Mr.. DOWNS As the honorable senator from South
Carolina has spoken Of Mr. Livingston a federast,

think very strange that anybody should have thought
him federast. thought his democracy was 80 well
known that there could be no question about it, |
thought his writings the alien and sedtion law were
such that there could not be doubt about il believe

that every schooboy ussd 10 be familiar with the
speeches that Edward Livingston made against The alien

Mr. HALE / rise for the purpose Of saying to the
Senate that have listened 10 this debate this mornng
with feelings different from those which have had on
listening to anything which has taken place in the Senate
heretofore. Ii makes me doubt everything, that had
supposed the truth Of history, that took place little
while ago Il Is my Practice as often as once day at
count OF the prominent events that had taken place here
had written home last evening that the great healing
bill that was e cure the FIVE gaping wounds of the

had passed BY IA majority Well sir. sent thar home
that has gone BY mail When came into The Senate
this morning, the presiding officer suggested that the
journal was so very long-something like 100 pages,
and great part of il yeas and nayst would be best 70
pass i over moved to dispense with the reading ofit
the journal reads upon that subject should like to
know II we did. by majority OF IA, order this bill to its
third reading upon the yeas and nays That is the inn
preston very strongly fixed upon my mind; and II Is
equally strong upon my mind that voted against the

any hopes that the vctors would their success with
moderation came up 10 the Senate chamber this morn

upon the senator from Maryland the defeat OF bill
which we passed yesterday by fourteen majority. con.
fess that this bewildered ! do not know where

to tell who was beaten yesterday and who achieved the
triumph. II that be so, think this is the bappiest bill
that was ever passed by any legislative body upon earth
because IT was passed. and nobody feels eaied by
ces: or aog s, from defeat lLaughier-l
Mr. WHlTCOMB call the senator TO order

The PRESIDING OFFICER The Chair is of opinion
that the senator's remarks certainly out OF ORDER and
the debate Tor the last hour and half has also been out
Of order
Mr.. HALE hope il may be entered upon the journal
that the senator from New Hampshire no more Out

The PRESIDING OFFICER The senator from New
Hampshire commenced an entirely new subject
Mr.; HALE. was going on 10 speak OF the merits oil
The BILL do not wish to appeal from the decision OF the
Chair; but thought one OF the first things to find out
with regard 10 the existing state OF things was 10 find
out what had passed But. the honorable Presi-
