Refusing the Supplies.


The refusal of the Black Republican major
ity in Congress to grant the necessary appro-
priation for the support of the Army, and the
forts, arsenals and other defences of the Nation
is revolutionary in the extreme, and goes
TO show what Black Republicanism is and what
1t will do. This is the first time in our his
tory Nation, that Congress has adjourned
without voting means necessary to carry on
the machinery of fgovernment. Every sensible
man can see at glance the object of these Black
Republicans, in Withholding the means neces-
sary to enable the President to keep in check
the bands of lawless men, North and South,
who have created all the disturbances in Kan
sas. They hope by compelling the Govern
ment to withdraw the troops stationed there,
to give up Kansas to the fanatics and desper
ADDE'S who have been making the mischief,
and then throw the blame of any outrages
that may be committed on the Administra-
ton and the Democatic party. Yes. they are
willing to lock up aud prevent its circulation
among the people of fifteen millions of the
public treasure, and bring ruin and distress up
on thousands OF laborng men and mechanics,
and upon the country generally, if so be they
can elect their disunion candidate to the Pres
idencyl But the game has bean blocked by
the frmness and patriotism OF the President
and the people will still farther set the seal of
their disapp-obation upon such conduct on
the 4th of November next
The Daily Nc,cs has the following strong
language in reference to this infamous proceed
ing of the Black Republican majority in
Congress:
This revolutionary proceeding cannot fail
to attract the attention of the entire nation
and to demonstrate TO the American people
how wild and impracticable how violent and
terrible this new or organization is. and how

gance preached in its partisan sheets On
the stump; in tue pulpit, through the news
papers. it labors to excite State against State
and to array section against section, to divide
our people into hostile camps, and 10 draw a
line across the face of our common couB'ry
