The INCREASE OF The ARNY-MR SEWARD
AND MR. HALE.-The following interesting
remarks wero made upon the army bill, in
the Senate
Mr. Seward would vote for an increased
force if he knew that the troops now in Kan
sas would be withdrawn, but he was unwil-
ling to do so without an announcement to
that effect He could not consent to have
the army employed to enforce n Constitution
which a large majority of tina people of
Kansas reject. Such crisis had now ar
rived-that he doubted whether the Pres-
dent would dare to use the army for that
purpose ; but he wished to be assured Of this
before voting for the proposed increase. Con-
gress must pass bills paying the army, and
he never would vote dollar for the army to
be used for that purpose in Kansas, no mat
ter if the wheels of government came to n
dead stand, as was the case two years ago
lie would favor the increase for the purpose
of putting down the rebellion in Utah, but
only to be employed so long as necessary for
the purpose and then disbandcd,
Mr.. Hale of y. Ii. had listened with cx-
tremc pain, disappointment and mortifca-
tion to the speech Of the Senator, equal to
that which ten years ago he had heard from
Daniel Webster, when he put himself at the
feet of the slave power, to be used and spurn-
ed by them. Unless the republican party
take n firm and decided stand against the in
crease of the military power of government,
they will go down and ought TO 60 down,
and he would be the first to rally the people
to rcpudiate party with great professions
and high principles, but wanting in carrying
out their measures. His plan was not IL
give IL man nor dollar to increase the army
After referring to the largo number ot
draught animals who died from cold and
starvation on the route to Utah, he said il
this was bill to furnish the President witt
prudence and discretion, he would vote lib.
orally for such appropriations Laughter.
Mr., Seward replied by stating that his cours,
was influenced by regard to the interests o
the whole country. He knew nothing, noi
cared nothing for party. He thought tn,
mistake of Mr., Hale and others was ii
thinking the battle was not yet over when il
was. 1t was struggle for numerical ascen
dency between the free and slave States -
There were now sixteen free, and iifteer
slaye-and whatever administrations or any
body else might do there would he before an
other year nineteen 10 fifteen.

ing majority - The reading of Harris res-
olutions was demanded by score of voices
1t was read, and the yeas and noes ordered,
amid such confusion that tho gavel was put
into repeated rcquisition to obtain sufficient
silence for the Clerk to call The roll noted
that the excitement was chiefly on the Pro-
Slavery side. The ptonites hav-
ing barely escaped defeat on the main ques-
ton, and yet, hacing escaped ii, sat calm and
stern awaiting the final issue The result
was ayes one hundred and fourteen, hoes
one hundred and eleven. SO, the proposition
OF Mr.. Harris rds adopted by a majority Of
three. The change from the previous vote
was caused by Horace F. Clark, New York
Democrat, refusing to vote at all, and by VIM.
f. Niblack Indiana Democrat, going over to
Anti-LccOmpton.
At the close Of this vitality important vote,
Harris Of Illinois, pale as ashes, but firm and
steady in the moment of victory, rose, and
in clear tones, said, "Mr. Speaker, move to
reconsider the vote Just taken, and TO tay
that motion on The t1bie." This is always the
clenching motion at lhc close Of hard fought
struggle-it requiring two-thirds to take
snch motion from the table. The yeas and
nays were again called, and Harris's motion
prevailed.
So. the hereditary Chivalry of the South

Roundheade of the North, on a field where

The OPENING BATTLE OF THE

Mr.. Harris resolution is as follows

"Resoref, Thatt1e message Of the President,
enclosing tho Constitution framed at Le,ompton, in
the Territory Of Kansas, by Convention Of dele
gates thereof and the papers accompanying tho
same, be referred toa select committee OF fifteen,
to he pointed by the Speaker, and that said COM
mittcc be instructed to inquire into all the facts
connected with the formation Of said Constitution
and tho laws under which the originated,
and into all such facts and proceedings as have
transprod since the formation of said Constitution
having relation to the question of the propriety
Of the admission of said Territory into the Union
under sad Constitution, and whether the Is
acceptable and satisfactory to majority of the le-
gal voters Of Kansas and that said committee have
power to send for persons and papers"
The passage Of this resolution is sub
stantia victory of the anti-Lecompton men.
1t does not indeed render absolutely certain
the final defeat Of the great fraud, but it en-
sures hight, which is what the Lecomptontc
conspirators most dread. 1t ensures an in
vcstigation and an official exposure Of the
facts in the case, which is going to make

Notoriety, or publicity, is an indispensable
element Of success to the merchant, mochau-
ic or manufacturer, who would give a speedy
and wide distribution to the commodities
and productions which he seeks to exchange
for money. He may have capital, skill, CON
vcnient position, punctuality, industry and
honesty-eycry possible fitness for his husi-
ncss-and all is nothing, if he have not suf-
licicnt notoricty. This notoriety let it cost
more or less, he must purchase or provide for
as carefully as he purchases or manufactures
his stock of goods And it must in extent
bear a certain relation to the business he
would do it must be both positive and COM
parative. People must not only know him
and his business. because otherwise they will
not find h,H, but they must know him, he-
cause otherwise they WW find and trade with
those who are better known. To do q sue
