those resolutions and analized them, seriatim,
minded the Administration members of the
rush of Democrats into the army, from the
very beginning Of the war until lts perversion
at the. instance Of the radical destructives.
He had himself given a much loved brother to
bis country, who fell iu the ssnguinary battle
of Shiloh, martyr to the cause of the Union
and the Constitution. No Administration was
ever sustained by the party in opposition
to it, as has been that Of Mr.. LINcoLN.
Until the emancipation policy was inaugurated,
the Democrats stood by him and defended him
against the assaults that we're made upon him
by the presses and politicians of his own psrty.
It was only when he yielded to the Abolition
"pressure," that they lost confidence in him.
The speaker then reviewed and criticised the
arbitrary and unconstitutional acts Of the Ad-
ministration; and alluded to the great popular
reaction which has been going on for more than
q year, showing Democratic majority 10 near
ly all the loyal States where elections have
been held during that time. The Administra.
ton members were informed, that this reaction
was still in progress, and that IL was bound to
20 on until their party shall be everywhere
swep, out of power. He assured them that
Ohio would indorse the resolutions of Mr..
DREsEL, on the second Tuesday of next octo-
ber, by more. than fifty thousand majority;
while Connecticut would indorse them on the
sixth of April, by ten thousand majority In
this connection, the speaker showed how "aid
and comfort" is given to the rebels by stigma
tizing and denouncing the Democratic
party as sympathlzing with secession and
treason. No matter how much q Demo-
crat may have done for the war and the Gov
ernment, If he fail to indorse ali the usurps-
tions Of the Administration, he is at once set
down ss On enemy to bis country. Abolitiobists
desire trouble in the North, else they would
not persevere 10 this course. Mr.. Myers could
say with perfect impunity, that Mr. LINCOLN
had removed Gen. BUTLER from the command
at New Orleans, because be (BUTLKR) wanted
to hurt the rebels; yet his political associates
commend him for saying it-while Mr.. DREsEL
is to be censured or expelled for expressing an
opinion about the Administration. Stronger
resolutions than his have been adopted by loyal
Legislatures in loyal States within q short
time; and yet, Mr.. DREsEL ia to be censured
or expelled for simply introducing his series in

discussed the difference between the Govern
ment and the Administration at some length
At this point It was announced that Vicks-
burg had been evacuated by the rebels, which
announcement was applauded to the ecno. Mr..
GRlBBEN said he was glad of it, and hoped that
the rebellion wouldsoon be crushed out. He then
closed with an able and powerful defense of Mr.
DREsEL, and glowing and eloquent peroration
The entire speech was listened to with marked
attention, and made an excellent impression
upon the House.

We copy from the Cincinnati Enquirer Of

be t. Grated! The smouldering volcano upon
which we stand, will, il such things are per-
