The Soutl.srn Congressional .Elections. . The "World. of yesterday, ?ayr lie New York News of tbe*22d ult, repiten to eur comments ripon the threat which it held out to Southern constituencies a.fews days ago, that if they didndt demonstrate "their un qualified submissiveness'' . to the North, by electing to Congress^ such mon-aseouU swear, that they hid-been her worst enemies during the terrificjitruggle through which sha" has: passed, not only Would her representatives ba denied admission to their seats', but' their States-would continuo to be held, in a.condi tion of territorial bondage, and andee milita ry rule. . - We would hardly haye refrained to tread, upon su?ii doliente grciiud as this, br td hava. given our advice to the people of the Soma fn a matter ; which so peculiarly . concerns themselves, if j we. had not feared, that the wide-spread reputation, of the .World for opn^ servatism and moderation might miulead the South as to the real sentiment of the North on $0 grave a matter. To. pr?tent this, we assured the South, as we again assure her, that the No-th does not demand any such self-abasemcmt and humiliation on ber part. Tho World now shifts its ground, and ba?es its advice mainly upon the-act of 1862. We are;very .?erlain-thu,t if this act had any valid ity even as to the Congress which enacted it (and we think that it bad none) it certainly cannot be held binding upon any subsequent Congress, and cannot possibly be enforced to the exclusion from the next Congress of any member who, having the quaiiGcatious pre scribed by the' Censtitution,'may. be. duly elected thereto. But if the next Congross ahall, contrary to Our belief, hold that it is atilt ia force, we are very sure .that it will hasten to repeal it. Every one, except the extreme Radicals, will be opposed to its enforcement, and these will not care to usa so public and ineffective a weapon. They do not wish to es elude, any particular class of Southern-Representatives, but to deny all representation ta the Southern States until these shall purchase their' com p?ete restoration to tho Union by granting the r'ght of suffrage to the freedman : But even conceoding .that the next Con gress will enforce the law of IS 62, or re-en act it, we still maintain that the South cannot consistently with ber self respect or interest, J ?end to Congress the class of men who caa 7 tlte the ?BMH- -tva mm mmmm mim+mmm mUmmtm not be. represented at all than that she should voluntarily send to Congress men who have been false to her during the momentous coa fiict of the last Lur years, and between whom and the vast majority of their constitu ents there can be neither sympathy uor con fidence. If there is ever to be a Congress in which ihe South will need her ableat aud most de voted sous, that Congress, will ba tho nvxt. It is already lilied with mon who ware elected nuder the influence of the irobittered feelings which were so recently prerailing, and few, very few, of them are yet disposed to be mag nanimous or as just as they should be to their more prostrate foe. Why roqiiire the South to increase the number of these ene mies by seuding from nor own midst those who would be even more dangerous to ?er peace? Some Southern men may delude themselves with the idea that this would be only a tem porary concession to the office seeking nane gades in their midst; that to all subsequent Congresses they would be able to saud mau who would more faithfully represent thea ? But is it not mere probable that these mea will rather perpetuate and add to the disabil ities which the. act of 1862 imposen, and thereby keep tba. offices Within their own Wo again tell^^^^ple.of the South that they ought to plant themselves upon tho Con stitution, to whese protection they will bara been restored before.they can voto, ead rely ing npon jts'powor.and upon the patriotism and good sense of the President, uni the grow.iug moderation and justice of thc North, to send to Congre?? their truest, best and wisest men, regardless pfthe act of 186?. THE OATH or LOYALTT?-In Julv, 18ti3, a law was passed by Congress requiring this following oath of " every person elected or .appointed to any office of honor or emolument civil, rrijlitary or naval/or any other-depart11 ment of the public service, except the 'Pr?si dent of Ihe United States," tb. wit :-. I solemnly swear that I have never volun- ! Uri ly. borne arms against the United States ? since I have boen a citizen "thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid) countenance^ counsel or encouragement to persons engag ed in armed hostility thereto; thar 'I Dem*' neither sought nor accepted, ?or ntt'eup^ed to exercise the functions of any ottfee what ever qn^er any authority or pretended an-'j ihorlty in hostility to the United States ; that I have not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended government;" huthority, | E" owor or constitution within tte United S^a^ari oatile or inimical thereto^ aqd I de /uriher j swear that to tho best of my kpowjedge aad: abijity I'Tftll'Kqpport s^d'deferid the cob ?ti tuban of the United States, tc. This is the oath, which tho members of the '?ait Congress* were required"'to. take, and which unless changed, (h? member of the WW Congress will-oe required ?ho to take. The Republicans have a large majority in boih Houses. Now the whole matter rests with them. We are in their hands yet. Ur? less they consider the President's amnesty as wiping cut aU offences connacted with the late revolution,'br modify th? oath in- same/ way, It will bu very difficult for anymah who maybe elected at tho South to gain' admis sion.
