Col, Henry S. Lane and Col. VIM. NJ. |
McCarty, the genuine q. s. Senators from I
this State, notwithstanding the refusal Of |
that body to recognize their claims, addressed |
large concourse of people, last evening, in |
the Hall of the House OF Representatives,
giving history of their mission to Washing |
ton, and the results Of their observations
while there, and rendering to their constitu-
ents an account of their stewardship.
| McCarty made the opening speech, and
WAS we'll received. He showed the utter
worthessness Of the arguments by which
/ Senators had endcavored to justify their ac
ton in the Indiana case; censured, in severe
terms, the extravaganza, ineffciency, and
corruption Of abe present administration, and
! demonstrated in an undeniable manner the
recreancy Of the so-called, or Lecompton
/ Democracy, from the principles incnlcated
by the fathers Of the party. lie was uncom-
promising in his denunclation OF Buchanan
and his minions. McCartv spoke for about
an hour, and was followed by Lane, in one
of the happiest Of his proverbaly happy eff
forts. From the time he commenced his
speech until the close thereof, he enchanted
the attention of the audience, and was con.
tinually interrupted with their plaudits. He
commenced by returning his thanks to the
people for their kind reception, and rejoicing
that he had escaped from the Dolsome and
pestilential atmosphere OF Washington City,
to one Of much purer and healthier char.
acter, and from among the servants of the
, people to themselves. He said his mission
, to the Capital of the nation was like unto
, that Of a certain one of old, who went from
Jerusalem down to Jericho, "And fea AMONG
!, thieves" His illusions TO the course pur-
. sued toward Col. McCarty and himself, by
! the Lecompton U. S. Senators, and their ac-
: ton in the Indiana case, especially that Of
/ the "eloquent young Senator" from Ohio,
: were keen and cutting, and met with the
). hearty approval Of the audience.
