We observe that some OF the Northern psper,

such assertion. Il such be the intention Of III. Pres;

course, without being impressed with the strongest
convictions OF the unconsttuIionali,y of the Bill If

The Condition efhs Majority ia and Oui Of Congress
Much alarm has been felt and expressed by our
political friends here and throughout the country, |
that the presen, Congress would adjourn withou,
bringing 10 maturity any or all Of the great mea- |
sures OF relief which the county so much needs and
40 peremptorily and earnestly demands. And We !
have been panied to see the too great readiness,
which some portion OF the press and many ndivi-
duaIs Also have Joined in the expression of diaru,,
OF the ability and intention OF our friends in Con-
gress, and OF the Executive Also TO meet the wants
and requirements OF the Country at the present ses
sion.
1t IS no, for 4 moment 10 be supposed that any
auherence OF opinion among enlightened and eminent
men, upon matters Of comparatively small import.
ance will be permitted TO stand IN the way of the
contamination OF measures upon which toe inter-
es;s Of the whole country and the very existence Of
a powerful and patriotic party depends.
We believe that al! such differences will be, Il /
they are not already, fully aud satisfactorily ar.
ranged, and that all the great measures now before
Congress will, in some satisfactory form. become
laws OF the land Should this be the case, the pre-
sent Congress will have more fully met the wishes
Of the people than any Congress which has assem-.
b.ed for many years.
OF tie able and patriotic head of the Govern
ment and his Cabinet, much is expected, bu, the
country has in the high reputation Of each of these
gentlemen, the highest guaranty that no obstacle
viii be allowed 10 prevent the full contamination of
all its wishes. We shall never permit any honest
difference ofoPniOn upon minor matters entertained
among our friends, to alarm ". It is tho great dis
unsushnE characteristics OF the members of the
party now in power, 10 think q themselves, AMI no,
biindly and isnorantly 20 do the bidding Of few
constituted leaders. Moreover, there are too many
points oiunon, too many strong ligamen,s oil prin.
cpIe holding US together, to make the failure of any
single one destructive to our unity. This is notime
10 despair Of the republic-oc what is the same
thing OF the Prominence OF the principles Of the
present majority; so far from it, all ahead look,
bright aud promising.
