Jhe revolutionary issue Before Congress
anu the Cou At. y-Thc True Position or
Parties.
The Struggle that is now going on in Con.
gyess-and in both houses it ia identical-is
something far greater than mere party strug.
gle: it IL q revolutionary one, and involves
issues of the most important character to the
whole country.
For seven weeks the wheels Of government
bave been stopped and the discussions in Con.
gress have had little or nothing in them Of a
legislative character. The election Of a Speak
or will not change this state of affairs, for the
issue presented 10 the people is the greatest
that has come up in our history as q nation.
Judgment ON it cannot be rendered until the 9th
Of November next when the Presidential cleo.
ton will EXHIBIT the popular will Here is the
issue, AS presented by Helper on the Goth page
of his compendium Of the Impending Crisis"
The words and the italics are his

That is the revolutionary issue addressed to
the men of the SOnth. 1t is endorsed and re-
other black republican members of the last
Congress, forty Of whom sit in the present one
1t is circulated aud enforced in every possible
way by the black republican political leaders
in the North. 1t is promulgated by Seward
possulated by Theodore Parker, preached By
Henry Ward Beecher, shrieked by Horace
Greeley, defended by Senators Wilson aud
Fessenden, subscribed to by Governor
Morgan. pleaded for by David Dudley Field,
practised by John Brown, and Geld by William
Henry Anthem, ut the revolutionary treason
shop near Wall street. On that issue Sherman
stands as the black republican candidate for
Speaker of the federal House of Representa-
tiyes, and when the conservative men there de
mand a denial he presumes to place his own
personality before the great interests of the
country, and with Falstaffian vigor declares
that if reasons were as plenty as black berries
he would give no man reason upon compul
sion.
On this great issue Messrs. Toombs and Cling
man, in the Senate, aud Keitt, in the House,
have taken their stand in eloquent speeches in
behalf Of the South. They recognise that the
time has arrived when the success of the black
republican party brings the whole country
face to face with revolution-that, in fact, we
are now virtually in state of civil war. In
nine States, where the republicans control the
legislation Of the State, the law of Congress for
the rendition Of fugitives from labor is dead
letter, and the federal compact is broken. No
one will deny that a compact broken on one
side is broken ON all sides and though the
hostile spirit is not carried into the administra-
ton of the federal government, yet the moment
it ia admitted there, every instinct Of manhood
and of selfpreservation will impel it to secede,
arm and meet the demon Of revolution. 1t
cannot wait till it reaches the door sill, and de-
fer its sefdefence for the hearthstoDe. The
argument must be made now, the true position
of things shown now, and its natural and inevi-
table results held up now before the whole
country.
Senators Wilson and Fessenden have spoken
tor the republicans on the floor of the Senate.
They admit that the issue is revolutionary
one that the black republicans have deter
mined to revolutionize the South, destroy the
existing order of things, and proclaim their
utopian ideas in relation to the four mil
lions Of negro slaves. The Senator from
Massachusetts glories in the lessons he has
learned from Garrison rejoices ia the brutal
aud bloody theories of Seward, commeuds the
incendiary teachings of Helper, sympathizes
with the mourners for John Brown, aud clings
to the motto of The Abolition of Slavery and
the Perpetuation Of the Union" He de.
pounces the feeling of alarm that ia pervadiag
the entire South, aud styles the gushing ex-
pressions Of feeling Of its representative men
- disunion farce" He insists that slavery ia
ga moral social aud political evil" which the
government should abate, and the republican
party will abate whenever it obtains control Of
the government Such il the plain menace of
revolution which the black republicans hold
forth, and on which they woald elect Speak
er Of the House and President Of the Union.
1t is before the two houses Of Congress and
before the people, who have to render their
momentous decision.
Thus far the conservative men and the
Southern men have the best of the argument.
Everywhere the sense of the countryis awaken
