It must you, Mr.. President and 10 every sen-

Onlo who has Just taken his seat 10 one Of the most
remarkable which have been delivered in the Senate
OF the United States He 10 here representing in part one
Of The soveregntes Of this conederacy hs comes bare
10 discuss grave question: question which he him
sell says involves nothing more nor less tnan he peace

the question would have approached II with camncss
and deliberaon, and hxed purpose TO investigate and

submit 10 HIMSELF and to you Sir, and u every senator
here, how far that gentleman has accomplished his pur-
pose aud how far his speech went to elucldate great
principle. fact, or roicy.
His speech from the beginning 10 the end, with the
exception OF few filings a. the committee. was TRADE
of abuse and denunciaon OF institution which has
descended us from the fathers OF the republic Before
he talked about the scourge and the Of slavery
before he said that TO with its communicating
louch the beauty OF that garden OF God that Eden
which he represents this territory 10 behc should have
asked himself The question, From whence came this
bghling curse! The fathers OF the republe-men,
some OF whom gave their lives and their fortunes. and
pledged their sacred honor 10 the maintenance OF the
great principles which this government 10 pedcxed-
the authors Of this pesence this curse, this blight
ing scourge, which the senator thinks comes down IKE
siTocco from heaven, 10 Wher and blast the fortunes
of this great land Sir II 10 me that II the dead
could rise from the grave the spirits Of those revolution
airy sres and patriots would rise up win mdignaton 70
rebuke such assault upon their memories
The senator says that this nelarous plan s to be con-
summated and by what nstrnmentaly he inquiries, is
this great wickedness TO be achieved By conspiracy
as foul odious Infamous as any that 10 recorded
in the annals OF history And who are the c0nspiFatos!
Honorable senators here acting upon their own tespona-
bilitiesacng upon the same high Iespons0'Iily upon
which the senator from Ohio acts-h0norabe senator's
here who alike responsible TO the God who made
them, and the constitution which they have sworn TO sup
port and to the great principles Of human rknt ana nu-

But sir, be says there is one thing which strikes him
with PAIN asonshment, and regret What IL that He
turns upon this side OF the chamber, aud tells a.
that in other days which past and gone, we stood
side by side shoulder to shoulder, fighting 10 com-
mon cause. Yes. sir, we did; and beg that hon
orsble senator TO do and 10 do others, the usce 10
say, that that struggle never put oar shoulaen

There are, however very strange things 10 this
world. There things which are stranger 70 my
