Press is quite indignant at the seizure of the
United States arsenal at Little Rock and
says: The act will meet, 81 it merits, the
unqualified condemnation of every decent
man in the State, whether Secessionst or Uni
onist. Contrasting strangely with the feel
ing or the conduct of that lawless band in the
lower part of this State, is the sentiment of
our people here in reference to the occu-
pants Of the garrison within FIVE miles of this
place. We look upon them as our defenders
and friends, and the people of Crawford and
Sebastian counties, will turn out en- mdSSe to
resist any attempt on the part of any peo-
pie to disodge them from their appropriate
quarters, 50 long as Arkansas remains in the

that loyalty and affection TO the Union are
the natural sentiments of the whole country.
Whatever dangers there shall be, there wall
be the determination to meet them; what
ever sacrifices, public or private, shall be
needlul for the Union. they will be made
feel sure that the hour has not come for
this great nation to fall
This people, which has been studying to
become wiser and better "a it has grown old

serve so dreadful and severe punishment as
dissolution. This Union has not yet accom-
pilshed what good for mankind was manifest
" designd by Him who appoints the seasons
and prescrbes the duties Of States and En-
pires. No, sir /; if it were cast down by fac
ton to-day, it would rise again and reappear
IN all its majestic proportions tomorrow.
1t is the only Government that can stand
here. Woe! Woe to the man that madly
lifts his hand against it, 1t shall continue
and endure and men, in after times, shall
declare that this generation, which saved the
Union from such sudden and unlookcd-tor
dangers, surpassed in magnapimity even that
enc which laid its foundations in the eternal
principles of liberty, justice and humanity.

Mr.. Stewards Speech.

Mr.. Seward never made a speech which
was not verify of careful perusal. and ear
nest attention. His efforts are not spasmod-
lie, the offspring Of great excitement and OF
"a heated imagination, but of careful study,
calm elaboration and a comprehensive
knowledge of the wants Of the nation, and
Of the true philosophy of our government.
This last effort OF his is destined to be as ex-
tensisely read, and as severely criticised as
that Of any revious one, and perhaps more
so. The whole tone of it, proves the author
anxious to preserve the Union intact to do
which, he viii do anything but abandon long
cherished principles, and surrender the fruits
OF the recent political victory to old enemies.
He, as well as every right thinking man, is
willing to throw plank to save Maryland
Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and North
/ Carolina. The truest men in the nation, and
the tre est Republicans in the party, are
among those in these border slave states. who
are beseechins the Republicans in Congress
and in the nation, to save them and their
states from being swallowed in the vortex Of
rebellion and disunion. Let something be
done to accomplish this great object, that
the treason and rebellion of the cotton states
may the sooner be put down. We would not
surrender the Chicago platform, nor plank
in it, but we would give up non-essentials,
when asked to do SO in a proper manner, and
from the proper quarter. To South Carroll
IA, with arms in her hands and treason IN
her heart, no concession whatever should BE-
made.
We print this week the concluding portion
of Mr. Stewards speech, telling what he il
wiling to do. In our next the speech entir,

What Mr. Seward is willing to do
b vond doubt, Union is vitality impor

Mr. Vance Of North Carolina presented
the proceedings of a meeting of the people
; In Buncombe county Referred to the
Committee of Thirty-three.
Mr.. Maynard of Tennessee offered re.
solve instructing the special committee on
the Presidents late message to consider
/ that portion of it which recommends a
vote of the people upon the question at
issue between the different sections of the
country, aud the committee to report a
bill or otherwise. Adopted.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana offerd resolu-
ton declaring that the right of State to
withdraw from the Union is not counte-
nanccd by the House or recognized by the
Constitution, but is wholly inconsistent
with that instrument and neither Congress
not the President is invested with author
/ ity to recognize any State once admitted
except as a State of the Union that the
power to protect the public property
should be exercised, and that the Judicial
ry Committee report whether the laws
now in existence are sufficient for that
purpose, and if not, that they report a bill
giving additional powers, by the employ
ment of the navy or otherwise.
Mr.. Gartre!l of Georgia wanted to offer
a substitute.
Mr.. Burnett of Kentucky desired to Of
fer Mr. Crittcnden's compromise.
After some debate, the resolution was
laid over.
Mr.. English of Indiana, again offered
his resolution, but the House refused a
demand for the previous question and a
vote thereon.
Mr.. Stanton of Ohio moved TO make the
bill organizing and diciplining the militia
of the District of Columbia the special
order tor tomorrow. The House refused
to suspend the rules, only one vote being
necessary for the requisite two-thrds.
The House then went into Committee
of the whole on the Army bill.
Mr. MeClerland of Illinois made a Tn
ion speech. The great Northwest would
not consent to share the Mississippi Val
ley with any foreign power. 1t was not
coercion to do what we are sworn to do,
to uphold the laws and the Constitution,
and stay the violent and lawless hands
that would tear down the government.
Mr.. Cox eff Ohio also spoke, and the
committee rose.
Mr.. Corwin Of Ohio, from the Commit
tee of Thirty-three, presented a report,
which was made the special order for Mon
day next.
Mr.. Taylor of Louisiana obtained per-
