AFTERNOON SESSION.
u,Rprn,s FERRY 1NsuRnEcrror


The House resumed the consideration of the Bay
less resolutions pending at the hour Of recess.
Mr.. Bayless proceeded with his remarks, COM
menced before noon. Mr.. Calhoun was as loyal a
representative Of the South IS ever has been in
Congress- and gentlemen have undertaken to put
him on the level with all the sbominsble men Of
the Nerth The Opposition say we Dc everything
that is done which i bad he told gentlemen that
he was proud 10 contrast the Democratic party with
any parry that ever hsd existence. Whenever
the Democratic party propoLed any great measure
which would be of advantage to this government,
they oppose it invariably, and tberef re the name
0p position sppropriste as applied 10 the party
TO which the gentleman over the way belong. He
would like to appoiet ths members on the opposite
side Of the hall as Committee to witness the exc
cution of Brown, for be thought that would have
a salutary effect upon them, and probably tend 10
dispel any idea of affiliaIion with the Black Re-
publican party which they might entertain, or
seem to entertainby their persistent opposition to
tteIe resolutions

Mr. SENTER, when his name was called, object
ed for the reason that he was VnioR-loviDg aud
Law abiding citizen, holding the rights Of the North

ests of the country as abolition movement, and
that seceisonists were liable TO the just indigns
tou of conservative men the abolitionsts Of the
| North. He stood upon principle, and principle
/ slone-under the Constitution we all stand on Gn
| eouslty; Northern Iusn has right TO his feel
ings and principles equal to the Southern man, and
vice Usrsd, Anything hat sirikes at the OOnstitu-
