shall not detain the senate by a detailed
reply 10 the speech Of the Senator from Massa
chuse,,s Indeed should not deem il neccs-
sarv TO saw one word, but for the personalities
in which lc has INDUCED, evincing a depth Of
nalignitv that issued from every sentence ma.
king IL a matter Of sell respect with me to re-
pei the assaults which have been made.
As 10 the argument, we have heard it all be-
fore. Not u position not fact. not an argu-
lnent has he used, which has not been employed
on the same side Of the Chamber this year, and
replied to by me twice shall not follow him,
therefore, because il would only be repeating
the same answer which have twice before
given TO each OF his positions. He seems to
get up speech, "a in Yankee land they get
up bed Quilt They take all the old
cetco dresses, q. vaftfe.s cDtars, .kst Aave beaE
in the house from the days OF their ersnd.moth
crs and invite the young ladies Of the neigh.
borh0od in the afternoon. and the young men
10 meet them at dance in the evening. They
cut M these pieces Gf old dresses, and make
pretty fgures, and boas, Of wha, beautiful or
namenia work they have made, although there
was not new material in the whole quilt
Laughter Thus il j, with the speech which
we have had rehearscd here today in regard
10 matters OF fact matters Of law, and matters
Of argument every thing but the personal a.
,anl,s and the malgntiy,
beg pardon there IS another point. We
have had another dish OF the classics served up
classic ausion3 each one only distinguished
for its lascivlousnesS and obscurity each one
drawn from those portions Of the classics which
all decent professors in respectable colleges
cause To- be suppressed as unfit for decent young
men Ia read Sir. caDno, rcpcat the words.
should he condemned a. unworthy Of entering
decent society. If repeated those obscene. vul-
gar terms which have been used al least IA
hundred times IN that speech |, seems that
his studies of the classics have all been in those
hauuts where ladies cannot &c and where gen
tiemen never read Latin, Laughter, |
have no disposition 10 follow him in ,ha, part
Of bis speech
His endeavor seems TO be an attempt to
whistle to keep up his courage by defiant as
saults upon US all | am in doubt as TO what
can be his object lie has not besitated TO
charge three fonrihs %, the Senate with frau1
with swindling. with crime. and with lnfamy,
~ least one hundred times over in his speech.
IL i, his object TO provoke some Of us To kick
him as w. would dog in the STREETS, that he
nav get .ympa,hy upon the just chastisemen'f
What is ,hr object of this denuncia,o ion against
the body of which We arr membsrs; q hundred
times he has called the Nebraska bill swim.
de an act Of infamy; and each time went on
10 illustrate the completely Of each man who
voted for il in pcrpetrating the crime. lie
has brought il home ~ personal charge To
those who passed The Nebraska bill, that they
were gHilty of a crime which deserved the Just
Indignation o' Heaven, and should make them
infamous among men.
