MIR LONGS GREATSP EECH
IN THE YANKEE CONGRESS-.

No item of news, pesApps, says the
Richmond Examiner, has attracted more
attention, or excited moro intereet than
the late bold speech Of Mr. Long in the
Yankee Congress. M sooner was it ut
tered than the whole Republicaa party
was On his heels like pack Of ours. and
an exciting controversy ensued, which
lasted through four whole days. A rcso,
luton was inhtduccd for his expulsion for
daring to ute such sentiments, but,sec-
ing that it could not be carried, there
publicans substituted TOR it resolution of
censure. THIS led to sharp and acri.
monious debate, and was finally carried
but by the very close vote Of eightyNgain.t
seventy. To add further humiliation, as
it were, it VA. proposed that the vote Of
censure be rea to Mr.. Long by the Spea.
ker during the session Of the House, but
this proposition was laid upon the table
by vote of seventy.ens against sixty mite.
Thus ended the whole.
We give few extracts from this speech,
to show the ground upon which MIR. Long
stood, and the views he entertained upon
the issue of the present struggle. This
may be hailed as the first token we have
had from Lincoln's country, that may
possibly lead to a cessation of hostilities.
Mr. Long Introduced his speech as FOL-
lows:
