RESOLUTIONS.
The Lennon slave case resolutions were taken up,
and
Mr. BROOKS took the floor. He said that the
main object which gave interest to these resolutions
had been accomplished accomplishment OF which
had been beralded by bonfes and the booming OF
cannon which most likely, had by this time, been
heard on the banks of the POtomsc or at least had
reverberated throughout the entire Length ana oseaatn
of our State which great State ii was claimed by the
frt nos Of Wm H. Seward, had been forever giorihed
by the return Of that gentleman to the United STATES
Senate More than this, those VINO hsa aldea IN
bridging about the accomplish nent OF this OBJECT,
lad beep awakened from light sumOers, by midnight
serepaders thou, he could not but feel thar there
WA something OF bitter irony in this connection'
when be rememhel cd the music that was seieceo 'oI
The occssiop. But il had passed now, and he hoped
that The subject matter Of the resolution would az
last receive the consideration It requires. Mr. d.
then argued in favor OF the adoption oil the fesoio-
zion, He had never heard any man north OF the TO-
tomsc claim that Slavery national institution.
Why be did not believe that that would be claimed tor
Il on the banks Of the Mississippi II was therefore,
the hight Of injustice to claim that WIN IL. seward
Wa the only one who had maintained that Slavery
vas a local institution. Mr.. w. then resd from the
printed speech of VIM. II. Seward, published Ia 1880.
wherein no declared that he would vote for the ad-
mission Of California, even though u ca me IN 10
XVIII that there rejoicing TO day In w
Cnia over the election of this same man TO the U: ..
Snste. Yes, Sir the friends Of the Administration
In the Old Dominion are exulting to-day over that
event.
MIR DICKINSON-I am glad Of it.
Mr. BROOKS-And | Ii tell you why. IL could De
used against the Wings there. The Administration
friends would say TO them: The Wings OF New YORK
+" have sustained Seward, and GU must sustain US,
az his opponents" There has never been greater
fraud, continued Mr. B. than this same Senatorial
electioa. Everything was sacrificed TO secure the
election Of members OF the rght stamp 20 the Legs ~
seduce these from their allegiance to their csn
stituens. Members have been beset in the Legisls-
ture and out of the Legislature. They ha 20 been taken
up stairs and down stairs, and IN the ades chamoe,
as the nursery song says. They have been Toasted,
and wheedled ct those feastngs and defrauded OF
their honest convictions. Aud now, great oo.
ject had been accomplished and ne wished the
managers ard perpetrators thereof mach JOY OF
the result. Mr.. b. next alluded to the order of
Know Nothipgs, contendipg that it was not secret
or,apizstonVthat there W nothing connected with
that Order that was q secret and he maintsinef IN AZ
every American was justified in becoming me'noer
NJ ,bst Ordsr Secret societies had always existed
