red themselves in refusing to carry out the

Suit, in a few remarks, suggested to
Wallace that he was young man, and
the illusions he made to the Senator from
Wayne, who was an old man, in reference
to the charges against him published in
the Sentinel, were not becoming in one OF
his [Wallace'sl years. His gray hairs
should have protected him from any such
language as Wallace had thrown at Mr.
Burke. Tho denial by Burke and Var
yam should have been sufficient for Wal
lace, until other and different proof was
brought forth.
Wallace, in replying to the charge Of
illegal voting made against the Democrat
10 party, took occasion to refer to the tes-
timony published in the Sentinel in refer
cnce to the election in Rush County, in
which Messrs. Burke and Yaryan were
implicated
In reviewing the history Of parties,
which other members had drawn into the
debate, he declared himself an old Henry
Clay Wing, and paid a handsome compli-
ment to the memory Of the Sage Of Ash
land.
March made little speech, in which
there was considerable mirth. He was in
favor Of tho democratic party bringing
forth fruits meet for repentance, and when
they had given signs of contrition, he had
no doubt tho Moral Instructor Mr..
Woods] would shrine their souls, and in
due timo fit them to DO received in tho
old Jeifersonian Republican party, with
which no was proud to act.
Murray replied to tho lecture which no

Of his acts, and the gentleman from Mont
gomery could take care Of himself, before

Brown said he would vote for tho rcso-

on Joint Rules, that he would meet tho
