DAILY NATIONAL ERA.


in every conflict where we measured arms with
them.
The floor Of Congress is another section Of
the field OF conflict There the cause Of Mex
leo is maintained with zeal and ability; there
tina supplies of men and money are attempted
to DO withheld there, the sympathies of Fed
eralism are invoked in their behalf; there, the
war Is branded with every abusive epithet and
the President of our country, who has 80 sue
oeastnlly yindicated its honor by hie len, and
before whose vigorous arm the invading enemy
has fled into his strongholds, is denounced as
a bloody tyrant and murderer. The halls of
State Legislation, also, so far as Massachusetts
end North Carolina are concerned, exhibit
similar acenes; there the MEXICAN cause has tn
umphed. We confess the disgraceiul fact
I" In the Senate of the United States, on yes
ten day, the Mexieans achieves another victory
The bill for organizing ten regiments of regu-
lar troops having been submitted, with is
amendments, to committee Of conference cf
the two Houses, that cnmnittee unanimously
agreed on a report which was submitted to
them for their approval The House of Repre-
sentatvcs at once adopted the report by very
large majority In tho Senate, it waa, in its
most important feature rejected by majority
IT six. When tho result was ascertained, u dis
tingnished Senator from Georgia exhibited the
most marked tokens of exultation IL ID the
same Senator who urges withdrawal of our
army from tho Mexican territory.
IL Santa Anna Ampndia, or any other Mex
loan General, coEid snatch from our soldiers d
corresponding victory, We should place them
upon the same elevation where their compatri-
orr friends, and lellow-solders, in the Senate Of
tho United States now stand.
As the friends of the United States have OH
ths occasion sustained defeat, and the Pres-
dent been deprived Of ten thousand regulars, !
should earnestly advise him to throw himself
into the hands Of the people, invoke their love
Of country, call out the remainder Of the volnn-
teeis and inevitable SUCCESS will attend him.
GAS for the public will in this country, it
points to a war to the knife, if necessary, ample
indemnity in tho enemy's territory, and no more
We want PREPARATION for the past and security
for the future; and we will have them.

So, Mr. Richie and the other editors of tho
Union were excluded from tho privilege Of ad
mission to the floor of the Senate
The record shows that it is the habit Of the
Union newspaper, to abuse members Of Con-
gress; to attempt to play the part of overseer
over them; to assail them rudely and often
sively, when their acts or words displease it
and Mt times to indulge in assaults 30 scandal
ous and inhammatory, as to be deemed viola
tive of the rights of Senators and Represent
atives
We shall not be suspected of supcrhuous
respect for Congress. Any attempt to extend
i'o piivtCEco % ~ w oNofaWO sno uDnC TcrS,
or restrict the boldest and most thorough dis
cussion, and denunciation, too, when deserved,
of its acts, we would resist to tho utmost. But
us Congress has no right to encroach upon the
liberty Of the Press. 50 the Press has no right
to attempt to restrict the freedom of debate in
Cong, ess, by arousing tho passions of the mob
against any Of its members. To do so, is o
breach Of the privileges Of Congress, an insult
to the constituencies Of those members, and
the editor guilty Of it deserves to be deprived
of tho courtesies usually accorded by both
Houses to the Press.
