anchored upon the Peace Conference propo-
sitions, and IL we let them go, we would br
All At sea again. He believed that even iualiy
the people OF the seeded States won Id recon
struct the Union for themselves, and the men
In power knew 1t, for they had refused to let
them give an expression Of sentiment on the
subject. Another objection TO the majority
report was that Ii allowed TOO much time for
the proposed settlement Before responses

pretended, would lead to civil war OF which
Nirginia would become the first victim He
believed that the Peace Conference PROPOSE

" OF pronouneing upon them. After the close
of Mr.. Carlile's remarks,
Mr. NELaoS, of Clark, moved that the Com
mlttee rise, which was not agreed to.
Mr. BROWN ofPrestop, commenced a speech,
when Mr.. BRANCH, of Petersburg, renewed the

Mr: SPEED. OF Campbell. Negatived.
MIR. BRows then resumed his speech in fs-
fof OF the majority report, but without cor :
cinding, gave way for a motion that the Com

resnlt followed A good deal of confusi ioa
prevalied IN the hail. and order was with diff

DIR. BRo<eS at length resumed and explain
| ed the reasons which Influenced him TO sus-
tain the report of the majority in preference
| TO the Peace Conference propositions.
| Mr.. WIcKHAM said that as there were III /
| ninety seven members present he thought il
would scarcely be proper 10 take the vote this
| evening. lie therefore moved that the Com
| mittee rise. Negatived.
Mr.. STUART, of Doddridge, was in favor of
| the Pence Conference propositions, but would
| vote against them in Committee since they
made no protes against coercion, nortlid they
i1a for (snv To- Il
| however that tine majority report should be
| subjected to some amendment, before he
| could vote for its final adoption.
| Mr.. SUMMERS, OF kanawha. defined his po-
/ stion in regard to the Peace inference prop
| ositions. While he was satisfied that they
would receive a large majority of the popular
| vote, he believed that the report OF the com
mittee would receive a still larger majority
| since it removed ali the objections that had
| been urged against the former. He by no
| means repudiated the Peace Conference prop
| ositions, nor did he think less of them than
| heretofore.
| Mr. WISE replied, arguing that the two
| pTopositions--that of the Peace Conference
| and that OF the committee-were not the
same, but that the former had undergone eS-
| sential changes.
The questio was then put on the motion
