The fact that the neat Congress will
have on its rolls eighty-tvo Conieder-

twenty-six officers and soldiers OF the

Democracy are bowling over the des-
potism of the g%osernment, aud the
oppression Of the conquered South, q
fact like this is worthy Of more than
a passing notice. 1t proves not only
the utter emptiness Of the cry against
the Republic, but it shows to the
world a spirit Of magnanimity un-
precedented ia its history, and 1t
further attests the sentiment control
