american Patriot.
He speaks like a true national know Moth
ing" silent, but powerful" And Mr. Caru-
Tiers, of Missouri, an old Clay wing, in
speech on the 9th of February, in giving his
reasons why he did not and would not vote
for this silent, but powerful know nothing ma
tional, Fuller, said:
II desire to state at this time, and in the
present connection. in order that what re-
mark may go out with the observations of
my colleague and friend-and am proud to
call him such-the reasons why have not,
do not, and never will, vote for the distin-
guished gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr.
Henry NJ. Fuller) could not vote for
Mr.. Fuller-and believe that we are al
lowed to call members by their proper
names before the organization-beca
while member of the last Congress,
knew, and now remember, that throughout
the kansas-N ebraska fight, in Every stage
of the trying contest, his predecessor, the
Hon. Hcndrick B. Wright, stood fast by
us-was one Of MS; and. sir, before | had
cast a vote | found that the distinguished
gentleman from Pennsylvania FULLER had
come here as his successor, from democrat
ic district, and because Of his triumph over
Mr. Wright in consequence of his vote on
the Kansas-Nebraska bill at the last session.
could not vote for him, then, on the first
vote. When the first vote was taking,
watched its progress, because many of the
gentlemen with whom | was previously as
sociatcd were disposed to vote for Mr.. Full
Ter. In that very first vote, when we were
casting our votes for the purpose of making
up record, and when he had the entire
House from which to select, saw that gen.
tleman throw his suffrage for Mr. Penning-
ton, of New jersey. | remembered then
that at the last Congress Mr.. Pennington
had voted to suspend the rules with a view
of alfording Mr.. Elliot, of Massachusetts,
an opportunity to introduce bill to repeal
the fugitive slave law.
"When Mr.. Fuller could take q North.
ern or a Southern man--when he could SC.
lcct conservative man for whom to cast
his vote-I saw him vote for man who
had been in favor of allowing the privilege
to introduce bill to repeal the fugitive
slave law. l could not vote for him, Mr.
Pennington, on that vote, voted for Mr.
: Campbell, of Ohio, gentleman, by-the-by
for whom entertain, as he knows, the most
profound respect personally, but whom | re
gard as the embodiment of Northern senti
ment on the slavery question. Another vote
was had. Mr.. Fuller voted for Mr.. Pen
nington, aud Mr.. Pennington, when he
cast his third vote, voted for Mr.. Banks, c
!, Massachusetts,, who is not only the cmbodi

: Northern Rcpnblicanism, Mr.. Pennington
5 voted for Banks upon that ballot, and Mr.
Fuller voted for Mr.. Pennington after he
: had voted for Mr.. Banks, and for sixteer
times. sat in my scat and saw Mr.. Full
Ter, after Mr. Pennington had voted for Mr.
Campbell and Mr.. Banks, and cast his vote
sixteen times for Mr.. Pennington. Could
