delegation. it says:
Most of the delegates espoused the Conted-

inryside, bn most Of giem remained faithful
to the end. When the end came they aban-
doned their attempted secession, laid down
their arms, and resumed their allegiance to
the Government Of the United States, and
from that time to this have been as loyal
citizens of the Union as the editor of the
Times, who is now too good, in his own con-
eeit, to sit in council with them.

Horace Maynard, Gov. Brownlow, and
the Hon. s. NJ. Arpoll, Congressman elect,
we're present ut Union celebration on the
4tb 10 Nashville. Mr.. Maynard declared
that the terms Of Congress showed mag
nanimity unparalleled in the history Of the
world. Mr.. Arnell supposed case Of the
reconstructed horse thief" and said elo
quently:
Go to your jails and penitentiaries, bring
out your horse thieves, and say, Hold
up your hands; you do solemnly swear that
henceforth aud foreveryOu will steal no more
horses-so help, you God" Go, recon-
struc.ed horse tbiefl This is paralle lel case.
Hair splitting logician, constitutional quib-
bier, are not murder and arson higher
crimes than horse stealing? Yet you say
to the criminal convicted Of the highest of
crimes: Hold up your hand; you do sol
emnly swear that you will murder no more
citizens of the United States, starve no more
OF her soldiers in Andersonvile pens, and
that you will be an Abolitionist for the bal
ance of your. days7so help yon God Go,
reconstructed traitor" Now, If the highest
OF crimes can be 30 stcorn a,ody, 70 that it
never happened, why not try that same doc.
NiIilO Vu hVioO luiSNts1 II yOu are going 10
be conciliatory, why not pardon the little
fellows? It is said that we are thirsting for
revenge. No, revenge is great mistake.
Tcere is no one being on this earth to whom
| bear malice. But do not wish my chill
dren fifty years hence to be fighting over
again this Rebellion. The position that
wise craftsmanship ought to maintain is 10
hold the Rebel element hopelessy pouerLess
until it is clothed in the right mind"
can well understand how a poor Union
ist would soiloqulze to himself, "Oh, Presi
dent Andrew johnson you peuned the
sentiment on our banner that treason ought
to be made odious'-what treason did you
heaUI We poor Unionists stood by you
when the proud danes of Nashville crossed
the street, and avoided meeting you, rs if
you were struck with the leprosy when
even the children sneered AS you passed,
because you were a Union man-we thought
YOU meant treason to the United States. -
Under your leadership we were summoned
to this figbt-did you let us in the fore front
to be crushed2" Well, we owe it to God
and ourselves that we have found out one
thing, that this Government is in the hand
ot no one man, or half dozen men. Its
foundations are in the heart of great peo.

THE UNION CAUCUS.

'H oHipA' ChOtpb'
The Union members of the Senate caucus
ed yesterday afternoon, anu agreed to recon-
mend an adjournment sine die on NJ onday,
the 23d inst They also agreed not to press
the pending bill regulating appointments to
office, preterrlng to leave that matter open
till next December
La the evening caucus Of the two houses
was held. A resolution was offered by Mr..
Washhurne OF Illinois as the opinion Of the
meeting that Congress ought to a,jpurn on
the 23d. Thaddeus Stevens moved to lay
1t on the table, and made long speech in
Watch he fierceiy denounced the policy OF
President johnson. The motion was de.
teated.
The resolution was then adopted, after
striking out a recommendation that the
House meet hereafter ut | clock. S.v.
eral speeches were made, among others one
by MIR. Sherman (Ohio), who took strong
ground against the President urged harmp
NOUS action in the ranks ofthe Union party,
and predicted a great triumph in the Fall
elections. He said, too, that he did no
believe the President could use his patron
age IN any way so as to defeat single Uuion
member Of Congress-
The Joint Committee on Adjournment
appointed at the last caucus, was of the
opinion that Congress could not finish all
tue business before it in time to adjourn on
the 23l inst. To this objection Mr.. Sher-
man replied that he had made careful
estimate of the work before both Houses,
aud was Of the opinion that between now
and the 23i inst. they hayo>ample time to
finish ALL
Notwithstanding the Republican caucus
last night, by 20 majority, expressed their
desire for an adjournment sine die on to-
morrow week, and will exert themselves to
that end, it is not certain it will take place
on the 23d, as number OF the working men
in both houses connected with Important
committees do not think so early a day
practicable, but rather about 10 days from
this time.
