the beginning Of this sectional cOntrC

''I said two years ago on this foo

THREATENS SECESSION ON THE PART o.
THE NORTHWEST.
Mr.. Pendleton then uttered the fol
lowing threat, to deter the GoVernmen
from using every means within IL
reach to overthrow the rebellion, Il
deter the Government from arminl
%The people of the Northwest wer
carried away by the excitement Of Apri
and May. They believed that wal
would restore the Union,
2hey feel that the war has been pervert
kas been disregarded; that abolition anC
arbitrary power, not nnion and consti
tutional liberty, are the governing ideal
of the Administration 1heV are ig1 7RE
temper to be tg-yTed Nth. They think thes
have been deceived. They are suffering
from the death Of relatives and friends
They are longing for peace. There q
danger of reVoListioz. There Is dan0e,
that they may see no ertTicatiO1l from pres

NOT ANOTHER MAN NOR ANOTHER DOL
LAR.
Again, in the same speech, Mr.. Pen
dletOn said:
81 should be false to every duty as its
representative here; false to you my
fellow Representatives, if did not tell
you that there is an impression growing
with great rapidity upon the minds OF
the people of the Northwest, that they
have been deliberately deceiUed into this
lOd7.; that their patriotism and their love
Of country have been engaged to call
Them into the army under the pretense
that war was for the Union and the
armed crusade for the abolition Of sLG-
very. I tell you, sir, that unless this
is speedily arrested it will
become universal, it will Tipen into
and then it will be beyond
your power to get from their broad
plains ANOTHER NAN or from their
almost EXHAUSTED GOLFERS AN
OTHER DOLLAR"
What sWeeter comfort could have Mr..
pendleton given the armed traitors than
20 have stood up in his place az a Rep
of the patriotic people Of
he Great Northwest, as he did, and
ell them that his people would not fur
lish another man and that their Golfers
we're exhausted? What other encour-
Igement did the rebels want to cause
hem to persist in their wicked cOurse3
THE NAVY.
It will be remembered that under the
ID administration of Mr.. Buchanan'g Sec
etary of the Navy, Isaac Toucey, the
var ships of the Government had been
to distant parts of the world
o that they could not be used, when
he rebels made their attack on the
Iation. Mr.. TOucey accepted without
clay or inquiry the designations Of
ficers of the Navy, who were In arms
gainst the Government when tender
1g the same, and of those who sought
D resign that they might be relieved
rom the restraint imposed upon them
y their commissions on engaging in
ostility to the constituted authority of
be nation.
On the I'd of March, 1861, Mr.. Dawes,
Massachusetts, reported resolution

or, highly preiudicial to the discipline
