Il vors au expression Of opinion from the
members elect to Congress from the South,
and suggests converting in some Southern
city to consider the best interests Of their con-
stituencies. We believe the suggestion of
the News was made in a spirit Of kindness,
but we cannot see the advantage Of such a
converting Or the public expression of the
views Of our members elect. They were
elected at the instance of the President, and
repaired to Washington by invitation to take
their seats in Congress. They were rudely
given to understand that just yet their pres
ence was not desired there. Like sensible men,
having shown no eager haste to get into Con-
gross, and without uttering any complaints,
they have shown no reluctance to leave and
have, nearly all, returned home. We have
Legislatures and Governors, if they are not
likewise rudely thrust aside, who will attend
to our immediate interests, and we can afford
to wait, if the Northern States can, to express
our views upon the affairs of the country, un-
til Radicalism has cooled down from it's fever
heat, and our Representatives shall be cordi-
ally invited to participate in the deliberations
Of the Republic. 1t will be time enough
then to give expression to our views in the
Halls of Congress- The dignity and inter-
est of the Southern people forbds that our
Representatives should thrust themselves be-
fore the world in public convenings, protes-
tations, or lengthy addresses. We trust yet
to participate in the Government of our IA
