The Disgraceful Night Session.

Hon Gerritt Smith, in long letter to his :
stituents, compares the night session of Congress
at which the Nebraska Bill was passed. to a scene
in a dram shop. He speaks Of it with unaffected
notification:
As the friend Of temperance, both my lips and
example shall testify against any night session
of Congress. that is not called for by the clearest
necessity. What if the majority had appointed

the scenes of night session of Congress do no.

the chastisement recently visited upon the party

This result is not unexpected. nor have we
any crocodile tears to shed over it. The leaders

the people foored them for their iniquity.-
Whenever our party is right, we ready to take

upon great wrong and corrupt leaders seek to
