CONGRESS.
At tho last accounts the house had not
fully organized, the difficulty with regard to
the New Jersey members not being settled,
On Thursday of last week, they succeeded
in temporaly organizing, by placing John
Q. Adams in the chair. Since then, the
house has been occupied in discussing varl

condescend to aid him in obtaining that
kindot " notoriety" to which he has of late
so anxiously aspired. The resolutions
which he introduced into tho Danville meet
ing, are, ot themselves, sulncicnt to give
him a quantem of "notoriety" that would
gratify tho most unbounded wishes of any
other but ono who is not a native
