Campbell, on its way down the Mississippi, when-oppo site Milliken's Bend, Lonisiana, was fOtpadto be on fire. It was at once headed toward-the eastern bank of the riven But the flames AP/ 43 E4 so rapidly that before it reached the shore, all on board were obliged to spring into 'the stream. About thirty of them per ished. On board was a lady whose husband, as she stated, had been killed in the army. Stie had - with het a flaxen-headed- daughter, Pregably'four Airs old. - She may have rhitl other children.. She was - sick and unable to leave herbed; the chili% amid the confusion, got upon the deck, and,. seeing others jump into the:water, asked a soldier if she must ad so too. The ••soldier lost sight of her,,litit When he reached- the shore found her lying apparently' dead, upon the beach, He took her to -'a fire near by, and warmed and chakd her until she came to. After a while a boa coming up they 'river landed and.took the survivors across. to•the camp of the. Second 'Mississippi regiment, stationed at MilliVen's Bend. Major John. P. Robinson, of that regiment, saw the SOldier „leading the child, dripping wet, and :invited Itim 4 nato his tent, gave him his breakfaSt and Itecerved the child from'him. The child thus providentially cast, upon his care,,the Major, though a young man, resolved to adopt;'it if its relatives could not be found, and rear it as his own. Being unable to keep it'properly in camp,_ he sent it to his parents *Ashland, Ohio.

I:desire to state, sir; on my own account, why I urged the • bringing up of this resolution a second-time before the House; and I regret exceedingly thatifeetirerrunable this evening to enter upon a lengthy discussion of the subject,..and-go • over the whole ground. When I off. , red 'this resolution I had not the slightest, the, remotest, anticipation-of the ex traordinark course. which has - been purined in regard to It bygentlemen upontheotherside of the House, nor of, the extraordinary discussion to which it has . given:rke. I made no manner - of preparation to support it upon this floor by e speech, for I regarded the justice of such a. provision in the law for the adjudicatkn and settlement of:these claims tole, so self-evident as to require no support from me nor from any; one else. The simple question with which we have to deal is, shall the loyal' people of Penn sylvania be taxed .te.riixy the. claims for dam ages of those who, by their encouragement and invitation to-the rebels to invade 'our State; have brought. those' kisses upon • us; shall the people who,bave contributed so freely of their blood and treasure to carry on the war for the Union against i .treason and rebellion be now compelled make good the losses of traitors and rebels occasioned by their alders and abettors? , In offering this resolution, air, I had not the slightest intention of charging the:Democratic party as a Mass with' disloyalty. There is no such charge contained in the resolution either expressed or implied; and why is it; air, I ask, that gentlemen upon he other side put suclra construction non it 17why is it. that tbey make such an application of language which had no reference to them? . I can only account for it one way, and that, is that they 'have' not acted their parts as loyal and true patriots in this war for the: preservation of the Govern ment. The man who has a conscience void of guilt winces not arhei4 guilt is spoken of in his presence; but,'On the other hand,.it is a; rue saying that a--guilty conscience is its own tie - ewer. If the gentlemen upon the other side and the party which they represent feel In their hearts that they are loyal, and true to their Government and its history, if they:feel and know that they - have honestly and faith fully stood by the Gpvernmen t in this great strug gle against treason, why should they depre cate investigation ,'• 'why should they fear to have ` their' ' conduct and notions reviewed, why should they, when the word."dia layalty" is uttered in this hall ? haven made no charges against the Democratic party, in this House, but, they have made, charges against themselves by their application• of the language of , this resolution. s It has ‘been so, • sir, since the berninencement 'of the 'session. Whenever • a remark, has been dropped,upon this aide of the.fleor in condemnation of rebels and rebel sympathirsers, the gentlemen upon the other side haye:always sprung up:and prol. tested againstemalt attacks upon the DithoratiP party. lidn-Speaker, I should be sorry indeed_ to believe that_the masses of the. Democratic party of the,Present day are disloyal at . heart I have never made inch a charge either, upon the hustings.or mpon the floor of this House, notwithstanding the, insinuation of the gentle man from.NorthuMberland that I owe'uty suc cess in the electicnilast fall to my, ,denuncia dons of the Democratic party. But the gentleman from,Ncrthuniberland to what, in a great 'mnappre,:i owed that steels. ,It was to the fact thatmearly every Demooraticmeet ing, so eilled, held in that county was - a.dis graceful scene dr drunkenness and roikdyitim, of men waving, their bats and cheering-.for Vallandigham: It was, sir, because. Demo cratic orators - traversed that county frqm'celitre to oircumferenee,,sPouting such cold' Voids of treason-.that theMetter portion of their party left them and voted the Union ticket. Ido not alone mean the lower order - of Deuttkintia stamp orators:.. Imay refer to'a partiqular ex-. ample. A distinguished leader of the Demo; erotic party, a' vet:lid-be candidate for Governor of this CoMmonMealth, came into thet Ounty• in the course of•the campaign, , ansf in,•_ono of his speeches trithe Democracy there • said that Yallandiglaani Vas . to be elected in Ohio and Woodward; hi:. Parinsylvania; that they' *paid act in conjunction- ith Parker, of New Jersey, and Seymour, of'Nhw York, and , that this mis erable abolition administration would lie eons= pelled to makepeace. , , • I say this, air , - Pbave made no sweeping al legations of clisioyalty against the Democratic party; but I. do say, and I say it, ,boialt, and fearlessly,. that the now recogniied iesiders of that party are disloyal men. Ido say that the honest ; yeoirtan* 'of the Democratic, arty have been led.into,,opposition to,the' Governraent and tacit encouragement of the rebellion through that effort® of these designing dema4! gognes, hair . ° constituted themeeletis the I leadats of that party, and who care for nothing loaven but' the advancement •of their' lotertailti,.,3thave as much. love riow for "t - • demo ' Oa' 44,1100010 Y, tjx3 CraCy . 0 erson, pare a ` . ..td Jackson, es ever had, and From boyhood 'rvio.„7 educated ill:that-faith.; and that my d emocracy' 4 4•- ou nm e y t w i a t dav my , par he , government My.c `ms i d e "4l6b t when mount to orery,other _ that government_was thrL'ste tse d lvith destruc tion by traitors, I:Should no. etop consider , eirLns t fn h e i t. whether:,'Or not, as a Democrat, ently support :a :_Republican Preet.:'ed_r' , the s efforts tcrsubdue the rebellion enema Nation; but that my duty as a loyal-citizeri and as a trite.DaMarat was to render all the aid' could to:the_euppression of the rehellion: t And I say, sir, that man who withholda' • 1;.IX Osifttr -, ante government when it la engaged in a death - .ettuggle with armed treason; from paltry party considerations, -is - neither a true Democrat:nor'-a.

Does he mean that . every slave which this war has set free, and who bas helped us to fight our battles, shall be returned to his rebelinaster? Does he mean that we shall crush 'daiiiihe great grief welling up in our heat for our desolate hearthstones and deserted! homesteads? Does he mean that ; we shall smooth our brows and humble ourselves as of old beforeithe arrogant aristoernoy, of the South, and submit to be ridden over in the future as we have been in the past? If that is meant by "the Union as it was," • then I tell tlie &Alt man from. Philadelphia and his coadititers on, the .other, side of the *use, I,am not for the: Union as it, was. lam for crushing . the re hellion, and with it.that which gave it MA; so that, until the end of time - there never can again occur in this land a war of slavery and slave' power -against the Government.. In In the' progress of this dtscussion..me are again Met by-the old cry of thelaincenstitution-- ality cf the acts of this administration. That same cry from the same seurcelhasiihen,dinned in our ears since the commencement of the rebellion. It has been made the acreen be.. hind.which Northern treason -has continually veiled itself. At •the outset, when-an a:my of traitors, ready drilled and equipped,precipitateti. themselves upon us, when their guns were trained upon the very capitol of the nation,.tbe call of the Prisident for seventyfive• thousand velun teers was met I y this cry of Unconstitutionality. Every effort which the National/ Government has put forth. since that time his been greeted in like manner. I look in vain, Mr. Speaker, in that Constitution for any rights guaranteed to rebels. The people of the South wilfully and deliberately renounced their allegiance to this Government, made war upon this •very Constitution and fired upon the very flag of the nation. What rIghTS havethey then under this Conetitption? _ the right' 'which in all time, in all countries and under all govern ments; has been granted to traitors—the right to hang between heaven and earth , [4- plause.] • = • But, sir, the gentleman from •Northumber lava tells us that freedom of Speech and of the press le denied, that we are living 'under a despotism because treasonable newspapers been suppressed, and such traitors as Vall'an digham and Mahoney and so on, arrested and banished, or sent to.a military prison; because men here fn the NOrth are not allowed to de nounce their Government and uphold the rebel lion, to, convey information and encouragement to rebels, to discourage enlistmente, and throw every obstacle in the way of ,carrying on'the War, Sir, the great. difficulty all along. has been that, too few arrestrilaaye born Made. If more of these Seine traitors had been caught and hung, the war would have been over long Freedom of speech denied! Why, -sir, 'the very fact that memare allowed to,stand ups on this floor and deneunce the Government, is proof positive that there is too much ,free speech, The very feet that papers ovef the country are permittedfrom% week to, week pour out their vituperation and slander against the constituted authorithei GoyeinnientOf the United States, to..sssert that ' the war' is un holy, unjust, is gut:rick:lA evidence that thereis too much freed= of the press. AO while ,r am referring to the gentleman from Northumberland; let me notice another particular. He says my remarks the other day in reference to the mobbing of his peeks were more in commendation than in condemnation of the act. He goes on to say that•the :Demo cratic party have always been opposed to 'mob law, thereby Insinuating that the 'opposite party have been encouraging -it. Mr. Speaker,' I'have never, nor do Lnow, attempt to 'justify mob livr; and I must Say his insinuation'frill-, timed` in, view of lhe•riots•which took Place in tha city of New York last Summer; and when he says that mob has-been supizeisia TO der Democratic adidnistrations; - I pdint the •gentleman to the history of the South•for•yiars and years before the outbreak of this rebellion, when a Northeraman bolding -extreme views in regard.to 'sravety, dare notput hiSfoot upon Southern soil for fear of being robbed and mur dered. • • • • But, sir, to come back to the point upon, which I was spooking; and I shall be-very brief; for I am-not able - to speak long.upon this ques tion. I ask, sir, if 'any loyal manicotti:his lib erty to be any the less •on account of these ar bitilory arrests. Iftive:any of us Suffered by it? Do we not walk atilsitfely r throrighthe.day and rest as securelrin:thetight as-we ever did?

'Douglas, let =said What he said lri,referened to 014 i -duty of patriotic citizens: "lii vieWof gifts state of facto, there was but one patb,of dutyleft t 6 patriotic men. It was not a,partrqueetion Involving partisan policy. It Was a 9nestion of government-on no govern ment., CoMitry Or no . corintry; and 'hence it be came thelcaperative duty of every - Union man and every Mend of constitutional liberty to rally to the support gouts common country, its government and and'its flitg, as the only means of checking the progress of the revolution and preserving the Union of the States. •I know of no mode by .which: a, loyal citizen may so well dernonatrate his loyalty to his country as by sustaining the flag, the Conetitutiodend the Union raider all circumstances and under every Administintlon; (regardless of party politics,) against all assaults at home and abroad " Mr. Speaker, the muse of Clay and Webster during the administration of General 'Jackson, in `the dayi of nullification, presents a noble and a worthy example to all true patrickte,; and in our own day, Daniel S. Dickinson and a host of other patriots have, in the day of our na tion's trial, given their support to the Govern alihough they took no part in the elec tiorf of thoss who now administer it. What a contrast:with such men ,as .'ernando Wood, Vallandigham, Reed and other followers, whose every act has' had for Its object to embarrass . the Government My colleague (Mr. &nova) has spoken of this resolution as extraordinary in its requirement that persixts . applyilw tir Indemnity shall plOve their loyalty. srr, if I understand anything about theleneral laws geverning such cases, It is the law of every. hind and country-that a subject claiming• compensation for damages done by the common enemy must prove his loyalty and faithfulness to his country or Crown. The same gentleman has also referred in glowing terms to the opponent of my colleague (Mr. Wanes.) I would say that be was not the only one who had worn the uniform of the Government; whcee loyalty was questioned. Some who had attained even a higher position have hem served in the same way;-and if that candidate was not elected, it was because he Was NOW iated by the loyalty of a Democratic district. - MI? Speaker, the leader's of the Democratic party bkour city ha's*, ei all occailons, misrep resented' eat party and attempted to`secure votes by vietking On the preindices of the foreign vo ters. I call to the mind of : My colleague on the other side, of - the House one fact. A newspaper publishet, in Philadelphia, managed by a Demo ciat who would have liked to rape sera tbe:Sixteenth:; Congressional district of our 'State' s ' (la idriCli„ - however, there were too many loyal voters' to allow him to do it,) stated 'a. Vile slander 'against-- me,' and at tempted: to use ft -tit-defeat me in my desttict. be rememberatiaat at a pieVious session, I read in 'plate a bill, %entitled An *act to in-- •cormirate an Emigtation Society; Which em powered the stockholders, incase of the ab sconding of a petty before he had paid, all the advances made by the company, to bring him back, or if the absconding party gave security he 'must .be released. Thil was plecaided abroad at an application of -the fugitive slave law to-white men. They`further said .that we desired "epaulettes for negroes, and . hand cuffs for Irish and Dutch." WhY, Mr. Speaker, there was not a section in the bill that'worad compare in stringency with the powers of mas ters ender our apprentice system, to bring back their absconding apprentices, And again, every man named in the bill as a corporator, with two exceptions; was an Irishman and a Demo -mat. And yetthese leaders'of the Democratic patty, by such vile slandent, would, attempt to serve their rebel .brethren ,by defeating loyal . . . men. . Mr. Speakerorhat the patriot desires in this struggle is, not that a party may win, but they the country may- bereaved; and, if our Demo cratic, ,leaders ; would_ follow the teachings of Clay. end 'WOW:el', whom thOY at this time, profess threvem.E9 much, we might.kust their ;loyalty. But, we hare too many proofs of the opposite kipd. Who. does pot, remember that *Jest _session, when • Apdrew : Johnson, a ,lOyal .Democrat of Tennessee, aske4fpr •thlt4se of this Hall, thathi3g t ig4t k cidaisse-bia fellOw-citi sans, that Ovilege wear:44MA by tivivetes of "Democrata÷thank [kid; 'not by all; and when someone,-IknOw'fibt Who, plaoarded the names Of thew wlidtbus refined thelikll, some of those rnaMberagloried is it, jgstifyins., the act, and claiming.that,. if just such placards is those were 'Pared in their dif.tricfs, they Would be at no expoie ' for elebtioneering" purposes Is there not 'reason Why the - gantlemen• on the other, sideAwe ♦ so sensitive. - upon the question of loyalty, 'when We haye. indubitable proof that their leaders are in Sympathy with the rebels? • • • • . MYcolleague (Mr. Basalts) has spoken dis paragingly of the condition of our commerce and our manufacturing and 'mechanical opera tions during this war.. Does not the gentleman know that at no time in our country's history have we been so prositerois as now—that 'at no time have our-mechanics and artisans been bet tor-remunerated than now? From every work shop and mill ;we Thearther busy hum of the spindle. The coned of the hammer and the anvil ia heard everywhere throughthe country. And'at no time have workmen in all branches been better paid: look at our • own - city of Vhiladeiphia. Heretofore every winter, soup societies and Charitable essceatiors have been taxed to their utmost capacity to pro*ide for the of the indigent. Such is not the case:now: , -There is not nearly the amount of destitution that existed in former years. The gentleman has also spoken of the horrors of war. Let: rue say, Alr. Speaker, Unit our people have no taste fir war. .They.delight iu the pursuits.of. peace, and deeply pity the de ludelfpeople of theSonth. They feel the heavy burdens of taxation:: het they say, " prosecute this war till the last aimed"rehel expires," ' Sir, I . 116*only: to say that , I Can see no oh 'jectitat whiiiCany loyal..T than . could have to PRICE. - TWO FITS. ooming.forward and preser , ting - hisOlidni latfkir this resolution; and he who asonokproTe him- . Self to , be a loyal roan should not reetilve frotir this Conmonweedth one iota for turf dank* ft done duriog the raids by the rebels, or by our own troops. I trust , that when the vote shall . be taken, there will be a large majority on this. floor in favor of the adoption of this resolution: Mr. ORWIG. - Mr. Speaker, I do not pro pose, on this occasion, to - occupy the time of the House in anylengthy.: discussion upon this question. :The resolution simply proposes to apply the tat of loyalty to a certain class of clabriants 'egainst the 'CtOvernment. Gentle men on the other side d =the House:evidently _domot want that tort applied, and, as a conse quence, they propose to pay out millions of public money without discrimination, as well to disloyal as to loyal claimants. This, Mr. -Speaker, Is a matter of serious importance to Ihripeople of this : Commonwealth. In conse queeme of the several invaslonsof our State by the re berate:lles, the, people of - the border COllll - lest much valuable propertf, While, at the same time,' the people_ of the middle and northern counties lost much valuable time, es., - peude.dlarge 81=13 of money and suffered many hardships, privations and lons to drive these invaders from our borders. Now, sir, the gentleman from Franklin; by the bill which he has presented, proposed to pay the ,citizens of the border counties for the losses which they sustained. When the bill itself comes to be considered in this House, I shall endeavor to state my objections to it: At this time we have undee consideration only the resolution instructing the committee that has this bill in charge to add to that bill a sec tion requiring a -proof of the. loyalty of the. claimants. Now air, It is an unaccountable thing to me, and it has been a matter. of surprise to this side of the House generally, that our friends on the other side of the Hall' exhibit so much sensiriveneso, and fly into ouch a terrible passion at the bare propc,sitian that disloyal men ehould not be paid out of the treasury of the Commonwealth for kens Which theyinitained in consequence of their own acts. rcennot think, sir, that the gentlemen fairly and. truly represent the great body of the Democratic party of Fennaylvania: I belieie, sir, that this occasion hae been seized upon for the purpose of building up or upholding a totter ing and crumbling orginazeticm. Ido not think, sir, than the, constituents of these gen tlemen who here declare, or openly beast that they would be excepted 'from the benefits of this appropriation by the application of this rule, fairly reyretent thelreatDemoeratie party _of, 'ennsylvania. Why, sir, I had the satisfaction myself of ?mir ing, full two years or more ago, the speech, or at least part of the speech which was delivered in this House a few days ago _by the gentleman from Northumberland (Air. rEilltrf.) And I re gret exceedingly that that gentleman is not in his seat to-night; 1 hope be will havevan op portunity, before this debate closes,,,to reply to anything I may eay,concerning himself or his constituency - . The gentleman from Northumberland has charged the Republican party with being the disloyal party—the cause of this unholy and unrighteono war, and the cause of all the bloqdsbed and Bettering and aorta* that bate ratite& from • it. -He 7 boattd that haland 'thaw who' act:with: hini politically; evipseent the,enly tom and lapel yarty in this Cemmon wealth. Now, Ni. Speaker, the gentlemanbas further informed us that he is the edger-of a Democratic paper in the district whiciehe represents. I desire, edr, to refer to his issue of April 19th, 1861—about the perialof the-com mencement of this war... In that paper he re ,fers approvingly to the resolutions of what he styles 'a great and enthusiastic 'Democratic meeibig," at which they oßesoked, That the rapid developments of the last five months have rendered the exist once of the Southern Confederacy a fixed fact, and that we pre opposed to every form - of Co ercion, under whatever pretext, of enforcing law, collecting revenue or re-taking' property which may lead Ufa -Conflict with the seceded 'States:" ' e•-• . • ... This, sir, is a resolution adopted at "a great and enthusiastic Damps:wile meeting." This, sir; was the position, at that time, of the Democratic party, whichrnow,..prides itself as being, as it claims always .Icr have been, the great champion of the Constitution of the union. f these States. , Tlyere,;sir, by "a great and enthusiastic meeting," they declared the establishment of the. Southern Confederacy a fixed-fact and deprecated all efforts on the part of the National Government to suppress it. Now, sir, this fialnO..paper—isoued on the 19th of April, 1861 7 -the-feet issue, ,believe, after. the proclamation cf President Dincoln calling for seventy. five thousand men to sup press the rebellion--dees,not contain one letter t or one syllable . of that proclamation, while at the same time . yon will flnd, in alretost every column of that 'paper, displayed in. glowing capitals, the name of President Davis and the whole of his prociamations—e:ve4 Word, every syllable, every letter. - Now, sir, 'I would ask the gentleman from Ndrthnmberland, where did he give the in fluence of his publication? Where did be give the aid and encouragement and assistance that he; as a private indtvidnaltmd the,pritollisher of a newspaper was - pleased to' render 'upon that trying and important =mien in the-his tory of our country ? Why, sir, is not the fact staring us all in the face that he gave his as sistance and WM:tenets, whatever theee may have been, to the Bide of the Southern Confed eracy ? Did he not recognise that arch-rebel and traitor, Jsfferson Davis, as the lawful Preshlent of an established government? . • It would perhaps be tedious, and .would oc cupy the time of this House at too greatlength to follow up the record thatlithkgentlemas hai made for himself during 'theory: troublesome which have followed the 'dote.of his newspaper to which Ihaverefeirred. Suffice it to.say, that, if you will examine thecaumns of that paper, and compare the recouithat this gentleman has made for himself, and' the re cord that the Democratic party . hi ,that.part of the State have formed folthernselVea, you will find that they have adhiyiedlo these Ideas and pursued that counoY 4 of.:oonduct frcim that day to this.
