dIr. Lorgoy said, when Daniel Webster
spoke OF the imposition Of Austria on Hum
gary, he remarked the earthquake and tor
nado have powers, and the thunder has
power, but greater than these was the pow
er OF public opinion aud before this he
proposed to arraisn Austria. lie (Love-
joy) proposed TO hold up to the retriburion
of public sentiment, slavcholdng in all its
atrocity and hideousness, just as gentlemen
had here polygamy. Public sentiment will
burn and scour out slavery, and the proper
way is by the action Of The slave states
themselves. He had endorsed the Helper
book because he wanted to do it. lie did
so without asking the gentleman from Mis-
souri, (Clark) or anybody else. You shed
the blood of my brother twenty years ago,
and ! am here free to speak my mind. The
republican party would spring up in Ken
lucky, and gentlemen now here would find
themselves displaced by more moderate,
and if it were not offensive, he would add.
more sensible men. He wanted to say in
Charleston what he could say here.
Jir. BoRkam of S. C.-"You had better
try it,"
Mr.. Lorgoy-"I can go to England and
there discuss the question of church and
state, or any other British institution. But
if | go into the slave States and talk against
slavery, where is my protection ?"
lhr. Miles of n. c. (dem. )-"Can you 20
to England and incite the laboring classes
there to assassinale the queen?"
Mr.. Lorgy-I don't desire to do that.

Mr.. Bonham-'We want you to assertit."
lLr. LocGoy-"When you call us small
farmers and apply other epithets against
the working people Of the North, we don't
harm you. If mechanic from Pernsyl-
vania were to go South and speak about the
superiority of white labor, he would be held
morally responsible. You would strip him
and scourge him by the hand of slave,
and perhaps tar and feather him.
1Ur. BurkSdale-"The meanest negro in
the South is your superior"
Cries of ''Order" from the republican side
Nr. LocgoH in speaking of John Brown,
said he would not curse him. He would
pour no eXecrations upon old John Brown.
He condemned what he (Brown) did. He
disapproved of his act. lie believed how
ever, that his purpose was good one, and
his motives honest and truthful. John
Brown stood head and shoulders above any
man here until he was strangled. Any law
to enslave man was as an arrangement
among pirates to distribute the spols. By
what right do you Of lfie South get togeth-
el and enact laws that | or my chffd Shall
be your slave ? Every slave has right
to run away in spite of your laws, and to
fight himself away. Were he (Loveioy) a
slave, aud were it necessary to achieve his
freedom, he would not hesitate to fill up the
chasm and bridge it over with the carcasses
of the slain. He loved the South.
Il Eoice-"We don't love you"
Mr.. Loggoy-"So it was with the Saw
ior. They didn't love him. Laughter.
Gentlemen who talked of dissolving the
Union could no more do it than they could
stop the shining of the sun. Virginia, in
stead Of clothing herself in sleeps gray,
should clothe herself in sackclolh and ashes,
on account of slavery, and ought to drink
the waters of bitterness
Mr.. Murtin of Va, (dem.)-"If you
will come into Virginia, we will hang you
higher than we did John Brown"
Mr. LOrGoy-"No doubt about it"
So ended one of the most exciting scenes
of the irrepressible conflict, that has oc-
cured in Congress for some time. 1t is
chiefly important as vindication of the
right to speak there as freely against slave
ry as the Shareholders speak in its defense.
A few years ago the southerners would
have attempted to prevent the utterance of
such a speech. Now they only damanded
that il should be made on the republican
side Of the House, and not be hurled def
antly into their very teeth, as Lovejoy
did it.
