The weekly Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1854-1861, 1858-05-06

Ohio Statesman, deno1ncing the report of
the Committee Of Conference as the most
infamous that could be made, and denounc.
ing the Chairman for having made such
report. .I,s.. -g.lBt
Mr.. Cox, earne estly-That Is not true.
Mr.. Haskin-I can prove it by the gen.
tTeman from Illinois.
Mr.. Cox-I can furnish the letter. Cries
of order. MI
The Speaker requested the gentlemen to
take their seats. He also reminded Mr..
Ha skin that his remnrks were assuming
personal character. He could give reasons
for or against the bill, but not indulge in
personalities. n-'
Mr.. Haskin said that he was simply giving
facts in connection with the Lecompton
fraud, and could prove what be had stated.
Twenty. three Democrats stated out against
the Senate bill, and only twelve we're left,
edual to the number of the Apostles. The
gentleman from Ohio had seen new light,
and he asked him to give it to the country.
Mr.. Cox replied that he had stated yester'
day that his ftst impression was against the
Conference report, and he now repested that
it did not entirely meet his views. In his
letter to the Ohio Statesman, he gave his
opinion and objections; at that time his best
Impressions we're against the report, becoGse
he thought it Disseminated against free and
in favor of slave States, but he had confer
red with Gov. Walker, and on learning
from him that Kansas will next fall have
population sufficient under the federal ratio
for member OF Congress, and took the re.
port al the best he could get. The gentle
man from New, York should not insinuate
that he was Judas; that gentleman knew
| full well that no one frcm the Administra-
tion, OF any other source, had dared to ap.
pronth hifii oh the subject. Laughter on
the Republican side.l He had acted with an
honest mind and pure heart for himself
ANY man who insifGated TO the contrary,
was not worthy place on this floor, nor
would he, if he had betrayed confidence and
proved recreant to all that he had heretofore
said or done. He appealed to HeoVet, for
the recttude of his Intentions. The consti.
tuition was practically, though not in form;
submitted to the people of Kansas; and they
would have chance to kill 1t. He asked
lIr. Haskin whether there had been false.
hood or recreancy on his part. . ....-
Mr.. Haskin-I leave that to the country
to Judge.
Mr.. Cox, with earnest and excited gesticu
lutons, made reply, which was lost in the
greatest possible confusion. .a .,..}
The Speaker loudly repped and said that
he would prohibit any language approach
inp personality. The demand for the pre-.
vious question was seconded. The Speaker
: repeatedly raped and called to order. Du.
ring roll call, the House was unusually
: quiet. The result on adopting the Kansas
report was yeas ll2, nays, l03. [Applause

Mr.. Broderick OF California, said that af-
ter the matter had been SO ably discussed,
I he would not make lengthy speech. He
was opposed TO and would vote against the
bill reported by the Committee of Confer
ehce for several reasons, the most potent Of
which is that it prohibits Kansas from com.
ing into the Union as a free State during
