Mr. BLAIR, of Missouri, rose to personal expa-
alton, in the course of which he read an extract
ON the Albany Euen,ng Journal, edited BY Mr..
hurlow Weed, rejecting upon himself and his
rother, the Postmaster General, and ascribing to
lem the design of precptating the action of Gen
colt, and involving him in battle without prudent
reparation. As for bis brother, Mr.. Blair said
. could take care of himself; but he Chr B. de-
'unced the charge brought BY Weed against him.
Chairman on Military affairs, that he had |
smascuated the bill, as utterly false, which the
cord would show.
The attempt to impute to him and others who |
Id urged vigorous prosecution of the war, re-
onsibiity for the disaster at Bull Run, came with |
bad grace from Tburlow Weed, who came to the
ltiona capital repre- sentng, as be declared fsthe
hole people of New York; to nfuse vigor into
e management of the army. If Weed, who had {
rmerly contended Tor compromise, could urge
gor, surely he Mr.. B y might do the same with
oprety. lie then alluded to the recent speech

loted in the newspapers) relative to a conversa- $
IN between the President and General Scott,
owing out of the late battle. He (Mr. Blair)

use they suppressed the fact that Gen. Scett had
that conversation positively exonerated the
esdent from the charge of forcing him into an
timely struggle.
Mr.. RICHARDSON, of Illinois, explained that he I
d endeavored to repeat that conversation hon [
thy and respectfully. If anything had escaped I
memory, the members of this House who were A
eseat on that occasion ought to have corrected {
Mr.. WAsHBUnNE, of Illinois, did not understand

fight the battle of Manassas t
MIR. RICHARDSON cid not think his language had r
en- fairly interpreted, if construed in such @
nse. r
Mr.. BLAIR, of Missouri, alluded to the matter
double purpose, to exonerate the President as i
I'll as Gen. Scott, and be wanted the truth now I
go on the record. The President needs the con-
ence of the people and must be sustained in it, {
d this be could not be if the impression prevailed
blicly that he had forced the Commander-in- f
lief into this battle
Mr.. OLIN, OF New York, said he did not believe Z
