Military Arrests.

last week. and Senator Morrill, and Fess.
enden made speeches upon the subject
We publish the commencement of Senator
Fesscnden's remarks below:
Mr.. Fessenden. Mr.. President, the de-
bate upon the resolution has taken quite
wide range, much wider than, perhaps
would seem to be necessary from its ap-
parent object. The Senator from Ken
lucky has gone largely into the consider
alton of the acts of the President since
he has been President of the United
Stator. He has also taken occasion to
talk about the recent Democratic victo-
ries. | believe he introduced that por-
tion of the discussion into the Senate. l
am one Of those who had hoped that, in
the present state of the country, as little
would be said as possible about political
parties. Sir, [ believe that the Prcsi-
dent of the United States has given the
best possible proof that he could give by
his acts, especially his appointments, that
he was disposed, in this great crisis, to
forget that there was such a thing as a
political party in the country and yet,
sir, that is dragged into this debate evil
deEtly with design of getting up po-
litical discussion. Sir, | shall not follow
in that line alludo to it simply for
the sake of saying that when the Senator
from Kentucky talks about the triumph
of the Democratic party as moral trl-
umph, | am at loss to understand what
he means. 1t would seem to me to be a
misnomer, u contradiction in terms, a
thing that none Of US who known any
thing about the Democratic party in its
recent exhibition Of patriotism, could lay
claim to. \ moral triumph was it My
friend from New Hampshire, in the an
eedote that he has told US, has ilIustra-
ted what kind of moral triumph the
Democratic party has gained.
Now, sir, with reference to the pend
ing question, it is, as | said before, of
itself narrow: but the debate has taken
such range that it is necessary we should
follow it to a certain extent. With ref
erencc to the arrests that have been made
by the President, or under the direction
of the. .President-apparently,l am willing
to say, without law--much has beea said
in the country 1t has been alleged by
gentlemen representing the Democratic
party-the Democratic clement as it calls
itself, though for the credit Of many men
