! Mr.. GrNTRy said that, believing that the adop-
ton of the resolution, in its present form, would be
an insult rather than compliment to General Tay-
| lor, he would TO lay the resolution on the
| table.
The Chair decided the motion out of order.
The vote then taken by yeas and nays on
ordering the resolutions to be engrossed and read
third time, and decided as follows Yeas 1906
| nays "a.
| Mr.. GRAHAM stated that he was in favor of the
original resolutions but now, as they stood amend
ed, he considered the last part of the last amend
ment containing direct upon General
Taylor He opposed to censuring him, and
| therefore he moved to lay the resolutions, now
| amended, on the table.
The motion lost.
The previous question seconded, and the
main question ordered to be put, viz: Shall the
luton pass
The question was decided by yeas and nays as
follows Yeas l03-nays 81.
| So the resolution was passed
Thus were these insulting resolutions
passed by the political friends of Mr..
McLANE, and the partisan journals attempt
to shield him from their responsibility
because, not being member Of Congress
at the time, he did not vote for them! The
Republic is libeller of the worst kind for
venturing to tax Mr.. McLANE with the
responsibility of an outrage committed by
his party-because Mr.. McLANE himself
is not on record as participating personally
in the outrage. 1t is sgross misrepre-
sentation" to suppose that Mr.. McLANE
approved of that particular outrage, though
we are not aware that he was ever known
to differ from his party. 1t is ssdesperate,"
reckless" and a "poisoned arrow" to
say that Mr.. McLANE was prominent
among these men, and yet of these very
men he was the political friend, associate,
and ally!
There is one point developed by this in
dignant reputation of MIR. McLANE's po-
litical friends that we are glad to see. Ii
is clear enough that the Locofocos and the
Locofoco press are beginning to take a
correct view of the conduct of the Loco
foco members who immortalized them
selves by their votes on the insulting reso-
Iutions in question. We are glad to see
that the .7rguS and the Union unite in re-
cognising it as disgrace to have been in
any wise concerned in that affair. If it
( had not been that one hundred and nine of
| his copatriot Locofocos voted with him, we
should have said that Mr.. JACOB THoMP-
SON, Of Mississippi, was the only man
on that floor of the House capable Of offer
ing so gross an insult to the hero Of the
Rio Grande. If Mr.. McLASE disapproves
the conduct of Mr.. THOMPSON and his polit-
ical friends, and wishes to stand right before
the people in this matter, let him publicly
avow that disapproval. Until he does, we
shall hold him to all the responsibilities Of
his Locofoco connexion.
