CONGRESS-.

The Republicans in Congress are rtpusing on
their laurels, since their GLORIOUS victory. in the
election Of Banks. We don't undersalue the vic.
tory. 1t was a sight to look upon in this degen-
crate Republic to see ninety men stand up TN
Ainchingly, unterriGed and unbribed, for Il princi'
pie Of freedom. But since then as it seems 20 US
they have sullied their victory by placating the foes
offrccdom. All but some half dozen or so of Repub-
lican votes were cast for Cullum, FOR Clerk. They
say he is an Anti Nebraska man-that he voted
against the Douglas bill. and lost his election in
Tennessee because he did so. What of that? lie
can be no friend of liberty, for he is said to be Il
duelist. n twelfth section knOw-nOthing, and II
slave holder. Republicans can't hope to divorce
the government from slavery by electing such men
-slaveholders to Office. They do not expect to do
it. Very likely they do expect by this sort of lib
crafty as Mr.. Cullum would doubtless call it, to
so c%onciliate the Americans that some of them will
help to put Rceder into his seat, and cooperate in
the next presidential cam2aign. Thei motives
are probably good but the policy will kill Rcpubli-
canism stone dead.
The Republicans have not yet elected their can
didatc for printer and nothing has yet been done
in the Recder case or the Kansas question. If
they can do anything we pray then, in Heavens
name not to delay, especially while Pierce is fore
Sailing them by his messages and proclaihations.
Mr.. Speaker Banks has been busy in organizing
his committees, though they have not yet been an
So much for the Republican side Of the
House.
On the other side the pro-slavery men are re-
markaJle for their quiet and docility. They have
not moved a finger for the performance of the in
teresting part they Gdvcttiscd themselves to play,
after the election of Banks. In that
contingency, the issolution of the Union was to
come off, as the attendant and consequence. But
weeks have passed. the Union is safe yet, and
there has been no occasion for the intervention Of
a solitary Union SAVIOR. Those professional gem
tlemen seem utterly out Of business. The gu lie Of
the Shareholders after this, their first Congressional
defeat, and after Ill their previous buster, is a
evidence that if the North would m~anfully
the Shareholders at their word-square them
selves firmly before them, and demand their accep-
lance of one Of two propositions, either the disso-
luton of the Union or the abolition of slavery
they would make a virtue of necessity and accept
the latter as gracefully as Mr.. Aiken conducted his
rival 10 the speakers chair. Oh! for
irmness and manhood in asserting justice and in
indicating the principles of freedom, in stead of
he truck and dicker of political management,
which now curses cur Government and is the bane
If liberty. L
