slider on the table.
MI. BAYLY appealed to the gentleman from Missouri

DISes) had made his exceedingly nammatory Speech in

the Presidents message be cared not which But he charged
the gentleman with Introducing personal denunciaons and TO
those personal denunciaions he (AIr. A had replied.
Mr. BAYLY said the gentleman greatly in error, as
the House would bear him testimony. Before the gentleman

which he denounced hem and spoke Of them in which
no Southern member could listen unmovcdhut for that
course OF debate, which commenced by the gentleman
from Ohio in the advocacy of the amendment of the gentleman

and not till after that, had he opened his mouth
Mr.. GlDDlNGS must set the gentleman right He did
not introduce any personal denuncaons into this debate
Mr. BAYLf reiterated his denial that be had introduced
THIS personal debate He asked the gentlemen look at their
own resolutions. Those resolutions personal him
Southern man. and to every STAKEHOLDER there They
charged with living In the habtua violation of cardinal repub

and the remarks Of the gentleman from Ohio which brought
him 10 his feet of the offensive character And
who renewed the debate TO day Was il him, (Mr b. D

manner habtualy supercous discourteous He did
not choose to vindcae bis there His

gentleman from Massachusetts, learned and, whenever
he wished to improve hem he should 20 model
ron he De-
sired lessons and lectures manners he should select the
gentleman from Massachusetts the lecturer. My
are such hope, as become a Virginia gentleman
But the gentleman from Massachusetts, another charge
referring to him personally which equally unfounded
lie has charged me with dscourtesy. Now appeal this
House, appeal to the gentlemans colleague, who
newed the debate this morning, (Mr he
received my hands any thing like discouesy appeal to
this House TO know If every occasion, when requested
did not yield the floor TO the gentleman from Massachusetts
and every other gentleman desired appeal even to
the gentleman from Ohio, Mr GIDpISGs whose course is
so constantly offensive to the South-who charges with
being menhieves, and applies other abusive ephe,s
which his imagination alone conceive Abusive his
conduct TO the South ask if have not treated him
with courtesy, and yielded the floor him for explanation
when he desired it. If have not let him say So Mr. b.
called upon any member Of the say that either

other than courtesy.
Mr.. GIDDINGS here said he would do the gentleman ius-
tce he would do all others that floor He had thought
that in the genemans first speech, delivered Monday last
him to be perona his remarks and reading his speech
reported IN the paper he considered his language
ceedngy offensive He understood IT, But to-day the
genenans course had certainly been very
wards him.
Mr. BAYLY would put the charge Of the gentleman from
Massachusetts TO the test Throwing the gentleman and bis
immediate coaduors out Of the question: who were not TO be
Judge in their cause and whom be bad not sought
TO be courteous he would appeal the whole committee and
ask any present could and be had received dis
courtesy at Mr.. BIS hands After a pause Mot one
Then what became Of the genemans charge that Mr. b. bad
been habituay supercilous and naughty Il stamped
with the unanimous dsapprobaiiOn of the House.
Again: the gentleman, in bis great desire TO place Mr. b.
in dsadvsntageous light before the country had said that
he bad auded Mr. Rchie and that Mr. Richie had
auded him. He demanded Of all gentlemen present say
whether be had used solitary expression audaory Of Mr.
R,chen any way expressive Of appreciation or applause

one What then became Of that charge Like the other,
il was stamped with universal disapprobaion.
The gentleman had affirmed that Mr. b. bad said be took
