lie had never seen the recommendation to scat.
ter. His name, however, appeared to propo-
sition to publish and circulate pamphlet eofs
tanning matters taken from Helpers book, to-

Mr.. Clark am glad the gentleman feels the
wrath to come. ILaughter.l
Mr.. Kilgore--I am ready to take the respoo-

Mr.. Farnesworth-We can act understand.

Mr. Farnesworth-~T don't believe the gentle.

= Clark resnming, felt it to be his duty to cay
if this government is TO be prostiuted and men
. placed in position holding such sentiments, the
- people ought to know to what Illuminating

J.. said that he had that circular in reference TO
e the circulation of the pamphlet before him.
l., Mr. Clark B. Cochrane interruptiDg, utterly
condemned such sentiments as those which the
1t gentlemen from Mo-, had repeated. t"}

e the other side have thrust the negro before the
House. we NAV as we'll finish the discussion
,e and then turn him ont as quickly as possible.
10 Mr. Clark replied that the negro never would
have been thrust upon the House but for the
l. action Of the gentleman's party, and for the sd-
Of vice the gentleman had given. If gentlemen
g. made themselves the equals OF the negro, the
y effect would be to drive out another class OF the
N House on the first day OF the session.

II, Missouri had made a statement that Republic

Il toned certain things in Helpers book. His
