On motion Of Mr.. STEVENS, the House

Of ths Union, (Mr. W. Kellogg In the chair.)
Mr.. NOELL proceeded TO address the COM
mitiee. He charged that the Democratic party
not only gave no support to the Government In
prosecuting the war against the rebellious
Southern States, but, on the contrary, were
continually obstructing Its successful prosecu-
ton In every way. He spoke at Length upon
the subject.
Mr.. THOMAS, lexcitedly.l ] If the gentleman
desired In any way to elevate the character of
those men of the present day, but whom he was
now denouncing, he could take no better way to
do so than to identify them with the federailsts
Of New England, whom he tThomasl under
took to declare were the most honest and most
patriotic party that ever lived beneath the
| throne Of God. Loud laughter.l
Mr.. NOELL was for the restoration OF the
Union and the prosecution Of the war by all the
physical means In the power of the Govern
ment to subjugate the men who have raised
their arms against the Government. He was
! for no compromise with the men who had nm
dertaken to destroy the Government. He spoke
the sentiments OF the true unconditional Union
men OF the border States. Ofhis own State at
all events, the men who had partaken of the BIT
ter fruits Of the war, whose homes and iiresides
had been desolated, and who had In every way
felt the oppressor's arm. These men are for no
restoration Of the Union short of complete sub
mission to the authority Of the Government,
and short Of a restoration that will bring about
perpetual and enduring peace.
The unconditional loyal men of the border
States are against any peace, any restoration
Of the Union that would recognize African
slavery rs an element Of political power In the
Governments; as combination, North and
South, TO be used as measure Of raising up
or dragging down public opinion. Any such
compromise, or restoration Of the Union on
these conditions, the Union men Of the border
States emphatically denounce. The border
States unconditional Union men desire to see
compensated emancipation carried out as soon
as may be, and knowing this, he had intro
duced bill to that end. One hundred millions
Of dollars would pay for every slave In Mlssou-
ri, Kentucky and Tennessee, the property Of
loyal citizens. Ten millions would pay for
every slave, the property of loyal citizens, In
Missouri. To emancipatc these slaves by COM
| pensatlng their loyal owners, and thus abolish
slavery forever In these border States was the
noble work the Government had now to per-
form. The loyal men Of the border States were
