only on the floor of this Senate, hu by our State
Convention which is now assembled in this place.
and rought here, ! lave no doubt, 10 overawe the
the approaching election of the United States Sen
ator, that all who do not adhere to Mr.. Buchanan,
are opposed 10 Pennsylvania, her rights, her in
tercsts and her clearly ex resscd feelings. deny
the charge as broadly as il is made, and say that,
when Pennsylvania offers TO National Conven-
ton native of her soil for the first Office in the
gift Of freemen, he will be one who has been uni
form and consistent republican, with his county
in peace and in war; and not an apostate rhs,,
who has enlisted for the sake Of iucrc, and yet re.
tains all the e, ngs and preju|i which ne
ed in the prime Of manhood. And let me tll Sen.
ators now, that the democracy Of Pennsylvania
have ever preferred principles 10 men, and that
orship hos place in the hearts of her stur
dy yeomsnry.
In this unproductive and prolonged debate, into
which have been thrust by the uncallcd f,r, and
vindictive charges, which have been made against
the personal honor Of my self, and those with whom
I act, have endeavored to avoid recriminatiou o,
personalities against any of the faithful 'folo,Uers
here arrayed, but have only endeavored to stay the
hands ofdomestc persecution, and show the fount
fiom which the bitter waters have gushed that al
difficulties which have arisen in ORG zine the Sen
ate, are to DC attributed solely to Gred determi
nation, on the part of James Buchanans friends
| to permit no one to hold any Office of honor, rus
or profit, within this capitol, who would not swea
icalty to him, and to his ambitious aspirations 70
office.
They Mr.. Spesker, and not us, have rendered
! the issue--and il is, shall the reptesen atives o.
freemen I've censured and raducrd, because they
refuse TO bow the knee TO Baai, and become th,
supple tools in the hands Of bold aspirant, an,
! thus deprive themselves of those dearly cherishe,
rights, fe, dom ofthough, and freedom of opinion
On that issue I am willing to place myself beior
