Mr.. Stewart, of Md, addressed the Com
mittee, ana commented upon the political
course of Mr.. Davis, of Md. He said that the
Legislature of Md. had disapproved of the
| course of Mr.. Davis 7Fl
MIR. Davis said that the State Senate had
| shirked the vote upon the resolutions. He
| would say that the action of the Legislature
| was piece of unblushing impertinence.
| Mr.. Stewart inquired ii MIR. Davis believed
the Senate and the people Of Maryland ap-
proved of his coarse.
Indifference to him whether the Senate of Ma
| ry land approved OF the House disapproved Of
his course. As TO the sentiment OF the people
Of the State, the fall elections would indicate
| in issue. When the time came to consider
| that course he would have friends enough,
| both in his district and out of it.
| Mr. Stewart continuing declared that if it
was known in Maryland that Mr.. Davis
| wished to give aid and comfort to The Black
| Republican party, he could not get more votes
| than Fremont had received. He thought Mr.
| Davis proper position was in the Republican
| ranks. Even MIR. Fillmore, whom he had SO
much praised, was, he understood, tavoring
| the election OF Lincoln and Hamlin.

| tleman from Maryland was misinformed in
relation to Mi. Fillmore.

tration. (Laughter.)
| Mr.. Florence, said that the contract had beer
| taken from the hands Of the Administrations
| by a resolution Of the House.
Mr.. Stewart was glad to hear that Mr.. Fill
| more had not fallen. He respected an oppO
| nent who declared his sentiments openly. HI
| hoped that if the conservative men could no
vote the democrat ticket, they would vote TO-
| Bell and Everett.
Mr. Morrill,, ofVt., took the floor, but yield
| ed to the point of order made by Mr. Craige
of N. g., that no quorum was present.
