Indignation the priceless hour of opportunity thrown
away by their Representatives. There is talk in some
quarters of Extra Session of Congress- II is idle talk
There should be- and there will be Extra Session 1t
would be an Extra delay for the enemy, and Extra
burden on the Treasury And to what end' Could the
people expect or demand from Extra Congress more
than they expect and demand from the Congress in
Sessions The vigorous, united and patriotic Legislative
industry of few days would suffice for all the legisa
ton which the its present stage requires Shall
the representatives of the people and of the States grant
the people this legislation withhold t Shall the gov
eminent be furnished at with the to close
this in that justice and honor which victory alone
can bring shall the confctwh all its dark incidents
Of blood and pestlencebe treated by Congress as some
hoyday pastme which legislative distraction inaction
is to protrac indefinitely at the expense, and for the
amusement OF the American people' These the
questions which every patriot must ask, he views the
scenes which have been for some time past enacted in
Congress
We speak with all respect, but speak, doubt
not the uppemost feeling OF -tenths OF this nation
when say that Congress should at once Tens of
thousands of brave and noble spirits among are burn
ing to act for their country in Mexico. Nor is the
cepted time for action, both here and there Let Con-
gress rise to the height of the popular enthusiasm and
give ii fit response. Let Congress repensh the Treas
ury The people traitng for such judcions tempo
rary taxation as the demands. The people prefer
eagerly their national credit for the loan The Ex-
ecuve has done, in accordance with the popular spirit
all that it can do. Let Congress augment the army
The people want lar under which they can EN-
body organizations which shall their vaor most
effectively for distant service Let there be no more de-
lay. Let the Executive longer appeal to Congress in
vain for aid in sustaining the just of the country
against the enemy. Before this great emergency
in the legislative business of the country let partisan an
tpathes and sectional feuds be still If they cannot be
eradcated let them at least bde their tmer Thrust
forward they shame, and curse, and wo to
the land We look to the patriotism of Congress and
the patriotic enthusiasm of the people to frown them
down.
We give below some of the utterances of the popular
sentiment as it comes 10 from far and We trust
that Congress will heed it and we urge again upon the
press of the whole country the duty of speaking out the
loud voice of the people demand at once in response
to the repeated call of the Executive, THAT CON-
GRESS SHALL NO LONGER DELAY ITS WORK

WAR MExIco.-The prospect of honorable peace
with Mexico is at the present tme very remote. Taking
no consideration the present attitude OF the Two Countries

Congress- has been reported have To the deteun

soil We see nothing before MS but war which will re-
qure all the energies of the general government for much
longer period than have been induced expect We
do that there is any other left for pur
than prosecute the war; and force her of
peace by infection of all the distress and caanes
which hostile force within her boundaries is capable of

tended by government should be thrown aside, and
conciliatory policy the Mexican people should be mod

such policy, but they conenptibe both in numbers
