MR. RAYMoSD.-The debut made by
Henry j. Raymond in the House debate of
. yesterday established him at once as one of
the most accomplished, fertile and self
possessed deba,ers the House has ever had.
Taking conservative ground in support OF
the Presidents policy, he naturally drew
upon himself the sharp assaults Of the oppo.
nents of that policy, and these assaults and
interruptions were carried to an exten. that
showed how important has assailants fel. it
to to break him down, or at least break
down his line Of argument. That they ut.
ter|y failed, and that every interruption
seemed only to enable the speaker 10 press
his argument more couvincingly, is the
highest proof possible of Mr.. Raymonds
:: abilities in his new field.
The speech Of Mr.. Ray yn,oud was in reply
to that OF Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens on Mon
day last. The point Of Mr.. Raymond's
argument was. that the rebel ordinances Of
secession were nothing more than so MANY
expressions of purpose to go out of the
Union, and to break up the Government,
which did not succeed, and that the States
lately in revolt are therefore still in tho
Union. One point urged most conclusive
ly by Mr.. Raymond was that if secession
was success if the Southern States were
really out Of the Union, and became n
foreign power, as Mr.. Stevens claims, then
their debt becomes valid, and the United
States succeeds to the privilege of paying
it. Washington Star Of the ED.
