"INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS-NEUTRAL IN NONE."
HARRISBURG, PA.. FRIDAY AFTERNOON FEBRUARY 7, 1862
Celtgrapt,
Hon. S. B. ELLIOTT,
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
On the Senate Resolution instructing our Senators in
Congress to vote for the expulsion of the Z•aitor,
Jesse D. Bright.
"Mr. ELLIOTT. I did not intend' to' Itclipy
any portion of the time of the. lEibusiii Until I
heard this energetic, earnest, vigorous defence
in these Halls, of •an arch traitor. , ,-,I had made
up my mind, to sit quietly during this debate',
as I have heretofore, during the session of thiti
winter. But, sir, I can do it no longer, when
such doctrines are proclaimed as .we have just
listened to. What aspectacle have we presented
here ! A member rises 1k his place, and in hilt
place upon this floor, defends a man who has
recommended a "reliable friend" to "His Ex-
cellency,= the Prissident of the Confederate
States' —a man, Air, who has treason in his
heart. For if ever a man had treason in his
heart, I believe that man is Jesse D. Bright.
Aye, here, upon the floor of the House of Repret
sentatives of the great CummonWeidth of Penn
sylvauia, loyal as she is to -the - Union, we 'find
such a man defended and extolled beyond all
moderation of praise! Who is it that thus ex. !
tols Jesse D. Bright? A gentleman 'whci comes
in here and boasts of a thing, of which as
member of • this House of Representatives, he
should be'tisharnediat a healer was hung at hii
door, by his - people; because of his political
opinions. Sir, Ido not wonder at it. It was a
fit condemnation. I have,-lying•upon my table;
the Very resobitions passed by the convention
that nominated that gentleman and his col 4,
league. I will read theseresoltitioria, for they
are very brief. I take them from the .Elk Ad
vocate.
Tan foll Owing are the resolutions refdrred to;
and which, on the objection of Mr. Duffield,
were not read to the House
In pursuance of a•resolirtion passed at the
Democratic convention held at Ridgway, Aug
gust 1860, the Representative Conferees of the
counties of Clearfield,Jefferson,Elk
met at St. Mary's, on Thursday August 15, for
the purpose of nominating suitable persons to
represent this district in the Legislature.
The convention. was organlied•by Selecting
Geo. Weis, Easq:, President, and J. B. Oviatt,.
and Lever Flega.l, Secretaries.
The oommittee on resolutions, through their
chairman, Dr. J.T. Boyer , reported the follow.
ing which were unanimously adopted by the'
convention
'eaved, That we are in favor of a speedy
settlement of the present difficulties by com
promise. ;
Resolved, That when ones ol,eur
,enun-i
try shall have . been
.134bjugateci by the other,l
we have already become the Slaves of a militaryl
despotism.
Resolved, That the small patriot band of Sen-1
atom and Representatives, in the last extra pes-'
'don of Congress, who dared to maintain the
integrity of the constitution under the menaces
of expulsion and imprisonment, are entitled to
the gratitude of every American citizen ; andi
impartial history will award them an enviable'
distinction.
•
•
0
Resolved, That the persistent determination oft
the majority of the members of the , late,extre‘
session of Congress to frown down every mea
sure that had for its object the peaceful adjust
ment of our national difficulties, indicates a fa
natical mania that would have muck better
become the crUsaders of centuries gone by,
than the representatives of a free, intelligent,
and christian people of the nineteenth cen
tury. ,
Mr.:DUFFI_ELD, .T.rise to &question of or
der. Have these resolutions anything to do
with the question before this House f n•
Mr. SPEAKER. They 'are not properly in
order.'•
Mr. l ELLIOTT; .1 Withdraw;then' ' : iny 'prop
ceition toread them and will simply , state ' that:
the resolutions • are almost as till of treason as;
the letter of Jesse D. Bright. j
Mr. Speaker, I deprecate as much as any gen..;
tleman upon this floor; the Digging in of apolit
ical'question here at this jancture ' It had not'
been'done by those' who'act with'me litica
I am a party man, it is true, fh ordinary Unit*,
butin this . question ' I amdaterbibied to lay aside
all party. I n
havebt thought'of :party. Haa
Mr. Bright been a inirriber *of the Republican
party, .1. - shotild'li'aTie''yeted just as readily
hirTeXpulsion as 'I do now.. 'I deisnot take) in
consideration that he is a Member of die Duni
oduitic party. I have discarded all politics in
thliquestion ; and I hope to God 'hay ever
discard them when questions like' this 'are at
issue. ' say I deprecate any such political. is-
sues ; and I was glad to hear the •' 'Conatitu
tional" gentlerruth from (illi:Diastfii,)
'.
say that he deprecated such question as I was
also glad to hear the gentleman from Cambria,
(Mr. Pansirrsa,) make a 'similar declaratiOn.
Though am:ember' of a political' party, .1 WWI
it tuiderstoOd that - in this matter - I - discard all
partim, and all political preferenees: It is a
qttestiOn of treason or loyalty to this govern
..
ment.
WO have before us here two, propmitions
One of theni is a plain, 'concise resolution. I
will read it
" 'Resoived, That our Senators from this'State'
be, and they are hereby instructed to vote for
;the - immediate expulsion of the said Jease D.
Bright from his seat in the United States Sen
ate."
That is a very plain and cornase proposition.
The other, which it is Proposed' to substitute
for it, is ambiguous and uncertain in its terms.
'How, I hold the case to stand
,thus : if the
treason of 'Rote D. Bright is open to question,
is not plain and apparent, then this amend
ment ought to pass ; if it is not vesitionable- 7 .
'if it is plain, open , and apparent to,all t then the
More pointedthe terms that we use in denun
ation of his 'treason 'd treason the better.
Let us examine, for a single moment the evi
dence of his treason that we have , before us:
Allow me again to refer to the letter which has
been already several times read. It begins
"Hy, Dear Sir." Had it been a formal letter
between Jesse D. Bright and Jefferson Davis, it
would have beery" Sir." Had it been a tolera
bly familiar letter, it would have been "Dear
Sir." But it is almost an affectionate letter,
expressing on its very, face deep and- tender• re
gard for Jeff. Davis —" Hy Dear Sir-!" But
what-else do we find?
'" Allow-me to introduce
ti:? Your acquaintance my friend 'Thomas.B. Lin-
I Ophi, of Texas." ,Jefferson.Davia end:Jesse
'l4l l o.N.ore frien,dB,; so were Jesse. D. Bright

SPEECH OF
. .
you suppose that Jesse D. Bright, being a friend
of Jefferson Davis would have introduced to
him any other than a man who believed as
Jefferson Davis believed ? Of course not. But
let us read the letter further : " He visits your
capital mainly to dispose of," &c. He certainly,
according to Jesse D. Bright's idea of the mat
ter, had more than one object in view. The
great objf.ct, perhaps, is disclosed further on in
#le'let44ll-1 I' I
'Hew visas your capital mainly to dieicoose of
-what he regards as a great improvement in
.Fire 7 arms .The very thing 'of all
on tile 'earth' Which ' loyal people-of this
Union wished to-prevent falling into the hands
of Jefferson Davis." 'The tiTotters of the rebel-
lion had stolen our' arms and ammunition
- through the instrumentality of :the traitor,
Floyd. Through his treachery valuable arms
had been removed front the arsenals where they
cotild be ; oPservice to the- gevernment in an
emergency, and hid been faked down south to '
be used. byfrebels and: traitors' in battleing
against the sacred coristitution of our country,
and yet, notwithstanding all this, Jesse D.
Bright, With the facts before him, recoutiminds
this man to Jefferson Davis as having "a great
improventent in fire-arms," which of course
Davis would stand in need of, as Bright well
knew. But, as I'have said, there was more
than one object in view. One object was the
fire-arms ; but there was something else which
he had fa iled to disclose to us.
But what does Jesse D. Bright acknowledge
in that lett4Sr? He tiays="Heviiiiiiioeicapital"
—thus acknowledging that Jefferson Davis was
the head of an existing government=admitting,
in fact, the independence of ade fade govern
ment of the confederate states. • - .
.
'Now mark the time at which this letter was
written: It was written on the first of March.
Long before that the Star of the West had been
fired into when it attempted to prevision a be
leagnertid fortress belong,ing to this gOverhhitin t--
when Major Anderson with less than a hundred
men, had been housed up there in Sumter, and
the.ndtors had forbidden him coinuttinication
with his own government and his own people.
i say that whenwitarMed vessel: harmless
in the face of the 4iOrld,'had attempted 'then
and there to, prOviSion thart.beleagured fort, the
rebels had opened fire 'upon her. Further- .
more, Jesse D. Bright knew at that time that
there were seven States that declared them
selves out of the Union—that had announced
their determination to make war upon this gov
ernment. Aye, notwithstanding all this. Jesse
D. Bright writes a 'letter and recommends to
Jefferson Davis a Mall ready to furnish him with,
those very things, as .I remarked before, which:
we did not want him to have—a man who
would assist in givinglo that • arch-trailer and:
his minions, the means of murdering our loyal
citizens.
Mr. Bright says : "I recommend him to
your fatiorabie 'conaideratkin:" Well, lie doubt
if Mr. Lincoln had succeeded in reaching, the
capital of the " confederate states," he Nibnld
have been a very acceptable visitor. • He re
commends him as "a gentleman of the first re-,
spectabitity." No doubt he was One of the;
Y. F. V's—one of the fret families! wag
a great consideration, for that aristocracy that',
has taken so large, a iXart in. this rebellion—an,
aristocracy, berne up as it is, upon false eye-;
tems of government. It was important tha.t4
he should be a gentleman of , the "first respect-!
ability ;" that he should be no "mud-sill,"!
uo " greasy mechanic," but a very respectable;
gentleman, besides being "reliable, in every re
spict." He says, in effeet" Minton Davis,',
you can confide to him anything of your tree
son, just as yen have confided it to me. lie Is,
your and my mutual friend; understand hirri
to be such. He is a very respectable gentle.:
man, and withal, is reliable in every respect.;
You may disclose to him all your ideas'of area
son-all your, plans,all your plots. He is rell-,
able, and you can trust, him."
Then, to, conclude. the matter—to cap the
climat—to 'make it donbly sure he addresses:
.this letter to "His Excellency, Jefferson Davis,:
President." President of what ?, Of 'rebels, of.
traitors, of men who had taken up arms againsti

" Incoliclusion; allow , me to say one word in
regardlo the question, of perjury and trial by
jury; which has been so often referred to here in
this'debete. I do net 'understand; Mr. Speaker, ,
that the'llnited' Statee &bate 'in acting upon
this question, is in the Position of a court de
termining a judicial question. It is not,: eel
undmitinid, provided in ' the constitution that
they shall sit as a judicialbody in the, expulsion
of a'reeinber. An act might subject a member
to expulidon which would not subject him to a
judicial trial. Then why talk of this as a ju
dicial question only: ' i
Now,lt has been urged that a Senator would I

:not understand it , so. There have been
some minor questions, since I have - been a
member of this body,,, on which I have
:believed differently from the mass of my con
stituents; `yet I never bellev'edithht their wish
t;ts, when: clearly ;expressed, would be disre

'have nor never will disregard them.. <My con'

that for which I was sent here. This obediende
of the representative to the will of his constitu
ents is the very principle of our republiain
government—the will of the majority expressed
through their repreientatives. So it is with
bur Senators in' Congress: It is not their per
sonal wish or will thatiis ,to prevail, but the
will of their constituents. Though Mr. Cowan
may have expressed an opinion as to the inno
cence of l Jesse D. Bright, yet he is not the gen
tleman to make light of the wishes of this
body.
In concluding I will merely say again, that
above all things to be deplored in this discus
sion, is to Treat it 'as -a question of politics, a
question of party. I Suppose the gentleman,
(Mr. Zenitsa,) meant to affirm that because the
party to 'which he belongs , had been able to de
stiny this goiernment, they would• be able to
build another; yet I think hiM greatly mistaken.
I Bay I deplore such , party' quettions and I hope
they may never be brought up again-at a crisis
like this, and I also hope that Jesse D. Bright;
a co-conspirator of Jefferson Davis, shall not a
gain be spoken of in praise and eomniendatiort
in these halls ; nor that a' gentleman shall
ever again be found - standing upon this floor,
speaking words of comfort or consolation'to trai
tors, whether in the United States Senate orelse
where. I believe from the evidence that Jesse
D. Bright is a traitor at heart, and I trust in
God that we here shall express our emphatic
condemnation of him and his kind, and that he
will be expelled from the Senate of the United
States.

TO MY MOTHER.
BY OtoRG L. HALL -4X Sanford's Opera Troupe
Mother, dear mother, I'm thinking of thee,
I am thinking °Nays that are gone ;
When clasped to your heart, as I sat on your
knee,
You would sing that sweet 1 illyby song.
That voice with its mud° still rings in mine
ears, •
Though long since I've heard its sweet tone,
And memory flies back, o'er the lapse of long
years,
Oft, while I sit thinking alone.
I am thinking, dear mother, as from thee I
roam,
Of days when in innocent mirth,
When all seemed a heaven in my childhood's
sweet home,
As we'd sit round the old family hearth.
But changes, sad changes, has over us swept,
And gone are some dear ones we loved ;
Oft, us I've sat thinking, I've bitterly wept,
To,see how fate dooms me to, rove.
Yet one thought, dear mother, gives ease to
my pain,
Such joy as few others can know,
To think there's a Heaven,where we'll all meet
again, '
- If ne'er we shall meet berg' below. t
Then mother, dear mothei, as: oft as you Pray,;
To that giver of all earthly Joy,
Remember there's one that is far, far away,
And that one is the Wandering boy.

Mr. EDITOR :-Why is it the promises which
were made to the volunteers of Dauphin Co.,
before their enlistment, in regard to the sup
port of their families are not carried out in
good faith,? Is not the cause as holy and just,
as then ? Do our families, need less for their
comfort and sustenance now, when the riguis
of a hard winter are upon them, than they
did when those promises were made ? Or do
the commissioners and tax-payers of Dauphin
think 513,09, per month enough to , buy (at
•
two,prices,) what necessaries the soldiers need
here, and rent, provisions, clothes, light and
fuel for their families at home? If they do
they are sadly mistaken.
The families of the soldiers from the COllll
- in the Old Keystone are all provided for,
and have their weekly Yemittan'oas handed over
to them; then why is it stopped, and refused
to our faqiliels,, who, need it as much, if not
more, than those , who. live in ,the country,
where necessaries can be' had at a less cost? ,
We, aoldiers here, Mr. Editor, hope that you,

XTKI7IIth Congress—First Session
CoNcLusioN OF YESTRODAY'S PHOOSEDFNOB.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6
IN SENATE.
Mr. Snonitem then moved to amend the ninth
section, which reduces salaries ten per cent.,
so as to apply it to all mileage fees and contin
gent expenses.
Mr. DoOLITTLIS (Wis.) suggested to add that
the mileage be computed by the moat direct
mail route, and the mileage of members of
Congress be reduced fifty per cent.
Mr. &Matra accepted Mr. Doolittle's slag
geation as a part of his amendment. Afton
much debate this amendment was adopted.
Mr Davis, .'puke at some length,
contending that we could not raise sufficient by
taxation and that the government must belle
interest bearing paper.
Mr. Doourne, (Wis.) offered an amendment
reducing the mileage of members of Oongiess
fif iy per cent. to be computed by the a „,Enost
direct traveled route, provided with rail - road;
the mileage of members beyond the Rocky
mountains to be computed by the usual trav
eled route. Agreed to. Yeas 29 ;
nays—
Messrs. Clark, Collamer, Henderson, Latham,
McDougall, Morrill, Nesmith, Trumbull, Wil
kinson and Wilson, (M0.,)-10
Mr. Hows (Wis.) moved to strike out the 9th
section. Disagreed to. Yeas 2—Messrs. Howe
and McDougall. Nays, 36.
Mr. How]; moved to re-commit the bill to the
Military Committee.
The Senate then went into executive session.,
and subsequently adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Howe then proceeded to consider Mr.
Canomais (Rd.) amendment to strike from
the bill that which proposes to make the notes
lawful Worley and a legal tender in payment of
all public and private debts.
,An incidental debate ensued, dining which
M.l. Houma. (Vt.) mentioned the fact that the
pending bill was reported by only one-half of
the Committee of Ways and Means. The other
four members wish to have irunderstood that
they are as cordially united on their own pro
jects as the others are on their's, The imbed-
Cute proposed by him was not his particularly,
but' had been modified in order to meet the
views of those who bad submitted amendments.
Mr. lliar9us (E'a.) thought that the tax bill
should have been, first reported and the basis
of credit gins exhibited, bat having been in
formed that the treasury and administration
regard, this as a governmental necessity, be
was disposed to, waive the q.l esti= of propriety.
to briefly argued that the impress of sovereign
ty could as well be made on paper as on gold
or silver.
Mr. Lovz.rov, (Ill.) said that if they nom.
mence, the issue of such paper would not stop
short of paying all the expenses of the war in
depreciated paper amounting perhaps to 1,500-
000;600 dollars. He desired to have the bill
recommitted with instructions to frame one
with a clause driving back to their homes all
depreciated hank notes. There 6W:slid be no
paper cdriency not easily and readily converti
ble into geld and silver.
Mr. ktoscou CONKLINQ, (N. Y.,) viewed the
bill as the commencement of a paper system
which would plunge the country into an abyss,
from which there would be no resuscitation and
resurrection.
Mr. HOOPER, (Mass..) briefly argued that to
strike out the legal tender clause would render
the bill useless to the treasury Department.
Mr. CRISFIELD'S amendment striking out the
legal tender was rejected—yeas 53, n a y s 'im .
Various amendments were offered and re
jected, when Mr. HORTON offered Mr Idorrill'a
substitute, with amendment, for the bill.
Mr. STEVENS, (Pa.,) presented a modification
of the original bill.
It was then agreed that the committee should
rise and report these measures to the House.
The House then rejected the amendments of
Mr. Horton to Mr. Morrill's substitute for tb•
bill—yeas 54, nays 93.
Mr. Stevens' substitute was then passed—
yeas 93, nays 59. It limits the amount of the
two kinds of notes, provtding that they shelled
no time exceed $150,000 000, and retains the
legal tender blame. Adjourned.
