HON. J. G. BURROWS OF MICHIGAN.
 We are under obligations to Hon. R. C. Mccormick for copy of Hoa. J. C. Bur rows great speech delivered in the House of Representative, April issh, ,on the ''Con- spirEey against the Republic" as about Co be matched out by the Democratic mem- bers m the passage ol an obnoxious Army Appropriation bill, which xas destiued to be vetoed by the president, thus thinking tnat the liItle army might be starved out and compelled t0 mgtiaize and disband. We give as specimen of this great speech, which was conclusive, correct ard to the point, his closing remarks.
 And so the order is promulgated from the ! Federal Capitol, 10 the face Of this nation. by an ex-eonfederstC soldier, to prosecute the seige until this Republic, which he and his co-cOnspirat, rs could not destroy by the sword, shall be reduced by starvation. And no sooner Is the order given than the whole Democratic party, North and South, | leap into the trenches at the raliying cry of then chosen leader, "Ife who dailies is A dastard, and he who doubts is damned. r | Thus iS the seize begun, thus is it prose euted. And sith an air Of defiance, smack ! ing lit.le of Southern denomination. We are told that "fhe issue Is laid down, the gage of battle Is delivered; lift it when you | please Be it so. and be this my answer that iI is our supremest pl4sure 10 lift it now and here, sOplause on the Republican slde ] and we ara prepared to make good The appeal. Renewed applause.
 Sir, we accept ihe challenge yen now present in no spirit Of boastfuI arrooanee. but with an unfinching pPfpose and a sublime courage, awaitinp tbe issue with The utmost confidence End composure. It Is not the first time VIC have encountered a solid South eonsS S.iring against the life of the hepaDne and although your forces may Oe somewhat augmented Dy your Northera alhes, yet l see nothing in the mere, 4Sed array 10 cause a heart to faint or cheek to blanch. Applause. As you ; failed then you will fail now. As you could not kill, you cannot starye. Did Il ever occur to you, gentlemen, that although you should withhold all supplies for the support of the Government that possibly it might yet survive? Did it ever occur to you that although you should prstract this seige until this Congress shall have died by virtue of its limitation, that possibly there would be no necessity for surrender. With hold support from the Executive; are you quite sure there will be no President Refuse 70 feed the Army are you en. tirely certain there will be no troops Deny to your Navy the means to keep ii afioat; are you certain you wlll force 1t to anchorg Withhold support from the judi ciary; is it clear there will be no courts Refuse the needed supplies for maintaining the legislative branch of the Government are you confident there will be nc Congress Why, sir, you are AS impotent to overthrow the Government by starvation as you were tC annihilate it by the sword. You may ais tress but you cannot destroy. Applause. For, let me tell you, when the time come: :he same loyal people from the same loya States who took their lives in their hand: and went forth to do battle for the defense of the RepablIc, enduring the weary march the protracted siege, the smoking hell o
 battle, and the more horrible nell of South ern prisop-pens, until from the dark wave: of reoellion they bore upon broken arm and lacerated breast the bleeding form oi the Republic and planted her feet upon the immutable rock or constitutional govern ment and civil hberty-I say from tho same States thirty millions of people, ami mated by tine same patriotism, will, wher you attempt to starve this Republic, fly tC her side at the first cry of dis tress, and there they will stand in ceaseless vigil, not witl a sword. but with sustenan ce; nor with tht implements of war. but with unmeasureC wealth; not with shotted cannon, but witt unlocked coiiers; not with bandages, bu with bountv. and he. ,dinD oypr her nros tfate form, will they succor and sustain her ministering to her necessities, until, in tn tuilness ot time, they can wrench from he throat the COW Ardly hands that clutch it and then, thrilled with new life, will sh, spring to her feet, and the very altar yol builded for her immOIaJion shall become throne upon which she shall stand, in tn majesty of her power, resceptred and re crowned, goddess of nations" Long contin ued apClaIse
