"CoNGREss No CoNGREss. THE New York
Ncscs, of Saturday last, has an article under
this head, and, after discussing its views at
length, says
1.-THE men who occupy the legislative
chambers of the Capitol do not, we repeat,
constitute u Congress. Their deliberate denial
OF representation to eleven States of the Union
has clearly destroyed the distinctive feature
of the Congressional existence general repre-
sentation. As the sworn guardian of the
right OF the States, it is, therefore, the
bounden duty of the President to use every
lawful means Of restoring these States to their
place in the Federal Parliament And, no
other means being open to him for that act of
constitutional duty, he cannot unless he lend
himself to the wrong by continuing to recog-
nize the revolutionary bodies in the Senate
Chamber and the House of Representatives,
avoid the obligation to convene Congress OF
NE restored Union. Southern delegations and
the consiitutionalists who now form the
minority of the revolutionary iunta at the
Capitol, will respond to the Presidents call,
and, throwing open their doors TO all duly
qualified members, will, from that hour, have
become the Congress of the United States.
Less than q quorum though they might al first
be, they would, from the moment of their
assembage, have power to compel the attend
ance of others; and though in the end the
revolntionists would probably constitute a
majority in both chambers, the country would,
at all events, have thenceforth been blessed
with the fact of the restoration of the Union
This is, we repeat, n sworn duty of the Presi-
dent; the necessities ofpolitical repose demand
it; the legislative wants of the country call
for it; and bold though it be, let Mr.. John
son remember that no man who has dared, as
he has done, TO cross the Rubicon OF the re-
yolutionary power, can sustain himself unless
he rush on in resolute adoption of the Roman

ES- The same party who are now keeping
the Southern States out of the Union, are the
lineal descendants of those who were ready to
cruelty Mr.: JEFFERSON, for purchasing Lou
isiana, in 1909, by which act tho Western
country was settled ana made the most -four
ishing part of the whole world, and the pow
er of the United States multiplied fifty fold.
And it appears wonderfully strange that the
West, whose prosperity is owing to that of
the Southern States, should join in such an
unjust persecution. But the West is repre-
scented in Congress chiefly by Yankees. who
look rather to the interests of New England
than to those OF their constituents.

THE Civil RIGHrs BILL.--We publish, to-
day, the Civil Rights Bill, which passed both
Houses of the so-called Congress- over the
Presidents veto, which not only declares the
negroes citizens, on an equality with the
whites, but is intended to destroy the rights Of
the States--the very fundamental principles of
our free republican government--and to erect
on their ruins military despotism, directed
by an arbitrary power at Washington. In
what manner President JOHNSON will execute
this law, which he thinks unconstitutional
remains to be seen.
We remember that, seven or eight years
ago, an article appeared in the New York
Courier and Enquirer, then published by JAS
WATSON WEBB, proposing that New York,
New England and Pennsy lvania should erect
themselves into an empire, and control the
South and West as interiors and tributaries.
The Yankee emissaries in the West, who have
wormed themselves into Office, would sacri-
fee the interests Of the Western people for
those of their native place, and very probably
the destruction of the rights of the States, by
the Civil Rights Bill, is part of this very plan.
The ASSESSMENT LAw.-The assessment law,
passed at the late extra session of the General
Assembly, was intended, as we believe, to in
crease the taxes Of the farmer, and tighten
those Of the monied capitalists If certain
sum Of money $40 be raised for the support
Of the Government and the payment Of inter-
est on our debt-then,.. III the valuation of the
land is increased, whilst the bonds and goods
remain stationary, the tax on land is increased,
whilst that on capital is relatively decreased.
But the systematic course of the party in pow
er seems TO be to make the rich richer, and the
poor poorer; and if the people are fools enough
to bear it, they will certainly be reduced to
the condition of the laborers of Europe.

THE FENIAN ExcITEMENT.-Th Fenians are
collecting in considerable numbers at East
port Maine. A Fenian vessel with howitzers
and other arms was not permitted TO leave the
port by order of the officer of customs. Com
munication between ST. Johns, New Bruins
wick, and the Western towns on the British
side was destroyed by the Fenians on Monday
night last. English war ships are lying off
Campo Bello, in Passamaquoddy Bay, and
troops have been landed there who are engaged
in throwing up defences.
The Toronto Globe says there is no longer
any doubt that o Mahoney is concentrating
a Fenian force near the New Brunswick
frontier. The Globe claims that the presence
OF this force on the frontier is clearly in
violation Of the neutrality laws OF the United
states and that the authorities at Washington
must speedily TAKE action ON the subject.

a MEMPHIS lawyer relates, if we may re-
ly upon the statement of the Memphis Bull
letin, that while in Carroll county lately, he
had attended the preliminary trial of man
before county magistrate. charged with
stealing corn fro Il neighbor's crib. The
evidence went to show that the defendant
had been found with his hand in an aperture
of the crib, safely fastened in a steel trap,
which the owner of the crib had set for the
purpose Of catching the thief who had been
pTeyng upon his grain. 1t was also in evi
denee that two empty corn sacks were found
lying at the feet Of the entrapped individual.
The decision Of the magistrate was that there
was no proof that the prisoner had stolen any
corn, and to being caught in a steel trap
any gentleman had perfect right to stick
his hand in one ifhe felt inclined to do so.
