Our Democratic Senators, Congressman and
lures may well take an example from the
heroic conduct Of the opposition in the French
Chambers. The following specimens of their
courage and their disdsn of unwarrantable i'm
putations are we'll worthy of the imitation of
those in opposition to their despotism:
There have been several stormy scenes 10 the
Chambers during the week; but the incorporate
language has never proceeded from the oppos-
ton. These formidable fifteen or twenty men
are sure of their force and can afford TO be mod
crate and courteous to their adversaries NJ
Rouland, the minister of state, was most unfor-
tunate, in reply 10 NJ Jules Favre. in using the
word "disloyal" as a personal epithet The
moment the word was uttered the whole opposi
ton to their feet and protested against it as
unparliamentary; consequently, his excellency.
the minister of state, force to retract-not a
very digni6ed position for so lofty functionary.
NJ. Theirs, who spoke again yesterday, said
upon rising: "He had not the presumption to
imagine that anything he could say would change
the vote OF the Chambers. but that he had some
thing TO say about principles" Jules Favre said
boldly the day before that il was not with the
hope of carrying their measures that they were
now putting forth all their force; they felt, with
a celebrated orator of the Revolution. when he
said. 1--WE are but six in this inclosure, bet we
/ have behind us all France"
It is burning shame that we, the inheritors
and participators of many years of freedom.
should learn I freeman's duty from the subjects
of despotism. But the grand position of these
few men. standing out for liberty against the
most powerful p9tentate Of modern times, sur
rounded with every appliance for his success and
their destruction; is lesson which, through the
humiliation of the contract. should burn itself
into the American heart. Our friends, too, are
but few in that enclosure at Washington: but
they have behind them the people of the United
States. Would that they could feel this. pro
claim it, and act upon It,

rive Hundred Thousand More.


The country will be astnnished this morning at
the announcement that Mr. Lincoln has ordered
a draft on the l0th of March next for "A sufficient
numb of men to make half million in all
counting the recently secured volunteers and re
enlising veterans.
This call will occasion great disappointment in
such parts Of the country as have quite or almost
secured the quota under the call for three hun
dred thousand men. The mingled INDIGESTION aud
preciptancy OF the administration in these con-
dieting orders will disgust every one At first
three hundred thousand men were chilled for
without reference 10 the veterans Then il was
provided that every re enlising veteran should
count on the quota of the district he was origi
nally trken from After nearly every county in
the North had put forth extra exertions to tll up
their several compliments, we now have al or
der for two hundred thousand So
large draft nc any time would he serious tax
upon the resOrces of the country, but it will he
borne all the more uuwillingly on account of the
obvious bad faith of the government from the
start
IL is not probable that more than two hundred
thousand men have vet been raised under the
original call and in the month which is yet 10
come fifty thousand will he the number, at the
outside, of the new recruits. This will leave "A
quarter Of million OF men to be secured by the
new draft. Ii il is designed TO secure that large
complement. from seven 10 elgnt nunureu tnou-
sand men must be drawn, unless indeed, il Is The
intention of the Administration to throw out the
exemption fee and cut off the various pleas by
which exemptions for disability have heretofore
been secured
Upon the city of New York this draft will
come with peculiar severity. On account Of the
singular inelficiency OF Supervisor Blunt, who has
had the charge OF recruiting in this neighbor--
hood; we have not yet secured five thousand OF
the eighteen thousand required OF Us under the
call Of October IL 1863 Under the new call
over thirty Thousand will be required from
the city Of New York, and consequently five
sixths of our quota will have 20 be drafted. IL

Il is very clear that recent advices from the
South must have seriously alarmed the Admins
tration respecting the probabilities OF the coming
spring campaign. Notwithstanding the accounts
which reach us from the Coniederacy of the
shoetBess OF Supplies and the despair OF the mid
die classes, ii Is evident that so far ~ military
power is concerned. the rebellion has never been
stronger than IL will be found to be when the

H0I1SE


The House refused to adjourn till Monday, and
proceeded to vote on Holmes motion to table the
resolution amendatory of the confscation act,
which disagree toll to 90.
Several motions were made and voted on by
yeas and nays to delay time, when accOmmo-
daton WAS arrived at concerning the actor on
the joint resolution, namely. that Messrs. Blair,
of Missouri. Smith. OF Keniurky and Pruyn shall
speak, then a vote shall be taken.
Mr.. Blair opposed the pending motion, saving
it made an issue between the President and those
who. as party, suDpOted him.
Mr.. Smith of Kentucky favored the confsca-
ton of all rebel property. We should whip this
helish rebellion down.
Mr.. Pruyn OF New York made speech against
secession, but claimed the privilege Of insisting
that the Administration should act in obedience
to the Constitution.
The resolution passed: ayes. 81; noes. "a.
The joint resolution as passed amends that of
July. 1862 making it read that no punishment or
proceeding under it shall be so construed as to
work forfeiture of estate Of offender, contrary to
the Federal Constitution; provided that other
public warning or proclamation shall be required
than that made by the President on the Dist of
July. 60. which shall be received and held suf6-
cient in all cases now pending and that may
hereafter arise under said act.
The House then adjourned until Monday.

the advancing forces of the Union. 1t may be
that all the halt million men who are called for
will be required. We think, indeed, they will be
needed; but it is discreditable the Administra-
ton that this was not foreseen months ago, be
fore it stultifed itself by calling for three humid
red thousand men, and giving out to the country
that the districts which raised the volunta-
riy would not be called on for further sacrifices,
and then, after the money had been laid out and
the various counties aid townships heavily taxed
to secure volunteers, that it should break faith
with the several localities, and make an addi-
tional call, which was not expected and could not
have been provided for.
1t is given out IRON Washington as justi6ca-
ton that trouble IL anticipated with France; but
this we do not believe. The situation of affairs
in Europe is too serious for Napoleon to add to
his difficulties by gratiitous controversy with
this country.
IL is also limited that the exemption clause will
probably be stricken out OF the enrolment act
by Congress; but this doubtless is to stimulate
volunteering.--I New York World.

night Of the 29Jf of January, SPIRITED debate
occurred between Wendell Phillips and VIM
Lloyd Garrison upon the conduct of the Admin
istratOn
The former emphaticaly condemned, while
the latter explicitly commended the policy of
President Lincoln
Mr. PHILLIPS said: EITHER the North must rise
in the opinion of unanimously crushing the Pres
ilent into submission, or we must have a differ
ent leader for the next four wears IL Mr.. Chase
should give up his bank system. the nation would
be eighteen millions year richer in the i'm
mense interest which goes to these National
Banks, which in thirty or forty years would pay
the whole debt, aod yet this man is called IA
Hnancier. We have right to demand that the
doors of the war power shall not be closed until
the whole hideouS cancer is destroyed. Perhaps
with Chase for President. Butler in the War De-
partment, and Fremont at the head of our ar
mics, we might close the war in two years; but,
after ALL public opinion Is what is wanted. With
the Tribune. Evening Post and Herald at com
mand. even Judge Tuusey can be made to have
regard TO justice.

recent remlrk in Music n al. "that the Presi-
dents character was sun so bright that we
could not see the ew spots upon the surface"
and to night the gentleman h I'd spent an hour in
blackening Mr. Lincoln all over. styling him a

Saws n. washington correspondent Of the

New York Journal of Commerce:
The great feature Of the debate in the House
last evening was a speech on Confscation from
Mr. Edgerton. of Indiana, He came here with
high reputation and his first speech has given
him very high position among our national
Legislators. His arguments were clearly and elo
quently presented, and the whole scope Of bis
feeling on the subject Of the rebellion may be
understood by the single declaration that he
made. "that the work of true restoration must
begin 10 the hearts Of The people. In driving out
hatred and malice and cupidity. in restoring
reverence for the Constitution and its sacred OBJ
legations, in a disposition 10 temper mercy with
justice, in disposition 10 bury in oblivion the
follies and sins Of the past" SO long as We
have men who can sincerely talk 10 that strain,
we must not dispair Of the Republic.
