Hale and Biyler.

During the debate IN the Senate on the
18th OF May, on the appropriation for gar
den seeds, MIR. HALE made the following
humorous speech:
Mr.. Hale. 1t is very rarely, sir. that a
debate in the Senate is intended to in
iiuence the action of members here. but
1t is made to enlighten the country /
confess. however, that this debate has
enlightened my mind. / was at first in
clined to go against this appropriation,
bnt the considerations which have been
urged with SO much force by the Senator
from pennsylvania, i confess, have weak
ened my convictions In that direction
and have almost induced me to go for it !.
If the appeal which he so powerfully and
pathetically made to the honorable Sen
ator from Georgia has not moved him. he
must be impervious to cloquence and to
pathos.
think that the case which the Senator
from Pennsylvania has presented is emf
nently just. agree entirely with what
he says, when he declares that in his
course here he has not been looking to
popularity. think that the whole North.
Pennsylvania no less than any other part
of the Union, will endorse his vcracity, if
nothing else, when he declares that he
has not been seeking popularity; and
when he appeals to the Senator from
Georgia, and tells him what a hard road
the Northern Democrats have had to tray-
ell, how much they had to sacrifice and TO
face; and then ask if, in return for all this
he cannot let him have a few onions and
garlic seeds, laughter, / confess, if the
Senator from Georgia was not moved, l
was. Laughter. think it is reason
enable, and more than reasonable, even if
he had asked for little of the vegetable
full grown. But when he says. Look at
the North, and see on every side, and hear
by every mail, proof that we have not pan
dered to popularity; see what we have suf
iered in your behalf; when you see all that. |
and see that we are not exhorbitant, we
do not ask any offices; take your foreign
missions and distribute them where they
belong; take the Federal |
Treasury, and use it; but when we 60 home |
to an outraged constituency, will you be /
so illlberal as to not let us carry few on |
ion seeds, a little garlic and now and then
cabbage, Laughter, so that our constit-
uency may be inclined to wink little at i
the course we have taken on this great
question. upon which we have sacrificed so
much for you?" l confess that even if l I
had such strict rules as the Senator from
Georgia entertains upon tie Constitution.
when such an appeal as that came from
such a source, the fright bower Of the
Administrations. not asking to take the
ACE or anything else. but simply a

Hon. John G.. Davis. Of Indiana.

The night before the late Democratic
Congressional Convention, at Terrc Haute,
Ind, by which Hon Jno. G. Davis was
repudatel, John G. made speech, which
was sharp and to the point. We find the
following report of it in the Terre Hautc
Express:
lie said the Administration had aban-
doned the cardinal doctrines of the Dem.
oaratic party and Of the Cincinnati Plat
form. He denounced the President and
his policy, Jesse ID, Bright, and the doc
trines contained in his speech. He said
had he been compelled to choose between
the original Lecompton bill and the En-
glish bribe, he would infinitely have
preferred the former, because it was a fair.
open. independent determination to take
from the people of Kansas, their right of
self government, but the other was a mean.
cowardly, unfair, hypocritical proposition
to steal from them this right. He said he
would stand now and forever upon plat
form of Popular Sovereignty, even if all
his former friends deserted him, and If his
old enemies acted with him, he would not
thereby ostracise them. He said he would
speak respectfully of the Republican party.
and would not object to them acting with
him. He said, if the position he assumed
divided the Democratic party, he could
not help it. he would, nevertheless. stand
where he then stood He was in favor of
peace, but he would never have it, unless
1T was honorable, and the Administration
was much mistaken if it expected him to
bend his knee, or to be read ont of the
Democratic party. He hurled defiance in
its teeth and asked for no quarters. and iii
compromise had to come, it must come
from the fountain head. If the President
intended to use the dccapitating knife, he
had not the right to expect peace among
Democrats.
de said the first question now asked at
Washington of an applicant for office, was,
arc you sound on tls Lecompton and Eng
lish bills? In this district, Postmasters
had been removed for no other reason than
circulating his anti-Lecompton speech
he referred to the recent action of the Lc-
Convention in Illinois, and asked
Democrats if that looked like harmony. or
was seeking for peace He said the time
had come and now was, when a blind ad-
hesion to party drill, when that party was
wrong, was to be more feared-was more
terrible IN its consequence and more fatal
in Its results than the question of slavery
ever was. And he concluded by saying.
that if he was a candidate for Congress
again it must be on the express understand
this, and no other, that he was

Sauce Eor the Goose.

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gahder," sats the old proverb. We
hardly illustrate this in our regard for the
Chinese. We are parties to crusade for
forcing the political and commercial canons
ofChristendcm upon the resisting Celestial.
We insist, with others, upon setting foot
upon his soil whether he is willing or not.
Yet how do we treat him in return? Out
there upon the Pacific, our people. usually
SO generous and just, propose to exclude
the Chinaman from our soil. Not an arm
ed Chinaman, coming hither to impose on
us destructive and hateful trade-not an
obtrusite Chinaman, with novel codes and
strange habits for our acceptance, but q
most peaceable, timid. mind -his-own- -bu-
siness Chinaman, coming to dig the mines,
till the fields, pay his taxes, obey the laws,
and in most ways-quite as much as the
average of best-class Christian white men
Ito make himself good citizen. This
Is the Chinaman that is threatened with ex-
pulsion from our Pacific territory. Most
unjust. intolerant and outrageous, is this
banning of the Celestial-unjust and out
rageous of itself. and trebly so considering
our attitude as claiming foothold and free
dom oftrade in the homeland of the Chi
naman. We are not doing the decent,
Christian thing-not doing as we would
have others do unto us. Let us give the
Celestial as much as we ask of him-let us
not play the part of big bully and keep
all the chances. We are rich and strong
enough to do the fair thing, and this is the
only thing that will rebound to our credit
and welfare in the long run.-N. y Led

A (,uu Sulked,

| The democrat hadn't word 30 say last
week about Irish cattle" or "lop -eare,l
Dutch" Is that gun spiked9
! We were in hopes of hearing something
further from that source in regard to the
friendship OF the Shamocratic party to-
ward foreigners. The extracts we publish
ell last week from their newspapers and
the speeches of their congressman, show
pretty concIusirely the feeling now enter
tanned by the leaders of that party toward
our adopted citizens. They stigmatisc all
laborcrs as "the mul-sillS of society" and
! associate Germans and Irish in the same
class with negroes Wherever the Ger
mans and Irish refuse to be longer hood
winked by them, and advocate the cause OF
freedom, they are freely and openly de-
uounced by Shamocrats in such elegant
terms as damned Dutch,' Ignorant
horde" &c &c
The refusal of the same party in Oregan
to permit Chinese to reside even in that
State affords additional proof that the par
ty is prepsring for a change OF tactics to-
ward foreigners If they can succeed in
establishing the precedent that the Chinese
may be driven ont of the country, what is
to prevent the application of the same prin-
ciplc to the Germans and Irish? 1t is
we'll known that Southern Democrats en-
tcrtain strong prejudice toward those two
last mentioned classes on account of their
favoring the cause of frce-labor; and the ia
cility with which Northern doughfaces
change their principles to accord with their
Southern brethren, is equally well under
stood. We admit that the Chinese may
be "besotted and ignorant race" but is
there not sufficient virtue and intelligence
among us as a people, not only to prevent
any evil consequences resulting from their
presence, but to elevate them by contact
and association? We believe them to be
human beings and susceptible of elevation,
and therefore regard it as not only unwise
and unjustigable to shut our doors against
them, but also most dangerous precedent.
1t has been our boast that America was an
asylum for the oppressed and down tfod-
den of all nations, but the Shamocry have
discovered that the oppressed and down
trodden of the old world do not make the
most facile subjects for the propagation
and spread of slavery, and hence their de-
sire to inaugurate new doctrine.
Adopted citizens every where are begin
ming to appreciate the hollow and hypo-
critical professions of Shamocracy, and are
turning away from it with loathing aud
disgust. The Republican party is pure,
healthy and vigorous organization, battling
heroically for the dignity and respectable
ty OF free-labor, and opposed to proscri
bing any man on account of his birth place
