50 Reso!vsd, By the House of Represents
tives Of the Congress Of the United States,
that the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the dis
unienists of the Southern States now in re-
volt against the Constitutional Government
and in arms around the capital; that in this
national emergency Congress, banishing all
feelings Of mere passion and resentment,
will only recollect its duty to the whole
country; that this war is not waged upon
our part in any spirit Of oppression, nor for
any purpose of conquest or subjugation,
nor for the purpose of overthrowing or in
terfering with the rights or established in
stitutions of the States, but 10 defend and
MAINTAIN the supremacy Of the Constitution
and preserve the Union with its dignities,
equslities and the rights of the several
States unimpaired; and as soon as these OBJ
jects are accomplished the war ought to
cease.
SAND wHRREAs, Since that time no event
has occurred TO change the feelings Of the
Government, therefore,
- g Resolved, That the principles above ex-
pressed are solemnly re-af6rmed by this
House."

ought not to be debated.
The Speaker replied that the gentleman
from Indiana (Mr. Holmsn) demanded the
previous question, so that it was not de-
batable.
Mr.. Stevens moved that the resolution be
laid on the table. Agreed to by the follow
ing vote:
