Mr.. MASONS resolution was taken up.
Mr.. SIMMONS favored the amendment, thinking
one inquiry equally necessary with the other II legs
laion were required prevent similar Outrages. We
are too apt 20 overlook awless acts. lie deprecated
any attempt 10 render one political party responsible
for such outrages and denied that any general sym
patty had been excited in the North for Brown or ms
movements. Browns conduct was unaceountable.
In his crime there was not redeeming qually 70
ave il from utter detestation: still be was brave
man. II was the duty Of the Federal Government TO
extend protection to all parts Of the Union, and there
was no question about its power TO do 30. SIX, the
attempt 10 mplicate parties without proof was very
dangerous proceeding, and not calculated TO pro-
du e quiet in the minds Of the people.
Mr. MALLORY said-Sinee this resolution has been

Browns plans-he expected no lees of them but the
sympathy universally expressed IN the North showed
that the irrepressible conflict bad indeed commenced
He referred 10 Helpers book IN severe condemnation,
and said that two indorsers of that book were cand
dates for Speaker Of the House. The only safety Tor
the country was TO be found in the Democratic party
Mr. INVERSION referred to the action OF the massa-
ehusetts Senate on the ID Of December, as showing
their sympathy for Brown; eight members voted for
adournment and eleven against It, while there were
twenty absentees Sinking vote, and AFRAID 10 COM

Renubljcans of sympathy with Brownare not worth
the paper they are written upon. Actions speak
louder than words. What do TIE NEw-foRK IRIB-
usT and The albany Journal say-the organs OF the
Republican party He believed that the Northern
norton of the Democratic party was as rotten as
The Republicans. There is no difference between
Senator Douglas and his supporter, on this
vital question, and Black Republicans them,
selves Mr.. Sherman dsclsims knowledge OF
the contents of Helpers book but he ought TO have
known what they were before ndorsing n. The
south stands on the brink of a volcano, and unless
they take timely action what wiz be the consequence
He presumed that Mr.. Sherman would be elected Tor
doubtless traitors enough would be found IN the ranks
~ the Anti-I ecompton Democrats. But if such
should be the case he would counsel the Southern
members of Congress TO retire from these nal ma iet
the Union be dissolved. He did not know they
would follow his advice for he was regarded mira
even in Georgia. He alluc ed to Mr. Helpers ok as
