Speech by Mr. Cushing in Mr.. Arnods Of the

way ef nducemeni he didn't promise much. What
give you is exactly the substance of the remarkable
part Of the speech. The House received all sides with
gratifying derson these daring shameless avowals;
which, however calculated missed their aim and excited
unmingled disgust and Mr. Cushing has made the
mistake of extremely progote people, who usual
y fancy when they have parted with the last bit con-
science and shame that all other virtue has ex-
tinct, because they themselves have left.
