| The United States Gazette from which we copy
the subjoined remarks upon the late decision by the
House OF Representatives in the case of the con-
tested election from Florida, describes in few but
true words the effect Of that decision. From one
case to another Of usurped power the House of Re-
representatives. has come, in effect, to the point of
electing its members, under color of the gene
raj provision of the Constitution for preventing
illegal elections and returns. AT this moment, it is
known, the entire representation from two States
hold their seats in the House not by election ac-
cording to law, but at the mere pleasure of the
House ITSELF that body positively refusing to in
qure into the right Of those members to the places
which they fill Rather, indeed, than discharge
this very obvious duty-a duty imperative did not
party considerations stand in the way--proposi-
tons have been made by more than one member to
repeal the act Of Congress, though executed by
four-and-twenty Staes instead of obligng the other
two States 10 obey the ia,o! One OF the most desi-
rable amendments to the Constitution of the United
States would be to place in other hands than theirs
the power now possessed by each House Of Con-
gross to Judge of the elections and returns" of its
own members. Thus speaks the Gazette
"The loss Of single vote lin the House is of
little consequence one way or the other but the
violation of right by the Legislative authorities of
this nation is great evil-one that will be quoted
as precedent-one, perhaps, that has been cited
and acted on as precedent The wrong TO the
New Jersey members has not been forgotten
:. The great wrong Of admitting to seats in Con-
gress members elected contrary to the laws of
Congress must continue TO operate deleteriously.
And we are now beginning to learn that any ques-
ton, whatever may be its bearings, whatever may
be its merits, can be carried in Congress by an
appeal to party. This is a sad state of things,
the worse that it seems to be getting strength by
repetition"
