false position which Mr.. Greedy holds to the
Republican party. When his (Mr. Rel

The consequences Of the Republican move
ments, he said, had been prolific in mott de.
plorable consequences, which he proceed ed
to detail, and towards the conclusion of bis
remarks, said the question was whether they
should elect Speaker Standing on the ma.
tionai OF seesieaal platform. He was for the
former.
Mr.. Kellogg, in his reply, said he was not
at the Conference, but what he has stated
was the fact. He was pleased with the re-
marks OF bis colleague, (Mr. hcCieraand,)
who, it had been said, was not in full CON-
munlon with his party, but who now sung
Psalms to the union OF the States and the
union OF the Democratic party.

He hoped she Divine blessing of the AL

Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, wanted to know his
colleagues authority for the statement al !
lsging an agreement between Judge Douglas
and Mr.. Greeley, such as has been charged.
Mr.. Kellogg said he did not think it pro-
per to make the declaration.
Mr.. Morris replied that If he had been in |
private parlor he should not have detailed |
piirate conversation. This was the first |
tine that he had heard that charge, and he |
believed there was not one iota truth in 1t. |
Mr.. Douglas was elected by the Democracy |
OF that State. which had adopted him as her |
son. He said few more such scenes as |
those Of yesterday, and We should hear the |
crack of the revolver and SEQ the CLEAN of !
the FURNISHED blade.

The Chair presented the report of the Sec
rotary OF the Senate showing the progress
made in printing American State papers.
MIR. Clay gave notice of his intention to in |
sroduce bill to repeal fishing bounties,
MIR. Powell gave notice Of his intention to |
introduce bill to abolith the frankiug pri- |
vilege.
Mr.: Aasoa's resolution for committee to |
enquire into the particulars Of the Harper's |
Ferry Invasion was taken up.
Mr.. Simmons favored the amendment. |
thinking enc inquiry equally necessary with |
the other If legislation was required to pre-
vent similar sutrages. We are too apt to |
overlook lawless acts, He deprecated the |
attempt to render one political party respon- |
sible for such outrages and denied that any |
general sympathy existed In the North for |
Brown or bis inovesa-nt. Brown's conduct |
" as unaccountable.
In ms CT line there was not one redeeming |
quality to redeem u from uttsr detestation. |
Still no was brave man. 1t was the duty |
Of the General Government to extend Its !
protection to all parts of the Union. There |
was NO question about the power. Still, he |
said, the attempt to implicate parties, with |
out proof, was very dangerous proceeding, |
and not calculated to produce quiet in the |
minds Of the people.
