Congress
As We remarked some time since Congress and Kan
sas mean about the thing, as, until Kansas has
been disposed Of nothing else be done or thought OF
in Congress. We may regret the fact-we may depre-
cate the state of feeling which find prevailing, but
the fact is there and the feeling exists. We may be
sick and tired of Kansas-we are sick and tired of it,
but what does that avail us? There stands and there
the business of the country stands because of it.
Last week we gave in full the proceedings in the
House and the Senate. Neither body was in session
on Saturday Yesterday at one o'clock the original
Senate BILL returned from the Senate to the House. was
to have been taken up and suppose was taken up,
but without decisive result At least the telegraph has
brought of such result and we, therefore,
conclude that no such result has been arrived at
| Shall we speculate? OF what avail would spccula-
lions be- Shall take up time with labored defence
of what requires defence? The heart of the South
is with the administration in this contest and the judg
ment Of the head raties and approves the impulses of
the heart requires appeal to party to draw forth
this feeling obtain the verdict of this judgment. Sure
ly, Southern Know Nothings Or South Americans ~
if the appeation be more pleasing, like Mr.. Gimer Mr..
Marshall Mr.. Underwood, determined to commit
suicide They are determined to immediate themselves
upon the altar Of their preudiccs and antpathcs against
the Democratic party and Democratic administration
They determined to pursue in Congress that fatal
policy that has ruined them at honc-that policy that
has thrown Kentucky into the of the Democracy
that policy that inflicted upon MIR. Gimer the most hui
initiating defeat experienced by of any pre-
tensions in North Carolina and which even jcopardized
his election to Congress from the very orress-the Glib
raltar of opposition in North Carolina. 1t requires
prophet to locScc his ignomnious defeat at the next r
AL should hc pcrscyee in his present course, and have
the timcrity to risk contest before the people OF the
first Thursday of August, 1859.
1t would be useless to multiply words about this thing
as it would be to attempt reply to the reoicings O
those who contemplate with satisfaction present o.
prospective, differences i'll the Democratic party. W.
are conscious of the existence of these differences
any be- But, to save our lives we cannot sex
how Southern derive satisfaction from knowl
edge of the existence Of such difficulties. Suppose thu
Democratic party broken up and driven to the wall
what party would rise upon its ruins 2? Would it bC
Southern party national party or would it be
party composed of Black Republicans? OF all the anti
Democratic vote i'll the House, who comes from the
South, but McSsrS. Gilmer. Davis, Ricaud,' Harrss
Marshall and Underwood. Who is to be benefited b,
ern Americana Look the thing fairly in the face, ant
what does it amount to: Take party out OF the case
and look at it simply from Southern a nationa
point of view, just as you choose.
Contrary to expectation, the Senate bill for the al
mission Of Kansas did net come before the House OF
Monday and thus 50 far as We can learn, the who'll
matter remains in H0tU quo 1t is said that the Hous
will demand committee of conference. The hold tina
the Senate has the opposition is through Minnesota
That has not yet passed the Senate and ought not unit
: the House passes Kansas.
The Army Bill" as it is Called being bill for tn
increase of the military force of the country to meet tn
Utah difficulties, and provide for the defence of the II
dian frontier has at last been got through both Houses
though in very modified FORM Instead of fre ne,
regiments of regulars the bill only authorizes three reg
ments of volunteers This, and Police bill for the cit
of Washington, is about all the business that has bee
done, or been seriously taken hold of lately.
BsaNIt would appear that the Senate is holding Owe
the kanzas Bill as long possible, confident that
must gain by the reflection for which slight delay wi
afford the time and opportunity. With this view, Nj
Sdel of Louisiana, gave notice that he should
reconsideration, which, according to the custom of tn
Senate will prevent the transmission of the bill to tn
House for three days, as he has that time in which
make his motion. 1t will hardly be brought to anothe
test in the House this week.
