House Resolution insiructing Representatives
and Senators in Congress relative to the in
tervention Of Russia in the affairs of Hun
gary.
Resolved, That we instruct our Represents.
tiVess and request our Senators in Congress, 10
make all reasonable exertions to authorize the
President 10 enter into formal and punctiii-
Gus protest. against an alliance or Intervention
Of the authorities Of Russia with the govern
nnent Of Austria. to subjugate the patriotic ris.
iug Of the people Of Hungary to her servile
dominion.
The above resolution vas offered in the
House Of Representatives short time since.
II is 4 curiosity in several respects The idea
OF fnstructing' Representatives is a new one
and evinces that Democracy is still progress
i've. To us outsiders i looks slightly ridicu-
lous to be instracting our Congressman. Il
has been thought proper sometimes TO instruct
Senators but this takes leap in advance, asa
instrucss Representatives,.
Again. the idea Of authorizing the President
toprotest against Russian interference is novel
The question might be asked, has not the
Presiden. the authority TO protest, if be sees
proper, already; and again, it might be asked
where Congress has got its authority to 'au-
ihoFizs' any such STEP
That punctilions' protest is another novelty
Has the maker Of this resolution dictionary i?
The word Is thrown in for rhetorical effect, but
il strikes as as slightly out Of place.
TO suhjugate the patriotic rising Of the
people, is also new idea Taken altogether,
ih;sresolution is gem, and will immortalize
the man who conceived it and laid il before
the body to which be belongs
