Presidential election-•dc?ire this cruel war, with
its cries of anguish, loss of households, shall be
continued for such a purpose—our sons given to
slaughter, oar widows to mourning, and our
kindred to destitution—is an ;aslant-ton so base
that he wondered it found its way even into the
fertile brain of the Senator from Kentucky. [Ap
plause in the galleries, which was promptly sup.
pressed by the presiding officer.] The country
is at war ; such a war as was never before seen;
and at a time when the question is nothing morn
than the life or death of the nation, the allega•
tions is made that it is desired to prolong the
war for a political object. If this were true,
those who support the Administration are reck
less to everything that should bind them patri
otically together, so callous to grief, and BO deaf
to the pleadings of humanity, that it would be
too revolting to a civilized people to contemplate.
Mr. LANE. of ladilltta, remarked that he un
derstood the Senator from Kentucky to say that
a major general had declared that it was the pur
pose of the President to retain his power, even
though the elections go against him. If that be
true, the Administration does not deserve the
confidence of the country ; if false, the officer
should be mustered out as unworthy the com
mand he bears. He should like to know the
kulnle of the offieer.
Mr. DAVIS replied that the Senator mistook
him. A gentleman who was formerly a member
of the other Rouse informed him that there was
a major general who said that if Mr. Lincoln was
defeated in the next Presidential election he
would not surrender the Office. If the Senator
from Indiana would come to him (Mr. Davis) in
the strictest confidence, he would give him the
name of the major general, awl that of his in
formant.
Mr. Leas said he had only this to say, that
any major general who would make such a state
ment was unworthy of the honors of II

of confidence. As one of the humblest suppor

mg- CONGRESS adjourned over on Wednesday
to the sth of January. Except the passage of
the $20,000,000 Bounty Bill, awl a joint resolu
tion of thanks to General Grant and the soldiers
under his command, nothing worth mentioning
has been done during the brief period the House
es have been in session. In the lower branch,
the time has been chiefly taken up with the
offering of resolutions upon the state of the
sentry, which, although in themselves unim
portant and decisive of nothing, are invested
with s'sort of prospective interest, as indicating
the prevailing eentiment of the House, and the
character of the legislation that may be expect
ed. We have prepared as fall a sketch of these
various resolutions as our limits - will allow, but,
following the example of their authors, we make
free to adjourn its publication until "after the

A NOBLE CHARITT.—The Managers of the
"Cooper Shop SoHare' Home," in Philadelphia,
have secured the large and commodious building
at the North-West corner of Race and Crown
streets, foreprly occupied as an Army Hospital,
which they have thoroughly repaired and neatly
fitted up as a retreat for disabled Soldiers and
Seamen who have been bonorabba discharged
from the land or naval service of the United
States, where they may enjoy the comforts of
home. The building was formally opened on
Tuesday leak with interesting ceremonies, to
which an invitation was kindly sent us. The
Managers, wishing to make its accommodations
immediately available, solicit contributions of
money, furniture, clothing, carpeting, bedding,
linen, provisions, books, Sc. The benefits of
this noble 'ARAI)? are Conferred upon all who
need them, from whatever part of the Union they
may come. We therefore commend it to the
generous sympathy and support of all our citi
zens who feel that "it is better to give than to
receive."
Tau CONSCRIPTION Law.-4n the liouse' of
Congress, on Wednesday, Mr. ANCONA, of Penna.,

commonly called the Conscription law, is oppres

Before taking action on the resolution, the
House adjourned.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TUE CONSONIPTION
LAW.—The Amendments to the Draft Laws, now
before Congress, repeal the $3OO commutation
clause and consolidate the two classes; that is,
make all between 20 and 45 liable to draft at
once. Persons procuring substitutes, are to be
exempted from any 'AIL are drafts during the
time for which such substitute has been accept
ed. Reports from Washington say that it is
doubtful whether the 000 commutation clause
will be stricken out. A majority of the Com

opposed to 'termini.

THE VOICE OF KENTUCKY,
The Abolitionists have the impudence to claim
as supporters of their rati;cal st.soir;nes the Un
ionists of ICentucky, now well represented by
Governor Bramiette, nod to place them in as
marked an untegonistu to the conservative De
mocracy- as they are the/melt - es. Thus, the
Now - lurk Tribime, it: copying a few detached
passages from G 0-rerti or Bramlot tea lost ineisege,
says with affected exultation, that it " will eon
.siderably dit.appoint the Northern partisans of
tri,ellicet who lace lately claimed hits as an
ally of the Peace Democracy." By the " North
ern partisans of rebellion," the Tribune, of course,
means the Democrats; for, with the mean.
spirited columniousness that has become habit
ual with the Radical press, it denounces all who
will not forswear themselves, and say amen to
the ttsurpatious of an Abolitionism" Adminis•
tration, as tt traitors." As we, however, arc
ignorant of the existende of any " partisans of
rebellion" in the Democratic ranks, we shall
take no notice of this libel, but g) to the Message
itself, which Tire Trihrore professes to admire so
numb. It is strongly Union in its sentiments 4.
and the Radicals can only make capital out of
this by persisting in their false claim of being
the exclusive Unionists of the North. They take
precious good care not to let their readers know
that Governor Itramlette is just as strong in his
condemnation of Abolitionism as he is in his ex
pressions of devotion to the Union. Indeed, he
holds, on this point, the precise idea of the De
mocrats—that the Union is the object of the ;ear,
and the negro the mere. — which is in
'necked contradistinction to the Radical notion,
now openly accepted by the Administration,
declared in 'gr. Lincoln's Message, that the ne
gro is henceforth to be the object for which we
must fight, and the Union and all else subordin-
Unionism, and the reader will see at a glance that
it is livery different article from The Tribune's;
ate to it. Ilere is a sample of Gov. Ilramlette•s
" The Union is indispensable to ns, and we
are indispensable to the Union. We Clilltiet,
therefore, separate, but must preserve our unity
which gives us cur nationality. Neither the
preservation nor the destruction or slavery is
essential to our State or National existence. Tito
State and the Nation can exist with or without
slavery. The Government was not formed for
the purpose of preserving or deetr:tying it, but to
perpetuate to latest time the blessings of free
government to the Anglo American. It is not,
therefore, opposition to slavery which consti
totes the danger to free government nor the ad
vocacy of it. Bet the danger th e ,ifort of
thee , who would make the life of the Government on
&ordinate to the status of the negro. It is as revo
lutionary and disloyal to subordinate the Gov
eepment to the question of his flOedom as to the
question of his enslavement. Tllle loyalty subor
thnntes all these gicest:ons to the preservation of the
covernment."
This has the old Union ring in it—it speaks
the voice of the National Democracy, with whom
the preservation of the Union was ever made the
paramount question, and for which it always
strove to cherish the spirit of mutual forbear
ance and compromise through which alone the
Union was formed. It is in perfect accordance
with the Unionism of Washington, of Jefferson,
of Madison, and of Jackson, and as diametrically
opposed to the sectionalism of the Hartford Con
vention Secessionists of Now England and their
counterparts in the South, sa Lincoln's Procla
mations are to the pledges of his Inaugural Ad
dress. The doctrine enunciated in this extract
is sound, Democratic and Constitutional. tics
not the Democratic party consistently held that
the Federal &averment has no right to estab
lish or aboliA slavery, and no right to make a
distinction between the domestic institutions of
one State and those of another ; and when it does
this, it acts in subversion of the ends for which
it was established ? And if Governor Bramlette
holds to the same doctrine, ai he clearly does,
how can the Radicals claim that he is in sympa
thy with them, who are now enforcing a directly
opposite theory?
The Governor, as is natural to a Southerner; ,
treats at length on slavery. He says that " the
vicious ambition of the Southern men, and the
bigoted fanaticism of men of the North, in giv
lag and accepting a sentient' quarrel about a
local institution, have forced upon us the most
gioundless, cruel, wicked, inexcusable warfare
that ever afflicted any people of the earth ; and
that the slave had no more necessary connection
with this rebellion than the horse or any other
species of property." Ile goes on to draw the
character of these extremists—Ncrth and Sotith
—and then "says—
Holding, as we do, that the people alone are
sovereign, and that the Federal Government rep.
resents the united sovereignty of the people for
national p poses, and that the State Gavel:wants
represents their sonereiynty within the limits of the
Slate and for local purposes, we Teel the more
keenly the wrong inflicted upon us by those de.
eying the foundation theory of our government,
and who make war upon its perpetuity—the one
asserting the supremacy of State rights, the
other ignoring the rights of the people within
State limits. By the Gat of the sovereign people,
this National Government exists ; by the acme fiat
State GovetnateWs exist, and each is limited to its
won sphere of action. Southern ambition strikes at
the national sovereignty of the people, and
Northern fanaticism at the sovereignty which, by
national fiat, is reserved to them within the
States. 'Each would form a new nod different
Government. The truly b:gul man is strugyliny to
maintain a government—not to rneie One. Tee
Government, we hove is better then any which
has ever preceded it, and superior to any suggested
by revolutionists. The secessionist who would
destroy the Government by force, and the fanitic
who would destroy by innovation, arc a like the
enemies of our Government. Tis Celdisr who
bares his bosom to the storm of war, does so un
der the conviction that be fights to maintain the
Government which blessed his fathers and sheltered
hie youth. The rebel fights to break up the Gov
ernment. The purpose of the fanatic is the same as
the rebel—to make a new, a different government
than the one for which our fathers toiled and
bled, and to maintain which our own brave eons
now offer up their lives a willing and' glorious
sacrifice. Rich is the common enemy of those who
adhere to the Constitutional Union, formed by the
wise men of the revolution."
Why does not The Tribune republish these ex
tracts, along with thelevrgarbled passages which
it tome to its own account?_ They would be re
freshing reading for ito rola' disciples, really
But, here again , we have only a reiteration of
the truths that Lc National Democracy have
enunciated, ever since this sectional controversy
began—that the Northertr Abolitionists and
Southern Secessionists are working (though by
different means) for a common object—the de
struction of the Government of our fathers—the
rebels by armed resistance to it, and the radicals
by innovation anti usurpation.
I Governor Bramlette deali with the negro very
differently from Sumner, Greeley, Lincoln & Co.
Rio words, all through, are fair and sound. " We
confess," he says, a stronger affection for the
white man than for the black, and believe this
Government was made for the white man ; that
ho ought to maintain and defend it. And we
further believe that the large amounts expended
to feed and support ' contrabands' would be touch
more judiciously and charitably expended in
supporting the suffering widows and orphans
left by our brave and gallant volunteers who
have fallen in camp and field." Is this the
"loyalty" that The Tribune delights to honor?
We rather think not. .0n the contrary, it will
disappoint the Northern partisans of the negro
even more than those imaginary "partisans of
the rebellion" that The Tribune conjures up, could
it give them an actual being.
And this, assuredly, is the sentiment of all
the true Union men of the South—the men who
have not debased themselves by selling their
birth right for the pottage of Executive patron
age. If some of the Representativos attic Bor—
der States in Congress talk anti Act differently,
let tio, in charity, remember that they owe their
seats to the base - net and not to the free hallo!,
and that, having consented to wear the collar of
servitude, they must be obedient to their masters.

Taw GREAT PRIZE FIGLIT.—The Asia brings
an account of the great fight for £l,OOO a side,
between Heenan and King, which took place on
the morning of the 10th, 'at Tunbridge, Eng
land. King won in twenty-five rounds, the fight
having lasted thirty-one minutes.
The London Timm devotee a leader to the affair,
and also publishes a graphic special account. It
editorially says :
Heenan was game throughout, from the begin
ning to the close of the fight, and he put the
' hug' on so as to crush his antagonist by dash
ing him to the ground. Ring's taeties were dif
ferent and more creditable to a professor of
pugilism. They consisted simply in striking a
series of sledge-hammer blows on the most
prominent and sensitive parts of lieenan'e phys•
tognomy, until the latter mdlared from exhaus
tion. The affair was over in twenty four rounds
and Ihirtylve minutes There appears to have
been little "science " on either side, but it was
nevertheless, a fair stand up fight, without a
cheek, and ended in a decisive victory for King.
The TiMele eeneludes its article by assertipg
that "prize fighting is more revolting than bull
fighting and ought to be discouraged."
• lII` SENATOB MLLE, of New Hampshire, in
his reply to the speech of Garret Davis, of Ken
tucky—a sketch of which will be found upon our
first page—said that if his (Halo's) party friends
were as bad as Mr. Davis made them, they were
not fit to be taken by the hand by pickpockets
and thieves. Two days after Otis indignant pro
testation, Mr. Hale was obliged to confess, in
open Senate, that h§ had taken bribes to the
amount of $3,000 for his services (only as a law
per, of course!) in procuring the release of two
political prisoners from the Old Capitol. He has
thus proved to the world that at least one mein
tier of the ruling party—and a Senator at that—
was as mean and corrupt. as Senator Davis had
charged. It is well that Hale is " loyal and pa
triotic," according to the present established
standard, or h't would soon find himself expelled
from the Senate.
TWENTY MILLION BOUNTY BILL.—The bill
