LITICAL WOLVES AND H YENAS.
Our readers are aware thatth business OF
The nation is now at dead stand, on account
of the brols, hsart>burulngs, chickering's,
Ceuds. and an,mositles which exist among the
members of Congress a. the Capitol
A gentleman direct from Washington as
su,es us that affars are reSlly more deplorab'e
than have been represented IN the public prints
of the country. The Globe also now admits
that much Of the violent, proceedings at the
CAPITOL has been excluded from the colums OF
that paper, because ofIhe desire not 10 de-
grade Congress IN The eyes Of the American
peupIe and the world
Oue loud vuice Of indignation is heard
through the land agains, the violent conduct OF
the representatives OF The nation, which has
already consumed 80 much precious nme' ana
cost Tho people hundreds Of thousands OF dol
lars! We perceive, however, that the mem>
bers Of Congress are blsmed indlscr'mInately'
whereas csnsure should fall on those only VITO
are Justly obnoxious 10 The charges which have
been preferred against the whole.
Now who are the Tuffians, and buIIies, and
d,Sturbers Of the nations peace2 Are they
Wings, or are they Demuciasa Happily, we
are a5e TO exonerate the Democratic members
from all participation in these scenes ot ,om-
Foolery and Outrage. But, il may be asked,
why doenot the Democratic members interfere,
and endeovor 10 prevent these shameful pro-
ceediugs? lInhsppilV, they are in The MINORS
ty- and regarding the sQuabblos among lhe
Whg members IN Ibe ssTe lIghtHS breeze
between MIA sNd "de, they are not disposed
TO raise As.re,'s Ee>t RhOut their cars by med
ding 10 fami!y affairs wAIch do not particularly
concern themselves
In no iCstaaCs = have soy Of The Democratic
party been HE Hceres.er 10 The many qaarrsIs
which have eCcWueA dufirg tho ptetent ses-
sion of Congress. add enc ert~o De~oefallc
members hs,e only participated in the broi's
h(ler they had seen "nn,O0ly attacked by the
members Of the WhiE parly-es was The case,
in The attack Of Mr.. Arnold, Of Tennessee, up
en- Mr.. Burke, "f New Hampshire.
The Glob4 has taken the trouble 10 refer to
the files Of Copsrt s.ioDal Proceedings, has
compiled table Of the diso'derly days OF the
present seSa.o0, aSd given tie names OF inc
ooll,ical do dsSpeT4dePs NbO nave Aeen murder

that al least twenty days have sTe"dy been

Profit, Wise, Arnold, sod Rs!"et. GaVe been
the eadators IN tke amphIihssne at the peo-
pie! Mr.. Adams 10 particular, hsS been eoA-
epicuous sctor in all tho disturbances Ch'ch
have taken place.
1t is really high lime 'o@ethns was done to
but stop 10 ihese dlsGracefui proceedings.
The members Of Congress now tnter the leg
islaturs halls armed With the pistol aOd bowie
knife, and none can tell ., what moment blood
may flow, and who will be The vcum OF tho
mos, diabolical passion and revenge! Mon
calling themselves to the level of The wild
beasts of The menagerie, aDd like dogs, worry
their fellow dogs, and like byenas grin over
tho grave of murdered repu alton.
We repeat, something must be done TO pre-
serve the honor and dignity of The National
Legislature. Let Adams, and Wise, and PiO-
fit, and Bolts and Stanley, and Othere OF the
same blood hound disposition, be expelled
forthwith from the Capitol; for. until there are
elected from their seats in Congress there Will
be no peace in the natlon.-P Times.
