From the Philadelphia North American
CONGRESS AND THE COUNTRY.

We doubt if there is another legislative body on
earth presenting such a spectacle of nacton mutual
distust, indifference to principle and reckessness Of
duty, our Congress at the present time The suf.
erlngs of fifteen millions Of people are unable to in
duce harmony, OF excite to efficient councils The
credit OF many of the States is in peril that of others
is in ruins the currency is destroyed enterprise crush

vituperation
The nationis betrayed Yes, bsirayd,-and that,
too by the very men in whose fidelity Law her last
hopes, her last expedients Rernonstrance may per-
haps yet avail, and il ought to roll in thunder from
every city and town upon our National Capitol. The
there assembled should be made to feel the ire
mendous responsibilities under which they are placed
Their apathy and party chickering's are fatal not to
thousands but TO millions; they are treason not 10 a
community State but to a nation Their politi-
cal sales are as contemrtuous a mockery of the ca.
amltes Of the country the variations Of Neros I'D
die when Rome in hameil How came we 10
this pass what disastrous causes have precpitated
us upon this crisis Is not now the question. The
question Is how shall eItficaie ourselves from our
condition. what measures shall he adopted what
plans be put in execuonl These require, in our
National legislators concert freedom from party strife
mutual counsels and united action and without these
all hope of relief is in vain. Congress is now like
sinking ship with her in state Of mutiny -
Down they 90 into the engulfng deep clutci,ing and
stranging each other amid the death horrors Of the
wreck ne very waves might rocoi from this frati-
