question Of privilege and caused to be read M
article from the New York Tritun<. Mr. n.

Missouri too lie lhellogg) knew it, and could
prove it. lie never lored . traitor. The idea
was to make Mr. Dougtas Senator, to re-eleci
him, which was done. Mr. Douglas in the mean
time was declaring that be was Democrat
When the battle bad been fought, Mr: Greeley
enough for him. He lkel'ogg) had no knowl-
edge or recollection that he signed the recon-
mendation for the" Helper Book" He never
saw it. There was not man in his district
who would trample On the constitutional rights
Of the South. The North is becoming less and
stronger Democratic, and the time would soon
come when the great majority Of the people
would be Republican.
| Mr. McClernaud replied: If such consulta-
| tiou occurred, how came his colleague (kel-
logg) to know it: If the consultation was pri-
vate, he, ~ an individual, would hare scorned
to reveal what WAS said. It was strange that
such charge should now be made, after it WAS

Nj. Kellogg did not think proper to makethe
/ declaration.
Mr.. Morri. replied: If he had been in, the
pirate parior he should not hare detailed pri.
rate conversation. This was the first time he
had heard that charge He believed there was
not one iota Of truth in it. Douglas was elected
by the Democracy Of that State which had
adopted him a. its son. He said a few more
such scenes as those ofyesterdsy aad we should
hear the crack Of the revolver, and see the
cleam of the FURNISHED blade.
