Chairman in the discussion upon this subject ON this
floor, have been convinced against my preconceved
notions of Southern honor and integrity, that none OF
the principles measures Of the Democratic party,
from the time Of jefferson down to the present have
any importance in their eyes compared with tue ad-
vocacy of the extension of Slavery. | have beheld.
upon this floor the Southern Know Nothings with
scarcely exception, embracing the Democrats from
the Slave States in urging the acceptance OF this Ie-
compton Constitution. II this question Obllterates
party lines in the South upon the of pecuniary

not with propriety be followed by the Representa-
tives on this floor from the Free States, especially in
case when the fundamental principle of popular

States and our national Government Is sought TO he

been forced to believe from what have seen here,

What q change, MIR. Chairman, has come over the
spirit OF the dream of the President within few
months Well do remember reading the sulphurous
letter from one OF the Repre- sentaves of the South
in which lie treated the venerable Executive of the
country as a parslytic, weak, old man. Well do l
remember the resolutions adopted in Georgia. Ala.
bams and Mississippi denouncing Gov. Walker, and
menacng the Executive for his instructions to him,
and because he did not remove him for honestly re-
pudiatipg the Oxford and MCGEE frauds. Shortly
after Congress assembled we discovered the President
uniting with those who had denounced him, aud for
.akpg nearly all the friends who had nominated and
elected him. We beheld him entering upon a crusade
of persecution and ostracism against his original
friends who had the honesty to maintain the prin.
ciples upon which he was elected.
