MIR Brown concurred most cordially
in the Message Of the President Sell
dom had he read a document Of the
same length from which he found 60
little to dissent from. There could be
but two opinions relative to that paper
those entertained by national men OF
all parties, on one side. and those en-
tertained by sectional men on the other.
He never expected the Senator from
Massachusetts would concur In the ar
guments and conclusions Of National
President. whether he might be Dem
ocratic, American OF Wing. Nothing
but sectional Republicanism would
meet the appreciation of that Senator.
who had made mistake in supposing
that a speech, ike old wine, would
improve with age For his own part
he loved old friends and old wine in
modern degree. Laughter And
he reverenced old age, but he abhorred
an old speech delivered from year to
year through Senatorial term. In
stead of proceeding with his remarks
he would yield tie ioor, if the question
could not be taken in reference.
Mr.. Fessenden said be wished toex-
press his views. but could not promise
that his speech would be short one.
Mr.. Brown resumed; IL what he had
TO say he did not expect to convince
those on the other side Of the question;
like Ephraim thcy were Joined to their
idols. and he would let them alone

consideration TO the minds of his 90
litical friends which might influence

that the Republican party had not the
shadow Of an existence outside OF tho
non -Slaveholding States, and that If
it succeeded in its efforts TO break up
the National Democratic party. 1t was
absolutely certain the country would

and will set tonight. In reply to
Stewart, he said that that Senator had
remarked that the wolly heads were
constantly floating before his peppers.
All that he had TO say was if the SEN
ator would let the woolly heads alone.
he would be responsible that the wool
ly heads would let the Senator alone.
Laughter. There was not more
amiable people in all the world over
as these woolly heads. They were
gentle as the sheep on the Senator'S
own pasture. Speaking Of woolly
heads reminded him OF an anecdote
which illustrated the Senator's posi-
tion. lie had heard an individual
who was suspected of slaughiering his
ncighbor's sheep. The neighbor came
suddenly upon him one day and said,
"Oh / am glad TO have detected at
last" Detected ne in what?''-
killing my own sheep Have a
care" returned the offender, "be eau
tious how you charge me with sheep
killing. But what if / did Kill your
sheep--I will kill anybody's sheep
that bites me while | am peaccably
walking along the road" Laughter. !
Let the negroes alone and let the Sen
ators attend to their own matters, and
our sheep viii never bite nor disturb
You while yoa are peaceably passing
over the road Laughter. fr.is

sure the question ON reference could
not be taken this evening, and thought

Mr.. Boco-k from the committee on
Naval Affairs, made report from the

that the act Of Paulding in arresting

improper motives or intentions. yet
they regarded II as grave error which

spirit of his instructions. and deserves
the appreciation Of his country.
