now say what is almost unnecessary, that the
attempt he so .ngenerously and imprope Wy
makes TO prejudice me in the eyes Of my
excites with me indifference, at
the effects and results he has 50 lamely and
feebly attempted.
Then lie attempts still further to prejudice
me by saying that the member from Ohio
Mr.. Glddings congratulated me on the
speech that made on that OCCASION. When
my colleague was upon the floor, and gentle.
men who were near me at the time assured
him that what was alleged did not take place.
| should have expected. at least it would be
expected, that he would have acknowledged
that he had been mistaken but not So. He
had risen to make the speech, and his speech
he made as he had fixed it up. What in my
speech was there that Mr.. Giddin2s could
congratulate me on!
And would say here, with oil submission.
that II we could bring about state OF things
in this country. when Mr.. Gildings. or all
others, North or SOUTH would be willing TO
congratulate themselves upon the platform
laid down in that speech, il would be bet
ter state Of things than now exists, or lear
will soon exist. say, 10 reference TO my
colleagues statement. however. with a SOL
emn regard TO truth, that there is not word
Of truth in it. do recollect that the mem.
Der from Ohio, in passing up the aisle. some
distance from me, on the conclusion Of my
speech. stopped and made some such remarks
as he has stated ip his reported reply to my
colleague. about my having connected his
name with that Of Mr.. Buchanan. That
believe to be true; no more.
will conclude with an additional remark
in reference TO the vote gave for the CON-
promise bill. II was not such a bill as fully
approved. should have vastly preferred the
Critiendcn- Montgomery bill. II was an hon
est bill. II lett ruon for no double construc-
ton. II did not leave room for southern
men to say that there was no submission.
and for the northern wing Of the Democratic
party 10 say that there was submission. II
came forward plainly, honestly, squsrely,
and did The very thing il praiessed. True.
the bill which passed in substance was the
same; only leaving rom for this double con-
i str1ction.
But, inasmuch as this odious Green amend
ment. indorsing the objectionable doctrine
which il was intended to cuyer. was out OF IL;
aud inasmuch as il left this question to be
settled, where perhaps il is best that il should
be settled. the South having nothing TO gain,
deemed It best To vote Tor IL SAID 10 my
gallant southern comrades who had fought
the battle. that they had. il substance, all that
they had been con,endng for. But my gal.
liant friends considered II their duty 10 pro-
coed further; aud. as their bill WAS ii such
fair. PLAN. and unqaestionable form. they
thought themselves justified in pursuing those
who had abused and opposed them. until they
should bring them 10 their very terms, word
Tor word aud letter for letter; aud had they
been successful. am now well satisfied that
the bill would have obtained the sanction of
the other wing Of this Capitol. and would
have give to tile country better adjustment
and secured the prospect of greater satislac-
ton than the bill which finally received the
sanction u both Houses.
