Along this track ,sctt 'cments AMI towns are

Meeting of Congress.

Congress is probably again in session.
The knowing ones in Washington said
there would be quorum of both houses
present by Monday noon, the time APP
pointed. Very likely it will not be a
legislative session, but an adjournment
will be carried to meet in October. The
reason why Congress thus meets, only
to adjourn in few hours, is an under
current which may, if left unrestrained,
cause us much trouble. The Democrats
and the administration are making ar
ranqements to have all the unrecon-
structed rebels in the rebel States cast
their vote for President. Even in Vir-
ginia, though unrepresented in Con
gress, arrangements are made to hold
these sham elections. Perley, of the
Boston Journal, says:
If congress is adjourned sine die on the 21st'
this plot will be made public and will be car
ried out To thus illegally chose set fpres-
idential electors. to conspire with such electors
as the nothern Democrats may here and there
secure would DO the inauguration of another
civil war, in which tho rebel element would be
prominent. 1.-THE northern Democrats coward
" deserted us in 1861" say these unrepen-
tsnt traitors, notwithstanding their pledges.
and promises, but we shall stand by them now,
and, if united, we can establish Democratic
rule, which is the next best to our southern
confederscy." There is positive evidence that
the compact has been made, and that Andrew
johnson is pledged to lend the aid of his Off
cial position to carry it out and to thus again
plunge the country into civil war, for the
loyal men Of the Forth would not, Of course,
taney submit to such illegal tyranny But
Congress stands like lion in the path o''t..
would traitors. Its very preserc"
post Of duty will doubtless alarm the COY
tors, and lead to cowardly abandorm' -.
the revolutionary scheme. Should it
otherwise. the people viii find their chosen
ators and representatives equal to tue cris >,
and Congress will. by timely legislation, Sc
cure the purity of the ballot box from being
dsfied by southern rebels and northern cop
perhesds
just a. We go to press we learn that
Congress met at noon yesterday, and
Immediately adjourned over until the
10th of October.

A SoutheIner,s View.

There are true men and patriotic men
at tho South, men that realize and
most deeply deplors the short sighted
policy Of prescription and persistent
hostility to the government. and who
rejoice IN the success of the Republican
party-the party Of progress. The fol-
lowing Is from, Kentuckian, by birth
and residence, and who speaks from a
thorough knowledge OF Southern cha
racter and so-called principles
1 feel glad to hear OF improvement
anywhere; if we cannot have much
here, let others enjoy the benefits OF
progress. Such is the political condition
of Kentucky that we shall not have
much pros4oa.; Of any kind until things
change very much. In many parts OF
the state the Democrats, alias rebels,
are so vindictivo that Union men dare
not say much, and many of them, | am
sorry to say, have lost their manhood
have made lickspittles Of themselves,
and turned over to the enemy. If such
is man, how few can stand up for the
truth against domineering majority.
am glad that your noble little state did
so Wei Ter the cause OF truth IN the late
election. How it is possible for Nor
thern man to be q modern Democrat
never could tell or even conceive Ger.
tainly they do not know the truth
The so-called Democratic party has
not a single principle in common with
the old Jackson democracy. The pres
ent Rebel democracy, lis democracy
only in name. The past history of oul
country presents two seemingly antag
onistic facts one is that the north has
been aggressive in impressing on tn,
Southern mind and civilization, som,
of their institutions, some of the need
of domestic and rural life. Whilst tn,
South has been intensely aggressive il
impressing or the Northern mind tn
peculiar politics arising out of tn
institution of slavery, and which hat
for so many years ruled the nation a
with rod of iron, with only an out
side show of democracy, with jus
enough to sweeten the bitterest an
most anti-democratic pill ever swal
lowed by free people. have oftel
thought that the Northern Democrat
have been for many years, the mos
easily gulled, the most docirous to b
ruled over, and the worst lickspitties o
the face Of the earth.

and though all the returns are not ~

majority four years ago, rendering it
certain that the state will give $4,000 Or
80, 900 for Grant and Colfax in Novem-
Der. Maine and Vermont indeed have
done well, and to the other states that
holG their elections before November
we can only say, go and do likewise.
The governor chosen in Maine is Gen
i'll. Chamberlain, reelected and the
republicans also have all the five con-
gressmsn as follows: John Lynch Sam

A. Peters and Eugene Hale, -Messrs

nearly all the county officers and larg,
majority OF the members of both
branches of the Legislature. The result
in Maine has been received with the
greatest enthusiasm all over the country
and ifthere were any republicans befor,
who had any doubts Of the success o

are none now.

A Bristol Democrat, writing to the
Argus, gives two very good reasonswhy
Lincoln did not poll a single Democra-
tie vote. First--the Democratic vote
was so small that the Republicans threw
it out. Second-the Democrats had
been so bullied that they didn't vote at
all, although there were plenty who
might have voted.
