AT thevxpiratiOn OF the moTIng hour, on motion
of Mr. WRIGHT (Un., Ind.i the bill fer the dis.
J.
Mr.. POWELL Dem. Ey.) proceeded to SPEAK at
kngth n answer TO the speech Of Mr.. Wright. lie
alluded to quotations from Jefferson as authority for
She suspension Of the habeas corpus AMI for making
rrests. He cones ded that Jefferson never was in
NOr Of arbitrary arrests. He referred TO the TACT
nat Jefferson, whom president, and when certain
eIret.s were made by Gen. jackson, cent the aiR-
dsvts and charges 10 Congress- and handed the per-
sons over 20 the civil anthorty-disectly the oppo
site Of the course now taken by the President and
the Administration. He referred also 10 the last
speech made by Senator Douglas, IN which he sale
he would resist any interference with the institution
OF State; and he claimed that the Senator from
indiana mad no ffgiIt 20 quite Senator Douglas IN
authority for mprlsOnlng peaceful citizens in toe
Bastiles Of the country. He denied that loyalty L
che Government included loyalty to the President
Mr. WRIGHT (Un., Ind.) said that in time o.
war he believed IL TO be the duly of every loyal man
~ support the Government and give it ell assistance
pended on the character of the war. He believed
iris war commenced TO overthrow the institu-
ssons OF the South, and he believed that it
tSr0wing the COnstltutlon, and he would give il
neither money nor men. He claimed that the late
actions in Indiana showed that the people did not
agree with the Senator'S sentiments- They were IN
favor Of the Constitution and opposed to the acts Of
the present Administration. The people would COZ
tinue TO triumph and would at the next Presidential
election obtain possession Of the Government and pre-
terve the Constitution.
Mr.. WRIGHT. in reply, said he did not acknowl-
edge that Democracy az true which in time Of war
refused to aid the Government. There had been a
Burr, Calhoun, and Breckenridge in the ranks Of
The Democracy; and many of the Democrats who
year ago were acting with the Senator from Ken
lucky were now in the Rebel army. He Wright
did not belong TO that wing of the Democracy Il
was the duty Of every loyal Democrat 10 and the
Government, by every means in his power in lts
struggle for life; aud in hour like this he could
draw distinction between the Government and
esose who were carrying il and trying TO save IT.
81 esslon was the death Of the nation, and any ad
ssion Of that principle by sO-caed propositions Of
peace from socalled Democrats death to the na-
ton. Yet tbere were men now trying 10 get into
political power through the msfortunes of the coun-
try. The sentiments OF Senator Douglas could not
be mistaken, when he declared that there could be
no neutrality in this Men must be either
friends or traitors. Would the men who deprecated
war upon the Rebels counsel submission to them
Would they yield the Government up TO the power
OF treason If not their mutterings were mere
idoey The keynote of all this had been sounded
IN NewYork under the specious claim Of State Sow
regnty. This neiariOus doetrine-that the State ad
sLe power to override the country in time of war
Ike this-must be put down, or the Government
v I'D be ruined. Men had kept still year, until
fortune fell upon our arms, and then
.iy came out and cried against the war in
che name Of Democracy, because they thought they
could gain political power And here to-day Sem
ntor had talked for an hour and half concerning
sbe war, and bad not said one word against these
hecels, who were trying TO break up the Govern.
pcent. II ever this Government fell its death would
sone from traitors in the North and 1t was time
shat the Government took measures 10 defend itself
against these traitors There were Is 900 graves IN
lEoiana to-day and she had sent one hundred thou
saEd men 10 the held, and she would send one humid
red thousand, and one hundred thousand aud one
hundred thousand more, before the Government
taouid iail oy the hand OF treason. Applause in
