representation, ana the two Senators
and twenty-five Representatives Of the
State of Pennsylvania might as well
assume to be the Congress of the United
States as could the legislative BODY
which met in Washington last winter.
The President stated what Is plain
and incontestible fact in relation to that
body, which has been fifty denominated
the "Rump Congress" and if to denounce
violations of the constitution OF the
United States and inculcate or enforce
compliance with the provisions OF that
instrument be deemed revolutionary,
and sufficient cause for e1horting pru-
dent men to prepare for the worst, the
time has come when such revolution
is needed and when "the worst" that the
enforcement of the constitution can
bring will be infinitely preferable to q
continuation of the present order OF
things.
