The appointment of Committees ir the
SPnakp.

Never have the bigotry, intolerance, ignorance
un-Amercan, un-patriotic, and un-dcmocratic cha
racterlStics of the Hunkcr parties of this nation
been so manifest as in the late appointment ofc
mittceS in the United States Senate John p
Hale, Charles Sumner, and Salmon p. Chase have
been excluded from every committee of the Senate
for reasons, which we can give 90 better, than III
the language of the report of proceedings:
Mr.. Bright said the political party having the
majority in this body met and agreed upon IA mum
Der of gentlemen who should constitute each com.
mittcc, all of their own political faith After thi,
was done, the list was handed to the honorable
Senator from Maryland, Mr. PcarccI who, with
the assistance of his political friends has added
the names of two Senators upon each committee
upon which there are five and one upon those
committees where there are three.
This has been the usual practice | believe for
the last three or four years l believe the honora-
bic Senator from New Hampshire Mr. Hale is
not upon any one committee, for the reason, ! feel
authorized to say upon the part of my political
friends, that we considered him outside of any
healthy political organization in this country
Laughter
Calhoun, Clay, and Webster are gone, and now
the American people are to be deprived of the ser
vices of the three, by all odds, next greatest and
best men of the Senate to CRAFTY this brutal into
erance of Hunkcrism. a healthy political par
ty,' TO he sure! We suppose the parties which
have for their avowcd object the naturalization Of
slavery or the destruction of the Union are estee
med very healthy by this new inquistion, as theil
representatives accorded high places in the DO
dv. 1t is those parties which have freedom rs Tho
soul of their union which love the Union and woult
uphold the constitution, that are in an unhealthy
condition. And Jesse d. Bright was the man Eau
thorizcd TO make the announcement! An an
propriate agent for duty so mean, and an admi
rahe duty for an agent so contemplate TIL,
smallest kind of a small potato, and touched with
the rot at that, announcing sentence of practica
expulsion against ChaS. Sumner, John p. Hale
and Salmon 7. Chase; insulting the States of n
Hampshire, of Massachusetts,, and Ohio, and in
deed the whole American people.
The New York Evening Post which helped &c
elect Pierce, thus speaks of the matter:
On test vote this proscriptive list of commit
tec-men was adopted by II vote of 80 tot Sen
tors voting rs follows
Against observation-disclosures. Brodhcad, Chase
Clarke Hale, Sumner and Wade-6
FOR Observation-Disclosures. Adams, AtChison
Badger Bayard Boreland Bradbury. Bright
Brooke Butler, Cass, Catchcart Charlton, Glen
ems, Cooper, Dawson, Dodge of Wis, Dodge OF
Iowa, Douglass, Fetch, Fish, Foot, Gever, Gwin
Hunter, James of Tennessee, Mason, Miller, Nor
ton, Pearce, Shields, Smith Jones Soule. Spruance
Toucey, Underwood, Upham and Weller-3S.
The result OF this vote was 10 exclude from all
the committees of the Senate, Messsrs Hale of
New Hampshire, Chase, of Ohio, and Sumner Of
Massachusetts. Such an indignity, we believe
was never before perpetrated by an American Sen,
ator, or upon an American Senator. 1t was one
of the most ill-bred and discourteouS proceedings
we ever heard of in a deliberative assembly.
We hope this does not truly shadow the charac-
ter of the Pierce Democracy, though we fear it
docs. We cannot think so meanly of the Ameri-
can people, 70 believe that such outragcs can be
persisted in without sooner later bringing upon
the perpetrators merited rctribution.
