SPEECH OF NEW MEXICAN IN CONGRESS -
The Hon. Miguel A. Otero, in whose favor the
contested seat in the House of Representative
~ delegate from New Mexico was decided last
week, concluded a speech in his own behalf in the
following eloquent strain:
plant my hopes upon no party platform
seek aid from NO party sources: rest my claims
upon its merits-upon truth, upon justice, and
upon that sentiment which will respect the sove-
reign will of New Mexico, whese son / am; for /
am u native there, and to the manor born. /
come here, not as q successful advepturer from
the restess waters of political speculation; come
because my people sent me. / shall only return
to them when yOr reject me, But whatever your
action may be. 1 shall never cease to belle, and
promulsate the sentiments / have always enter.
tanned, that the brightest and happiest day that
ever dawned upon New Mexico was that on which
she was annexed to this Union. And here, as
have there, congratulate her most heartily upon
the happy event; aud hope that she, wheeling in
the line of her adopted sister Territories and fol-
lowing in the train of this bright constellation Ct
States, shall, by strict observance of the consttu
tution-by proper devotion to the principles of
liberty-by keeping step to the music of the
Union, present, in the future of America, no mean
glory, or cause her sister States to blush either
for her want of fidelity to the bond of Union. or
the patriotism and virtue that make ysu one and
indissouble.

Of Oxford, son Of wilberforce. the Aboltionist.

confirm the children Of the parishioners but his
Lordahip was not received I'm the most aatterins
manner, according to correspondent, who writes
as follows:
While Mr.. Liddell and his seven curates were
waiting for him under the porch, the Bishop and
his Chaplain approached the church on foot. and
a. soon As he reached It's gate large body Of the
inhabitants assailed him with cries Of "Why don't
you 60 to Rome and join your brothersi" mo
Popery." "No Oxford Popery" "No traitors In the
church The Bishop greatly agitated, turned round
and addressed them, which only increased the
confusion, and Mr.Liddeli approached him, and
bis chaplain, taking bis arm, led him up the church
yard IS the vestry. followed by parting volley
OF groans and Misses, which seemed 10 parayzs the
clerical party. Nor did matters end here. Even
Mr. Liddell and his friends thought it prudent
that the ceremony should not be concluded, As in.

found himself under the necessity of departing
from the sacred building under the patronage of

The Kansas Debate in the Senate

Mr.. Butler occupied Tue attention of
the Senate, and crowded gallery, on
yesterday, i'll his concluding remarks in
reply TO NJ. %umner. We have not I'm.
lertaken to. give a synopsis Of this great
speech, because it is our purpose, MS Scon
as possible, to send it entire TO all of our
lea !crs, II it could he di>passionalclv
read by all northern men, it would pro.
cme an overwhelming judgment Of con-
Len nation against Mr.. Sumner. When
,ue excitement that now prevails shall
have subsidized, it will command Tie admi-
raticn Of thousands who are now mislcd
py the temporary feelings ofpussion which
designing demagogues have cxcitcd.-
There were passages il it which will COM
pare with the loiticst efforts of genius and
cIoIuence, III ancient or modern times.
Mr.. Butler spoke under great excite
mcnt, but he succeeded so far in rerress.
irg az restraining his feelings as to main
tain throughout All the proprie,ics and
sourtec;cs OF senatorial debate. His re.
marks on the freedom Of debate, the priv.
i'eges Of a Senator, his obligations not to
abuse his privileges, his responsibility for
sucn abuse, and the consequences of sena.
toral libels, will be read with profound ad-
miration. In the course OF his remarks he
quoted with powerful effect the celebrated
sentiment of General jackson, when he
said that it ought to be written in letters
Of gold over each door of each hodse Of
Congress, that "the slandercr is worse than
lhe murderer"
MIR. Wilson attempted a reply TO Mr..
Hutlc", and spent most of his time in quo
ting and commenting upon expressions Of
Mr.. Butler IN several speeches made from
1852 down to the present time. His ob.
ject was to slow that Mr. Butler had been
the aggressor, and tha, Mr.. Summers
speech was lomitmatclv reply to these
aggrcSSions. tntortunately ,hr Mr. VIII
son, however; Mr.. Summers speech was Il
reply to speeches of Mr.. Butler during the
present session; and vet Mr.. Butler had
shown that in no spec h at this es ion had
lie spoken to, or Of, or about Mr.. Sumner
IN any way. In reply to Mr. Wilson, this
act was brought forward hy Mr.. Butler
with crushing force, showing conclusivcly
that Mr.. Summers speech was made with
malice aforethought, and to crafty woun-
led pride Which had been rambling lDr
lnnr years.
Mr.. Clay, Of Alabama, called the attcn-
ton Of Mr.. Wilson to an aIusion in his re-
narks to himself, and asked him if he
taent thereby to insult himl Mr.. Wilson
replied that, willis: he intended strongly to
condemn II former remark of Mr. Clay, he
did not intend TO insult him. Mr. Clay
expressed himself satisfied, and then pro-
eeeded in a brief but eloquent speech to
vIndIcate the correctness OF the remark TO
which Mr Wilson had taken exceptoa.-
Lis remark had been applied specifically
to certain Senators (Mr. Wilson not beng
one Of them) who had INDUCED in express
sIons in regard to The crime of slavchold-
ers which were personally Offensive
