A Chat with the Editor.
NUMBER SIX.

oOieOt When the Rouse Olit went through that
body, there was evidently great forbearancc
exercised, aud a sotcning down of tone and
temper in the speeches, that this great boon 10
the southern rebels might not longer remain a
bone of contention, especially as the presden.
tial canvass was likely 10 affect number of
those whe hold seats in Congress by virtue of
the people. But 1t ~ giving Mr.. Sumner too
much credit to admit him as the slayer of the
hopes and expectations of the many thousands
affected by the bill in question. The fact is,
Mr.. Reed, the wide range of discussion which
has ensued has aroused apprehension not only
on the part of the people, but raised doubts
among honorable Senators that the time has
not yet arrived when the rebels can be rcstor-
ed to all their iorfe ed rights, without prOyd-
ing against the contingencies which Mr. Sum-
ner's bill suggested. Hence the even vote in
Senate, and the casting vote OF the Vice Pres
ident All honor TO Mr.. Colfax for his noble
record upon the bill which was to affect so
great an interest. 1t is indeed safer 10 err on
the side of humanity, than to he found letting
so maAy interests loose TO prey upon the un-
protected of the cou l4y. Why, then, can
the leading journals of the country, and many
OF the Statesmen, in view Of the nicely bal
anced vote of the Senate, ascribe SO much
qredit TO Mr. Sumner in killing the Amnesty
bill?

just The dispositio to carp and snIrl at the
Massachusetts Senator by some Of our cotem-

it but we rather imagine that these who arc
moved by it, suffer more from lis Indulgence

aimed. The SNAIL that thus goes up at about
every move of the distinguished Senator, is
seen 10 arise from chronic disease, and their
SO frequent occurrence and bitterness, are well
calculated to draw upon the commisera,ion
rNther than the indignation of the reader.
Senator Summers reputation and general pat
rio ism and justness, will hardly be reached
by these envcn0med but short-range arrows.
