The Dlssoletioti Of the Uniett.
' The par mint question of the day is the•
ifeiinitteitcy of the IJnion. , In the newspapers
of the country,- in public assemblies, in point.
cal 'conversations, and In Congress, this is the
prevailing tapiO. : No one'can doubt for auk ,
Mont that the great body of the Anieriean
'People, keenly alive to the inestimable benefits
_lt has conferred Upon them, earnestly desire
ite Perpetuation. In the North this sentiment
is almost universal. It •is opposed only by a
fed feir Abolitionists, - who make the endu-
ranee of the Union a question of conscience,
lind , whe'bium their hostility to it upon their
aviiision to any political connection • with a
'confederacy which tolerates slavery in any por
- Bon 01 its dominions. But everybody in the
-North•perfectly understands that no political
'-importance :whatever is attached to the
citOwali of hostility to the Union made in
Abolition meetings. ' It Is doubtful whether a
• ',tingle - . towne)sip •in the North would sustain
' any practical movement for dissolution—cer
tainly not a single county or State. ' There is,
• therefore, no sign of the predominance of a
disunion sentiment in the North. The only'
• formidable Northern feeling of that kind ever
'manifested was displayed in New England
- more than forty years ago, and scarcely a ves
tige of it now finds political expression. The
North is content with the Union, and will
make no,effort to dissolve it. No one fears,
• or anticipates for a moment, a serious North'.
em secession movement.
The quarter frOm which those who entertain
apprehensions of a dissolution of the Confe
deracy anticipate the fatal blow, is the South,
and the South alone. In no other region does
the doctrine of secession find sufficient favor
to be tolerated for an instant. It is political
death for any man in the free States to formal
ly, and seriously advocate disunion. Unfortu
nately, in the South secession theories have met
with more favor; and there is a well-organized
school of Southern politicians who make it
the 'chief husiness of their lives to develop
and encourage a disunion spirit. Every excl. I
ling occurrence in national politics is eagerly
seized to strengthen the cause of disunion.
Dissolniion is the remedy prescribed for
every political epidemic, whether it assumes
the form of a high tariff, a series of patriotic
Compromise measures, a temporarily' honest
" effort to extend fair play to the people of
- Kansas, a denial of the right of slaVery to
hedge itself ' with an impenetrable and
law-defying divinity in every• portion of
the Republic, a John Brown raid, or the
anticipated election of a Republican Speaker
of the House of Representatives, or a Repub
lima President. Although there is, perhaps,
as lunch disunion feeling now expressed at the
South as at any former period of our history,
it must be remembered that it is no novel sen
timent fn that region, and that some of the
same.actore who now rave against the; Union,
and predict its dissolution in certain Contin
gencies; or at certain periods, have performed
the same parts to the same audiences in former
times. Yet; while not a few of these then now
hold prominent * stations, we cannot believe
• that they truthfully reflect the eentimehts of a
' majority of the Southern people. However
- *boldly some of their representatives may
• denounce the Union, the historical fact
" cannot be ignored that, whenever a', real
emergency has 1114 aroused the Union
feeling at the South, it has overwhelined with
' real/Bess force the advocates of a dissolution
'of the Confederacy. We do net believe that
the, South, or any other part of the Union,
.35'901 tamely submit,io - 'cleer, "Indisputable,
• - and protracted violation of any of its important,
rights; but there, is no considerable portion
of our' country that Would be willing: now, or
at any future period, to destroy . the political'
, bond which unites 'the Confederacy; Mgt:akar
for any sg light or transient causes ; 7 or that
would not hesitate long before it atte i tupted to
eradicate real or aupposed injuries it now erg
; fers by exposing' itself to the perils Of a new
'stud' untried species •of political existence.
• lesides, after all, what real fault has the South
-v fin the dittos ? It ha's certainly been a
- , beneficent Pelfacal - erne:we t :lmM' for heir,' and
of the advaOtages which have accrued from it,
for the general benefit of the Americ+ people,
She has obtained a' full and * * generous share.,
The very evils of which she is , mord apt to
complain have originated, not because of the
Union, but in spite of it. While the'North is
charged with occasional failures to deliver up
- Southern fugitives, it must be remembered
that with the destruction of the Unien would
perish all hope of the return of; any of
them. While Jolts BROWN'S raid ;is justly
complained of, it should be remerahered that
. his forces were captured by the marines of the
National Goiernment—that those of this com
; - pinions who escaped to this State wore ar
' rested here, :and Promptly surrendered to the
authoritiei of Virginia for trial—that the Union
does much to Cheek and suppress similar and
unlawful and wicked expeditions, anal nothing
to encourage theui—that in the event of a
merlons servile insurrection in the South, hun
dreds of thousands of Northern men would
be as • prompt to aksist in its suppressiOn as
any Southern forcei—that the tTniori, as it ex
- ids, tarnished the surest guarantee that could
be devised against any formidable iraltation of
JOHN BROWN'S movement, while hi destruc
tion would subject the South to Imminent dan
ger from attacks, against which she could only
protect herself by great expense and trouble.
• While much la said of the exclusion* of the
- • Beath from the Territories of the Republic, no
• ' i "; one can be blind to the fact that up this pa
..., 44 she has certainly received a meat bound
,- 'Rd share of the territorial acquisitions obtained
• by the power of the Union, and that her' do
' Mains have been extended with ft rapidity
which the founders of the Republic could
neverhave anticipated. She haogairmillhe vast
elaveholdiug regions;embramatl in the districts
, acquired by „.the purchase BrLatfislatui 'and
Florida, and the annexation of Testa; and at
this moment all the unoccupied territories of
the Republic are freely opened to settlement,
by her sons, and. the establishment' of her pe
, guitar institution permitted if a majority of
- the people of the Territories consent to its
' :establishment among them. If she fails to
establish slavery in existing Territories, it
; -- % - „°4111 be because the desire and necessity for
et t i emigration is stronger among non-slave
holders:than among slaveholderi; and of A
simple fact like this, which, if it shall be
• found to exist, eel be caused chiefly by the
. 'belief of the slaveholders that they have land
enough for their present wants , their pre
pent settlements, she can certainly have no
guest reason to complain, and it can furnish
no rated for disunion. If it is urged that
the House of Representatives is sectional, and
that by electing a 'Republican Speaker sec.

look to the Senate, where every, important
committee possesses a Southern Chair - Mau,

While men have often preached disunion,

Confederacy, and those who have attempted it
have been , overwhihned with confusion I and

The Sunbury and Erie Railroad.
The following extract, taken from an
Erie paper, published nearly nix years ago,
will be interesting now, both from the near
approach to completion of the Sunbury and
Erie Railroad and the regent attack upon it
by the Now York 'Herald ;
We find th 6 following valuable 'article in re ,
ferenoe to this important enterprise in Saturday
morning's New York Herald :
As the public, mind is now agitated upon the
"trade of the West," and the support our several
works are to derive from it, we may as well look
atour pretensions and prospects for ensuring and
'retaining the portion, e_ expect as a reward for
our expenditure. in our original estimates our
object was not re mull:Abe trade, as a monopoly
for our several works, and hence the location, par
ticularly of the New York and Erie was but a se
condary consideration ; mountains, in the eyes of
the projectors, were but mole-hills, and the grades
and the gauges, as is" said by Toots, were of " no
consequence.'" But the works are in operation,
and while the stockholders are looking for divi
dends, let ,us examine the proved of obtaining
them.
Firstwe shall bOgin at Erie, as that is the piece
wherethe several lines concentrate for at least six
months of the year i and take the New York Central,
with the 'others, n regular course. The actual

Namely, from Erie to Williamsport ..240
Willhfinsport to Tamaqua 90
• " " Tamaqua Co Philadelphia 98
This route, now in the bands of the contractors,
Is finished to Williamsport, a distance of 188 miles.
Thence it will be completed to Ridgway during
the neat season, where R will ,connect with the
Vonango and nearly all the roads diverging through
Ohio. At Williamsport it connects with tho Wil
liamsport and Elmira road, and gives to the trade
of Elmira, [thin evidently means Catawissa Rail
road,'as the Williamsport and Elmira have no snob
connection,] over the New Jersey Central, a route
of easier grade, and a uniform gauge, a distance of
310 miles, with one transhipment at Eiieabethport.
Thus we have the details on the three principal
routes to the' Western trade. Bat, as our view is
confined only to the distance and gauge, we must
look at grades to determine tho advantages. On
the three routes the ascending and descending
grades are about as follows :
Buffalo and Albany 11,200 feet
Nsai York and Erie 12,679 "
- Banbury and Erie 8,560 "
If we Mime the .seal estimate, that a rise and
fall of 80 feet is equal to one mile of dietaries on a
level, and introdnee Into the calculation the equiv
alent of increased distance for each transhipment,
we have the comparative total distance, actual and
equated, as follows:
Buffalo and Albany to New Y0rk....897 miles
New York and Erie to " .867
Banbury and Brie to M 11141610 570 "
Brie yiaPhiladelphia to New Y0rk...600 "
- Thai, we see by the actual and equated distances
that the route from Erie through Philadelphia is
237 miles shorter than by Buffalo and Albany, and
208 shorter than by the New York and Erie, and
if we estimate the freight at if cents per ton per
mile, we have the following rates
By Buffalo and Albany
" New York and Erie
4, Sunbury and Erie via Philad... 990 "
The items, although extraordinary in their pre
sent shape, are nevertheless, more than confirmed in
the actual operations on the Reading Railroad.
On that work a 'finale engine can do the work of
21 enlace on any road where the grades descend
at the rate of 22 feet to the mile, and if we look
into the cost of engines, do., ,to., we will disown
that the Pennsylvania routes have advantages, and
that the route over the New Jersey Central is not
only the shortest but most direct route for the
travel of thwWest.
This refers to the route film New York to
Erie by the Lehigh Valley, New Jersey Cen
tral, and Catawissa, Railroads, which is 84
miles shorter than the • New York Central, 30
shorter than,New York, and Arlo, and of uni
form gauge without transhipment from Now
York to Chicago. .

WASHINGTON, Deo. 25, 1359.
Mr. Baohanatt's Administration and the South.
ern disunlonlets have at lest fallen upon a plan by
which they expect to control the organisation of the
Rouse. The two purpoees to be accomplished in
this organisation are the recognition of the South-
ern disunion element in the appointment of the
standing committees, and the packing of these
committees so as to prevent any investigation
whatsoever into the corruptions of the Adminis•
ration In Its efforts to maintain IM Looomp
ton policy, and to effeetually proscribe inderm
dent men. There can be no doubt that Mr
Boteler, the - American Representative from the
Harper's Ferry district, is the favorite candidate
of the secessionists and the President. Although
eleoted as the known opponent of the Adminietra•
lion, and particularly of Its profligate expenditure
of the public money for political purposes, the fact
that the fooling la his district has grown so strong
on the slavery question since the Harper's Ferry
tragedy has no doubt induced him to moderate his
antagonism to the Administration, in view of Its
notorious and frequently manifested disposition to
assist the designs of the fire-eaters.
The engineers of the Boteler movement in the
House are getting confident that they will be able to
carry him into the chair, if they eau control Mr. Ho
race Y. Clark, of New York, and Mr. Reynolds, of
the eamo State, with Adrain, Riggs, and John 0.
Davis. It is stated here, but r cannot discover
upon what authority, that Mr. Clark has signified
his willingness to assist this programme. When
we consider that Mr. Clark, Mr. Riggs, Mr. Adrain,
and Mr. John G. Davis were all eleoted by Repub
licans, were all committed against the Administra
tion in their canvass, and that they all stand upon
the ratite Democratic platform, I have no doubt
the expectation that they will go for any one who
is at the same time the favorite of the Administra
tion and of the scoessimdsts is utterly without foun•
dation.
Yoa will observe that the Administration men in
the House refused to vote for Mr. Gilmer, of North
Carolina, when hie name was presented as a peace
ollbring the other day, and after he had been sup.
ported as well by Democrats from the South as by
Republicans from the North. The reason for this
was because Mr. Gilmer openly upheld the course
of the anti•Leoompton Democrhts, and denounced
the prosoriptive policy of the Administration prior
to Ms re-olootion last August, and was endorsod by
an inereased majority. Mr. Gilmer could have
been clotted by the Administration, haying not
only received the support of his own party in
the South, but running over their vote, and he re•
paired only the Administration ooiumn to pu
him into the chair. Thaddeus Stevens, James
If. Campbell and other Republicans of Penn•
sylvan's, threw their votes honestly for OIL
mer, while William Millward, E. Joy Morris, John
Wood, and John P. Verree, representing the cow.
mercial and national sentiment of Philadelphia,
also gave him their support. Ho would have been
" sound" upon the slavery question. Ho could
have done nothing else but select the committees
upon a conservative baste. He would. have re
sponded to the sentiment entertained by a vast
majority of the people of Philadelphia, as well as
of Pennsylvania and of the Union. But he did
not mit the Administration, because he would
not have consented, on the 0116 hand, to asstst
the Southern secessionists, and on the other to
suppress investigation onto the 'WOl'lOll3 car
, ruptions of the President and his Cabinet.
When such Opposition men as Miliward, Stevens,
Wood, B. Joy Morris, James H. Campbell, and
JohnP. Verree, aided, I believe, by the entire Op
position delegation from New Jersey, made this
offer to the Administration, they did it in good
faith, as the subsequent debate has shown, and in
this they were easiated by John Schwartz and
John B. Baskin. All these men are called
" Black Republicans," and yet they voted for a
Southern man who has shown his opposition le John
Sherman, the Republican candidate for Speaker in
the House, on every ballot. The refusal of the Ad
ministration to join hands in electing Gilmer Speak
coversit with disgrace, and exposes the induce.
rity of Its pretended efforts to organize the House;
proving,at the same time, that it considers the defeat
clap ievestigation into its profligate practices far
more important than the welfare of the country.
The Adminiatrallon is resolved that no man shall
be elected Speaker, if it can prevent it, who does
not agree to select the standing oommitteee for the
purpose suggested—no matter how "sound" he
may be on the negro question.
The cry of the Administration against Hickman,
Baskin, and Schwartz, that they have gone
over fo the )lo , publiesus, because they have voted
for John Sherman in preference to an Administra
tion candidate for Speaker, has bean shown to be a
most hollow and heartleas accusation. If the
creed of the Democratic party, as illustrated by
Howell Cobb and James Buohanan, moans any
thing, it means that the Constitution not only pro
teats the institntion of slavery in the States in
which it exists, but also the civil, and religious
rights of the adopted citizens; and yet, here we
finethern engaged in making offers to the repro.
ssntatives of that party which they have been de
noupoing, in the bitterest terms, as "miserable
Ifierr-Nothinge!" When a Northern Democrat
like Illokman, Raskin, or Schwartz, proposes to go
'for Jobn Sherman becalm he is true to his own
section and opposed to the secession polio , of the
Administration, he is stigmatised as a "Black
Republfean,i' esui head up to execration as
a traitor; but when a Southern man, like Mr.
Keltt, Mr. Pryor, extra Eiily Smith, or Mr, pa
nne, votes for a South American—one of those
denonneed in such severe terms by Mr. Barnett, of
Kentucky, tke pt4ef 07—and thus endorses the
very doctrines repudiated by the Administration
mane theniselyea, the not is applauded by the
Washiegten (lonerirnrien, end those taking any
part In it are held pp M Sager/19p pontpatriets. The
Northern Administration men, Who Inver/eat con
etituenoies in which the adopted citisens hrne an
overruling element, are to be whipped into the
support of molt a candidate on the ground that it is
necessary t 9 eye the Union, and to rebuke the Re
publicans. Ifappity, 4 9 wifer, for themselves, the
American Representatlyes, V.euth, fully
nnderstand this game. National mon as they ail
are, if they are compelled to make a °holes be
tween those who haii been arrayed against their
opinions, they will not, F ate sure, lend themselves
to the double infamy of atanstlng the iteeieSis,uistP ,
and of bolstering up an Administration which has
become a pestilence.
/1 le not the moat agreeable spectacle for
Northern peno,ocrat to witness the manner in
which the contemptuous assapits pf the South upon

of repudiation of their groat standard.

step forward and vote for a panelist* rpFt3peak.er
who is the choice and the favorite of the enemies of
Stephen A. Douglas. When Mr. Logan, of
responded, the other day, that he would support
the candidate of the Charleston Convention, no
matter who he may be, immediately after Mr.
Singleton, of gisaissippi, had declared that he
never would support
. Stephen 4. Douglas, I could
see shame and mortification deptedialUpoP the faces
of Northern Democrats in the galleries, by whom I
was enrreunded, and when, only yesterday, Mr.
youke declared that he would support the candi
date of the Ohatiesten Convention upon "any"
platform, I could see contempt end scorn on
the faces of the Southern men, who, like gallant
spirits , Prseleim their determination to have
nothing to do with the Charleston Convention un
less it yields itself Implieltly and entirely to them.
Now, the Democratic Representatives front
jl
iinols are either right or they are wrong. They
have been elooted to Congress upon a platform
which they supported sincerely, or which they did
not support sincerely. If they believe in what they
said before their election, they commit a great
wrong upon their constituents by responding to an
Insult upon their chief, and a repudiation of their
creed in committing themselves to accept even the
worst enemy of Judge Douglas, should he be nomi
nated upon the moat offensive and denationailsing
platform. Without the great principle which they

Correipondenee of The Preen.]
It is too bad, that at this pleasant Christmas
time, when we ought to bo jolly in anticipation of
enjoying the social atmosphere with which old
friendships are surrounded, and new friendships
oemented, we ehonld be kept down to the melan
oholy level et John Brown and his misdemeanors.
It hue become more than monotonously disagreeable
and nauseating to hear the one side linking the
other with the responsibility of Ossawatomio's in
famous invasion, and the other no emphatically dis
approving and deprecating any such action. The
contrast between the pleasant fades out of doors, on
this bright and Invigorating morning, and the
eights and sounds in this hall, is truly doleful.
Outside, neat and tidy housewives of all
ages—some carrying their turkey, apples, and
celery, and others followed by heavily-laden
servants and porters—look cheerful and hap
py, with the expected pleasure of the mor
' row. Restaurants exhibit their fairest fowls;
confectioners pile up perfect glaciers of frosted
cake. Little boys and girls think the day will
never cease, and long for night-time, that they may
retire to repose upon the hopes the good Kris
Kingle" inspires. The book-stores tempt the more
intellectual with their exquisite editions of exqui
site poets, while the mono showy—those who re
gard metal more than mind—are attracted in their
gift-making expeditions to the dazzling displays of
jeweller's windows. There are those, also, who,
eschewing pine and poets, books and brooches,
rings and romance, precious stones and precious
stories, throw wistful eyes at silks and satins, and
have infallible faith in the supremacy of bonnets
and bouquets.
Inside, we have full galleries, and of eourso a full
floor, and " used up" members on both sides, us
ing used-up arguments, and making a shuttle
cock of old John Brown, pitching him back and
forwards with melancholy attempts at warming
themselves into a debate. So far as the business
of this morning Vtlle concerned, the "Black Die

to the struggles of Judge Douglas for twenty years

as his natural right to the products of the soil whieh
he tilled, as be or his colleague ; but when it came
to a question of who shall sit at his table, and of

taste. The extra-ex-Governor of Virginia got the

the eubjeote of some" general remarks without
Axing the precise bounty. The traveller in Texas
looks in vain to And comfort at his hotel. The
buildings are little adapted for oonvenlenoe, and
generally consist of several distinct structures

But it Just than warred to him, that there would
be little opportunity after such a catastrophe for
any further Lactation on the unfortunate victim,
so be left his sultanas un§nlehed, and trusted to
the darkey's Imagination to fill op the blank.
It is seldom that the Idea occurs to the land
lord or any of the employees about the hotel
that a limner may wish to go immediately to his
room, unlese ho hoe arrived at night, and they are
compelled to think he wants to go to bed. And,
indeed, few travellers in thla country have any
idea of a room at a hotel being useful or necessary
for UnY ether purpose than as a sleeping apart
ment at night. If 'the traveller would wash, there
is the pall of seater, the 4lpper, the basin and
towel upon a ohelf in the gallery. Occasionally
soap is provided, but Its presence is rather en in.
citation of luxury. By good luck and a little
management you may be fortunate enough to se
cure, if not a olean towel, at least sebum corner of
one. The baggage is either left on the gallery till
bed time, or if the articles are light, put in the
baggage-room ; or perhaps it to actually carried off
to Nome bed-room in which whoever has charge of
the matter " reckons" he will put the owner, when
bed-titne comes.
Having performed his ablutions, the traveller,
if he has arrival in the day time, need not expect
mueb further netiee to be taken of him. If he
arrives at night, it Is generally aupposed he may
want to go to bed, and the business of the day be
ing over, the landlord and servants hayil some lei
sure to attend to him. The landlord has come in
from his plantation out of town, where he has
been occupied all day with his negroes and crops,
and thinks to himeelf, "Shall I not enjoy mine
me in mine inn ?" and is prepared for a social
converse with hie guests, having in view the ob
taining of all the useful, and more especially all
the personal informatiols hp can, and In return im
parting such as he has limself. In the intervals
of this agreeable occupation, he finds opportunity
to give an occasional ejaculatory order to some
clerk or servant, drawn out by a request from some
traveller made directly to headquarters. Some
times the executive functions of the betel are dis.
charged by a alork, but more frequently it will be
found that there is some active or trusted servant,
a negro slave, who has the real and praotical ma
nagement and control of Minim, and whose good
grimes It is important to secure. And if you can
ingratiate yourself with " Aunt Dinah," or
"William," or" reple Joe," you will be able to
get all the attention the house affords.

If the hotel le pretty well filled, end you Millet on

shawl and sleep on the floor. The bedsteads are all

bo said for them ? A transient traveller who
stays but a night or two has no right to look for
Olean sheets, and the majority of travellers
horn ears very little to make any Inquiries or ex
amination into the state of the bed-linen. The
consequence is, that, when any objections are
made to the sheets, or any suggestions mildly ven
tured as to other people having slept In them be-
fore, It excites the greatest surprise and astonish
ment, and generally draws forth either an indig
nant denial or a yehement assertion that the sheets
aro clean. But ideas differ upon such terms as

also, to examine the way the bed is wade up; and
a little exercise of whatever natural or acquired
gifts you may have as a chambermaid will be
found extremely useful, for the science of mak

°ally applied. In this, as in many other things,
to get along with the very least possible labor and
trouble is the rule. If you have the opportunity,
and the candle gives light enough to see, examine
the sheets, for very often you will find that wheat
the feet of some prior occupant have come in con•
tact with them, you will desire to avoid having
you own skin topob them ; and when you canoe
get the sheets changed, you must perforce get be

with sufficient clothing to prevent any personal

unwary traveller who has been consoling himself

At some indefinite time prior to breakfast, a
negro servant may appear and 911 the pitcher.
One pitcher of water to a room, without regard to
the number of occupants, is the rule. If any ono

very little greet to try any course of remark with
the negro; persuasion, flattery, entreaty, objurga
tion, all are alike received with stolid indifference ;
or if a promise of more water is by any means
forthcoming, the time of Its performance is entirely
uncertain. Anything short of an hour is considered
sufficient, and If not performed within that time,
the chances are It has been entirely forgotten. Of
course the supply of towels is proportioned to that
of water, and one small towel (lucky you are if it's
clean at that) must do duty for all in the room.
There are some advantages, it will bo perceived,
in being the first to rise, as well as the first to go to
bed. The meals and provisions of the hotels of
Texas must be deferred to another letter.

(crow.] he felt it his duty to take his part in the debate.
When the House assembled it was upon the heels of a
remarkable incident that aroused the public mind and
brought aboet a revelation that startled the country
with amazement. It was seen that silty -eight menibets
of the last Congress, besides numerous other gentlemen
o the highest positiom'had endorsed a pamphlet, k nown
ms the Helper pamphlet inaugurating a crusade of blond,
murder, treason, and insurrection against one of the
largest sections of the Union ! What had been the
first development tine of the very gentlemen who had
endorsed thie book had been put in nomination an the
presiding offieor of the House. That presiding officer
must sustain the most intimate personal and social re
letione necessarily with the members over whose deli
berations he preludes. and he asked the House end the
country if they would rightfully and truly perform their
great social and political duty by electing that man to
preside over this body t He put the question here, and
he desired the country to understand it. They may have
the power, by force of nuinbors. to put a man who is a
murderer. a robber—a man who proclaims his deadly
hostility to one-half of the Union, in that chair; hot I
ask them Hit is right If they will stand as the repro
seniativee of constitutional liberty on this Alcor t
Mr. SHERMAN. (with Composure. but signs of a ga
thering storm.) I desire to know if the gentlemen from
Virginia applies these words tome?

Mr. CURVE of lowa, (very much excited.) I call the
gentleman to order! I consider that a reflection upon
members on this floor. It imgettehes the honor of every
man on this side of the House, and I ask the gentleman
to recall it !
Mr. Putter. (firmly.) When I have anything to 'wean.
I will do It without being asked. (Applause In the gal
leries.] if the gentleman will Just keep cool. he will
berhape fare all the bet.eir for it. I ()barged nobody with
eing murderers or robbers upon this Elem. bat I do
(Marge, that when we came here we found that sixty -
eight members of the last Congress I many of them now
beret did endorse a pamphlet, according to what we
had a right to believe and suppose, that was just as bad
and as damnable.
(Cries of '• Good, and applause in the galleries.)
The CI rk said he gave notice yesterday that if the
rules of the Rouse were again violated by this applause
in the galleries, he would call upon the officers of the
House to suppress it. In nceordanee therewith he celled
upon the sergeant at-arms and the doorkeeper to per
form their duty. (Hera ensued a scans of considerable
confusion, many members crying nut " Clear the gal
leries," whilst others hoped that such a course would
not tie maimed in the galleries. A. commotion (meld be
observed. and one middie-need, respectable eent tertian
exclaimed loudly, "I well leave it," and made his way
through the dense throne, whilst the sergeant-at-arms
passed at a rapid pore out of the main door of the House
to intercept hue. Finally, order was restored.)
The Clerk stated that it wan not his intentinn to have
the galleries cleared, ea many orderly persona occupied
them, but amply to preserve order. The business of the
House wits then proceeded with.
Mr. flume .161 he woe proceeding H illoatrate the po

used strong Source of speech for the purpose of making

when they Came here under the circumstances towhich
he adverted, it was their dins to raise the question
which was raised by the gentleman from Allmon. (Mr.
Clark, / and he was glad to see that the honorable gentle
man from lown showed a becoming sensibility. He
knew how he (Mr. Curtis) felt upon the emblem. nor did
he mean in any sense to iIItIMAIO that that gentleman
would do anything dishonorable, hut he put the question
whether he it ould vete for a man for the presiding °M

Mr. CORNS replied, that thegentleman knew that he
would uot, and he believed he knew that the honorable
member nominated would not emotion any_essault upon
the rightsof Virginia or any other finite. He mumnder
'taut the gentleman when he put thepropoeition ; but
still he could not suppose that the gentleman serminlY
believed that any Republican member was so insensible
to honor as to dare to bring into she House any one
who would propose or attempt to endorse any book like
that referred to or countenaneeelicit an outrage its that

Mr. CeaTls. I am told It contains infamous matter.
Mr. SMITH. Well, sir, your mind:data signed it. He
was surprised that the gentleman from Tennessee
should have fallen into the error of stating that Mr.
Sherman had di...tanned the atrocities of the Helper
pamphlet. He would ask that cinnamon where he got
his information?
Mr. NeLeo:3 said his recollection was that Mr. Sher.
man had declared that he did not approve of the doc

Mr. bStitet. No, sir. I have It here Mr. Smith then
