Dlic liberty? What ,t of future hopes t insignificance of the feated, emasculated he results of one ? visions raised by THE KEYSToisnm STATE, ry, I may make some reply. At present, however, I will answer that question. The State of Illinois, I believe, is a military district; the State! of Kentncky is a military district. In my judgment, tho President has no authority, and, in my judgment, Congress has no right to confer upon the President authority to declaro a State in a condition of insurrection or rebellion. or the colonel, or the captain be supreme, or shall he be regulated and ordered by the President of the United States ? That is tho sole question. The Senator has pat it well. a single expression in a little speech which I delivered before the Senate, in which I took occasion to say that if the people of the rebellious States woald not govern themselves as States they ought to be governed as Territories. The Senator knew full well then, for I explained twice—he knows full wall now—that on this side of the Chamber; nay in this whole Chamber; nay, in this whole Worth and West; nnv, in all the loyal States in all their breadth, there is not a man among us who dreams of causing any man in the South to submit to any rule, either as to life, liberty, or property, that we ourselves do not willingly agree to yield to. Did he ever think of that? Subjugation for what? When we subjugate South Carolina, what shall we do'/ We shall compel iwl&edienco to tbo Constitution of the United States ; that is all. W hy play upon words ? We do not mean, we have never said, any more. If it be slavery that men should obey the Constitution their fathers fought for, let it be so. If it be freedom, it is freedom equally for them and for us. We propose to subjugate rebellion into loyalty; we propose to subjugate insurrection into peace ; we propose to subjugate confederate anarohy into constitutional Union liberty. The I Senator well knows that we propose no more. I ask him, I appeal to his better judgment now, what does be imagine we intend to do, if fortunately we conquer I Tennessee or South Carolina—call it "conquer," if you will, sir—what do we propose to do ? They will have their courts still; they will have their ballot boxes still; they will have their elections still; they will have their representatives upon this floor still; they will havo taxation and representation still; they will have the writ of habeas corpus still; they will have every privilege they ever had and all we desire. When the Confederate armies are scattered; when their leaders are banished from power ; when the people return to a late repentant sense of the wrong they havo done to a Government they never felt but in benignancy and blessing, then the Constitution made for all will be felt by all, like the descending rains from heaven which bless all alike. Is that subjugation? To restore what was, as it was, for the benefit of the whole country and of the whole human race, is all we desire and all we can have. in that sense. All the BUSINESS CARDS.

Bayonets are at beat illogical arguments. I am not willing, exoept an a case of sheerest necessity, ever to permit a military commander to exercise authority over life, liberty, and property. But, sir, it is a part of the law of war; you cannot carry in tho rear of your army your courts; you oannot organize juries; you cannot have trials according to the forms and ceremonial of the common law amid the clangor of arms, and somebody must enforce police regulations in a conquored or occupied district. I ask the Senator from Kentucky again, respectfully, is that unconstitutional; or if, in the nature of war, it must exist, even if there be no law passed by us to allow it, is it unconstitutional to regulate it ? That is the question, to whioh I do not think he will make a clear and distinct reply.Now, sir, I have shown him two sections of the bill, which I do not think he will repeat earnestly are unconstitutional. I do not think that he will seriously deny that it is perfectly constitutional to limit, to regulate, to control, at the same time to confer and restrain authority in the hands of military commanders. 1 think it is wise and judicious to regulate it by virtue of powers to be placcd in the hands of the President by law. Now, a few words, and a few only, as to the Senator's predictions. The Senator from Kentucky stands up here in a manly way in. opposition to what he sees is the overwhelming sentiment of the Senate, and utters reproof, malediction, and prediction combined. Well, sir, it is not every prediction that is prophecy. It is the easiest thing in the world to do; there is nothing easier, exccpt to be mistaken when we have predicted. I confess, Mr. President, that I would not have predicted three weeks ago the disasters which have overtaken our arms; and I do not think (if I were to predict now) that six months hence tho Senator will indulge in the same tone of prediction which is his favorite key now. I -would ask him what would you have us do now—a Confederate army within twenty miles of us, advancing, or threatening to j advance, to overwhelm your Government; to shake the pillars of (he Union ; to bring it around your head, if you stay here, in ruins ? Are we to stop and talk about an uprising sentiment in the North against the war ? Are we to predict evil, and retire from what we predict ? Is it not the manly part to go on as we have begun, to raise money, and levy armies, to organize them, to prepare to advance; when we do advance, to regulate that advance by all the laws and regulations that civilization and humanity will allow in time of battle ? Can we do anything more ? To talk about us stopping is idle; we will never stop. Will the Senator yield to rebellion ? Will he shrink from armed insurrection ? Will his State justify it? Will its better public opinion allow it ? Shall we send a flag of truce ? What would he have ? Or would he conduct this war so feebly, that the whole world would smile at us in derision ? What would he have ? These speeches of his, sown broadcast over the land, what clear, distinct meaning have Ihey f Are they not intend• ed for disorganization in our very midst ? Are they not intended to dull our weapons? Are they not intended to destroy our zeal ? Are they not intended to animate our enemies ?

There will be sotiie graves reeking with blood, watered by the tears of affection.

The objection certainly ought not to be that he can deolare a part of a State in insurrection and not the wholo of it.— In point of fact the Constitution of the United States, and the Congrens of the United States acting upon it, are not treating of States, but of the territory comprising the United States; and I submit ortce more to his better judgment that it cannot be unconstitutional to allow the President to declare a county or a part of a county, or a town tDr a part of a town, or a part of a State, or the whole of a State, or two States, or five States, in a condition of insurrection, if in his judgment that bo the fact.

I appeal to Senators from the Northeast, is there a man in all your States who advances upon the South with any other idea but to restore the Constitution of the United States in its spirit and its unity; I never heard that one. I believe no man indulges in any dream of inflicting there any wrong to public liberty; and I respectfully tell the Senator from Kentucky that he persistently, earnestly, I will not say willfully, misrepresents the sentiment at the North and West when he attempts to teach these doctrines to the Confederates of the South. ed/ifitietcd with Virulent and Efudsmic.

There is a state of }ublic war; none the less war because it is jrjjtod from tho other side; not the less war bccausc it is unjust; not tho loss war because it is a war of insurrection and rebellion. It is still war; and I am willing to say it is public war—public as contradistinguished from private war. What then ? Shall we carry that war on ? Is it his doty as a Senator to oarry it on ? If so, now t By armies, under oommand ; by military organization and authority, advancing to suppress insurrection and rebellion. Is that wrong? Is that unconstitutional ?—• Are we not boqnd to do, with whoever levies war against us, as wo would do if ho was a foreigner ? There is no distinction as to the uiode of carrying on war; we carry on war against an advancing army jnst the same, whether it be from Russia or from South Carolina. Will the honorable Senator tell rae it is our duty to stay here, within fifteen miles of the enemy seeking to advance upon us every hour, and talk about nice questions of constitutional construction, as to whether it is war or merely insurrection f No, sir. It is our duty to advance, if we can, to suppress insurrection ; to put down rebellion ; to dissipate the rising j to ucattflr tho enemy; and when we have done so, to preserve, in the terms of the bill, tho liberty, lives and property of tbo poople of the country, by just and fair polioc regulations. I ask the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Lane), when we took Monterey, did we not do it there ? When we took Mexico, did wo not do it there ?

The Senate having under consideration the bill to suppress insurrection and sedition, and for other purposes, Mr. Bakeii *aid: Mr. President, it has not been my fortune to participate in at any length, indeed, not to hear very much of the discussion which has been going on—more, I think, in the hands of the Senator from Kentucky than anybody else—upon all the propositions connected with this war; and, as 1 really feel as sincercly as he can an earnest desire to preserve the Constitution of 'the United States for everybody, South as well as North, I have listened for some little time past to what he has said with an earnest desire to apprehend the point of hris objection to this particular bill. And now —waiving what I thi.uk is the elegant but loose declamation in which he chooses to indulge—I would propose, with my habitual respect for him, (tor nobody is more courteous and more gentlemanly,) to ask him if he will bo kind enough to tell rae what single particular provision there is in this bill which is in violation of the Constitution of the United States, which 1 have sworn to support—one distinct, single prop, osition in the bill. Just received, a new ossnrtninjit of ?plenCliil ,fr Calt'-f. June 28,18«0. Sir, while I am predicting, I will tell yon another thing. This threat about money and men amounts to nothing. Some of the States which have been named in that connection, I know well. I know, as my friend from Illinois will bear me witness, bis own State, very well. I am sure that no temporary defeat, no momentary disaster, will swerve that State either from its allegiance to the Union, or from its determination to preservo it. It is not with us a question of money or of blood j it is a question involving considerations higher than these. When thelSenator fVom Kentucky speaks of the Pacifio, I see a*Dtber distinguished from Illinois, now worthily representing one of the States on the Pacific (Mr. McDougal) who will bear me witness that I know that State too, well.— I take tbe liberty—I know I but utter his sentiments in advance—joining with him, to say that that State, quoting from the passage the passage the gentleman himself has quoted, will be true to the Union to the last of her blood and her treasure. There may be some disaffected; there may be some few men there who would "rather rule in hell than serve in heaven." There are such men everywhere. There ire a few men there who havo left the South for the good of the South; who are perverse, violent, destructive, revolutionary, and opposed to social order. A few, bat a very few, thus formed and thus nurtured, in California and in Oregon, both persistently endeavor to oreata maintain mischief; but the great portion of our population are loyal to the coro, and in every chord of their hearts. They are offering through me—more to their own Senators every day from California, and, indeed, from Oregon —to add to the legions of thfs country, by the hundred and the thousand. They are willing' to come thousands of miles with their arms on their shoulders, at their own e*pensq, to sbare with the best offering of their heart's blood in the groat struggle of constitutional liberty. I tell tho Senator that his predictions, aorpctimes for the South, sometimes for the middle States, sometimes for the Northeast, and then wandering away in airy Visions out to the far Pacific, about the dread of our people, as for low of blood and treasure, provoking them to disloyalty, are false in sentiment, false in faoc, and false in loyalty. The Senator from Keotuoky is mistaken in them all. Fivo hundred million dollars! What thon ? Great Britain gave more than two thousand million in the great battle for constitutional liberty, which she led at one time almost single banded against the world. Five hundred thousand men ! What then? We have them; they are ours; they are tho children of the oountry. They belong to the. whole country j they are our boos, our kinsmen; and there are puny of us who will give them all up before we will abate one word of our just demand, or retreat one inch from the line which divides right from wrong.

What would havo been thought if, in another Capitol, in another Republic, in a yet more martial age, a Senator as grave, not more eloquent or dignified than the Scnatot, from Kentucky, yet with tho Roman purple flying over hia shoulders, had risen in his place, surrounded by all tho illustrations of Roman glory, and declared that advancing Hannibal was just, and that Carthage ought to be dealt with iu terms of peace? What would have been thought if, after the battle of Cannte, a Senator there had risen in bis plaoe and denounced every levy of the Roman people, every expenditure of its treasury, and every appeal to the old recollections and the old glories ? Sir, a Senator, himself learned far more than myBelf in such lore, (Mr. Fessenden,) tells me, in a voice that I am glad is audible, that he would havo been hurled from the Tarpeian rock. It is a grand commentary on the American Constitution that we permit these words to be uttered. I ask the Senator to recollect, too, what, save to send aid and comfort to the enemy, do these predictions of his amount to t Every word thus uttered falls as a note of inspiration upon every Confederate ear. Every sound thus uttered is a word (and falling from hia lips; a mighty word) of kindling and triumph to a foe that determines to advance. For me, I have no such word as a Senator to utter.— For me, nmid temporary defeat, disaster, disgrace, it seems that my duty calls me to utter another word, and that word is, bold, sudden, forward determined war, according to the laws of war, by armies, by military commanders clothed with full power, advancing with all the past glories of the Republic urging them on to conquest. I do not stop to consider whether it ia subjugation or not.' It is compnlsory obedience ; not to my will; and not to yours, sir; not to the will of any one man; nol to the #ill of any one State; but oompnlnory obedience to the Constitution of the whole oouotry.

SCRANTON Wrought, last, AX® IRON BAILING Accounts from tho Wdst represent the corn and other crops in good condition, and promising an abundant yield. The wheat has been all harvested, and the same may be said of rye, oats, and barley, and the crop of each is fully up the average. Owing to tho amqiint of grain left over from last year, we shall have an unusually large surplus this fall for exportation. In New York and the Eastern States the growing crops—potatoes and corn—are suffering from tho drought, and unless speedily relieved some damage must ensue. Up to the present time the prospect for an abundant yield has been good. MANUFACTORY I think it wag a mere play of words that the Senator indulged in when lie attempted to answer the Senator from New York. I did not understand the Senator from New York to mean anything olse substantially but this, that the Constitution deals generr ally with a state of peace, and that when war is declared it leaves the condition of public affairs to be determined by the law of war, in the country where the war exist*. 11 is true that the Constitution of the United States does adopt the laws of war as a pnrt of the instrument itself during tho continuance of the war. The Constitution doea not provide that spies shall be hung. Is it qncpnstitntional to hang a spy ? There is no provision for it in tprnas in the Constitution ; but nobody denies the right, the power, the justice. Why ? Because it is a part of the law of war. The Constitution does not provide for tho exchange of prisoners ; yet it may be done under the law of war. 1 ndecd the Constitution does not provide that a prisoner may be takeu at all; vet his captivity ia perfeetly just and constitutional. Jt,seems to me that the Senator does not, wi)l not, take that view of the subject. ; . ' ' «/ Again, Bir, when a military commander advances, as I trufet if there are no more unexpected great reverses, he will advance, through Virginia, andocoupies theoountry, there, perhaps, as here, the oivil law may be silent; there, perhaps, the civil officers may flee, as ours have been compelled to flee. What then ? If the civil law is ailent, who shall control and regulate* the conquered district ? who but the military commander ? As the Senator from Illinois has well said, shall it be done by regulation ' or without regulation ? Shall the general, O-EOBQE R.

Mr. BrkckinriDue. Very nonrly.— There are ten of them. The Senator can select which he pleases. Mr. Maker. Let mo try then, if I must generalize as the Senator does, to fDeo if I can get the scopc and meaning of this bill. It is a bill providing that the President of the Uoited Stitcs may deolare, by proclamation, in a certain given state of fact, certain territory within the United States to be in a condition of insurrection and war; which proclamation shall be extensively published within the district to which it relates. That is the first proposition. I ask him if that is unconstitutional 'C That is a plain question. Is it unconstitutional to give power to the President to declare a portion of the territory of the United States in a state of insurrection or rebellion ? He will not dare to say it in. -'Moses A.
