Mr.. SrANLY. A few words
Mr.. GIDDINGs. The gentleman, in that con-

date me from speaking the truth.
Mr.. STANLY. Ihope that the gentleman will
not gnash his teeth so hard. He says [ must
not crack the everseer's lash over him. We
have no cracking of the lash over the slave

is here playing oyerseer over white men? Who
but he that throws his filthy gall and assails
eyerybody-Northern Wings dough faces, and
"vile slavehoders''-and he is the only man

Mr.. STANLY resumed. have departed from
my usual course of treatment towards that men,
Der, but his own insolence caused me to say
something on this occasion. He rose and poured
out his abuse on the whole House and country.
In moment of excitement | got up and re-
minded him of his misdeeds. He said nv as
sertion was false. IIe has thrown the first stone,
and must take the consequences. I beg pardon
for having stopped to controversy with him.
Mr.. GiDDINGs. One word. When I spoke
OF what the gentleman said, as false, l did not
transcend the parliamentary rules of the House.
1t is not insulting or ungentlemany. If a gen

faces and Swiss guard Of the North will say
no him, if you 90 so slow as you did to-day, I
can't follow you. 1t may be suitable in his
country for the barroom, but such language

Mr.. GIDDINGs. One word more.
Mr.. STANLY. The gentleman says that it is
