.asz-A Hor Ben H-Ycsterdnr morning


woman of East Wheeling, upon going to
the back door of her house, was amazed
and dumbfoundeds to see her baking oven
explode and scatter over half lot, and to
discover also among the flying bricks and
stones, half naked gentleman of the Hi
bernian persuasion, rolling and tumbling
and yelling about in the most strange and
eccentric manner. Upon summoning the
household, and calling the Irishman into
the council, the mystery was explained:
Yesterday was baking day, and the maid
of all work had built fire in the oven
before it was fairly daylight, and did not
observe that it was occupied by deeply
beflddled and scantily clothed man, who,
in his drunken wanderings the night pre-
rious, had sought rest and sleep within
what he supposed to be cart. The Irish
man, in consideration of his sufferings, was
invited to good breakfast, after which he
went his ways, wiser and hotter man.

Mr.. Douglas.-''Me," " of course He did not
see anything In the Constitution or in the law
say tnat that language may be susceptible of
two constructions. InaSmuch as my object was
not to make an issue with him, but to demon
srate the power and duty of Congress to fur
nIsh the legislation necessary for the protection
OF the States, expressly disclaimed constru-
ing ms language by saying that 1 would not
inquire whether his meaning was to deny the
authority OF Congress- or to deny the existence
OF the legislation necessary for carrying out
the clause OF the Constitution. If he believed
that the Constitution conferred the power, my
argument showed, then, that I agreed with
him. Ii he believed that there was no legisla-
tion authorizing him to exercise the power. my
argument showed that I agreed with him on
that point. If he denied the power, my argu.
ment showed that did not agree with him in
the denial. But, sir, do not deem it neces-
sary for me, in the discharge of my duties here.

comes in conflict with the opinion of the Presi-
dent of the United States or not / state fac t

President is right, [ will sustain him. When
think he is wrong, | have shown a willingness

that legislation was necessary; and am willing
to vote with all men who will furnish the reuui.
site legislation to carry out the provision of the
Constitution according to its true intent and
meaning.
Mr.. Davis.-There is no difference between
you and me on that point
Mr. Douglas.-l AIN glad to ascertain this
morning, that there will be no difference be-
tween us on that point; and think between
two such patriots, there cannot be any differ
