Burnett said the reason Why he appealed %
Etheridge 70 unite on the vote for Millson was
10 wanted 70 see the United South % much re-
buke 10 endorsers Of Helpers book.
Etheridge ignored al political iand graphical
lines. and until Burnett could rally the demo-
cratic forces, he should not arraign him who
was elected ia defence OF that party.
Burnett spoke 1of the love Of Kentucky for
the Union, and asked bis colleague, Anderson,
wby he did not vote for Mils0n.
Mr. Anderson replied. He was born ard
raised 1 Whg, and had voted const tently for
al American and intended to do il to the end
Of the contest. He would not vote for Nelson,
because he was . Democrat, and could not vote
for Sherman, because he was . Republican.-
Further he, Anderson, was in favor Of the KAN
sas Nebraska bill, aad could not therefore vote
for Wilson, because Nullsen voted against that
bill. Laughter and applause.
Burnett, in reply, said E:heridge was there
at the time, and, with Millson, voted against the
Kansae,N Nebraska bill, and yet his colleague
could vote for Etheridge for Speaker. Laughter
and applause.l Y,
Hill in speaking with much energy, said
when he yielded the floor to Burnett he did not
expect the latter would stigmatize the organisa-
ton 70 which be belonged O. miserable know
Nothing party. He had voted for Nilsson be-
cause be respected that gentleman for voting
against the Kansas-Neb,aska bill, and because
MilIson was incapable Of appointing any white
washing committees. He (HilD came here
against the opposition Democratic party and
with sentiments rather more Southern thar
those expressed BY Burnett, but be would never
go help him God, consent to destroy the struc
ture under which We live, because man with
Objectionable political principles should %
elected TO the Presidency. He would wait tii
some overt act Was committed before be wouiC
consent to strike fatal blow. He was Con-
sttu.ional man and no other. His remark
we're enthusiastically aprlauded.
Bennett apologysed by saying. if in the hea
Of the debate he had used the expression miser
able Know Nothing party, be would take ]
back.
Hill said he came here with view to break
ing up both the Republican and Democratic
parties and erecting on their ruins bette
party.
