Under these circumstances, that these Ismilies
have strong claim to our cure and protection,
no just and loyal man will deny. The Delaware
Volunteers have done nobly and welt. The

Just before the vote was taken in the U. S.
House ofRepresentativas on the bill for en-
rolling the militia, Mr.. CRTITENDEN Of Ky.
spoke as follows This measure was the natu
raj result of inevitable causes. Last year they
were united in the purpose of restoring the
Union, and 50 declared by a resolution unan-
imously adopted, setting forth that the whole
object in prosecuting the war was to restore the
Union, and not to subvert or interfere with the
institutions of the States. The unity Of the
South and the division of the North resulted
from their departure from their del arturo from
this patriotic declaration. They had violated
the pledges of last year, and the consequence
was dissatisfaction and discord. The MAJ ority
which the abolitioists had in the House was an
accidental one, and had already been removed
by the people. The abolition policy-conisca
ton; emancipation and negro soldiers bills
had disafected the people; and they no long
er rushed to arms with alacrity. The people
being no longer with them, they proposed to
force them into the service by coercion, and to
multiply provost marshals, and create new
system Of military jurisdiction to which the
people were unaccustomed. Their only remedy
was to regain the confidence and hearts of the
people, by abandoning abolition schemes and
giving their attention to the salvation Of the
country Without doing that this bill would
accomplish no good.
