be - C0es TO meet the invadele q that
State. They koew the passes and were familiar
with the face Of the country. The 6tate of
Kentucky wanh an army Of her own, and
she will take care Of her own enemies.
Mr.. HICKMAN wanted to put the defence Of
Missouri and Kentucky on the sane footing -
the other States. II is not Just 70 make this
discrimination. Il alloWs .dlasrsnt privileges
to certain States, which other States would not
enjoy. He wantedall our soldiers put On the
same footing, and oil u them subordinate 10
the Commander IL chief Of our army.Dsi ,s /
hr. THOMAS, Of Maryland, said be would
answer The objections Of The gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mes Hioknan.) We have an
element 10 Maryland, Missouri, and Kentucky,
which the non-slaveholding Ststes do not have
to contend with. This was the secession. ele-
ment among the white population. Maryland
has about twenty Ave thousand Of these traitors
in her midst They are known to the Union men
Of Maryland. They are appreciated BY our
Union men. We DO not ask The General Gov.
srrment TO take care of these enemies; We
only ask the privilege Of raising guard 70
take care Of them for the Government There
was another class In these border States 10
take care of. We want guard to take care o.
the slaves, In order 10 prevent the insurrec-
tionary torch from lighting up our dwellings
with the midnight glare Of destruelion. ..Hia
Mr.; LOvHOY aid that one objection yhich
had been raised aEainst the amendnSnt VA
that II would diSbA0d and send home q, porllcn
Of our army. He did not think that ought to con-
.titute an objection. We have now more sol.
diers In the Held than any body commaudlng
them knows what 10 do with. We can spars
from the army Of the Potomac fifty thousand
soldiers for action 10 the State Of Kentucky.
They are doing nothing here. he was opposed
to the policy Of having the allegiance OF our
soldiers circumscribed BY State line ~ y
Mr.. BLAIR stated that that was not The oh.
ject or the effect Of this movement These men
Of the border States were under the control Of
the Commander.in Chief. 80
Mr.. LOvEJOY. Then why not enlist them
a. the other soldiers Of the army are enlisted :
He trusted that God would send somebody To-
command our forces. He believed that be
would. The gentleman from Maryland Mr.
Thomas) stated that he wanted aguard fortw
objects. One was to put down the secession
ists. That was just what he thought the army
was raised for. And he was In favor Of hav.
ing them perform that work as speedily as pos.
sibe. The other object of the gentleman was
to take care Of the slaves. He was emphau
caiiy opposed to having our soldiers used for
such purpose. He would not vote dollar,
or man, for the purpose of allowing man 70
hold woman by the naked aseh, while he was
lacerating her back with the lash. n''.' .
Mr.. MALLORY, of Kentucky, rose to a point
of order. He denounced the expressions Of the
gentleman as ungentlemsnly conduct.
Mr.. THOMAS, Of Maryland, said he wanted
advantage of the peculiar circumstances Of the
times TO infsme the passious Of the slaves, from
accomplishing their insurrectionary purposes
His people wanted power to prevent the influx
| OF foreign negroes, baboons, or anybody else
| from raising iusurrections In our midst.

Mr. VALLANDfGHAM,o a Ohio, then pro
ceeded st some length to oppose the measures
of the BILL and To defend his own substitute.
Mr.. COVODE, Of Pennsyl lvsnis, defended ths
bill. 1t would give the people all the advsnt.
ages Of q United States Bank, with none Of IL
objections Each separate bank would have
control Of its own deposits and loans. The i'm.
portant, yet simple question now Is, how shall
we provide measures for the .maintenanoe Of

dicious taxation Of our large resources, would
accomplish that object
