From the Calais (Maine) Frontier Journal
DIGNITY OF THE SENATE--The dignity of the Amer
lean Senate has been assaled, but It's dignity has been
promptly and giorousiy vindcaed! great triumph OF
dignity over the freedom of the press has been achieved
Hereafter let be understood that the Senate
eminent degree at least the essential quality OF
dgnity and thai they determined to maintain it, be-
cause they are paid for doing It seems to us, how
ever, that the Senate is tenacious OF Its dignity
than of its reputation that at the present moment there
is business to be done infinitely more important, than
maintaining dignity, about which, just now, the peo-
pie have curious Opn0ns which various opinions are
not likely to be changed by its recent acts 1t would be
the part of wisdom in that body to devote itself to the
speedy accomplishment of those great measures demand
ed for the safety and honor OF the country, instead Of
consuming time upon essentials, discovering ways
and to thwart the administration in its patriotic
efforts to do its whole duty Those greatly mistake who
imagine that the conduct of either branch OF the national
legislature during its present session, approved by the
people Everywhere hear the voice Of Indignation at
the shameful and it might almost be said, reasonable
neglect of Congress sustain the administration in its
efforts prosecute vigorously the with view to its
speedy termination. All the great interests OF the coun
try must be sacrificed to noisy defamation, and every
little great man must astonish the world with some
new project fresh from his own brain. The peo-
pie sick of this marching and countermarch
ing, manGuvrng and out man9uvrng, on the part OF
their representatives. They demand prompt action,
they want to them march square up to the ine and
put an end to the repetition Of scenes which disgrace the
actors and through the bring disgrace upon the coun
try. The people will not consent to sguander their
ney to no purpose! they will send men there who are
men, and who will obey their behests The press has
spoken out upon this subject in no measured terms Of
condemnation, and will continue to speak, and the peo
pie will act with vgor and effect There is sentiment
abroad in the land which cannot be repressed and al
though the Senate may have excluded from its floor
editor, for the uterance OF an expression mpugnng
its patriotism, very many will be found who fully
the sentiment of that editor and who will give IT
utterance.
That act of expulsion has INDICATED the dignity of the
Senate. Has it also its patriotism ?
