vented the Senator from declaring what he knew
sepse of honor should have prevented him from In

and contempt, while he hissed forth bis words with
emphasip An audible murmur Of applause ran over
the Senate and around the gallery circle at bis reply

pied in reference to the Lecompton Constitution it
was very evident thai tie personal illusions Of Mr..
