r. Mr.. Ross, of Illinois, on the 18th,
offered sixteen resolutions in Congress, in
| which are recited great many truisms
and great many things that are not tru-
isms. We notice, says the Chicago
Tribune, that one of the resolu-
tions insists that Congress shah maintain
inviolate the essential and fundamental
principles of free government, one OF
which is Of course that all Just govern
ment is founded. upon the consent of the
governed, and that no minority shall rule
the majority by prescriptive right; an
other resolve declares that free speech,
free persons and free ballot are essential
to liberty and cannot be surrendered. Yet
in the face of these two declarations Mr..
Ross denounces Congress for insisting
that in the rebel States, where new gov
ernments are to be formed, free speech,
free persons and free ballots shall be Sc
cured to all the people, and because Con-
gress, recognizing these essentials to liber-
ty, win consent to no governments there
which deny these to the people. Mr. Ross
cannot recite any portion of the Declare
ton of rights without directly sustaining
the policy of the Republican party, and
putting 10 shame the narrow principles Of
the present Democratic party. 8 as.-'i.
