the poor privilege Of being hanged with

Mr.. Miles, $50, said that it was q
painful source Of regret do him, to see par
~ feeling exhibited in the legislative halls
Of the nation at 3 time like this. Our
only hope of success in this struggle was
the closest and most traternal union
emong ourselves. Evaporation aud divi-
sion could only be fatal to our cause. II
was, therefore, with great and peculiar
regret that he had heard the remarks Of
the gentleman from North Caroline, Mr..
Leach. He had never heard a word ut
tered on that, floor about North Carolina
that was calculated to wound the sensibilt-
ties Of any man. No one wished to With
hold his admiration Of the good part done
by the noble old North State, much less
not to give her credit. he believed that
to institute comparisons of what such and
such States had done was in bad taste,
and would produce no good. The Militia
ry Committee had never been able to as
certain the precise numbers furnished by
the several States to the army. He was
willing to say tnRt all the States had done
their best, and he would cheerfully accord
that North Carolina had done as we'll al

kicked the platform from under him, and
declared that the first and only object of
this war was the restoration OF the Union.
I, He bad heard from gentleman Of great

the sentiment of the people there was for
carving ON the war until every negro was
free and put in possession of our lands and
homes, and that the people OF Boston were
particularly anxious to make negro coll

before US, was anything needed to show
the utter futility of all this talk of peace

sent to the Emperor Of China would be of
as much assistance 10 us as deputation to
Washington city, if We were in quest of
recognition. he had no doubt that much
could be effected by wise and dexterous
diplomacy. Diplomatic agents could have
done US much good secretlyif they had
