such men were the right path unless rose from the
dead 10 assure me when among the leaders-the
members from Massachusetts, (Messrs. MANN and RAN
TouL) and the member from Ohio, Mr.. GIDDNGs.
Mr. Chairman have heard it said that Austria, Rus
STA and aynau have friends and advocates in this House
might with proprety refer this unworthy remark to the
gentleman the other side The author OF IT VIII IND
among his political friends Of patriotism equal his
whose department he had better initiate who as firm
in their opposition to this resolution any on tins side
of the House Gentlemen Of both parties are opposing
it. Wings and Democrats, actuated by principe-hrm,
true and unflinchng men-unite in opposing It, Sir,
were TO say of any here that he spoke like one
who had been intimate with discussions at the Five
Points in New York, and there learned his courtesy,
should not be unjust than he was who charged
those who oppose this resolution being the friends of
Haynau
This matter demands very careful consideration When
the adopted by the abolitoniss when we
see the proceedings Of the abolition convention when we
Hook the Senate and there find Messrs SEWARD and
SUMNER taking the lead in this matter pause to know
what it 1t is true that General CAss IS with them
but Governor SEWARD will beat him at that game out OF
sight.
Not only in Pennsylvania, but in Ohio man bearing
the Of Knke is collecting money and asserting that
he intends aid in abolshng slavery have seen seye
raj the Ohio papers publishing the proceedings of meet
ings in which the Pennsylvania Convention hnds aiders
and abettors.
I have only time to add, Mr. Chairman that | am will
ling do all that courtesy requires towards Kossuth
but is due to him that his be not allowed to APP
pear sanctionng the wishes of those who, unwor
thily, willing to injure him to give themselves some
poor advantage.
We are by no means free danger. Attempts have
been made within year invade the island of Cuba, in
possession of Power with which we are at peace Our
whole country has been agtaed by the malignant efforts
of fanatics, North and South. Canada is not always
quiet the world seeming to be unsettled and war is
still proclaimed against the South by the enemies Of the
country Is this time for to commit ourselves to
Kossuth's doctrines? think not and my duty compels
me to vote against this resolution as it now stands.
Mr. GIDDINGS. Mr.. Chairman, have long known
my friend from North Carolina Mr. STANLY.) know
the sentiments and feelings Of his heart having long
served with him here and receive all that he has said
in kindness will say to him, in the commencement,
Tand very frankly that he need be at trouble about
ing heaven, for he will not find the path Laughter
The gentleman not to have discussed any matter
submitted to this House this Congress- but he has
proper travel to Philadelphia to catch up newspaper
articles to discuss here instead OF the resolution under
consideration. This unexpected to me, and he ap
peas though he felt confident that he could draw
from my propriety, to enter into discussion OF tins
kind 1t is compliment that the gentleman has paid
to my Judgment and if he had known as well as he
should he must have known that he could succeed IN no
attempt to draw into discussion of this character
thank him for this left-handed compliment to my
Judgment and understanding. He should have known
that stakeholder by the crack of his LASH could drive
me into an improperly of this kind
My sentiments that gentleman well knows, and he is
also that at all times ready to express them
here and elsewhere. He will bear testimony to the
prompttude with which have always met attacks upon
my sentiments. The g itleman shakes his head but
ask him to lay his finger point where have failld
to vindicate myself when have been assailed.
Mr.. STANLY lin his seat.) Now.
Mr.. GIDDINGS | will not do it on the present occa-
sion before this House and the country, and under the
five minutes rule. The gentleman must know that the
doctrines entertain cannot be explained and indicated
In five minutes speech The gentleman should well
understand that know too well the game he attempts
to play upon now; but will not be caught by it.
He may draw of his political opponents into an i'm
proper discussion but will have nothing to do with it.
Have not injured reputation before the American
people by spending long hours here day before
terday, in revolutionary and disorganzng movements,
tending break down the foundations of the Government
merely because majority of this House in favor Of
the resolution, and minority has entered into reyolu-
tonary to retard the wheels of Government
The country will look upon this, and mark it as an era
in its history, that such resolution this revolu
onary movements should have been resorted to by the
minority for the purpose of preventing its passage and
to my regret my friend from North Carolina ir SrASLY)
has been found among that minority.
So far the gentleman has alluded to the remarks
which made in Philadelphia, do not hesitate to say
that here and elsewhere my opinions the same and
will yindcate them As dispose of the reso-
luton under consideration, and proceed to discuss
the Presidents message, shall be most happy to cross
swords with the gentleman.
The question was then taken on the amendment of Mr..
STANLY and it rejected-yeas q, nays 81.

those in favor Of the resolution contendng that the
luton should be adopted necessary consequence Of
the former acts of the Government in relation to Kossuth
and those opposed to the resolution arguing that view
of the case and maintaining that Kossuth not to
be considered as a national guest.
Mr.. BROWN, of Mississippi moved an amendment to
the effect that it should be understood that the House of

this Government in the triangular going in Europe
Mr. b. did not desire that the action of the House in
inviting Kossuth seat within the bar should be
strued into expression of opinion to his doctrines
He could readily imagine in the progress of human events
which might arise when it would be important for
this Government to interfere, and he would not by de-
