The Last Congress and the Next.

The elections for members Of Congress,
which also take place in October, demand
the undivided attention Of the country
We regard these Congressional elections
this year as of moro importance than any
which have been held for the past fifty
years. Upon them depends in a great
measure the integrity, the very eXistance
OF the country. The radical Congress now
in power taught us most thoroughly, by
the bitter results Of last session, the pow
er and the influence Of Congressional ac-
ton during a crisis like this. This Con-
gress, during single session, neall Y ac-
complished the ruin Of the nation. There
never was collected more wicked, silly,
revolutionary body of crazy fanatics
When they at last adjourned the whole
country gave a deep sigh of relief, and
thanked God that the worst was over. II
jeff Davis himself had drawn up the
measures which they passed. they could
not have done the Union cause more inju'
rv. BY thei. diabolical intrigues they
have brought upon the country every dis
grace and disaster which has visited our
armies in the field. Uuder the lead Of
Sumner, Wilson, Fessenden, Lovejoy,
Chandler and other abolition radicals,
they succeeded in befooling weak members
of the Cabinet and imposing upon the sim
pie gool nature Of the President, until
they morrcd the plans and interfered with
the commands of our ablest and most pa
triotic generals. This accomplished, they
deliberately proceeded to stop enllstment'
and this enabled the rebels to outnumOer
our armies in every important engagement
during the war. Again and again they
interiered to prevent the capture OF Rich
mond, and at last left McClellan's army
to melt away in the swamps OF the Chick
ahominy, while they purposly held back
reiniorcements which were not needed else
where, and which would have saved the
army of the Potomac, and given 1t the
triumph which it could almost reach but
was not strong enough to completely Sc
cure. A crime like this can never be ior-
liotton or forgiven.

Freedom OF Political Action,

The New York World says: Grave
apprchcnsions have arisen, within the
last day or two, of an attept to stiae polit,
ical discussion and suppress that perfect
freedom of political action which the peo
'p!c OF this country have always hereto,
fore enjoyed, and without which the
form of popular elections would be bit
ter and degrading mockery. 1t is incredi,
bic that the Government would mediate,
or that manly and courageous people
would for single day submit to any
abrldgement of tho freedom of elections,
or OF the free canvassing necessary for
placing the questions in issue fairly be,
fore the people. The American people
would dishonor their manhood and their
lineage ii they were capable of supposng
these risnts in serious danger, We all
know, from sympathy with each other,
that before these rights can be cru he'd
among people trained as we have been,
every street in our towns, and every val
ley and hillside cultivated by our hardy
yeomanry, would run with the blood OF
determined men. 1t is true there are
some few cravens and some few presses
among us possessing no proper sense oI
the inestimable value Of this right Those
who would tolerate the suppression o.
free speech, even in a seditious fanatic
like Wendell Phillips, are not sufficiently
in sympathy with the great American
heart to understand that the right abou
whose Infringement they talk with sncl
fappancy can never be in any real dan
ger in this country. 1t is only men o
feeble sense of justice that can have any
apprehension on this score. All othe
American citizens know that they vii
exercise this inallenable right. There il
not hemp enough on the continent t.
hang half of those who will always ex
press their opinions as freely as the.
breathe the air. There need be no fear
that freedom of political ectiop is in -..sfi ~
real danger from Governmental ,nterfsr

The Curse of the Country.

The Abolition papers are publishing a
table, showing the number Of negro
slaves they expect to be cmancipatcd on
the first Of January next. under Prcsi-
dent Lincoln's Abolition proclamation Of
September %. They anticipate that the
proclamation will take effect in the fol-
lowing States, in wich the number Of
slaves, according to the census Of 1860,
is as follows. These they expect will be
liberated by the moral force of the proc.
lamation, and the physical force Of our
army and navy, which the President
promises the AbolitiOnists shall be used
to maiDtain the freedom of the emancipa.

1t is conicc ured that the natural in.
crease Of the slave population will make
the aggregate of the negroes freed on next
New Years dav by President Lincoln's
proclamation Three Millions and Half
This, the reader will please remember,
is not Gus but and Abolition estimate
Three millions and half of ignorant
and incapable blacks are, on the great
emancipation day in the United States,
January l, 1868, to be turned loose to go
where they please and do what they please
without restraint, to be colonized, if their
consent can be obtained, at the expense ot
the white people; who are also to pay the
full value of such as have belonged to
loyal masters, and to pay for all the
slaves, probably half or three quarters ot
a million more, in Delaware, Maryland,
Western Virginia Kentucky and Nilsson
ri, # those States can be coaXed or driv'
en- to adobt system of gradual emanci-
patton. Nor is this all by any means
the people are to be taxed to maintain
vast fleets in southern waters and large
standing armies in southern States fol
the sole and avowed purpose Of guaran
tceing AMI maintaining the freedom 0
the emancipated negroes.
This prospect may look appalling to I
poverty stricken and tax ridden people
but we have hardly yet taken a glimpse
of the mountain of debt which this negro
business is likely to pile upon the Nation.
In addition to the items we have named,
all of which we clearly foresha1owed in
the Abolition proclamation of September
22, the emancipatea negroes, or at least
proportion of them, must, in the tran
sition state from slavery and personal de.
pendence to one of freedom and person.
al independence, which may last ten, TWEEN
ty or an indefinite number of years, be
supported, as thousands of them now
are, men, women and children, at the eX-
pense Of the toll, sweat and blood Of the
white people of this country.
Slavery may have been whip to this
country but Abolitiouism is proving
itself very scorpion. 1t is sucking the
lfe-blood out of the people, and singing
the Union to death, Its rule must be
ahaken off, or curse will rest upon our
fair land, worse than that which has for
ages rested upon Babylon and Nineveh.-

Coy. Bradford, Of Maryland, has issued a
patriotic call to bis constituents to rally aud
enlist under the demand Of the President He
says they must be ths advance guard of the
Union army, because if the accursed rebellion
makes another forward movement, IDS first step
viii be upon the soil Of their State, He gives
the Northern sympqlhizers with treason hard
rap, thus:
"The one great paramount object which the
patriotic everywhere have in view, and which
with us IN Maryland should, and am su 0
does, outweigh and nearly eNlingulsh ali othrl
considerations, Is the restoration of the Uni n.
Whilst among those protesting the same objec !,
there may be found in some places compora
lively small class anxious to combine with i,
o,he, and ulteror views Of selfish aud slnls
ter character, We have itsour own state, tear,
still more dangerous class secret sympathlz
ers with secession who, by the exaggerated
Importance they constantly seek to attach to
these lactious movements and their affected
tear OF these ulterior purposes, are, IN TACT,
seeking only by such means TO undermine the
great cause we have at heart, and to paralyzr
the arm we are prepared to raise in its defense
! Against these inSidiOus attempts let us be or
our guard; let us bear in mind that the grca
impending peril, by which all other perils are
eciipsed is this rebellion, that it is to be pu
lo own; ; put down by force of arms, at whateye
cost and regardless Of all other considerations
That once subdued, the nation thereby res
cued, and the Union restored We need have nj
fear for its future preservation, or the renovated
vigor Of our Constitution. The mighty massc
of our population having themselves achieved
the success, and mindful Of the past, will b
sure to provide for our security in the future
whilst the very last whose influence need b
feared in this national regeneration, will be tn
sectional agitator and deuagogue, who wi
serve hereafter only as beacon to warn u

much unea slness exists among seine Of the
