THE CRISIS AND TIE PEOPLE.

As the of the revolution in the Capitol spreads
through the land the voice of the people up stronger
and louder against the and the traitors No one
who believes the people honest could have had any doubt
Of their in such crisis upon the country
The fanatics whose madness has brought the present
amy win discover to their SORROW that though
to wrath the American people viii tolerate
in their midst They had best look to 1t while there is yet
time for retreat In little while concessions will be use
ess-the popular wrath turned loose tell the
consequences. The Cleveland Plaindealer says:
AS dernier resort to rule or ruin the country the
hgheraw band Of the House hare refused to grant the
annual appropriation for the army-at time too when
England flooding Canada with troops and threatening
IN 0.ner I our @ IN
when open and organized rebellion exists In Of the
States and also In two Of the Territories II at such
time and when at the heel of long and useless session OF
Congress the former appropriations being entirely
hausted that coercion sought to carry measures incon
siderate, unconstitutional, and revolutionary True TO
their oahs and TO the country the Senate have passed all
the annual appropriation bills in the usual FORM striking
all acous provsoes aimed at the subugaton Of other
departments OF the government
The President Ia bound by his oath to the laws
faithfully executed For this purpose he Is empowered by
the constitution to call to his aid the army and navy
commandernchef This aid Is sought TO be wrested from
him by the House II Is clear uspdtion OF constitutional
right and IL submitted TO pH put end 10 the government
II such House Is the Senate control the Erecu
tive and command the army and navy, revolution and
drehy 10 TO be the order Of the day
The Buffalo Advertiser not less decided in It's condem-
nation
bare majority Of the House Of Representatives Ia
gagged in attempto usurp and concenraten elfa the
constitution did the legislative power Of the
try in either branch Of Congress TO the exclusion OF the
other but made the Senate and the House coordinate and
coequa and required that all laws shall be the result Of
theiF cnnr artfp Ever xrne theV artu
which they pass must receive the approval Of the Executive
before they become laws the President withhods his
signature requires twohrds Of both houses to pass
act over bis veto.
But what do we now sect The two houses insisting
that the preference Of majority Of each shall have
the force Of law In opposition TO the Executive Much
than that for although tho constitution in such
requires twothrds 1t would surely approach
to lie requirements for simple majority Of both houses to
claim supreme legislative power than for bare majority
now The Executive, the Senate and within one or TWO
individuals Of half Of the House OF Representatives Of
one way Of thinking; one or two individuals than
this bsckrepubcan half Of the House Of Representative
claim for their win the poenaliy Of law and aim TO
nihste all power opposed IL and rather than not sue
Ceed would annibilate the government itself" "a !.
The New York Commercial Advertiser contains para
graph which We commend TO the consideration Of the
working men in every portion Of the country;
Some consideration should be shown by the republican
members Of the House for the Of working and
their families ut home well as for the men who relying
on their resources by aid Of the emgant associa
tons, have migrated into distant Territory; and the
House acting this feeling, while yet paying regard TO
their own convictions Of the rights Of the people Of the Ter
ritory in question, should seek some other mode Of
meeting those convictions than that Of dsbandng the army
Of the United Saes and throwing hundreds and thousands
OF steady industrious at the North and East out Of
employment
The Barnstabe Patriot says
at In effect waiting the army h.
cut Of the army be dsbsnded and the persons engaged
Its service lie employment and its contracts be refused
their claims for honest dnes II violates the rights Of In
dviduss and wrongs them insults the Amercan peo-
pie II dshonos and dsgraces our nation abroad II opens
the whole country OF Kansas 10 civil war where right
shall be decided by might and II takes away troops
