Mr. G. proceeded to speak in honor of the 9th
Congress- contrasting the energy and decision OF its
course With the waste OF time and vacillaon OF the
present, now in its fifth month without having &C
complished any thing Of importance, comparing the
eagerness of hope with which its proceedings were
watched by the Country with the alarm and conster
nation with which the action OF the present Congress
on almos, every important subject is viewed by the
Business Interests OF the whole Nation, without dis
tinction OF party. He dwet on the eagerness with
which the grea, Wing measures OF relief were hail
ed in 1912 and the general desire that they should
take effect promptly, in contrast with the hanging
back of the Loco Focos at the present time and
their general willingness to stave off the operation
OF their Sub.Treasury low Tariff 54o 40 &c. &c.
10 the latest possible moment He spoke in conclu-
sion of the United States Senate, its past services
10 the cause OF Constitutional Freedom and its pres
ent renown trusting that its character was not des
tined 10 be permanently furnished byth ostentatous
vices of Houston or the paliry bufFooneries of
Dickinson.
