to read the desi gns Of these self assumed

his duty to procure supplies upon the best
possible terms to tie Government, he has
upon al. occasions given due public notice
to oil persons desiring to make proposals,
aud has always accepted the most nivan-

in disgust In the rebel House, while the
currency bill was up, he withdrew from that
body after making a frank statement of the
situation of the rebellion. He said:
"Sir, | beseach the honorable gentlemen,
on this last occasion, perhaps, that l shall
have the honor of addressing this House,
to look with me upon the present condition

What Is our situation? Let us look dan

is possible to do so. Sir, we are upon the
verge Of ruin, Congress is rapidly abandon

The policy Of the present House seems TO be
to crush out dissatisfaction by armed vio-

policy introduced and enforcedin England by
the celebrated Lord Stafford, the enforce
