hard for me to hear you denounce 1t in this way We
not better turn il over to the laws Of God and Pnyea
GRANNY "Apeed SAYS Mississippi sand we VIII so To-
gether and support the BILL" Well sir, 60" ons'
men whom had never seen before. Iii;
Mr. FOOTE. Will the gentleman allow mo 70 aSA nin
a single question Laughter.
Mr. HALE Certainly, if only question.
Mr. FOOTE. Only for question; anu very snort
one too-one perhaps, which he VIII consider very sas
factory answer. would IKE 10 Aho" whemet he
saw any dsunionists aboonss at the meeting he de-
scribes
the time that they would every thing into the back ground
that did not relate TO the passing Of the bid and therefore
ali those questions which did directly relate to the pas
sage of the bill studiously kept very far in the back
ground. The honorable Senator from Mississippi (Mr
FoorE) to think speaking of an actual meet
Ing and of individual things, whereas only speaking OF
classes This, sir, imaginary meeting, and sup
pose the Senator from Mississippi might imagine referred to
him. Sir, understand the rules of decorum and debate
better than to be thus persons did not mean any thing OF
the ssrt.
WE'LL sir saw two other old gentlemen there that don't
think met together in meeting before consulting to-
geker and all agreeing to support the bill The names OF
these two old gentemen-and there considerable
number of the family there besdesher were called
Wing" and "Democrat" Yes, s they were ooth tnee,
daughter and they agreed to lay all their differences aside
and support this bill And, sir had there been painter
there possessing the graphic powers OF deneaon OF the
Senator from Massachusetts who has just taken his seat ne
would have drawn picture which, compared with the one
he has would have made appear faint and
feeble indeed
Sir have seen all this within these last few daysnot in
this chamber of courses it is fact nevertheless and,
while such ncongruties come together to support TINS oi
say, that, my unsophisticaed tasae Is rather IN
bad for those who composed this meeting to ind fault
with the "incongruities" in opposition to this bill 30 far
as concerned, viii agree to 60 square upon the mat
ter and won't twit either sde Ieave that part Of the
subject.
Ihope however, Mr.. President, it will be considered by
the fendc Of this bill that there much to be gained by
speaking in hard terms Of the "ncongrues Of the opPos
ton see honorable gentlemen supporting this bill because
they believe it buries the infamous Wimot provso
others supporting because they believe it is mere abstrac
tion that there is nothing be gained by it that it is
altogether immatera and Improbable to talk abouit and
yet sir, they come together and support this bill for what
To give peace the country Peace 1t is adeusive hope
the most deusve that entered the sanune expectations
of the most ardent youth suppose that measure supported
by such mutual winking and blinking this can possibly
bring peace No, sir it cannot bring peace In the course
of events the the other party who support this bill if
it should pass will find that they have either cheated them
selves cheated Others This matter will be found to be
practical MATTER and not abstraction mean, that gentle
will find that instead Of bringing peace, will bring
5iscord ..a.
Now the better way understand the NATTER and the
arguments and the for which is to be supported
and the ends which proposed to be obtained by it. But
sir, 1t is different with opposition. may oppose bill
for reason and another oppose for very different
Both opponents of the measure may be honest
there be deception in such there is no con-
ceament of views, and be colluson may oppose
this bill because suppose that surrenders every thing
TO the South; Senator from Virginia may oppose on the
supposi.on that it surrendes every thing to the North
Wel sir in such there has been deception there
has been the conservatism OF the South has kept
itself aosf from the anacsm of the North There has been
COLLISION but they have each proceeded upon their nd
vdual responsibilities and upon their judgment Well,
sir, how c it What does this bill do that is to give such
great quiet How is to allay differences of feeling How
is TO bury contention How is it put stop to quarrels
What does it do Sir, it leaves every thing undone
leaves the question and if there be- as the Senator
from Kentucky has said, five gaping wounds, this bill sir,
instead onnderakng probe these wounds to the bottom,
and to end out what the difficulty f may this figure,
and do without dsrespect to any bodyhis bill adopts
pan not of probing these wounds to the bottom, but OF
applying superficial plaster the surface deceivng the
eye, but leaving all the elements Of death and puaction to
strive beneath it. It does that sir does not go to the
bottom does reach the difficulty; it only applies
plaster to the surface for moment leaving the great seat of
disease untouched by any remedy proposed. IA
Mr. President do not purpose at this hour of the day,
and in the present state Of the atmosphere to trouble the
Senate with any further remarks but was anxious to say
the opponents of this bill have been charged ncon
guies that the supporters of the certainly OBJ
noxous to the same charge #. ....
Mr.. HUNTER. Mr.. President desired to speak to this
hl and to speak large am unwilling at this late hour Of
day. ask the attention Senate and asl understand
the honorable Senator from Kentucky does not desire speak
o-morrow and have Executive business before U.S.
it be agreeable the Senate, Ivi that the further
consideration Of the bill be pospoEed until tomorrow at IL
O'Clock. u...
