Congress.
Nothing of importance has been transacted in
either branch of Congress during the past week. '
The letter from "Harvey Birch," in another col
umn, which we copy from the Philadelphia Forum,
gives a history of one week's proceedings, and we
remark, that with but a trifling alteration, that let
ter might be given as the history of the subse-
Tient week's doings.
The Standing Committees of both Houses have
been appointed, but the crowded state of our col
umns will not permit us to insert them at present.
In the annals of the world, no representative body
has ever exhibited the curious and lamentable spec
table, of near one tenth of, its members taking scats
in open contravention of its own laws and electing
a presiding officer whose seat also is in dispute !
Not that I impute blame to the Speaker elect, for
ho holds his scat in the House, constitutionally until
Mr. Bows can succeed by the same high arbitri
moot in dispossessing him. But it was wrong, and
so it will yet be universally acknowledged, to set
the dangerous precedent of allowing the violators
of the law, lawlessly to take seats among the law
makers of our land. Such a course must pollute
the fountain heads of legislation—and its streams,
instead of contributing to healthy irrigation over
the land, will carry in their course the impurities
and unhealthy malaria of the source. There is
however yet one hope—one lingering hopo to cling
to ! The House con yet, in part. repair the wrong
it has inflicted on the constitution, by a fair, candid,
and high toned investigation of the constitutionali
ty of the law of the last Congress. I hardly dare
doubt that this will be done—l hardly dare hope that
the majority will so fur soar above party shackles as to
allow them to du it. The constitutionality of the
law is undoubted, save by those who are interested
in preserving party ascendency ;—but I will not an
ticipate the debate which must take place on the
subject, by giving my views.
I have said that the majority has refused to enter
lain plans of retrenchment, when we learn, front
the recent Executive message, that our annual de
ficit will be large. This has been shown indirectly,
by the unprofitable consumption of time--and di
rectly by votes on the subject of printing. Our
political opponents ever prate loudly about their re
forms and economy—unfortunately their theories
are never reduced to practice. If theoretical spec
ulation and promises before the people, could Mien
exhausted treasury, I would take the professions of
our locofoco friends and stipulatejn ten years to pay
off the national debt of Great Britain ! How little
do their retrent:hing qualities became manifest from
a review of this week's work. Proposition after
proposition was submitted by the Whigs to reduce
the fast of printing, which has become a great bur
then on tho people, although by the admission of
Mr. McKay of N. C. in debate, not more than ono
half the quantity is now done, there used to be.—
It was one of the legacies of Van 13urenisni to tine
Whigs, to find the price of the public documents
exhorliitant, and efforts were made during the last
Congress to retrench, which were not however en

Trial List f4r Zanuary Term 1844.1 '
It will be seen by this list, published in another
column, that one hundred and fflecn causes aro
marked for trial at the nest term of the Court of
Common Pleas of this county.
We do not know what effect the "divieion ques
tion," so long agitated at Hollidaysburg, has had
upon this list, but we do know that the list itself is
to be arrayed in; the next legistature as an "argu
ment" in favor of division !
It is a source of regret that there is not a rule of
Court to remedy this protracted evil. 'rite people
of the country complain bitterly of the injustice that
is done to the county as well as to suitors, by bring
ing the parties and witnesses in a hundred causes
into Court, term after term, when there is no proba
bility of trying fifty. Would it not be infinitely
better to limit she list to forty or fifty suits? If
this were done, causes could be tried with much
less expense and trouble to all concerned, and with
more speed than under the present system.
Persons not conversant with the business anti
rules of Courts, are apt to compare and judge of
the number of pending suits by the length of trial
lists. In this they are greatly mistaken. Where
ver a short list is seen, there is a rule of Court Um
fling it. In this county there is no restriction
whatever, and if the Attorneys think proper, they
may place every suit that is at issue on the trial list,
though it should stretch it out as long as the moral
law.
Attorneys also find it very troublesome to have
. unreasona b!e a number of suits on .the list.—
They moot prepare in every can in which they aro
respectively concerned, unless continued by the
consent of the opposite party or attorney, as long as
there is even a remote possibility of reaching such
cases. For the same reason parties and witnesses
must he in attendance.
An effort will ho made to hove a new rule for the
regulation of trial lists adopted at the next Court,
which wo hope will prove successful, and remove
this crying evil.

Letter from 'Washington.
Wasmva•ray, Saturday, Dec 9, 1843
Yesterday and to-day have been devoted by the
members to making acquaintances among themselves
and sending off messages. I would be difficult, in
reviewing the proceedings of the first week of the
session, to say what benefit has resulted to the coun
try. Locofocoism, with a tremendous majority of
more than two to one in the House, of course has
its own undisputed way. Armed with brute strength,
it has overborne the sanctity of the constitution and
the laws : refined to listen to plans of retrenchment
although the President's Message tells us the treas
ury will be deficient four or five millions; and was
ted time in fruitless attempts to prevent this minority
from entering upon the journals their solemn pro
test against the admission of those members who
have been elected by General Ticket.
They have effected their organization—placed,
their most violent partizans in office, and the enjoy
ment of the emoluments; anti to do this, have ab
solutely refused to take the time to perfect a system
of rules for their own governance! They have
been a at sea" the whole week, without rudder,
compass, or chart to direct them, and the consequence
has been that the questions before the House have
become too intricate for old members to understand,
to say nothing of the large majority of new ones.
The strange fact will be presented on Monday, that
the correction of the preceding Monday's journal,
is the first business in order ! Instead of meeting
the question of the General Ticket members on its
threshold, and considering it, ns the grave character
of the question demands; instead of showing a
willingness to support the dignity of the House and
vindicate the supremacy of its laws, they have frit
tered away their time in speeches intended for ef
fect abroad, and cut and dried at home before they
came here. Why, if they are so confident of show
ing their legal and constitutional right to their seats,
did they not, under a new and important law, patri
otically ask that the constitutional question should
be tried and decided before they placed their feet
within the guarded sanctuary of the House!
I would ask, does not anarchy reign, when twen
ty members have seats in the House of Representa
tives, whose credentials are of no more validity,
than the paper on which lam now writing? What
is the difference whether a Ncpoleon with his gene
&urine, a Cromwell with his hallierteers or an over
hearing majority without the color of law or consti
tutional right, thurst upon the people, as their repro
sentatives, those who are not chosen by the written
eodcof the land Is this Congress legally consti
tuted 1 Aro its laws valid or binding! Alas if
the enactments of the last fairly chosen Congress
are thus despised and trampled on, what can we
expect will be the degree of respect attnehed to the
proceedings of this? Such scenes as I have wit
nessed this week are painful in the extreme '—
When I see party spirit overriding the laws, and an
unrelenting majority shut their ears and harden their
hearts against the complaints of those who mat
the dignity of the laws, I tremble for the perpetuity
of our free institutions. I see the pillars of our
republican f: s •rie undermined by the corroding
breath of dernagogueism, and can fancy, that the
proud monarchs of Europe, who have predicted such
a fate for us, are already beginning to point the fin
ger of scorn at us, while sorrowing friendship, in
lands where freedom has sought to find an abiding
place, weeps over the early rum of our democratic
form of government.

correct performance, and when Mr. CAMPBELL Of!
S. C. MOM] to cut down the prices fixed by the
resolutions of 1919, sonic twenty per cent., those
great and magnanimous sticklers for the largest and
fullest liberty of speech and debate, cut off the con
sideration of all pending amendments by the gag of
the previous question before the House had been
occupied on the proposition ten minutes! I can
enlighten my readers on the why and wherefore of
the cause. Blair & Rives had received the caucus
nomination for printers, and it was necessary to
make every possible requisition on the national trea
sury to supply money to carry on the next presiden
tial campaign through the columns of the Globe!
Disinterested patriots !
A movement was made by Mr. RAMSEY of the
Dauphin District of Pa., and urged by GEN. Palen,
to procure the printing of a limited number of the
President's Messages in the German language, but
the business was so entangled, for want of rules,
that the resolution could never be placed fairly be
fore the House. These gentlemen represent a largo
German constituency, hard working and industrious
farmers, who are always extremely gratified to re
ceive public documents which they can read and
understand, and we doubt not the endeavors of their
representatives on this occasion will be duly appre
ciated. While several of our State Legislatures
invariably publish important public papers in Ger
man, I must confess it seems strange, that our Na
tional Councils have never adopted the same most
commendable system:
The only other business of the week has been
the attempt to fight the Protest of the Whigs off
the Journal ! How weak, even in its strength, must
be that majority which refuses the right of Protest
to a ininority ; which twists and turns and tangles
in the labyrinthine meshes of the web parliamenta
ry, a simple expression of opinion, until its intrica
cies threaten its destruction, unless some far hand
be allowed to present a clue for extrication ! What
do the majority fear l Is it the expression of a die-'I
sent on the part of less than a quarter of the House
to the proceeding of the majority who assume that
their course is legal? If, as Mr. KENNEDY of In
diana urged, the Districting Law is a farce and nul
lity, why not let the people have their laugh out at
the Whig protest? Instead of drawing down odium
on themselves, according to this view of the ques
tion, it would be a rare piece of policy to spread this
interlude on the Journals! Does not the course of
the majority show then, that they fear to have this
question fairly stated to the people and that they are
anxious to avoid the responsibility of confuting the
Proteatl I can see the inference in no other light,
and I question, if it will not so be regarded through
out the land, and thus the outrage attempted will
recoil upon its perpetrators. Let it be remembered
that the mere fact of placing the Protest on the
Journal, does not influence the question as to the
validity of the claiins which the general ticket mem
bers make to seats. It is nothing but the express
ion of individual opinion, which if excluded from the
published proceedings of the House, would carry
with it the impression that there was no dissenting
voice to this stab of the Constitution. Is it not
plain then that the locos dread the question?
I would remark that this Protest does not contain
the names of all who approve of its sentiments. It
was drawn up on the morning of the first day's
meeting, without notice given generally to tho Mem
bers, whose residences were not known, and thus
the names of Messrs. Mounts, BUFFINGTON, Fitton
and others from your State do not appear on it,
though they cordially support it, and would add
their names, if possible.

LETTER TO MR. CLAY.
LANcesTzn, Nov. 14, 1843
Resit Sin :—A largo majority of the Anti-Ma
sonic party of Pennsylvania admire your political
character, and appreciate your public services.—
They think with you in those great leading mea
sures of National policy which you have long ably
and successfully advocated.
I have been requested by several respectable gen
tlemen (members of the Anti-Masonic party) re
spectfully to ask you in what relation you stand to
the Institution of Free-Masonry.
I am, sir, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
L. C. REICART.
Hon.llENny CLAy.
MR. CLAY'S ANSWER.
ASHLAND Nov 25 1842.
DEAR SIR :I have duly received your letter
requesting me at the instance of several respectable
gentlemen of the Anti-Masonic party in Pennsylva
nia, to state what aro my existing relations to Free-
Masonry.
I entertain great repugnance to appearing before
the public at all, on any subject, and especially upon
one which, according to my humble apprehension,
is not necessarily connected with the administration
of the General Government; but the respectful
terms in which you have been pleased to address
me, and the conscientious motives by which I pre
sume you to be actuated, entitle you to a frank and
full answer to the inquiry contained in your letter;
and I now have the pleasure of accordingly trans
mining such an answer.
I became a Mason in early life, from youthful cu
riosity and a social disposition. DM I never had
any taste for, or MS !ouch skilled in the mysteries
of the Order. All the professed objects of the •In
stitution as developed to me (and I know no other)
were charitable and benevolent. I never did con
tract, and never would have contraced, any obliga
tions whatever incomputable with my duty to my
country, or to society. I have alway regarded the
Constitution and Laws of the land as Supreme, and
my obligations and duties to my country as para
mount to all earthly obligations and duties.
Official evidence of my retirement from the
Lodge upwards of nineteen years ego, has been
published ; and I have not since been a member of
any lodge, nor held any office, place or appointment
of any kind in the Institution. Nor do I believe
that I could, upun my own knowledge or reeollee
lion of its rites and ceremonies, obtain admission, at
this time, in nny Lodge of any degree whatever. I
never in my life voted for or supported any man,
for any civil or military or other appointment under
Government, because he was a Mason ; nor against
any man because he was not a Mason. In 1525 I
voted for Mr. ADAMS, as President of the United
States, although, as I have understood, he was not
a Mason; and against General Arr UItEW JACKSON,
notwithstanding he was a distinguished member of
that Order : but it is proper to state that I was net
at all influenced by that fact. Among my most de
termined political opponents in Kentucky are Ma
sons, who now or lately held according to the news
papers, eminent stations in the Lodge.
Such is a faithful account of my relations to Ma
sonry, an institution which has comprised some of
the most eminent men of our country, dead and
living. I presume that the experience of many
men has been, like my own, that as wo advance in
life, we cease to take any interest in attending such
institutions. _ _
In the sentiments of love of country, of obedi
ence to its laws, of acknowledgement of their para
mount obligation, and of devotion to our Free In
stitutions, by which all ought to he, and I under
stand Anti-Masons are animated, I most heartily
and cordially concur.
With great respect, I am your
Obedient servant,
H. CLAY.

Iron Fancy flailing.
The following paragraph is from the " Hunting
don Globe" of last week. We concur fully in the
praise bestowed on the subject matter thereof.
" We have just seen an iron railing manufac
tured by WILLIATI A. PATTON, in the shop of F,
13. Wallace, Esq. in this borough—the railing is in
tended for the building lately erected by the Hon.
J. G win, and is made entirely of wrought iron.— .
We have had opportunities of seeing fancy railing
in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and we can safely
say that this is not inferior to any thing of the kind
we have ever seen. We understood that Mr. P.
purposes, if he is encouraged by the public, to re
main in this place. [To] any person who is desi
rous of having an ornament of this nature at their
[his] buildings, we would say go and examine the
railing that has just been put up at Judge Gwin's
residence, and we doubt not, you will immediately
I leave an order with Mr. Patton for the construction
of one of the same kind for yourselves,'" [yourself.]
