fTEOXESOAY, Xorember 28t 1855-

COX GRK9S*

One week from next Monday, the Congress •of this confederate Union meets at Washingvcton. Despite the wish of fanatics, the Representatives of all the States, still assemble in the District of Columbia. That spot, hallow

Mecca,

t'l

right.

But one we«k from Monday CongrMi assembles—tho great cyo of the Nation will oonvtine at tho Capitol, and be looking in every direction to protect the public good. And thcu twenty millions of little eyes, scattered all over this Union, will be watchiug the Representative to see if ho discharges tho trusts confidcded to him. Each citizen becomes a sovereign, and each member of CongmsM a sorvant, as soon as the House is organised.— The transmutation is very quiet*^ and supposed not to be vory unpleasant, especially to the Representative.

View of tho City of Tcrre-IIautc. We have just had left at our aauctum, Mr. J. T. PALMATA**'# "View of tho City of Terre-Haute." So far as we have been able to discover. It is correctly drawn, and ia a beautiful miniature representation of our Prairie City—almost every houso »a represented, and «o truthfully, that the familiar eye can recognize them at first glance, The broad prairie, ia the back ground, broken here and there by tho Canal, Railroads, Plaqk-roads, graveled roads, and dotted alt over w$U» those natural groves, presents a fine appearance.— The bridges running across the river and the steamboats playing to and fro, look as natur-

office, shop, store and dw-elSing.

being free. The circuntstances under which the Hepre•cntatives of the people assemble this session, while they are not strikingly peculiar, still are enough to awaken the liveliest interest in the mind of every one. Distracting elements ,, have been thrown among the people—bitter feelings engendered, and scctional animosities fostered. The South ever jealous of her institut ions, burns in anger against the North, and the North, persistive in her principles, raises the b»tt.lc-ax against the South. Upon all this.it will be tho duty of Congress to pour the healing balin—do justice to the North and what is ri^ht towards the South.

Xo man should ever presume, a.i a member of ai Legislature, to represent a body of of freemen, unless he felt willing to sacrifice

rishes and his personal"feelings for the good of his enstituents—upon the altars of his common country. A representative government, is not one where tha exponcut'carries out his own desires, but it is whore the peoplo's wishsros arc regardud and never violated. It is the sovereign elector, speaking through tho elected—the constituent speaking through his ngent, whom he has sent ,wiih a trust, and whose duty it is to faithfully discharge that

trust. It was a wise consideration of the early fra-

Tho question whether Reeder or Whitfield nhall have a seat in the Hall of tho Houso of Representatives—whether slavery shall go k»rth of tho Missouri Compromise line, or forever remain ?«uth, is not of as much importance to the American people, as whether the Congress of the United States, will in their deliberations, do

mors of our institutions, that the terms of our I running over—there was not ono too many, Representatives in Congress, should net

No roan is 'capacitated alone by blood to make laws— blood and brains are two differcut things—he may have, coursing through his arteries, the blood of a noble ancestry, hut that blood may give vitality to a very muddy brain. To make good laws, geniu" is required, but you can only rely on blood, for a generous fellow.

Prom the hour the article we published a few days ago, first made its appearance in tha London Times, up to the present moment, there has been a clamor among the masses in England, and by the rest of the English press, against it.

John Bull saw at first glance, that a war with this country would not prove profitable, and the ministry were forced into a pacific ex-

ally rob Britain of some of her laurels. The child of 76 and of 1819, had ripened into full grown manhood, and a pitch of his lance might now, at its first fling, bury its barb, full into the heart of her rampant lion.

England ought to have known, that any war-like demonstration on her part towards this country, would have been met with the stern determination to resist, as long as there was a drop of Anglo American blood, warm in any (nan's veins.

England ought to have known, that a war with us, would, within one month after its declaration, have caused five hundred thousand bristling bayonetts to have flashed along her Canadian lorders—would have converted our ships of tonnage into men-of-war —woul have swept her navy from the seas, as the tornado sweeps the leavos of tbe forest, from the

But the blissful vision has been dispelled— England concludes uot to fight, and although "our voice is still for war," yet wo suppose we must "turn our thoughts on pcace.'i,

Tho Entertainment for the Poor. Every person was at Coriuthian Hall last evening. It was a brilliaut collection of the beauty of our queenly city. We have never before seen so large a number in any one room in Terre-Haute—the Hall was brim full and

but the room was entirely too small.

We were glad to seethe interest manifested by every one—each heart, beat warmly for the poor —each eyo beamed with delight, when it surveyed the gay throng that hemmed up the aisles, and crowded the spacious room.

The Ladies, ever ready with an open hand to bestow alms where they are uecded, camo with their pittance, and gave it to the poor.— With a willing heart they gave, and then looked up for their reward.

What a comment was this entertainment, upon tho generosity of the citizens of TerreHaute. A

days ago the press announced,

that duribg the approaching winter, penury and want would overtake somo of the unfortunate of our city. Steps were at once taken for tlnoir reliof and all, with one noble christian impulse, determined to bestow, at least, the "widow's mite." Men, whose heads wort whitened by the frost* of many winters—ladies, whoso domestic duties usually require their attention at home—the little boys and misses, all, all wore there. All felt it was right, all enjoyed the occasion, and all went home to uurso in their glad hearts, the glorious consciousness of having done a good act—of having discharged one of those duties imposed on us by our very natures the relieving of the distressed.

We will not undertake to say how many were thero—we arc not very good in addition when there are so many figures to be enumerated—h*t it seemed to us, that no one was left at home. What were the nett proceeds, we have pot been informed, but it must bs considerable enough, at least, to carry joy to many a widow's heart to dry the tear that sparkle6 HI the eye and runs down the orphan's cheek, r.

Like the dew that doseendsupon'tfte mountain—like the refreshing rain lhat gives color to the rose, and fructifies and invigorates the earth, does a generous act, a good deed mould and fashion the affections of men, beautify and invigorate the heart, until at lastit ripens into universal love, and the rich fruition of earthly happiness.

The very acceptable committee who now have charge of this fund, can, whenever it is necessary, call another entertainment, and we will guarantee that the required assistance will be forthcoming. There is no mistaking the feeling of our citizens on this aubjeet.

The bid for the painting was a very generous bid, and the donati«n of the painting was a very generoos donation, but the.// deitars, that one of oar old and much respected citi* tens, placed so quietly in the hands of one of the committee, does much honor to the man,

We wonder at tho Journal not knowing what's up. Thc Federal and State Courts are in session, and all those who make politics a trade—all the hroken down Old Line demagogues in the State, resort to the Capitol, in order that they may be placed on the juries—get a baliff's situation, or act as a general witness. Like vultures hovering round a carcass, they assemble at Indiaoapolis about this season of the year—set their political triggers and draw enough from Uncle Sam's treasury and the treasury of the Stato, to pay all ex-

penses. It is at those promiscuous gatherings, that the candidates for all the State offices are °Pe- '1!n

Clerical Askings*

On the third day's session of the Free Constitutional Convention now in session at Topeka, in Kansas, a petition was received from a clergyman in Leavenworth, asking that a clause be inserted in the Constitution, making all the Ministers of the Gospel, excepting Catholics, eligible to office. It was uuanirooosly laid on the table.—Ex.

What more is necessary to demonstrate the corrupt and abomioafele aims of the Know Nothing party than the steady, yet stealthy movements or their PROTESTAXT leaders?—Protestant ministers who pretend that they have bad a calling from On High to preach the Gospel of the meek and lonsly Saviour, find it too narrow for their bigoted aims, and while they wear the white cloak of Peace upon their shoulders, snatch up the black mantle of political strife, and with disunion Tracts folded in t^eir hands, while tbe Bible is stowed awayin.their

we finished the period, and found that thc individual thus described, had "an extremely literary cast of countenance," we concludcd it was certainly meant for Col. C. of the "Journal."

The United States possesses a nucleus of a navy, numbering seventy-four ship* of war and some 5000 and wM yttns. j'fhis is not a very large navv, as compar|ed tvith Great Britain and France. Hut let it not be forgotten that the mamiimt* I shipping of the United States rivals our own in tonnage. The Untied States are '4 in a position to lit out a superb ileet fioa* the merchant navy, composed of sailing vessels and steamers, 'the ocean would

Americans, on tho contrary, possess the finest organised militia in the world. Their riilcmcn are laultless. It is not loo much to say that, within one month of a declaration of hostilities, the A trier i' cans could, and would, muster an army of five hundred thousand men on tbe British frontiers. And, although hastily summoned to arnn, they would not bo raw recruits, as ours, but well-trained soldiers, for each ono, in his adveuturings in the back-woods, has handled the rifle with unerring aim bivouacked, winter and summer, in the forest and the prairie pioneers of the wilderness men inured to danger and hardship—trained with tin: lon^ rifle in hand from earliest boyhood their own commissiarats and engineers at home in every position—whether trailing the wild Indian or engaged in tin bear or moose hunt—on foot or on horseback—on the "long cob" or in the canoe wild, determined, fearless, wiry, up to every work cach and every one of whom considers himself tit to be President or Commander-in-chief—such would form the rank and tilo of an army of 500,000 down-Kastcr on our frontiers and work well too.

The Americans are peculiarly a military nation. They posaess thc qualifications for generalship, in which we ary grievously deficient. Then: are hundred* amongst them who could command an army of invasion with thc most bi illiant genius. They are fully up to their work, as soldiers aud, as tacticians, thoy have not one what degenerated from their lathers who drove us from the Unio:i in 177G, and combatted with u.s in IBM.

An American army would advance, from Maine into New iJrunswiclc, and St, John and Frcderickton would fall without a blow. Another army would simultaneously cross the St. Lawrence, and invest Montreal and Quebec. From New York State, Kingston and Toronto would bo summoned to surrender'. The lakes would swarm with American armed steamcra. Bombard New York, and the citics of tho Canadas would be razed to the ground. The knowledge of this fact forim the strongest fortifications nccessary to protect thc Atlantic cities. No power we have in the Canadas, with all their loyal inhabitants, could preserve them to ir. They would be invaded at fifty points at and-in otic great combined move-
