James Gordon Bennett. should debase the dignity
of NV position and afron the feelings Of the members,
if should admit the propriety necessity Of recog
mixing any remarks OF that notorious individual. A
man who il conspicuous by the persistent and fla grant
violation Of the rights and vrtuous Instincts of humao
iiy. who has supplied himself with money and means
OF pernicous influence by extorng contributions from
the fear of innocence and levying subsidies
upon the gratitude Of sympathetic snd confed-
crate crimes; a wretch who wears upon his
back the scars of many merited chastise-
Mt and upon his heart tue faint OF every soncev-
able abomination; miscreant who in consenting
to the dishonor of his own family and the PROCLAMATION
of the most sacred relations of life, has committed
crime for which language has no commensurate term
Of scorI and col tempt; vi and filthy beast, whose
name is the eXecraton OF both continents, aud from
whose contact truth and virtue shrink as from the
touch of pestilence iend who Is denied the prlvi'

courtesits and charities Of the social circle, who
wears ont and is condemned to wear out, the small
remnant of guilty and miserable existence In
solitude for which the rewards of prostituted press
can purchase him no relief. repeat to the House,
that / do rot mean to discuss anything which wood
shock them by abiding in any way to that base ind
yidual who, by a course of unalterable and unap-
proachable infsny, distinguished and stgmatsed HIM

melt of suspicion. repeat, sir DO not rise TO make
any reply to the article in The Herald, or to make
any argument between James Gordon Benoett ana
mysef but to relieve sel of an issue which the Ian
ouaoe of The Herald has raised, and invite the at
tenion of the House to single paragraph OF that co
