branch of the subject, and turn my attention now
& TO the fruits and consequences Of this order.
Not long after the election in this city members of
this House invited to address the citizens of this Dis
trict upon the al-absorbing topic of know-nohngsm.
They attended meeting at Caruss Saloon but not
permitted to address the audience They hssed and
hooted down by the members Of this order who assembled
in sufficient force the peaceful law abiding citi

exhibition was attended with that violence and

the country where these things were done. .
II is not however, my intention go into history of
the riots and boodshed which this order has provoked in
the northern States but to speak OF the political results
which it has ACCOMPLISHED

given Of such exalted and extended patriotism? Judged
by the fruits it has produced there nothing in il to COM

people of the South But the contrary the results OF
the late elections in the northern States well calculated
the people Of the South pause and reflect before
entering into bonds with this sect Look to the record
They have revoutonized Maine TO the Senate OF
the United States open avowed uncompromising abo
tionist in the place of Bradbury national democrat and
to this House with but excepton they have returned
abolitonists, orwhat amounts to about the same In
the North-whgs. And the old Bay State--which stood
shoulder shoulder with the foremost in the days that tried

to the good work and who, Notwithstanding her modern
herses has had in the Congress OF the United
States who have commanded the respect and admiration OF
the whole counyhow fares il with her In her recent
election all of enlarged and statesmanke views were
displaced to make for Buringame, Comns, Davis,
and Knapp aboltioniss of the darkest hue And in the
other branch of Congress- the seat filled and adorned
by Webster Choate and Everett is to be disgraced
by Henry Wilson who it is said supporter OF Henry
Clay in l844-a supporter Of Van Buren and Adams in
