We publish the following revised and extended report
OF the remarks OF Senator CLEMENS oil Alabama, dev
cred in the Senate on Wednesday last:
Mr. PREsIDESr: AS intend to vote against the
reported by the committee OF thirteen, do not
choose that their report shall 60 out to the country with
even that sanction which silence implies. The Senator
from North Carolina has asked why this committee was
raised not prepared to yield something of

because every of those with whom have been in
the habit OF acting voted for it, and rather than separate
from them yielded my judgment TO theirs But had
no expectation then that any good would result from it,
II expected il to result as ii has resulted

corrected it my Impressions erroneous what is this
report but repetition OF those resolutions! Where is
there solitary deviation from them in any vital point
From the remarks made by the senator from Kentucky,

eanestness of his manner and his known mness of pu
pose it be expected he would make any wide
departure from the plan then submitted He has not done
So He has been consistent He has abided by his ORR
gna plan, and those of who denounced it then,
support now, and claim the merit Of consistency
To do would be giving the lie direct to the decla
atoms we then made In using this word mean moth.
TO support this report would be flat contradiction Of all
our former assertions.
