finally succeeded in sezng upon the legislative and execu-
tive departments of her government il will not be because
the person to the Senate of the United States in place
of Truman Smith fill out the remainder of the present
Congress by the eonon wing and abolition votes of the
legislature Of Connecticut equal To the most
dalous and revolving assaults upon the constitution of our
beloved country We refer TO Mr. Gillette and par
tculary to his shameless and inammatory speech in the
Senate the 9th of July last Mr.. Gillette is one of
the senatorial twins born of the last remarage between
the wings and abotioniss of Connecticut and he
here perform his part of this base covenant He comes
here attack the constitution to assail the South to
libel his country and to defy the lessons of the holy
past His inaugural caumny of Thursday last contains
the following passage

This Mr. Gillette one Of moral masters respecter

And yet he rolls the whites Of his eyes to heaven and
asks others to believe it
So Connecticut "nvokes us dsabuse the constitution
