he Public Judgment.

II the mad career of sectionalism in
re House of Repres ,ntatives. The fol-
lowing from the Boston Post, expresses
the sentiment of the popular mind on the
extraordinary proposition to withhold sup
plies:
The Black Republican members of Con-
gress refuse to vote money to pay the army,
In order that the Government troops which
cleared Kansas from illegal invaders-Mis-
sourians and Aboliiionists-May be with
drawn, and the Territory given up to civil
war! This is the evidence Of their regard
for law and order, for FREEDOM. The for
ces under Col. Sumner have restored or
der, enforced law, protected the peaceably
disposed citizen-driven away armed ban
ditti, and exercised power that, by the
last accounts, was manitesting its bench
cial influence in the quiet aud industry of
the population. Nearly the whole people
'" Territory were engaged IN the pur-
II profitable employment, and the
osperity flowing from the cessation of
contention was being manifested in all
quarters. Yet the peculiar friends of
Kansas would reverse all this--remove all
competent restraint upon the lawless, and
introduce anew the acrimony and deadly
strife which SO lately marked the course of
events on the Missouri border They are
like the Rev. Mr.. IIigginson, who almost
hoped to hear of the sacrifice of the lives of
his fellow citizens to arouse the Eastern
States.
The removal of the troops is just what
the Missouri invaders desire and have ask
ed for, and the Black Republican members
of the House of Representatives unite with
them in endeavoring to effect that end
This is the consistencyof hypocritical dem
agogues who are willing to see the lives Of
those sacrificed to whom they pretend to
be friendly, i'll order to make political CAPT
tai to aid their selfish ambition and parti-
san purposes.
A writer in the National hsteHigencer, a
few days ago, made the following forcible
comments on the new movement of the Re-
mblicans:

Blu, have those who talk so fippanly Of
defeating the appropriation bill ever reflect
ed on the consequences Of such an ultra
and unjustifiable proceeding? If It is ov-
er successfully attempted in this country
1t is to be hoped the Executive, whoever
he may be, when it takes place, will allow
the consequences to follow to the bitter end
without any attempt to check or paIlatc
them. Let him pay off and lay up every
ship-of-war. disband the army, stop every
public work, close every navy ward and
public armory, discontinue the purchase of
provisions, clothing, arms and accoutre-
ments. stores and supplies of every kind,
either for the military. naval, or civil SER
vice, and allow the gold To accumulate in
the sub-treasury.
AIRY one at all acquainted with the course
Of trade and business, both commercial and
financial, of the nation, may form some
idea of the result upon the community,
without any distinction as to station, pro-
fcssion or trade. The mere accumulation
of coin in the sub treasury, without any
corresponding disbursements, would in
less than three months, break every bank
between Washington and Eastport, but not
before those institutions in efforts to save
themselves bv rapid curtailments had spread
ruin and bankruptcy throughout the fnan-
cial and commercial community. Underthe
pressure and general distress which would
ensue, the immense mass Of stocks Of eve
ry description that is held in the country
would be deprecated to the extent of 5000
100000, or $4,000, 900. Real estate
would decline to still further extent, and
all species of both foreign and domestic
productions would suffer in like form to a
greater or less extent
No men or set OF men, or party, howev-
er numerous, who would assume the re-
sponsibility. could stand before such an
outbreak of indignation as would follow
under such circumstances. butthev would
be crushed out of political existence, with
out the remotest hope Of fever again resus-
cita,ing. If such an experiment is ever
tried in this country, it will never be re-
peated, under the felrful results that would
follow to the authors. abettors, or aders of
the measure. We already have sufficient
trouble on hand. without adding such
load as this would be to the burden.
A Truly Sad Affair
