from thai disIrict, whom he greatly admired end
respected, was opposed 10 il, and thai he was sup
ported by the people there. But the Senator was
popular man. and il was his impression that the
question had not been discussed. At all events,
he was sure the other liver counties Were sound
on this subject. They had learned by experience
that the support of such laws as the law Of 1888,
aud the discussion of emancipation Doctrines en-
couroged northern fanatics 10 come and steal away
their negroes.
Mr.. Hobbs could accept no compliments al the
Expense of his constituents; and he would be uii-
worthy the seat he occupied he didnot indignant
~ repel such Islander upon the citizens of Lou
syille, as had Just been uttered, whether IL came
by original remark or by quotation. What had Lou
isyile done, whaI had she failed 10 do-ihat she
should be thus assailedi The sentiment which
the Senator had quoted, ascribed 10 her 0 meen,
enoble spirit. She had never shown such a spirit
The gentleman could exhibit no evidence Of any
such spirit. The gentleman had passed high en-
comium upon niuekians;--whenh ad Louisville
failed 10 contribute her full share 10 whatever
made the name honorable! Whether upon the
battle field OF in the walks of peace. her citizens
had done full as much any others, 10 increase
the prosperity and glory of the State.
The committee then rose and reported the bill
10 the Senate.
