the question Of peace or war 70 our very doors-not
peace with foreign nation, or war among
citizens among acquaintance friends, and kindred
In such crisis the voice Of the people ofeyery section
should be heard for every citizen has equal interests at
stake on the result SO far have endeayored candidy
and fairly the Of the ISSUE and the position
Of parties thereon We have also endearored to give the
voice Of the people from all quarters the important
topic To-day we continue the extracts from ex-
changes
The New York News says:
aAth crisis we appeal to the patriotism Of the whole
country support the President against these dsorgan
izers He has performed his duty well in this emergency
and entitled 10 the appreciation and support the whole
people The army is political body. Its officers gain
and retain their rank without the most remote reference 10
their political predictions We need only alude 10 the
fact that the eminent who is in command as lieu
under the President his opponent AT
the last presidential election If he now Chief Mag
srae he would do just the President has done and the
democratic party would give him unanimous support
Will the great OF those who vecd four years ago for
General Scott sanction the disarmament OF the army
TO accomplish the ends OF sectional conspiratorsY We
cannot believe that the poison has been SO fatally and
widely infused among the of the people until the
complete expression Of the popular viii is heard"
The Detroit Free Press says
This extraordinary exercise OF power--his unmixed
usurpaton by the blaekepublcan majority of house
of Conrress-s but an example what would be the char
acer OF an entire black-repubican administration IT,
now, constitutional and moral obligations are SO utterly
disregardedf usurpation and revolution the resorts
OF majority Of branch Of Congressof what force
would be constitutional and moral obligations with the
party of such resorts with the whole power of the country
in its hands,
We cannot predict what will be the conduct of the
House the session The extra session itself under
the circumstances of its convocaon is unprecedented
There has been such condition of affairs before
But whatever the conduct of the Houseeven though in
abject fear of popular reibution the backrepubcan
jorty shall abandon their revolutionary poston--the
of the last days of the session just closed have fully
disclosed the certain tendencies of Abotonsm.H
The Trenton Daily True American says;
aTbe message addressed by President Pierce to the
ira session Of Congress will be found in another part of
days issue. II is plain matteroact paper, and pre-
sens for the passage of the appropriation
bill which irresistible. The opposition cannot
themselves behind the peence that the proviso which they
have added to this bill either necessary proper They
themselves called upon the President and
again. send troops 10 Kansas for the protection Of the
and property of the people there they have reproach
ed him for sending those troops there at time when
it improper for him to do and that those
troops there and have done good service in controlling
angry spirits of the faconsts both sides it is most
unreasonable demand what is equivalent 10 their with
rawa that they should not be used for the support of the
laws Of the Territory they not there for this den
teal purpose they be constituionaAy there at all
We hope that the sober second thought win prevail
the minds of those misguided who deem the success
Of party all other considerations pre-
vent them from insisting upon the provso to the appropr
alton BILL which inevitably lead to its defeat and
those terrible consequences depicted in the Pres
dents message should be necessary TO dsband the army

The St Louis Republican says:
The House refused to recede from its position and the
army bill failed This ctious spirit the part of the
black republicans Of the House has compelled the President
call extra sessonnot for the purpose Of engaging
in business of general character but TO provide for the
support Of the army and the OF the debts contract
ed by its officers and agents Even before the members had
dispersed the proclamation summonng them TO meet again

the government by cutting of the supplies for the army
may refuse attend but II they do, while it viii show the
designs of that party il viii also show
the people the crisis to which they have arrived They
must be prepared meet that crisis The House If the
black republicans shall persist In their amendments viii
maintain its position As for the Senate under the cir
cumstances IL shall recsde from its position it will be dis
graced forever In opinion they ought not TO give
particle They right and the revouonsts wrong
and the Senate should again FIX day Of adjourn
until the House agrees 10 pass this bill in the only
way in which il ought to pass-without any restriction
whatever"
| The Erie (PA) Observer says:
"The Ceveendcr an independent paper with whig pro-
eli ,ies remarks that when the fog OF the present
paign shall have been dspsed and people again reason
here win be found intelligent in the Union who
win express surprise and indignation at the recent
handed action Of majority Of the members Of the
House Representatives in regard the approprs
ton bill and who will not heartily endorse the action OF
the President In calling extra session Of Congress TO
provide for the neglect occasoned by partisan clique
fscousy working TO advance party instead OF national
inierests'
The St Louis Leader says
HThe very important and somewhat startling news Is
sent over the from New York that the President
called extra session Of the two houses open the
2lst August--three days after the adjournment The
assigned is that Congress adjourned without pro-
vding for the supplies for the army and that at the
when have Indian wars and domestic rebellion
upon our hands IL Is needless remind readers
this is due TO The arocous dsoyslty Of the
so-called republican party
The Sandusky (obio) Democratic yindicator says;
HThe President has been left without The means Of pro-
vding for the public defence The army be disband-
ed or the soldiers without pay In this condition
things no other s le for the Executive but 70 call
an session 10 meet within three days from the time Of
adjourning Unfortunately the President has
the same Congress composed OF the traitors fanatics
and revolutoniss In feared they may adhere their
reasonable designs 10 stop the wheels Of government but
one thing is certaina day Of retrbuton at hand when
these men win receive their reward
