Bright acd Fitch Confirmed.

As we predicted the Senate has decided
that Bright and Fitch are entitled to their
seats. No injustice seems to be too mon
strous for that party to perpetrate when
ever it promises to be Of any advantage to
them. No attempt is longer made to dis
guise the wrongs they enact. but upon them
rely, 1t would seem. almost exclusively to
maintain and keep themselves in power,
well knowing that the people have deter
mined upon their overthrow. A republi-
can government cannot long withstand
such shocks; this they know, and its over
throw Is tho object nearest their hearts.
that they may establish monarchy and
spread slavery all over the Union.
No one can fail to see in this case the
self qualification Of those members who
voted to give Bright and Fitch the seats
they claim. Harlan's right to a seat was
based on stronger grounds. but they GUST
cd the one and retained the Others Thi.

All the talk about war with England has
ceased The fact is England has no de-
sire to come In conflict with the United
States. SO long as the Democracy is the
dominant party in this country. They are
allies. Democratic policy is most favora-
bic to British interests. and besides Eng
land sees that our government, if suffered
to remain in the hands Of the Shamocracy,
will soon become adespotism OF monarchy,
and that war with US would rctard In
stead Of accclerating our march in that d.
rection, hence the promptness with which
England has disavowed the outragcs upon
our merchant vessels by one of her ships
of war. 1t will not be the first time in the
history of nations that a liberal and free
government was overthrow BY those who
made the loudest professions in favor OF
popular rights. The Savior Of mankind
was betrayed by q kiss from pretended
