Mr.. FESSENDEN, Of Maine, proceeded 10
address the House on the subject OF the re-
bclliOn. His constituents were loyal to the

States must lay down their arms repudiate
their pseudo Government, and give up their
leaders 10 that punishment which their crime

II Is not true that slavery is an outlaw In this
Government. It Ia guaranteed by the COusti-
tuition; and 20 long as there Is single State or
part Of State holding slaves, 70 long must Il
be protected. Gentlemen say that slavery Is
wrong. So Is impiety; yet It Is not quite sup.

Mr.. WRIGHT, Of Pennsylvania, took the
middle ground-thst conservative course on
which we all rely to carry us through the pres
