One word as 10 the speech of my colleague
about Kossuth md slavery. Is this the plac,
and this the OCCASION for my colleague to rst
and make a speech in regard to slavery-tC
be eternally agiating that agtating subject
Laughter. Why, here call upon him to cor
rect misrepresentation, aud he commences bis
speech with slavlry. Laughter. Let me tel
him and this committee, this question of slavery
is one which, from the time first took my seal
in this Hall, haze not hesitated to discuss upon
all proper OCCASIONS. When | do hesitate to
meet it, upon all such occasions, let my right
arm drop from its socket, but let me protest
against these agtators. Laughter. Why, you
cannot say anything in regard to Kossuth and
about Hungary, Sr about any other subject, but
there. are men upon this floor who will see the
ghost OF slavery, aboltion, freesoil or something
else, rising up bebre them; and at il they will
go wind mill fashion, waging war against it.
What pro ocationhas my colleague to come out
and assal the Fresoil party, the Abolitionists
or the public press? Why, does not the public
sentiment of our State stare him in the face and
point him to a speedy political grave to which il
will consign the nan who trampes upon the
popular sentiment of the day? very much
apprehend, when the proper occasion arrives
these agitators will force nae into speech upon
this question Of slatNy, Laughter, and then lei
me tell You, that the gentleman will be as silent
and dumb as an adder. You will not coax him
into reply or a speech when ] shall come
forward and in legitimate course of argument
assail the positions he has so long occupied but
here, out of time, out Of place, and out Of order
he pitches into it, as the saying is out West

Mr. TAYLOR. do not mean to follow the

The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from
Ohio Mr.. OLDs] rises to point of order.
Mr.. OLDS My question of order is this
that no gentleman has right to occupy the floor

ton.
Mr. CAMPBELL In order to relieve nv
colleague, however, will simply say, as this is
controversy between my two colleagues
upon the right, Messrs. GlDDINGs and TAYLOR, |
have myself nothing more to say, Having
made few remarks in respect TO my personal
connection in the natter yielded the floor to
my furthest colleague, Mr. GIDpINGs,l because
he was connected with the controversy; and |
had just now yielded the floor to my colleague
from the Ross district, Mr. TAYLOR | rise
again TO say that yield the floor unconditon-
ally.
The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from
Ohio Mr.. CAMPBELL had yielded the floor to
the gentleman from Ohio Mr.. GIDDINGs to
make a personal explanation. Then he yielded
it to another gentleman from Ohio MIR. TAY-
LoR for personal explanations 1t is legitimate
in the opinion of the chair, for one gentleman
to yield the floor for personal explanation
but it is not legitimate for him to yield it for
the purpose of making speech
Mr.. OLDS. i know ! can hardly claim the
attention of the committee at this late hour of
the day. do not propose to detain them five
minutes. do not rise for the purpose ofsen-
tering into this fight between my colleagues
upon the other side of the House. trust that
when this committee shall again have under
consideration the bounty lard bill they will pro.
vide that these gentlemen shall have bounty
land for services for fighting in this buck. shot
war. Laughter My frioEd from the Scioto
district, Mr.. TAYLOR, being a willy politician,
has made some insinuations at this time which
am called upon to notice, being from the same
State. propose TO notice his great devotion to
the names of General Jackson and to James
Madison. He made the remark, that if these
illustrious dead should rise and appear before
the American people, there should not be the
same exertion TO tender honors TO them as in
the case of Kossulh. Why has my friend from
the Scioto district become SO devotedly attached
to the names Of Madison and Jackson as this,
that nc places them among the great men of the
country! The gentleman has been a party
mamie has always given his allegiance as
party man; and when the iustrious Jackson
was alive, and candidate for the highest hon.
ors before the American people he belonged TO
the party that carried the coffin hand bills 10
blacken the name Of that great man. Why
does he rise nowhnd place him before the Amer.
lean people es enc of those to whom they will
not pay honor before they would to the name
of kossulh! |. is not TO that remark particu.
lary to which ] wish to call the attention of
the committee. ] have observed that he is a
party man. He knows the condition Of his
party new. He sees the handwriting upon the
wall, and he knows full well what the inter-
probation Of that handwriting is. Dies he stand
here for the purpose Of giving information
Mr.. TAYLOR, Qnterposing) Will the gem
teman allow me to ask him question? will
ask him If he was not opposed to Jackson, and
il he did not at, one time belong to the Wing
party in Ohio?
Mr.. OLDS resuming. | will reply to the
gen eman. / owe the same allegiance TO the
party to-day, although he did not belong to the
same party did then What wish TO call the
attention of the committee to at this time is this
the gentleman being party man, and seeing the
handwriting upon the wall, and knowing well
the interpretation wishes to speak upon this
floor, not for the ears Of members, but so that it
will reach the ears Of Southerners-men who
will be called before year shall have ELAPSED
to vote for another presidential candidate. What
is the insinuatioh of my coleaguel Il is, that
these Northern fanatics, Free-soilers and Abo-
ltionists, are uniting with the Democratic party
for the purpose Of getting the ascendcncy in this
country. How long is II Aince my friend from
the Sciota district Mr.. Taylor has eschewed all
connection with abolitionism and free .soilism in
Ohio? How long is il since his party has es-
chewed all connection Of that kind Is not that
party united with every ism in the country!
