EoS seI9fst. II Is the great cry Of these North ern synpathlzers that the Union as it was'' will not be restored by those who are i,f favor of q vigorous prosecution of the war. No earth. ly power can restore the Union as it was. The tsaeaded siafesuhase, by their own act; 1destroy- ed many of the rights they once possessed.

 Mir. Bcnnett in reray said. In answer to the
 question, Who began the war? he admitted that thssrsbefs fired the gun. He would not bsay that Jeff Davis or any other, secessionist had not done wrong, nor was the North with out sin. He proceeded to apologize for the rebels-they had great provocation. He did not think secession was right-hei claimed to be failhfsl to the Constitution. B He went on to accuse the United States Government of swindling- -plunder and robbery is the order of the day. 2oda' 4l9E 3- 'f,eal'f7,I
 Mir. Phillips said he would not long infringe tupon the time of the Senate. It appears that the victories whicl, crown the armies of th,
 Union in the field, aud the tliunphs which the | friends of the Union gain at the ballot box - as they have in Ohio. Pennsylvania and lastly in New York--which thrill the heart of us all who believe that the Union shall be sustained, cause those of whom the gentleman from the 10th is one, to hahg the;r heads in melancholy, doubt and fear. The speech of the gentleman bis most remarkable one. He would withhold men and means from the government. and have the rebel Gen. Lee capture Washington and proclaim to us the beauties of the Mont
 gomery Consti ation and yet he tells us that he. Is sworn to support the Constitution of the United States. 50 is Jefferson Davis, and every other rebel im the Southern States. sworn to support the Constitution. He denies that he is a asecessionist > yetsl ask if any jury of twelve ---toreignersf you please-- without I prejudice-had listened tD hls speech here this molning would they have Eut--cuuld they have failed forgive a verdict that it was direct expression of sympathy for those is rebellion Iii speaking of the Union us it was, the gentle man laysgreat stress. Il tell him the Union as it icas cannot agnip be. One million slaves have already been made free, and you cannot make q slave out of free man. The ubj,ct Eof tie war is not to free slaves but the freeing ofthem is anincdent of the Map, brought about not by tile North--but by tl,e suichlai act of Hsecesslon itself A Man---,t Senaior--who
 will avow that he is opposed to reDlenishins olr army, and will offer no substitute propns ition, whsnr he knows that powerful rebel tainly is within d few miles of Washingto';. and when he knows that Jefferson Davis is opposed to all compromise, and refuses to [cope back into the Uniau any way should be on the other side of the line among the friends
 he loves 80 well. But for tn s class of men in
 the North, the rebellion would have been sub
 dued long ere this. Their influence is how
 ever, waning. The people of the loyal States are speaking in loud tones, and the voice rings for War until armed rebellion shall be subdued
 The masses of the people are for crushing the rebellion-of applying blows thick and fast till the ConfaderAcy shall totte. and they will not be backward in furnishing men and money,
 when our depleted armies need replenishing |'Fhe gentleman talks of the parry of Jefferson
 Why Mr. President the so-caed Democratic party of to day is no more like the party of
 Jefferson than the demons are like angels of
 Heaven. These men who take occasion, by speeches by votes, and in every conceivable
 way to place Instructions in the way of the I Governmem in it's struggle for the naintenancs I of its authority and the supremacy ofnEe Com stitution, will be held iu utter execration by
 future generations. s! Their fall will be com
 pared to that of Satan from the buttlements ol
 the World of Light to the lowest derths of infamy. and their lives will be paralleled with the Judas and Arnolds of history. The Democratic doctrine which found a warm and
 earnest advocate iu Thomas Jefferson was :: our country, right or wronc.' It is not the doctrine of the men who call themselves the
 Democratic party in these days-Slavery first 1;
 the Union afterwards, The principal Denoc-
 racy exists to day as bright as it ever did !: men change, not democracy. Those who take ground against this war-men like Val
 Endigba,n, the Woods, the, Seymours, etc. do not represent the Democracy ofthe county.
