The responsibility OF the delay in the or
ganizatiOn Of the House Of Representatives,
rests entirely with some ten or a dozen
dough. faced members Of Congress, residing
in New York, Pennsylvania, and several
other States, who were elected rs an,i-Ne'

the outrageous repeal OF the Missouri Com
promise, but acting with the Southern K
MS, they express their willingness 10
receive Kansas as Slave State, II, by any
means, Slavery constitution is imposed
upon the settlers. Thus practically endors-
ing the Kansas bill, we can see no reason
why they should no, vote for Richardson,
who was put forward on the strength Of his
having engineered the bill through Con-
gress. Having gone as far as they have in
constructive treason to the constituency
which elected them, we expect tina, they
will finally lead in The democratic camp
Had not the democratic party adopted strong
resolves agains, the American party, they
would probably have been found there days
ago. We trust that the friends OF Mr..
Banks will stand by him to the last, and il
q Suing'ellow and Aichison Speaker is
elected, let these men bear, as they must,
the responsibility.
