struck BY the fact that the vast majority
Of Unionists in the National Legislature
express themselves as not satisfied en-.
tirely with any Of the measures to the ends
above noted, which passed or were likely
to succeed. 4 mutual concession Of nu-
merors u%nessential points and, in some
instances, q concession Of what was be-
lieYed to be prime features of proper and
deserved Congressional legislation are
often noted these facts developed in the
progress Of debate manifest a degree Of
harmony founded and established and de-
termined to be preserved. which is in
strong contrast to the storm that RACES
without. We find some of the most noted
Radicals, as they are called, mot as they
agree to call themselyes,) exercising pa
tierce and fostering q conciliatory spirit,
in the highest terms commenddblo; or else
it is not true that anything like such a
reason for radical " hurrah exists as is
pretended on the outside. We are much
inclined to believe the latter is the case.
Where there is disagreement on final ac-
tons in Congress, among Republicans, it
IS quite as marked as any respective posi-
tions Of parties in debate can well be
going to the whole plan and scope Of the
main propositions and yet, even these
differences are maintained and discussed
about with extraordinary quietness and
freedom from %acrimony. We find no ar
raignmens of Union men as Cooper
heads" or as that way inclined. because
they originally opposed the Freedmen's
Bureau or the Civil Rights Bill. On the
contrary. we find the substance and the
material, pertinent points of the veto mes
sages, anticipated in discussions that par
take Of the nature Of debates upon the
most un-party measures Of the session.
Republican directors TO the bills above
named, or to the representation resolution,
profess a like object and desire with the
supporters Of those propositions /; and no
shadow Of insinuation TO the contrary is
CLEANED from the record Of the ireest and
most forcible arguments or colloquies.
We take occasion to mention this for the
purpose Of drawing marked attention to
the fact Of the singular contrast presented
by the attitude of Union men in Congress
assembled, and the so-called Radicals"
OF the press. II would appear that u
Lawmakers in the National Capitol have
no more idea Of breaking up the Union
party because the President vetoes a
couple of radical" bills, than the New
England Senators have Of ~resignipg be-
cause Fessenden and Sumner have q tilt
on most every available occasion, and yet
are singularly amicable and concurrent
over the bills which did not meet Bxecu-
tive approval.
As matters now stand. the President
has defeated one Act and Congress has
passed another, or will do so, over Presi-
Dental objections. In view Of the char
ac,er Of treatment each have latterly dealt
to the other, we might nationally hope and
expect that q full balance has been struck
before the country, as between the CO.
ordinate branches for ADVERTISEMENTS
Each has its triumph-Congress having
the. most important in that it enacted a
law Of native force. while the Presi-
den, only defeated one supplementary to
q statute plan already in life and opera.
ton. lie, US indulge the belief that q
third r may be added to the titles of Hrst
legislative interest: To Reconstruction
and Representation, let us know Of the
efficacy and contamination Of Reconcilia-
ton. Although the Civil Rights Bill is
obnoxious TO US, and 10 the majority OF
our party here. on the ground Of its plac-
ing Cinnamon in court on a level with
white men, the objection will hereafter De
passed over in silence thinking that our
Sherifs and other local officers will agree
in a course Of action that will not place
Celes,ials in the j~ury-box, nor allow them
to take any improper precedence of civiliz-
ed and chris,ianized people! We will, st
least. wait with patience and candor for
the practical workings and fruits Of the
measure here; trusting that its established
benefits elsewhere may, at any rate. COM

and improperly on this coast as a literally
enforced law.
If the same disposition is pursued and
cultivated among Union men generally,
that is exhibited in Congress, the country
IS safe, for the Union party is indessructi-
BILE and unconquerablo. So mote it be-.
