He indoned the assertion OF his colleague and woud

population. He was opposed to the whole system OF
Slavery and Inequality, but South Carolina e sove.
reign State, and part Of his country. 1, VA. true
and more than true tina, South Caron. was in
beetle during the Revolutionary war; as alleged by
bis colleague mr. Sumnerl. He could prove this
by the correspondence OF gentlemen Of S,utb
Carolins who asked that she be relieved from her
portion Of the burden, because it was necessary or
men to stay at home to keep the negroes in order AZ
TO Mr. Buffers remark that South Carolina poured out
bocsheads Of blood in the Revolution, where N .sss
chusetts only shed gallons in that contest il loose
absurd and ridiculous, and q full justification Of Mr..
Summers assertion that be Butler was loose in his
EXPIRE ssous and liable to error Mr. Sumner was not,
"a the Senator from South Carolina had asserted the
aggressor as he mr.. Wilson, would show from the
record Of Mr.. Buffers speech about four years ago.
Also. when Mr.. Sumner proposed to repeal the Fusi-
tive Slave law Mr.. Butler objected to his being a.
lowed to introduce his resolution, and asked him Sum
nerl tauntingly if he wanted 10 make an orstorcA
display. The remark designed 10 wound the SEN
sibiltes Of a new member and TO bring on those who
advocate liberty and laughter but which taunts
men are now learning TO regard with scorn. He Mr..
Wilson, chape Mr.. Butler with being the aggresor,
saving he had assailtd Mr.. Sumner before the latter
had uttered word the floor Of the Senate. Mr..
Wilson quoted from the speeches of Mr. Butler since
that period showing that the latter bad applied to Mr..
Sumner such phrases as "plunging agitator; rhet-
orcal advocate"; 1t seems to me, if he (Sumner)
" wished to write poetry, he would get negro to
" sit for him." pseudo philanthropy" professions Of
philanthropy of adoption more than of affection"
machinery oiled with Northern fanaticism etc
Now. Mr. Wilson thought bis colleague ght
when he said that the Senator from South Carolina
was one of the chieftains of Sectonasm at with
the fundamental ideas which underie our Democratic
institutions ard at war with the repose and harmony
of the country He Butler, in his first speech in reply
to Mr.. Sumner made five assaults on Massachusetts,
stating among other things that she was governed by
" sickly sentmentalty" was an Anti Negro State"
&C. He defended Massachusetts, and the action OF ts Lee
gislature regarding the assault Mr.. Sumner saying.
IN conclusion they had had quite enough OF this
serted superiority, social and political from Southern
Senators The South did not bold over HIN the plan
ta,ion whip. lie should speak his sentiments freely.
and moro freely because bis colleague had been stricken
down for words spoken IN debate, and because there
those who claim the right to question Senators for
words spoken in debate.
Mr. BUTLER said be did rot blame Mr.. Wilson for
taking his colleagues part but when he Wilson, went
back to those old reports, previous to June, "a, 1t
made him Butler think what he should be sorry to
suppose, nsmelythat mortified vanity, arising from
former conflicts had been the of this last assault
of Sumner upon him and his State. The Senator Sum
ner in his affidavit did not say was that. mortified
yapy but that what he uttered was in reply to his
(Buters speeches of this session. Consequently his
colleague could not back and recaptulate these old
speeches. for they were long since forgotten in COM
me1tipg on the Revolutionary service Of South Caro-
lima, MI Butler asked Mr.. Wilson how many battles
MASSACHUSETTS, had fought in the Revolution
Mr. WILSON replied they were but few, because
the enemy considered il safer to go to South Carolina
Massachusetts, had met them at Concord Lexington
Bunker Hill, and the flights of Dorchester and
would have met them elsewhere, but the enemy took
good care to keep sst of the State. Mr. Wilson, in
continuation, said, that the charge made by Mr. Clay
that the Northern Senators fawned upon Southern
Senators when permitted to make their acquaintance.
was one he had no right to make.
Mr. CLAY, in reply, said the charge he had made
was Just this: that men from the North would come
here and court the acquaintance Of Southern Soma
tors He did not charge Senator Wilson with such
conduct but there were those who agreed with Mr..
Wilson in opinion that did 80, and he regarded a.
No fair minded, honest straightforward man would be
guilty of such conduct
Mr. EVANS obtained the floor, and the Senate
adjourned till Monday.
