US reduce their theory to practice, and see how
it will operate Will he, under the idea that
men are created equal, and the power Of the
Federal Government il sovereign in the Terri
tories, allow black people equal political rights
with white people? The Senator FROM Illinois
had spoken of saveholding aristocracy, com
prising one out OF sixty Of the people Of this
country, but this was mere sophistry.
He proceeded to show that emancipation Of
the southern slaves would in fact increase the
political power Of the South, for instead Of
three filths of the slaves being represented po-
liticalIy. all would be. Notwithstanding the
declaration that all men were created equal, the
Northern States are unwilling to allow blacks
to reside in them.
Mr.. Trumbull explained--1t was an abstract
truth that all men were created equal, hut when
we come to form governments and organize so.
ciety, all persons do not have equal rights. The
assertion in the Republican platform was copied
from the Declaration Of Independence. 1t was
merely the enunciation OF great natural truth
in the organization Of society. We infringe as
little as possible on that natural right but no
government is perfect, and therefore we do in
Illinois make distinction between whites and
bla ks, and also between the political rights Of
| men and women.

State upon en- equal footing with the other
States Of the confederscy. r sta
MIR. Tlumhnll answered that he would not
admit any community applying to become one
of the members OF this con ederacy, by the nd
mission Of which he supposed he was endanger-
ing the Union itself In his Judgment there
was distinction between the white and black
races made by Omnipotence He did not be-

! pleasantly together each ENJOYING equal rights,
wi irhout one domineering over the other. There
fore, he woulh advise the policy of separating
these two races by adopting system 10 rid the
country Of black race as it becomes free. He
would say that he should not be prepared, un-
der the existing state Of affairs, to admit as q
sovereign State of this Union community O
negroes, nor Indians either ya.
| Mr.. johnson thanked him for the admission
and proceeded TO show whence John Browns
| foray originated, and read extracts from Jcffer,
sens works and other documents. showing that
both the elder Adams and John Quincy Adams
contemplated the idea Of the dissolution of the
| Union. John Adams refused to contribute tc
an institution Of learning in southern state
because, when the Union would be dissolved il
wonld not he in his section. Mr.. johnson also
took up Senator Stewards Rochester speech
reading copiouS ext tracts, embracing that por-
tion in which he speaks Of an irrepreSsible con
| fict between slave labor and free labor. He dc.
MED that there was any such conflict. The on.
| lv conflict was between labor and capital, and
1. there always existed an sntagonism between
them. He spoke eloquently in defence OF the
| Union. He would rather see this country in
volyed in hostiliiies with every citizen and
country on earth, than engaged in civil or ser.
/ vilafwar. He was surprised to hear the gentle,
man From Wisconsin MIR. Doolittle1 apologize

Mr. Doolitle, Of Wis, said he made no apol.
ogy or Justification of Browns acts The peo
pie Of the North have no sympathy for his
crimes, hut many have sympathy wich the in,
divdual himself. He had stated some facts
aud circumstances preceding the difficulty, en-
deavoring to point out the school in which
Brown was educated TO stake his life upon The
slavery question. lie now read some extracts
from the history OF Kansas ly Gov. Geary's
private Secretary, corroboratins his previous
statements and he declared that as bad and
wicked as Browns foray into Virginia, it sinks
into inSignifrancc when compared with the 70
ray led into Kansas by David r. Atchison. -
The one was Of Brown and twenty.one mer
against great State What is that when com
pared with the invasion Of Kansas with almost
| 5000 men, when at the time Of the invt"ior
there were not 3 600 voters in the whole Terri
tory.
Mr. johnson continued his remarks in Genun,
Citations of Brown, quoting the letter Of Mrs
Doyle to Governor Wise 1t seemed like 2
righteous retrbution, that Brown and his two
sons should lose their lives for the murder o
Dovle and his two sons in Kansas.
Mr. Davis, Of Miss, reported that the specia
committee had waited on the President, and ht
informed them he would send in an executive
communication tomorrow.
On motion of Mr.. Mallory the Senate ther
adjourned.
HOUSE.-Mr. Kilgore, ofIndiana, said thai
in consulting with his friends he found tha
they were almost unanimous in the opinion tina
it was necessary to proceed to ballot in ordel
to bring about an organization OF the House
| The Administration was almost without none,
as well as without fiiends, and he wanted tc
provide for the former. He would tell the gen
tlemen on the other side Of the House that the
Republicans will not shrink from discussion a.
the proper time. They would deliberate or
the question which had been introduced unit
all parties were satisfied. He would take the
first opportunity to examine the condition o
things at the North and the South. They haC
been informed that there would be dissolution
of co-partnership. He wished to examine how
the account stands and who has been doitI
wrong.
MIR. Maynard, of Tenn, said that they haG
been engaged during an entire week and only
taken three votes for Speaker. Much of time
has been occupied, as in Committee OF the
Whole discussing quest ons necessarily incident
to attempt to effect an organization. They
had seen the bad consequences of the neglect o
the organization in the interruption and dis
turbances coming from the galleries without
preceding officer to presarve order Under thest
circumstances he offered resolution that the
oldest member of the House, by consecutive
service therein be appointed Chairman till thu
House shall elect a Speaker. I'D. a...... B..
Mr.. Kilgore objected, on the ground tina
the resolution was not in order. .f..-l
| Several other members also objected.
Mr. Maynard referred to precedents in sup.
port OF his resolution, and showed that Johr
Quincy Adams was once appointed chairman
| till Speaker could be elected. His PROPOSE
ton was Simply for the preservation of order
dignity and selC-respect Of this body, while thu
eyes Of this great nation and the world were
upon the representatives Of the people.
Mr.. Stewart said that it was necessary tha
there should be comparison Of views, while a
The same time the order and dignity oil tn,
House should BE- preserved, National men hsG
voted for Mr. Bocock. while for tho candidate
of the Republican party not one member from
the South had voted. The matter Standing OF
