The Disorganizers and the Democratic
Press.

FfeS6s itszH-
We extract the following paragraph from
the Baltimore Sun, DEMOCRATIC journal
which, by implication, condemns very point
eddy the conduct of the Obstructionists and
Disorganizers The Sun is not the only. De
MocRATIc journal that has opened it's batteries
upon those gentlemen, and we hope the fire
will be kept up till they are so battered and
riddled that they will become objects of mere
pity to their constituents.
By nothing that we have said on this sub
ject would we be understood as charging the
DEMO CRATIC party universally with the in
tention of obstructing and defeating the public
business. But we hold the DEMOCRATIC party
responsible, as it ought to be, for the conduct
OF its individual members. The men who
were engaged in the disreputable scenes of last
Friday in the House of Representatives were
all DEMOCRATS. There was not a Wine
among them. We are well aware that their
conduct is as strongly condemned by a ma
jority of their own party as it is by the
WINGS. 1t is perfectly we'll understood on
both sides of the House how much capa-
city is requisite to make a motion for ad-
journment for the sake of killing time. The
intellectual calibre of the men who engage in
this kind of enterprise is very justly estimated
oil round. But being Democrats, these adj
lournment-movers, and the DEMOCRATS hav-
ing majority of fifty at least in the House,
there is no unfairness in charging upon the
DEMocR4rIc party the abuses practiced by its
members. 1t is the DEMOCRATIC party, then,
that obstructs public business. 1t is the De-
MocRATIc party that wastes the public time.
1t is the DEMocRAr1c party that uselessly
wastes the public money by paying themselves
day after day eight dollars each for sitting and
answering to their names on call Of the yeas
and nays on motions to adjourn.
Is not it monstrous2 Will the American
people continue to think it worth while to pay
men eight dollars or eight shillings a day for
such workas this? Can any thing be conceived
more utterly preposterous than for two or three
hundred grown men to get together every day,
pass three or four hours in saying yes and no on
the question of staying where they are, and to
call such disreputable idleness the process Of
legislations
We are glad to see that the, press Of the
Country is waking up to the folly and wicked

very presence, and in the hearing of this debate,
the men who have traversed more than one prac-
hcable route, and emigrants are annually passing
upon them BY thousands. You are told Gifts great
length, which it is known will not exceed two
thousand miles. What are two thousand miles of
railroad to be made by the whole people of the
United States, when, through the action Of States
and citizens alone, twelve thousand miles have
already been constructed? The railroads of New
York alone, if stretched out in one Continuous
chain, would reach distance two. thirds az great

You are told that you cannot connect the Missis.
sippi and San Francisco through space of two
thousand miles, in the face of the facts that the
railroads already made within the nted States
if extended in one continuous chain, would cover
distance great as that which divides Liver.

now constructing, would be sufficient to enrich
the globe.
You are admonished of the cost of such an enter.

unconscious of the expense. The city of New York
alone expended fifteen millions to supply herself

expended nearly hundred millions in the con-
struction of canals and ralr pads, and has grown
and prospered all the time, as no other State has
ever grown and prospered on earth. The hundred
millions which the railroad would cost even if no
portion of it should ever be directly reimbursed,
would be indirectly replaced within ten years by
