Remarks of Hon. Jno. T. Harris.

-~~--~>~~~~~ - ~A~AAs
On the 9th inst, the Representative from this
District made few very sensible and seasonable
remarks. As we find them reported, they we're
as follows:
Mr. Harris, of Virginia, addressed the House.
He said that mary questions OF grave considera-
ton, and variety of items for fruitful specua
ton present themselves to the observer of current
events. Issues which are involved would not
only affect the present. but their consequences
will reach far into the future generations, and
determine for veal or woe, the destiny of Repub-
lican Institutions. Under such circumstances,
aud in view of such consequences, be conceived
it to be the part of wisdom, as well as the COM
mand of duty, for every member of that body in
the charge of his representative trust, to do all
in his power to avert the calamity which now
threatens our common country. The Republi-
cans had the power now, if they would come for
ward, and not only prevent further rupture, but
bring back those States already gone. Ii the
government and this Union were entirely broken
up, it would be impossible to reconstruct it. AS
well talk of reconstructing the shattered vase, or
the earth after it has been consumed with fire as
to attempt to reconstruct this government after
it has been divided by Masons and Dixons line.
Let the friends of the Union and of adjustment,
stand firm, and all our troubles may yet be
ended. He urged upon the Republicans the ac-
ceptance of the Crittenden propositions; to do
as Webster did in 1850, come forward In behalf
of the country, and save it from total destruction,
or would they under the name of executing the
laws, 'let slip the dogs of war;" lfthey failed
TO do the former, and pursued the latter course,
he had no threats, no prophecies to make. he
only asked them to remember, that 1.-THE race is
not always to the swift, nor the battle to the
strong"
