The morning business was unimportant, a | motion having been made that the Committee j should sit until ten o’clock this evening, vyith a view of continuing the debate, and then adjourn I over to Monday, in order to enable the Clerk j and Speaker to open the contracts made for j public printing, which will be done to-morrow. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, upon the i : bill to increase the Army by the ten’ regiments ! of regular troops proposed by the Secretary | of War, the Military Committee and the Presi | <lent. Mr. Toombs of Ga. addressed the Commit tee in an eloquent and earnest speech upon the war, the proposed increase of the Army, and the important topics growing out ot it. Mr. T. was in favor of the citizen soldiers over the I proposed regular troops, and believed a volun- | leer corp was more .o be relied upon than any other class of troops. As for the war, he and those acting with him were in fa\or of all patriotic measures for the prosecution of this war ; but he and his friends were anxious that in carrying on the war nei ther the Constitution nor any constitutional principle should he trampled unde r loot by the Executive. As for the war, he believed it commenced wrong, but having commenced v. e were bound to bring it to a successful termina tion. i This would never be done by the manner in | which it was now prosecuted. There -not effort enough, and least of all, there v a not concentration of effort enough. There had not means sutlicient been placed in the hands of the Generals in command to give the proper direction to the war. There a waul oi vigor, but it was with the General Government here. In regard to the Institution oi Slavery, he i was ready to meet the question in the spirit ol compromise which framed this Government. If this spirit had departed from us let it be known. If the Union could not stand upon this com- ; promise, let men speak out. A lew years ago we had a class of men here who were proud of being “ Northern men with Southern priuci- j pies.” He mistrusted such men —or any man j or men indeed who would make a base couces- j sion of principle for power. There was no I truth in such men. They would abandon you when they secured your favors. He told his people how these Northern men | would turn out in the end, and they had done j j just as he had said—broken a faith which they j i could not and would not keep. In regard to Mexico, Mr. T. said he would | endeavor to persuade her to do right, and ii she did not he would make her, but he would j not take auv of her soil, and yet he would exact the payment of every dollar due us by indemnity. But let there be no robbery, nor j plunder anywhere. ! Tell Mexico what you will do now, and at I j once proceed to keep your word. lake her forts, haul down her flags, overrun the country, send 50,000 men there, seize upon the capital. If 50.000 are not enough, send 100,0? 10, and il these are not enough, send 500,000. But take with you a treaty 1 Let it be a fair one. Deal as fairly with Mexico as you would with Eng land, or, if any thing, lie a little more just in your compromises with a weak power than you would with a strong one. Treat Mexico a? least as well as you would treat England. His friend from Ohio (Mr. \ inlon) had said that the Missouri Compromise applied only to the Country acquired from Louisiana. He j believed his friend was right, but the South con ceded 100 much when it conceded the Missouri Compromise. Itgaveup much to peace, union, , concession, harmony and more than ought to have been asked or granted. Hut it did not do this through fear or any craven spirit, hut from a love of the Union. | We dc not claim Slavery, said Mr. T. under the Constitution, but by virtue of the sovereign- j ties under which we live. All the rights we got under the Constitution were that fugitives from justice should be surrendered, and even | this right lias been frittered away under con- j tcmptible factions. Men here could not with j stand the external pressure, and they therefore gave up the Constitutional principle. It was j i going or gone from us. It now became North- t j ern men to avow themselves clearly upon this [ I point. He desired no territory from Mexico as the I fruits of this war —none certainly which should 1 be the reward of an aggressive war with Mexi ! co. | Mr. Toombs also vindicated his vote in fa i vor ol’ a tax upon tea and coffee, and said that i it became necessary to impose a tax like this to j j carry on tiie war, and he was for putting the i tax where the revenue would he improved. He i was not afraid to do this. Mr. Winthrop of Mass, continued the debate ! in a speech that commanded the undivided at tention of the House. Tiie bill before the Coiu i mittee did not meet his approbation, and ho ; should not vote for it as it was, or in any form i which it was likely to assume; yet he was for the defence of the country, whatever were i»- jrightful boundaries. Whenever there was a foreign army on its ; borders or a foreign fleet in its bays he would I put forth the strong arm of the nation to defend j the country. Nor would he refuse to vote j supplies because the war might not have a just origin or be prosecuted in a manner altogether just. We were hound to defend our country, even though we could not always approve of events over which we had no control. We 1 were bound to look to the defence of our coun try first, and while doing this we were equally j bound to hold to the most rigid scrutiny the conduct of the Executive. He knew of no more unhappy event in ; the history of this government indeed than | the attempt of the Executive to stifle all inquiry and discussion. A Court of Inquiry ; was ever demanded whenever a ship was wrecked or stranded. The officer dciqauded it. The Government exacted it; and yet this Ad ministration expected and even desired to es cape all censure whatever. It expected to make war in its own way, and yet to escape com ment upon its own acts. Mr. W , would not say that Mexico was all right and we were all wrong. Bhe had done many gets that called for redress. She had not dealt fairly by our country iu the settieir t eqt of the old standing grievances. She had not re cognized or paid the claimants as she ought.— She had not shown a spirit of peace as became her, Sim had not received a Minister of Peace I when one was sent her. Sho would utjt, he feared, favorably receive from us the proposi tions of peace now before her Congress. If ho coqld speak to that intelligent gentle man, Gen, Almonte, now at the head of Mexi can Affairs, u"d soou likely to be made Presi dent of the Republic, iie would say to him, “ Do not sacrifice so much to pride—so much to lose all rather than gain anything. Why rush on to your ruin and in so certain a man ner to your destruction/” In regard to the indemnities due to our citizens, how could this Government expect that Mexico could pay what was dus us I She was an insolvent debt, or, and unless we meant to treat her as the old Roman debtors were treated, who had their bo-? dies cut up and div ided among their creditors, then we could get nothing from her. We were by this war everyday more and more depriving her of the means of paying us and we were then called upon to pay ourselves with foreign territory—-n.J the question was submitted here whether this territory should bj i free or Slave territory / 1 speak the sentiment of Massachusetts and of all New England, I i think, when I say, “we a»c resolved, so far as we have power, as far as vve have Constitu- ; j tional power, that there shall be no extension of country in which the Institution of Slavery shall exist. I do not. said Mr. W. intend to j contemplate disunion as a cure for any ofthe ills that are iu the t nion. I take* it as it ts, and will for one abide by it as it i ; . We do not desire to gain one foot of tern- I tory as the result ofthis war with Mexico. He did not believe that even the Abolitionists, though he had no right to speak for them, de- j sired any accession of territory from Mexico, j even though it should be all free territory. The Bill before the Committee lie could not ■ vote for. He did not think it would contribute i any thing towards a peace. Ifhe did he should 1 j vote for it. or almost any thing that was right I and proper in itself to secure a peace. Mr. Winthrop spoke most eloquently of the horrors of war and of the blessings of Peace, • and his speech commanded the undivided at j tentionofthe House, and of a large and brilliant audience. The debate was continued by .Ur. Tibhatts of Ky., in defence of the Missouri Compromise and the prosecution of the war, which he held to be a just war, Mr. L igou of Md., then read a long speech ; in defence ofthe war, and argued in it that the 1 provocations to the existence o! the war were I most abundant and such as justified the demand for satisfaction which had been made by our I Government. Tpou the subject of Slavery, Mr. Ligon i also argued, and to the eflect that it was ait in stitution which belonged to the people, and j should he left to themselves. The subject should not enter into the question ol new ter- , ritory in Mexico, hut left t otake its course here- j after. Mr. Long of Md. also continued the debate, and commenced an animated speech on the j duly of all men to stand by their country in lime of war. He iiad not proceeded far when he gave way to a motion to rise, and the House adjourned to meet again at 10 o’clock to-morrow. Correspondence of the Balt. Pat.—By 'Pelegraph. Washington, Jau. 9.

Mr. Long resumed the speech lie commenced yesterday on tiie bill for increasing the army. — He was decidedly eloquent —cared not who was in the Executive chair —when war existed we ought to present an undivided front in its i ' support —the people would do it. Mr. L. wanted the Tariff of’42 restored. | Mr. Ficklin followed and was opposed to the j bill. Its object, lie said, could not be carried | out. Before the enlistment could be made the I war would or ought to be ended. He preferred j raising more volunteers. Mr. Haralson next spoke, and iu the course j of his argument reflected upon the tardiness of ! Massachusetts and North Carolina in raising \ v olunteers. This brought up the representa tives from those .States and from Virginia, by ' way of explanation, when a highly entertaining , ; and amusing comedy was enacted. .Mr. Thompson of Miss., followed and made 1 a strong argument in favor ofrai dug volunteers, j Ho confined himself to the hill and spoke his j hour. At 2 o’clock the committee commenced de ciding on the amendments. Those submitted by the Committee on Military Affairs were i agreed to. Mr. Tiiunn m offered one, allowing tiie sol diers their discharge at the close ofthe war; j which was adopted. Mr. Thompson offered an amendment pro vidingthree months’ extra pay and aland boun ty for those who serve out die war and are hou -1 orably discharged. The amendment of Mr. Thompson, of Mis sis.-ippi, authoiizing the President to ujipoint | a Lieutenant-General of all the forces of the i United States, was agreed to by a vote, taken hv tellers, of 8! to (>7. .Mr. Rathbnn's substitute in favor of making the force in be raiied a volunteer one. vv is now : ! considered.
