The Northern Democrats were

rebel. When tbe day

of their triumph comes, If come tt did, would they not pluck the national goose together. It seemed to he denied, nearly two years after tbe roar of battle had died away, that this Is a nation. Tbe only safe haven for the country was In nationality. For ninety-four years the people have been one people, and not thirtyseven different peoples. Stale Sovereignty had been tha cause of tbe revolution of 1798 in Virginia, and 1799 In Kentucky. Hu had hoped bat dogma bad been riven In twain, like old Virginia herself. There were various con--dieting opinions about what tbe Union was. It was time to dispel some ol tho heresies on this subject. Never before had thirteen communities of three million* people, with divers interests, Institutions, end governments, flown together In such a manner. Never be-

liberty wiihout

license, a people overthrowing crowns and bringing radiance Into tbe habitations of the cruelty of tbe whole earth; tbe nation had never asserted the constitutional rights of a .State, but a party had existed to encroach upon the Interests of fftstra rights; that dogma had gone with the war. He likened toe Democrat as the man theebrlstlan saw In tbe Allegory of Banyan, with a muck rake in his hand raking up the dust and straw o'P 8'ute rights, refusing tbe crown of nationality which the one above held forth to him. Tbo act uf the ortginU .Hates In calling this new imtlon tho Unite-: Slat**, told the whole story. Nationality meant then, the soverlgnty over everything which the Judgment of the nation was of nailonal import; If aoverignty wav not their it wan no Wbore.noteven In that semblanc of natioasltty, the first oonfederatton. This principle was recognized, but with such restrictions that it couta sot exist for more than ten years. I’be present Constitution was made for no other reason than that nationalities had so smothered under reetrletlons that it could not exist. That Cunslitutlon conferred full power to protect nationality against encroachments by the States. The present attaaks of the advocates of State right* should be met la the spirit of comprehension, and to any yielding nationality no new Insurrection could arise from an adherence to the doctrine of nattonalltv, whatever may come from the doctrine of State rights. Mr. Drake went ou to argue that the government* of the doutbern States, tbe only State governments tbe nation had ever rceog. mz^d, having been overthrown by the rebels and oibrrs formed by aid of tbe rebellion had no legality; that the people of those States were without any governments, whatever, at tho downfall of tho rebellion, and that those who bad engaged In the rebellion had no right to force other* to replace them; no Senator would claim that right for them. If there was no question of political power before the country the controversy was to be laid at the doors of the D- mocratlc party. Knowing those Statea were Democratic when they went Into tbe wer, and Would be Democratic now, If allowed to reconstruct themselves, that party desired to gain tlx or seven electoral votes for i’rraldent and Vice Fresident, which would be a pretty fair stock In trade for the reconstructed Democrecy to itartwlth. Never In the history of the world was political action based on slower scale of man’s inhu-

manity to man.

Mr. Drake qnoU4 from the speech of Davis “that tbe South would have been reconstructed two years ago, If they had been left alone,” let alone to re-lnslave the negro, and set up a white man’s government. Seven year* ago Jell Davis had used the same phrase, and the devil had used it, as might he seen from the Scriptures, many years before. He quoted tbe saying* of the man having an evil spirit: "What have we to do with the Jesus of N areth, let ue alone,” and the verees comma log, "Thou, Caphornlao, which art exalted,” etc., and said it might be asked If there

The House concerning tho foreign Slates.

Mr. Chanlvr adlreined the Home In criticism of tbe bill, liking it to Niagara; the title of the bill was tbe toar, and tbe Mil Itself was tbe f*ll, and great wa* the fall thereof. Mcsar*. Boyer and Woodward also made re-

marks.

The bill then went over to the morulng hour on Tue*d*y. Mr. Blaine, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the army appropriation bill, amounting to tbirty-thiee millions, end a provision for the gradual reduction of tbe army until the-military force la reduced to twenty-five reeimeots of Infantry, seven regl. meats of cavalry, and five regiment* of artll1ery;no new commlaMon aball be Issued In any regiment, except to West I’olnt cadets, a* second lieutenants. Tbe Secretary cf War le directed to consel(date regiments as rapidly aa tha requirements of the public service and the reduction In the number of officers will permit, until the regular minimum Is received. This provision Is not to be construed to deprive sn officer having a commission of promotions wbteh may be opened to him by the occurrence of vacancies among hie •uperlor* la rank; such promotion*, however, are to be always made so as to facilitate and not to obstruct the consolidation'f regiment*. Mr.Blalue explained briefly the Itema of the bin, recapitulating as follows: For Navy, $18,. 000,000, compared with an average annual co*t of over thirteen millions In gold, under Buchanan’s sdmlnlstralion; executive, legislative, and Judicial expense*, $17,000,000; post office department, f4.ooo.000; consular and diplomatic expenses, $125,000: ordnance deparimunt, $3 000,000; West 1’oint academy, *3 900,000; miscellaneous expenses, $14,000,000—making an aggregate of $90,000,000, compared wlUi $70,000,000 In gold for like expenses ol the Govcromeot during the Oral year of Buchanan’* administration. To those ordlnary expenses were to be sdded $30,000,000 for pun-ton*, $25,000,000 for bounties, and $130,000,000 for Interest on public debt, making an aggregate of expenditure* of $275,000,000 for ihe year. This amount, Mr. Blaine stated, would be greatly reduced In fifteen years, when bountba would not have to be paid wben tbe army list would be reduced, and pen*lon* curtailed, as would rapidly be from various esuaet. Mr. R os enquired why the expenses of the Government bad not been reduceo three years ago. and why po.*tponed until tbe eiecllons were near at hand, and the dominant party were seeking a new lea*e of power. Mr. Bl aine said he did not propose to enter upon a dt*«u*kloo, now that tbe discussion could bo bad In the committee of the whole. The bill wa* referred lo tbe committee of the whole on the state of the union, aud made a * peel I order lor tbe 13 b Instant. Thu House In the committee of the whole. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, to the chair, resumed tbe conrtdei aiion ol the military academy appr iprlailoit b II.
