made by Mr. Seward.
After some remarks by Mr.. King, in opposition
to Mr. Bsldwins propOsition,-
Mr. HALE replied to Mr. Cass. He thought the

sire that Mr. Hale would give to those Northern
men who were in favor Of the bill little rest, and
not go continually repeat his lecture to them warn
ing them Of the consequences OF the course they
were pursuing.

or made any alusion Of that character. He had

own conscience, and not attempt to regulate that
Of others.

Senator had conscience-lgreat laughter and If
