The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1856-07-10

presume nothing certain than that Kansas would
have been settled and organized quietly al Nebraska
but for the encouragement given TO the schemes for abo
tonizng ii by the appeals TO the sectional ealouses
and passions Of aboonsts by leading champions Of that
party.
Mr. Hale complained bitterly OF this mode Of atribu-
ting to him and his friends the responsibility Of the crimes
which had occurred in Kansas but before concluding re-
turned to the mode Of argument OF which he COM
planned in Mr. Douglas He insisted that il parlia-
menary mode OF argument to attribute what he deduced
as the legitimate result Of measure as the design OF that
measure and the intention of those who suPpoed On
this mode of reasoning he traced all the violations OF law
order in Kansas the repeal Of that time honored and
sacred landmark which stood dividing line between
slavery and freedom Mr. Douglas replied briefly showing
that he had only used Mr.. Haes own mode ofargument
and parliamentary his part 1t could not be less
so when used by Mr. Douglas He expressed some surprise
at hearing 30 eloquent eulogy the Missouri Oompro-
mise and then read from speech Of Mr. Hale In ls4e'
when the proposition to extend that compromise 10 the Pa
cfc was pending the Senate nwhich Mr. Hale derided
that compromise and declared lie would never help him
God vote for the line of 80 deg 80 min This was most
crushing blow on Mr.. Hale; but he kept his temper sent
for the speech and said the same passage had been
quoted upon him up in New Hampshire and then, as now
II was supposed he was demolished He went on to repeat
the sentiment in the speech and to argue that he occupies
the same ground now he did them and again. in very
emphatic language said he would vote for the MIS-
souri, line At this point Mr. Stuart very quietly ana
asked Mr. Hale if days ago, he did not vote tor Mr
Collsmers amendment TO the pacihcation bill Tor the
restoration Of the acknowledgements line? The ques-
ton took Mr. Hale by surprise; be fairly thrown OH
his guard he seemed at first like denying the fact but
after time recovered sufficiently to inquire if he had 50
voted, or If such a proposition had been made lie
could not think that it was the Missouri Compromise
that Mr. Collamer had offered, and for which he had
voted Mr. Stuart again and read the amendment
in the exact language of the Missouri Compromise Mr.
Hale was fairly cornered and oundered through the resi-
due Of his speech with attempt his vote on the
ground that was legitimate to vote for bad proposition
by way of amendment in order to make bad bill worse,
and by that means to defeat it. That may be legitimate
and parliamentary but doubt whether it would be easy
show its entire morality; at all events it was but poor
retreat for Mr. Hale from the awkward dilemma in which
MS speech of ls4s his two days ago. and his speech
yesterday, placed him.
Mr. Fessenden followed and lectured Mr. Douglas as to
his Of speaking and his habit of calling the oppo-
sition senators black republicans and then went into
long argument the general merits of the Kansas ques
ton.
The discussion was continued by Messrs Crittenden,
Wilson, Pugh Weller Biger and Stuart until after nine
o'clock; when the motion to print was adopted
