Mr.. Horton, (Rep.) of Ohio, hoped that the
| House would at once pass the resolution: Is
burmese was to notify The country OF our lnten-
son To provide for the support OF the govern

! of This fact until we can mature measures lof

Mr.. Bingham, (Rep) of Ohio, said that the
resolution proposed that the House should pro
coed without unnecessary delay to discharge the
first duty imposed upon them, namely, 10 pro
vide for the common defense and general wei
fare. and for the suppression OF the reDeil0h'
which strikes at the nations life, and which is
unparalleled in the history Of the past, whether
we consider the extent of territory exposed anu
( the resources it commands, or the great interests
aad immortal hopes which depend upon the
issue. All GOOD men agree that it can be sup
pressed ony by the dread af3ltEanent oil Da'llo
Mr.. Campbell. (Rep) Of Pennsylvania, IN
1uired whether It was not as necessary to de-
nrive the enemy of the sinews Of war as 1t was
10 provide means TO put down the rebellion, ana
whether it was tbe purpose OF the committee on
tha judiciary 70 report a bill to coahscate ue
property Of rebels and free their slaves.
Mr.. Binrhau would directly answer the ques-
ton. The supremacy of the law, he argued,
was essential to the nations existence. The re-
ubEc cannot live unless the laws are Cbeyed.
For the suppression of this rebellion the repre-
sentaives of the people may authorize the army
of the people 10 do whatever may be NECESSARY
for that purpose consistent with justice. ihey
shall employ whatever means may be necessary
70 this end. He went further when ne said we
have not discharged our dutyin accordance with
The laws already passed. lie hoped all would
agree 20 cOnfscate rebel property wherever found,
and it was their duty to pass, without delay, not
only a bin 70 couhscate the property OF rebels,
real. personal and taxed, but declaring the IN
conditional freedom of the four millions OF slaves
bv whose toll this rebellion is maintained. Then
it may be said, The Lord bath iriumphed glo-
rouslv: the horse and his rider have been thrown
into the sea- He maintained that plenaTy pow
sr resides in Congress to declare the unconditon-
al emancipation Of the slaves.
The House then passed the resolution, under
the operation Of the previous question, by yeas
1873, nays ,.
Mr.. Blair, (Rep) Of Missouri, from the militia
ny committee, reported a bill amendat0ry of the
erect tax bin, and for Hberating and eolonizing
the slaves Of rebels, which was committed 70
the committee Of che whole on the state Of the
Union.
Mr. Elliott (Rep) Of Massachusetts,, from the
committee On commerce, reported q eil prohib-
ting the Chinese cOoiie trade by Americans, in
American vessels, which was passed after a
speech Ia its favor. in which he said 1t could not
be found IN all the history Of the slave trade
that greater atrocities and violations of human
and divine. law have been committed than in the
e0olie trade, which fact the official documents
disclose.
TIE House, in committee, proceeded to the
consideration Of the fortiieation bill
Mr. Wa5sworh, (Union) Of Kentucky. re-
piled 10 Mr. Binghsm's argument that the Con-
gress. under tine Constitution, has power to
emsncipate the slaves. He would not vote a
dollar under sEch an Interpretation. No powers
/ could BE exercised unless expressly granted or
/ plainly de5ucible from ths instrument. Emsn-
cipation was a f0rg0ne conclusion with Mr.
/ Bingham, who had 10 sustain his position by
argument, however lsllacious. Those we charge
that Kentucky wants 70 dictate, and hiss as many
/ soldiers ia the rebel ranks as those Of the Union,
misread history. She has rot in the former five
thausani. while in the lattst thirty thousand Il
was a vile SANDER on the people Of the country
TO say they could not put dVwn the rebellion.
and hence be presumed the necessity TO employ
blacks for this purpose. The rebellion can be
quelled if we are ust divided; but, if emanci
patton be the d5elssed policy, fifteen instead Of
eleven States win 1. placed ia rebellion, while
many from the free States VIII lay down thsil
arms. unwilling to be parties TO so unjust and
unconstitutional a policy. lie appealed 70 gen.
hemen 20 stand like 3 wal around the COnstiEu
ton, aud in fraternal spirit unite foE the pres
e%rvstion Of the country from the dangers which
now surround it.
