The Disgrace in Congress.
That two men should rise in the Congress
of the United States, boldly affirm the right
of secession, the justice of the rebellion, and
advocate the dissolution of the Union, is
shame almost too monstrous to believe.
But that these men should not be at on ex
pelled, that they should find other members
base enough to defend, a party strong
enough to protect them, is something
more than slit me ; it is infamy. Great
Heaven ! to what have we come, when
treason reveals itself on the floor of
Congress, and successfully defies the power
Of the law and the indignation of the
people. Either we, the people, have failed
in out duty in this war, or we nave been
-disgracefully deceived in sending to Con
gress the fifty eight Representatives who re
fused to expel 3fessrs. LoNo and ElNnats for
what they dared to say last week.
"I prefer the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy to the continuance of the war
for the Union." This is what Mr. LONG
bad the aud.scity to say on Friday ; this is
the dishonorable declaration which Mr.
BAnnis had the ambition to excel, and which
he did excel in his infamous speech in the
fierce debate of Saturday. " I endorse every
sentiment uttered by Mr. LONG, and I am
not only in favor of recognizing the Southern
Confederacy, but I acquiesce in the doc
trine of secession." Are such men fit to
be in the Congress of the United States ?
Ought they to be within the loyal - lines ?
Are they more ley's] than the banished VAL-
Liagmaruar, or the self-exiled leaders of the
rebellion itself ? We are told that when Mr.
HAREM had thus spolten, a scene of tre
mendous excitement followed in the House,
and that he was compelled to take his seat.
By an immediate and unanimous vote he
should have been compelled to leave it The
smeeches of Mr. Lorio and Mr. H.snnts were
disgrace enough, yet we could have borne it.
But how shall we bear the -greater-dis
grace that followed ? Mr. WASHBURNE
(we thank him for his promptness) offered
a resolution to expel Mr. HARRIS, and the
recorded vote stood, yeas 81, nays 53, but a
two-thirds vote being necessary, Mr. HAR
RIS remains a mock representative of the
ArnerieaU people, with the power to help
make our laws, and shape the future of our
country! Treason does not unfit him to
legislate for loyal men, in the opinion of
fifty-eight members of the - Zlational Con
gress.
We know that Congress is not respon
sible for what one man may do or say, until
it adopts his opinions or actions as its own.
he adoption of Mr. Scrtexce's resolutions,
censuring Mr. lisners as an unworthy mem
ber, by a vote of 93 to 18, sufficiently repels
any suspicion that a respectable minority
agrees with his treasonable opinion& But
that is not the point, for who could en
tertain for a moment the mere dream of
such a sympathy ? The infamy exists
in the declaration that the advocacy of
the dissolution of the Union in Congress is
not a crime that may be punished by ex
pulsion of the traitor. There is the shame
that will bring the hot blood to the cheek of
-every man who cares an_ything for the honor
of the Republic. Mr. HARRIS avowed
himself a becessionist, and the Congress
he defied and insulted replied to him,
‘`
You are an unworthy member, yet
we agree with you that a Secessionist
has a right to make laws Wl' the Union."
'What was the vote of censure worth? In
connection with the rejection of the resolu
tion to expel, Mr_ Hx_asus has reason to ac
cept the censure as a compliment. As for
Mr. Loric, he ought not to be expelled ; for
if Mt HARRIS is at once unworthy and
worthy to be a Representative, we see no
- reason why Mr. Loste should not in time
become President
Speaking for all loyal and brave men, we
thank you, Mr. ConFAxrfor your just TeSO
- and the good argument with which
you proved that it should be passed.
Messrs. WAsnr.URNZ, KELLEY, SCHENCK,
GARFIELD, and the others of the eighty-one
uncompromising men who voted to expel a
Secessionist, will be remembered by the
people. Nor will the My-eight gentlemen
whose votes gave that Secessionist the
power to rt pt. at his treason be forgotten.
ghat some of thcm should defend treason is
to be expeettd, but others will have a terrible
account to settolt with their constituents. How
very brave must be these fifty-eight heroes
thus to defy the patriotism, and pride, and
anger of a nation ! What magnanimity
they displayed in the sacrifice of the honor
of the Republic to an avowed friend of the
rebellion. Their names should be written
in letters of told, and inscribed where all
the world could read, "these were the men
- who kept an open Secessionist in the Con
gress of the - United Statts !"
Death of Withaut p. Tictuor, Esq.
With unaffected sorrow we record the
death of Mr. TICKNOR, of the well-known
'rm of Ticxxon & FIELDS, publishers, Bos
ton. It occurred, yesterday morning, at
the pontincntel Hotel, in this city. Mr.
TICKNOR arrived here on Tuesday, ac
companying his friend, NATHANIEL - ELM-
ThoRNE, Esq., the author, whose health de
manded change of scene and air. On Thurs
day both gentlemen called upon the writer
of this obiluary, who heard with pleasure
that Mr. 11AWTHORNE's health already had
improved, brief as his absence from his New
England hone. had been, and noticed that
Mr. TrunlCUlt looked remarkably well—
apparently enjoying rude health. That
afternoon, both gentlemen took a drive to
Point Theeze Park, in company with a
friend, and nitre Mr. Tien:lion first com
plained of not feeling quite well, saying
that he must have taken cold On Friday
morning he sent for a physician, and did
not leave his room that day. On Saturday,
his doctor considered him so much worse,
although not dangerously ill, that bethought
it right to telegraph for Mx. TICKNOR'S
family. That evening he became so much
- worse that a consulting physician was called
in. He was pronounced - to be dangerously
ill, seemed fully aware of his comEtion, and
repeatedly expressed his sorrow at not being
able to take leave of his dear wife and chil
' drat. Mr. .13 AWTHORNE, who never left
him from the time be was taken ill, held his
hand at the moment he breathed his last,
and is deeply affected by the severe blow
which has deprived him of a friend, coun
sellor, and man of business. Every atten
tion was paid to Mr. Ticraion at the Conti
nental during his illness, and his numerous
friends in this city were constant and anx—
ious in their inquiries. His family will ac
company his 3 emains to Boston this day.
Mr. TICKNOR was fifty-three years old,
and had been upwards of a quarter of a cen
tury in the publishing business. The firm
- was originally D. TICKNOR d Co
but was ebhuged; several years ago, to
" TICKNOR a: FIELDS," when Mr. JAmes T.
FIHLDIS, who had been brought up in fhe
establishment became a partner. It is not
too much to say that no house in A.merica
stands higher in the estimation of the public
and of the bork trade. • TicKwort. & Franns
have not only largely reprinted the bea.
writings of the best British authors, (paying
- them liberally for the permission,) but also
published very extensively for the leading
American writers, almost exclusively the
poets. Their books were got up with re
markable elegance and accuracy, one of
- their latest and most successful productions
being Ticknor's Life of Prescott, one of the
most beautiful works ever printed. Mr.
Tronstou, -we may add, was a cousin of
Mr. Gnorton TICKNOR, the distinguished
'author of that book. Between three and four
years ago, TICKNOR & FIELDS purchased the
Atlantic Monthly, which has now a circula
tion of over forty thousand copies, and has
taken a "- buld and patriotic stand on
the loyal side of the present civil
war. The late Mr. Tieicson was an excel
lent man of business,. and the house of
Ticxiron & irstrans had the good fortune,
through kindness and justice to its authors,
to stand well with the makers as well as
the purchasers of literature.
We believe that the complaint of which
Mr. Ticamon died was congestion of the
lungs. He has left a wife and family.
One son is in the army. The eldest son,
HOWARD TICKNOR, who has been in the
establishment since he graduated at Har
vard, will probably be the future represen
tative of the family in the firm of Trcalcon
& FIELDS.
The Papacy.
There are various and contending state
ments in the foreign journals respecting the
health of the Pope. Some of these declare
that he has suffered under a cold, from which
be was recovering. Others insist that he
has been ill of a fever, that his Health was
not improving, and that, with a conviction
of his alarming condition, he had prepared
a document, to be produced to the Conclave
as soon as practicable after his death, recom
mending that no delay occur in the election
of his successor, and submitting the names
of four Cardinals, one of whom he would
suggest should be elected. This seenis not
very probable. According to a custom
which is now of long duration, none but an
Italian can be elected to the chair of St.
PETER : this would exclude a French candi
date. There is, we believe, a -Cardinal
BONAPARTE. DIM IX., 'born on 13th May,
1792, was elected Pope on the 16th June,
1846, on the death of GREGORY XVI. In
the event of his death, it is not unlikely that
the French troops, by which Rome is now
held in awe, would be withdrawn.
Tnn - WORK of organization of colored
troops, and employment of freed men on
plantations in.the 18 outhweat, goes on quietly
but effectively: Adjutant Gen. LORENZO
Dimas, to whom this important task has
been entrusted, is solving, by practical ex
amination and experiment, one of the great
est problems of the war. His tour of in
spection has already been extended through
Tennessee and down the Mississippi as far
as Natchez. We are glad to hear that Gen.
TROMAE has recovered from the severe ill•
mess caused by the exposure of continual
travel and the very laborious nature of his
duties.
Wir are. glad to announce that "Grace Green. ,
wood" will lecture at the Academy of Pamirs" on
the 18th lust., for the benefit of the Committee on
Labor, Incomes, and Revenue, of the Great Central
Fair. The title of the lecture will be the " Lights of
the War Cloud." The lady, whose genius has made
the nom de Ouse of " Grace Greenwood" familiar in
every household in America, is not only a charming
and graceful writer, but an eloquent and forcible
speaker. Her reputation, the interest of her sub
ject, her ability to treat it, and the importance of the
object of the lecture, are reasons why the Academy
should be crowded. Thiawill be the that lecture for
the benefit of the Great Fair, and "Grace Green
wood', has the honor of inaugurating a movement
which ought to net thousands of dollars for the
fund.

Interview between the President and
George Thompson
GEORGE THOMPSON had an interview with Freer

to both parties. In the course of conversation the
President said, in reference to

that he bad never for a moment doubted the right
and power of 'the Eaccutive to issue such a proofs.

Public sentiment had advanced slowly but surely,
and he had moved just as fast as it seemed to him he
could move and be sustained. lie could not have
felt justified in the emancipation issue until all other
meal. s of restoring or preserving the Republic had
failed, and he had no consciousness of having tract•
mended hit powers. "I do not see," said he, "how
any man standing in my shoes could have done oth
erwise than I have done."

Shipinent of Spirits for Exportation.
Tbe Treasury Department is about
_to issue a
circular giving instructions in relation to the ship

lector of Internal Revenue in the district in which
said distillery or bonded warehouse may be situated,
for a permit to do so, the spirits having first been
duly inspected by a United States internal revenue
iirpector, who shall ascertain the quantity thereof,
aid make an entry of the same, together with the
inspection and marks and numbers of packages.
Application will be accompanied by an oath or
fllamation of the distiller or owner, setting forth
that he desires a permit to transport said spirits for
exprrtation and for no other purpose whatever.
Up n receipt of this application, duly verified by the
oath or affirmation of the distillers or owners of
spirits, the collector wilt exact from them a transpor
tation bond, with good and sufficient sureties, in at
least double the amount of duties upon said spirits.

Pursuit of the Rappahannoeli.
The Navy Department has already taken measures
to have two or three fast steamers placed on the

Destruction of Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
FORTRBES MOSIBOB, April '7.—A gunboat Medi
tkci to the Chickahominy was sent up from Norfolk
on Monday, the 9th inst., by Brigadier General 0.
K. Graham, commanding the naval brigade of this
department. The force consisted of the gunboats
Samuel L. Brewster, under Captain Arnold Barrio,
and General Jessup, under Lieutenant Bladen•
hawser, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery.
The two gunboats reached the mouth of the
Chickahominv at daybreak on Tuesday morning,
and steamed fifteen miles further, when Lieutenant
Bladenhauser, in command of fifty men, landed and
scoured the country. The two gunboats, in the
mean time, sailed around a huge bend, a distance of
twelve miles, when the ikirinishing party was again
picked up.
Harassed by , rebel cavalry on the flanks, the

pelled to adopt the greateet caution, ann watch the
movements of the rebels very strictly, to avoid
being ambuacaded. Shots were exchanged freely,
but no damage was done to either side. Our troops,
however, eluded the vigilanceof the enemy, and
reached the gunboats safely. Not relishing the ugly
appearance of the guns of the Brewster and Jessup,
the rebels wisely kept out of range.
The object of the expedition, which penetrated to
within about fifteen miles of the rebel capital, was
for seeret purposes Of the Utmost impsstanes, and
was faithfully performed throughout. Whatever it
may have been, the officers concerned in it—namely,
Captain Barris, Lirut. Chambers, and Lient. Bla•
denhauser—deserve great credit for the prompt and
fearleas execution of the General's orders. Some
forty negroes were brought back on the Brewster
and. Jessup last evening, when the expedition re.
turned, which were turned over to Captain Orlando
Brown, assistant onartermaster and superintendent
of negro affairs of the First district, by whom they
have bran distributed throughout the Government
plantations.
FOBTRICSS MONROE, April B.—Last Sunday night
forty rebels landed on the wharf at Cape Lookout,
and placed the keeper and his wife under guard.
They then destroyed all the oil, and exploded a keg
of powder under each of the towers. The windows
being open, lessened the effect of the explosion, and
only about seventy feet of the stairway was de.
stroyed. The lantern was severely iojured—so much
so, that it will take Kiev: JAI days to repair it. The
steamer Clity of Jersey arrived a few moments after

WASHINGTON, N. C., March 22.-1 have to record
another brilliant affair made by the irrepressible
Graham and his band of Buffs. Oa the 26th inst.,
Capt. Graham, at , the head of a squad of his men,

intention of learning the whereabouts of our almost
übiquitous (mayhap Iniquitous) enemies, and the
laudable object of picking up a few of their mums.
pecting videttes, if be happened to meet with any.
Ahout noon, having espied three rebel videttes,
Capt. Graham took ten men and made a fearful
eharge upon them. The videttes had just time
enough to show three clean pair of heels when Gra
ham came up with them. This happened about one
mile from Black Jack Church. The rebels led our
fellows a pretty close race, until they brought the
Bun smack , ' into the rebel reserve, consisting of
same twenty cavalry, under charge of Lieut. Kin
zey. Nothing daunted, however, Graham continued
his charge, and made a gallant fight, lasting about
five minutes. ki,e succeeded in killing eight of the
enemy, among whom was Lieut. Kinsey, and wound
ing seven. About a half mile farther on, down a
very straight road, Capt. Graham saw the enemy
drawn up in line of battle, with vastly superior
numbers, and, deeming it nothing short of madness
to continue the fight, after releasing the wounded
prisoner', and -givlog three' cheers for the sub.dis
triot of the Pamlico and three for the Ott flag,.he re
turned to Washington, bringing with him five horses
and two prisoners. Re also destroyed some twenty

XXXVIIIth CONGRESS---lst SESSION,
WISEMIrGTON. April 9 Mg
The Senate IS not in 'motion to-day, having adjourned
over till Monday.
ROUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.
Resolution to Expel Mr. Long.
The SPEAKER called Mr. Rollins: of New Hampshire,
to the chair, and. ridsg to a queetion of privilege. Mr.
COLFAX, of Indians. offered the following resolution:
Whatea' On the Bth day of emit, MI. when the
Rouse of Representatives was in Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, Alexander Long. a
Representative in Congress from the Second district of
Olio, declared himself in favor of recognizing the in de-
A/el:dent metier ably of the so called Confederacy, now
in erne against the Union: and.
Whet-cue, The said so-celled Confederacy, thus sought
to be recognized and established on the rains of a dis•
solved or destroyed Union. has held as its chtef
efacers, civil and military, those who have added per
Jury to their treason. and who seek to obtain success
for their parricidal` efforts by the killing of the legal
upholders of the nation, who are striving to save ft from
destrnction.
And whereas. The oath required of all members, and
taken by the said Aletrander Long on the first day of the
present Congress, dee:ayes that "I have voluntarily
given no aid, countenance. counsel, or encouragement
to persons engaged in armed hostility to the United
States." thereby declaring that etteb e conduct is regarded
as inconsistent with !membership in the Congress of the
United States; therefore, be It
Bf." 01 1 ,01, That Alexander Long, a Representative from
the Second distract of Ohio. baying, on the Bth of Apra.
1864 declared himself in favor of recogrozing the hide
pepdence and nationality of the so. ceded Confederacy
now in situ , against the Union, and thereby given aid.
countenance, and encouragement to persons engaged in
armed hostility to the rutted Stater. is, hereby expelled.
The Argument of Mr Colfax.
Mr. COLFAX said he had pondered upon his duty. and
felt that he bad a double obligation resting upon hi al—
one as the presiding officer. to admit:timer impartially. •
ens the other as a Representative from the Ninth district
of Indians. connsistooned to speak. act. and vote for his
constituentr, many of whom are in the tented field in
this dread ern Met and exposing their lives for the safety
and !perpetuity of this country. He owed it to the
women and children in his district, whose natural pro
tectors were stricken down by the bloody hand of trea
son, and whose households had been thus bereft. He
had no personal at friendliness towtrds the gentleman
from Ohio. Their re:Miens had always been pleasant,
He believed in the freedom of speech, and nothing would
hate pt ompted him to the present coarse excepting, the
utterances of the gentleman. that, in so many Words,
he was in favor or recognizing this so-called Confede
racy, and its recognition as one of the family of
nations
And new, when the Confederate flag was here 'boldly
unfurled, and aid and comfort by the act given to the
enemy Dallis House. hefelt it to be his duty to offer the
resolution. a nd rail on the Souse to pass tneirj tide mete
open it. He had offered the resolution, not as the remit
of consultation, tut on his own responsibility He said
deliberately that this avowal could not be passed over
in silence. If such remarks, giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, were suffered to go unrebuked, you ought
not to ask your soldiers to peril their lives for the Craton,
whose destruction is thus openly advocated on this floor.
Cease to shoot your deserters, for they have not repu
diated their obligations any more flagrantry—certainly
lees it fluentially. Complain not if foreign Governments
recognize the rebel Government. if you pus over the
declamations of the gentleman in silence. If any gen
tleman in the same political party as the gentleman from
who had advocated the recognition of the Con•
federa's flag and Guvernment. desired to offer a resolu
tion of this character, he ,could give way to him. His- -
tor Y, writing down on her enduring tablets the events of
every passing term, - would. he doubted not. show that
the gentleman's Mende should have done this for their
own good name.
The Senate of the United States, by a more than two
thirds vote, expelled Senator Bright for writing to the
rebel chief a letter of introduction, and, after this,when
the Legislature of Indiana came . o elect a Senator, one
for a long term and another for a short term, they. re
spectie g the solemn act of the Senate,refueed to send him
beck to that body, ands year ago a fqmer member or
Coe greets from Ohio (Mr. Veil a nareb am) was sent out of
the country. His friends went before the people, and, by'.
a verdict of a bendred th. wand votes. the latter reaf
firmed the order of the commanding general. And bat
the other day the Supreme Co art refused to re open and
review the judgment If we pass over these utterances
off. comfort to the enemy in silence, thong whose hands
arestalned with blond may ask to come hero Oven the
conclave of the Confederacy. saying. We have done no
more in Richmond than the gentleman from Ohio has in
this hall, and this lie did in your presence narebaked.
Debate on the Subject.
Mr. COX,. of Ohio, said this resolution to expel a mem
bee of iles El cure called for more than usual gravity. Re
Was not in the Rouse when his colleting made his re
marks. but he was informed by members around him
that they would bear the interpretation put upon :hem
Had ho been in his teat yesterday, with all due respect
to his celleagne, he would have disavowed, in behalf of
the Ohio delegation, any remarks looking to the recog
nition of the rebellion as crystallized at Itachmood De
did not know a eine° member of that delegation except
ing hie colleague, Mr. Long, who wee winiag to recog
nize the Confederate Government. Be spoke of this be.
cause of the attempt to !make partisan capital. He be
lieved that his colleague at the time spoke only hie
own sentiments, and not those of his party.
Recently there was a D. mocratic Convention in Ohio.
representing one hundred and forty five thousand voters,
and in that Coovention no sentiment like that of his c.a.
league was uttered. The only man whose name was
presented looking to recognition, and who bad siren -'
lated a pamphlet in support of his views, received only
two votes in that (invention as a delegate. The loyal
people of Ohio are not, under any shape or color. in
favor of each a declaration as the resolution attrlbated
to his colleague. ThaDeinocratic people 'n that State
rallied and sent their friends and brothers to the war,
altbough they did not agree with the African volley.
Mr WASEIBURAE. of Mingle ' as if in correction of
the gentleman. suggested that he meant Abyssinian.
[Lange est j
ter. COX replied that that was a worn-out joke, and
doubted whether the gentleman had any sense at all in
connection with the african question. the
gentleman
said he would leave that to the
gentleman from Onto,
Mr. LOX said be would not submit to any farther in
tecruption. and then referred to the resolutions-intro
duced at the last Congress, by Representative Conway.
of Ranges. in favor or recognizing the Southern oonfe
det arm. Whets, then, was the sensitive gentleman. that
he did not come forward with hie resolutions of expul
sion? He would ask the Speaker to respond to that.
lon are for free speech! Why do you earache my col
league for uttering hie sentiments. while you refrain
from expel in g a man in your orrisroots for doing the
same thine? I yield to the Speaker to answer.
Mr. COLFAX replied. The representative from In
diana claims the flour when lie chooses, and declines
speaking within the gentleman's speech.
Mr. COX The gentleman is distinguished for pru
dermeas well as sagacity.
Sshie one asked Mr. Cox whether he thought Mr,
Conway should hew been expelled I
Mr. COX reepoeded that he did not think Mr. Conway
should be excelled any more than Mr. Stevens for hte
epeecb in favor of regarding the Confederacy as a de
facto Government and an independent nation. His col
league (Mr. Garfield) had taken the same ground ae the
sentieroan from Pennsylvania. and now was in favor of
eapelimg a member entertaining the same doctrine'.
Mr. theltießLD said he took she most decide t ground
against the gentleman from fenuselvan' a, that the
South age now a foreign people. In his speech he re
marked that they axe in the Union, and that alt the oblt
ations of the Constitution overhang them But in put
ting down the rebellion they were told by the Supreme
Court that they must treat them -by the-law, of war as
if they were a foreign nation, but not thereby admitting
them to be a foreign nation
Mr. COX. Do you bold the doctsineethat title Confede
racy is not independent now, sad are i on in favor of ex.
Melling the gentleman from Pennsylvania for molding
such a doctrine ? I do not believe in the doctrine of either
of those gentlemen
Mr. GARFIELD. I draw the most marked and broad dis
tinction between the opinions of the distinansahed gen
tleman from Pennevlvania and those of the gentleman
from Ohio. The former favored the prosecution of the
war to the uttermost to bring back the revolted . States.
The letter is opposed to all further prosecn.ion of the
war end regards all compromise as impossible; and he
has declared himself openly for throwing u the waits
flag. acknowlecging th e independence of t he Confede
racy, and that he would make no attempt.. either by con
ference or war. to restore the Onion.
Mr. TOATlifteng - geeted that his colleague (liir Ste.
Irene.) Was not now in his seat, being detained therefrom
by sickness •
Mr COX replied that the remarks of the gentleman
were printed. and were as well known as if he were
present. He then referred to the remarks of Hon. Ben
esmin Stanton. formerly a member of the House. who
said at the commencement of the rebellion. If they
sustain tbemaelves a sear or two, and nothing but war
or I:tithe/mien eau tiring them baelt...l would he-dis
posed to recognize their independence." Did his col
league vote for Mr. Stanton as Lieutenant Governor of
Oleo?
Mr. GARFIELD replied that he did not vote for that
gentleman or for any ticket If he had been there. he
should have voted for Mr. Stanton, and his only encase
was, that he was not in the ktate at the time. There
were many men on both sides of the - wittiest question:in
the beginning of the war. who felt it to be their duty to
let these people alone' for a time. hoping that reason
might return to them by delay Others said, —we can
not let them alone:" and to this class belonged Patriots
on both aides. But now. after the question had been ad
judicated. and the people were determined,. after three
y e ars have gone by. and when We are em..ramag from the
night into the daylight of victory, to throw up the con
test would be treason.
Mr. COX replied that be had only asked an answer to
his question, and not what constituted treason. While
the gentleinan 'would overleap the constitution he (Mc.
Cox) would take it for his guide, for thereconiel be no
Union without it. gaol when son talk of tre-sos. and
In the same breath are willing to overleap the Condi,
tution, 3 ou are the traitor. If there is a traitor in this
Home.
The Nation Mightier than the-Constitution..
Mr. c; ARFI ELL said his colleague misrepresented him
as to • overleaping the Conatitntion." He would say.
OLCC for all, that he never uttered such a sentiment ;.
but what he remarked was this: When reefed whether.
under an circumstances , . he would. overeide the Con- .

the Constitution was ample to put down the. rebellion.
and es powers were suilimently capacious for teat par

as impossible that the treposition could be tree—he
would say, as the American people are greater than the.

tier of the Constitution.
Mr. COX did not desire to save the country kr tearing
out its brains , which was the Constitution. Yon have
sworn to support the Constitution, not in a certain emer
gency. but unconditionally and in all places. and now
you say in a certain emergency you would violate your
oath. What is this but moral treason and perjury?
Mr. JULIAN replied that be had taken the oath, and
had asserted heretofore, as he did noW, that there was
no necessity for violating it. He woiuld ask the gent's
man eo illicitly. If tee life of the nation could be saved
only by the violation of the Constitution in come re
spects. would he save the life of the nation at the coat?
CLsnghter.]
Mr. COX replied that he knew of no other life of the
constitution the constitution itself He regarded the
as the body and'bones of the nation; tnere
fore, in defending the Constitution, we defend Its life
from assassination • Underno conceivablecircnmstances
to the human mind would he violate the Constoun ion for
any pi:movie Any man who utter.' any other sentiments
expresses moral treason in reference to Mr. Valian
digrbam, he said he (Mr. Cox) was for a fair trial. and for
free speech and a free press. and everywhere he took
ground in Saver of the election of a man who in these rs-
E_peels vindicated constitutional liberty. Nowhere did
- allandistliam utter a sentiment looking to the recogni
tion or the Southern Confederacy, and be was in favpr of
Voting men and money to carry on the war. Nothing
looking to the independence of the South ever came from
that man. In conclusion, he said we have to take the
old States to make the Union. This is the platform on
which we exptet to meet you next autumn We will
never surrender the country to Secessionists or Aboli
tionists.
Remarks of Mr. Relley.
KBLLBY, of Pennsylvania, mid two remarkable
features bad been presented to day They had seen the
Speaker move a resolution of expulsion, and the gentle
man Lem Ohio (Mr. Cox) justify by indirection what
be dared not vindicate directly, namely, the language
and pug pose of his colleague In a beef passing p erase
be disavowed the sentiments of his colleague. while the
remainder of his hour was given Stantonstification of
treason. As to the gentlemau. (Mr . of Ohlo,)
now strod on be war platform In favor of a vigorous
prmecntion of hostilit;es—the friend of the Union, urging
by his voice and example the people of Ohio to sustain
the Government in mainta , ning the supremacy over
every inch of this broad territory. It would not do to
talk of abstract opinions uttered three years ago. any
more than it would to impugn the patriotism of General
Butler for voting for Breckinridge at the Oharlo .ton.
Convention. The eiriesttoo before us is a question of !sty.
'I be member whose expulsion is moved swore and sub
scribed to the oath of loyal; y. The tist oath did not ex
ist In 1861. It was under that oath the gentleman's col
leame is arraigned. Pleas of abstract views of the Con
stitution could not be raised for the sanction of treason.
The whole subject is ree adjudicates.
The Supreme Court of the United glaies, by which the
gentleman from Ohio used to staid has rate ,a upon the
question. He would find in 2d. Black that the court
has declared this Government now involved in a terri , te
wer, and is remind by the law of nations to treat the
rebels under the Constitution as alien emirates. The
gentlemen (Mr. Long) uttered more fat y than others
dart dto do the hey•note on the Democratic aide. Among
the *tacklers of Pennsylvania you would not find one in
fire hundi ad who would not brain the gentleman for ut
tering in camp the doctrines he uttered with impunity in
this hall. The gentleman badtrkenoccasion to assail
his colleague • but when " the cat's away, the mice will
Play." He adhaed Mem to keep in their holes hereafter.

Be further replied to Mr. Cox, and In the course of his
rimarks said such sentiments as bail been avowed
would reduce them all to submission to Jeff Davie and
the infernal band who bad made nearly a quarter of a
million graves. filled with the best am bravest of the
her d. He rose to exposo the mean pettifogging of the
champions of Sacess.on on this floor.
Mr. DA WhON, of Pennsylvania, alluding to a remark
mar e yesterday by Mr. Garfield, wished to say dietinctly
that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Long) was candid
enough to say that he spoke only for himself, and not for
the Democratic party. Be wished further to say, the
gentleman alto spoke of the Order of the Golden Circle
being under the protection and patronage of the I:18110-
wade patty. There might be a society known as the
'Golden Circle," but as for himself, as a Democrat, be
declared be bad no knowledge of any such order, and
in his Intercourse with the Democratic party in Peansyl
anla and evelywhat e else, and In his intercenrae here
le had scsrcsly ever heard any reference made to the
' order. He w nothing of ice being nt der the patron
age and protection of the DemocraMc party.
Mr. MILLER. of Pennsylvania. rose similar for the
purpose of entering his smenin protest against the lectm e
on patriotism and fidelity to oath from his colleague (Air.
Healey). 'who stands on the record as having uttered a
deliberate falsehood. He was not the man to talk about
perjury and fidelity to the Union, He was not here to'
endorse the sentiments of the gentleman from Ohio ( Hr.
Long). Mr killer then made some allusion to former
ri marks of Mr. Kelley with reference to political ques
tion* in Pennsylvania. &c .

opinion that we should recognize the Southern Confede

he bad the right to express it If tee gentleman from
Ohio bad been giving aid and comfort to the enemy, oth

President had not only violated the ep rit bat the leiter
of the Conetitution by his repeated acts of usurpation.
Much as be hated the rebellion, he loved the Constita

Mr. GARFIELD. of .Ohio. replied to the interrogato
ries monoanded by his colleague (Mr. Cox) in the startler
part of the debate. explaining his views on the subject
of revolution. The question of right in human affairs is
a relative question What might be said with propriety
