nounce traitors and sympathizers with trea-
son. The member from Ohio rose in his
place and made personal application to him
self. If the member saw proper to make such
application he had a right to do so. 1t was
not for him (CampbelD to dispute the faithful
ness Of his own sketch. 1t was pretty state
of things if they could not denounce traitors
in the American congress. He had violated
no rules. His expressions were sweeping,
and adapted to every traitor in the land. If
we Che said) cannot denounce rebels and
their sympathizers, we fail in our duty to the
country, and are slaves and towards.
Mr.. BINGHAM characterized the speech Of
Vallandigham as unworthy Of him. Two days
ago, in the very spirit of his speech tonight,
the gentleman undertook to demonstrate, by
mutilating letter of secretary Seward, that
the constitution did not allow the administra-
tion to protect itself against armed rebellion.
Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM said he never under
took to catechiSe his colleague. His colleague
could not draw him into a wrangle, for which
he (Bingham) was qualified, and for which he
(Vallandigham) had profound contempt.
Mr.. BINGHAM cared not whether his col
league took notice or not. The people would.
lie did not recognize his colleagues right to
call his motives in question. His colleague
was the last man on earth with whom he would
wrangle He then replied to Vallandigham.
His design was to send ont the antidote to
the poison which his colleague attempted to
intuse into the public mind.
Mr.. VOORHEES,, after alluding to Mr.. Olin's
opening remarks, said, the latter had no right
to instruct the gentlemen here how they
should act, and to prescribe for them line of
conduct. After him, came the strapped and
buttoned gentleman from Pennsylvania, who
howled out his notes threatening to consign
the minority to eternal damnation, when the
popular denuncation should reach them. In
private intercourse, the gentleman from
Ohio, Mr. Bingham, was the most cour-
teOus man with whom he ever met. On
this floor a stranger would take HIM
to be Cato the censor; but he was not, for we
read that Cato was digniied. The gentle
manis severe simply in manner, notin matter;
storming and terrible to those who knew him
not; but those who knew him regarded his
remarks as a ridiculous and pleasant episode.
He endeayored to attack his distinguished
colleague, (Mr. Vallandigham,) WHO had by
his able argument held all his listeners spell
bound. Who constituted the gentleman
judge of his colleague? Where was the
standard for arraigning the minority on this
floor! We, said Mr.. Voorhees, hold you in
sovereign and most nnmitgated contempt.
He then spoke of being repudiated at the
polls of having broken their pledge, and Of
their practicing stupendous frauds to raise ar
mics on false pretences.
After further debate, Mr. OLIN, at half-past
eleven, moved the previous question on the
bill. Mr.. Pendleton moved a call of the
house. Mr.. Ancona asked to be excused from
voting. Mr.. VOORHEES, demanded the yeas
and nays on that. Mr.. Mallory moved to adj
journ. Mr.. Noble called the yeas and nays
on the latter motion. Decided in the affirma-
tive, by one majority. Adjourned.
