to reply
Mr.. Campbell. Then we shall "meet { Phi
lippi." and discuss this question where d rules
of this House do not apply. A.,
Mr.. Hsskin, of New York, had supposed his
colleague Mr.. Clark would be well enough to
give the House and the county the views OF
the anti Lecompton DEMOCRATS. who gill re,
manned true to their position; but as he aas not
able. he (Mr. H. would say eon ething il reply
to the gentleman from Ohio, Ne. Cox, and in
relation to the letter from him tshich hs 4 been
read. On Monday last, the gentleman fro . Ohio
came to his tMr. H.'s) desk, anG resd letter,
addressed, he believed, to fhe D aio Sta .sman,
denouncing the report of the committee of con.
ference as the most infamous that O old be
made, and denouncing the chfirman 4 that
committee for having made the report.
Mr.. Cox denied that the letter contain d such
denunciations.
Mr.. Florence, of Pennsyiyansa, and others,
called the gentleman from New York I, order.
Mr.. Haskin said he was sim(ly refel ing to
facts, in order to show when the fentlem 4 from
Ohio obtained new light.
Mr.. Houston, of Alabama, Unlisted t ct the
gentleman's remarks were not fertinen to the
bill before the House.
Mr.. Cox hoped he would have an eppc tunity
to reply.
Mr.. Haskin desired to say, eurther, sat on
Tuesday night following he met the ger )eman
from Ohio, when he again denCaneedt Q con-
ference report. Cries of "order."
The Speaker said that tbe gsntlema must
see that his remarks assumed persona char
acter, and were not admissible.
MIR. Haskin was not imputing motis 0; be
was only giving facts Cries of "order, " (Which
could be proved.
Mr.. Houston insisted upon his quea On oil
order, and that the gentleman ffou5 Mex York
be required to take his seat.
The Speaker hoped the gentleman woe pro
coed in order.
Mr.. Haskin said, of the twenty three G gina
so-cslled Anti,Lecompton Democrats. only
about twelve--the number of the Apo tjes-
remained, determined to insist 10 the lar., and
maintain their principles and their bono
de agreed with the gentleman from issis
sippi, Mr.. Quitman, that there WAS q D. 5mis
sion to the people in effect. There was "a al
tentative proposition, by which they coul, ,ome
in under Lecompton, or stay out inde6 tely
The submission was of thimble-riggin, char
acter--an attempt to do by indirection vi It the
South should only do directly; and it did ot by
direct means attain the end which, ss sorth-
ern man, he would like to have attained But
his great bjsction was, that by the alte, ative
proposition the North was degraded, wh @ the
South was dishonored. While 10000 mel voted
against Lecompton last January, he co, d see
no reason for debarring them in The futm from
voting for Constitution to carry out their
views. While the freemen of thu North eatly
outnumbered the freemen of ths Soui and
while, in the last Presidential election, bout
three millions of votes were cast In the N tn to
one million in the South, he could see no JASON
why Northern white men, if they behaved hem
selves, were not just as good as Southe, men
in the Territories. If this proposition : car.
ried through, the Democratic pNty Not was
disbsnded, and it was because hN desirec 0 see
the party triumph in 1860 that lie opposx this
bill. In what he had said he hsd not destgned
to give offence to any man, but simply 4 state
facts for the vindication of the twelve :, thir.
teen Northern Anti Lecompton Oemocrax. who
opposed. Herenewed the call for the pr, gious
question.
The previous question was seconded ,hout
