MONDAY MORNING, APRIL. 18, 1864. ished, the House ol Representatives, wbicD is tbe judge ol the qualifications of iu own members, may surely expel two ol them who honestly justify tbe attempt to overthrew its authority, it i true that consent to the overthrow may not be so culpable as by force of arms to attempt it.

But under these circum- stances the moral distinction between the acts i disappears. The accessory to a murder is bamred eana.lv with tie murderer bimsell. Nor, it they are expelled, are they i punished for words spoken in drbate, but for a practical complicity with the conspiracy, which except for that speaking, could not be known. Tbe question becomes, ttieo, merely one ol But rureiy they should be expelled sr left alone. In refusing to expel and at tbe same time declaring them to be unworthy members that is, worthy of expulsion the House Btultifleg itself.

Suppose that either of the members had said upon toe floor, -I have sent arms to our Southern brethren." Tbey would be merely worda spoken in debate. But would the House content itself with voting that the gentlemen were unworthy of their seats, and then proceed, with these gentlemen still voting, to legislate lor tbe suppression of the rebellion? Now Mr. Long and Mr. Harris deliberately acquiesce in tbe overthrow of the Government as a foregone conclusion. Cad a House which really means to put down the rebelliou by force, and which has a discretionary power of expulsion by a vote of two thirds, sutler siun members to remaiirfor the sole purpose of retarding and perplexing its action lest, if they are expelled, the right of free speech should seem to be violated Tbe famous case of Mr.

Quiucy and Mr. Clay in the debate upon the war of 1812 has been cited. But Mr. Quincy, all bis bit ter vehemence, prolessed himself as devoted as Mr. Clay to the defense of the integrity of tbe country, and the maintenance of iiie Government intact.

II be bad declared bis acquiescence in the overthrow of the Government, does any body supp so that Speaker Clay would not have moved bis expulsion, and been supported by tbe common-sense of tbe whole country It is not tbe policy of the war for tbe Union, nor tbe details of its conduct, nor the corruption and weakness which they gbt declare attended it but it is tbe object of the war, namely tbe maintenance of tbe Government and the Union, wbicb Mr. Long and Mr. Harris abandon. How can they, under their oaths, continue to be members of that Government? If the President should declare that he was convinced of the impossibility of suecess, and that be would sign no more bills for the prosecution of tbe war, ought tbe bonesty of. bis conviction and tbe frankness of bis speech to save him from removal? So in lhi cae it is not a question of freedom of opinion or of speech.

We are engaged in a war which must be prosecuted or abandoned. Congress represents a people wbicb wishes it to go on. Its members swear to do all they can to promote that purpose. If any one of them says honestly, I have changed my mind, and I can not keep my oath, because I believe success to be impossible," ought be not to wish, and ought not Congress to insist, that the question be referred to his constituents Then, if he were re-elected, it would be evident that be spoke their opinion. Until then it must be assumed, in such a crisis, that he does not Aa for making them martyrs if they are expelled, and creating sympathy tor the rebellion tbrongb sympathy tor them, the case of Yallandigbam shows that loyal men need not be troubled.

We do not tee that tue action at our State Committee io memorifttiztDg for postponement can be reasonably construed to mean a repudiation of Mr. Lincoln We can not no Butninaniy dismiss the sound teasons for poatponement'on the ground that they re politicians' reasons, and not of the people.

It may be true that the people are auxious to re elect Lincoln. It is certainly true thai they are anxious to tied their candidate whether he be Lincoln or some other man. Foitticians are, after all, pretiy correct interpreters of the popular wishes, prejudices, Ac.and know a couven- tion too early called might nominate Mr. cola at tbo most unfavorable moment to ensure 1 bis success. There have been dark, gloomy months during this war, when the people have been permeated with feelings of despair and distrust of the" powers that be." We do not say that suet fueliugs were reasonable, or just, but they were at least natural, actual and irrepressible.

In those days of dejection following close upon the heels of disaster had Mr. Lincoln been a candidate for the Presi-j'tdeflcy his good qualities would have been forgotten by our impatient, irritated people, and we believe be would have been voted down. Are we sure that these melancholy are over? We fervently trust they are, but a great disaster to Grant, which is possible, would renew those days with their dreadful despondeneyT Mr, Lincoln's most devoted friends would not wish him nominated at any considerable risk of defeat, for as patriots the triumph of the loyal party must be dearer to them than the triumph of any one loyal leader. Let us not then rink the throwing away of a party triumph by a premature nomination. With all Mr.

Lincoln's virtues the people would hardly shoulder him in the hour of mislortuue, however much we might stand in need of his wise statesmanship. The month before the convention will be a month of war, and ought not to be a month of polit-cal fugling for delegates. Immediately after the convention, commence the party clamors and smugglings which will last until Novem- ber. Put the time ol the convention off until September and the agitation, both preliminary and subs- quent to the convention, would be considerably delayed, (liing devoutly to he wished, in times like these when the people's attention chould be sternly bent upon the war, and its contingent troublesome ques- tions.

Such men I cannot consider friends to this, nation." Mr. Long and Mr. Harris, The principle in the case of these gentlemen is perfectly clear. There is a vast conspiracy against tbe Union and Government of the United States.

Mr. Long and Mr, Harris are legislators sworn to support They declare frankly that they are in favor of allowing to be overthrown tor Mr. Long says that we must recognize the Confederacy, and Mr. Harris frankly "hopes that we shall not succeed in the war. Now, if these gentl -men are honest in saying so tbey confess that they can not.

For how can they legislate for tbe maintenance of what they declare Can not be maintained at all, and Ought not, in any case, to be maintained: by jforce Tbey acknowledge jthe euccesgof. the rebellion. Tbey are, practically, rebels, since tbey pronounce for tbe dissolution of tbe Union, which is all that tbe rebels wish, If they are honest, and that may be granted, why "should they not at their word?
