ted over the country.
Mr. Lene, ofIndiana contended that the ar.
my needed to be increased, and believed coer-

rebellion, not simply by the steel OF soldiers

on. He saw no reason for the suspension OF

ed brave men going to serve the country was
sufficient justification for the present.

passage, and said: Il am, perhaps one of the
few members who think not only the COM
mencement, but the prosecution OF the present
!, war, might have been or may now be avoided,
y by proper efforts on the part OF the National
r Administration Entertaining this opinion, |
! am one OF those inaisposed to resort to force
u under any circumstances, believing, Under the
theory Of our Government, that the Union can
never be held together in that way. Hence it is
t my purpose, representing Congressional Dis
trict OF kentucky, too oppose, both by my voice
J and vote, every moveent that looks to the pros
, ecuton OF the war against the Seeded States.
! These being my views and sentiments cannot
t and will not, under any circumstance, give my
. vote for measures which look to the nsolvement
Of our common country in bloody struggle,
g the results ofwhich to both sections, will be the
destruction of their national and best interests,
and the prostration Of republican government
t on this continent,
Mr.. Mallory said; II have risen simply to
9 protest. in the name Of Kentucky ard her Union
representatives on this floor, against the re-
] marks made by colleague, Mr.. Burnett, and to
say that Kentucky, by a large and overwhel-
e ming majority, will support and maintain the
Government and Constitution OF the United
) States" Applause on the floor and in the gall
lerries, which the Speaker promptly rebuked. |
Mr., Mallory resumed, saying: "What I have
said is the feeling Of Kentucky in this unfortu-
pate state ofatfairs. We in Kentucky believe,
that the peril, the danger, the destruction OF
the union of so many material interests have
been brought about BY these very seeding
! States Of the South which seem to excite the
sympathy of my colleague.
This being my opinion, and that of Kentucky,
am authorized, | think, to say to this House
and the country, that the people Of Kentucky.
e through her Union Representatives on this floor,
stand ready to support the Government Of the
. United States by every constitutional means TO
Q wbicht may be thought proper to resort for
the maintenance Of the Government and the
Q Constitution. Applause

repeat the demonstrations of applause. aa
