Every Union, man is found on the side of.
the brave ,defenders of their country, while
the copperheads even refuse to granfi them the
privilege of electing their own rulers. After
these amendments had been disposed of,
Speaker Penney addresied the Senate at
length on the subject of organization, `and re
signed his seat as Speaker of the Senate, but
the Union men re-elected him immediately
again -and he presides with his usrial . dignity
Its Speaker:
Speech of lion;4Ohn D. Watson.
The discussicin l ef the, resolUtion prcividing
for the indemnification of: those who suffered
loss during the rebel raid into Pennsylvania,
has taken a wide range. In one sense, it is to
be regretted that legislative debate should be
thus licensed to run into an irrelevancy which
can only be productive of evil- 7 -while in
another view we have no present ,regrets to et.-
press, as the privilege has elicited , a speech of
the power; eloquence, candor and fearlesiness
• which distinguish the effort of ,TOlm D. Watson,
member of the House frorii
: print this speech this afternoon. It is deci
dedlY the ablest effort made in the House
during the session—able, beeause it abounds
with facts and, arguments which completely
overwhelmed. our opponents—and because
also it exhibits a dignity and sincerity which
cannot fail to command for its distinguished
author the confidence ands •the respect of
his - constituents. During the debate of the
• resolution in order hi thisdisousgicia,
win was charged by Mr. Barger, with having
treated his opponent, Capt. Whalley with clisz
courtesy, by attempting to ignure his military
claim during the contest of the election. The
manner in which. Mr, Watson, explodes this
charge, leavei Barger in a sad plight, as to ve
racity. In fact, the manner in which; the elo
qtient Philadelphian disposes of the capper
head assaults upon his friends•andhis country
is at once the evidence of his ability as a leg
islator and his power as an orator.
The News, from New ilampshlre am l New
York.
It seems strange, but it is nevertheless true,
that Whenever good 'news from the army in
the field'or the loyal men at home battling.
for the Government, is to be transmitted over
the telegraphic wires, it-is confined - to a lim
ited number of newspapers, while the great
Majonly, of the journals, parties to the "As
sociate. Press Organization," are deprived of
inch .intelligence. The news of the glorious
result of the election, yesterday,- in 'New
liamPshire and 11ew Icorlr, should have, and
Would'have been ,priblished in our edition of
this morning, had the Aigooliate Press agent
in Philadelphia dis Charged his obligation to
ts, and gave us . an equivalent, for our money.
We pay liberally for such dispatches,. but
when thg news is important we are
swindled, just as we were` cheated this morn

the initial movements of our own organiza
tion, while many of them are over-ambitious
and seek to stride ahead of their time, still
have principle, to fall-back : upon, as.. a salve
for any personal disappointment they may ea r
perience while looking out for "the loavei
and fishers." But the men most disappointed
with the popular favor now running in the
rection of Mr. Lincoln; are thoseof the oppo
sition who had calculated not only to destroy
him as a statesman and a citizen, -but who
-had hoped to gather from the divisions in his
`own 'Party • organization, a triumph.. which
would change, not only the forni of the Gov
ernment, prostituting its mighty energies to
the rule of the slave povier ; but they had
looked for a victory which should affect the
very des tinyof the nation itielf. The leaders
.
of the Democratic party never-'calculated for
victory refthe merits of any man they could
possibly select as a candidate for the Presi
dency. These demagogues never hoped to
secure the support of thaloyal masses of. the
free States. For once in their lives; they pur
sued an open, bold: and frank course in sup
port of treason and a base conspiracy to de
itrorthe•National Union. They did this, so
that'wheii they became victorious they would
be consistent in following out their profes
sions and performing their purposes. They
did this, because they were confident that the
loYal biasses of the loyal States would be dis
tracted, divided, into bitter:factions, each With
a relentless antagonism for the other. To'
this point- the Deniocratle, leaders directed
their energied. And `how have they realized
their hopes Let the wonderful - unanimity
of the masses- of the American people in fa
vor'of Abraham Lincoln 'answer. Let town
ships and towns and counties in all the loyal
Statee, answer. Never before, in the history
of any party, has such a spectacle been pre
sented, as that which is exhibited by, the en
thusiasm of the masses in favor. of Abraham
Lincoln. It,puzzles the conninipoliticians ;
amazes .the crafty leaders of cliques; dishiest-,

utter confusion, the hopes and the plots of .the -
Democratic 'leaders: The traitors in the Sotth

the hands of their sympathiiins in the North.

mules, horses, hogs, cattle,&c. These are the
