WARRINGTON. d. e., Jan. &. ls66
COngressmen are rapidly returning from
then holiday ,rp, and the impressions produced upon
their minds by the contact with their constituents
form the general subject Of inquiry and conversation.
Previous 10 the recess II was predicted that such
contact would certainly produce great change in the
attitude OF parties and more especially thn, many OF
those who then were opposed 20 the immediate aud
conditional admission Of the delegations from the
Rebel States would latter their return bc found ready Ia
yield up all their objections to that measure. This pre-
dicton does not seem TO have been founded upon n
knowledge either OF the people or their represent
| atves.
The conversations have had with representatives
from different States since their return TO this city lead
| me 10 the following conclusions: The people do not
desire a rupture between Congress and the President
but they desire s less that Congress should reccde
from any Of the positions taken and pat up the work
OF reconstruction without eIacting from the Rebel
States sufficient bonds for future good behavior The
consequence H. that Congressnen elected BY Republican
constituencies coming back fully determined ms
ever more to insist upon guarantees pre-
yOus readmsson, and that those who found In
their disircs frightened postmssers aud revenue! col
ectors. fnliy impressed with the unwaverng firm
ness OF tho Republican to whom post Offices and
cosctorshps are Of very little importance.
The situation is, therefore. essentially the same i
was before the Tho question Is whether II VIII
long remain 80. The President In his conversations
with members is still profuse In assurances that he Is
far from desiring conflict between the Executive and
Congress but he does not seem willing TO cay what
he would do to avoid IT, lfit is true. - Is generally
asserted and believed by many that the President In.
tends 10 his Official patronage for the purpose Of
forcing the immediate admission OF southern delega
tions he may produce the desired effect upon few In
dividuals but hs will thereby rather prcciptas than
prevent al open rupture. The employment Of such
ways willing TO come 20 fair and friendly understand
ing but who will never yield TO anything thst looks
like force corruption.
1t is sn to be hoped that the tvo brspobes Of the
National Government will find basis upon which 10
cooperate. There IL obstacle In tho way which u
will DO difficult 10 overcome. II 10 the (usksyus OF
