Congress.

The first session of tho Thirty ninth
Congress commenced at Washington
on Monday last At no time since the
organization of the government has
such responsibilities dcvolved upon
this body as will fall to the lot Of
its present members Their bust
ness must naturally suggest itself to
every rejecting mind On the one
hand it must determine the political
status Of those states heretofore in re-
bellion against the established gov
eminent of the United States On the
other it must deal with men who will
be knocking at its doors for admission
as representatives from those states,
who are mindful of the enormity Of the
offense they have committed against
the government they had sworn to de-
fend and protect. If it be true, as
claimed by our greatest constitutional
lawyer, that "there is no such thing as
secession" then the relation of those
states to the Union is already deter
mined They are now where they
were before the war, component parts
Of the Union, and are entitled to rep
resentation, provided they conform to
such rules and subscribe to such oaths
and regulations as will place their 10y
atty above suspicion. II, on the con
trary, their rebellious acts in passing
ordinances Of secession, and subse-
quent resort to arms to destroy the
government, operate as n forfeiture OF
their right to remiin in the Union,
ana the word secession" has some
thing besides an idle Specification,
then comes the great work of recon
struction, and with it the right OF
those states or territories to represen-
tation.
These are truly grave and impor
tant questions to decide and should
call forth the experience, tho candor
and the learning of the country to as
sist in determining them. Whatever
other states may have done in thi.
respect in this trying hour of oul
country's history, Vermont has Sc
ected her best men, as II chosen Will
