Didsthe senator write that letter
Mr. WILSON. Will the senator allow me word on
that subject2 He has put categorical question am
ready to the question; but would like to put my
own construction on that letter.
Mr.. BROWN. Any construction the senator pleases

address that meeting. wrote that letter.
Mr.. BROWN. So thought
Mr.. WILSON. / agree to every word OF II now, as

with anything have uttered upon this hoor am OPP

where have the power Mr. Phillips the senator says
takes extreme views differ from him altogether in re-
gard to them He is gentleman of great talent and char
acer-in my opinion the greatest living orator on inns
the last twenty yearsand have heard the foremost ORA
tors of the country--that consider his equal.
MY idea is this want all men who are opposed 10
slavery to take moderate and reasonable position, to
abandon the extreme notions which those men entertain
oppose the extension osavery separate the federal
eminent from its connexion with it, Danish the negro DIS
cussions that having in these halls and leave slave
ry the slave States where the constitution leaves IT.
TO the care OF the people oil those several STATES
that when that Is done the liberal JUST men
of the South will in their own time and In their own way
bring about safe emancipation. That Is my view OF the
matter II was so then, and is 30 now. At,
Mr. BROWN. Well, Mr.. President, the senator admits
that he wrote the letter My charge was, that there was
an attempt the part of these republican senator's to get
up political marriage with the apoitonls's anu se ae
denied the charge and at great pains in his speech
