; t GENERAL CONGRESSES.
i A* a General Congress ? shortly to be held
in Europe, it is a subject of historical curiosity
: to look bad afid see when and on what occa
?iona those convocations which have changed
i the international relations of Enrope have l*cn
held. The approaching Congress prormfc* to
effect iumc important modifications these relations.
The first General Congress was that at
> which the treaty of Wc*tpbella (164$) became
the public law of Europe. ft composed the
religions dissensions which, arising out of the Uebad
torn and afSicted Europe for
I rfdrty year*. It produced this great change;
> the religious pa^ions ceased to agitate Europe
' The object* and occasions of hostility became,
' subsequently, commerce and the extension of
> territory. * ^
? The Congress that formed the "treaty of
tJtrecbt (1713) was the nest occasion of a great
- change. It closed the war of the Spanish snct
cession, ami retrained the ambition of J-oui#
Xl?# ttnd made cxk*d*e changes in the tern>
toriijj relation*,of Europe.
'Hie treaty Pans (1 <33) was not prodac*

years' war, and no farther to affect the internation
il relations of Europe than to confirm the

by Secretary Chase, was bitterly opposed.? .. \ 'H
It was cla'raied that the advantage given to
national banks in relief from taxation, etc./ . ' , / * |
would drive the State banks out of existence.

bulKon* which the* could sell at an enormous
profit, hut kept as a balance-wheel, whifc .the
