The mover of the resolution for the special COM
mittee was made chairman, of course in accordance
with parliamentary usage. The Speaker being him
self from the southern section Of the Union, the
northern section was literally allowed nine mem
bers against six allotted to the South The domi-
nant political party in the House was allowed but
seven members while the deserving democrats were
allowed two. The black-republican party were
given five members which, with the two deserving
democrats, gave the coalition seven, and pnt them
even in number with the dominant democracy of the
House. The casting vote and balance power of
the committee was given, not to the dominant party
in the House, who were the especial champions Of
the Lecompton measure, but to member of the
American party who favorable to the subject
matter referred.
Upon this statement Of the facts Of tho case, we
are perfectly willing to submit the fairness and fdel
ity of Speaker Orrs conduct to the candid judgment
of the country. He has done his duty in the letter
and in the spirit, in his appointment of this commit
tee and it is precisely by having done that he
has excited the rage and extorted the howls of 30
