gerry to heal the chronic disorder of the patient
by tho most approved remedies of the old school
Of Therapeutics. The visit is too late. Altera-
tyes aud aperients have failed Of their virtues.
We have had fax-seed pOultices and soothing To-
tons but inflammation has gone on to suppura-
tiou. DR.. Crlttenden can spare his soporihcs
and sudorifcs. His sweet oil can be saved to
mitigate the crudities Of his salad and the at
tendant feather may be made of service to tickle
the sensitive localities of the constituency who
are to send him TO Congress with faded olive
branch in his hand. Its JUNCTION and its lubrca-
ton will be thrown away on the pinions and
Journals of the mechanism which he is ambitious
to set again smoothly running.
II Congress are TO be brought together in the
hot, high sun of July, to go over again the old
aud poor farce of dupng and dragging the North

speciOus appearances of truce, it is well that
we understand the character of the drama and
The cast of the dramatis persona. Mr.. Critten-
den need not fear thin house when the per-
formance is to come off, Pit, box and gallery

it now a special and peculiar business to COM

knapsack because be saw there work to do,
are not likely to 60 home without some practical
solution of the difficulties which they have not
sought to adiust in this way until after all other
resources had failed in their trial. Congress
may do what they will, but the mghtier power
which is behind Congress and all other consttu-
ted authority will submit to nothing which
looks to a restoration Of peace without the guar.
antics of submission for the future, and indem-
nifty for the past. The same men who have
touched ballots for quarter of century can
handle q cartridge with the same dexterity of
finger. They will rs easily and readily organize
. military despOtsm if the exigeDcies of the
hour demand if, as they can reconstruct on the
foundations Of tranquil arbitration. We have
opened our eyes to the necessity of stronger
central power, when States are in Instruction,
and cities in banded rebellion. We suspend the
hsbeas corpus in public danger, and we may not
only restore but keep the subOrdinatiOn of popular
elements by the sharp discipline of the sword.
Of Mr.. CrIttenden i do not propose to
speak, except in his public relations. Unhappny,
men at so are not always 80 vigorous or so USE
ful as at the tally Of 40. / do not hold hun to
the high force of what he was in middle age.
The system which he would arrest in it's dying
throes is nearer to its end than even he is to his
mortal limit. He cannot put aside the inevitable
fate which awaits him, can be avert the
destiny which has written the doom of a de-
crepit institution. He will hardly live to see how
complete aud perfect will be the extinction
which has been hurried on by the blind guides
who have led it to the precipice.
Mr.. Crittenden will stand absolved of any So
eret wish for causing what has been the cOnse-
quences of his policy. l acquit him Of any
league with the men who have secretly and
stealtbily brought us to our present condition
But with this concession to his intention, be has
been as active and potential as the leading rebels
in fastening the catastrophe. He has gone
against his own convictions, not of right merely
but of expediency. He knows how his own
State has been held in the chains of q bondage
at once on the state and the property of his peo-
pie. The city on whose levee he lands on his
return to his home stands visible and speaking
witness to the fact, which needs no testimony to
confirm belief. Louisville is the natural point Of
great city. A succession of rapids in the Ohio
has aided the industry of man in building the
opulence and prosperity of a mart. A region
unsurpassed in its wealth of soil belts its envi-
rons, and mingles the profits of production with
the gains of trade; but while stationary and
aluggsh in its growth, the fine City Of Cncin.
matt has passed it in the race of greatness. and
