The Presidents organ in Washington, the

Re,ublicans. as a whole, will admit oil any

They prefer 70 fight It out 10 the House.

House be the place wherein they are most
likely to succeed. What, then, does this
utterauce Of the viIcst of all vile organs
mean: 1t means that the abominaote mea-
sure has partially failed 10 caucRs, aud, Fe-
calling theauccess which they had week or
two ago in aro,ss.ug sectional pre]"Sice'

gers and scalawags have Determined 10 tfy
once more to fire the northern heart, anu
thus force through a bill which not Only has
no merit. but isa plain violation of the Fede-
raj Constitution
"The southern Republicans "leoth the
oress. And WHO are theyS Those OF then
who encourage this new attack upon t'e
Sout, do thereby procasir their "o"h'sR-
famy-they thereby show that they are HOT

Suppose New York were slandcred In Ion

On Massachusetts, traducet: every assssa'

cpon law Of our nstsrc similar to this that
SoLeMesa acted when he 'adisdsed that the
yded between the two, he wei! know
ing that the mother woIid never con-
sent to ssch division. So as to this Infamous
force bill. No true son Of the South will
vote forit. No Vi1g!nian will so degrade
hmself.ss to attempt toput chainsupon his
mother State. SMITH. 'SEsHE, and THOMAS
will no doubt vote against t4e bill, notwith-
standing that they arc Republicans, whilst
PLAVr and sTowELL, whe belong to the class
designated by the New Iofk .Terald as
Is bumRers and hangers.on' '-inen who
are mere adventures in Virginia, who came
hther to ride into Off &c upon the shoulders
OF the poor, foolish wFLrote for it.
The democrats in the House should be
upon their guard from now until Iae 4th of
March. By all means let the Republicans
expose the cnormities OF '(xBANTts force bill
In THEN own way aud in their own language.
Do not rush into the ddbute for the purpose
ofTmak.ng merely party capital, brLremen-
Der that the well.beiug OF the people OF the
whole country is at stake-that, in fact, re-
publican government is on trial AMI about
to fail to stand the test Jt'is not unnatural
that the Republicans should expect
the Democrats to denounee thei: party
for proposing this bill; but it would
DE very ,unwise in the Democrats
to be caught in such trap. The leadiDg
Republicans of the North are disposed to let
the bill fail. If it passes, it will be because
the Democrats play their cards badly. In
fact, if Speaker BLAINE. is really e2posed to
the bill, and chooses to work for its defeat,
it will just rs certainly be de4entodas the at
tempt to alter the two-thirds rule was de
feated so long as BLAINE chose to keep bis
mouth shut. But, at any rate, let the .Deme-
Gratis .aisappoint the adventures, bMmers,
hangers-on, carPet-bagzers, and scaawags,
who have thus shown by their acts that they
hope for more aid to their Hefarious scheme
from the ntemperateneSS aud imRiudeEce of
the Democrats than from the unprcjuaacad
judgments of the northern Repu bleans.
