now have lie pleasure 81 iaying before our
readers, speech delivered 81 him Oh tho
2Jth II against tie admission to 4 aeat III
the House 1T A w. Rabbit, aa delegate
from Utah lor Deseretl. Only ten minutes
under the rule,were allowed to debate, but
Il will be seen that orr faithful representa-.
tive made the best use OF tie shou time
allotted. Ills sonld views npon the point
directly at issue, will command the appro
baion Of the reader. We admire, too, his
mode Of dealing with the an.i.sIaveryites
who, trampling upon the provisions of the
Constitution aud doing all they can towards
the dissolution Of the Uuion, by denying to
a portion 81 those who form il, position
OF equality, are unprincirIed and unscrup
lous enough to charge Southern men with
ultraisn. This accusation i as false as it
is absurd. aud is only put forth to hide their
Iown infamous schemes. It is insniTerabIe;
and calls for the most emphatic exposure
and rebuke.
Our representative and has colleagues in
the House. aud Senator Davis, are assured
that they will be sustained by their constI
ency in the course they are pursuing. The
cant OF submissionisn fluids no favor inI
Mississippi. She is as true as the needle to
the pole to her rights, and to those who
faithfully uphold them.
