( In the House of Representatives. last
Friday, bill came up. for the relief OF re
legal representatives of Col. Charles Por-
terield Of lhe Revolutionary army. To
this bill mr. Stanton stated briefly his
objections. Mr.. Harris, Of Virginia,
who is a representative from the district
of The claimants, asked 10 be heard in
their behalf. lie was reared and lived
in The midst Of The heirs and descendants
of that gallant officer, Charles Porterfeld.
He knew them TO be honest and just men,
of The highest sense of honor, and The
slrictest integrity men whose bare asser-
ton OF right is, among those who Know
them, conclusive evidence ot the justice
of their demands. lie would not 90 INTO
the dry details of the bill, for II is one that
should commend itself 10 all sections and
all parties. The hero whose heirs now
claim. was The same young officer who,
in ITS, left his naive county OF Jefferson
in Virginia, and passed over that memo
rable rock al lIarper's Ferry so eloquent
IL described by Mr.. BoIeleI. To him
(Mr. b. the speaker need not appeal fo'
support. for that bood-stained rock spoke
in terms more eloquent and effective than
any thing which he Mr. Harris) could
say. To the members from Massachn.
sets, and New England generally, to-
whose relief Col. Por,eftiel1 had FASTENED
in the day of peril, he appealed with ev'
ery confidence that he should receive ,heli
united support. and TO the gentlemen OF
the sunny South, to the sons of the old
Palmetto, on whose soil the gallant young
officer fell. Mr.. ii. appealed. He appeal
ed also TO that chivalty which had ever
distinguished her sons, and he Eel! conf
den, tina. il would not be wanting now nj
doing honor to the memory OF brave
young officer, who fell in defence Of her
rights and liberties, and in doing an ACT
Of simple justice to his heiis and repre-
sen,auves. There being unmslakeable
indications of an approva! OF The measure.
Mr. Harris RETAINED from further remarks
AMI on The passage Of the bill. there sp
peared to be 81 10 A, but, this being less
