called by tito st. Louis papors, has disappeared
ns suddenly and ancoromoniouhly aa 1t camo into
existence, 'Ustored into being at st. Louis as a
convention. against its protest, 1t broke up at
Now Orleans without making any Bign In That
character.
In tho history OF Congress-, tharo has I'roha-
bly, nover occurred anything
so APPARENTLY 1NExrL1oADLE
as this excursion, or delegation, or convention,
or bummera' sproe, as people havo varionsly
estimated 1t, according to thoir political loan-
ings. The Chicago Times, with ita thoughts
always directed to what is low and moan, charac-
torizes 1t as aprce Of Congressional doad-boata;
The Now York Tribune has pronounced tho
"Conyention" failure, aud stopped right
thoro; and other papers have received
L as the dispatches l1avo represented n,-and
nothing moro. That tho oxcursion was some-
Thing moro than all this, will presently DO soon.
During tho last session Of Congress-, An In
diam Representative and all Iowa Koprssonta-
1.-Two sat chatting over tho
AFFAIRS OF THE wEsr.
Tie noccaalty for tho st. Lawrenco ronto to the
Northwest, and OF tho Mississippi route to tho
Southwest was talked over; tho apparent i'm
possibility Of ever getting Congress, Us body,
to understand this necessity, lamented; and the
dosirability Of doing something to onlighton tho
nations representatives agreed on.
Said he Of Indiana; "Why cannot we bring d
few Of
THE WESTERN MEMBERS TOGETHER,
IN somo way, privately, md talk tho thing over
comfortably, Us soon Us tho soasion is oyer3"
said hc Of Iowa: "You cannot do it without
attracting attention, aud arouaing opposition
and suspicion"
And they won't thoir several Ways, growing
about
THE TYRANNY OF TIE EAST,
and awearng that tho Northwest WIS cruoily ILL
used, aud tho Southwest hastonfng to condt-
tiou Of ruin; TINT immigration must forever
cease; that a nun might as vol stop raieing
corn that it didn't matter what became Of tho
currency question; mud that protection was
sound that no longer possessed charm for
their aars.
1t yas impossible that these grow1ors should
continue OIL in this way
WITHOUT ATTRACTING SYMPATHY.
Those who sat nearest to them on tho Con-
crcssional bonches; thoao who were from tho
samo section of country Us themselves those
who we're from other soctfona that folt in Hono-
what tho same way as they did; those who ara
fond of change; those who smell the junkotfng
