Mr. Trumbul, OF Ill, resumed his remarks,
showing the Importance oi inquir! relative to
the sacking O. the Arsenal at Liberty, Mo-
The seizure OF an Arsenal, recently, is regard
ed ui.t;er OF 50 great Importance; yet the
Fl. silent in bis message never alluded to the
seiZlie oi the Arsenal IN Missouri. A resolu>
ton was adopted in March, 1858, calling on the
President Tor I'LL information in the Depart
menss relative to the affairs of Kansas, yet the
report of Capt. Leonard had never been sent to
the Senate.
Mr.. Tiumbull, OF H., thought the Gentlemen
were entirely mistaken az to the principles or
views OF the Republican party, and ne would
etdeavor TO erlighten them in calm and can>
did manner. lie did not like to hear them
use the word South in this manner. Moret han
one twentieth OF the people OF theSouth are
Shareholders; that class should not arrogate TO
hemsaivas tnas they are the South.
The exclusion Of slavery faon the territories
operates on all alike. Northern men will have
no more light to carry slaves there than South
ern men. The Republican party had its origin
in the question OF slavery IN the territories
this territorial question is not settled-the Dem>
oeratc party unsettled it. He went on to ais
Iude 10 the term Black Republican what had
been used.
Mr Yuee said toe term Republican having
faa tod n fhc fail nf "A
sectional party had rights to appropriate it.
lie you'd not call them Black, but leave il to
themselves to supply the proper designation.
Mr. Trumbail, OF ILL.,, replied that they Call
themselves Republicans because they advocate
the principles of Jefferson--if his party had
made any departure from these principles he
would condemn such departure. The fathers
OF the old Republican party were the models
frem whom their principles emanated. The very
words in the platform TO which the Senator
from Florida had objected we're written in the
hand OF Jefferson -4Et
Mr Yulee.-To create and not destroy free
Government.
Mr.. TrumbulI.-Yes, and we p rpctuate free
Government by maintaining the principles we
advocate. The other patty call themselves
Democrats when their legislation is all shaped
for he iuteresss 0: q slayehoding sris,ocgacy,
comprising only one out Of sixty OF the inha-
bitan,s OF the United States.
Mr.. Trumbull underwent lengthy cross ex-
animation on the part OF Southern Senators.
