To Raise the KearsnrRc
Representative Geissenhaincr. OF New
Jersey. one Of the most accomplished and
public spirited Of the eastern Democrats,
is the second member on the Committee
on Naval Affairs and reported the bin

raising of the Kearsarge. lie asked unsn-
imOus consent on the passage OF the BILL
10 which objection was raised by a south
ern Democrat. An intimati0n was made
that the objection was a matter OF preiu-
dice. but this idea was instantly repudi-
ated by Mr.. Geissenhainer. who legislates
for a country and has a contempt for
petty passions and prejudices, and num-
bers too many southern gentlemen as his
friends to allow himself to be betrayed
into such narrow consideration.

THAT the raising Of the kearsarge was d

The clerical work has been done and q
