NtS ORGANIZATION YET.
According 70 fite latest dates from Washington, the
House ii still remains unorganiaed
with little prospect Of an organization except that
which IL founded upon the principle of exhaustion.
When members become completely worn down with
tile proIacted and struggle, an organiza-
on viii be effected; and We hope to the confusion Of
the Aholtionists, upon q basis Of compromise among
tile national men from al parties and all sections,
which will secure the election Of Speaker in whose
capacity, integrity and patrotsm the whole country
can repose confidence. {s. s3S
For our part we shall be well satisfied if such q re-
suit is achieved no matter if gentleman of opposite
politics is chosen. We are weary Of the discredltable
contest that has been going on 50 long 70 places s
in a humiatng attitude before the world and gives
the enemies Of republican governments m oppoof.
tunty to sneer at our boosted institutions Already
across water biting comments have been
in by the public press theWorst Of which ae
in some degree true and therefore carry VIII thei
more than ordinary severity By every manner "
means let the national members of the House, with
out regard to party gnatos, enter into some az
4 ranpement and place reliable man IN the char.
As. however, especially in the South, the dominant
party has SO strenuously urged that Mr. Ichardsoh

PLY remarks that If the power thus exists under
the Constitution to exclude slavery, Northern men,
who believe slavery a wrong, but do right in exclu
ding it by Wimot Provisos. In granting the power,
Mr. Richardson sanctions all Northern action. Never
theess, if the cliyary are satisfied with him. it is
none Of our business though if the South has no
other protection for slavery than tile worlds sense Of
right and wrong there is but sorry chance for it
under the Constitution and its compacts The above
comment is very true; and the question very natal
rally arises are the Southern Congressman who have
voted for Mr. R. from frstto last, prepared to adyo-
cate the principle before their constituents that Con
gress possesses the o,cer to exclude
slacery from the territories belonging to the common
Union of States The justice of the thing has
nothing to do with the matter. Has Congress the
constitutional power? Mr.. Richardson alleges Con
gress although he would not exercise that power
believing t5Would be unjust to do 50. But large
portion of his party at the North do not agree with
him in opinion hence his reservations valueless
