ARRIOUB CHARGES AGAINST MR. VALLANDIGHAM'S LOYALTY. Mr. Hicemay, (rop.) of Pa., rose toa privileged ques ‘tion, and sent up to the Clerk the following resolution to be read: — Wheroas, The Baltimore Cii of this date contains des following pablication:—— : Doocuuxwrs Founn.—Di tend: ice fo - fed the ollce of the South newspaper, aud tHok possession vt @ number of letters written by Senators Bayard and Sa bury, of Delaware, and the notorious Vallandigham, of Ohio. ‘The documents contain touching sentiments of poor bleeding Disie, and various suggestions how the Yankees might be Thoreiore resolved, That the Committee on the Judi- ciary bo directed to inquire into the truth of the altoga- tions thoroin mado against C. L. Vallandigham, a member of this House, with power to send for persons and papers, to oxamine witnesses on oath or aflimation, and to roport thereon. Mr. Hyoxmax—I call the previons question on the reso- lution. (Cries of “No, no.”) Mr. Vaicannienam, (opp.) of Ohio—Will the gentieman withdraw Mr. Mioxway—Certainly Mr. Vatr.awpicHam—I was just waiting for an opportu: amity to call tho attention of the House to this statemen, myself, having recetved it from some source a few mo- ments ago. [do not know, of course, the motive of the gentleman (Dfr. Hickman) in bringing it in this shape Before the House, nor do I care. My purpost some time Since is just what it is now—to give prompt, direct and emphatic contradiction, a flat denial, to the infamous Statomont in that paragraph. I never wrote a line or letter upon a political subjuct to the Baltimore South, or Ww any other paper, or to any man south of Mason and Dixou’s line since thi, controversy began—never. I defy any one to prove it. It is false, infamous, slanderous, beyond enduram a man’s roputation should be at the mercy of sew employed to visit the lowest bauuts of vico to get up tems for tho local editorials of irresvonsible newspapers, 0 parade before the country libellous and s'anterous falgohoous like those, Ido not object to the controversy, Out avail myself of this opportunity—until the letters shall be produced here upon which the course taken is Dased, if there be auysuch in existence—to denounce hero as forgories. Teuter upon no defen J none. Wo have had enough of this kind of aiready I dony the duty or the right of mem| rise here and call for investigations upon irresponsible statoments like that. Tonly regret I did not have an oppor- tunity, in the beginning, and before the chairinan of the Judiciary Committee had risen here in this formal man- ner, to aak the attention of the House to the matter. I nover did this before. For tho five years that | have Deen a er of this Hovse I never rose toa personal expla: xcopt once before, and I condemn it in others, a8 unbecoming tho dignity of the House, to be so on: wod. I did intend, as members near me know, to mako first explanation in my Congressional careor. 1 giro that this matter may be fully reported in the tory, so (bat my defence may go forth with the charge mado oo this floor—the infamous statement, that [ have boon in correspondence with any one in that State uttered sontiments inconsistent with my duty, not asa momber of the House, but ns a citizen of t Btatose—ove who has taken a solemn oath to oonstitution, and which, thank God, 1 nover deviated from. | have rights, which, while God lives and I live, [ shall exorcise for myself, in this house and out of this house. for the purpose of vindicating the rights of American citizens, (ironical laughter.) Beyond that 1 have not gone. My sentiments will be found here, on the records of the house, and nowhere else, There is the repository, and foreseeing, more than a year ago—fore- seeing in tho carly part of December, the taagnitude and character of this revolution, or rebellion, in which the country was about to be plunged I resolved not to write— Abough your own mails then carried tho letters—a single y word of syllable,even before secession began, to any man in a seceded State. Now the gentlem: avails himself of this paragraph for the purpose ving dignity and importance to a charge of tMs ‘ind. Had it come in a tangible shape—had any @iitor endorsed it—there might be some shade of apology for it. But no; i¢ was found in the Tocal columns of an irresponsible ae. I know nothing of thoso otters with reference to others but myself, but ‘I doomed it duo to myself and to the House to meet this ebargo a6 I have done. 1 call the previous question. Mr mepeny o of [il.—There are members on Ahis floor who dec! that they would not vote a dollar for this war unless it was a warfare upon slavery. I de- ‘ounce these mon as traitors. They ought to be brought ‘to trial aud oxecution. Mr. Hickman—The motives which have actuated me in the matter are not to be doubted. So far as the charge ‘contained in the article in question is made against a moinber of this House, even a suspicion—an ordinary auspicion—would justify such an investigation as this resolution contemplates. But the gentleman (Mr. Val- ‘Aandi ) knows, as well as other members on this floor know, that the suspicions which have existed against im—I do vot say whether they are justified or not—are numerous, and have existed for a bens past. ft is the duty of this House to purge itself of unworthy mem- bers. | do not know whether the gentleman occupies ly or imy ly & seat On this floor, By.offering Ef resolution onty Jo not prejudice him. If hewas the most {ntimato friend I bad on earth, and accused, as ho is in the paragraph in question, I would deem it my duty, and hapa more solemnly my duty, to urge tho investiga: jon which is hore suggested. But, sir, the chargs doos come bofore usin @ fair and unquestionable shape. It appears aa an original articia in tho Waitimore CO 'ipper, end is, thorefore, presumed to editorial, or at least pdor the i@mediate supervision Of the editor, and that é NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1862. published, this government, and it is to be presumed that the ef- fects of that office are at this time in the custody of the government, or agents of the government, and that, therefore, the information communicated in this para- graph must have come through the ernment or its agents, and it is, therefore, responsible in its origin, as far as we can judge. Irefer the gentleman (Mr. Vallan- digham) as my answer to the suggestion that I was not justified in ourng oe resolution under the circum- stances, to the ‘ ual Parliamentary,” page 69, sec- tion 15. Under the head of “Examination of Witnesses ,’” common fame is a just ground for the House to proceed to inquiry, and even to accusation. This, sir, is more than common fame. I repeat, it is, so far as it appears, a direct charge by the editor of a responsible newspaper, and comes before us, we must believe, from the govern- sean or its agents, and is therefore more than common fame. Mr. VArLanpicHam—Is it not merely a local item, in which the author does not pretend to have ever seen the letter? 1 know he never did. Mr. Hickman—I don’t understand what the gentleman means by saying ‘the author never saw it,” and that he himself knows he never saw it. Who never saw it? Mr. VaLLanpiGHamM—he author of the paragrepb. Mr. Hicxman—I don’t care whether it is a local item or not, it is an original article, in a responsible newspaper, and therefore presumed to be inserted under the direct supervision of the editor, if not written by him. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM—The gentleman has ailuded to the suspicions existing in former times. Now,I desiro to know of him what he ever heard, of any specific item on which any suspicion ever rested, anything other than words spoken in this House, or made public over my own name: Mr. Hickmay—Sir, I have heard thousands. Mr. VaLanpicuam—Name a single one. ie Mr. Hickmax—I do not desire to do injustice to the gen- oman. Great confusion sprung up at this point, calling for the intervention of the Speaker. Members having taken their seats, debate was resumed. te VALLANDIGHAM—TI call upon the gentleman to specify an item. Mr. Hickman—Many. Mr. VaLLanpiGHam—Answer that question. Cries of ‘‘order,’’ ‘‘order,” and renewed confusion. Mr, VattanpigHam—I ask and demand a direct answer. Can he specify any single item? Mr. Hickmax—I will answer directly. Mr. VaLLANDIGHam—Or do more—newspaper assaults, which I have denounced over and over again on this Mr. Hickmay—I know nothing of that. I know that newspaper assaults may well exist, and that they do exist,even when denials accompany them. Mr. VaLLANpiGdaM—I kuow that; but the gentleman is not free himself. Mr. Hickman—Let the gentleman defend himself and leave me to take care of myself. Mr. Rictaxpson created considerable confusion endea- voring to again address the House, but was induced to seat himself. Mr. Hioxmax—I do not wish to put the gentleman in a false position, but I say, most distinctly, that suspicions have and do exist against the loyal faith of the gentle. man. I would not have referred to this at all if I had not been satisfied that he himself knew of the existence of these suspicions as wellas Ido. Indeed, the remarks which have fallen from him, but a few moments since, indicate that fact more clearly than I myself could indi- cate it by anything I could say, that he was in posscesion of the knowledge of the existeuce of the suspicions, for he got up wo repel them, uot confining himself to’ the terms of the accusation in the paragraph, but as against the goneral suspicions and imputations againat his cha- racter, The gentleman calls upon me to refresh my memory and give hima single instance. I will confine myself to one or two. Mr. VatLanpigaam—aAllow me to reply to them one at atime Mr. Hickman—The gentioman will have an epportunity to answer all when I conclude. I will first refer him to the Convention at Baltimore, which the gentleman at- tended, his conduct then giving rise to many suspicions— at least I heard a good many expressed. I will refer him, also, to the dinner he attended in Kentucky, given in his honor, or at least published as given in bis honor in the papers, Mr. Vats.anpicuam—Allow me to reply. Mr. Hickman—I am not done with my answer, sir. 1 refuse to yiold the floor till T fini ‘y answer. (Several membors—“That’s right.) / other things there waa aspeech made by the go. van during the July seasion, which was understood tv be a general accusation against the government, and against the party having the conduct of the war, and of this fact the gentleman cannot be ignorant. 'Is there a man, I ask, in this house—one on this side of the house at least—who has. not heard suspicions upon suspicions against the loyalty of the gentioman from Objo? I allege that it isa com- mon rumor in the NorthernStates, among all the loyal people of all the loyal States, that the gentleman is open to great suspicion, if not to direct imputation, That is my answer. Mr. VALsnpiGHam—The only specification that the gentleman has been able to point to is with regard to the dinner in Kentucky. Now, | tell him I have not the soil of Kentucky since 1852, when | accompanied the remains of that great and gallant man and patriot, Honry Clay, to his last reating place, I have partaken of no dinuer there of elaewhere or a political character since. That is my auswer to this only specification; and yet tho gentleman attempts to support that falsehood, which I hore denounce as such, by allusions of suspicion which have been afloat throughout the whole country, and which may not only be directed against me but against thousands of others in whore veins rua blood as patriotic as ever flowed since the world begau. Now, I toll the gentlemen that in yoars past I have’ heard his loyalty called in question in a mannor that would, as justly as in this cave, have callod for the intro- duction of a resolution to make inquiry into his purposes to disrupt the Union by the doctrines which be held and the opinions he expressed, for this is ‘the head and front of my offending,’ and ‘this vxteut—no more.” Thore is one other charge, whichI have before replied to. I refer to the charge that I had once uttored that tho sol- diers of the Northwest would pass over my body boforo they reached the Southern States. I denied that before, and I deny it now. The geuileman has referred to a specch mado here in debate on the 10th of July. But L defy him, sir, and I hurl deflance in his teeth, when I tel! him he may take that speech and he cannot point out one single, solitary disloyal sontence or word iu it. I neither retract one sentiment which I have uttered, nor would [ obliterate a single vote which I have given. 1 speak of the record as it will hereafter appear—indeed as it now stands on the jour- nals of this House and in the Congressional Glote. There isno other record you can get, and no act, or word or thought of mine, and never has been, in public or pri- vate, of which any patriot ought to be ashamed. Wet T am to be told now of a specch made upon this floor, under the protection of the constitution, and in the dis- charge of my solemn rights and duties under the cath £ havo taken, and tobe pointed. in addition to that, to vague rumors of suspicion which | heen charged over and over agin against, not myseil only, but thou- sands of others, And Lam told that I have been invited w Kentucky. [ have been invited to that State by as true Union men as there are thore to-day, but I did not go. I have answered as to the last and only time I stepped upon that soil. But | kaow nothing tha should prevont, thank God! any loyal and patriotic ma from visiting thatState, which has given birth to eomany patriots, orators and statesmen ot runwn. Yot that ts ali, the sum total of the charges, except this miserable false- hood which an irresponsible, unknown editer—a scaven: ger and crawler in the streets, alleys and gutters of the city of Baltimore—has seen fit to put forth im the local columns of his paper, in order that the member from Pennsylvania may come in here to make charges against a Joyal and patriotic man, who has never faltered im his devotion to the Stars and Stripes, but who hag bowel down and wore! thom in his very heart of hearts, from the time when ho first knew of them to this hour, and would vow give his life, and all that ho is or hopes to be, to see that glorious banner known and honored throughout the whole world— not a stripe erased, not a star oblitorated—again floating from one end of this United States to the other. And yet, Lam to be brought before .the gentie- man’s committee to answer to the ‘ge of being dis- I hurl back the insinuation. Bring forward some- specific, or wait until you have fouhd something I have written or something Uhave said that indicates in h my bosor ois anght but love to my country. In every sentiment I have expressed, in every volo | have given, in my whole public carer, outside of this House or since T have had the fortune to sit here, T have iad but one n ¢, that one—the good of my ori I have differed from the majority in this House, and t have differed from the party in power avd from tho adminis- tration. ‘Thank God, ! have had and have yot that right. And that is my offences, ‘That is the only crimo whereot | have been guilty. Suppose, in th ‘Thirty-sixth Congress I had seen fit to seize upon tho ‘denunciations, loud, continued aud persistent, of that member’ of the party then in po for he, too, has suffered, and he, too, onght to have ro: metmnbered in this hour that he himself has been the vic- tim of slander and persecution, or what L suppose to be sual, for will do the gentleman the justice he has not done'to me. Suppose Lhad taken paragraphs from the paper ia his own town, and brought them here, as hg has brought in charges here, which are utterly and if@ely false, But, thank God, it is not in bis power—in tho power of any man—to blast that fair fame and that reputation for loyalty which has been earned from the beginning of iy public career, and from boyhood, through the sphere in which I have acted. I then deemed it unnecessary to extend what [have tosay? | would have said nothing, wut T know this committee will fad nothing, and they will be obliged to report that nothing exists which justi- fies any suspicion of this kind; and I embrace tho opportunity of at once promptly refuting and repellin the foul assault and slander at the very throshord, an not delay week after week until your press has sounded the alarm, and until an organization can be effected for the purpose of doing that which bundreds would cladly soe done to me, as to others in years past. I put the question which was put in thé Sonate of the United States—if this had been tue criterion, if irresponsible newspaper paragraphs had been regarded as evidence of disloyalty, what would have been the fate of many in this House and in the other wing of the Capitol? Where would have been the gentleman from the district now represented by my collea, who made an assault on me the other day? ‘hore uld have been the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner)? or the other Senator from Massachusetts? or the Sanator from Now Hampshire (Mr. Hale)? Where would have beon the three Senators who, on the 7th of Fob. ruary, 1850, voted to refor, Print and consider, a petition to dissolve (he Union? Yet, Tam to be singled out, and they who have watched, and waited and prayed, from the beginning of this controversy to this hour, that they might get some slip of the tongue, some hasty word spo- ken, something written,or something that they might torture into evidence of disloyalty, now seize upon this paper—this miserable, irrespon: ible sheet—wet the press, and bring it in here to charge me with disloyalty, and attract the attention of the country. Mr. Hlicxatax-—-Whatover suspicion may havo been on- tortained against myself # & matter of no present import. ance to any person here; but if it will afford any great satisfaction to the gentieman from Ohio to recriminate tupon mo, [ an willing to contribute as far, as possible to any anjoy ment he may have by tha admission, porfoctly frank on ty part, thas Chaye ny doubt that many sug: entertained againet me. But I have borne fortitude and resignation. I have upon or deemed it necessary to vindi- cate myself. I have borne with patience, and perhaps with long suffering. Certain it is,I have never made them the subject of public complaint on my part, ee have I ever deemed it my duty to rise in House of Representatives at any time to impress any portion of the people here or at home that I was worthy of public trust and confidence. I am, therefore, if vindicated at all, vindicated by silence, and not by speech. Nor would T have any man vindicate me, or say a word in my bo- half, if any investigation were proposed into my course of life. Nor would i say anything myself until the pro- Per time came for me to answer. Nor would I have any friends of min wer peremptorily and in ad- vance, However, this isa matter of taste. This is for the gentleman from Ohio to determine what he should do. The gentleman has not treated me graciously in this matter. I suggest the opposite. I made no charge against him of any kind, light or grave. 1 have express- ed no suspicion against hun touching his loyalty or any other matter, but when examined I have answered as [ should, and as I trust I always shall. I have roferred to nothing voluntarily—nothing except under the whip and spur of the gentleman from Uhio—and except what is embraced in the article quoted in the resolution, If he has brought out more than this he has no one to blame but himself. If the fact goes to the country, as I think now it must, that suspicions are rife’ and numer- ous, and multiplied from day to day, against his royalty, let him attribute it to his own imprudence rather than to any fault of mine. Why, sir, he himself has fed more than! alludedto, He himsolf, in his rejoinder, admits the fact, in the strongest nguage, that cl been made against him time and again, and that he deemed it his duty, as soon as ho knew of the charges, to deny them. I need not specify these charges now which the gentleman admits have been made against him. They stand on the record which he himself has made. They areno part of any charge of mine. He called upon me for specifications of suspicion, and I gave him such as struck me at that moment. He went on to add to them. He piled Pelion upon Ossa; and, sir,I say, in great frankness, 1 have no unkindnesstoward the gentleman, but I declare, in all frankness, that I regarded his speech delivered in July last as most un- loyal in its character,and as unbecoming the time and place alike. I believe such was the general sentiment of the loyal men of this house. Iknew that it was under consideration at the time whother resolutions should not be offered to the House asking for his expulsion. I have read the speech, and I don’t know that I shall over read Wagain. I may perhaps in the distant future, when this war is settled, and when treason shall have received ita due reward, I may perchance take it up as a curiosity in American literature. But does not the gentleman from Ohio know furthor, that thore was a rebel camp in Ken- tucky called “Camp Vallandigham?”’ That would not seem to indicate that those rebels in Kentucky have a very high opinion of his loyalty. Mr. VaLLAnpianaM—Is there not a town ealled Hick- man, in Kentucky? Mr. Hickmax—Well, if there is, thank God it is not called atter me, (Laughter.) Does not the gentleman know perfectly weil that a rumor was spread through the newspapers that when he visited a cortain camp in Virginia the soldiers required him to leave the camp, on the ground that they suspected him of disloyalty? ‘That was their suspicion, not mine—I have expressed nono. I bave not said that I entertained any suspicion against the gent's loyalty, his honor, his integrity, hia veracity. Thavo expressed nothing. Then, again, we remember there was another charge against the gentleman from Ohio, which was that early in the spring he said that the independence of the Southern confederacy would be re- cognizved in three months, so that, taking all theso things together—the camp, the speech, tho driving out of camp, the dianer, the recognition of the Southern confederacy in throe months, and the fact of his great coincidence in opinion with Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, as videnced by his votes, a man now in the camp of the traitors—I say it is Not asto' ing that suspicions were entertained against the gentloman from Ohio. I have not said I entortainod any. Imake no charge. Now, a word upon the resolu- tion, and I have done. This resolution is a matter of jus- tice to the gentieman from Ohio, and I am astonished that he regards it in the light of acharge.. If innocent of this charge. standing against him in a newspaper, what better opportunity can he have afforded to vindi- cate himself? Ought not he to have asked: an investiga- tion himself? I think he should. It has been presented in no spirit of unkindness—far from it. It has been done from a spirit of duty, which I believed devolved upon meas a member of the Judiciary Committees. But the gentleman here to-day having expressed more loyal sentiments by far than any I have before heard expressed by him, I am willing that the fact of his protestation should go to the country, and let him stand as he does for the present. I will, therefore, withdraw the resolution. THE ILLUMINATION. Mr. Tray reported a resolution which waa amended, appropriating one thousand dollars to dofray the expenses of the illumination for Saturday night next, February 22. Mr. Wickuirrx announced the capture of Genoral Price and the whole of his staff. (Round after round of ap- Plause followea this statement. ) SPERCH OF MR. SPAULDING ON THE TREASURY NOTE BU. ‘Tho House went into committee on the Senate's amend- ment to the United States Treasury Note Will. Mr. SeavipinG, (rep.) of N. ¥., said—TRe Troasury Note bill, as reported from the Committee of Ways and Moans as a necessary war measure, was simpie and por- spicuous in its terms, and easily understood. It was so plain that everybody could understand:that it authorized the issue of $150,000,000 of logal tonder Treasury notes, tocirculate as a national currency in all parts of the United States, and that they might at any time be funded in six por cont twenty years’ bonds. Nearly every amend- ment to it since that time has rendered it_ more complox and difficult of execution, I regret to say that some of the amendments in the Senate rendor tho bill incon gruous, and tond to defeat its great object, namely, to prevent forcing the government to sell its bonds on the market to the highest bidder, It might be vory pleasant tor the holders of the seven-thirty treasury notes and six per cent bonds to receive their interest in coia sem annually, but very disastrous to the government to soll its bouds at ruinous rates of discount every six monthy to pay them gold and si while they pay only Treasury notes to tho soldier, sailor, and ail other credivors of the government | am opposed to all these ameudmonts of tho Senate which make upjust discriminations between the creditors of the governn . Asoldier or sailor that performs sorvice in tho arty or navy is a creditor of the goverment. The maa who sells food, clothing and the matorial of war, for the use of the army or navy, ia a creditor of the governmeut. The capitalist who holds your seven and three-tenths Treasury notes, or your six yer cont coupon bonds ia a creditor of the govornment, Au editors of the government on an equal footing, and all are equally entitled to their pay in gold and silver. Lam opposed to all these amendments of the Senate which discriminate in favor of the rich holders: of bonds and netes, by compelling the government to go into the streets every six months to sell bonds at the “market price” to purchase gold and silver in order to pay tho interest ‘in coin’ to the capitalists who now hoid United States stocks and Treasury notes heretofore issued, or that may hold bonds and notes hereafter to be issued, while ali othor persons in the United States: (ineluding the army and navy and ail who supply them food and clothing) are compelled to receive legal tender ‘Treasury notes in payment of demands them Crom the government, Why make this discrimination? Who asks to have one class of creditors placed upon a bet ter footing than avathor class’ Do the people of New Pngland, the Middle States, and the people of the West and the Northwest, or anywhere ose ia the rural districts, ask to have any such discrimination made in their favor? Does the sot dier, the farmor, the mechanic or the merchant ask ty have any such discrimination in his favor? No sir, ne such unjust preference is asked for by this class, of men, ‘They ask tor the legal tender note bill, pure and simple. ‘They ask for a national currency which shall be of oqual value in all parts of the country. ‘They want a currency that «hall pass from baud to hand in every State, county, town and village in the United States. They want acurreucy secured by adoquate tax ation uipon the whole property of the country, which will pay the soldier, the farmer, the mechanic ond the banker alike for all debts due. ‘They ask that (he gov ernment shall atand upon its own responsibility, its own rights, and exort its vast powers, preserve its own credit aud carry us safely through this gigantic rebellion in the shortest time and with the lewst possible sa. crifice. They intend to food ail the bi and ulti- mately pay the whole mint, principal and interest, in gold and silver, Who, then, is it thatasksto have a preference given to them over our creditors. of the government? Sir, it is a very respectable class of gentiomen, but a class of men that ace very sharp in all money transactions.

Yes,sit, entirety willing to joan money on these terms Safe, no hazard , secure and the intorest payable in cc Who would ‘not ba wil. ling to. loan money on stich terms? Sir, the logal tender Treasury Note bill was totended to avoid all such Ananciering and protect the government and people who pay the taxes from alt such bard byr gains. It was intended as a shield in the hands'of the patriotic people of the country against all forced sates of bonds and all extravagant rates of interest. The logal tonder note iil is @ great measure of equality It p acurrency for the people which is based upon the good faith of the and all their taxable property. All aro obliged to receive and pass it as money , and ali are obliged to submit to heavy taxation to provide for its ultimate redemption in gold and silver. Every attempt on the part of any class of citizens to create distinctions and secure a legal preference mars the simplicity and success of the whole plan. ‘The vory dis- crimination ed carries on its face notice to every the notes are declared to be ‘lawful body that, althou money, and a legal tonder im the payment of all debts," Yot tliat there is something of higher value, that must ho asacrifice to the government, to pay a u not appear well on the face of the bill. It is an tinjuct dieerimination which doos not well now, and will not look wellin history, It will deprociate, by your own acts, your own bonds and notes,and effectually destroy the symmetry and harmonious working of the whole pian. Lam unable to see any good reason for do- parting in this case from tho usual practice of the gov. ernment in expressing the mode of paying the interest ‘All bonds aud Treasury notes heretofore issued are pay. able generally without specifying that either tho principal oF interest shall be paid in coin, and yet the legal effect is the same. Tdonot see why we should now, in the present embarrassed condition of the government, give any preferones to its creditors. The capitalist who holds your bonds, of 7210 Treasury notes, i9 net entitled to any proferouce over tig soldigr gt the wan that furoisties: supplies to your army. You compel the soldier, the far” mer and the mechanic to receive your Treasury notes in payment for services, supplies and materials; then why pot compel the capitalist them in the same manner for what you 01 Is one citizon, owing allegiance to the government, any better than another citizen? Are not the rights and duties of all on the same f¢ ? Is the rick man better entitled to have his interest im gold and silver on his accumulated capital than the poor man for his demand against the government for services, supplies and mate- rials for your army and navy? I consider all loyal men as equal and all entitled to the same kind of pay. Oue loyal man, in the eye of the law, ought to be considered just as good as any other loyal man. Then why make ‘any discrimination? Why give one class of citizens # preference in payment over another? A discrimination of this kind will create distrust, itis likea debtor in failing circumstances giving a preference to one class of creditors over another, It always operates unfavorably, and ought not to be countenanced, and never is favored by courts of justice, and such preference only enforced whon logaily necessary. All preferences of this kind are odious, and in their practical working operate unfavorably. Jt has a tendency to array one clasa of our people against another class. It subjects the government to the necessity of submitting to heavy di counts on the sale of its bonds. It depreciates our own bonds and notes, and tends to embarrass the government in all its nancial operations, At the extrasession in July ‘wo passed two vory itnportant bills, one to borrow $250,- 000,000, for which bonds and notes were to be issue: and’ the other to call into service 500,000 volunteers, and pay the common soldiers thirteen dollars per month and the officers a higher fixed compensation. Both bills were war moasures—both were necessary—and action been had under both. Under the first bill the associated banks of New York, Boston and Philadelphia took $100,- 000,000 of the 7 3-10 three year Treasury notes at par, and $50,000,000 twenty years six per cent bonds at a discount of 10 2-3 per cent discount from their face, say net $44,661,230°97, being a loss of 1° 661 97 on this transaction. This ie = higher rate of interest than our government, with all its immense power and resources, ought to pay; but the loan has ‘been made, and I only refer to it now for the purpose of showing what has been done under these acts of Congress. Under the Army bill 500,000 volunteers have been rallied into the service, and are now in the feld. Under both of these bills adebt has been created against the govern- ment. The associated banks of New York, Boston and Philadelphia are creditors of the government to the ex- tent of $150,000,000. The 500,000 volunteer army are also creditors of the goverument, We owe them both, and both are creditors under the laws passed at the extra session, Are not both classes of those creditors on the same footing? Aretho bankers entitied to any proference over the volunteer army’ Is the banker’s money any more sacred than the services of the soldier in battle, on guard, or in the tented fleld. I cannot seo that the banker 13 entitled to any preference over the soldier under these two laws of Congress; and yet if you concur in these hard me amendments of the Senate you will compel the soldier to take legal tender Treasury notes in pay- ment for his thirteen dollars por month, which you agreed to pay bim, while you pay the banker his high rate of interest semi-annually in gold and silver 1s this right? Will this be meting out just and equal laws to the loyal citizens of this government? What will your army say to an arrangement of this kind? Sir, I cannot consent tv any such discrimination, no suebamendments, no xguch injustice. We are fighting for our nationality, and the great fundamental principles of liberty anc equality upon which our government resty, We m have the Mississippi, from its sources to ite mouth cannot be cut iv two; and I am wholly unable to-diseover a dividing line between the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. Our nationality and our present torritorial jurts- diction, from the Atiantic to the Pacific, must be pro- served. We have been forced into this torrible war by uncontrollable ambition, and treason of the blackest kind. It is costing us thousands of valuable lives and untold millious. We have accopted the issue prosented by ambitiors men and traitors, We must go forward; we cannot go back. Success, regardless of cost, will establish the-strength and perpetuity of our govern- mont; defeat, will bedeath. It ia to be hoped that this will be ashort war. Itis very desirable that it should be pressed on with tho utmost vigor, and be brought to a speedy and successful:'termination. ‘God grant thnt this may be the issue. Lhawe no expectation, however, Laat the authority of the United States governmont will bo respected aud enforced in all the Southorn States for many years, [ think the rebols are desperate aud detor- mined, and will never submit to the constitution and: laws until compelled to do-se by armed force. They may be beaten and comrpetlod to: tall back; but until Union governments are successfully established in all the Southern States the laws of the United States will not be respected, aud can only be enforced by the army and pavy in actual oocupation of the rebellions States, ‘This will require a largo and oxponsive army for many years, the: total expense of which cannot now be estimated. ‘In any event I look for a very large public debt that will accumulate with great ra- pidity. It will amount to $650,000.00 in. five months trom thin time; $1,200,000,000 by July 1, 1863, and $1,800,000,000 by July 1, 1864. ‘Tho intorest on this jt debt will severely tax the energies and resources of our | people. All needless expendiaires must be cutolf—all extravagant rates of interest must be avoided... We must onforce rigid economy and strict accountability. on tho, part of all public officers. It is our duty toguard the ‘Treasury in every way consistent with the vigorous pro- secution ofthe war. Suppose the public debt to amount to $1,000,000,000 in ono year from this time.

The factthat- you create, by: your own bill, this large demand for gold will tend to greatly enhance the prico, Banks and brokers will hoard it for the express purrose of selling it every aix months totho government a high rate. Does any gentleman on this floor believe t.at with this large domand for gold, ; (by the invidious discrimination contained in the ‘3 amondmont, that our bonds will not fall dowa to ad perhaps to seventy-live cents on the dotiar, ta asnect in which you view this hard money provision its practical workings will.be disastrous, It would be ail very well if the: amount was small and applied to carrying on the government on a poace foot- ing; but in carrying on tho government at this time the magnitude of the expenditures are 80 ovet- whelming that all theories applicable to peace must give way to the inoxorable necessities: that aro-upon us in the prosecution of this war. Look upon your long line of olfensive operations, extending from Kansas to this capital, and thence to ‘Fortress Monroo, ILatteras, Beaufort, Key West, Pensacola and Ship Island—« distance of more than four thousand: miles. This very long lino of military operations cannot be maintainod ex- copt at an enormous expense for transportation, supplies and materials of war. One million and six hundred thou. sand dollars does not cover the daily expenditures. Peace thoories of finance must give way to what 16 practicable to be done in the present exigency. The government is at this momont in the situation of a mer- chant that bas overtraded, who owes more than he has the present means of paying. He may be compelled to stop payment in specic when ho has ample asset#tocover ali his liabilities. A mere suspension of specie payments does not iipiy bankruptcy or insolvency. Just so with the govornment in her preseut perii. We have no money, bat we have vast resources ix property, enterprise, energy munitions and materials of war. Wo aro the richest nation in the world, in proportion to our popula. tion, The country is fyll of the means of subsistence. All the Western graparies and warehouses are full of cosa, wheat, pork and boa, waiting fora market, some of which has lain there for over a year. Kvery year our country grows more populous; every. year it grows ric a new fields aro opened to the plow. ‘The earth is fultrol gold, silver, iron, copper, coat and other minerals, which are worked by the nist enterprising miners the world ever saw. Allthese advantages are in the hands ofa sagacious, Inventive wad industries peaple, who know how to obtain from these and other sources more wealth than any other raco Wo should impose annually not iews than $169,000, direct taxes excise and inter- nal duties, npon this vast material wealth of the: coun. try.

Our country and goverument, at all hazards, must be preserved. To accomplish this our plan ot financo must be simple and practical. As has beew shown, woe hawe various doscriptions of property in abundance. We bave not the money to meet the sudden demands that are upon us.

ALBANY, Fob. 19, 1852. The session of the Committee on the Broadway Ral- road was held this morning inthe Assembly Library, and after settling the question that furthor time shoulg be given for argument, Mr, Haight made the following Statistical statement :— Tho Sixth Avenue Railroad employs fifty-five cara, and its daily receipts are one thousand dollars. That would give 20,000 passengers, the'fare being five couts per pas- Senger. It is stated by the stage interests that 75,000 Passengers are carried through Broadway every day; at that rate it would take two-hundred cars to accommodate the travel. The length of the line asked for under this bill is five miles. Ono hundred:cars would, therefore, be obliged to leave each end of the line evory hour; that would be acar every three:fourthe of a minute. The cars wouid be obliged to pass eacky other every twenty ‘seconds, Mr. Tracy asked if these statements could bo corrobo. rated by ollicial records, and if 9; ye desired that thoy ‘should be, Mr. Haight roplied that they would a a future day place in the hands of the committee Tull an@ complete ro~ cords that would substantiate them all. Mr. Wood then concluded his remarks commenced last evening. He held that inasmuch as one’ car would ac- commodate as many persons as thiree omnibuses, cer- tainly that fact would not increase the obstsuctions to thatstroet. The Legislature could nov compel the city to sell this graut for stipnlated sum. The bill proposed @ compensation to the city: and’such pro- porty holders as had titles to any portion of the atroet, to bo ascertained and allowed by commission appointed in a logal way, and to pay the stage interests.in hard dollars in full for their property. If the opponents wouldigive the amount that the incorporators would havo to pay the city for the right of way, the property holders and stage interests, and the cost of construction, he would have no objection to placing that amount-in the Dill ag the capital of the company. Since allusion had been mado to champagne dinners, &c., he would read a private circular showing that somebody olxe must have doue some thing besides the friends of this bill. The circular was one cistributed by cortain gentlemen t2 raise money to pre: vont a road being constructed in Broadway. It was.in printed form, and the following is a correct copy:— Ata meeting of the property owners, held at the St. Nicho- las Hotel on Monday, March: 25, Is6l,the following, geutie- inen were appointed as an exectitive committee to prevent the construction of a railroad in said street:—Messrs, A. T. » Matthew Morgan, Peter Lorillard, Peter Giduey, rooks, Edwin Hoyt, Nicholas Ludlow, John J. Astor, dr., D. Henry Haight and James R. Whitney: Th order to defray the expenses incurred last winter in defeating ihe project of a railroad in Broadway, the com mittee have concluded to make a small assexsment on each lot on said’ street pro rata according to its as sessed value for taxation. This assessment the com- mittee deem to be the most equitable in order (o pre. vent the burthen from falling upon a few, as heretofore. ‘The assessment is twenty-five cents on every one thousand detlars (5c. on every $1,000) of appraised valuc, and the committee earnestly desire the property owners to respond. ‘The above commitiee have, theretore, assessed upon your property, Nos. 186 and 157’ Broadway, the amalt aum of 1 25, which you will p send to No. 57 William street, ant oblige, K. ANTIU Naw Youk, March 24, 1961. ‘The reading of this circular caused quite a sensation. Mr. Wood added that if these gentlemen had ex; led al Albany all of the sums that assessments on Broadway property would amount to, there must have been somo- Ubing eise done than giving champagne dinners. Hr. Haight replied that projects for railroads had been argued in the courts, and bad cost a large sum. It had hitherto been borne by a few persons, and this course was: adopted to remunerate those who had expended their moucy, a8 ho considered they bada right todo. There had bec a large amount ot , on tho original grant and the parallel roads, which somebody had to pay for. Mn. Wood said he thougist the cirowtar oxplained itself. With tnis the argument for tho day closed, and further hearing was put down for next week, on Thursday. iu tho meantime Brady romaains in scatu quo ‘The Military Committoo repartod this morning the Dill for the reorganization of the militia of the State, referrod to in my despatch in Sunday's Heeany.

He atated that although he admitted that ho brought from five toseven thousand dollars here with him, lie took it ail back except what he expended for his ordin ary oxpenses, and when they questioned him in regard to his speech in tho Board of Aldermen , ho put bimseif on his dignity, and claimed his priviloge of not answering on tho ground that ho could not be quostioned elsowhero for words apoken in debate in the Board of Aldermou. The committee thought, howevor, that hia privilege did not Doneiit him any, for he had mado his statement under oath in regard to the mattor before he claimed his privilege, and left Mr. Brady before the public eithor in the position of sianderor while in the Board of Aldor. men, or @ perjured man in his testimony before tho committee.
