py the gentleman has reminded me OF 1
at this time; and remember in the very
preamble of the Constitution il is declared
TO be ordained for the purpose of promot
ing the general welfare and providing fol
| the common defense; and on that very
statement of its declared object, ! moi
only lifted up my hand to swear to sup
port that Constitution before God, but II
makes me now sorry there had not been s
sword in it when lifted it up. to strike
down any and all who would oppose the
use of all the means God has placed in
our hands for overthrowiBg the rebellion
| forever.
am reminded here of fact which
had well-nigh forgotten. Last summer a
Union spy came to our camp bringing two
letters addressed to major General John
c.. Breckinridge, c. S. A" They were
letters of introduction, stating that the
bearer desired to obtain commission in
the rebel army, and commencing him as
a gallant and reliable man whom Breck
inridge,could trust One of these letter
was signed by man who lately held a
seat in this House
Cries of Name him" from the Dem
ocratic side of the House.
Mr. Garfield will produce the letter
in due time. Ii is not here bere with me.
The other letter was from an associate OF
his, prominent in the local Democratic
politics of the State of Indiana. | am re-
sponsible for producing those letters.
fCries of "Namew w
Mr.. Holman-I hope the gentleman will
give the names now.
Mr.. Garfeld-When ! produce the let
tiers, any further testimony that may he
called for can be had at my hands.
Mr.. Chairman, let me mention class
of facts in this same connection. We
were compelled last year TO send our Sc
cret service men to ferret out the insidu-
Gus work of that organization known as
the knights of the Golden Circle, which
was attempting to corrupt the Army and
destroy its efficiency and il was found
that by the most subtitle and secret means
the signs and passwords of that order were
being made known to such men in the
Army as were disaffected or could be cor
rupted. Witness also the riots and MUIR
ders which their agents are committing
throughout the loyal North, under the
lead and guidance of the party whose
Representatives sit yonder across the
aisle; and now, just as the time is COM
ing on when we are to select President
for the next four years, one cries among
them and fires the bacon, throws up the
blue light which will be seen and rejoiced
over at the rebel capital in Richmond as
the signal that the traitors in our camp
are organized and ready for their hellish
work. l believe the utterance of to-day
is the uplifted banner of revolt. l ask
you to mark the signal that blazes here,
and see if there will not soon appear the
answering signals of traitors all over the
land. If am wrong in this prediction
| shall be thankful, but | am only too
fearful of its truth.
Let me say in conclusion, if these men |
do mean to light the torch of war in all
our homes; if they have resolved to begin |
the fearful work which will redden our
streets and this Capitol with blood, the
American people would know it at once
and prepare to meet it.

Governor Cony.

The State Union Convention occurs next
week. We don't believe there is Union
man in the State that desires any other
man nominated but Gov. Cony. We doubt
if any among all the able and popular Coy
errors OF Maine. there has been one who
has 80 mach cndearcd himself to the pco-
pie, in So short time. as has Gov. Cony.
He gave us a most admirable message TO
commence with, and then addressed HIM
self to the great work Of looking after the
interests of the State, in every department ::
and has diligently, ably. earnestly, and
with hearty good Will! labored for Names
interest and taken care of her good name
as a loyal, liberty loving and patriotic
State. Ill honor to him. He is the right
man in the right place. We hope, in the
Convention Wednesday, he will, as he de-
serves 10, be unanimously renominated.

an account of the affair on board the Cali
loruia steamer ocean Queen, which repre-
,Glts it as HutiEy. On the third day
out. about thirty Of the sailors cndeavored
10 seize the steamer. There had been i'll
dicatious ef trouble previous to this at
tempt, but tie men failed 10 put their plot
into execution. 1t seems that these men
had formed a plan To seize the steamship.
Their first object VAS the killing Of all
persons Who Should oppose them, and the
conspiracy included the running of the
vessel, after her seizure on their own ac-
count The intention Of the mutineers
was II take the vessel Oh the first night
after her departure; but they had 10 en-
glneer Among their number Who could
work her engines. ON the day mentioned
the desPcFadoe., under the prctcnee of
wishing 10 20 into the first cabin, made an
attack upon the officers, when the ing
leaders were shot down, as already report
ed, and tbs rest oyerawed. one IL the
mutineers Was shot by Capt. Tinklepaugh
OF the Ocean Queen.
