Death of the Black WarrtOr...N1ajor

This remarkable war horse died in this city
last week, at the advanced age of twenty eight
years. He was raised in Tennessee, and brand
g. S. D. Omitted States Dragoon,) on the open
ing of the war with Florida, where he served in
the swamps and everglades to the close of that
inglorous campaign, after which, for several
years, he was used in the chase of wild Indians,
horse thieves, border ruffians and at odd spells
of foxes. deer and buffalo, at the various militia
ry posts on the prairies west of Arkansas. Hav-
ing marched all over the country, and swan all
the principal rivers between st. Augustine, Fa.,
and Mexico, he was in the whole of the Mex
lean war, and took an active part in nine gene
raj battles, having been wounded by a musket
ball at Menos del Rey, and again by a piece of
shell at Chepultepec. Peace having been res
tored, Major Merrill was unwilling to part with
as faithful companion in arms, who had borne
him successfully through two wars, from the
grade of second Lieut.. to Brevet Major, or to
break him down with more service, and SO he
brought him north, and placed him On "retired
list for life, in this city, with full ratons, where
he has been cared for at the stables of Dris-
brow, the equestrian professor He was ridden
by Kossuth and also by President Pierce on the

OF his Seventh Regiment II IN. Y. Herald.

NJ Washburne, Of Maine, characterized the
message - containing calumnious misrepresen-
tations Of the Republican party, soon e Dc the
dominant party Of this Republic. So far from
the Republicans contemplating revolution, they
hare in their platform distinctly declared that
the CONSTITUTIONS and the Union Of the States
shall be preserved. They advocated nothing
that had not been contened for by jefferson and
Others Of equal authority, and were determined
to prereat the extension Of slavery into Tree
territory. In the eyes Of the President, the love
Of liberty, and the hatred OF slavery was an un-
pardonable sin.
Mr.. Keitt charged the Republicans with open
ing this session with slavery agitation by object
ing to allow Mr.. Whitfield TO be sworn. The
President properly arraigned the Republicans
with seeking TO interfere with the domestic in.
situations of the Southern States He asked Mr.
Washburne If he and the Republicans had the
power, whether he would not so change the con-
stitution as to emancipate the slaves.
Mr.. Washburne replied that he would notcer-
tainly object to change to give the power to
| the federal government to dc what Jefferson,
Madison, and Scott desired-viz., to ameiorate
| slavery even to emancipation.
Mr.. Keitt further inquired whether he would
| not do that by progressive graduation.
Mr.. Washburne was willing that the princi-
pies of the Declaration ofIndependence, the con-
stitution and the Christian religion should have
! free course aud be glori6ed.
Mr. Stanton said he and his constituents will
abide by the Constitution as it is. #a
! Mr.. Keitt said that the President was correct
in charging on the Republicans revolutionary
| designs.
| Mr.. Giddings advocated the doctrine laid down
| in the Declaration of Independence, that every
man had right to life, liberty and the pursui,
of happiness. The men Of the South deny this
doctrine men from the North dare not say
yes or no-they are between heaven and hell
He hated oppression in all its forms. God and
all good men and the Republican party hate
slavery. 8i a al
In replying to Bennett, of Miss, he denied ey.
er making speech touching emancipation at the
South.
Mr.. Morrison said he was once an Anti-Ne
braska man but had left that party when he saw
it was leading him INTO abolitionism. He essay
ed to prove:the Republican party sectional in its
organization and principles He thanked the
President for his condemnation of that sectional
organization. a5& @ s3ta
