The last days Of Congress were as dis
graceful as those which beheld the shame of
our State Legislature. A fren2ied mob hur-
ried away from Richmond when the hour
fixed for adjournment came, there was no
quorum. The guns Of Grant and the echo
ing tread Of Sherman's hosts made the poor
Congressman tremble for their precious
necks. May they long be SPARED to the
distilleries of their country.
How godlike tho conduct of Davis COM
pared with that of the horrible ghastly crew
of old party hacks that sneaked and hur-
ried away from Richmond What terri
Bile rebukc was that he administered "You
may den0unce me; you may fail to comply
v iyh my wishes you may pandcr to popular
prejudicos; you may seek votes, and stulti-
fly yourselves to secure them but let me
tell you, that your moral infrmites will
not shake my unbending purpose, nay iron
will. If the country fall, | shall be buried
beneath its ruins Such substantially was
Davis commentary upon the conduct of the
scheming fellows who betrayed him in the
hour of final trial. Many of these Con-
gressmen, as soon as they have time to re-
fleet upon what they have done, will follow
Mr.. Orr's example. They will become SOL
diers in order that they may 20 into the
army, to keep out of it. The people will
throw up their hats, and duped as they have
been for the last forty years by the same
tricksters will be absolutely delighted by
being made fools Of
We watch the result with great interest.

President Johnson's plan for the tmme-

has swept over the nation, eneulphing It's
laws, Its liberties, and its material prosperity,
though yisiblF abating, has not yet reached
its ebb. Every hour It falls, and the time
cannot be far distant when the people Of the
North so long led through deep winters by
blind guides, will search for dry Isnd nnd Other
leaders. That day will see the triumph Of
Democratic principles aud Of those who have
faithfully upheld them.
In the election Just closed, the Democratic
party has been faithtul to its time-houored
principles. It hos sought nothing less than
the good of the whole country. It did not
hesliate to indorse the measures Of an adm1n-
istratlon whose election it had opposed, for
those measures were well adapted to the end
which it never lost sight OF through four years
Of fwar-restorat1on Of the Union and its laws
of peace, Of our civil Hbe1ties Of local selEgov-
ernment and OF fraternal goodwill between all
sections Of our common country. And to-
day the chief regret Of every intelligent Dem
oc1at will be, not that local election has
been lost, but that htr. Johnson's political
measures for the early restoration Of the
Southern States to their co-equal md normal
relations In the Union, which was the chict

late canvass, Inyc not received the wetghty

hat they had found the trail Of the other
command, but bad been unable to follow It,
As that portion of the country was swarmins
with Indians, AID their party was too small
to make successful resistance against any
large force. Gin. Connor now called upon
