Congress and the Message.
From the ". Y. Times.


We wish Congress would bear in mind that
IT takes two to quarrel. The Presidents s
Message is document as well calculated to
provoke saint as could we'll be concoeted.
But Congressman would have proved them
selves to be saints more efecGually If they had
refused to be provoked. That the message of
the President OF the United States, sent into
Congress in pursuance of his constitutional
duty, should be read to that body is a matter
of course. That body is not responsible for
its character. 1t cannot be hurt by its temper
or tone. Congress is not, or ought
not to be, SO sensitive as TO make
its reading painful or if it is, the cou-
rage of Congress ought to be equal to the
emergency. If an Indian chief can be rid
died to pieces with arrows without hinching
if a Christian martyr can sing psalms
while being burned at the stake-and if q
deni2en of Delaware or Sing Sing can endure
the tortures of the whipping post without
becoming insane, Congress ought to be able
to submit to the reading of the Presidents s
message without unseemly cOntortions or
other indications either of rage or pain The
message certainly is scurrilous, but Congress-
did not write it. 1t was designed to be
offensive and insulting, but it is not
necessary for Congress to regard and resent
an insult as personal wrong. Congress has
a dignity, both official and personal, that re-
lieves it from that necessity. We cOncede
that Congress is not obliged to listen to an
offensive dooument--if it were, there would
be no merit in doing it. But we think it
would have been wiser, more becoming, and
more dignited to have done so aud then to
have expressed, just as freely and as formally
as it should see fit its opinion of its character.
The resentment actually shown looks too
much like petulance-just and natural, per-
haps, but unseemly. It looks like the act OF
a man stupg bya wasp, .or child teased into
wrath by malicious cOmrade.

Wanted-A Few More Hundred Thousand
NiggerSs
From, the ". Y. Herald.

FROM ute ". 7. Herald.
Our President in his message to Congress
indicates somewhat tilibustering spirit when
he says, 81 am satisfied that the time has
arrived when even so direct proceeding as a
proposition for an annexation of the two re-
publics of the island of st. Domingo would
not only receive the consent of the peo-
pie interested, but would also give salts
faction to all other foreign nations" Is
this grim joke on the part of our Execu-
tive The radicals have had such dose
of African backing that their opposers now
wish to surfeit them to the point of reaction.
To annex ST. Domingo is to add to our trou-
bles, and increase our population by halt a
million of negroes fully educated to revolu-
tionary turmoil. They would make an excel
lent element for the carpet-baggers to work
upon. A large aristocratic faction predom-
mates there, and grand duke will black your
boots while his duchess does your washing.
Congo is also well represented, and our mis-
sionaries will find an excellent field of labor in
the correction of voodooism and fetichsm ex-
listing among these natives. Altogether there
are numerous arguments in support of this
broad niger view of our President. Let us,
by all means, annex the island.

AChicken and Celery Convention.
From The ~. y. Worid.
The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Ant-Slavery Society met in Philadelphia on
Thursday. As there is no slavery in this
country, excepting the subjugation of intelli-
gent, tax paying white citizens to their black
barbarian rulers at the South, or the slavery
OF ignorance so prevalent in the schoolhouse-
less Republican counties in this State, or the
slavery which oompels white children to work
IN the Massachusetts factories from twelve to
fifteen hours day, we should conclude that
the fresh war of anti slavery was to be waged
against Cuba, or against the savagery of
slavery which the free Republic of Liberia in
Africa, is now trying to suppress, If the
Ami-Sta00y Standard which publishes
the call for the meeting, did not en-
tighten us as to the fresh wrongs which
threaten our own colored man and brother
The freedom of that unfortunate aud trouble
some individual, We are told, is not yet con-
summated, and ''the present condition of the
country, the testimony to the fearful peril
OF the Colored population in the South which
is constantly borne by themselves and their
hlends who witness it, urges us by the
strongest motives TO work nightly for the
consummation of their freedom" But how
is this mighty work to be performed? Hap
puy, we are informed. 1t is by the support of
the STANDARD, and the Standard, we are told,
can only be supported by lavish contributions
OF coffee, tea, sugar, oysters, celery, boiled
chickens (for salad), eggs, butter, cream,
biscuits, cake Especially homemade
cake" which the announcement says twill
be gladly received, not by the oolored suf-
ferer, but by the Standard. Here is some
thing as yet undiscovered by Ude or Soyer
or Blot. Mr.. Wendell Phillips is to assimi-
Lot II i ~ - 2
celery, and homemade cake, and forthwith
the freedom OF the coored population of the
South is to be finally secured. Much salad
for Phillips is more suffrage for the negro;
cold-boiled chickens for the Standard are the
consummation OF liberty and happiness for
Sambo. As this collection of chickens aud
celery seems, then, to be the immediate object
of the Anti-slavery Convention of this year, it
will be curious to see how this chicken and
celery collection will ultimate result in the
contamination of the freedom OF the colored
man.

point of view, and with strict reference to
their bearing upon legitimate enter
prise and prosperity. The resumption Of
specie payments has been discussed at
great length, and the relative merits and
feasibility of the plans most generally advo-
Gated have been carefully balanced. The con-
clusions eventually arrived at, therefore
represent the matured judgment of body
whose experience predisposes it to reject the
speculative and to accept only that which
seems most likely to divest An unpleasant
process OF unnecessary embarrassments.
The Board has decided, by three fourths
vote, that it is expedient for Congress to de-
termine the time at which resumption shall
take place. The time, however is not indi-
Gated in the resolution adopted. BY a similar
vote the action OF Congress is invoked to com
pei the national banks to accumulate the gold
they may hereafter receive in the shape of
interest on bonds deposited with the Govern
ment, and a proposal to impose the same
policy of accumulation on the Treasury is
sustained by majority of the delegates. En-
phatic approval is also given to the principle
OF measure legalizing gold contracts; while
On opinion is expressed adverse to the re-
demption of bonds until after specie payments
shall have been restored.
Except upon single point-that relating to
the liking OF time for resumption-it will be
seen that the majority of the Board hold opi-'
Mons identical with those of the Times. The
boarding of gold is regarded as an essential
preliminary to resumption. and the unde-
slrableness OF allowing the banks to sell their
gold is clearly recognized. Business men
averse to hasty action and to discrimination
for which there is not even plausible reason,
are not willing to encounter the responsibili-
ties of resumption unless the national banks
fully share the preparedness of the Treasury.
Their demand for permission to buy and sell
for gold at pleasure is equally just, and we
trust will not long remain unSatisfed.

The commercial intelligence of the country
has been well represented in the deliberations
OF the National Board of Trade, for some days
in session at Cincinnati. Party politics have
had no Influence in its proceedings. The
delegates present have represented the varied
business interests of all sections, and the sub
jects that have engaged their attention have
been considered solely from the practical
