and do not mean to maintain these objects
Mr.. Davis explained that be had referred to
those in power.
Mr.. Hale replied that the Senator had made
nm allegation which embraced every Senator
1t was an allegation which, II true, would dis
grace the vilest inmates of the penitentiary.-
The country Is at stake. God is trying the
great question of free government before the
world aud in the course Of his providence has
entrusted the destnes Of the country 10 their
hands. We're they to have a man rise here, and
before the world before heaven aud earth, aud

soud justify every inmate in the penitenIiary

character Of the President was also included in
this allegation. lie believed one thing met ev-
erybody's assent, namely, that Mr.. Lincoln is
eniuenily au honest and patriotic man. To-day,
Tor the first time, he has heard the honesty aud
patriotism Of the Executive questioned lie
ap?rehended that the Senator did not appreciate
the character of the accusation. No QUE strikes
u harder blow than he who lsosens confidence in
the patriotism and integrity Of those to whom
are cunhded our destinies II the Government
has called for black soldiers to take up arms,
and called them out to fight the battles OF the
country, II is bound to protect them, at all haz-
ards, by every agency it can put forth. The
Government having used them, and they having
become prisoners, il they are abandoned to their

tory. The party in power has one aim, and that
aim is in the country but one purpose. and
that is the salvation Of the country lie be-
heyed those who support the President are il

that the Administration and its supporters desire

After the capture Of Brownsville, General
Banks paid an official visit to the American
Consul at Matamorns. The Mexicans, having
previously learned Of his intention to do 20, de-
cided to give him public reception, Of which
We find an account in the New Orleans Times.-
A deputation was dispatched to invite him to the
Public Hall The Military were paraded a sa-
lutte was fired, and all the enthusiasm of gala
day was manifested, Speeches were made by
Srs. Argues, Cortina, and others, expressing
their sympathy with the Federal cause 10 the
United States, aud their belief that the result
would he favorable to the cause represented by
General Banks.
General Banks replied, hoping that Mexico
would come out of her present troubles triumph
antly, aud, after great many mutunl express
sions of friendship and sympathy, the party adj
journed to the office of the American Consul. -
The citizens of Matamoras were highly pleased
with the qniet unassuming manners of sthe
American General. One poor fellow, however,
seemed greatly disappointed. He was an old
Mexican soldier, had fought at Palo Alto and
Resaca de Ia Palma. He evidently expected To
see something more than human. "Ah, Senior, "
said he, "the Americans are not what they
were ct Palo Alto. remember them well there /;
their horses were larger than elephanta, and the
head Of mounted American reached the
heavens"

My old sorrow wakes aud cries,
For know there is dawn in the far, far north,

Like'a scarlet fleece tho snOw-felds spread
And the ice iounts run free,
Aud the bergs begin to how their heads,
And plunge, aud sail in the sea.

And my love that loved me so
