IL is now towards July, and Congress have nei-
ther adjourned. nor exhibited any symptoms of
adioGrning. What ablessing to the country il
would have been had they, upon assembling.

preparation bills to carry ON the Government and
the war, and dispersed within a fortnight. The
people would have been much happier, business
much more prosperous, the war much nearer its
end, and tue Union IN greater progress OF restO-
ration. What good thing have Congress donel
VIII il he said that the law trittering away the
public lands Is good? We shall see in the
sequel that it is bad. Aud what other measure
than this OF public importance have they passed.
None. True, they have authorized the issue OF
large sums OF Treasury notes, but the tax bill,
which should have proceeded any considerable
issue of Treasury notes. hangs in suspense be-
tween the two houses. True. they have abolish
ed slavery in the District of Columbia. but this
has been done at serious cost to the public treas
ury, and against the protest OF the people Of
the district: and is calculated. ii not designed
to increase the difficulties of the restoration of
the Union. Nothing has been done about
repeating the abominable Morrill, tariff, the ex-
iStence OF which hts been a chief cause OF the
uniriendliness of the European Powers to us
during the war. Congress have done no good
thing, aud we have no expectation that they will
do any good thing. They will pass a tax bill
undoubtedly but we have some f~Oretaste of what
IL will be. Perhaps we should be thankful. how
ever. that they have not done worse. Perhaps
We should be thankful that they have not passed
all the radical and destructive projects which
have been agitated. Ii we should be. we are

"A few weeks since about one hundred con
trabands arrived at Philadelphia and were all

Our readers will find ia our paper this week the
speech OF Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana. very recently
made in the Honse OF Congress. IL has seldom
been equalled in that body, ia its best DAYS of
great men. In the most turbulent days OF the
Roman Senate. seldom were men found, who
more ably or elOqueutly plead for Roman honor,
or Roman liberty.
Never was there such an era in our history "a
this, to call forth the talent and eloquence Of
the patriots and statesmen OF our country. and
vet how few speeches have risen TO the high
mark the perilous condition oil the country and
the threatening clouds gathering around the liber
ties OF this great people demand. In fact, 1t has
seemed to Us that our leading statesmen scarcely
realized the rapid and steady plunges we are
making into the Wild abyss OF RUIN and desola-
ton. Like the wicked in the days of Noah, they
could not be made believe that the food would
amount to much until the water was up to their
ehins.
History teaches this curious fact. that people
are never really in danger until they persuade
themselves that danger * impossible. The first
evidence of the downwar road OF a nation i it,
corruption in the public administrators The
next IS the Indifference OF the people 10 this cor
ruption. Like the Rev. Beecher on living. they
begin TO think it a necessary or inevitable evil.
and thu> full license Is Yielded to the corruption
ISIS. Tue third is the willlul disbeliet that any
thing very serious. and certainly nothing very
dangerous. can possibly occur.
They forget, too. that the man who shrinks
from his duty in iorewarning the approach OF the
EVIL hour, Is wholly unfit to stay it, onward pro
gresS when il fairly sets in. Hence the great
lengths to which the civil connections generally
run-the long time II takes to correct past errors

DisgracefuI Partisanship.

Mr. Voorhees,. of Indiana. has made a severe
exposition OF the corruption that has crept into
the publis service. Ii he said aught that apollo
gizes for the course of the secession leaders, we
have been unable 20 see il. II he has been more
sea hing on the miserable, mercenary race who
have cheated the soldier and robbed the Govern
ment: ii he has held up more efIectually to the
public scorn this tribe of pluuderefs than the hon
est ol his party have on the floor OF Congress. or
ia the Republican press, or at the corners OF the
streets, as the enriched passed by, he must be a
master IN the vocabulary of Inveetive. All Who
do this faithfully. OF ali parties deserve the thanks
OF an honest people. Mr.. Voc. bees closed his
speech by expressing his earnest hope that the
people would see to IL that their representatives
were true TO the Constitution and Union.
Mr. Kelly, OF Pennsylvania, Republican,, fol
lowed Mr.. VOORHEES,. Instead of meeting fnan-
cal facts as to the present, he went back 10 the
past; adduced the operation of the thief FLOYD,
and Cobb and Thompson. and made "a wretched
attempt To hold the Democratic parry
responsible for their works; as though Il were IN
answer To the charge of plundering 10 day To say
that Floyd plundered in 1850. Such miserable
demtgogiSm must he condemned by every can
did citizen. IL Is SANDER most foul to connect
the Democrats with traitors or treason. The
types OF that glorious party may be seen in a jO-
seph Holt, an Andrew Johnson. "A Shields, and in
the hosts of rank and file that make three quar-
ters OF the glorious army Of the Union. Let this
Kelley 20 10 these patriots who are standing with
THEN lives in their hands, and talk OF Floyd. Cobb
and Thompson. and see what reply he will get
This exhibition should blister the tongue OF the
demag0gue and slanderer OF the noble party
which now stands on the ramparts OF the Consti-
tuition. Such a vile speech as this ought to put
Kelley out of the pale of decent society.
The people want no compromise with traitors.
and no apology for the public plunderers; but, at
such an hour as this. above all the days of our
national life, must desire the JelIersouian tests of
honesty. capacity and fidelity to the Constitution.
