Mr.. Bayne, of Pa, I now ask for leave to
move that the names be reported to the

verses have threatened, but our
flag Is still there, waving above
the mansion Of the Presidency, not
o stain on its folds, not,a cloud on Its glory.
Whether 1t tShallmaintain that grand ascen-
dency depends upon the action Of this great
council. With bated breath, nation awaits
the result. On it are fixed the eyes Of
twenty millions of Republican frecmen in
the North, and on 1t, or to 1t, rather, are

Political conditions are changed since
the accession Of. the Republican
party to power. Tho mighty issues Of strug-
Cling freedom and bleeding humanity which
convulsed the continent and aroused the
republic, rallied, united, and inspired the
forces Of patriotism, and the forces of hu.
manity in one consolidated phalanx. Thess
great issues have ceased their contentious.
The subordinate issues resulting therefrom
are settled and buried away with the dead
isIues Of the past. The arms Of the
solid South are against US; not an
electoral gun can be expected from that sec'
tion. II triumph come, the Republican
States Of the North must furnish the con,
quering battalions-from the farm, the anvil,
the loom, from the mine, the workshop, and
the desk, from the hut OF the trapper on the
snowy Sierra, from the hut Of the fisherman
on the banks.of the Hudson. The Northern
States must furnish these conquering battal.
