MIR. COX Dem, OhO) supposed that there was
some reason for proposing larger number OF men anu
a greater amount of money than tho President recon-
mendsd, and he would like to know what 1t was.
NJ BLAIR responded that, in order 10 supprees re-
belhon. the Committee on Military Ahars were nov
for all emergencies during the Of Congress.
Mr. PENDLETON (Den., On o., was for support
ing the honor and dignity OF the country Wltun to
limit Of the Constitution, and which reasonhple ne
cessiry demands. But he utterly opposed 10 any
measure which forces the ADM istraion more Inen
and money than the exgencies OF the service require
He WIS op ID to the ,Dcrcaee oi the regular ary
when il WAS apparent that volunteers are the proper
force to suppress the rebellion. He was opposed 10

in our Coufederacy lie Tor one responded TO the sen
ments Of the gentleman from Pennsylvania tliickmaDl
expresses Yesterday. II half O million OF men we're
not sufficient he would vote for million. lie had
confidence in the President aud his advisers and would
give to him the broadcast discretion.
Mr.. McCLERNAND Dem, Ohio would give the
President all the men and all the money that he asked,
aud would do this on the ground that The Admnstra-
ton better acquainted than the House ae with what
il required. He (McClernand), however, would hold
the President responsible for the expenditure OF the

ton and the old chiesn who controls and directs the
war movement. They would not spend dollar or

Mr. HARDING was in favor Of giving anytlmount
of money and any number of men 10 support ma ntain
and defend this Government but be was against yot-
inc mora than was necessary. He was decidedly and
unsondii pally in favor Of defending and supporting
the Government the best Government the world ever
ssv and the Last hope OF free government on this con-
tinentbut at the time be was against the subJu-
ton of the Southern States He, however, did not
nodard this bill TO look TO such subugation but to
the support and maintenance OF the Government.

mise. -.
An amendment to the BILL namely: That before the

tive of the soced Confederate States or any one OF
them looking TO suspension OF hosltles and the re-
turn OF said States any OF them 10 the Federal Con-
s,itnton and authorities. Mr.. Vallandigham alluded
20 the f1ct that when Utah was in rebellion three
Commits oners were appointed TO accompany the army
which moved into tina. territory, and certainly the
case now presented OF far greater Importance
10 the wbos country. The army now should 60 forth
with the sword in band, and the olive branch In
The other. lie offered the amendment in good faith,
and for the purpose OF ascertsnng whether there was
disposition here to listen TO terms OF accommodation

| Mr.. WRIGHT Dem, Ps.l said that he was opposed
| 10 the amendment.
Mr.. yALLANDI0HAM to Mr. Wnght-Ars you
Opposed TO the return of the Seeded Statesf
Mr. WRIGHT replied that be was not.
Mr. VALLANDlGBAM further asked: II the
Seeded States desire 10 return without fighting
striking another blow did the gentleman intend that
thew should stand up and he compelled to receive our
shot, the edge Of the sword, and the point Of tbs
bayonetf
Mr. WRIGHT replied, When those who are fight
ing under the standard Of Rebellion lay down their
aid sue for peace and surrender their leaders, then he
was for peace applause] and not otherwise. 1t was
not his purpose 20 regard this of subugstion.
The march of the army of tie loyal States was de-
fend the integrity Of the Government Dot TO rob
Southern men OF their property or interfere with the
negro question: and long as the object and design
was 10 preserve the integrity Of the Union he OPP
posed 20 any proposition for peace while these men
beld arms ia their hands. Without saying anything
ABOUT the Commissioners who accompanied the Utah
Army be alluded to the fact that Commissioner went
With tie army into Mexico. Why did he Wright
iustfy that Because shat was conflict between two
dependent nations. Tho present war was raised by
members OF our own househOd-those who, by their
retelions acts had produced want and almost famine,
and paralyzed the pursuits Of industry. We wanted
subjugate traitors thai patriots may live and that
the laws may be supreme.
Mr. HUTCHINS rep. o. moved an amendment TO
