EXPULSION. OF JESSE D. BRIGHT.
The Senate refused this morning to concur in
the amendments made by the House to the Sen
ate resolution relative to the expulsion of Jesse
D. Night from the United States Senate. Ihe
House adjourned at an early hour this morning,
and before action had been had on the amend- .
ments in the Senate. The action of the Senate,
therefore, cannot be communicated to that
body, and the resolutions will have tailed in all
probability to accomplish the desired object, as
the vote was expected to be taken this after
noon in the Senate of the United States.
The vote on concurring.in the House resolu
tion is as follows :
YEAs—MeEsrs. Clymer, Donavan, •Glatz
Lamberton, Mott, Reilly, Smith, (Montgomery,
and Stein-8.
NAYS --Mews. Benson, Boughter, Bound,
Connell, Crawford, Fuller, Hamilton, Miestand,
Imbrie, Johnson, Ketcham, Landon, Lawrence,
Lowry, Meredith, Nichols, Penney, Robinson,
Send!, Smith, (Philadelphia,) Wharton, and
Hall, Speaker.-22.
So the question was determined in the nega
tive.
Every Democrat voted to concur except. Mr.
Crawford, who voted against the concurrence.
Messrs. M'Clure and lash, Republicans, and
Mr. Kinsey, Democrat, were abElent.
THE BRIGHT CASE-SPEECH OF WA.
TOR WILMOT.
We print the able and pointed speech of
Senator Wilmot on the question of the trea
sonable correspondence of Jesse D. Bright,
United States Senator. The suspected and
coniOssed complicity of Bright with the slave
holders rebellion, his avowed extreme senti
ments on the subject of secession, and other
unmistakable proof, has made it a matter of
surprise that the circumstances' of his Case
should have been so long a matter of debate
among graveand loyal Senators. Senator Wit
moils of the same opinion, becatise`he treats the
matter with a brevity evincing his impatience at
the delay of the expulsion. His speech is forcible
and argumentative. He deals in facts which
there is no denying, and offers arguments hard
to refute, to justify the expulsion of Bright.
In this respect, this speech has an attraction
which . will make it very popular with the
pe,oplo of PeonsylvAnia, the great majority of
whom favor its objects end respond to its senti
ments.
We HAYS NEVER KNOWN AN ADVOCATE OF
IAMB! who is in favor of a vigorous and
immediate prosecution of the war. Those who
favor the institution see in the triumph of the
federal forces its annihilation ; bccause peace
must either be accomplished by a compromise
with the demands of the traitors for certain
p, ivilege enhancing the power and influence of
slavery, or peace must be won at the point .
of the bayonet by the total. extinction or
partial distruction of the influence of slavery on
the politics and government of the country.
Those who are opposed to the uncompromising
prosecution of the war,are the men who secretly
contemt late the adjustment of our difficulties
by recognizing the right of secession, and
making this right the basis of a compromise.
Thus, whenever yon hear a man opposing the
uncompromising prosecution of the war, put
him down as a secessionist in disguise. Secession
is the issue with the rebels. Secession for the
protection of slavery, is the object of the
rebellion, so that the attempt to make war to
crush rebellion without interfering with slavery,
would be as absurd as the attempt of the dough
faces to disguise the issues of the contest.
GINBRAL pilaff has over three hundred acres,
which, though they He within the limits of
the city of Detroit, have no stores or houses
built upon them. For this property he was
taxed on a vualuation of over $200,000. His
man of business objected, but when he went
before the Assessors to make his objection good,
he found a land broker present who offered him
$400,000 in cash for the property, and had a
large sum of money in his hands as a proof
that he meant what he said. As the land will
be iyorth to , the General's grandchildren three
Or four times the amount, the offers was de
.
alined and the taxes paid.
Raw TO CONQUIR TEM ItEi 3 ELL—James Brooks,
of the New York Exuma, writes from Wash
ington, that President Lincoln could end the
war in six months, if he could only convince
the Rebels that they had, under the Constitution,
all the rights for which they are fighting. Mr.
Brooks must be a man of a great deal of sagaci
t"; the South is fighting to establish the right
of.Becession, and if we will only concede that,
and let them divide the Union, we can have .
peace. The logic of Mr. Brooks is certainly
convincing.
BARBARISM AMONG TAE REBELS.
Since the rebellion commenced, one hundred
and thirty-five light-houses erected by the
United States on the southern coast have been
destroyed by the rebels, in consequence of
which, several British and Spanish vessels have
been wrecked, as well as some Americans.
These extinguished lights were established to
promote the safety of the commerce of the
world—not for the exclusive use of vessels
carrying the flag of the Union, and their des
truction is nothing less than an act of wanton
barbarism against all mankind. In that view
such acts have always been regarded by civilized
nations. But the English press, which has
declaimed so loudly about the vandalism -die
played by the federal authorities in attempting
a sub-marine blockade of the rebel port of
Charleston, can see nothing wrong' in the de
molition of these light houses. It is related
of Louis XIV. of France, that being at .war
with England during the building of the Eddy .
stone'Light-hogee, a , Fttlich privateer took the
men at work upon the rock, together with
their tools, and carried them to France, for
which achievement the captain was in expecta
tion of a reward from his government. While
the captives lay in prison, the transaction
reached the ears of. Louis, who immediately
ordered them to be released, and the, captors
to be put in their places, declaring that, though
he was at war with England, he was not so
with mankind. Re therefore directed the men
to-be sent back to their work, with presents—
observing that " the Eddystone Light-house
was so situated as to be of equal service to all
nations having occasion to navigate the chan
nel between England and France."
Speech of Senator Wilmot on the
Bright Expulsion.
DELIirEEED IN THE ITNITED STATES SCUTS JANE
ART 30, 1862
Mr. WILMOT. Mr. President, I shall be
brief in whatl have to say on this case. To
me it seems to lie in a very narrow compass.
Before proceeding to speak of the case, I de
sire to say that my relations with the Senator.
from Indians are of such a character that .I shall
with pain vote to, expel him from his seat in
this body. Seventeen years ago we met in this
Capitol ; both young men, and both members
of the then dominant party. Since then we
have differed widely, touching public men and
measures ; yet through all the heat and bitter
ness of political warfare, for the past fifteen
years, I have remembered with pleasure our
early acquaintance and intercourse. I sincerely
regret the position in which, the Senator is
placed. A. sense of public duty alone constrains
me to vote for his expulsion from the Senate.
What is the case presented against the Sena
tor from Indiana? It rests upon no disputed
or doubtful facts Every important fact in the
case is admitted—full confession is made in
open Senate. The Senator from Indiana tells
us that he would, under the same circum
stances, do again the act complairied of.' Mr.
President, the Senator's views of duty and my.
own differ so widely, that what he regards as
innocent and natural, as a proper courtesy to
au old friend„ to me has the teatares of disloy
alty—not to eve it the harsher name of tree
What, sir ' are the facts'aild circumstances of
this case The slaveholders of the nation, re-,
lying on human slavery as the bond of their
unity and strength, unwilling that the free mere
of the republic should assume the management
of government affairs, set on foot a rebellion io
the southern and' States of the
Union. When this letter was written, it had
been carried forward to the organization of an
independent government.; the machinery of
that government was in active operation. .
Armies were being organized, disciplined and
equipped, to maintain the rebellion by the
power of the sword. Every reasonable hope
of a settlement was passed. The Senator from
Indiana knew all this ; no rnan knew`it better.
It is true, from the timidity---I might almost
say complicity—of the late administration no
blow had been struck at this formidable rebel
lion ; still those concerned in it were no less
traitors for this cause. The cowardice or even
treachery of Mr. Buchanan could in no degree
excuse Davis and his co-workers in treason.
The forbearance of the government towards the
traitors cannot be pleaded by them in extenua
tion of their crime ; nor can their eiders and
abettors shield themselves behind the weakness
and treachery of those then in power. Yet
here rests one of the strong grounds of defence
taken by and for the Senator from Indiana.
The government had done nothing against the
rebellion! It had brought no armies in the
field ! bad fought no battles ! '•A fear that
betrayed like treason" had paralyzed the Exe
cutive arm, and the government was sinking
into imbecility and contempt ! How does all
this change the character of the rebellion, or
extenuate the crime of those involved in it ?
The Senator from Indiana admits that he could
not have written the letter with innocence after
the proclamation of President Lincoln calling
for seventy-five thousand men. Why not, if
he could do so before? Did the proclamation
change the position of Davis towards this gov
ernment? Did it involve any one In guilt
who, up to that time, was innocent? Was it
innocent for Lincoln to go upon his errand
with an improved fire-arm to the confederate
government before the proclamation, and trea
sonable to go afterwards? It is idle to look
here for any extenuation of the case whatever.
The proclamation of the President in no way
affects it.
Jeffars9n Davis was the chosen chief of the
rebel government. He was every inch a trai
tor. The Senator from Indiana knew the
damning treason- of his friend and former as
sociate. His crime was a wicked one —the
moat so of any of which man can be guilty—
the deepest dyed and blacked in the catalogue
of crime.
To me it seems that many gentlemen of the
late Democratic party are afflicted with a moral
obliquity in the view they take of this wicked
rebellion and its authors. The leading traitors
so long dominated over the Democratic party
that the fragment that now remains seems to
connect the rebellion ivih a struggle for Demo
cratic ascendency, and the leading traitors as
friends having strong claims cm their sympathy.
Evidently the Senator from Indiana was strong
ly possessed of this view of the treason and the
traitors. -
To • judge rightly of the act of the Senator,
we must look at the rebellion and its chief as
they truly are—tho one as a treasonable revolt
against a just government, and the other as
the chief of traitors. He was no other than
a rank traitor, a great State crimin
•that the
Senator addressed on the first of March as "his
excellency, the president of the confederated
states," commending to his confidence as "re
liable in every respect " one who sought the
rebel government on a treasonable errand.
What was the errand on which the Senator
from Indiana commended his friend to the
usurper and traitor at Montgomery ? It was
no other than the sale of an alleged improved
fire-arm. Have I stated the case too strongly
against the Senator from Indiana ? I would
not do so. To me, sir, it has , the complexion
of a great crime. I will not cal it, treason, al
though it might be difficult to find a more ap
propriate name for it.
wennevivartia Ctitgrapth uteban ltatirnoon, icbruary 4, 1862.
It was well said. by the Senator from New
York, (Mr. HARRIS,) that if the letter had not
been written, or if its essential part were taken
away, it wo uld' be a very Innocent thing, and
no Senator would think of expelling the Sena
tor from Indiana from his seat. Untorinnate
ly, the letter was written. An indictment for
murder, permit sue to say to the Senator from
New York, with the homicide clause out, would
be a very harmless piece of paper.
Mr. President, I have briefly considered to
whom this letter was addressed—to a desperate
traitor. It commended to his fullest confidence
one who entertained a traitorous purpose, and
the matter of the letter was most treasonable.
Here is the whole case, and it sounds of treason
in every part.
What was the position and relation to the
government of the Union of him who wrote
the letter? He was 'quieter, one of the high
officers of the government—a sworn, confiden
tial adviser of the . President. What was his
plain and bounden duty? To Stand by the
government; with all his energies and power.,
' To be vigilant, constant, and untiring- ht his
efforts to crush the rebellion, and to bring to
punishment ita-leading—traitors. This was his
duly. Can it beyxsaibls that a loyal Senator
could so .far forget this high duty , as to hold
communication with the rebellious government,
touching the purchase of an improved fire arm?
It cannot be postale. No loyal cithen weld have
done it, much less a loyal Senator. Forgetful
of his duties, unfaithful to his senatorial trust,
he Is no longer worthy of a seat in this Senate.
With all respect for my colleague, and for
the honorable Senator from New York, I trivet
Pay. that in my judgment they hive taken a
narrow and technical view of this cage. They
deal with the Senator from Indiana as one on
hie trial for treason, and themselves as judges
or jurors sworn to try , him under all the tech
uical' rules of presumptions and reasonable
doubts, applicable in !rich cases. Herein they
greatly err. We sit here in trial upon the
Senator from Indiana, not to protiounce judg
ment spinet him for the crime of treason, but
to'say by our votes, under the facts before us,
if he be a loyal and safe man to sit in this high
council of State.
Mr. COWAN. I desire to ask my honorable
colleague, it Mr. Bnistiii is not guilty of treason,
what is'he guilty of?
Mr. WILMOT. I will answer my colleague
by saying that if I Were called %an to-day to
give any definition of his offence I should pro
nounce it treason ; but I am frank to admit
that if 1 were sitting as a juror, there aro
th se doubts hinging about .the case that
would make me hesitate to pronounce a ver
dict of guilty ; but as a Senator, I will not
hesitate as to the vote I shall give •here. The
conduct of the Senator from, Indiana, judged
by the facts and circumstances surrounding
the case looks like treason ; still I might not
be prepared so to pronounce, sitting as a juror
on his trial. I know not under what circum
stances of haste, or thoughtlessness, the letter
wee written. These, if they existed, were for
the Senator from Indiana to show. There
may not have existed, at the time the letter
was written, that deliberate and wicked
purpose essential . to the technical crime of
treason. We know not. We have the letter
before us It was written to a traitor, and for a
traitor, and to further a treasonable end. What
more does my colleague want ? The Senator
on trial has given us no faits or mitigating
circumstances whatever. As a juror, I might
even refuse on the.case, as it stands, to pro
nounce the verdict of guilty •of high treason.
Bat when the case is presented to me as a
Senator---is the 'Senator from- Indiana a safe
man to sit here? Is his loyalty and fidelity
to the Government justly' obnoxious to strong
arid well:grounded iirpeachment f Can he be
trusted to advise the President, and •to share
in our deliberation 4, in this "midis of 'public
affairs? To these 'inquires I can have no
doubt whatever: I shall . vote to expel the
Senator front Indiana from his seat in • the
Senate. '
What is right to do in this cue, the Senate
should do pr c tnlifly and fearlessly. . A timidity,
bordering on cowardice, paralYzes the arm of
the government. . Treason etalks abroad . in
open day. We`ust vktidcate the character of
the Senate, and our own ealf-respect ; we most
giire to the peopie assurance that here at
least, infidelity and diiioyality meet With a
speedy and eon en punishment:
Now; sir, it sabring 'to me that I have stated
the whole case. 'I 'put - the' case upon the re
cord and upon nothing else: I place it upon the .
Senator's letter of the'first of March. I take
that letter - and the circumstances of the coun
try at the tines, the'positicin of the Senator, the
position'of the man to whom theletter was
written, the position of the man for whom it
was written, and the errand upon which he
went, and I my the facts are conclusive and
ovetwhelmidg against the Senator from In
diana There is no possible escape from the
conclusion. It is a legal mazim that a man is
responsible for the natural and necessary con
sequences of his act. What did the Senator
do ? He commended one traitor to another,
and the errand upon which he commende d
him was by the admission of all a treasonable
errand ; it was to give to him an improved fire
arm. Can it be possible, as - I asked before,
that a loyal Senator would do this? Sir, sup
pose your Commanding General had written
such a letter, would there have been any doubt
as to his complicity with the traitors? The
Senator from Indiana occupies a position in
this government as high and responsible in
many respects as the Commanding General of
your Army. Nay, sir, in dignity of character
he occupied a position second only to the
President of the nation. Suppose he had
written such a leiter, would you have had any
doubt as to his complicity with' the traitors?
Would you have had any doubt that be had
at least forgotten his duty to this Govetrunent?
Sir, an impeachment could have rested on the
letter : and to-day I have serious doubts as "to
what would be the result of the trial of the
Senator from Indiana before an impartial jury.

the orders bad been 'changed since General
Lane left Washington, and whether the recent

orders of the Department here:
Mr. attune (Va.) hoped the resolution would

should Enos.
Mr. Potreaov said the resolution' was offered
according to a suggestion of the Secretary of
War.
Mr. Ceuta' wanted to know, what action
Congress propcsed to take. Did, not Congress
propose to take the direction. of the war ? If
this resolution was in acCordance with a sug
gestion of the Secretary of War, he should op
pose it. However the resolution was then
passed.
Mr Hera (N. IL) moved. to take up the , bill
providing for the construction of iron-clad
steamers Agreed to.
Mr. Rua proposed to withdraw both the
amendments ot , the committee, and asked the
Senate to, make , the bill the special order of
Friday, when he intended to address the Sen
ate on the report of the Naval Committee on
the Secretary of the Navy. The bill could
then be passed as it came from the House.
Mr. Mourn', (hie. ; said the bill proposed to
build twenty iron clad steamers. This style of
naval architecture was yet entirely an experi
meet France and England are trying the
experiment, and the board of Admirality has
reported its success as doubtful. There were
no rolling mills in the country that could do
the work, and probably the work could not be
done in twelve months. He opposed the whole
thing as impracticable.
Mr. lima, (N. IL,) said that he was informed
that the boats could be built in five months
and were strongly recommended by the Ex
ecutive department and the Secretary of
War.
Mr. Hamm, (lowa,) was surprised at the in
formation given by the. Senator from. Maine.
fbe only instance where iron-clad boats had
been under fire was in the Crimea, where the
French vessels went within eight hundred
yards of the fort, and being exposed to a
heavy fire , received but little damage while
they destroyed the fort. He believed that the
introduction of steam altered the witolesystem
of coast defence. Eight thousand shot had
been fired by the rebels at the vessels coming
up, the river here, and only, one vessel was ma
terially damaged.
Mr. Cowan, (Pa.,) had some doubts about
ordering steam iron clad ships, but he was wil
ling to vote the money, and let the President
take the responsibility.
HOUSE OF REPRPSENTATIVES.
The House went into committee of the whole

Mr. Mortara, (Vt.,) said this measure was
urged by Mr. firm:wpm rig a war measure of
necessity. He did not, think hostilities would
be of such long continuance, for with the melt
ing of snow and I& our armies would rush
toward the gulf to crush the rebels. The men
of the east. will, only ask fur an opportuni
ty to leave. off epithets.and try what virtue
there is in steel. He had no fear of the
result. We can close the war by the thir
tieth 'day of July next, as well as in thirty
years, thereby economizing blood as well, as
treasure. If this paper money is a war
measure it is not waged against the enemy
who may grim with delight.. He would as
soon provide. Chinese wooden guns for the
army as paper money. What we most need is
money. He objected to the bill because of its
utter impolicy. Contracts have been entered
into which are not yet paid, and from tlfe
heavy monthly disbursements to the army,
government can flood the country with the
hundred and fifty millions of dollars in notes
as legal tender proposed by the first section of
the bill. The consequence will be that the
cost of carrying on the war will increase
by the augmentation of the coat of supplies, and
the inflation of currency would be inevitable.

[From the Columbus (Ohio) City Fact, of January 1:'2.1
"THE GLORIOUS 18ra' ' —.MUM/leer/ON AT
CAMP Taomes —The dispatches speaking of the
heavy march of the 18th Regulars, of twenty
five miles, before going into the late battle, in
which the regiment, the first time under tir e
distinguished itself, have given a name to the
regiment which it wilt tong retain and well
deserves, the "glorious 18th."
It is the largest regiment ever in the army
and of some of the choicest of Ohio's sons. The
Legislature have done well-to include them in
the range of the laws passed for the benefit of
soldiers' families.
Col. Caratmaros, having received dispatches
of the admirable behavior of the companies in
the field, announced the fact at dress pars. ie
last evening, at Camp Thomas, and set apart
from seven until eight in the evening for such
recreation as the occasion would suggest.
Accordingly the fine band of 26 instruments,
with the five companies now under di ill in
camp, waited ...upon him at his Head-Quarters,
fully equipped. Thirty-four magnificent rockets,
one for each State, with other fire-works were
exhibited, closing with three cheers tor the
Union—three cheers for the Colonel and three
cheers for the "glorious 18th."
The bank struck up "Dixie" and the com
panies marched to their quarters, with new
determination speedily to fill up the remaining
companies and join their brethren in the field.
We have had frequent occasion to mark the
wonderful progress made by this regiment in
discipline and drill, and their first battle proves
that the labor so industriously bestowed upon
them has been well and judiciously applied.
We cannot but think that the Legislature,
or our citizens, could not do better than to pre
sent this fine force with as fine a set of colors as
can be made. Five hundred dollars will do it.
Who will start the ball ?
ENLIST IN THE "GLORIOUS 18TH," COL
HENRY B. CARRINGTON
Such is the name which the press gave to the
Eighteenth Regulars, when after a forced march

Columbus, Ohio.
TEIREF. companies are filling up in Pennsyl
vania.
'the twenty-four companies will soon be full.
It is the first of the new regiments of the reg
ular army which has zhown in battle tue value
of its thorough discipline. It is already the
largest regiment ever in the American army,
and presents a field for promotion to the meri
torious, two-thirds of the officers to be promoted
from the ranks.
Let this community furnish a company forth
with to share the honor which the regiment
'must win. Let the first name acquired be per
petuated, and the " auntious 18th " he long
