obliging pro tem., G. ii. ALLEN, we have
not until this issue resumed our post rs
Editor. Our trip was one of pleasure and
business combined. We travelled, though
very hurriedly, over several of the Northern
and North Western Statcs-spcnt the lar
ger portion of our time in Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. We made some sketches,
one of Which we mailed for publication
from Niagara Falls. 1t did not come to
hand; perhaps it has found its way to the
Dead Letter Office. We have, however, n

have leisure, and can find nothing more
interesting with which TO fill our columns,

We should lavo preferred that the Presi-
dent had not called the Extra Session. lie
could, without the authority of Congress,
have taken the money from the Treasury
to support the army and his cabinet, and
the country would have sustained him.
This course would have placed the refractory
and disorganizing Republican party in its
true light before the country.
The great truth, that this party, eft only
for treason and spoils," was tanning tho
flames of scctionalism and rolling high the
tide Of disunion, would have thundered in
the ears Of the Northern masses, and made
them sensible to the great and dangerous
consequences resulting from tho needless
fanaticism of their leaders, and driven
thousands from the ranks Of the party
Let the odium Of Withholding the necessary
| supplies Of the Government, have attached
to the party. Let it have gone home to
the people that Black Republlcanism is dis
unionism. Let them have been convinced
that the partizan principles and proclivities
Of their leaders, led inevitably to disunion.
With these facts demonstrated, many of
the rejecting and more conservative of that
party, would have abandoned it and hoistcd
the flag Of either FILLMORE or BucnAxAx,
and thus the consequences of their ini1uity
would have been visited on their own
heads.
We arc unable to prognosticatc the end
of the Session. The House seems deter
mined to adhere to their amendment, Will,
the Senate is equally fixed in their deter.
mination to reject it. So the Session may
continue for weeks, and adjourn without
reconciliation.
