Congress

Congress will meet in two weeks. It seems that we shall have a Democratie House of Repvesentatives, a Whig Senate. and a non-descript President. How these several dignitaries will harmonize together, remainsto be seen. One of the first sources of trouble anticipated is the right of certain members to their seats. - The law requires that Representativos shall be elected by single districts, yet New Hampshire, Missouri, Georgia, and Mississippi have elected théir delegations by general ticket. A question will arise whether these delegations shall be admitted as members. This may consume a couple of weeks, perhaps. A specimen of the manner the most important business was done in the House of Representatives last winter, may be seen on the first page. We have no reason to believe that the present Congress will exhibit any better manners than their predecessors. A Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier, says that John W. Jones, of Virginia, will probably be the candidate of the Van Buren división for Speaker in the House, and Dixon H. Lewis, of Alabama, of ihe friends of Mr. Calhoun. He thinks it not unlikely that Mr. John Campbell,of S. C. will be"finally selected. - Dct. Adv. . Bothr the Democratie candidates for Speaker must be slnve-hoiders, of cours el The Whig papers have nomnated two Whig Slave-holders for the same office, whose names have escaped us. It is impossible for a Northern man to be a Speaker now. During the last thirty-five years, the North has had a Speaker only seven years! The office of Speaker is next in importance to that of President. Henee the Slave-holders will vote for none except of their own number, and magnanimously give the rest of the nation the option of having a Whig slaveholder for Speaker, or a Democratie slave-holder. They ha,ve now the exclusive monoply of that office. {L7 We find the fallowing going the rounds of the Whig papers. Were it one of Mr. Clay's "fat and sleek" ones, instead of Mr. Tyler's, we suspect they would not be so free with their witticisms, One of thè President's slaves has run away.from his farm in Williamsburgh. We'do not blame him, says the Wheeling Times. Nor we either, says the Salem Register. He has bought so many white slaves latei y , and such fellows, that we don't wonder the negroes are ashamedto train in süch company, ■
