GUILLOTINING THE HON. MIR. MORRIS

The letter of Mr.. Morris appears to have ex-
cited immensely the wrath of the ultra party
men. They are excessively indignant that any
impl tation should be cast on party spirit or par
ties in general, or the party in particular. They
bubble round and round the letter, to force its
language into meaning to suit their own pur-
poses, and then assail their own Interpretation
with labored ingenuity of paralogism and acri-
mony of abuse; not emitting to administer a
dose of viuperation, so diluted that its bitterness
is neutralzed though its other qualities are left
unaltered
We have no acquaintance with Mr.. Morris,
and have no idea of becoming his apoogist-
Our notice has been attracted by the extreme
sensitveness exhibited by some gentlemen,
when the wisdom and expedicncy of any act
sanctioned by party, or by the party, are call
ed in queston-or when any one is found so
presumptuous as to suspect that any measure
might have been adopted not from the simple
motive of benefting the country, but for the
purpose of subscribing party ends. Doubt but
in single point-no matter how trivial-the ex-
ceence of what it does or ordains-refuse but
once obedience to party dictation. and you are
Immediately dismissed from its pale. Could
there be more convincing proof of the tight
ness with which certain leaders wish to draw
party bonds, than the alarm produced by the
letter of Mr.. Morris2
We have read the letter attentively, and we
cannot, with all the calculation furnished BY
the comments which it has elected, discover
any thing in it so exceedingly exceptionable-
Congress has been more than six months in a
session, during period of difficulty and distress
demanding its legislation. The People, in ev-
cry section of the country, are becoming impa-
tent at its prolonged inactivity. During six
months almost nothing has b, en- done. For the
effect there must be a cause. No one will pre-
tend TO assert that the members of the impor-
tant committees have not exhibited sufficient
industry. More bills have been reported than
the House can act on within three years, at the
present rate of movement. The. cause of the
