You aro aware
that the: PrekeVe 'Congressional Session
has been, thus far, and likely tCrbe until
its close, the most important ever held.
The necessity -of providing a form of
Government_for the rebel States, where,
by-the lives and property of loyal Union .
meb 'May be made safe, must be met.—
The-time was, -when rebels would have
gladly accepted any- terms . from , . the-
Government. - Their cry then was:—
" What will ,we-get?".- Now the cry is :-
-" What will we take ?" Holding this 1
defiant:tone,and backed up by a recreant
Exeeutive ; :the great and pressing diffi
culties
of Congress are apparent to every
unpredjudiced* mind. -'To - the accom
plishlngof these dutieS,4 one have entered_
with_ more zeal, than that noble - old man
—the " Great Commoner," from Lancas- .
ter County. Pressed by years, and an
enfeebled frame, he has " rallied ,once
again," the straggling forces of radical
ism to successful issues.. The •Pemocrat
in paity' is now,as they have been through
the war,,a unit, determined as ever if
they cannot rule to ruin; anxious for'
the admission of rebels to seats in both
houses of Congress, that they may be
strew , in meueTs, to thwart wholesome
legislation ; gild
_irpossible, take the,reins
of government in their own - l-lianils,' - ' If
the Republicans are true td'their country
and their constituents, such, calamities
will be avoided. ' '
Just now the Government;Clerical force
is wonderfully' exercised about the 20
per cent. additional, promised by Con-
Tess. This bill passed the House and
Then went to the Senate. . Monday even
ing, the 11th inst., was made special for
the consideration of said bill. You may
well guess that the interested—whose
name is Legion—were present. I have
never seen 'the Senate Chamber so
densely crowded
,as it was on that night,
for the debate,cieamendmeutS to:the bill,
ran into'flie" night. SUch an array of
" Government Rats," noxiously lookine
to the Senators in whose hands their 2'o
per cent. cheeSe lay. It was laughable
and yet painful- to see seine of - the Sena
tors, evidently the worse for liquor. He of
California, who has so long disgraced the
Senate, was not alone in his bestiality.
Tennessee was also misrepresented by
him who could with such wonderful fa
cility, swallow the " Iron Cltid 'Oath"
after serving the rebels in a judicial
capacity. To see this miserable man
pouring ink over his documents—mis-•
taking in his drunkeness, the ink-bottle
fur the sand box—was enough to cause
explosions of laughter in the galleries.
Thank God a better day has dawned. A
" Congressional Temperance Society" has
.Been formed. On Sunday evening last,
this Society held,its first public meeting
in the hall of the House of Representa
tives. Senator Wilson occupied the
chair. It has been my good fortune to
see the hull of the House well filled by
the wise and . excellent of the land, when
the Christian Commission celebrated its
; anal v ersa . ri&t , ",..,Thenee clew on . Sin ay
.everiiiii*Ml• , ' OfiliiVii - l'avolikly- - -' - th
\ \c
Thuse
assemblies. of the past." The 'or
of the House was fully occupied ; tie
galleries, as . usual on such occasions,
were literally packed. After, a solemn
address by the Chairman, the Flonorables-
H. - Price, of lowa ; Senator Yates, of
Illinois; Speaker Colfax; Walbridge, of
' Vermont ; McKee, of Kentucky ; Dodge,
of, New York; and- Patterson, of New
Hampshire, addressed the audience.—,
When the name:of the Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens was mentioned as ono who had
been a strict temperance man for up
wards of thirty years. -and who would
have been one of the Speakers, had his
health permitted, the assembly showed
„their appreciation of the man by - rounds
of applause. Towards the close of the
'meeting - Mr., Van Meter, from the
Children's Houle, in New York, entered
the hall, and with him ten orphan girls.
These little. ones sang some, of their
pretty songs, arid were loudly applauded.
There will bea,siwilarineeting held next
Sunday evening, - in the 1-louse. May
the good work -prosper. ' -

question; for the futUre, - With probabilities
in'her ; but in' breadth of thought
and -expansiveness - of .mitid, in strength of
intellect and sturdy er:lt/ranee, she must
yield to the west. Irving says in some
of his writing 'thattlie:minds of a people,
partake of the nature of their surround

reason for the facts that lead to the &m
-ein:ions just stated.
Of New, England birth and education,
and partaking of soiree of the prejudice
incident thereto, I -hold her memory
.most sacred.; but the western mind, looks
upon' her-as a small patch' in an obscure
corner,of the
. country, and is often
to give her - credit for what she
is. • This is' not true of the more '
intelli

,of feeling any
enVy . of Boston, NeW York or -.Philadel
phia, she begins to feel an independence
of them, and that she can afford to be
generous as well as just. Although far
behind•the east;'in schools and colleges
of the higher order, the common school
,system prevails nearly. as generally as. in
New England, and thereis where the
masses dour people are educated. The
colleges of-the west are inferior, but are
more numerous.--- The east has more ac:

natural wealth. The accumulated capital
of the east, can . readily
,be doubled_in the
West:- - If-is 'there Worth six- per cent.
when loaned outwhile here it commands
ten, and often fifteen - per cent. The idle,
capital of the east is needed to develop
the
. exhaustless riches of the west,
whether agricultural or mineral.
The great subject cf interest now
moving in the west is the improvement
of our rivers. This is an old question,
and one which, in a, general sense, has
always. until within a , few years, been
opposed by the democratic party. I
think it was Calhoun who declared that
the , principle of his party, that the
GoVerument could not stoop to improve
all its rivers, was a good one, but it could
not apply to the • MiSsissippi, which is
more like a great inland sea. The wis
dom and propriety of improving at lent
the Ohio, the Missouri, and the Mis
sissippi, is now generally conceded by
men of all parties It would besingulitK,
indeed, if' the National Government bud
the power to .appropriate $100.000,000
to aid in building a thoroughfare from
the east to the west, and had no power to
appropriate, perhaps, one tenth that
amount to improve the great national
thoroughfares, established, free of cost,'
between the north and the south, over
which our products, agricultural and
mineral,can be transported to our eastern,
or even the European, seaboard, for less
than the cost by rail - from Chicago to
New York. " DRUID."

WESTAR'S BALSAM OF - WELD
CHERRY.
This remedy has long been cherished by the
community for its roma. ktible efficacy' in relieving,
healing and curing the most obstinate, painful and
long-standing enses of Cough, Gbtd, Influenza, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis, Mooping Cough, Croup, riathout,
Inflammation of the Lungs; while even Consumption

that the past has produced no remedy of equal
value, as a cure for the numerous and dangerous
pulmonary affections which prevail all over the
land.-
Ull olicited Testimony.
From AxonEa - ARCSER, ESQ., of Fairfield, Me.
"About eight year. si nee_ my son, Henry A. Archer.
now Postmaster at Fairfield, Somerset county, Me..
was attached with spitting of blood, cough, weak
ness of Lungs, and general debility,su much so
that our family physician declared tam to have a
"SKATED Coxsustsrlost." Ile was under medical treat
ment for a number of months, but received no bene
fit ft om it. At length, from the solicitation of him
self and others, I was induced to purchase one bottle
of WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, whien
benefitted him so much I_obtained another bottle,
which in a short time restored, him to his usual
state of health. 1 think 'I can - Safely recommend
this-remedy to others in like condition, for it is, I
think, all it purports to be—The Great Lung _Remedy
for the Times!
The above statement, gentlemen. is my voluntary
offering- toyou in favor of your Balsam, and is at
your-disposal."

SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.
This medicine 'invented by Dr. J. fl. Schenck, of
Phila•lelphia. is intended to dissolve the food and
make itinto chyme, the first process of digestion.
By cleansing the stomach with Schencles Alan
drake Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appetite.
and food that could not be eaten before using it will
be easily digested.
• Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's Pif . .-
monic 6yrup unless the stomach and liver, is made
healthy and the appetite restored, hence the Tonic
and Pills are required in nearly case of consump
tion. A hilfdozen bottles of the Seaweed Tonic and
three or four boxes of the Mandrake Pills will cure
any ordinary case of dyspepsia.
Dr. Schenck, makes professional visits in Nfiw
York, Ito-tonand at his principal Office in Philadel
phia every week. See daily papers of each place or
his pamphlet on consumption for his days of visita

Please observe, , when purchasing, that the two

of Consumption, and the other as he now is, in per
