THE ortavurreo intelligence in regard to the surprise of the enemy's camp at Romney, and the capture of their whole camp equi. page, as well as stores, ammunition, and pro visions, by Col. Wm.t.aca's Indiana regiment, will do at least something to wipe away our recollection of the disaster at Great Bethel, and teach our adversaries in that quarter in advance what they may shortly expect at Ear per'a Ferry. In all the luOvemente in North western Virginia an intense intoreit must Da turally continue to be telt throughout our Bute. The late of many of our bravest and gist sons depends upon the direction which the campaign may tate in that quarter, and Vba" solicitude will necessarily prevail, as e as the flag of treason flaunta defiantly 1 upon the sits of our national armory.

Mr. Davis was an ardent adherent of the Administration policy, and advocated the most urgent measures for dealing with the rebels. His successful competitor, Bon. Bogy Mex, was a supporter of Mr. Docor,es in the last Presidential canvass. Mr. Mroz is a very eminent lawyer of Baltimore, and bas committed himself, in the most unequivocal manner, for the Union. He is said to favor means of compromise, and is not committed in favor of the present policy of the Adminis. 111111011. Tau PROCI•LXATION of Governor JAVZSOIT, of Missouri, will be found in another column. A more impertiectd, State paper never'came from the niter of a free and enlightened UQUllll9U wealth. After having duped that frank and unsuspecting soldier, General Hammy, into as errturgesterit which would have eventually placed Missouri under Secession rile, he now quarrels with the General Government for having superseded General BARNEY and din. avowed his action, and declares open war with the General Government. Gov. JACK nos Is, to every intent and purpose, a traitor to the Union, and hie proclamation is nettling move than an unblushing avowal of his infamy. TICE PEOPLS of Fennaylventa have taken, at IMP, the three• million loan, authorized by the late Legislature for aiming the State and sus. taining the General Government. No fam could be more honorable to the patriot:ism and liberality of our fellow-citizens. Now that the people have so abundantly furnished the Government with means, no time must be lost in applying those means to the accom. plishment of the purposes contemplated by the Legislature. Let the work of arming the State be prosecuted with promptness and energy. Ma..7&FFSSsoN DAVIS has written a very meek letter to the Maryland Legislature. Mr. Davis asserts his deaire for peace, and de clares that the Confederate Government" would readily entertain any proposition trom the Governutout of the United States tending towards pease. There can be but one propo sition from the United States Government, and one of its conditions will be the trial of Mr. DAVIS and his confederates for high trea son against its authority. They who cry peace must practise submission to the laws. Tar Secrete.ry of the Treasury hag issued a circular of instructions to the collectors of cus toms throughout the United States, directing them to exercise renewed 'vigilance in pre venting the transmission of merchandise and munitions of war to parties or combinations in States =der the cent. ol of insurgents against the authority of the United States Governnteut. No wenn of ours is necessary to secondlro appeal, published elsewhere, in behalf of the family of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. He gave his Me t his fortnue, and his great heart to his country, and that country owes it to Ins me mory, and to its own sense of patriotism, that them whom he has loft behind should share its protection and friendship. The Battle at Great Bethel. The Official and detailed accounts of the battle at Great Bethel, while they do not very materially differ from the first reports, still contain some new intelligence of a redeetn ing character. The number of killed and wounded is considerably smaller than was at first suppose& Our troops displayed heroic bravery under a galling fire, and so vigorously did they press the attack that when the order for a retreat was sounded, it its now believed the traitors were on the point of locoing the iladd. Fearing that a second demonstration Would be made against them, they left their entrenobinents soon after the battle, and bastb ly withdrew, with their artillery, towards Yorktown, after burning the adjacent build ings. Gen. Bunny throws the chief blame of the blunder in the morning, by which our two di visions fired on each other, upon Gel. BENDIX. tie does not refer in terms of disparagement to Gen. Paula, although in the current ru mors that officer is bitterly denounced for in efficiency and mismanagement. It was left discretionary with the lottor whether, in the event of a failure to surprise Little Bethel, (which was prevented by the accidental firing referred too be should attack Groat Bethel at all. Be took the responsibility of assailing it, and unless he throws some important new light, in his &Mild desputcheti, upon his con duct, his reputation, as a soldier, will be far from enviable. The officers and men Of the Army of the Union of course know that they fight with the eyes of the whole civilized world directly upon them. If serious false steps are made ; it glaring incapacity is the' ; if any lack of courage is exhibited', and, above all, if men in high commands prove in the hour of trial to be utterly unworthy of their positions, they kadbettt3r never been bora than compelled to encounter the withering indignation and con tempt which await them. From present indi cations, greater publicity will be given tO all the movements of this campaign than has ever attended any other extensive contest. Where th er e are weaknesses and failures they will w t edfly be exposed ; but where skilful, heroic, and gallant deeds are performed the lame of their authors will be trumpeted tbroitgliont the world. The roads to lasting honor by good conduct, and to lasting dis grace by incompetency and inexcusable errors, lie brlyealy open, and era the summer wanes away many of OUT officers will have travelled the first, and some, it is to be feared, the second of these paths.

Altered Tone of the British Illtetstry. As was to be expected, the British Govern ment has changed its tone with respect to this country, and does not any further care to con tend that an insurrection, widen meet and can be put down by the people, is Independence. Such a fledgling takes a long time before it can take a flight, and a hundred casualties may bring it to a perilous end. The news from England by the two last mails leads us to think that the British Ministry, exercising that bettor part of valor, Discretion, has a decided purpose of pausing ere it advises Queen Vicrosria to address King Cotton as if Sir, my brother." Not the less, however, are Femmes/v/4r and Reams, gray-haired men who have passed the threescore years and ten which the royal Psalmist declares to be the usual limit of human life—not the less are these crafty and cold-blooded men to be condemned for their evident first purpose of taking up the cause of treason in the South against the Oonstitution which has knit these American States in a bond of Union. We believe that .‘ they tried it on" as long and as boldly as they dared. But Queen Vier:mu:B private feelings are believed to be against the South, and the feelings of the mass of her subjects, of all creeds and classes, are known to be so. In the teeth of this popular feeling, Rentz.", [MON and Rossm, who maintain themselves in office only ay sueeessive concessions to public opinion, dared not take part against our Union. Lord JOHN, in his now character oroOnserva tive, recently took occasion, during a puha mentary debate on the Budget, gravely to re. prove Sir JOTIN RAMSDEN, one of the Yorkshire ' members, for having exultingly proclaimed that "the great republican bubble of America had burst." His Lordship said that when a Des. potism, such as had existed in severalwm:-iii: Italy, was overthrown, he rtAgigLiii•Ueeedingly, and this joy overca e pain he, experienced at what bad t en place in America. He added F r E C:Winn that I have always thought, and I do think, that this country is more free than the United Statile of Among., have been. I admit that the great founders of that Republic, wise and able men as they were, had not the materials al hand, as we have in this country, by whioh they might have been able to interpose the curb and 3E:Tref:lion of mum to restrain the passionate dictates of popular will. But, sir, although in acme respects they have failed in providing ouch re itraints from not having the materials, yet it hoe been for a large number of years a great and free inereitslog is balminess, giving example lo the world of people in the enjoyment of riches, of wealth, and of freedom, and thus giving prospects of improvement in the happiness of mankind (Cheers j And when I reflect upon what it was coat brought on this soniflet—the reproaches that ere made by the States of the North against the 'States of the South—when I reflect that those re preaches, and the resistance whioh bas been made in consequence, hero arisen from that accursed in Nutrition of slavery, I cannot but rooolleat Mee that, with our great and glorious Institution'', we gave them that curie—that ours were the hands through which came that fatal gift—that poisoned gement whisk has clung around them from the first hour of their independence. [Renewed neer , log J And, therefore, air. Ido not think it seemly to show anything like exultation at their discord, and still leas to reproach them, as if we were the immasnlate beings who had done all our duties while they had failed in theirs. [Cheers J Sir, •hese are the feelings with whien I beard my honorable friend the other night, and I must say [ believe that the sentiment/ he expressed were exceptional, and not at all in accordance with be general feeling of the country. Indeed, I think nothing has been more honorable to cuts Rouse than the general pain and grief which have been evinced at the prospect of this great and tree people being abets! to rush to arms 'o destroy each other's happiness. (near, hear ] I have but a few words more to say, but I think it to nomissary I should add that neither with regard to America, nor with respect to Prance, or any of the great he:opium nations, do I See at present I any prospect that our "peaceful relations will be disturbed. [Cheers J The whole world is in a state of change, and far be it from me to make any pro phecy, but all I can say is, that, as far as I know, the feelings of all Mates toward° tale country are friendly—[hear, hear]—that there aro no questions pending upon which a confliot is likely to aria., and that as far as my humble means can promote the cause of pesos and goOd will on earth, it will be my object and ray endeavor to do so. [Loud obeerse This, bating the bit of blarney about the superior freedom enjoyed by the English, is sufficiently explicit, and will be regarded here, as undoubtedly intended, as a minis terial apology to the American Government. Lord Joan admits that we are a great, a free, a prosperous nation; . admits that slavery, which is at the bottom of the present civil war, wan impined upon America, when a Colony, by England ; admits that, therefore, England has no right to exult at the present troubles o f America; and proclaims, in a tone of great confidence, that the Palmerston Cabinet sea nothing in existing relations with foreign States to make them fear a quarrel with Ame rica, France, or any other contstry. Lord Joax, eating his previous words with as much avidity as a donkey would devour thistles, evidently was the mouthpiece of the Palmer ston Ministry on this occasion. Be bed made the original blunder, and it was retributive fitness for him to swallow the leek. Per sonally, this will not diminish his aristocratic antipathy to the United States. Mr. Gorman, on this same oceasion, said that the only difficulty ho saw was whet might arise from the short supply of cotton, but, he said, cg the calamity from this source will not, I believe, be en bad as some honorable gentle men suppose." Mr. Grans.; ONE, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has hitherto kept out Of this tt muddle r " reproved Sir Ramagotn for his impertinence in speaking of the American Government as a great republican bubble, and added; II I do not believe that it was the honorable baronet's intention to make use of that expression, and I am sorry to hear it cheered by honorable gentlemen opposite, because I hoped it would be tae last time that we should have any jeering tones in this Rouse of thom tremendous calamities which have 'alien upon that great country." We have no doubt that Sir Joux meant )r - hat he said. He la a baronet, whose patent bears date 1689, and with that antiquity and his large estates, is as much an aristocrat as llusamm., Psi.iixnaTON, or any other of the anti-American politician& This much we have gained : respectful and apologetic language from the British Ministry, and their seconding France in not allowing vessels captured by Southern privateers to remain in port to be condemned as prizes. There lo not much chance , we suareet that , many such prizes will turn up, but the vindi cation of the principle is the gain. This decided change in British policy arises from the Ann position taken at Washington, and from the positive and determined language used by Mx. SEwARD in his letter of instr C. tions to Mr- Div em, our new Minister to Faris. Some days ago we noticed the feet that American ice is retailed, in Loudon, at the rate of one cent per pound ; that American fee, in Philadelphia, during the present season, is retailed at exactly the same price; and that for N pounds of ice per week (8 pounds a day) supplied here, the present price is 56 cents, whereas it was only 40 cents last year, which was itself a large increase upon the price of a few years back. We inquired, what is the canes of this difference? A corre spondent has aunt us a reply, the gist of which is contained in his statement, as follows " Last year an ample supply of good ioe was ob tained at home for rupplyieg the Philadelphia market. This year there is almost a total failure in the home orep—nearly all of the larger compa nies having failed to store a single day's work of toe daring the pest winter: led that not from any lack of attention in taking advantage of opportn. ultiee of storing the ice when made, but from the gigypie last that there did not grow an article suit able for storing during the entire whiter." This is a semi-official excuse for supplying Eastern ice in Philadelphia, at an increase Of fhtrfy seven and a half per cent. upon the prices of last year. We confess that it has tailed to convince us. Last winter we bad a good deal of severe frost, (an akatere recollect what gg a good time" they bad of it,) and to us, unskilled in the mysteries of the ice trade, it dins seem singular that no One vueceeded in putting in the necessary supply. Owing to the absence of large numbers of our population in the war, and also from tbe exportation South being wholly cut Off, this year's Philadelphia consumption will ho much less than it was last year. When the demand is thus diffinished, there is less pretext for augmenting the price. At all events, even under the circumstances ototc4 by our correspondent, we must conti nue to think that the advance of 371 per cent, on the price of ice supplied to the public, must give general dissatisfaction and cannot be apologized away or explained away. As a natural result, the public will use leas ice than before. When the prices of all other necessary articles are greatly reduced, we do not understand an advance of 37.1 per cent.. on ice.

Mr. RvssaLL's last letter to the London Times is dated on the Bth of May, from Montgomery, Alabama, and he makes a pointed allusion to the remarkable change which was percepti ble in the tone of Southern feeling after the great uprising of the people of the North be came known in that section. They had begun to understand the difference of a con est against a weak and imbecile Government, with nothing but the soldiers of the regular army to depend upon, and with nearly all those scattered in distant garrisons and along frontier posts, and an energetic and patriotic President whose call to arms in defence of the Union was entbn siaatically responded to by hundreds of thou sands of freemen. The traitors now are ready to declare that cc they did not intend to take Washington," and that they only want gc to be left alone," but after a few decisive battles, and the rigid enforcement for some months to come of the blockade, the power of their ter rorismw-__ill be almost completely broken, and the friends of the Union in the South be once more enabled to lift up their prostrate heads. Mr. itiressu, with all his sympathy for tho South, can scarcely refrain from ridiculing their famous cotton plan for raising money, and their silly threats not to permit any of that tittered article to be exported to the Northern States. He evidently has but little faith in these foolish and impracticable schemes. Mr. Lewis Dela.

Several of his songs have been set to music and published, (chiefly by Biwa. & LANs-roar, we believe, of whose kindness he repeatedly expressed himself warmly to us on many occasions.) and we think that a collet tion of his best productions, in book form, would be a proper tribute to his ability, be sides gioldlng tome snbatantial benefit to his widow. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter ftom "Occasional." Correspondence of The Press.) lifesuitioTON, June 13,1861. Since the unfortunate affair at Big Bethel, Fa., has betrome the subjeot of discussion, I have been convinced that great good will result to the sir viee. It is a lesson not only to the iittirerilloooti but to every men, regular and volunteer, officer and private, who wears the American uniform. There on be no denying that many of the officers of the new regimenta were, at the time of their election, inexperienced men. This cannot justly be charged to any source but to the necessity of the ease, the exigency that called our new levies I. er the field, and the admitted lack of a mili tary organization in nearly all the loyal State,. To a great extent, when the President wee called upon to appoint calcine to the regiments called for by his proclamation, he was also con trolled by these considerations. Now, however, that experience and military knowledge are shown to be as essential as courage itself, there is not an afilear in command or a soldier in the ranks, who will not feel that his own honor and bile own life depend upon immediate, constant, and coneolen. tins attention to the duties devolved upon him. I buow some excellent men unmated with splendid reenter:lU, composed of such material for a great war as the world boa never seen, who are lamentably deficient in military knowledge. Upon the general Moue a aolemn responsibility rests. Their relations to their men are alike various and delicate. They are called npon 0 look after the health, the comfort, and the habits of their men, and in the hour of battle are looked up to to guide and to lead. Bow careful, how cautious, bow studious they ought to be words eannot desoribe. I repeat that lam happy in the belief that the fate of Brigadier General Pierce, of Massaohusette, and the repulse of his command, however it may have grieved and mortified our people, will constitute an instructive warning to every officer in the armies of the Republic, and will impel them to an immediate self-examination. Every young man who is about to be called into the army as a lieutenant, should either apply him self to a thorough °Corte of military study, or should be subjected by the Government to a pre liminary training, either in garrison duty to re tier, oidei officers, or, U is the cue with lieutenants of the marines, to be drilled and dis. eiplieea by a sergeant major. It must not be forgotten in this connection, that owing to the perjury and trouttery of the lleoeseloalets 7 whe, left the public service in the moment of the oonn try's utmost need, and who by leaving brought about the very Calamities under which that country has three been suffering, the army and the navy had been deprived of many who had been educated at the Government expense, and the 0 overemeat was them thrown back upon the people for protection. It bee happened, therefore, that many young men were thrown into the old regiments who had previously little military min- Mien i but they rsig“fied an advantage over the others who are now called into the new regiments, and will have to depend mainly upon themselves 411 that is necessary to make every coming battle a great victory le /lathe parr 4 r. c_cors of the army to profit by tbe example already referred to, and to imitate the habits of the veterans who are En nead to military customs and privations. A short time will dud the American army the noblest and bravest in the world. OCCAS/OnAL. From New Renee.

To ail th , se outrages and indignities you have submitted with pa - ziotio forbearance,' width has only, en couraged the perpetrators othese grievous wrongs to attempt atilt bolder and more daring neurpa tion. It has been my earnest endeavor under all these a zbarrassing oircuoistanoee to maintain the peace of the flt. de, and avert, if poselble, from our bob dere the desolating effects of civil war With that object in view, I authorized Msj Gen. Price save ! rid weeks ago to arrange with Gen. Harney, com manding the Federal forties in this State, the terms of an agreement by which the pease of the State might IUO preserved. Oa the 21st of May they Dame to an undemanding, which was made public. Tao !Stale authorities here faithfully labored to carry out the terms of that agreement. The Fede ral Goveromout, on the other hand, has sot only manifested e_ strong dieapprebation of it, by the gent dillmissal of the distinguished officer who, on its part, entered Into it, but at once began, and has unremittingly carried out a Wilson of hostile opsrat OEM in utter contempt of that agreement, and in reckless disregard of its own pledged faith The ants have !overly portended civil war and revolution so unmistakably that I resolved to make one further effort to avert then dangers from you. I therefore solicited an interview with Brig Gen Lyon, commanding the Federal army in Missouri It was granted, and waiving all questions of personal and alai& dignity, "I went to St. Louie. accompanied by Maj Gen. Price . We had an interview with lien Lyon nod OM I P Blair, Jr, at which I submitted to them this proposition : That I would dliband the State Guard and break up its organization; that I would die arm all eomparties which ha been armed by the State ; that I would pledge Myself Mit to attempt to organize the militia under the military bill; that no arms or munitions of war should be brought Into the btate ; that I would protect all citizens equally in all their rights, regardless of their po litioal opinions; that I would suppress all Inoue rectionery movements within the State; that I would repel all attempts to invade it from what ever quarter and by whomsoever made, and that I would thus maintain a strict neutrality in the present unhappy contest, and preserve the peace of the State. And I further proposed that I would, if owes eery, invoke the assistenee of the United States troops to carry out these pledgee. All this I pro posed to do upon condition that the Federal Go vernment would undertake to disarm the Rome (hard, which it bee illegally armed throughout the Mem, and pledge Stood not to a:m*2o with Its troops any localities in the State not occupied by them at this time. Nothing , but the meat earnest desire to avert the horrors of a dell war from our beloved State could hare tempted me to prtpose these Iminilietlag terms. They were rejected by the Federal officers They demanded not only the disorganization and disarming of the State militia, and the nullifi cation or the military bill, brit they refused to dis arm their Rome Guard, and insisted that the Federal Government should enjoy an unrestrained right to move and station its troops throughout the State, whenever'and wherever that might, in the eptizion of ha 61566111, ha necessary . either for the protection of the loyal subjects of the Federal Go vernment, or for repelling invasion. And they plainly announced that it was the intention of the Administration to take military occupation, under these pretests, of the whole State, and reduce it, as avowed by General Lyon himself, to the exact condition of Maryland. The acceptance by me of these degrading terms would not only have sullied the honor of Missouri, but would have aroused the indignation of every brave citizen, end prealpitated the very millet which it has been my aim to prevent. We refused to accede to them and the conform:toe was broken tips FILLOW•CITIZSMI All our efforts toward con ciliation have failed, and we can hope for nothing from the justice or moderation of the agents of the Federal Etovernmeet in this State. They are energetically hastening the mention of their bloody and revolutionary mammon for the Immo ration of a civil war in your State by armed bands of lawless invaders, for the overthrow of your State Government, and for the subvereion of those li berties with that Government het sought to pro toot, and they intend to exert their whole power to subjugate you, if possible, to the military despot ism which has usurped the powers of the Federal Governments,. low, therefore, 1,. Claiborne P. Taelmort, GOMM nor of the State of Missouri, do, in view of the foregoing feats and by virtue of the powers vested ha me by the donstitution and laws of this Com monwealth, issue this my pro-lamation, calling the militia of the State, to the number of 40.000, into the active service of the State, for the purpose of repelling said invasion, and for the protection of the lives, liberty, and property of the citizens of this State. And I earnestly exhort all good Md. zone or Missouri to rally under the flag of their State for the protection of their endangered homes and firesides, and for the defence of their most sacred rights and dearest liberties. In issuing this my proclamation, I hold it to be my solemn duty to remind you that Missouri is still one of the United States, and that the cation tive department of the State Government does not arrogate to itself the power to disturb that relation. That Wirer be. been wisely vested in the Convention, which will at the proper time ex press your sovereign will, and that, in the moan time, it is your duly to obey all constitutional re quithmenta of the Federal Government, Du; it is equally my duty to adrise you that your first al legiance is due to your own State, and that you are under no obligation whatever to obey the unconstitutional edicts of the military despotism which bee Inaugurated itself at Washington, nor to submit to the infamous and degrading sway of its wicked ministers in this State No brave and true hearted Miseourian will obey the one or sub mit to the other.

Mr. Dallas, on this occasion, made use of his psalm!, which have not been tenanted by his own family for the past live years The rooms had a cheerful, hospitable guise, and the ex minister, in true republican style, did the honors himself, being both usher and host.

The venerable Commodore 3tewart wait one of the ffrst to take Mr. Dallas by the Mind : and the LON Of "Old Ironsides" shared the attentions paid to the saarooly less venerable host. There were clergymen, members' of the bar, editors, anthora, and distinguished civilians, at the reoe?tion, and to each, Mt. Pantie, standing in his doorway, extended a cordial hand, which at once endeared him to the visitor.

At 1 o'clock, when the rooms were moderately filled, Colonel James Rom Snowden addreased Mr. Dallas on behalf of hie friende, Re expeared to the ex minister the Universal welcome home which all Philadelphians extended to him, and stated that, although the times were portentous and fall of seeming gloom, yet title patriots were not wanting to some forward and subscribe means, influence, and life, to the Govern ment that had given them all. In the list of pa triots all counted Mr. Dallae, who Mild not be otherwise if he valued the memory of his revered father. [dpplanee As a patriot, unalterably attaobed to the Govern ment and Its flag, Mr, Unowden welcomed Mr. Dallas, and wished him a long career of usefuluese and fame. Mr, Dallas replied in the following remark., whioh he read from manuscript. They wore spoken in a clear, impressive voice, which charmed quite as much as the language of the address : It is impossible for me, just returned from an unusually prolonged reeldionoe at a foreign guest, not to feel in the highest degree gratified by the cordiality of your welcome. I thank you, my fellow-townsmen, from the bottom of my heart for We your gertereito pratiteding. It will be remota• beret' with pride during the few days still left to me; and be assured that the kindliess and esteem which prompted te are reciprocated with warmth towards each and all of you. TDo painful and rrtentotad orients whisk have masked the history of cur country during the last six months engage, however, all your thoughts and feelings. Trot them do so, to the exclusion of everything Mee. Wawa, soore than eve yeere ego, I look the post assigned to me, near England -1 s exemplary Queen, the possibility of a war waster from remote. the construction given by British motormen to the Clayton and Balwer Treaty respecting Central America, and the impendieg dtstaimal of Mr. Crampton by President Pierce, were fraught with mutual irritation. These exasperating topics, however, passed harmlessly by; and aeon an earnest of. friendly &position signalized the Ministry of Lord Derby, in the Pant and full ear render of the long inflexibly ma ntsined claim to the right of search. From that moment the career of the United States, in the expansion and Brawny of their commerce, in the development Of their prosperity, in their reoognistat and ever increasing wctight in the scale of olvilisad Powers, was unobstructed and onward. %Me noble and beautiful symbol of our institutions—the symbol coneeerated by all the blood of the Revolution, by all the heroism of 1812, and, better still, bis the blessings of all the free and enlightened of the world—the flag of the Union floated glistening In the sunshine, a welcome presence in every har bor and on every eta I Ettpplarte..l Let ma remind you that the prrsant fitful effort to sub stitute another, comparatively unknown and local, for this world-wide famous banner, is not the first that has been made The reserved right to nullify ,onr law, and at discretion to break up your Otto vernment as a cobweb contrivance of mere State partnership, perhaps meditated at Hartford in 1814, was certainly and formally claimed by South Carolina in 18.32. 3t tbat epoch there were slants in debate; and no giant more formidable or dan gerous than the author of this subversive doctrine. But, gentlemen, it was overruled as perverse and untenable. The calm Senators from this good old Commonwealth, who were William Willtirte, of Pittsburg, and myself, steadily insisted upon hoist log the "Stars and Stripes" high above the " Palmetto," and I presume would do so gull, and the renowned citizen of Townes, who had routed the renders at New Orleans, dispelled by the mere show of a "Force Bilt" the delusive Quixotism which was brave and blind then as it is now. [Applawe ] Nor am I aware that this de olden of Calms hat sear undergone revision and reversal It stands on the records of the nation as a great judgment upon a question utterly incapa ble of farther eluoidatton by the wit of man ; it is against nullification, which you must be aware is but fragmentary, subdivided, or bit by bit otteee !don, both built upon the same false keel : and it points, with an emphasis too peremptory to be disregarded, to the course of duty which the °ruin' guardians of your Constitution, laws, and liberties, are bonne to pursue. Let no, then, bo firmly linked, as a band of brothers," around this unchanged standard. For my bumble self, born beneath u, having imbibed from a venerated father's Ineuteatisme devoted. attamment to its comprehensive import; [ap plause ;] having dearly lovedetoithe last a brother whogauantly . gave hie life to its support, and, dy ing In a distant grad of duty, heed it his noblest shroud; having spent my life contented and hap py, though poor and inglorious, ender its probe Glen; having been honored fer beyond spy desert.. by my fellow-citisens, and especially by those to austere wleoseerality and sights I shrank from DO pommel sacrifice, I oome back to you, gentlemen, filled, it is true, with grief at the national oalami ty, but unaltered in my determination to mend, come weal or woe, powerless I °oho, but unal terably, by this flag of the American Paton, the whole Union, and the Union forever.
