WASHINGTON, December II.

WARRINGTON, december IL.
H0UsE.-Mr. Lsrrabes, Of Wis, sentto tho
Clerks table tho Milwaukee Free Democrat,
from which the latter read the proceedings OF
ameeting purporting to be held by the German
adopted citizens, In which sympathy 10 OK
pressed for John Brown, holding him as
noble. hearted and resolute, md Ct 10 be held
up by the friends and champions Of fresdom
for the imitation Of mankind, also saying
that adopted citizens are hostile to tyranny OF
every Kind. Mr.. Lsrrsbse remarked that If
any Of his colleagues did not recognise that
paper as Republican, let them cay 80. At his
request an editorial was road In the same pa
per, In spirit with the proceedings Of tho
meeting. He was satisfied that an honorable
Senator from Wisconsin (Doolittle) was mis-
taken when he said that there was no newspa-
per In that State which supported and sustained
John Browns invasion Of Virginia. He
thought, however, that ct the time the fact to
brought to Mr.. Doolittles attention. Mr..
beon by the leading German citizens Of Wis
had been in the midst Of them for fourteen
years, and could say that a more intelligent,
loyal and patriotic set Of men were not living
on the soil Of the United States. They were
hostile to fansticism, and TO sentiments of dis
union and war in the South. He felt II to be
bis duty to hurl back accusations against that
part Of Wisconsin he had the honor to repre-
sent. He was surprised To hear that gentle
mon charged the present Administration with
corruption and extravaganza. He thought
the President was entitled to all praise.
No man should visit bis mere personal oil ghta
In his party because he might have been
omitted In the paltry distribution Of Federal
offioss; We sll agree that the Republican party
organisation ut the North is purely sectional
party, and that the inevitable result Of the sue
cess Of any. sectional party in the country
must be rupture Of the Union. This 10 tho
very state Of things which Washington warned
us against in his Farewell Address, great
psrty built on geographical lines.
He thought Mr.. Stewards remarks respect
ing the irrepressibls conflict, originated in his
ambition to reach the Presidential chair,
thinking an appeal to sectional passions and
prejudices the best way to reach it.
He never had any doubts but that the raid
OF John Brown was the legitimate effect OF
the teachings Of the extreme section of the
Republican party North the teachings Of the
Tribune, Wendell Pbillips and othera. He
had heretofore thought . dissolution of the
Union impossible, but now ventured to say
that, If Northern mon persist in their course,
and the South react against the North, the
dissolution may not be a question, but may
be here now, and the first act may produce
the calamity. Mr.. Larrabee then reviewed
Mr.. Stewards "irrepressible conflict doctrine.
He never heard, on this floor or on the stump,
Republicans denounong Abolition sentiments.
It appeared to him that the conAictwas not be-
tween different kinds Of labor, but between
| different races of men. He did not believe In
the unity Of the human race. If the slaves
were free, what could be done with them? The
North don't want them. .-H HHH
