HOUSE Or REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Colfax said the gentleman from Ohio. Mr.
endleton, asked on Tuesday where are we 1 He
ould answer we are in the Capitol of the United
fates, that Republic which still lives in spite of
snspiracy and treason, of enemies open and co
art, with or without arms in their bands, within
d without our lines, and which, thanks to God
d to our gallant soldiers in the field, will live as
.ng as time shall last At such a time and place,
ith the e4emy almost at the gates of our Capital;
e gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Long, declares that
country is dead and destroyed, and adVocates
:cognition to pluck eleven States from our banner,
receiN e in.that diplomatic gallery an envoy ex
aordmary in the person of Mason or of Beaure
d, representing here a government founded on
r own soil, and the heights of Arlington to
own with hostile batteries menacing our delib
ations at this Capitol. The representative of the
olumbus District, Mr. Cox, called his course
ordinary. He had a parallel and a jastifica
on. That same gentleman announced in the
•me speech that his Democratic colleagues from
hio had met in caucus to disavow the sentiments
his colleague, Mr. Long, and farther than that,
.at he Mr. Cox, was authorized so to declare. It
as as extraordinary that thirteen gentlemen of
e same political party should deem it to be their
.ty to meet In caucus and authorize one of their
tuber to publicly disavow the speech, as for him
• offer the resolution. if that could be done for
.e interest of a party, why should he (Mr. Col
) be criticised for asking the House to solemnly
•pudiate the speech for the interests of the
ntr y
Mr. :Pendleton remarked he did not know there
d been a caucus, and that his colleague, Mr.
ox, had no authority to speak in his behalf.
Mr. Cox remarked—l desire to say that as to the
:netts of Ohio Democrats, although I was not pre
•nt, eleven of my colleagues concurred in and
.thorized the statement that they did not agree
. at the sentiments ettr bided to my colleagae,
r. Long, were the sentiments of the Democracy.
Mr. Colfax, resuming, repeated he had brought
.rward his resolution from an imperative coavic
on ol duty and in accordance with his right as a
•presentaiive. As the occupant of the Chair he
as the servant of the House, but on the floor as a
presentative from Indiana, he was the equal of
others; no more, no less; and he would-not
ye accepted the Speakership If he had to enter
e Chit r tongue•tied and forbidden to speak for
couLtry and his constituents. If his own
other under the stringent oath required for the
t of this Congress had made that speech, he
. ould have pursned the same coarse toward him,
.t that he loved him less, but his country more.
In framing his resolution he had conferred with
. member of this Rouse. He took the responsi
lity alone. The only member to whom he did
ate his purpose was the gentleman from New
a.mpshire (Mr. /Rollins) a- few minutes only
fore he requested him temporarily to occupy. the
•air. But he did consult with one life-long
end after he had mentioned here his purpose.
s friend asked, Do you not know byoffering
.la. resolution you will make yourselt a target of
tack ?" He replied that he had counted the
'' et
and
become a was willing,
of fo att r theack sake of his country,

eredithe resolai ion if the next mome H nt had dr. yen
l into private life.
Before he proceeded to analyze the speech of the
•ntleman from Ohio be desired to refer to some
ing that had been said on the opposite side. The
•ntleman from Ohio (Mr. Cox), while pleased to
eak highly of his fairness as the Speaker of the•
case, said that be had descended from the chair
the floor of the House. If so he had an illus.
ions example in one 'whose shoe latchets he might
.t be worthy to unloose, but who had filled the
at the generosity of the House had given to him
him of the lion heart and esele eye, defamed by
rre whi .. !h- r g, but ht , !ovrd b , all now thif. tc
pasted. to toe spirit land. Mr. Clay, during
T svnioN:
the war of 1812, came down from the 'chair, not
once, but frequently.
' Mr. Mallory (Ky.) supposed the gentleman al
luded to that period of 1812 when Mr. Clay de
scended flora his position to reply to the remarks
of Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts, but Mr. Clay
did not move a resolution of expulsion.
K. Colfax said that in Congress, in 1812 and
1813, Mr. Clay cane down from the chair nine
times to make speeches at one session, and six times
during the next
Mr. Mallory asked, did Mr. Clay ever move to
censure or expel a member ?
Mr. Colfax replied that Mr. Clay's speeches
were on the side of his Country, and thatstatesman
did not hesitate about the words he used, which
were far more severe than any lie ever used here.
Mr. Dawes called upon Mr. Mallory to state
what language Josiah Quincy used to Justify Mr.
Clay's speech.
Mr. Mallory did not recollect the precise words,
but he recollectec Mr. Quinsy denounced the war
as being causeless and against the interests of Mas
sachusetts, and one to which his constituents were
opposed.
Mr. Dawes said Josiah Quincy was one of the
most venerated and distinguished statesmen of the
land, and he knew Mr. Quincy was opposed to the
war of 1812, but as a lover of his country, he had
no equal at the time. •
Mr. Mallory said the gentleman could not get
Kentucky and Massachusetts into collision.
Mr. Colfax, resuming, said if any one had re-.
marked at the time that traitors should be per
mitted to plant their Confederacy on our soil, he
believed that Clay, with all his patriotic impetu
osity, would have moved to expel the member
from the floor. This was no gladiatorial arena, as
called by Fernando Wood, as it was when men
with weapons sought to suppress disunion in be
half of freedom. That time has passed away.
They were here as patriots and as representatives
to discharge the duties committed to their charge.
Mr. Colfax quoted some remarks attributed to
Fernando Wood, when the latter said it was not
true.
Mr. Colfax said he took it from the New York
Herald, and he supposed that was good authority.
If the gentleman said his Bergen speech was in
correctly reported, he would let it pass. His col
league (Mr. Voorhees) had declared himself in
favor of unlimited freedom of speech. If a man
should rise here and advise the assassination of the
President, would his colleague have advocated
such freedom of Speech: . And yet the speech of
the gentleman from Ohio had not only encouraged
the assassination of the Republic, but also of the
soldiers defending it. His colleague had quoted
the inculcators of the Saviour. He (Mr. Colfax)
had been taught to bow to them with respect, but
he found the Saviour himself prohibited free
speech when he prohibited profanity. His col
league said something about the Helper book, and
which had been dug up from the past.
lllr. Rogers asked whether Mr. Giddings was
censured, and under the previous question re
garded it as a virtual expulsion and resigned. A
widely circulated paper had compared Mr. Long
o Chatham, and spoke of his resolution which he
offered as a disgrace and outrage. He would re
tort on no one, but he wanted no nobler epitaph on
his tombstone than that he had done his duty to
his country according to his conscience. (Great
Applause.] He wanted the rules to be enforced,
as gentlemen on the other side insisted, who did
not like these responses. -He had sat here when
the galleries had applauded for slavery, but had
nothing but lowering brows and hisses for free
dom,• then there was only a rnild r<brtke. He
would rather have the "God bless" you of some
poor soldier's widow, or of the lone soldier for
what he had done in behalf of a country for which
so much was sacrificed or periled,. than the ap
plause of galleried crowded with talent, heroism
and beauty.
He was asked to give his name as recommending
a work contrasting - Northern with Southern agri
cultural prosperity, and he had found pretending
extracts from it to be forgeries. After that old
charge before his district he was re-elected by ten
thousand majority, notwithstanding what had
been said by the gentleman who had opposed the
resolution. He (Mr. Colfax) contended that the
speech of the gentleman from Ohio did encourage
_sedition,and would stimulate such riots as had
taken place
in New York and Illinois, and would
be bailed with applause in Richmond, and In the
rebel camps*, and would discourage our veterans
as they prepare for the battle. It would, if unre
bultect here, justify Jeff. Davis and recognition
meetings elsewhere. In the course of his remarks ,
he said the presumed offence of Joshua B. Gid
dings, in 1842, was the declaration that slavery
Cid not exist in ships of the United States on the
high seas. .
Mr. Colfax then proceeded to review Mr. Long's
speech, and argued to show a. complicity with
treason and a willingness that traitors should tri.
umph. The speech was an echo of Jefferson DA is
himself, and throughout the whole of it there was
not one syllable for our distressed and bleeding
country. After alluding to the rebel barbarities,
Mr. Colfax said there would not, as Mr. Long ad
vb. ed, be amicable actions with them. No, sir.
the word will be fcC e .
l egated only on the grave of
Treason. If our nstitution is destroyed, as the
gentleman twice pro aimed, and if the rebels
have a government, as he asserts, then the only
Constitution alive was that framed at Mont
, goinery.
Mr. Colfax read and commented on various ex
tracts -from Mr. Long's speech, in which he
charged the inauguration of the war on Mr. Lin
coln, which said the rebels would spill the last,
drop of blood in resistance; which declared that
those forced to take the amnesty oath would de
pise its authority; that he (Mr. Leng) had ever
since 1861 regarded the attempt to preserve the
Government and retain our territory as a mis
taken inea; that we should not seek to extend our
jurisdiction over a hostile people; that our battle
fields were words. of disunion and division; that
the Republic was dead and destroyeo; that our
Government was completely overthrown, and that
every vestige of our Constitution had been de
stroyed. Mr. Colfax asked if so, how he could
dare to swear to support it. If R6public, Govern
ment and the Constitution,
in Mr. Long's opinion,
as expressed in his speech were all destroyed, he
must have felt his oath a nullity , andought not to
wish to legislate here.
He was commenting on Mr. Long's declaration
of recognition when his hour expired and he asked
for a few minutes more as promised on the other
side when he yelded to their interruption and ex
planation.
Mr. Chanler (N. Y.) objected. •
Mr. Colfax—l ask no favor and take my seat.
Mr. Eldrige— I thought it was understood the
gentleman should have all his time.
Mr. Dawson—l think the gentleman from In
diana ought to be allowed to proceed. °
Mr. Ancona (Pa.)—The unanimous consent of
the Et onse was heretofore given to' Mr. Allen. I
am no party to the objection.
Mr. Long appealed to the Chamber as a personal
favor to himself to extend the courtesy to the
speaker.
Air. Colfax wanted no repenting concession from
the gentleman front New Xork.
Mr. Chanler—Well I accept. [Applause.]
Mr. Long, who had obtained the floor, said he
was very sorry Mr. Chewier had made the objec..
tion. He would ask the unanimous consent of the
House to allow Mr. Colfax to print the remainder
of his speech, and trusted this would be granted.
Mr. Colfax said, don't print what Ido not
utter.'' '
Mr. Long said he would not now speak but
for the peculiar manner in which the debate had
beer conducted, and Its importance to him indi
vidually.
In entering the Hall on Saturday morning he had
heard the Clerk, in a clear, shrill Twee, reading a
resolution for his expulsion. He was still further
surprised when he saw that the Speaker of the
House had left his exalted position and had moved
that resolution, and was not less surprised at that
gentleman's fifteen-minute speech. He did not
object to the gentleman's offering the resolutlon,•he
did not inlpugn his motives; 'he did not doubt his
right to offer it. He had, wish a few exceptions,
only been treated with the highest regard and con
sideration by the members, and, therefore, he had
no fault to find.
They had not impugned his motives or his hon
esty. For what was he arraigned before this great
and august assemblage? What was the sum of his
- offence, and was he fit to associate with these gen
tlemen? Was it that he hid lost his self-respect,
Sad bad done anything worthy of censure? For
four months he had occupied a seat here, and now
this extraordinary charge was brought against him.
Some of his own friends had taken occasion to
put themselves in opposition to him, and the Re
publicans had also been very careful to do the
same. He asked gentlemen to approach the sub
ject now before them with care. He might be in
error, but his conscience and judgment told him
he was not:
He repeated that he had declared his deliberate
convictions and bad quoted in his own support the
views and had followed the leadership of the dis
tinguished gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ste
'Yens). He said at the time he would take shelter
under the broad mantle of that gentleman. It yori,
Mr. Long said, condemn me, to be consistent,
you must condemn your distinguished leader: Be
just, though the heavens fall. Rise above party.
Make no difference in your 3.3tion between what is
uttered by a Republican and a gentleman on the
Democratic side. Act above party; if you must
make a martyr censure us both. I will shield my
self under the broad mantle of the distinguished
leader of the Republican party. He wanted pea :e
to Vie couivry rather than the extermination of
th, se people who are struggling in a cause which
they believe to be right, but which we in the 1)1-
ginning thought to be wrong. The Speaker of
the 'House knew that he intended to make that
speech. - -
Mr. Colfaahere said that he did not know US
character.
Mr. Long referred f
o the sech of r. elley.
who had said if he ( ai p r. e Long)M K
ed
bad utter
his sentiments iu a crowd of five hundred soldiers
there was not one but what - would 'have brained
him for what he had uttered here with impunity.
He meant the gentleman who plays Forrest here
for the amusement of the House. - [Laughter on
the Democratic side. j Pennsylvania was his na-.
true State. He honored her sons in the field and
elsewhere, but he despised the man who thus ap
pealed to the soldiers.
Mr. Cox moved to lay the resolution to censure
Mr Long upon the table. This was disagreed to.

Mr. Holman (Ind.), said that inasmuch as the
first resolution was adopted, the second resolution
was; of no particular moment, and therefore he
moved to lay it upon the table.
Mr. Colfax sad he was willing to withdraw it
by unanimous consent.
Objection was made by the opposition side.
Mr. Voorhees said it was time that these dis
graceful proceedings were brought: to a close.
There was much confusion at this time.
The second resolution is as follows :
That the Speaker read this resolution (namely,
the one already adopted) to the said Alexander
Long during the session of the House.
The resolution was, on motion of Mr. Holman,
laid upon the table—yeas 71, nays 69.
Mr. Colfax then moved the previous question on
the preamble, under the operation of which it was
agreed to. The preamble sets forth substantially
that Alexander Long, a representative - from the
Second District of Ohio, by open declaration in the
National Capitol,and by publication in New York,
has shown himself to be in favor of the recognition
of the so-called Confederacy now trying to estab
lish itself on the ruins of the country, thereby giv
ing aid and comfort to the enemy in their destruc
tive practices, and to the traitors against the Go
vernment within our berders, by assurances to
their success and affirmations of the justice of their
cause, and that such conduct is incompatible with
his duty as a member of this body. -

A CRUISE AMER REBEL PIRATES—ARRL
VAL OF THE GUNBOAT NORMAN AT THE
NAVY YARD.
The United States zunboat Mohican . arrived at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard last evening, from
the coast of Brazil. She has been on special ser
vice since the 23d of October, 1E62. The first seven
months of the cruise were passed in the neighbor.
hood of the Cape de Verde Islands, and thence to.
wards the equator, visiting andexamining all sus
picions vessels, both in port and at sea.
In May, lE:63:intelligence reached the Mohican of
the ravages which piratical cruisers were making
among American merchant vessels on and In the
neighborhood of the coast of Brazil. Half an hour
afterward the Mohican Was under way for that
Iccality, and making a rapid passage, arrived off
Pernambuco on the 19th of the same month, un
happily to find that the rebel vessel Florida had
left that port but three days before. Being out of
, coal, the Mohican was obliged to enter the port
and obtain a supply, after which, on the 91st, she
sailed for Bahia, arriving there on the 23d, again
to be disappointed, the rebel vessels Alabama and
Georgia having escaped forty-eight hours pre
vious, after having taken in supplies of coal, pro
visions, and some arms. Two ships, however,
loaded with coal and other stores, pro.
fessedly for the Emperor of China, bat In reality
intended for the rebel squadron, were lying
there, intending to meet the steamers at some oat
post on the coast, but they were so well blockaded
in port that they were finally reduced to sell their
cal goes at a sacrifice in 'Bahia." The Mohican
explored all the small ports and harbbrs along the
coast, and created such an Impression among the
rebel sympathizers that their friends, the Alaba
ma, Florida, and Georgia, have not since made
their appearance in that neighborhood.
In August last an attempt was made to fit oat a
number of rebel merchant vessels (lying in Rio de
Janeiro) under British colors, and one of them
went to sea, but,. finding the Mohican in chase,
they prudently retired within the marine league,'
re-entered the port, and, after waiting several
weeks for an opportunity to escape, gave it up,
and the whole five have been since dismantledaad
laid up in ordinary.
The cruise of the Mohican was extended as far
as the Cape of Good Hope and the cities of the La
Plata, visiting all the intermediate ishinds, but no
indications of an enemy were seen. In all this
time she had been tinder way at sea 93 3 2 days, and
