UNION OF SOUTHERN PARTIES.

The following just and s%ca,hing remarks ar
from the recent speech of the Hon. n. c. Ca,
bell, Wing Representative from Florida.
'Mr. Chairman, l have been surprised an,
mortified al the character Of the speeches o
many Of my southern democratic friends
They all profess and | doubt NOT, desire, d
union OF southern men. Yet they pursue a
course which mus: estrahge us from each 9th
er, and divide the South. Their speeches are
calculated to destroy the confidence of southe
ern constituency in Southern Wings. They
may thereby secure a party advantage. But
| must say to my friends, that We are not pre-
pared to go over to the democratic party.
When we tell them that we desire Union with
them on this vital question of slavery, we mean
a Union ofthe south for the sake of the Union.
not for the benefit Of the Democratic party.

rom Texas, who commenced with a vindica-
ton OF his own party at the North from the

there was a coalition of Wings and Free Sellers.
Then followed my friend from Virginia, Mr..
Seldom, in a speech highly offensive to the
friends Of the President, charging him wrh Of

would justify his impeachment. Most of the

On M'nday mornlng more than $4,000
more were subscribed and the per cent
paid. We are not advised how much
has since been taken, but have reason 10
believe thai the necessary amount will
be, during all This month.
Col. Fulton addressed the audience on

and repairs ofall kinds, could not be less,
than 10 per cent on that amount.
Col. Upper also addressed the au.
dience, and from an estimate Of profits on
ether roads, showed that a dividend Of
at least Is per cent ought to be realized.
Even at 10 per cent we know Of no other

which Mr.. Toombs obiecred.3
Mr., Stanley said, 'No, sir, it is not the same.'
Some confusion e%nsued, and the speaker
knocked loudly to stop it.
The House then look up the resolution de-
elaring that the term honorable discharge in
the acts giving extra pay and bounty lands to
those who served in the Mexican war shall
mean amy discharge except for delinquency of
duty
The resolution was referred 10 the commits
tee Of the whole on the state of the Union.
Mr.. Stanley, Of Tennessee, from the Naval
committee, said that three memorials on the
sub5ectO OF the expedition to search for Sir John
franklin, had been referred to them, and he
wished TO report a joint resolution authorizing
the President to accept and attach to the navy
two vessels built by Henry Grinnell, to pro-
coed TO the Arctic Ocean in search Of franklin
and his companions.
Mr.. Johnson Of Arkansas objected.
Mr.. Bailey moved to refer the resolution to
the committee Of ways and means.
The speaker said the resolution had not vet
read, and would now be. 1t authorizes
the President to receive the vessels and detail
from the navy such COMMISSIONED and warrant
Oficers and seamen as may be necessary and
to go on The expedition, and supply
with suitable rations for not exceeding three
