Mr. buh wished to put the gentleman right as
TO matter Of fact. He was nuIliher, and knew
something OF that matter.
Mr. DIXON said he had made no personal allu-
SION on the contrary ne had dlscaimed all personal
anusons;
Mr. pohi' But the gentleman cannot avoid
personal alluslon In matter OF that kind. For the
reputation and honor Of that party he did not ask
here OF the gentleman from Connecticut or any
other gentleman, an opportunity to make u vindca-
uon. The gentleman spoke Of being rescued by
Mr. Gay IL the gentleman would only take the
opportunity to consult the history Of the country,
and OF that Tune, he would see that that gallant band
OF which he (Mr. b. was one Of the youngest and
humbest, never laid down their purpose until the
odious tariff was compromised by the Congress Of
the United States Sir, they never ceased their re-
sstaDce as long az II continued in force thew never
nectcut-
Mr.. DIXON resumed. The gentleman said the v
were enabled to escape with honor in consequences
OF the compromise act.
Mr.. BURT wished 10 explain.
Mr.. DIXON declined further to yield the floor
as his time was limited. Who introduced the com.
promise, asked heS And who supported it' Was
not Henry Clay found among its foremost champ-
ons and supporersi This, he proceeded to argue,
was the only way Of escape, and Of reconciling the
difficulty; South Carolina had declared that this law
was no law; and pledged TO nullify it, General
jackson had took his stand against them. Who
should yield, Either blood must be she'd or South
Carolina must yield; ~ : -
Mr.. l. E. HOLMES. South Carolina would not
yield. .7srW ana.r. ... VI $3.50 -
Mr.. DIXON. Then jackson must have Welded
or blood have been shed. He repeated his eulogum
| on the course of Mr.. Clay in interposing with his
compromise, and avertng the disastrous conse-
quenees that threatened to follow.
Bat a somewhat different course had been taken
by them since that period. That party now existed
as free-trade party. They had not nullifed the
tariff Of 1924 tariff more odious to them than any
ever enacted except that Of 1928. They said that
Mr. Folk was tree-trade man, and they voted for
INN on that ground while the gentleman from Penn.
sylvinia, and his Secretary of State, took directly
the opposite ground (he presumed he spoke of that
party generality and sustained Mr.. Polk on the
ground that he was better tariff man than Mr..
Clay. 81
Returning from this somewhat protracted digres-
sion the subject of the tariff Mr. d. pro-
ceeded to say that he knew not what might
be the motive of the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
But he thought the country would determine that
tncy were OF n personal CharaCter-that the object
was, revenge for the infection under which the gen
teman suffered from the senator from Massaehu-
setts. If that gentleman was guilty of the charge
of feloniously abstracting the public money from
the treasury of the United States (of which he had
no belief) he should profoundly regret it, But the
gentleman from Pennsylvania must prove these
charges. He could not escape from them; he pre-
sumed he would attempt to-
Mr.. INGERSOLL-(in his seat.) Never fear.
Mr.. DIXON. suppose the gentleman from
Pennsylvania will drop the charges?
Mr.. INGERSOLL. No; will not
Mr.. DIXON. Why not
Mr.. INGERSOLL. Because will prove them.
