WAsmNGToN June II, 1871.
The lntelligencer of this morning, in giving a
sketch of the debate of yesterday upon the proprcy
of the previous question on MIR STUARTs proposition,
notices my request, that report OF my reply to Mr.
MARSHALL should be postponed in order that II might
be accurate Before proceed to give an accurate re-
port of that reply permit To say that the report OF
my reply to Mr. STUART is very Inaccurate and In
complete that Mr.. MaRsHALL's remarks not &C
curaey reported and tina, the sketch of the debate in
that part between Mr.. SrANl.y and myself very in
correct. Mr.. STANLy called me his personal, not his
POLITICAL friend for, he said, after the gentle
mans declaration a few minutes since (aluding to
the reply to Mr.. MARsHAIL,) | do not recognise him
political friend lie said dlscalm him =
NV reply to MIR. STANLY was, have not to do that
in respect To the gentleman for have claimed
him politically" He then said he had cxcommunlca-
ted me first.
Now my reply to Mr.. MARSHAL this The
gentleman told us the other day that he accused
at home of being aboonis Let no one he sur
prised then al his calling me ultra on this subject
Again, sir, he accuses some gentlemen OF the bad mo
tive to make confusion in our proceedings from the
evidence of having changed their votes. This can
not apply TO me, for have at no time ever changed
my vote But, sir, the gentleman should have been
cautious in laying this trap for the eonsciences OF
Others for by the evidence he may be caught IN
his trap The gentleman changed his vote. -
Here Mr.. MARSHAL explained by saying that he al
uded to those gentlemen who, after giving their vote
on one side of the question changed to the other
Mr. WISE proceeded. Now, SIR, IT so happened
there were gentlemen on both sides who did this We
~ thing and the gentleman himself after voting for
my proposition at the beginning changed in forty eight
hours, and now, as consider, in opposition TO his
first vote. But sir did not intend TO notice these
points OF the gentlcmans remarks there is something
else Of more Importance which tie gentleman said
and which desire TO notice. He said that the pre-
sent President ofthe United States elected by The
act of God not by The uoice Of The People; not, at
least by his constituents; that Kentucky voted for
Old TIP All sir, does kentucky look with jaun
diced eye upon the present President of the United
States Sir il was who said that the present Pre-
sdent of the United States elected 10y the Constr
tuition by the voice OF the People and by the act 81
God, which no amented more than he dld -
any envy his position and his power or, inc
gentleman said, II there be any gentleman h'ie
who for any purpose desires 10 become the great ecn
ofmschicf BY falling back and becoming the 'eap
er Of the enemy to create confusion, he ongh' 70 "
counteracted and put down And now, SIR, lnrep'y,
have to say that il there be any gentlemen conpned
