Exciting News from Washington
THE REIGN OF TERROR COMMEEcEDf
AN EXTRA SESSION CALLED.

AN EXTRA SESSION CALLED.
The madness of Black Republicanism has set
in motion the ball Of Revolution! The wheels
of Government, for the first time, have been
stepped, by the daring, unconstitutional and rev
olutionary attempt efa fanatical and accidental
majority in the house, to coerce coordinate
branches Of the government, the Senate and
Executive, into their mad schemes. Every ef
fort of these freebooters to overslough the Con-
stitution and annul the laws of the land, has
been met with coolness and calmness by the
Senate, and voted down by a three-fOurths vote
of the States.
As a denier resort to rule or ruin the country,
the Higher Law banditti Of the House have re-
fused to grant the annual appropriation for tho
Army; at time too when England is flooding
Canada with troops, and threatening us in other
quarters; when our whole military force is in
active service on the Pacific coast and on our
Indian frontier, when open end organized re-
bellion exists in one of the States and also in
two of the Territories; it is at such time, and
when at the heel of long and useless session
of Congress, the former appropriations being
entirely exhausted, that coercion is sought to
carry measures inconsiderate, unconstitutional
and revolutionary! True to their oaths and to
the country the Senate have passed all the an
nual appropriation bills in the usual form, stri-
king out all factious provisos aimed at the subju-
cation of other departments of the Govern
ment.
The President is bound by his oath to see the
laws faithfully executed. For this purpose he
is empowered by the Constitution to call to his
aid the army and navy, as Commander in Chief
This aid is sought to be wrested from him by
the House. Itisa clear u8uppatton of a C0,asti-
tttional right and if submitted to, actU put an
end to the Government II such q House is to CO.
cree the Senate control the Executive and COM
mand the Army and Navy, revolution and onar-
chg is to be the order of the day. And all this
for what? Simply to make John G. Fremont,
President, Mariposa stock good, VIM. H. Sc
ward, Governmental Premier, Horace Greeley,
f G overmental Printer, and John p Hale, Attor-
: ncy General. If this great and patriotic object
cannot be accomplished by fair it must be by foul
means.
"Better reign in He'll
Than serve in Heaver."
is tie motto of these desperadoes.
The President, faithful to his trust, has done
all the Constitution requires him to do in such
: or isis. He has issued his proclamation for an
extra session Here it is:
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, Hostities exist with various In
dian tribes on the remote frontiers of the Uni

Il power to perform his duty in relation to the
