i. President, in rejecting on the proposition of th
Senator from New York to let off the spirit Of fill
clustering, must say word or two more - him
/, lie is man of eminent ability. and genial in feel
ings. | do not think his election would be cdstt
fpde,is; no breach of the league between th
States. He is a constitutional man, and If h
) should be elected there must bo some overt act Q
} oppression, or rebellion, or dereliction fror
, duty, before you could complain. My opin
ion is that he is such generous.bearted mai
, that he would rather lean towards the South b.
way of showing that he was impartial. But, sir
do not want him to talk any more abou! that gan.
of Austrans, and Netherlandmen and Irishmer
in the Rocky Mountains, making his Pacific Rail
road, with the idea that that is going to work of
the fllibuster spirit. 1t reminds me of an anec
dote which | heard about countryman of m,
friend from South Carolina For the first time in
his lie he saw some monkeys and from the ag
ty with which they jumped from prong to prong
WITH nice little fingers he thought it would be the
grandest speculation in creation to train them to
cotton picking, and got some for that purpose. A
friend met him afterwards and asked him how he
had made out First rate" said he, Except tha,
1t took two overseers to watch each monkey
Laughter That will be precisely the way you
Will work the flibusers out, according to the plan
of the Senator from New York.
Mr' President, this is my sterious thing for an.
other reason. 1t brings up agitation on the negro
question inevitably and certainly. l was in hopes
that after we got rid of Kansas, the country would
have some quiet. have been now, of and on,
nearly twenty years in Congress, and trusted
Iebo l.
peace and hear no more about negroes. Now, We
have the same old story again. I do not say that
the president proposes any such thing or that he
has any designs or views CT it but know this :
the other morning the Senator from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Bigler,) who 1t is said represented the Pres
ident-and he did not deny it when he was called
upon by the Senator from New mpshire-gave
us his views on the tariff AS the Senator from
New Hampshire said that the President had not
been invtedto theDomocratic caucus or from some
other cause, he did not agree with them, and the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, representing the
Presidents views the tariff, went in for pretty
large incdentalism on iron for Penns sylvania. II
his Cuba horse, his Cuba hobby. can tickle the
South, and upon the iron question he can hang the
old Keystone State to him by bars of iron and
hooks OF steel. be will be very apt to stand in a
pretty good position for demanding nomination
"A position where he can say "Gentlemen, Just
step upon the platform here is your candidate /;
you must take him you cannot do without him /"
1t looks to me nightly that way.
know, Mr.. President, that it has been mention.
ed often, laughngy that there has been belief
that if nothing else, your luck would kill him .
that you got every thing you ever went for all you
wanted, and that if there was nothing else ia his
way, he would never survive your luck Laugh

run for one term, but jackson talked that way and

Although General jackson only wanted one term,
he was willing to serve another. Caesar thrice nut
