Isaac n. MoRRrs-who performed the princi-
pal part of the labor of the committee Of in
vestigation into the great frauds of the War
Department, says in his report, which shows
that bis work was well done, that the COM
uittee 'sare constrained to express their con-
vic.ion that, behind the events which have
been made conspicuous, and beneath the ex-
terror of the transactions which have been

Gent, and has given unity and vitality to the
schemes now partially exposed" This means
that the Treasury was systematically robbed
in behalf Of the conspirators- The intention
was that the capital should be taken by a
mob before the 4th of March, and the evil
deDces of fraud destroyed. The crash of the
traitor Cabinet following and consequent
upon Major ANDERsoN's coup detqt, prevented
this catastrophe. The Philadelphia Ledger, a
journal unusually cautious in expressing its
opinions, says Of the proof of the enormous
rascality of FLOYD i Co.:
1t is certainly a handsome contribution to
the purpose of destroying the Government,
not less, perhaps, in all than twenty millions
and has thus goHe as sort of present to the
secessionists in the shape of money, forts.
vessels, arms, and accoutrements of war. We
confess We have had sort of suspicion that
willing as Floyd might be to transfer arms
10 the South and men to Utah, and the forts
TO whoever would take them, yet that the
money had gone, in some way or other, to
favor bis friends, so far as it has not been
grossly wasted, and that the treason was got
up to cover the fraud.

Convinced that any thing like a reconstruc-
ton of the Government, if the further pro
gress Of dissolution is not checked, is i'm
possible, my object has been to implore Rep
resentatives from all sections on this floor to
moderation and liberslity, forbearance aud
justice.
To my ardent and excited friends Of the
South, let me say1n conclusion. as the liber-
ties and free institutions which we have so
highly priced, were acquired by one Revoln-
tion, they may be lost by another.
To the men of the North let me say, if yoD
intend Cancellation and compromise with your
brethren of the South, leave no room to re-
proach yourselves for hesitation or reluc-
lance. If the Government is to be subvert-
ed, see to il that its destruction is not attri-
butable to your unreasonable and criminal
obstinacy-
To members of all parties, and from all
sections In this House, let me say shall we
not, in this hour of our eountry's peril, lift
ourselves high above that narrow view.

Mr.. Speaker, if on account of our wicked
perverseness and want of patriotism, our
country is not saved, and revolution and civil
war ensue; when the youth of the country
shall have been cut down like grass, our
cities and villages burned, and our fields laid

Discussion on the Formation of the
s'COnstftution of the Confederate
StateS.s


The Mont2 emery correspondent of the
Baltimore american, under date OF the 9th,
says:
The fight over the instrument In the Com
mite room and in the sessions OF the Con-
gress was determined and stubborn. A great
variety of rumors as to the details of indl-
vidual and State propositions has prevailed
among outsiders, but it is all speculation.
The sessions of the Committee and of the
Congress were thoroughly secret, and moth
ing has transpired, or will transpire, to graf
ify general curiosity upon this subject. From
all can gather, the debates would have
been exceedingly interesting if it had been
the pleasure of the Congress to have taken
measures for their preservation. l am re-
liably informed that the South Carolina dele
CATION were the most persistent in their de
mands-e exactly what the exactions were
frankly confess 1 do not know-but South
Carolina is not, by long shot, the ruling
power in the Assembly. Georgia holds the
sling. All her demands are conceded; and
in maintaining her position, l am given to
know that a nice little squall was anticipa-
ted at one time. You now see what weight
the Rhett doctrine has. Sturdy Georgia,
with her massive blows, knocks the enamelled
polish off diplomacy, and stands up tor the
tariff. She will have none to do with the
free trade humbug which the people will
never learn to regard as fallacy, as hobby
for hungry Office seekers TO ride into power

Mr.. Speaker. 1 do not think 1 have mis-

purpose has not been the redress of South

struction of the Union, and the establish

in the language of Mr.. Rhett, been "a matter

FatTIOL-
MEssRs. EDTroRs.-I have seen it often
stated in the Union and American, that the re-
suit of the election of Tennessee voting n,
Convention, is attributable to The conserva-
tive Union party. La this, 1 know the edit
ors are doing themselves and the public.
great injustice. There is no organ in the
State that did more to defeat Convention
than that very sheet If you will refer to its
issues while the election was pending, you
will see at the mast bead of that paper calls
on the people to vote for the Secession
Candidates and Convention. The people
knowing the result of the Secession Conyen-
lions In other States, were determined not to
be dictated to by secession organ.

Illustrative of scenes in the early history of

to weaken the sacred bonds which bind to-

upon this floor who think that the expression
of such feelings aud sentiments is evidence

pain, mark him well; ''he is fit for treason"
