United States Senators are bound 20 re-.

But. sir, there has been an snendmsnt
tackled on u this resolution. since this
debate commenced. although the dominant
party on this floor considered them per.
ieci. and was DESTROYS Of sitting debate by
taking the question on Monday night last.
before We should adjourn. 10 fact. the
genIlsm N from Cumberland told us. he
endorsed the resolutions unqusllfedIy; in
other words. he went lhs whole figure.
by debst,ng them. however. we have
shown their advocates that they were not
quite as perfect as they supposed them to
be. for believe there have been three
very important amendments made. be-
sides the one shall now notire. The
gentleman from Northampton. .(Mr.
Bragg.) percsiving from The remarks |
made. al the opening Of this debate. The
Of passive obedience on the part of The
Senators. has endesvored to glass il over
by an amendment which, in my view,
renders its sbsurdity doubly sbsurd., la
10 10 these words: /" Provided that the
lnsiIuciinns to be given and obessj, re-
qulre not the Sensiors,o commit q vicla~
ton Of the Constitution or an act Of moral
'urip'ude." Now, cir. that there ~ss
srea q possibility .ha. the people of this
State coaid, al any utae, elect msjori,y
Of Representatives to leeisls,s for them,
Who could be so iolally devoid Of every
sense Of moral principle, or in the Ia
language. who could be so far &" moved
and seduced by the instiga,isn OF The
devil" a. to instruct the Senators TO COM
NIT violation ofthe Constitution, which !
they themselves had sworn 10 maiu,ain
in ,iolale.sor to DO an act Of moral turpi-
iude, is to nv mind. su attempt to cas-,
base reflection on the true. chivslrous
and enlightened Freemen OF The good old
North State. The gentleman from Cum.
osrland says. tina. The Wings neither sd.
nit or obey inslruclions-,hen this clau.e
be intended for the real
Sim'ns pure, sort of selro or loophole
or these slicklers for downright srrviic
ns,ructions of sha, party who call them
'slves The only true Democrats.
The gentleman From Cumberland, Mr..
Speaker. made q ysry serious charge
upon the Cabinet of General Harrison,
which a sense Of duty imperatively re-
cures that lshould notice particularly; and
which. If trse. should subject the mem
'ers Of that cabinet 10 the just execra,ion
81 every honest man Of all parties. He
'sys. that Gen. Harrisoa was besieeed,
lay and night, BY such immense sw arms
II office seekers. that he has no doub.
heir ceaseless importunites for office
fastened the old gen.lsmsn's exit from
his life. And, further. tina, many removals I
we're made AFTER bis death by forging the ,
'resIdeRt's signature. This. sir.i a very I
ericus charge, and one ~hich merits tho ,
ough investigation. Here Mr.. McRae
