The bill making appropriations 10
carry in 10 effect the treaty stipulations
with the Indians Of WASH gton aud
Oregon, was reported from the Com
mttee Of Finance and passed.
Mr. Browns resolutions were taken up
and Mr.. Wade spoke He said tho re-
solutions embodied the principal differ
ences regarding which the country Isl
now agitated, The loudest complaints
in regard TO the Administration come
from those who had been in power for
many years, who had moulded the prin-
cipels OF tho government and had their
own men in Office. Yet those who have
been thus favored, threaten to tear down
the structure Of government because of
its mal-administration. He could deduct
no other conclusion than that those who
had been in power could not properly
administer the government Further, he
did not believe a single man from the
Slave States could look him in the face
and say that the South had not had its
iull share in the control of the govern
ment. In fact she had more than her
Just share in proportion to her population.
No one then was to blame for what the
South complained Of, but those who had
had the government undCr their control
Ihe Senator from Georgia at one time
talks Of the beauty and prosperity Of the
Southern Statos, Now these winnings
ana complaints Of aggression and seces-
sion are entirely out Of place. AT one
time their prosperity and happiness is
their pride and boast and the next mo-
ment ruin stures them In the face. The
Senator from Georgia had said in tones
OF anger and with despair depicted on his
face, that Senators on this side OF the
Chamber were enemies % the country
and must not be placed in power
rs would now proceed 70 review some
OF the arguments and some OF the Viiu-
perations Of that speech. He acknowl- |
edged the Senator as one Of the ablest
and most experienced members Of the
Senator, and if he failed, to make out bis |
case It might be said of him as of another
noted individual, he failed where Satan I
could not stand, The charges against
Northern Senators of perjury and cow
ardlce grated harshly on his ears, particu-
larly Che lutter charge. Did the Sena- /
t0F believe itl If he did believe 90, and
he lad no boubt thut he did, from the
license Of his language ifhe thought they
we're all non-combatunts, he still would 1
not believe that the Senator wished 70
gain a cheap reputation for yalor at their
expense. il was known 10 every body
hat the northern people were opposed to
3uelling as relic Of bu. lharism, aud that
J man who practiced il at the isorth was
deprived Of al! offices oi honor, trust ana
1rofit, and looked upon as a criminal and :
brown out Of society.
+Ntf NF"i'N nea nc iuu MACg SUCH :
Illegations against the Northern people,
,ut had said that those who had proved
aithless 70 their honorable obligations
md talked Of marching tleir millions
Iglinst the South, were not men who 4
lad the courage to carry out their threats. o
Dir. Wade said be had put d broader e
construction on the Senator's language
han he (foombs) had put upon L, and
vas glad 70 hear bis explanation. He'll
believed himself that a man who would I
eully commit perjury was likely 70 be :
estitute Of courage. He agreed with
he people Of his section that duelling /,
Taa unnecessary ID civilized countries,
