The Outrage

Despite the manful efforts of the Ameri-
can party to. sustain the law and right, the
| outrage in the Senate has been re-enacted in
the House. The seats Of MessFs. LumspEs,
DEvALL and MORGAN. as the Representatives
of the 4th and Sth Repfesentiye Districts OF
Orleans have been sarated and given to the
contestants, without law, without a hearing
and without i~astice. 1t is not as a partisan,
but as an American citizen Jealous of the
peoples rights, that we raise our votce
against this gh-handed outrage.
1t was openly charged that the contested
election cases had been decided upon in the
dark and secret recesses Of a caucus-Toom-
this charge was unienied ] Il it possible
that the Democratic party which so violent
ly opposed the secret feature of the Amer.
can party, can sanction the action of their
Representatives who not only secreilg deter
mine questions which should be discussed
and settled in the Halls of Legislation. but
also arrogate to themselves the right Of de-
ternining who shall occupy the places Of
those who are returned as duty elected Rep
resentatiYes Of the people ! sssua.
Every right of the sitting members was
disregarded they were not only condemned
without q hearing, but every far and

In all the consequent diversities and jung

VINO Should be Speaker

From the Democratic Advocate of oath,
San, We clip the following questions aud
answers Of Richardson and Fuller, candidates
for the Speasership in the House OF Repre-
seutatiyes. We wish we could induce every
Louisianian to read these answers without
party bias and say which he would choose
IF these two men represent the opinions OF
two parties in Congress, which party would
you prefer.
One tells MS he has been a"Wilmot Pro-
viso3 man the other never advocated that

the other gives a bold Southern answers direct
to the point. To the question Are you III
favor Of Slavery in the District of Columbia I?
one answered no, the other, yes. Read and
Judge for yourselves.
Mr.. Richardson replied to the series OF
written iat~errogations proposed by MIR. Iol-
lieoHer, and commanded the marked atten-
ton of the members and the audience tllrong-
ing the galleries. He said that stassry
.would not &c, there, but ne never urged that

so, he voted for the principle as applicable to
the Mexican acquisition in a spirit Of COM
promise. but it would be unjust to incorpo-
rate it in a territorial bill. In his judgment.
the Constitution does not carry slavery into
the territories, but protects both sections OF
the Union alike. 3# e.
Mr.. Fuller said he was ready at anyriiHute
to retire from the field of protracted contest.
He did not regard the Kansas bill ~ promo
tive either Of free or slave States. and had
never advocated the eonstitutionaiity Of the
Wiilmoa, Proviso. Slavery exists independ-
entity OF the Constitution. Congress, there
lore, had 10 right to l~egislate sia avery in OF
out of the territories, and only the right to
legislate 50 far as to protect the citizens in
the enjoyment Of their property.
/ Mr.. Barksdaie asked Mr.. Banks-Are you

you in favor OF slavery in the District of CO.

ity between the white and black races by
legislation Are you in favor of the entire
exclusion of natpralized citizens and Catho-
lies from offices ? Are YOU in favor of the
modification OF the tariff as you were last

Mr.. Richardson replied negatively to Mr.,
Barksdaie's queries excepting the last =
Hf. fhtter answered tHat !e was NOT In
favor of the restoration of the Missouri re-
s%trictiom, and was opposed to the abolition Of
slavery In the District Of Columbia. He did
not believe ia the equality of the white ard
black races. He thought with Washington,
that the best policy of the Government was
to appoint natiye-born citizens 70 Office in
preference to those Of foreign birth. He
would prescribe no man for his religion, but
would accede to all the largest liberty of
opinion. He did not desire to exclude for
elgners from hither, and would invite them
to settle the public territory and build up for
legislation and in the administration of the
laws Americans should govern america
