COLFAN As SPEAkEU.
We congratulate the country, and the admin
istration Of Mr.. Lincoln In particular, on the
election of Hon. Schuyler Colfax as Speaker Of
the House of Representatives of the Thirty
eighth Congress. The attempt to cheat the
Republican party out ofthis well ll-earned triumph
was complete failure.
The members from the rebelllous State ef
Virginia were not admitted to seats. This is
severe upon those gentlemen as individuals,
but 1t 10 the correct principle for Congress. To
admit them would establish a precedent for
any man to come here with credentials and
claim seat, from South Carolina or any other
rebellion. State. Let no man be admitted to
scat In Congress from any State, until that
State is regularly organized and recognized as
loyal.
