s# H%s Congress.
Ten days hive passed by since the meeting of
Congress-, and up our last advices there had been
no organization Of the House. The loco focos seem
TO have Withdrawn their caucus candidate, Mr. Cobb,
and after trying Potter OF Ohio, and Brown Of Indi-
ana, they at last dates voting heller skeltcr
for any body and every body, but Wings. On the
ether hand Wings have thus far adhered to their
nominee, Mr. winthrop, in most creditable and
consistent manner. Their rmness elicits applause,
even from their opponents. What will be the result
Of this important congressional battle-whether it
will pay for the powder-no one can tell. There
10 some prospect that this state of things may
tinue long enough to give T. Butler King chance
20 reach his seat in to join in the contest
He may have come in the Crescent City, which ar
rived few days since. In the meantime, were an
other trial made in the fourth district in Massachu
sets, with such scandidate Edward Everett, the
Wings might have another member andthus secure
majority, although the impracticables might even
then defeat them.
The expense OF this delay will be enormous. It
cannot be less than $4,000 day, including the Sem
ate. n NO better prospect soon presents itself of
IN organzation than has been exhibited for the last
ten or eleven days, the sooner Congress adjourns,
the better. Fit still appears impossible to organ.
Ire, and if the right spirit pervaded the whole body,
they would not only adjourn, but every man would
resign, and throw the responsibility of regulating
the representative branch of the government back
to the people, SO that they might arrange the bus-
ness in such manner as to secure its performing
its constitutional functions, instead of blocking up
the wheels Of government as it has done for nearly
fortnight.
One thing encourages US to believe that the House
may organise before long. No army, however pa
triotic and well disciplined, hold out always
without regular supplies. Members can't board in
Washington for nothing. To pay their board and
other bius, members will need their per diem; this
they can't get without an organization. This
motive, if no other, will force them to organize.

tined to reyolutionize the world, and bring
back the peace and blessedness of its youth.
full days these things absorb the attention
they enchant the mind of the believer In
abstract Progression. who has never dreamed
that there is more concealed within a revolu.
ton than is seen upon its surface. For they
come from far off lands. Riding majestical-
ly over the crested pillows, they seem to
point him to a fairy land tseming with the
fruits Of a system built upon The ideas Of
4" Liberty, Fraternity, Equality" where So
ciety, by one bold leap, has sprung clear
from the Indebtedness and curses which
have been accommodating for six thousand
years; and has gained that eminence to
which, in the ordinary course Of events, we
have been hoping to obtain after long years
of unremitling watchfulness and toll.
"They say that in the physical world the
magnetic influence is SO dilfused, that its vi
braiions are discerned simultaneously in eve-
ry part Of the globe. So it is with the ele-
ment of freedom" If our authors reason
ing is correct-and I am not disposed to
assign any reason why it is not-have not
those who regard the institution of slavery
as the "corner stone Of the Union" much
more reason TO fear and tremble than 10 re-.
ioice over the downfall of the rotten dynas-
ties of the Old World For strong hands
are at work against the institution with a
zeal which will know no abatement until
there is nothing but its fragments left TO tell
the mournful story Of its former existence
What would be more startling 10 the ears Of
a portion of the American people, than to hear
the wild, glad shout Of Liberty, Fraternity,
Equality" echoing and re-echoing through
out the length and breadth of the slavehoid-
ing States?
A response would at once go forth from
the lannon's mouth and the green earth
would become red with human blood. Free.
dom is certainly a subtle element. Surround
ed by circumstances unfavorable for its de.
velopement, it may lie apparently inert for
years. But when the causes of its inerlness
are removed, or its vitality is menaced, it is
found TO be a d" thing Of lile,'' strong enough
TO g turn and overturn " human governments
until they become what they ought to be-
guarantees for the possession and enjoyment
of human rights to all people.
