We have had the pleasure of seeing OF the MEM
beers of Congress who have arrived in Washington, and
happy witness the buoyant spirit which anmates
the democrats They report cheerngly of the people
Confding in the Justice of cause, and proud of the
achievements of their countrymen, they confirm our
decided conviction tn at this great people will
sent TO strike their lag until their rights and honor
amply maintained, and until we have obtained 'indem
nifty for the past and security for the future For them
selves the members have come to their posts determined
to do their duty and stand up for their country We have
finer spirit pervadng the representatives of
the States and of the People.
We trust and believe that the wings are deceving
themselves and that their hopes will be dashed pieces
They counting upon our divisions They fatter
ing themselves with the belief that shall be rent 10
pieces by discodant councils and by personal intgues
that democratic asprants will distract turn Congress
itself into miserable of mischievous intrigue
and selfish ambition, and that section will be arrayed
against secton-clique against clique-asprant against
aspant They trust that little disgust about APP
pointments has soured this that member against the
administration and that its will be thwarted by
coalition between the wings and some of
political friends. We will not believe it. The wing
opposition is too strong to permit TO throw away
any portion of our strength We must stand togeth-
err We express ourselves freely, but respectfully,
when say that must look to their coun-
try, and not TO themselves; or, rather, that they
should only study their own interests by promoting
those OF their country If any absurd insane ambition
to gel into the White Housethe most responsible, the
heavy, but least envabe post in the world fuller
of cares than it is of honors-should prompt any
democrat to neglect his duty to descend to little cabas
and ntrgues to indulge in mschievous jealousy towards
others, idly to suspect them of opposing his pre-
TENSIONS he ought that this is not the way to graft
fly his wishes Democrats must all this plain
y, that they will dsappoint the calculations of the
wings. Those who may be infatuated enough to sigh for
the highest Office in the republic yet young enough
wait the will of the people They may be gratifed if
they deserve it. II they cannot win the honor now they
may succeed hereafter By their disnterestedness they
will the gratitude of the people now, and perhaps
their surages hereafter Thus personal interest may
harmonic with the most exalted public spirit.
For ourselves, (if our course is worth one moments
consderation) beg leave to say that we shall COM
the abors of arduous session with the strongest
disposition to promote the good OF the countryto keep
our great party uned-to heal, to WIDEN any little
breach among them-and to sacrifice any "privae grief
of which men who do not know may please to sus-
pect us, the altar of the democratic party
