LESS THAN EVER The chances for an organization
of the U. S. House of Representatives now mucl
less than they have ever been and not how an,
result is to be arrived at unless by an accident W.
are now in the sixth week of the session, and all tha
has been done is, if may be allowed the expression
to find out that nothing be DONE With remarkable
persistency the Republicans have adhered to Sherman
Once before, the organization delayed until Feb
ruary but not under circumstances like those that now
surround We in danger of the total suspension
of the operations of an important department. and egis
laton upon other points is urgently demanded.
| Upon whom does the blame rest? Who ought to
yield? There are two parties in the House. and two
factions. The Democratic party has ought to have
some 80 to 81 votes; the Republican party has some
los to ITO. The South Americans have some 20 to
%, and the AntiLecomptonites, the impractcabes
of them, some with few sloshng around
During the whole time the little factions of the Amer-
cans and the" AntLecomptonites have been schem-
compel the great parties of the country to submit to
their petty dictaton. The true issue is Democrat or
Republican-Co Conservative or Sectional If the factions
will just stop their little schemngs and show their
hands-voe way the other decisively the thing
will be done at once and the country be put at rest on
one subject at least. We will know exactly where pub

what exercised yea verify considerably put by the SIM
pie statement of fact in reference to Mr. Gimers imme
date section 1t can hardly fail to have been that
all the operations of the Rev. Daniel Worth carried
in particular part of particular district of North
Carona-that Vesta, and Turner, and Jesse Pope the
person to whom many copies of Helpers book were
consigned, also resided in the section. Can it be
doubted that these facts known to the Black Re-
pubcans of the House, and induced some of them to
vote for Mr. Gilmer?
Do we charge the entire population of district in
this State with being friendly to the doctrine vi ire
pressibe conflict ?" By no means but we do say that
in part of the fifth district, there has been exhibited
altogether too little "conhict" Had there been the
same conflict against abOltionism and incendiary
teachings in two three counties of that district that
there has been all the other counties of the district and
the State these things could not have gone long
as it is shown that they have DONE That is p!an.--
Now so far the reputation of State concerned is
not better to let the truth be known about these things
Let no one be left to suppose that they took place all
over the State but let it be distinctly understood that
any kewarmness even, the subject of our domestic
Institutions was confined to very limited space and
we trust to only small portion of the population with

We want the thousands of good and loyal citizens in

significant minority. We have some friends in that
district whom esteem highly, and whose feelings we
should dislike to hurt, as should regret the loss of
their good opinion, but feel that run no risk of
doing either by talking out about things that exist and
cannot be denied.
The opposition presses daily accuse the Democrats of
being ready and willing to sacrifice the country the
South and everything else that hold DEAR on the
altar of party, although of course Democrats would
to share in the ruin, and yet they raise
lorrid camor if any act of Mr.. Gmer an asprant for
