MONDAY, MARCH 4, 1851

This day brings to an end the last session oil the
Thirty-sixth Congress. A more important duty
has seldom or never devolved upon the represen-
tatives of the people than that which this Congress
has been called upon to perform, and no legislative
body has ever more shamefully failed TO meet the
requirements of its constituents. It found the
country rent asunder by dispute such as has not
occurred since we became nation. The South
was on the verge of revolution, and the disrup-
ton of the confederacy was imminent. Whether
the fears of the slave States were well founded,
and whether any defensive action on their part
was necessary are questions which we will not
now stop to consider. We have endeavored to
show over and over again that they had good
cause to demand some fresh guarantees for the
faithful observance of their rights from those who
had already repudated the decisions of the Su-
preme Court, and thus announced their intention to
disregard the Constitution. If we have failed to
make this manifest it because of our inability
to put the argument in a conclusive shape,
and not because the case itself was other
than a demonstrable one. But whether
or not the Republican party took this view of
the subject, it matters little. They GER
tainly did see that the dispute between the North
and South was serious one, and that it threat.
ened to end in the destruction Of the Republic
They knew, moreover, that the country looked TO
them to adjust the quarrel, and they knew that
they could at any time settle it within week. 1t
was their bounden duty to have done so, even if
the task could only have been accomplished at
the heaviest sacrifice. 1t so happens, however,
that no sacrifice was required save the abandon
ment of partisan feelings and party spir-
it. But these they could not be in
duced TO forego. They have steadily de-
clined TO yield one solitary principle of the I'M
constitutional Chicago platform. They have
preferred to imperl the UNION, rather than run
the risk of losing their own popularity in the
Northern States. They have resoluely set their
faces not. onlyagainst giving the South what it
has a legal right to insist on, but they are firm
against making any compromise whatsoever
The resolutions of the Peace Congress in re.
atty are only of any practical Importance be-
they offer the South assurances that its con-
stitutonal rights will be respected in future, and
even these, the supporters ofthe incoming Admin
istration have rejected. By the display Of very
little ability and the exercise of very little pari
otism Congress might have prevented the secession
of single State, but now its own end and that
of the Republic bid fair to be simultaneous events.
The contempt and scorn in which the name of
will not attempt to measure.
