another journal.
meeting of sympathizers, with the young men
lately arrestedi in Ireland for reasonable purposes
was held last evening in Tammany Hall, and a
committee appointed to collect funds to aid in
their defence.

Rumors are current of serious misunderstanding

Guilty grew out of the con tract for the machinery
of the sloOp of war to be built at Philadelphia,
Messrs. Morris & Bro. charging on oath that the

out issue with the Democratic party. He wished
to know from his colleague, Mr.. Cox, whether the
latters party was for or sgainsf the slave trade.
Mr.. Cox rose 70 pay bis respects TO his colleague
for few moments and crowd gathered round
him. He said that Mr.. Giddings knew that the
Democratic members of the former session voted
that it was inexpedient and unjust to restore the
African slave trade, and that Democrats North
and South are opposed to it.
Mr.. Giddings said thst he had alluded to the
coastwise slave trade.
Mr.. Cox resumed and said that Giddngs had
undertaken to place the Democrats in a falso Do
siton, and ineuleate the idea that the Democratic
party was pro-slavery, when he knew it was nei-
ther pro nor antislavsry, but placed itself on the
doctrine of leaving the people to regulate the
matter as they deem proper. liz hoped that his
colleague would be nominated Tor Governor of
Ohio, and when the election was over the latter
would be left to ponder over the result, and ex-
claim with Aristides, I yield to the popular opn-
ion in everything, even when the people drive me
into exile" Laughter.l His colleague made me-
gro equality in speech the other day, but in his
printed speech modified his language.
Mr.. Giddings remarked that his colleague mis-,
understood him.
Mr.. COx-Are you in favor of negroes in Ohio
voting?
Mr.. Giddings-I expressed no such opinion
Laughter.
Mr.. Cox-WOuld you permit them to vote?
Mr.. G.-I would whenever negroes excel the
the Democratic party in intellectual or moral Vir-
tue. Excessive laughter.
Mr.. Cox-My colleague does not come up to his
doctrine. Is he or is he not in favor Of African
equality and negro suffrage in Ohio.
Mr.. G.-I would put them and the Democrats
on the same footing, [Laughterl but will not in
terfere with the quarrel between them and Mr..
Cox.
Mr.. COx-The difference between my age and
that Of my friend, If may so call him, will not
allow me to put him to the torture because he can
not be elected Governor of Ohio. In rising all
wished 70 do was TO put the Democratic party
right and it is right. The gentleman can come on
with his forces and we will meet him.
Mr.. Stanton, of Ohio, wanted to ask Mr.. Cox
question.
Mr.. Houston, of Ala, objected. The House
had had enough of this.
There was much confusion during the proceed
ings, everybody being evidently interested in the
dialogue
Mr.. John Cochrane in closing the general debate
on the bill, said he did not anticipate they would

cussion simply or question of commerce and

cietion, instead of to norrow evening" as heretofore
announced. This change is made thatthe Melode-
on may be at the disposal of the Chldrens Aid So
ciety and the Industrial School tomorrow night,
on the occasion of the visit of the Hon. Charles
Reemeln, who will lecture to the children and the
audience.
The lecture tonight viii be one Of much interest
and ability. Mr.. Dickman is one of the most eff
fective, of-band speakers we have ever had the
pleasure of listening to, and we doubt not he will
merit the same as lecturer. Our citizens should
not fail to be present and enjoy the intellectual treat
which will be placed before them.
