Or is the revolution referred I man for the purpose ol dividing it, and' I m to prevent which all the people of all the! land, were made mourners, and future generations burdened with untold millions of debt? A-d this is the involution in which, by this monstrous bill, the gontioman calls upon his fiieuds, and his party; i t . i it i to luily participate and concur, lievo.ution it iMrevolution to break up and dii I n.-ilriaVdt iiicoiKTiiitii's und desnotie tirovisions ol the Constitution. What people ? Not the southern secc?fiohist certainly, because there was no with all its "inconguit'cs ;" they are willing tho Kcpulic tdiould stand. They have given upthe revolution, and the crentleman and his party followers, by this bill, have taken it up and propose that it s'iall n .t -ubidc till the "palpable incongruities" of the Constitution arc removed.

The President refuses to go with the ccntlennn and his followers into a -'full ; . anj concurrence" in the rev olution inauguiatcd by the rebellion, and this measure is to reduce him to obedience; to bring him into accord with tho will of the m-.ijority of this Congress ; to simplify the Clovenmiunt by striking down or usurping the powers of the co-ordinate department.
