The Late Session of Congress.
The thirty-three days, to which the
Blast Congress "limited its first ses- .
siou, Ware, on the whole, well spent".
We are grateful fo• some excellent lng
islittion completed, for .sorue - very - bad
legislation prevented, and for the early
adjournment. One or two measures
that olight, to have passed were lost
befweeu the Houses;' but on the other
hand some exceedingly worthless ones
shared the same fate.
The act by which the session will,
be-longest-remembered is-one for whose
prompt passage wo have to tliank the

Another and not less grateful signifi

new Administration in matters of na
tional policy
Next to this, we - reckon the act to
strengthen the Public Credit, a measure
which this Congress only gained the
honor of priming because of Mr. Jelin
son's perversity in depriving the last
one of it through his Pocket Veto. Its
excellent effect was immediately per
ceptible ;—if' now we can only re-en
force it by using our surplus gold to
buy up our botids.in the market, and
,by a relentless and thorough`collectiob"
of our Cusloms and Inter'nal Revenue,
we shell soon heou the highway to an
era of sounder finances. The bill .to
enlarge the judicial system by the ad
dition

Court. and by the appointment of Cir

onerous duties, is a measure the neces

more tepid disposal of carthes through

-Rion :of - thrtTemirezof=olllclt - discussions
we can hardly commend so highly. It
retrains the principle which we hold_to
be important .but does it in a blind,
bungling way that was only accepted
with satisfaction because it seemed un
der the circumstances to be the hest
ling then 'attainable: - The -1 mgllis
puted Indian Appropriation bill, which
was finally cut down to six and a quar

been reduced yet lower. The experi- ,
meat of giving two millions of this .

pieces of legislation which now and

and doubtful manner.

Liu tall .IptiM fig strem bout ai x feet in aright,
and did in his prime, I am told, weigh
Ifln pounds; but now probably falls-I5 or
*2O pounds short .of that weight. His com
plexion is very brown, and -amiettra ,per-.
Imps darker than it actually is from the
light fresh brown color of h s hair. His
far- is smooth shaved, and bears-no marks
of mxtrenie.. age„,orof_tha.strong „powers
which have Characterized the man . in his
full vigor; or of his present proetration.
It in unruffled and unwrinkled, anti calm
and even gentiound amiable in expression.
And in this connection I may say, my in
formation about this- remarkable man is,
that in private intercourse he isqiingolarly
free from any bitter Or censorious reflec
tions npon, his opponents whom in public.
lie lashes and denounces Ed, fearfully. On
the contrary he • will try to bring out what
good qualiti6 , or redeeming traitg , they
may possess, or to give a favorable inter..
pretation to.their conduct. The face as a
whole is 'tither long and narrow, and
slightly retreating above and below the
nose. It is somewhat high and broad at
the cheek brow, and gradually ditoini-dies
in width down t,O a long, plain chin.- The
nose is of good SUP and shape. Tire fore
head perpendicular, of moderate width,
and well carried up at the top of the sides ;
is - very smooth, free from a single noticable
depression sir projection. The top line has
a very gradual 'rise from front to back,
and does not - present - such extra Ordinary
height at the crown as a phrenologist,
would 'be 'likely to look for in a ,Sian of
the ' , Parson's" wonderfully unswerving,,
persistent career. His head generally is
of the high and narrow typt Altogether
the head and face are not those of a tight
mg man who lights can amore,
The treinendMet qualities lie hiss shown
must be 1001-ed for somewhere else, or be
explained n, come other manner. ,fly so
lution of the problem is that he has great
singleness and intensity b of conviction and
purpose, great honesty, great hopefulness,
gle•it religious fhith, and moderate cam.
tiOII,IINS or circumspection ;.and that cir
cumstances have donc.alLthe fest. When
he, with such a charcter, took ft position,
it because uli the world to him. His hon
esty - would not allow lift - to., belie it or -
shirk it his incautiousness diminished the
I dangers; his hopefulness saw di suceeSslul,
termination of the ,niggle; his faith sup
ported him With the thought that all was
in other hands at any rate; aod his inten
sity of purpose, impelled kith on. It so
'happened that Ito lived in a semi-barbarous
community wherl. , hi,s/convictions and
purposes were not, - idcorded with by the
majority and dominant portion of the peo
pie; where
.d tlo.y - 'h ad not then learned
that freedom,of speech, of the press, 'and
of 'action; Meant any thing also than free
dom to epiak, and publish, and do exactly,
what they approved of; and whore o revol
vers-and bowie k nives' stood guard against
all else. If he, would talk, then ho must
-fight. His soups repugnance to bondage,
and its -good faith with truth and duty,
wore stronger than its repugnance to do
battle i and so itd became a lighter, as the:
vihole country'knOws him. In proof that.
this-life of conflict grow out of aggresiion
upon his - moral nature, and,mis inharmo
nious with his general character, I cite his
present premattne prostration. Much of
hig oukuse„,hil has 'been,. obliged to drag,
against its peaceful instincts; into-the con
test, and it is this double duty which bite
which has thus early him out.
