his reception, and entertainment. and providing
Tor the payment of his entertainment. His desire
was 20 embrace all things relating 10 him in Que
measure, so as that when that was disposed of the
Senate would be occupied by him no longer.
Mr.. CLEMENS said that lac was Of those
who had said considerable of Kossuth. and who had
yet much more to say concerning him. There
was n resolution lying on the table, proposing
90 pay the expenses incurred in his reception
and entertainment while here. This resolution
was very innocent upon its face, but when it came
up Tor considcr alton he would take occasion to ga
a few words upon 1t. He would then draw a par
aliel between the action Of the Senate with regard
to kossuth and with regard 10 other persons. A
few days before Kossuth was received here old
lady, the surviving relative of a revolutionary
hero, asked the Senate Tor pittancc to enable her
to maintain herself during the last few remaining
days OF her existence, and the Senate refused it.
She asked for bread. and the Senate gave her a
stone. And now by the resolution the table, the
Senate is called upon 10 pay more for Champagne
and Burgundy, used in one day by kossuth and
his suite, than would have supported that old lady
for period twice as long as her life would con
tinue.
Why should the Senate print this letter. VAST
for the information of Senators? All have read il
that ever will read it. Was il to be printed in
der TO show respect for Kossubs The Senate had
already shown him more respect than he deserved,
and more than it should have shown to hundred
such men. He could perceive reason for print
ing these letters, uniess it for the purpose OF
giving 10 the doctrines it contained sanction by
man was to be influenced now by any thing Kos
suth could say All had swallowed his doctrines
whoever would DO so; nothing further was TO be
accomplished by him in influencing the popular
mind He would say TO those who desire to make
capital out Of this man, that the Kossuth humbug
was dead one, and could not be galvanized; and
any man who attaches himself TO 1t will go down
as surely as that the sun will rise to morrow.
Mr.. DOWNS supported the motion to print.
When kossuth was received in the Senate no OPP
portunity was afforded him to return his thanks;
and this letter dated January IL, and was in
tended 10 do that which opportunity had been
allowed him 10 do III person.
Mr. CHASE said that lac had not charged any
Senator who opposed the printing Of this letter
with any intentional discourtesy.
lie referred 10 the remark Of MIR. BADGER made
yesterday concerning the attention paid to the
reading OF the letter, and urged that the printing
was necessary to complete the history OF kossuths
reception by the Senate.
Mr.. RUSk said that, like the wit of FalstaG this
man not only talked great deal himself, but
gave cause TO great deal Of talk in others. He
would vote against the printing. At time he
was about 10 change his views. and this was in
consequence of the argument OF the Senator from
Michigan, (Mr. CAss,) who said this was act
of modesty on the part Of Kossuth As this
scarce article, and this was worry rare specimen
oft, he thought it should be preserved.
Messrs. BADGE Err, CLEMENS, and SOULE,
continued the debate, the latter iavoring the mo-
ton TO print. And, the question being taken. the
report Of the committee was agreed to--yeas 81,
