WAsHINGToN. Dec.'5.

On motion concerning the reference of
the Presidents message, Lane, of Ore.
gon, made an apology for the dissolution
OF the Union, saying it must dissolve unless
the rights OF the South are further guar
anteed. -E
Hale, of New Hampshire, said the
logic of this controversy was war or sub
mission. The minority must submit to
the majority. He made no threats, and
spoke without having consulted any body;
he spoke for himself only, and one little
Stale. I'VE must look this matter STRAIGHT
in the face"
Brown, OF Miss, desired to know if
Hale presented the issue of war or sub
mission.
Hale said it must lead to that. He made
no threat.
Brown replied sternly: owe will not
submit. and if it is war let it come aud Gcd
show the right"
Iverson of Ga, was qniet at first, but
naughty in the end. He accepted the
Presidents declaration that secession is
revolution. 'The States understand
they do it at the peril of consequences

but if it does the Soath is preparing to
receive Its enemies with bloody hands
and hospitable graves. He hoped there
would be no war; that we would live In
peace.
The South would regard the North a.
mong the most favored of nations, and
so treat with her, but to remain in the
Union she would not. No power on
earth could prevent her wilhdrawal,-
The repeal of all the personal liberty bills
Of the North would be vain. True
they are obnoxious. but we care nothing
for their practical operation. But we
know their existence shows the feeling
of the people. They indicate two DIS
tinct civilizations. The hatred Of the
North for the South is deep as hell, and
l tell my brethren on the other side of
the floor no love is lost between u.s.
Two hostile nations occupy this floor
We are enemies. They did not come "a
cross this floor to extend US ordinary
them.
We are hostile. The State I repre-
sent accepts the issue of war or submis-
sion.
We will not submit. I tell the gen.
tleman South Carolina will not 90 alone.
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Geor>
gia, will all be out by January 18th, new
er to return; and in less than twelve
months after our Government will be in
f operation, Arkansas and Louisiana will
, follow. One thing only prevents Texas
that is her Governor, and if he does
not yield to overwhelming public senti
ment some Texan Brutus will reach his
, heart, and rid the world of vile and
| hoary- headed traitor"
Mr.. Iverson discarded all shams, say
ing that the election of Lincoln was ne
cause for secession, but the South woulo
not be governed by the North. ane
intended to 60 out while she had the
) strength, not TO wait until she was toe
. weak.
, Douglas sat scowling in his seat
, Southern men looked cool. The North
5 ern men were calm and collected. Crit
: tenden was profoundly moved, and th'
galleries were astounded. JEFF. Davis, il
a a quick decisive way. said he came al
: Senator of the United States. Will,
there is yet no declaration of war agains
} the States of which we are the mere
ambassadors, he wo'd discharge his duty
r as Senator, and wo'd say nothing on th
D subject.
: Wigfall talked Senators out OF thei
t seats. but he said one thing. He sal,
r that he disagreed with Hale. That S-n
: ator said the Presidents message wa
} neither one thing nor the other. Wig
/ fall thought it both one thing and lh
other.
+. Saulbury, of Delaware, made an ear
: nest and eloquent plea for the Union
: which was received with thunders G
n applause from the galleries. He sal
Delaware was the first to go into th,
) Union and would be the last to 90 out -
l. She would use all her power to preserv
:. the Union. The disunion speeches wer
e received in profound silence.
