Der Of Congress, and lie took the report as
the best he could get.
The gentleman from n. Y. did not insinu-
ate that he was Judas. That gentleman
knew full well that no one from the admins
TRITON or any other source had dared to ap-
proach him on that subject. Uoughtcr On
the Republican side.) He had acted with an
honest min and pure heart for himself and
any man who insinuated to the contrary was
not worthy Of place ON this floor; nor would
he be if he had betrayed confidence and
proved recrcant to all he had heretofore said
or done. He appealed to Heaven for the
!ecttute Of his intention. TIL, constitution
was practical, and though not in form sub
mitted to the people of Kansas, they would
have chance to kill it.
He asked Mr. Haskin whether there had
been falsehood or recreancy on his part.

to judge.

would prohibit any language approaching to
personalities.

Haskin wodld give way for Inn to say few
words.
Mr.. Burnett of Kentucky loudly objected,
as did others.
Amid the confusion, Mr.. Adrian raised his
voice to the highest pitch, and said no impro-
per motive should be attributed to Mr.. Cox.
From the first moment of his intercourse
with him he believed him pure, high mind
ed, honorable gentleman, and although Mr..
Cox had changed Lis views on the subject
he had a perfect right 10 do so.
Mr.. IIaskin gave his reasons why he should
vote against the report, and briefly vindcated
the remaining anti-Lecompton Democrats.
The submission of the Constitution in the
way proposed was of thimble rigging char
acter, and all attempt to reach by indirect
action what the South should attempt direct
ly. 1t was because he wanted to see the
the Democratic party triumphant in 1860
that he was against the passage Of the bill,
and II or l3 anti-Lecompton Democrats
would oppose it to the end.
The demand for the precious question was
seconded.
