Treason I'm Congress.

The traitors IN Congress are beginning TO show
their hands. Mr. Long, of Cincinnati, in a
speech IN the House the other day, said:
II believe there are but two alternatives and
these are, either the acknowledgment of the in
dependence Of the South as an independent ma
fion, or their complete subjugation and exter-
mination as people; and Of these alternatives
prefer the former
Speaker Oolfax Immediately offered resolu-
tion that Long be expelled, which brought the
Jeff. Davis side of the House TO his defense
Harris of Maryland, said that he endorsed ev-
cry word of Longs speech, and said that the
South could never be conquered, and he prayed
God Almighty to grant that it never would be. y
A motion was then made to expel Harris, which
motion received large majority vote of the
members. but it failed for the want of the Con-
stitutional number, viz: two thirds vote. "A
resolution Of severe censure, declaring that Har-
ris was unfit to occupy seat in the House re-
ceived nearly unanimous vote-there being
but Is nays against it.
Fernando Wood then said that he endorsed
Longs speech, and called upon the House to
expel him. (WOOd.)
Longs case was still before the House yes
terday, but would probably be decided before
night. Many members have made speeches on
the motion, and the debate is highly damaging
TO the opposition, and the record they have made
is terrible against them. Schenck's (Union)
speech is stated to have been the ablest OF the
session

OUR SEVENTRRNTH PRESIDENT.

Somewhere Ia the world man is living who
Is going to be the next President of the United
States But the question who he is, is second
10 the question what he isl We care not SO
much to know the name of the man who IS to
take the sympathies of the United people Of
these States into the hollow OF his hand TO mould
and educate as they allow him to, as to know
what are the motives which actuate him. We
do not want man of sentiment, as the phrase
goes for we do need one, and must have man
of action We need man whose sentiments,
unostantatiously set forth, are such can be
consistently acted up to day by day, hour by
hour. We want man the bone and muscle of
whose brain are of metallic firbre and the strings
Of whose heart can be swept by the mighty
rushing wind emanating from the genius of the
people over whom he presides. We have had
sixteen Presidents. We are having our six
teenth now of the fifteen whose terms are
completed, one-third have served two terms
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
jackson enjoyed the honor of being reelected
For eight yesrs each they governed the United
States and shaped its destinies accordingly,
while Harrison and Taylor were nipped in the
bud OF their Presidential power. All the Pres
idential re-elsctions occurred before we have
proceeded half way down the Presidential list
Perhaps Abraham Lincoln will set the old ex-
ample, and make it new again.
The only man who mas thus lar proved hiln-
selfto the people of the United States equal to
the emergencies Of the age is Abraham Lincoln:
We have a past in his career 10 look upon, and
trust In II stands before the present as before
a minor, wherein, it may be, his own premOni-
tious discern a reflection which shall grow re-
alitv in the future. The principle of UniOnism,
at all costs, is the foundation principle which
should govern the President. The nation has
passed through years of trouble before now
it had it's birth and calamity-its foster-home
was refuge from persecution. But no trouble
comparable to that which, for the last three
years, has devastated it, blaekens the track Of
It's history, and We know no man who could
have protested IT in its darkest hours with the
success crowning the devotedness OF Abraham
Lincoln.-Forney'S Press.

Thompson.

A Washington despatch of the Sth, says:
George Thompson had an interview with
President Lincoln yesterday, which was salts
factory 10 both parties In the course Of con-
versation the President said in reference to the
Emancipation Proclamation, that the paramount
idea of the Constitution was the preservation of
the Republic, and that he had never for mo-
ment doubted the right and the power of the
Executive TO issue such proclamation, when
ever II was manifest that like patients dl-
seased limb. slife" could be saved only by am
PuhIie sentiment had advanced slowly but
surely. and he had moved just as fast as it SEEM
ed 10 him he could move and be sustained
He could not have felt justified in the emanci-
nation issue until all other means OF restoring
or preserving the Republic had failed and he
had no consciousness of having transcendlng his
Dewers. Il do not see" said he, show any man
standing in my shoes could have done other
wise than I have done.
At the close of the interview he invited the
party into the State Dining Room, to see the
painting oommemorating the first reading of the

LETTER FROM OWEN LovEJo'

LETTER FROM ON IN LOFEJO1
The Boston Liberator of this week publishes
letter from the late Owen Lovejoy, addressed
to VIM. Lloyd Garrison, under date of Washing
ton, Feb. y, 1864 In this letter Mr.. Loveoy
says:
write you, although i'll health compels me
to do it by the hand ofanOther, to express to you
my qualification at the position you have taken
in reference to Mr.. Lincoln. | am satisfied, as
the old theologians used to say in regard to the
world, that if he is not the best conceivable
President, he is the best possible. have known
something of the facts inside during his admin
istration, and l know that he has been just as
radical as any of his Cabinet. And although
he does not do everything that you or | would
like the question recurs, whether 1t is likely we
can elect man who would, 1t is evident that
the great mass of Unionists prefer him for re-
election; and it seems to certain that the
Providence of God, during another term, will
grind slavery to powder. believe now that
the President is up with the average of the
House.
Recurring TO the President, there are a great
many reports concerning him which seem to be
reliable and authentic, which, after all, are not
So 1t was currently reported among the anti
slavery men of Illinois, that the Emancipation
Proclamation was extorted from him by the out
ward pressure, ana Dy Ine QeleSa-
ton from the Christian Convention that met at
Chicago Now, the fact is this, as | had it from
his own lips: lie had trriten The Proclamation
in the Summer as early as June IHink-but will
not be certain as to the precise time,-and call
ed his Cabinot together, and informed them
that he had written it, and he meant to make it.;
but wanted to read it to them for any criticism
| or remarks as to its features or details. After
having done so, Mr.. Seward suggest whether it
! would not be well for him to withhold its pub
| licaton until after we had gained some substan-
| tial advantage in the field, as at that time we
had met with many reverses, and it might be
considered a cry of despair. He told me he
thought the suggestion a wise one, and so held
onto the Proclamation until after the battle of
! Antietam.

The Boston Transcript also publishes letter
from Mr.. Loyejoy, written to Governor Andrew
on the same day with the letter to Mr.. Garrison,
and containing the following passage

PRACTICAL and the cause that it knows not it will

voice will never die All the sounds will have
died out of the sea before their hyms will cease

there is a sad sorrow, the hymn will chant on.
