The president and Congress.


Soon alter the President delivered his
unfortunate speech on the 22d of Febru-
arv we noticed calls Of public meet
mos in various parts OF the country, in
several of which all who were in favor
n sustaining both the President and
Congress were invited to attend This
we deemed very proper method of call
irc together the true Union men Of the
country, for whatever may be the errors
sor which either the executive or the
legislative branch Of the government
may be responsible, neither is entirely
sultless, while loyalty to the Union is
too plainly stamped upon the record Of
both to warrant the sweeping anathemas
which have been uttered by impassiOned
ultrasts. In the meetings called speech
es &ere made and resolutions adopted,
sustaining both the President and Con-
gress, regretting undue passion ana ex-
element at time when interests affect
ing the peace Of the country and the sta
biIjtv of our free institutions, were deep
" involved.
In COnngcucHt Aud New hampshire,
where elections werc pcndIngi local III
tervsts provet ii restraint on the bad
passions o. aev violent among the Union
men, and We heard no oitter denunc'"-
tious Of either President or Congress.
And people are now realizing more than
ever that botl branches OF the govern
meut are the chosen representatives OF

d 1g to reinstate themselves IN political
. power through the breach they are en-
. deavoring to make and enter. Both the
President and Congress have good sense
enough to see and comprehend this, ana
seem TO be governing themselves accord
. ingly.
lnth recent Union State Convention
OF Pennsylvania, resolutions were adopt
ed sustaining Congress, but there was
. not a word in them denunciatory OF the
. President while there were many refer
ring to his honorable and patriotic rec

Congress and the Executive differ on

both, and while the Union members fail
to agree among themselves, denuncia-
tiops Of the executive from them would
