MEASURE that the Adniinis;ralon might /
think neeessFy for the suppression Of the
rebelien; but IL does seem to me that this

sider the cost Of transportation Of these
men, thar outfit and their arming, and the
short time they viii render service, repeat
il seems to me- the most expensive service
that the. Government could employ. lsho'
not Ike to vote against il or oppose it; but

me.
Senator Wilson, OF Massachusetts,, tbs
Chairman Of tSs Military COMMITTEES in the
Senate, says:
Mr.. wilson, doaht very much the
wisdom Of this CAL, for | fear that the mon
ey we expend will be to great extent
thrown away. / think the troops We raise
oaght to be raised for a longer period.
Mr. Couness, Of California, another Re
publican Senator says: u r--.i --'a COL
Mr. CoHNEss. .-Itcarl get no vote Of mine.
This part Of the war il clearly being conduc-
ted by the Governors of the States, FIVE of
1hem. object to it. consider my judg
nent small consideration in view Of the
great conditions aad considerations that are
passing in review before me, and | am will
ing to repeat that action. But confess
that when am asked as an Administration
measure, as a measure to put down this re-
bellion, to strengthen the hands Of the Gov
ernment, to vote these $25, ,000,0 900, and
thus initiate an expenditure that promises
, no results Of equal profit and benefit to us,
| it sickens me at heart, aud cannot, sir,
cannot yield to the vote.
A great many of the abolition Senators op-
posed it strongly; but the wise and "judi-
cious" editor of the Caliz Republican de-
hounoes all opposers of fwhateverfanciful ideas
that may come into the head of some of the
loyal Governors as infamous. People
are not go easily gul!ed now with these won
derfd stories They are used to them.
But the Republican man is very loyal,
that word occurring great many times in
the article. We would be obliged for def
initicn Of the term. Webster defines it as
Fealty to Prince" Dees the .RepuJh-
cun think the days Of the Aristocracy re-
established, that we should say King 3 or
Prince" Lincoln, and do,s he wish US to
address him as Lord H,ston,' or the
Earl Of Sal;petre" or Viscount;" or do
We still live in Republican Government
where each man is Sovereign; where the
man who labors for the interests Of the pco-
plais the god aai "loyal'' citizen" 10y
al to his own and his naighbors interests.
We are Of the people of them we
labor for our and their interests which are
identical. We shall never cease to expose
the encroachments of power upon the liber-
ties Of the people, however many adjeo-
tives may bo used by the brainless PARISHES
of power concerning us. If any one refute
our position by argument, we'll and good,
but the day is past when esaseless denuncia-
ton affects the minds of the people. Until
the people are satisfied with good reason,
denunciatons and invectivc are idle.
Mr.. Davis, of KY, tells some plain truths
in discussing this militia business. He lets
the cat out of the bag He says;
Mr.. DAVIS. There was an old lawyer in
AeuLucAy gnu luduS setli dSo WIZ c9VaO-
lished manutactory Of young lawyers,
serve three months, when he turned them
out. He turned them out about as good
lawyers as this term would make soldiers,
and think his mode OF tuition was about
equivalent to the system on which 1t is pro-
posed to get those volunteers. But, sir, the
ways of the President of the United States
10 me are pat finding out. Kentucky knocked
at the door Of the Executive Mansion and OF
the Senate for about eighteen months, for
the privilege ofraislng twenty thousands vol
unteers to serve for Six or twelve months IN
defence of the State. That State was sub
jected to continual raids and invasions along
about hall its exterior border. There, never
was people on earth more anxious for the
passage of measure than were the loyal
men OF Kentucky for the passage Of that
measure Our Governor and one of ON
: principal generals came On here TO lmpor'
tune the Government, and to beset members
of Congress, in season and out Of season, to
get that measure passed.
Mr.. HOWE. Allow me to remind the Sena-
tor that the objection to raising those troops
was that they were to be raised for the SER
vice of Kentucky ....-. .....
Mr.. DAVIS. 1t was proposed that that
force should be volunteer or State militia
force for the defense of Kentucky. When
Lse invaded Pennsylvania and Maryland last
summer, the President impromptu of hi:
own motion, issued first proclamation tt
raise one hundred thousand six months
volunteers for the defense of those States,
and in two or three days he enlarged the
number TO one hundred and twenty thou
sand After long delay we succeeded ir
{ securing the passage by the House Of Repre-,
seDtatives OF our bill authorising us to raise
twenty thousand volunteers, by vote Of
about two to one, and after it had been sus-
pended before the Senate for twelve or fif
!. teen months this body did US the grace and
the special favor to pass it, with an amend.
ment providing that all the force which
might be raised under the bill should be al
all times subject to be ordered by the Presi
dent in other service than the defense of the
State. That condition did not satisfy us
but VIC accepted it, and our Governor went
on and raised upwards Of seven thousand
troops under the law, and he had scarcely
got them assembled together at general
rendezvous, when the President ordered
them all into other States Here is the diff.

neous proclamation from the President to
raise one hundred and twenty thousand
troops for their defense, and here these five
Governors can get authority to call out these
troops, though | have heard it insinuated
