conservative men7 Look at his record Inc sens,
torial election was the first asrm-gun, or the frst
flag which 6ut'ered at the mast-head as sigma
OF distress. He lKeitt) need not be tod that
some few tricky men were bought. IL uue
man was not elected il either because Of dere-
LECTION of duty on the part of national men, because
they were in minority In the Legislature He
did not speak Of these things with pleasure, nor
mean 10 compromise the fE;dre for the tranquility of

The Irresistible tendency Of events was to sectional or
CARNATIONS. He did not agree with bis friends to

paves the way for H. other doctrine that property,

down. Slavery agitation, far from being crushed
out by the late election, has been increased Slavery
existed prior to law old rs the Institution OF
marriage or the individuality of property. 1t did not
rice from cOmpacis violence but grew up like any
other rudimentay institution lie argued that II was
the very foundation Of Of the glory and refinement OF
Athens and Rome. Although the Ethiopian has, for
five thousand yesrs, been IN contact win superior
civilization he is a savage STILL He repeated, that
there was tendency in affairs for the formation of
geographical parties which would lead TO dissolution
of the Union and in this connection showed the power
and of the South contendng that che able
10 sAye her soil from invasion and conquest aud her
flag from dshOnor. The Southmust and will expand;
she will carry her Institutions into the surrounding

Mr.. BLISS said that Mr.. Keitt had succeeded in
showing that from the earliest period of the world 1t
had been subject to lpne and bOOdshed and account
ed for the fact He had been successful in showing
that those brisst little republics to which he auded
soon fell and faded from existence because their inst
tutors we're founded force and injustice rather than
on law ard also that the world had progt ssed in
civilization all portions, except his beloved South, are
turning their atienrrn to the amehoration Of labor
Mr. STANTON remarked thai 1t seemed TO him that
the Committee ought to determine whether it would do
business or not he therefore raised the point The re-
marks of Mr.. Bliss were not pertinent to the question
no = pending. He preferred making this point for his
personal friend.
MIR. GIDDINGS hoped that the gentleman from the
North would undertake TO apply gag when freedom
Of speech was INDUCED in the opposite side OF the
Chamber.
The CHAIRMAN mr.. Washburn Of Me was under
the impression FIAT 1t had been recently ruled that
general discussion out of order. lie decided that
Mr. Bliss should coDne himself to the question pending
Mr.. WADE appealed from the decision, which the
Committee Oveirued. 49,
