Mr Hamlin remarked that Congress haa been
IN session for several months, and little has
been done yet. We are all anxious 10 get home
some tins before the constitutional commence
ment OF the next session, but he himself did not
want to 30 till business wes disposed Of.
ar. Hale did not think the last three weeks
had been entirely lost There had been a great
aea! Of good done by adjourniDg over from tins
70 time, aud the proceedings at Charleston. It
Ill becomes the Republicans to complain Of
what has been done. We disposed Of the Whig
party some time ago, md nothing is now lett
US but fragments Of the Democratic party to
fight against, and they went to Charleston and
delivered speeches containing sound Republl,,
can doctrines, where the Republicans would
not have been permitted to 60. How the Demo-
cratic party is broken to pieces, but there wasto
be m attempt to unite j. together as with
Spauldipg's Giue-[Laughter]-aud make II
stick. There llnd been q great deal Of good
done, but thoss men it doing fs did not
know what they were about. Samson. when be
overthrow the temple Of the Pl;llstlnes, was
blind, and did not see what tremendous piece
Of work he was doing. So the democrats were
blind instruments in The hands Of Providenceto
work out good result, and it affords an illus
tration Of the truth Of the saying in holy writ,
; "That God would make the wrath Of man
praise him, and the residue thereof be would
restrain" That's Just exactly what has been
| done in that Convention. If the Senator from
/ Maine found time for private recreation during
| the adjournment, that vas different from his
| experience.
| Ar. Toombs thought that not more than FIVE
in one hundred private bills could be maintained
on any kind Of principles by general consent.
