everything was said Ia their pspers, and be said,
shsy could not ind republican Dswspsper Ia The free
States that has not expressed dsapprobaon ana horror
Of this thing There was portion Of The people Of tho
North who, IN view 4 The personal quasies exhibited BY
Brown think Iess Of the crime because Of the man who
committed NJ but that soo tinlng matter for him 10
argue here Gentlemen persisted in hanging argament
puon that snly sasHed him Of Ae disposition Of Sena-
tors from the beginning 70 avail hsselves Of the eec
for the purpose Of breaking down political organization
rather than for the purpose Of aayng excitement Wha
bad been the course Of the Norths He did mot speak
himself when any gentleman asked him he had any
completely with Brown, any knowledge Of his intsn-
tons, be could make reply TO question like that He
was Senator OF ths United States 70 support tho
constitution, and when asked him In bis place, or
out Of u, whether he abeted murder and treason, and
violent seizure Of the property Of the United States by
armed men, resulting In the killing of otbars be made no
reply, and did mot stand 70 apologize sclam any such
thing suppose hs asked the honorable Senator from yr-
gina whether be had any compicIy h taking slaves

Tor would rcpy9 He would not dare insult the Senator In
that msuner, because he woud not dare insu. any man
in that manner wlfnlly and deliberately and yet that
the inquiry designed and deliberately addressed 10
him. What inference coulo they draw except was de-
signed deliberately 70 charge completely with all these
crimes upon every man belonging 70 the republican
party. he represented the public sentiment Of his
state, and he had not met the first man Of any
party or sect who had not denounced the act or
Brown and his associates as criminal in the highest
degree and deserving Of DEATH and this he yeniured TO
assert was the almost universal sentiment Of The people Of
the free States He made these remarks 70 show he was
not to be put upon the defensive about this matter He
had never withheld his opinions, and he gentlemen
would persist In saying they had NO confidence in the re-
pubBcans and that they responsible for haang ahe
minds Of the people, he would not stand then Aeend
hnseH or those with whom ho acted. He only told
Senators thai the people Of the North knew what they
fslt and would not be driven from any constitutional or
rightl purpose they have In view " the msrepresen
ing Of their views in reference 70 this matter. Nothing
was to be gained by denunsion They were not TO be
put upon the defensive. They not responsible and
did not mean 70 admit thenselyes 30. They stood as
clear and pure with reference /, this matter ~ the most
ultra Southern man.
Mr.. RRows, (dem-) Of MES, SAID when Senator's disa
these hhgs he would not stand up bsfore hs peers
and charge them with deliberate fsehood but the events
ranspirng In the North calculated 70 produce very
different suppression upon tho Southern mind Is II usual
for notorious malefactors, robbers and traitors "a
have sympathy expressed for them by the leading jour
malls Of the Northf Suppose that John Brown instead Of
engaging In . foray against slavery, had made q
similar foray into Massachusetts, with the view Of
oyerturning the government Of the State, would
the Tribune, Bbeing Post and other republican
journals have then expressed sympathy for htm
they have donea Would New England clergymen have
called their congregations together prayer meeies for
the soul Of such manP Suppose expedition had been
fitted out in Virginia or Carolina 70 capture the Armory
Springfield and hold with the avowed object Of plant
ing slavery IN Massachusetts, they be likely 70
have demonstrations Of sympathy in the South like those
lately occurring in the Norhs u not true that SYM
pshy generally felt for Brown let the repubcans call
general meetings and disavow IL.
Mr. CHsDlxR, (rep) Of Mich, would at future time
discuss the rrepressble conflict" and show that for the
last three thousand years there had been cessation Of
that conflict He wss In favor Of this resolution for rea
ons different from those stated by Others This has been
he first execution for treason n the United States an
Wanted II 70 60 forth warning 10 all traitors every
wNere no matter whether Garrison abolitonists or the
sothern Governors who declare that under certain
nces they will raise their hands against the constu-
ton md the Union. Let all traitors hang Threats have
been made for thirty years that In certain events this
Union would be dissolved. It is small matter to dis
solve the Union II means bloody revolution, means
halter II successful overturning Of this gov
ernmen means the fate Of John Brown Abolonsts,
as class, are non-resistants. Where did Brown re-
ceive his education IN scenes Of violence? That edu
cation cannot be charged upon the republican party
If any political party responsible for the action OF
Brown, Il Is the democratic party alone. When he
to Washington he thought there only two classes
that charged completely the republican party-knaves
fools But since he had been here he had found that
nAves at the North had fooled very sensible peo
ple The occurrence at Harper's Ferry very re-
markable one. Had twenty two men-not captains, but
Virginia generas-undertaken TO seize the Armory at
Springfield, the women alone would have bound them
thirty minutes; and had man been there to ASSIST
they would not have asked for investigating committee
or expected any particular sympathy. The Senator
rom Virginia wants TO know wherc the money oame
irom' Why, in Canada there were co. 900 fugitive slaves
and twenty cents head would have been sufficient with
out charging on the republican party As to the state
ments in the democratic papers, filed with government
II s yiainous press hired to do dirty
work, and II does Il faithfully.
Mr.. Doo1rnI, (rep) Of Wis, challenged Senator's to
produce republican paper throughout tho Northwest
which JUSTIFIED sympathized with the act Of Brown
At Harper's Ferry. They might sympathize with him as
an individual any under sentence Of death might
receive sympathy for personal qualities. Where did all
Ibis violence and disregard Of the laws begin9 Who
unclaimed the tiger and opened up civil war in this coun
ryp Let the inquiry be searching and thorough and
see who s responsible. he gave the history of the
Kansas agitation a. the foundation Il this trouble
The design Of the republicans to put down awless
violence, whether from Canada into Virginia, from the
southern States into Nicaragua or from Missouri into
Kansas The republican party stand pledged TO sustan
he constitution and the rights Of al Sates both In the
North and South and viii Standby them even TO the
bitter end be the consequences what they may They do
,ot believe that there exists such insanity In the South
bat they would attempt break up the government be-
ause republican President might be elected The re-
,ublican party stand pledged to maintain the Union
ganst all enemies whether from Canada or The Southern
States. They will arrest them for treason, ndict the
md unless the jury acquit the ground Of insanity
Rang them for treason, as sure as there s God in
a heaven.
Mr.. CmsHur (dem) Of 8 g. said that the prcprety Of
hs resolution was so manifest and its immediate adop
ion 80 necessary, he had not believed there soil
ary man on the floor OF the Senate who would oppose IT,
yet ts amendment seemed for the EXPRESS purpose Of
