Was upon euE army of more than two hun
! dred and thirty thousand men, who, beins
around this city for forty days under tht
Il command of the gentIelnan's favorite mil
asary leader, wsre not moved at all, ex,
eept upon ths psramptagyi order Of tn,
Commander in. Chief Of the Army?
Mr.. PESDLKToN. It was the spell ol
which have been speaking. It was tht
spell which smanates from this Capitol
and from the other end Of the avenue
the spell Of those influences which art
created, controlled and exerted by tht
Republican party.
i Mr. DAWES. One question farther.
have understood the gentleman to say,
over and over again, that some new ehange
bad come over US that We did carry ou
tbis var for the restoration Of the Union
and sas Constitution that We had unan-
hnousiy come here and pledged ourselves
by our votes TO carry on this war for that
/ purpose, and that It was in consequence
of the change in this respect that our re-
verses have occurred.
i Mr.. PEEDLKroS. think the gentleman
will have to search the records q long
time before he hnds that ever said auy
such thing. certainly never believed it.

the Union, TO reinvigorats the Constita-
tion, by means Of var, in party which
bad refused the least concession Of party

patred and in psace. .r
MT. DAWES. Can the gentleman point
to any obstacle in the way Of that army
bat the quaker guns Can be tell nj
shy that army Of swo or thrse hundred
thousand men remained idle for many
months, eating out the substance Of the
country, and never moved until required
to move BY the Commander in Chief {?
| Mr.. PENDLET0N. | tell you, one
obstacle was the maiign influences which
emanate from this city. Another obsta-
Gle was the continued, persistent, unwise
interference With we'll considered militia
Try plans, BY men whose ignorance OF
military matters is only equaied by their
presumption and audaeity. The general
TO whom you have alluded led his armies
in trinmph in Western Virginia. He was
stopped by no quaker guns until be came
within the charmed circles which surround
Washington. The armies of the Wesl
meet with no obstacles Of that kind.
