Congress-.

The House of Representatives is still
unorganized-itit is still ina chaotic state
and, we think, will remain in this inter
esting condition for some time yet, if not
longer.
They are divided into three parties
the Locofocos, straight out Americans, and
Republicans, none of whom manifest any
disposition to yield an inch to their oppo-
nents.
They have been wrangling so long that
the different parties are at swords points.
and we are of opinion that neither OF the
candidates now before the House can be
elected they must select some new man
upon whom some two of the parties can
unite, or else adopt the plurality rule,
which would elect Mr. Banks.

pxEsrDEyT,s sruss

We this week give our readers the mes
sage of President Pierce. The House
not having been organized, the President,
through his Secretary, insisted upon
having his speech read before the Senate,
such an Innovation upon
the time honored usages of this govern
ment is withouta a precedent.
1t is an extraordinary document, and
we think our readers, after perusing the
latter part of it, will not be at loss to
account for the great anxiety Of Mr. Pierce
to have it before the people at the earliest
moment possible. Conventions for the
selection of delegates to national Con-
venion are soon to be held in several Of
the States, and it was important that his
disquisi;ion on the Constitutional Rela-
tions of Slavery" should go before the
people before the meeting of these Con-
ventions, that the faithful might know to
what extent he had sold the party to the
South; that they might construct their
several platforms in accordance with the
bargain, and also that any fears that have
arisen in the minds of his Southern mas
ters in regard to his fidelity to the in
lerests oft Slave power might be allay-
ed.
In his effort to conciliate Southern fa-
vor and obtain Southern votes, he has
gone beyond the bounds OF decency, and
introduced matter into his message which
is, in our judgement, wholly out of place
in the annual message of the Chief magis-
trate of a great Republic the head of a
nation and not of sectional party. is
insulting to every citizen of the North.
and we think will disgust every right
thinking American, even those whom it
was intended TO hatter, and for whose
votes Frank Pierce, the President of the
United States las condescended to Lsd.
We have not room this week to say
more in regard to this electioneering
speech, but We ask every citizen of this
county to read it carefully-especially do
we ask those who still adhere to the ad-
ministration of Pierce and his party, to
give i, careful perusal. If their cheeks
do not burn with shame and their breasts
heave with Indignation at the disgrace
full and humiliating spectacle which is
here presented, we will confess that we
do not understand the American charac-
ter.
