bic gentleman from Massachusetts, lie has
been at the same time, and as bitterly, assail-
ed by Southern Denocrats--as, for instance,
in the very element speech made the other
day by the gentleman from Tennessee, (Mr'
JoHNsoN,) for having constituted. as they
say, those very committees, in such manner
as unfairly 10 favor the North
But to the re ccId agaih. Nc colleague
cannot deny, in the face Of that, that the
majority Of each of the two committees 10
which he has referred-the Committee OF
Territories and the Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia-happen cd 10 DC composed
Of northern men. What then? Why, he
says that the Committee on Territories did
not report bill to organize territorial gov
ernments for California and New Mexico,
with the provision of the ordinance against
slavery, until peremptolly ordered t. IL SO
by the House, on the motion of our coliea-
que, (Mr RooT.) And this fact is paralctf
before the country, with much flourish and
pre,ence of indignation, as an impeachment

of duty, and OF the Speaker who appointed
them. Most triunphantly has this charge
been answered, and nailed to the counter as
n base issue, by the other gentleman from

appears simply to be that the committed.
though apparently appointed on the 5th Of
! December, was rot, in fact announced until
| the 10th and on the 18th, when Mr. Roor,
so impatient Of delay, offered his resolution,
they had not yet had opportunity TO meet
and act, nor had the subject been referred to
them. Then they did report Oh the 20ih,

long bill OF that kind, could be performed.

! But he says the Committee On the District
Of Columbia was arranged with view to
promote the slave trade studiousv ar
ranged,"" so as TO protect the Infamous com

Does anybody believe that Or would anv
body not mad with one idea, impute such IA
design What are the facts again? That
committee, like the Committee on the To-
ritories, was composed in the last Congress
OF five members from free States and four
from slave States. My colleague oonplains
that they did not make any move to abolish
the slave trade in this District at the NJ
session Of the Congress, ant yet the Speaker
committed the enormity of roappo'nting the
same committee at the second session Nithdut

llberate purpose Of deception to the honor
able gentleman but bis statement is too welt
adapted to deceive, in this particular, those
who are not familiar with the practices OF

this House are rarely changed at all at a Soc
ond session ; that they are reapponted with
