These remarks were made on the 18th instant,

pear In print until yesterday. now embrace the
earliest opportunity Of calling the attention of the
House and Of the country to them. Their charac-
ter is obvious. They were intended to be grossly
offensive. They are great violation Of the rules
Of this House, Of parliamentary decorum, as they
are Of gentemanly propnety. !, sir, can enter into

As explanatory OF this personal attack, will call
10 the notice Of the House some suggestions put
forth in late number of the Savannah Republi-
cam The editor Of that paper who understand
20 be One Of those southern gentlemen who occasion
ally uafies in the bodies Of women and children,
says Can any true patriot sanction such remarks
as those uttered by Mr.. GiippIses on the hoor OF
Congress- The time has been, when The man who
dared to utter such sentiments would have been
hooted, not only out of Congress, but out of the
society of all men Of patriotic feelings Ii would
be useless TO expel him again from the House for
the utterance Of reasonable words because he could
doubtless be returned uguin by his constituents. The
only course, therefore, s, for the members Of Con-
gress and the conductors of the press to treat him
with contempt at the Capitol, and hold him up to
the soorn Of the people throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. Though 1t may not change his
views it will destroy his influence, and deter others
from coming to his support"
