Congress we fear is disposed to into extremes
especially those members whose States are largely or
entirely in the hands OF the enemy. IL this war Is TO
8 fought out TO the last and the LIST dollar " we
srs realy battling for Independence must husband
glr resources We must have men to fight, and We
aust have something 10 feed them Beware Of de-
sxrvying the seed corn.
But Judging the future by the pest, We cannot say
that We expect anything from the present Congress
rs members seem to have neither the patriotism or
craftsmanship for the awful crisis with which they have
10 deal
TIE country reioees that the end Of the present Con-
1ress ia so near; and If there 70 be thorough
chang in the Cabinet and the Executive al the same
imc il would only tend 10 increase public confidence
for there can be bat few ntege persons found now
but viii acknowledge that the " SIX years term es
tablished in the formation Of the Government was
hiunder.
