This is the second time since the begin,
ming of the present session that Congress
has laid on the table resolution sim
liar in terms, to to the resolutions passed
by the House by a vote neary unanimous
at the Extra Session and yet we find
many of the same members of Congress,
who in July last voted for the Critt:ndon
resolution, declaring that this war is waged
"to defend and maintain the supremacy of
the Constitution, and to preserve the Union
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States unimpared,' voting on
the Sd of March against the declaration
that the war should not be prosecuted for
other purpose thaa the restoration of the
authority of the Constitution and the well
fare Of the whole people of the United
States.
BY this vote the majority in Congr ess
haye announced that they wish tho war
prosecuted for some other purpose than the
restoration of the authority of Constitution
and the welfare of the people. What that
purpose is we are not at loss to imagine
it is the destruction Of the rights in in.
stitution of the Southern States, the al,
teration Of the present Constitution of the
United States, and the formation of new
Constitution and new Government upon
principles congenial 10 The Abolitionst,
