 COHoRxss.-The deed is done. A Soye- reign State has been disffanchised, and her chosen Representatives have been refused their seats on the floor of Congress. The five New Jersey members have been tbrust from the House by brute force. the power of numbers. or the desperation of King Majori- ty, writhing in hts dcath throes, under the lOiIs of dissolution. This desperate attempt to break down the constitution, in inc halls If our National Legislature, in the very sanctu- ary where it should receive the highest pro tcction, is but the beginning of the end' of our republican system. Grosser acts will follow, under the sanction Of the present cor rupt and desperate administration; and we have reason to believe, from what in this case we experience, that among the noble, high. minded, chiv0lric State Rights men of the South, dough faces enough will be found to be moulded to its purposes. Talk to us no moro of SlGte Rights Hnen-of high and indomitablc principles ofhonor-while such men as Pick. ems, aud Rhelt, and Shepard, can play the dastard, and truckle to such men as Duncan, Vandepoel, and Bynum! And that too in the face oftheir own preconceptions and dec. larations, formed in the exercise of indepen. dent minds. How will they look in the eyes of their constituents, after the performance of such an act! Coerced to it too, like so many whipt spaniels, crouching at the foot. stool of an unlenient master. Would to heav- en we could sec John Randolph again, in the hail which they have desecrated, ,pointing his long bony finger at them, with the whitening scorn that should attend their sacrifice, that this dougk Jaced net might be ,perpetuated through all the records of time. We look no more to South Carolina for chiUelry!

PRESIDENT MADISON.
Ex-Governor Isaac Hill, Nov. %, 1873 in the
New Hampshire Patriot said:
: w nat man llves, whose whole neart anu soul Is
British that sincerely rejoice in the late
victories OF Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
pride in the ,aor and patriotism OF the heroes OF
the West who have freed country large as the En-
pirc Of Alexander the Great from the Indian toma-
hawk and scaping knife If there be such an one
he i traitor to his countryhe possesses the spirit Of
a murderer
JonN M. NILES, late Van Buren, candidate for
Governor in Connecticut, in his Life of Perry,
published in 1921, after giving general biogra-
ply Of General Harrison, said:
" The defence of Fort Megs and the subsequent
capture of the British army may be fairly considered
the most brilliant and extraordinary events OF the late
war
In abiding 10 the battle the Thames, he said
must be conceded that this ricfory reflected great
honor upon The national arms, and upon me troops by
irhom II trds adhered
" The action and the movements which preceded it,
afford ample testimony Of the judgment and cool ntre
pdity ofGeneral Harrison and indeed, all the events
of the campaign support these characteristics the
disasters attending it having in no instance been I'M
puable to him.
There are perhaps record few instances of such
cool and steady intrepdity, the part of militia, or
force of this description, displayed on this
occasion.
Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
received with every demonstration of JOY and ad
vibrations the discharge of cannon illumnations &c.
They hailed the deliverers of the frontiers.
