Such.is the substance, if not the exact words,
of statement made by man to Judge Cradle
baugh, in my presence, who at the same time
confessed that he participated in the horrible
events which he related. He also gave Judge
e. the names of twenty-five or thirty other men
living in the region, who assisted in the massa-
ere. He offered also to make the same statement
n court and under oath, if protection was guar.
anteed to him. He gave as a reason for divulg-
ing these facts, they had tormented his mind and
conscience since they occurred, and he expressed

The occasion of the speech of Hon
Owen Loyejoy, of Illinois in the House
OF Representatives short time since,
is described by the Washington CORES
pondent ofthe N. Y. Tribune, to have
been one Of the most exciting ever wit
messed in Congress. The Tribune cor

vides the Republican from the Demo
cratic side OF the Chamber He was
utterlng severe philipics against slavery
as system He was endorsing and
explaining and enforcing John Wesley's
declaration, that it is 'the sum of all
Vlllalmes. "1a He was neither attacking,
nor alluding to persons, but only to the
institution" Doubtless he was using
sharp words, and was looking straight
at Chivalry. And thereupon, Roger A.
Pryor roseand walked rapidly down one
OF the aisles, and confronting Loveioy,
and standing close to him, said in sub
stance, that he would not allow him to
utter such language. At that precise
instant, Lovejoy's right arm was lifted
on high, and the fist clenched, being in
the act OF enforcing his argument With
an emphatic gesture. In the twink
ling OF an eye, Mr.. John F. Potter, of
Wisconsin, confronted Pryor, and said,

speak For eight weeks we listened to
your stuff, in silence, and now we intend
to say what we please. Loveioy shall
speak !" Pryor made no remark. g.isG

there was rush to the spot from4 IN

members were in the area, compact.

still extended, his mind doubtless intent
upon the spot where he stopped when
interrupted by the patriarch Pryor, and
seemingly waiting for the tumult to sub

Abandoning all hope of bringing or
der out Of such chaos, Mr.. Washburn
left the chair, which was resumed by
the Speaker, to whom Mr.. w. hastily
reported that the Committee was una
bic to proceed with its business on ac-
count of the disorderly conduct ofsome
oflts members After some time and
much persuasion, the Speaker succeed
ed IN dispensing the excited throng in
front of his desk, and induced the bel
hgerent parties to resume theta seats
1t is worthy of note, as showing the
pluck Of the man, that the last person
who took bis seat was Owen Loveioy.
Order being now partially restored,
the House went again into Committee,
and Lovejoy, taking stand in the Clerks
desk, where he could eye his foes face
to face, resumed the half-fnished pic
ture. And never was Slavery painted
with such damning features before =
lie dashed on the colors till the mons
ter seemed ready to leap living from
the canvas. AS he grew excited, he
pulled off his cravat, while he hurled
anathemas at the Negro Propagandists
before him with such vigor that it caus-
ed the perspiration to gush from his
brow and from theirs. Raising his
voice till it rang through the hall and
reverberated along the adjacent passa-
ges, he said : "You cannot silence us
either by threats or by violence You
murdered my brother on the banks of
the Mississippi, more than twenty years
ago, and | am here to day to vindicate
his blood, and speak my mind and
yoU shall hear me %
But enough! The speech will speak
for itself The scene could be witness
ed, but cannot be described. Though
the interruption was disorderly and un-
provoked to the last degree, and might
have justified summary punishment, yet
all law abiding persons will rejoice that
there was no actual collision. 1t was
the most serious disturbance. probably,
that ever occurred in the House of Rep
Iresentatives. 1t demonstrated one
thing, at least, viz: that the Republi>
cans will vindicate their rights in the
House. at all times and at all hazards,
regardless of personal violence, or
threats of dissolution of the Union.
