Congress.
The New &male Chamber.—On Tnes
day last the United States Senate
removed from the old into the new
hull. A great crowd was in attend
ance on the occasion. The session
was opened in the old chamber in the
morning, as usual with prayer and the
rending of the journal. Mr. Davis sub
mitted the report of tho cvmmi:teq,
stating that the new hall was ready for
their occupancy. Mr. Crittenden mov
ed the adoption of the report, and made
;Ai impressive and appropriate speech.
Tho removal had much of solemnity
about. it. Many proud aisoeiations
bound them to tho old hall. /t had
been the natio of many great events.
In it questions of great national im
port--questions of peace or war—bad
been debated ; and great men had been
the actors them. Calhoun, Clay, Web
ster, Wright, Lee, and others, had left
on those very walls the impress of their
fame. The inspiration of illustrious
predecessors would go with them into
the new chamber.
Vice President Breckinridge then ad
dressed the Senate, giving a historical
sketch of Congress at the various
seats of . govemment nntil its location at
Washington. Then he narrated the in
cidents of the burning of the Capitol by
the British army, the assenib.inietliere
after of Congress in Blodget's Hotel, on
the site now occupied by the General
Post Office, and finally the assembling
in 1819. in the present building.
Ho then went into an interesting
comparison of the character of the Sen
ate in the early days of the government
and now. Then it was almost wholly
an executive body. Much of its busi
ness was transacted with closed doors.
The President often took part in the
debates, and it was not. for many years
that galleries were furnished for spec
tators.
After further remarks, which were
listened to with 'great attention, the
Senate proceeded in procession to the
new hall, where business went on as
usual.
The new Senate chamber resembles
that of the House, bat is more mellow
in its painting.

despatch from Washington
City:
" WASHTNCITON, December 28
" Republican Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress are said to have
conic to the- unanimous conclusion that
parties and politics are so shaped in this
Congress, that nothing will be effected
during the present session concerning
the Pacific Railroad or a modification
of the tariff. That is equivalent to de
claring that they will do all in their
power to prevent the consummation of
any practical result in either matter,
with a view of keeping the questions
open to strengthen their own party in
the national election of 1860."
Was ever hypocrisy exhibited upon
a larger scale Here are the very men
who were deafening the public ear, just
before the election, with their clamor
about a tariff for the protection of
American labor, now taking the back
truck, and giving public notice that
they do not intend to press the matter
before the present Congress. They in
tend to defeat all attempts to frame a
judicious tariff, so that they can keep
the question an open one, and make it
an issue for the Presidential campaign
of 1860. They know how much poli
tical capital can be made out of this
sham, and they intend to make the
most of it. It made thousands of votes
in their favor in some sections of the
country, at the late elections, and they
intend to try the same game over
again. The people may be deceived
once by those transparent shams, but
WO doubt whether the second trial will
be successful. They must see, with
half an eye, that all this has beon done
to entrap their votes ; they will hardly
walk into the fire with their eyes wide
open. The game has been tried once
too often already.
