ueaIL TOT hlmsell, hnh any ulan Fho lusln-
uated to the contrary was not worthy Of u
place on this floor. nor would he he if he
had betrayed confidence and proved recre-
ant 10 all be lad heretofore said or done
lie appealed to heaven for the rectitude of
his intention. The Constitution was prac>
teal, though not in form submitted to the
people Of Kansas theyWould have a chance |
to kill it. He asked Mr.. Haskius whether |
there had been falsehood or recreancs on |
bis part.
Mr.. Haskin. l leave that TO the coun.
try to Judge.
Mr.. Cox with earnest and excited ges,
ticulations made a reply which was lost in
tie greatest possible confusion. The Speak
er loudly raped and said be would pro-
bibit it-any language approaching to per-
sonalities.
SIR. Adrain, amid cries Of order, hoped
Mr.. Haskin would give way for him to say
few words.
Mr.. Burnett, of Ky, loudly objected, as
did other gentleman. Amid the confusion
Mr.. Adrain raised bis voice to the highest
pitch and said no improper motives should
be attributed to Cox. From the first mo-
ment Of bis intercourse with him, he be-
lieyed him pure high minded, honorable
gentleman,and although Cox had changed
bis views on the subject, be had perfect
right to do so.
Mr.. Haskin gave his reasons why he
should vote against the report, and briefly
yindicated the remaining anti-Lecompton
Democrats. The submission of the Con.
stitution in the way proposed, was of
thimble rigging character, and an attompt
TO reach by indirect action what the South
should attempt directly. 1t was because
be wanted to see the Democratic party tri-
umphant in 1860, that he was against the
passage Of the bill, 8nd l2 or IS anti Le-
compton Democrats would oppose it TO the
end Tho demand for the previous ques.
ton was seconded (Yoices,now we'll have a
vote, order take, your seats, &c.) The
Speaker repeatedly raped and called toor-
der. During the roll call the House was
unusually quiet. Before the vote was an.
nounced. the Speaker requested that
there be no demonstration Of applause or
dissatisfaction. The result on adopting
the Kansas report was yeas / l2, days l03.
