We learn that this was the first of a series of these delight ful reanions, and feel confident that all who enjoyed it will await the second with pleas- urable impatience. able corollary of the bold effort to ignore the political existence of the Southern half of the confederacy, is the lesson it conveys to the Southern opposition masses, who not long since bellowed themselves hoarse over the triumph, in the Congressional elections, of three-fourths of the supporters of Mr. Banks in the late struggle. What American partyism really means where it has strength sufficient to put its heel on Southern rights, is thus made plain. We sincerely believe that every American Mr. Grow, and others of that ilk, insisted on their reference to the Committee on Territo- ries, which had been constituted with especial reference to the work of managing them, (as one of the session’s ends and aims of ‘‘ Repub- lieanism,’’) while Messrs. Cobb, of Ga., Rich- ardson, and others urged their commitment to the Committee of the Whole and the Judi- ciary Committee. On the division, the pseudo “friends of freedom’? were beaten.
