There was in this House gentleman from Kentucky,

them it to Young America that when something
had to be done bold adventurous and dashing and q
mortal assault had to be made, the old foges stand

MT. BRECKENRIDGE desired to say that the gentle
man as mistaken when he supposed his remarks

friends of any body He had net been put forward in
this House b. any body and if he knew himself he

by men who won, d remain in the background
Mr.. MARSHALL did not know but what it was to the
gentemans interest take the position he had because
if Gen. Butler should be elected Presdentand he only

delivered some days since
Mr. PENN replied that he did have conversation with
the gentleman from Kentucky the defence of Gen.
Butler but nothing in relation to Mr.. buchanan
Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE desired to ask the gentleman
from Louisiana whether in any casual conversation
he might have had with him before he delivered his
speech there any ntmaton that his speech was in

of any candidates against candidateH
Mr. PENN replied None and he desired to ask the gem
teman from California question.
Mr. MARSHALL replied that he could not yield but l
he would anticipate the genemans question by saying
he never injured Mr. Buchanan he not worth killing
Mr.. PENN wished to ask the gentleman if he did not
furnish the article against Mr. buchanan which recently
appeared in the Republic ?"
Mr.. MARSHALL. ! did; did that very thing.
Mr.. PENN. You call upon Wings TO assist yea
Mr.. MARSHALL said that Democratic paper an
organ Of Gen. Cass in Pennsylvania contained number
ofcharges against Mr. Buchanan catalogue long enough
TO occupy stump speaker two hours in answering Most
of the charges DID, for Mr. buchanan had been long
in public life. The Republic had taken the trouble to
coate various attacks made upon other Democratic
ddates for the Presidency and these charges against
Mr.. Buchanan had not been published he them
the Republic, to make perfect record Of the diff
Guilty into which the Democratic party had got itself
Laughter.
Mr.. NJ then replied to that portion Of Mr.. BREcKES-
RIDGES speech which referred to progression,
ing s'Young America" with its progression, and old
fogysm and its beaten candidates with retrogresson
its motto. Raise the banner with the motto extracted
from the gentemans speech inscribed upon it, land the
whole speech could be condensed in word retrogres
sion, ana-progress and he supposed some Democrats
would follow it, They would march after their fag-he
would but IT would be by the music Of the mufied
drum by the left flank, and TO the wall Of the dead
march Every one who heard who had read the gen.
tlemans speech would find in it Of the gem
temans conceptions Of progress The gentleman said
Hunt up some imaginary genius, place him on n new J
policy give him Young America for fulcrum and let
him turn the world upside down" He MIR NJ could
not reason with proposition like this lie had never
consulted Judge Douglas to what his position was in
reference to the two sides of the world but he had no
doubt that he sound upon that subject daughter
He had never heard him speak Of intentions disturb
the mechanical arrangement of the physical universe nor
did he think that the United States was finished ready
to be fenced in and painted
Mr.. NJ then referred the history Of Judge Douglas
and said that he had elements about him for success in
popular contest.
