hat election the more earnestly shall we call upoo
you not to uphold and enforce With your bayone,.
the usurpston thus covered with the fs.lcaves Of
law"
Msjor Oliver wss very zeAloas and vehement ia
defense of the character OF his constituents as
Peseeful, upright, hw-abiding people No doubt
4 majority Of them are so. But these stay quiet
b in tLeir homes and suffer a minority to commit
outrazes of which savages should be ashamed.
Double.s, three.fOulths ofMsjor 0. 5 constituents
were AZ home mindirg their business when the
Border Ruiians were filling the bsllot-boIes OF
harsa- at tie point Of the bowie.knise So they
were when the Office Of The ParLeills Lsmirsry
was demolished because that paper ailed to SYM
psthize with BOIder Rufiansm. So they were
again when Lesyenworth was filed with armed
Mssourians on the day Of the Constitutional Flee
ton. and the ballot-boxes were seized and de-
.troyed by them. So they were again when Col.
Delahay's press At LeavenwOrth was destroyed by
a similar Missouri mob. The very quiet and
pesceful bearing OF the larger and better portion
Of community is one element Of impunity to its
ruiiians.
Mr.. CuMBAcK Of Indians followed Msj. O.. in 3
speech excellent alike in matter and manner. II
was one of the very few speeches l ever heard
that would have been better if longer. Bat il had
the true ring in ii and excited general regret On
our side that Mr. C. does not incline to speak often
Mr.. Cullen of Delaware followed, and dsap-
pointed the House by making really good arga-
msnt on the Whitfield side. True, il was the sams
thing over again-Reeder is estoPped-Congress
cannot 20 behind the acts of the Kansas Legisla
ture. sc. He spoke too low and unmpressiby.
but his argument was as well got up a. any that
has been made on that side
PERCY Waller of Alabama followed on the
same side, and spoke well but the argument has in
fact been exhausted. 1t might all be condensed
into column. He gave way without concluding.
and the House, after allowing several bills, memo
rails, resolves Of State Legislatures, Nc., to be
presented and referred adjourned.
Sometime prior to this, however, Mr.. PHELPS
of Missouri got the floor and moved that when the
House shall adjourn it adjourn to Monday; and this
motion prevailed with but feeble oppostion-tho
Yeas aud NAYS not even being called for.
earnestly protest not so much against the ad-
iournment over, though think that was wrong. as
against allowing the Pro-slayery party to lead the
House as they habtually do in such matters. Oar
side has the Speaker and the leading Committees;
thew have the laborng oar with regard to Kansas
and all the great questions. The other side want
Nothing done for Kansas; they have Whitfield il
the seat. with Shannon as Governor, Pierce de-

SAYS: Let me alone, and III silence the
Free-State majority in Kansas or hang them as
traitors" Our course, then, needs action in Con-
gress and suffers by delay; why, then, do our
friends let Letcher, or Stephens, or Phelps, adjourn
the House Why adjourn over on their motions
Why not say, We have made l.. ID. Campbell
leader of the House, and we will never vote to id
iourn until he or the Chairman Of the Committee
of Elections moves it ?" If ii is moved on the
other side call the Yeas and Nays and vote No; if
the two Pro-Slavery parties choose to rally all
their forces and vote US down. that relieves US
from responsibility in the premises. AS to Com
mittee-work, it can all be done betwixt 10 and II
