Where are our X. N. Members

Since the commencement of the extra session of
Congress- not one of the three X. n. members from
North Carolina has been in his seat. We learn that
the Hon. K. L. Paine is detained at home by sick
ness If this be So of course he is excusable But
where are Messrs. Reade and Paryear? There is
now a crisis in Congress without parallel, and
every patriot should be at his post. Especially
should every Southern member be present, ready to
do battle for the constitution and the Union. The
Northern horde of abotonists, with their Speaker,
Banks, at their head, are endeavorlns to clog the
wheels of the government and compel the admins
traton to bow to their base designs In the breach
in the hot encounter-we find CIingman, Craige,
Branch, Ruffn and Wnslow; but where are Reade
and Puryear?
These are significant questions, and the const!tu-
ents Of these gentlemen should hold them to rigid
account. We may be able to contend successfully
with foreign foe; 5ut ace should CAREFULLY guard
against traitors at home. We mean what we say
we use no idle words. Our information is that Mr..
Purvear was in Washington City at the time the
President issued his proclamation convening eX-
ira session of Congress. His departure thereafter is
ineXcusable Even if he had been at home, it
his duty to have hurried back, and to have stood
side by side with his Southern brethren in defense
of their rights and in defense of all that renders this
Union desirable. Instead of this he reposes quietly
at home in effect saying to his constituents, Let
your interests and the interests of the South take
care of fthemselves,-let the Black Republicans lord
it over YOU if my non-interference enable them
to do So"
And the case of Mr.. Reade is, if possible, still
worse He voted with the Black Republicans to
censure Mr.. Keitt because he was too honorable to
belray a friend. He has been in secret caucus
with Black Republicans; and now, at the crisis Of
the fight between the North and the Sonth-be-
tween fanaticism and conservatism Reade's
name is called in vain in the halls of Congress. He
is not where true Southern man, occupying his
position, should be. Both he and Mr. Puryear are
cooperating with the enemies of the Constitution
by their Z" "masterly inactivty."
Let US glance for moment at the result of this
"masterly inactivity" On the second day of the
extra session, motion to strike out the objection
able proyiso in the army appropriation bill was lost
for the want of teo votes There was only one ma
jority against striking out. Had Messrs. Reade and
Puryear been present and voted with the South,
the revolutionary feature would have been gotten
rid of, the government would have gone on in its
usual channel peace and quiet would have been re-
stored and the Constitution would have been in the
ascendency
If Mr.. Paine be too unwell toattend to his duties,
We have nothing to say of him. If not sick, he
stands in the same category with bis two confreres

This gentleman arrived in this City by the Raleigh

call, Mr.. Brooks appeared at one of the upper VIM
dows of the Hotel and addressed the assemblage in
brief and neat speech, thanking them for the COM

affair with Sumner. AT the conclusion of his speech
