ent thus fixes the responsibility for delaying
the organization Of the House upon the Admin
istration Senators and Representatives. This
is the complaint Of one Of thoir own friends:
"ln less than two hours after Congress Assem-
bled the niger question was sprung in both
Houses-in the Senate, by Mr.. Mason, and in
the House by Mr.. CLARK, Of Missouri The or
ganization of the House and tie public business
must be delayed to advertise the notorious anti
slavery bssk called The Impending Crisis
The Republicans have been trying to give cir
culation to this work for the last two years and
have failed until now. when the Congress Of
the United States have entered upon the work
Of advertising it.
"From present appearances the House will
not be organized for week, and the only sub
ject to be discussed will be Helper and his
! Impending Crisis afterwards some Of the
negro drivers will pitch into Wcston's PRO
gross Of Slavery in the United States. Dur
ing this time the appropriation bills and other
public business must be sacrificed. Lovejoy, Of
illinois, and Ashley, Of Ohio. are said to be
ripe with answers in ridiculcof Clark, Of Mis-
,ouri. The prevailing policy Of the Republi-
"a 4 members Of the House seems to be to let
he Administration party talk against organ
zing the House and take tho responsibility.
