Its Gurus towards the South, and moderalDg Its aims
They are mistaken. We hope indeed, to put che he
pubcans down. beat them the approaching contest
But if done at all, it must be done by main streDgtn:
We must crush them with the strong arm, with all
their sins upon their heads and with their hearts full OF
all malice and all bitterness.
The proceedings in the House of Representatives on
Monday last illustrate this. Who would have beleleVd
that such resolution Blake offered could
such vote as was given in its support? We append
further report of the proceedings, and the cas- and
Nays on the resolution that readers may where
men stand and that he who cries peace does so in the
presence OF the spirit and the manifestation OF bitter war
Southern men and Constitutional Union men, stand
! then to your arms
The resolution of this member from Ohio, whose
Governor has just extended protection to Harpers Fer
ry murderers move in the same direction, only more
candid 1t deals in pretence 1t openly sets at naugh
all idea of the Constitution seeming as obvous, IN
its proposed legislation of that instrument as some
moralists are of the Bible The vote in its support
leaves any pretence OF doubt as TO the aims OF
the Black Republicans that tie execution OF their
designs only awaits the possession OF the numerical pow
er to accomplish them. Put them in the high places OF
government, and what would they for such COB
web the Constitution?
Let the sixty who had the courage to vote on Mon
day laSt-together with the gentemany MIR. Kilgore,

The Speaker Said the resolution having been rejected
the preamble fell as matter of course.
Mr.. BOcock to question of privilege and offered
resOlution-that Mr. kigore, OF Indiana, and Mr..
" ashburn of Maine being in the House when the vote
taken on the resolution but voting as is re-
quired by the rules have entitled themselves receive
and do hereby receive, the censure of this House
MIR. CoaX said the gentlemen ought TO have exhibit
ted equal vigilance heretofore when gentlemen who
out OF order refused to take their seats that side of
the House.
Mr.. Kilgore arose to explain why he did not vote.
| Mr.. John Cochrane inquired whether the abstract
question OF slavery was now under discussion.
! The speaker replied in the negative
Mr. Hill wanted to know whether this resolution had
not some connection with the Presidential question. He
thought it might have.
Mr.. Kigore said while he in favor of part of
the resolution, he not inclined to institute inqui-
ry to freeing erybody for that would reach the
vlcts and he was the last who would add to the
democratic strength by letting them out of the penitel
liarleS especially at this time when their votes would
be OF so much service in the campaign. In reply to
question by Mr. Barksdae, to whether he in ia
vor of interdicting the nter-save trade and abolish
slavery in the arsenals and dockyards OF the United
States he said that the question was not before the
House. Sufficient unto the day the evil thereof"
Mr. Bocock withdrew his resolution alexandria

Two men lately made balloon ascension from Savan-
nah, Ga, and after reaching altitude of pa miles at
tempted to descend. They down on Calaboga
Sound, and the balloon struck with such violence that
their ballast and provisions lost and they themselves
in the water Upon rising the surface they
found themselves five or six miles from the shore, while
heavy gale was prevailing in the Sound. The great point
now topreven the balloon from rising ofhe water
and this they accomplished by keeping edge of the
under water which they found afforded sufficient resistance
to answer the purpose OF ballast They drlted rapidly
wards the land and discovering persons the Shore
cried Tor help, when boat instantly manned by
some negroes and dispatched to their aid Before how
ever, the boat reached them of the baooniss try
Ing to discharge the gas and the balloon took hold
OF the cord and in the confusion, pulled hard
bread short of below the valve whereupon the latter
closed, and the balloon became wholly unmanage-
able His companion becoming entangled in the cords
was compelled to cut his way ont with his pocketkne
and the balloon ascending rapidly the one in the car
could only save himself by eaping out when at dis
lance OF twenty-five or thirty feet from the ground He
fell into the water and mud, and was unnjured. The
speed with which this journey made is wonderful
The point where the balloon struck is forty miles from
Savannah, and they just thirteen minutes in ira
versng it.
