The ante rooms and down the steps OF The Cnpl-
lol? Why not pursue ma into tile arenue-in-
10 The sieamboat--to my plantations! take
the gentlemen who have labored for my expul-
sion on their own declaration. They are COM
m;lrd TO it, and they cannot now cvade it. They
say that NY responsibility is not because of any
offence c0mmillcd in the presence of or TO this
House. bu; because Of the general and necessary
authority which the House has over its members.
Now it seems 10 me That. if my responsibility
10 this House fur IN offence committed else
where is because of my membership, it is q log
caI conclusion that my responsibility ceases
when that relation is dissolved. Whether or not
the authority OF The Senae reaches me after my
relations TO this House have terminated, it is not
for nc now to inquire, but, in justice TO myself,
take occasion TO say to the country, that it the
Senate take that view, shall recognise lis au-
horily. Now, sir, let me inform the honorable
members who lave been pursuing me 50 lierrciy,
that my present attitude WAS lung since foreSeen,
and that | AIN altogether prepared for any of It's
emergencies. I knew will, whom had TO deal,
and my resignation has been for more than ten
days in The hands Of the Governor of Sunth Car
oIiia, 10 take eject lie very instant that an
nuunce my resignation upon this floor But, be-
fore make The announcement, desire to say n
word ur Two in reference to what has been said
Of Inc in debate and elsewhere. SAW in some
of the New York papers that Il certain feminine
gentleman from that State Mr.. Morgan had
applied to me The term ",ilain." We'll, that
was not u word spoken in debate" and only
alludr to it to advertise the indignant gentleman
that hayr seen tie word, ard know that it WIS
spoken IN New York, and not here in debate.
He need not bc much alarmed aud, if lie will
"Iuld s;i!l' when get hold Of him, III not hurt
Inn much; and this is all that can say about
that matter here.
Your amiaLle colleague, (Mr Knapp0 who
WAS presented 10y his constituents with II revnr-
er Intended for my particular benefit, yesterday
declared that Massachusetts would :" lake her
own time and place" 10 resent wllat he and she
both pronounced TO be IN insult and injury. l
do not intend, Mr. Speaker, 10 utter an offensive,
unkind or even Il rough word to that gentleman
for he is 4 gentleman, socially, know-Out
wish to say This TO him, that will never plead
the statute of limitations in bar of the wrath of
Ma. sachusetts.
On Yesterday, however. we had violent dem
