J THE LATE SESSION, the most important su jeet, perhaps on ybhich Congress djid wot act eohdusively during late session, though it was pa?- fl l!y d'scu 8B?,d in thi* Senate, was tb * or- and eiuiifiettio of the militia fa such a manner as to give effi jf-nry to > Jj<* aillita y body bf tile nation, and.to subject 4fo the due control of (he geieral i-o ernmeiSl #o tis cfts'ie provided for by the fonuuitii i >n. The defect of the JLwa, in tlwcp&ti. nkir, ■\rc!i ibsfnlVsf during the late war to leave any (lo'dtit on the mind* of unprejwft and then, •f the expediency of making su h pro ‘visions as will prevent a recurrence of the Ikmerable constitutions! quibbles, under the shadow Bf which the federal governors, ttiose of Massacbusettß and Vermont par taeubrly, eaeaped ihepCifrm\nce of tjbeir siuty as oflieers and <fi Americans. That amnnot bo constitutional, whlrii would over* Cairn the constitution: and the laws ought to provide coercively for the performance •f their duty by those, however fyigh their stations, who spurn the force of moral obli gation*. it ought not to he supposed, be cause Congress has nut acted on this sub* gat ? that they undervalue its important e. The sobji-et was pretermitted at tho last session, Low motives of convenience, or of policy. It will perpetually r'ruructii a remedy is provided far this canker at tui* root of our liberties. Amon; the other propositions before Con fwess not dt finitely acted oa, was the esUb ishmeut of a corps of invalids It was J>rop<i3od in the Hatisa of II preentativeaj Vi* briefly discussed, ordered to r third Xfe&din;*, thenlai lan the table, where it adopt till tlso eud <tf the session. Ti tsmea* •r.re is one, respecting ill'’ polic y of hieb. In eur couutry, some doubt w u expressed by a gy. em&n whose opinions re entitled to profound respect, the majority of the Representatives inclined o theme* sure; fknt, at the request of those who doubted, trtie question was dtfern and. The question toot having be ju nosnmed, remrius open far public eousideriiiion. The bill refpee’ing the Military Atade fDy, which some tim? before the House ls Kepresciitatives, ohared the same f*te as tfir.a,t respecting the Invalid Corpx. There *vas a strong ion in Conzt-e?* to ex tend this establishment, hut milch dfle.rcncfc of opinion as to the mode of doing ii. .That measure which, to us,appears most e.lvisa t>!c, seems to have been tie least relished by Congress. Ttseory ceruiuly recommends that the principal Military Academy, or at > least a branch of it, be established in thevi icity of the sent of government; and in this View, also, practical men concurred, the fi?c aretary of War end the proper military au thorities, having recommended theesfah , lishmentof&n ecadamy within the Lisin; l foolumbia. But this unfortunate district is served in somewhat of the manner, in ivbich its companions and associates are to persecute a crippled deer.

If (hat opinion prevails, there is a mode of supplying the defect,which ou’tto be immediately resorted to. But bave not Congress already legis- Lted on that subject, in respect t® the g/ii&t Cumberland road, and to roads through va rious parts of the western tetri tones ? Hav ing done so, without a question of their pdw or, we presume no serious doubt is t t- is day eatertained of it. T° th® expediency of esUbiishing.® fund for the -purpose ct’ making national 10 ds, and arlifi ial *ni!s where there expense will not da•-weigh thtrr utility, we presume the people of the t : States gener&tly eannot be iiif’iftcreut. Let. th-ir kepresoatatives, then, ho advieed of their wishes, t>ud the object wilt suou be aetOmphshad, , A bill .0 establish a sy9l c m of navigation for the U. H. had nearly bcabmea law, having d the Setiato, end been ordered to a third reading .n the other housv J when, at the instance of a gentleffisn, who desirvd to intredure an amcndmetit to it, the hill w 3 Lid on the table, and left there on th? never having been resumed TANARUS; is is to he regretted as the hill had been matnrbd nd digested with mn>h enpe, and comprehended a system of regulations high ly important to the real substantia! naviga ting interest-of the United States. .Itwi\B not owing, v,e believe to the imperfection of iu detail, that the bill did uot become a law, but rather to tfie lateness of the period ofthd session t which it w as brought before the House of Representatives. There were doubtless other objects net acted on S.y Congress, which are believed by m .ny to huve merited their notice, whhh we shall r.ol attempt to enumerate, having intended to meuiion only the most niomiueat. Su much Ihssolresdy been said if the omis don to autAnent the compensali ons of the Judges of the U.’ States,’ and of ,ihe t great officers .of government, ,>at he same time that Congress icereascd their own emoluments, that we will only allude *0 it a? a snbjeef of regret. The question of an uniform bankrupt law-was not discussed, probably because the public opinion docs not appor to fje so decidedly in favor of it as to require Congress to act on it. Notwithstanding the omissions we have noticed, and others w hich do not so forcibly strike us, we remain deoidediy of the opin ion, that Congress h*ve never, at any pi ece efiog Session, acted 00 so large aprnpartion of the propositions submitted to them, as have keen perfected into laws at the {session which has just terminated.
