No person can contemplate the action of
Congress without forebodings for the future.
This is to us the darkest hour in the history of
tie country. 1t is true that we have crushed
an extensive and powerful rebellion. The dis
puted question in regard to the Interpretation
of the constitution has been appealed to the
arbitrament of arms, and settled. It has been
disposed Of finally and forever by the removal
of the cause of disagreement, in the total
abolition Of slavery. In this decision the peo-
pie in the revolted sections have acquiesced,
and now come back, asking from the govern
ment the privilege Of enjoying all the bless
ings of restored Union and the exercise of
their legitimate rights under il. At this
point they are met by Congress, which de-
family refuses them admittance; thus, in
effect, saying that those States which could not
secede by passing ordinances of secession,
which could not sever their connection with
the Union by the sword and bayonet, are
out by the will of Congress. Thus
the nation, which has been convulsed by war,
and is now longing for peace and reunion, is
kept under agitation by fanatical and
Congress. Nor is this all. The
daily records of the proceedings Of that
body are filed with in6ammable torches, which,
being applied to tho body polite, are kindling
the fires of another revolution more extensive,
fierce and relentless than that from which we
have just emerged. The Jacobins in Congress
are doing their utmost to bring about a war Of
races-the worst of all wars. Instead Of pur-
,uing course OF pacifcation they are trying
% stir up strife, and are sowing the seeds
which sooner or later, If they continue, will
ieluge the streets of our Northern cities and
he plains Of the South with rivers Of blood.
There will be scenes of bloodshed TO which the
in st. Domingo and Jamaica, with
Ill their chapters Of horror, will furnish no
The enemies Of this country in Europe were
constantly predicting during orr late war that
It made no difference whether the North sue
ceeded on the battle field or not the Union was
destroyed and the country could never be
united again. The South, they declared, might
be whipped, but they would never renew
their allegiance to the Union. We have
already seen how false and erroneous has
been this prediction. Even those who
were the loudest in proclaiming it have
long since admitted their error. But instead
Of this evil threatening us we have one still
more formidable, pregnant with the most dire
results. Towards this we are drifting with
an alarming velocity. The war for the preser-
walton of the Union has ended. The Chief
Magistrate of the nation inaugurated policy
under which the country was rapidly changing
from warlke attitude to that Of peace. Our
gallant soldiers are rapidly returning to their
homes aud resuming their places around the
family freside. Just at this stage Congress as
sembles, and at once arrays itself against this
course Of events. Not only is the revolutionary
faction which controls that body laboring TO
arrest this march Of peace, but they are plung-
ing us into inextricable difficulties. Before the
blood of our soldiers who fell in battle is cold,
or The grass Is green upon their graves, the
Jacobns are endeavoring to force war of
races upon the country, and carry desolation
% he very heart of our populons cities and
thriving villages. Here we stand, nation
hurdcred by an enormous debt, with the tax
gath rer at each elbow; our commerce, which
was nearly driven from the sea, again trying 10
resume its place; one section Of the country
paralyzed by the stern events OF war,
yet struggling TO arise, Pb9nx-like, from
the ashes, aud yet Congress actually
refusing to render assistance, aud insisting
upon adding fuel to the fame and holding the
country down with lie ianatical grip--all for
the purpose of retaining party supremacy.
This is the picture which is now presented TO
cur view. This Is the feast which is now being
prepared for us by those whom the people
supposed were their representatives in the
