The Meeting OF the New Congrcss-POsi-
tion OF President johnson.
AS the appointed time for the assembling Of
the new Congress draws nigh, the organization
of the House Of Representatives. and the exact
recommendations of the President upon our
foreign and domestic affairs, become the lead
ganization Of the House, we think that except
ing Texas all the Southern States. in fnlfilment
of the Presidents programme, will be present
to claim their seats and place on the pre-
liminary roll Of the Clerk. II also appears to
us that his only course will be to admit those
members, il they come before him with certif-
Gates Of their election in pursuance Of the laws
Of their respective States as loyal States of the
Union. But, as it is understood that the House
Clerk has determined against the admission of
those Southern members, it will most probably
devolve upon the House itself TO decide the
question of their eligibility. If they present
themselves, however, with a declaration Of the
nullity of secession, and with the reputation
of the debts and obligations Of The rebellion,
as null and void and with legislative ratif-
cation of the great constitutional amendment
by their respective States, as South Carolina

Believing that in prompt compliance with
The late instructions OF the President the
Southern States concerned will finish up their
necessary work in season for the meeting Of
Congress, we count upon their admission with
out difficulty. To full house, then, embracing
message will probably be submitted. In any
event. we may approximate the official expo
siton Of his policy before Congress from the
lights before us in his proclamations, speeches,
dispatches and published conversations during
The last six months, and from the additional
lights of public opinion, as manifested in all
the late elections.
First, in regard 10 our foreign relations, we
anticipate no warIike propositions from the
message. Accepting the recent Auburn speech
of Mr.. Seward as by authority, We entertain
no doubt that President Johnson will adhere
firmly to the Monroe doctrine bat we pre-
sumo that he will judIciously leave the ques-
ton OF its enforcement TO the deliberations Of
the two houses, holding himself in readiness to
maintain the doctrine meantime to the last
resources of diplomacy. From the Adams
Russell correspondence we can have but one
opinion Of the views Of the administration ia
reference TO our claims against England. Mr..
Adams will be sustained in the message. From
the Presidents welcome to the new Minister
from Brazil we anticipate the recommendation
of more liberal and closer relations of friend
ship with the Independent States Of South
