CONGRESS.
This body met last Monday, the 1st Inst. The present session will expire 4th of March. It is not probable that much of importance will be done this session. The Republicans have a nominal majority in the Lower House, but the Senate—that august and noble body, composed of the giant minds of the nation—is decidedly democratic, and not likely to harmonize with a Republican faction. The session is likely to be consumed in debates and speeches, which doubtless will be of uncommon interest as developing the state of feeling in reference to the coming question of Union or Disunion. From this time forward we, individually, are for that party, of whatever name, that most loves and that will best conserve this glorious and blood-cemented Union.
