Mr. SMITH. If you will keep quiet a moment I will tell you. I remember very well a beautiful alle cry in the Bible, which I have referred to be ore on another occasion and in a different place. It was when, under the administration of that rest and wisest of men, a long time in the ast Solomon, 9. harlot stole the child of a kin and affectionate mother and claimed it as her own, or kept it to secure a large bounty for its return. The claim of the legitimate mother to the child had no effectupon the harlot. Distressed, heart broken, and troubled beyond endurance almost, the mother appealed to Solomon for redress and the return of her child. He ordered both women and the child before him, and after hearing both he directed the child to be cut in twain and the one halfto be given to the har lot and the other half to the woman the true mother. “Well, ” said the harlot “I agree; I am satisfied; let the child be divided.” “No, ” said the mother; “that is my child; I have etted it on my knee, I have nursed it at my osom; tis art of my bone and flesh, and I love it as I do in life; do not kill it, do not destroy it; let the arlot have it, but save it.” Solomon said, “Thou art the mother, take thy child.” The Government of the U.S. is our mother; harlots North and South have attempted to destroy the child of the Government, the Constitution and the Union. It was proclaimed in the South, “Let the Union slide;” it was echoed back from the North, “Letthe Union slide.” They said, divide the Union; the attempted it. A long war was prosecuted orthis lvision, but it falled. The wisdom, energy, and patriotism of the people said “ No, we will make sacrifices of blood and treasure and the great institution of slavery; but defend, save, and let live the union of the States.” These harlots cry today, the Union is dissolved, it is dissevered and gone; the sac rifice made, the destruction of slavery, is not enough; let the child be divided. Their followers, but few in number it is to be hoped, however, say, “Let the Union slide;” but the rty to which I belong, the great party of the Yiliinn, say “No; we love the Union; it gives as life, protection, homes, plenty, liberty, individual freedom, and by the Eternal it shall be preserved.” New, hope the gentleman understands to which party I belong. The hour of half past 4 oclock p.m. having arrived, the House, pursuant to order, took a recess until half past 7 oclock p. m. EVENING SESSION. The House reassembled at half past 7 oclock p.m..
