Colfax, el. nl. .,
That Administration t)rgan, tii New

of the supporter's of '"Speaker' Colfax's
resolution, to . expel Representative
Long..It aays they cite. the yotesju
the House twenty years ago, for ex
pelling Joshua R. Giddings, arid pro
nounces such "citation as.; an insult.
Again they point.tp the,, expulsion of
Bright and Reed and Burnett, in the

Times avers, were not expelled for their
opinions, but, for' their acts;' ( They
Colfax and his supporters) pour vir
tuous indignation, says the Times, up
on the doctrines ef Mr. Long's speech,
as if it was Only necessary to make a
speech odious to make it punishable.
-It adds:' -. : . ..." . .. yil':
"All this piling up of patriotic ago

sue.. The question' is, whether the
freedom of debate is or is not under
any other restriction than that against
'disorderly beliaviour,' wluch is desig
nated in the "Constitution as an offense
for. which members may be punished.
It is not pretended that Mr. Long was
guilty of 'disorderly behaviour.' His
speech was perfectly calm and decor.
oil's, and from lthe beginning' to the
end he .-was not once called to ordcy by
the Speaker, whoso duty, under the
rules, it would have' been to " call him
1;b '.order,' had there been' any breach
of it. The offense was not in the be
haviour, but in the doctrine. Cun ob
noxious doctrine justify expulsioji?--That
is the ' vital point. It has -not
been inet.'7 It has been evaded."
The same journal continues its ar
gument by assuming that ,if two
thirds of either branch of Congress
have a right td expel the remaining
one-third, or any member of it for opin
ions urgedjn debate, then, pur claim,
to bo a representative Government is
a falsehood; and says:' l .-.I'
"It tho becond District of Ohio
have chosen to send, Alexander Long
to the National Congress as their Rep
rcsentativej'he has a right-to be heard
as such without intimidation or Con
straint of any kind whatsoever. His
representative character is atan end the
instant that freedom is inteiferedwith.
It is useless to say that he has abused
his representative trust.' That is a
matter of opinion, and of It. his con
stituents are the only lawful judges.'.'
Referring to the great - Amount of
GAS expended about the treasonable
character of Mr. o'ng'"s speech, par
ticularly in expressing his belief that
there are but two alternatives the ac
knowledgment of the independence of
t'he'South, or their complete extermi
nation and declaring his preference
for the former alternative, Tlie Times
says "there is no more treason in that
utterance than in the other utterance
made. again and again in. the House,
directly and indirectly, that disunion
would be preferable to a restoration of
the slave power." ' -'-;
'TliO Times is alarmed as all the
supp ortersand defenders of Colfax's
infamous resolution of, expulsion may
well be, lest a turn of tide may bring
its own party leaders under tho ban.
It gives this' warning: , 7 7 .
"What is Mr. Long's .case to-day
may, next year, .be Mr. Stevens' case,
or Mr. Conway's case, or Mr. Grin
nell's case,, or 'some other "Representa
tive's case, whose, language two-thirds
of the .body, may choose, to put down
as treasonable. - No debater in that

Something of the notoriety it had two
years - ago, , it may be well to' recall
some items of its former history: .
Fort Pillow is situated about sixty
fie miles above Memphis, on the Ten
nessee bank of the Mis.sissppu It is
oneot a series of fortifications erected
on the . Mississippi, at the commence
ment of the rebellion, for the purpose
of closing the navigation of the river.
The series consisted of Columbus Ky".,
Island Jo. 10, '; Fort Pillow, ' Fort
Wright, ..yicksbnrff and Port Hudspn,
besides various lesser fortifications at
available ; points. The fort was a
heavy 'earth workj and was named af

erecting casemates, and otherwise
making it as formidable for defense as
possible. It was erected on bluffs
one hundred and fifty feet high, and
possessed natural advantages not easi
ly surmounted by on attack from the
river. After the fall of Island No.
10 the' position ' was still ' farther
strengthened, as then that presented
the only barrier, except Fort Wright,
to the advance of the Federal fleet.

Foote,,.coromencded the bombardment
of the Fort early in April, 18G2, and
continued, with trifling interruptions,
to ''throw his missiles into the place

it, at some ' mere trifle, to avoid the
necessity of taking the oath of allegi

determined to seize all that comes
within tho range of his guns, and it is
said that he even stops it on the way

Ihey don't realize the terrible burdens that
rest upon the people, and the. tearful dangers

call themselves loval mea, , and .yet play
these uuitaslic tri ke'tr By tbeir default, the
prices ol every tbing that sustains h e ere
rapidly mounting. The currency it cradu
ally turning int worthless rgs.- Inch by
inch, foot by foot, the uofernment moves on,
straight be pre the eyts of its guaiduns, to
ward tbe . bottomless pit of bankruptcy
yet distant, but unless they act, inev.Ubk.
Kot an arm do they, yet raise to save 1U I'
tbev had but done the duty- they were put

still bo resting on its old foundations, ' They
have neither done it, nor maae any rational
effort to do 'it. It is not roisfortuae, but
guilt, that re its upon them not failure, sim
ply, but faithlessness. , . , .
It is astooishing, it is astounding, that the
House, after this long and Sagrant' n eg led
of duty, should turn upon one of ... its mem
bers in this fierce fashion for encouraging the
enemy by words by words which were
made oTair, and which if thoy had been' left
atone, would have straightway vanished into
air. It is tbe wildress of the fireman who
stands motionless while the flames are gath
ering headway, and falls ion I of the man
who declares that the fire wiH not be sub
dued.' It is tbe inaction of these so called
loyal servants of the - people that is aiding
the rebellion ten thousand times more than
tbe so called dwloyal speeches of the mal
contents' of the Hoosu. Not words, but acts
are to decide this .war. Unlaitb'ulness in
respect to tbe former shrinks into insignifi
cance; it is absolutely nothing, when meas
ured against that other unfaithfulness in act.
of which this House is every day making it-
sen guilty., ,-,-.'
Hot content with the fatal dereliction of
neglectiog indispensable' action, this body
must superadd an equally fatal positive act.
Uncati.'fjed with helping on tha the southern
rebels by depriving our Government of .the
sound credit which is its li'e, they must put
into the hands of the Northern Copperheads
a weapon of more deadty potency than they
have ever yet htodled or hope! for. llow,
is It possible for true men so to misunder
tand tho American people, as to suppose
they w"ll submit quietly to ths destruction
of free debate in the council hails of tho na
tion? : What hellebore have they drinking
in Washington that has drugged their old
perceptions.' Are we to b'j loid that Amer
ciati liberty is of the bastard Mpe t&e99 men

isnotevenwhal.it was under tbe Uniish
inontrchy, agninst the tyranny of which we
revolted.. Every A me'riciin school boy knows
thaf the language used ia Parliament against
(be Uoverntuenti in" lavor ol the American
rebels, was a hundred times ' stronger than
any that has been' used in- Congress against
our uovernment in lavor ol the southern
rbels, and that it was used with, perfect im
punity in the very face of overwhelming
fiovurnment majorities, Said' Lord Cha
tliain, in the- House of Commons, in 1777;
"II 1 were an American, as 1 am an Buplish
man, while a foreign troop was landed . in
my country, I never, would lay down my
arms never, never, never '." lias anything
like that been heard in Congress from the
sympathizers wjih out1 rebellion? - Said Foj;
there id nut an American but must reieet,
and retift the principle and the right." The
worst that Mr. hong said falls tar short o I
that.. Nothing' is gained by siyir tiat the
American rebellion wrong that Chatham's
arguments were good and Long's arguments
bad. To the strong majorities in Parlia
ment our rebellion was just as hateful, and
the necessity of supporting uovernment, in
a war already undertaken for the mainte
nance ol it, just as imperative as can be
here even with our own Congressional ma
joritiea i in respect to our own rebellion.
They did not curb the speech of tbe sympa
thizeis with our. rebellion, simply and solely
because they did not have the constitutional
power to do it. Neither does our Constitu
tion give any such power. : : ''J
We use plain language, because tbe crisis
demands it. It is na tuna for honey ad
speech, either toward men or or parties. The
cause of the country alone bas claim. We
will not took passively on while that cause
is crippled , 1 eitner ry mistaken mends or
malignant . foes.. , It is gtire of triumph if
those who are specially deputed to save it.
the leaders in the' field, the legislators and
administrators in eml li e aud tbe conductors
ol the public press through whicb publio
opinion mainly speaks, do their duty faith
fully and well. 'But if there be 'Unfaithful
ness in any of these spheres of action, untold
calamity may come. We are as sura vs of
tbe sun at mid-day that the people are not
smithed with either the 'past or present uc
tion of their Representatives in Coiigrest.;"
that among great mimhtfs ol those most
earnest in their loyalty, there is a discon
tent verging closely upon disgust This dis
content; we 'do not deplore. It coaibs
from the' very highest an.l best qualities o I
the American nture. Were it aiient, we
showld deHpair of tha causii. .- A people that
could be unmindlul of such neglect in their
