in the proportion of three Republicans to one
Democrat. He denounced Gen Heintzelman's 9
order prohibiting the purchase of arms and

Henry Clay Dean There was never crime
perpetrated in the history of the world that has

the worlds history an army like that raised to
conquer, in 1861 and G2, what is called the rebel

had ever seen dreamed of such magnificent
array of soldiers. The swamps of the Chicka-
hominy testify to the utter annihiation of that
body. We have tried every art Of war for the
last three years, and we had utterly failed, failed

of the brave Democracy, who commenced pri-

Mr. S. NJ Bernard, of Kentucky, urged the
necessity Of peace, and urged that this Internal
war, now affecting our land with widespread
desolaton, should cease. He said he was under
the iron heel of despotsm, but the proper place
