qualities which men would admire They ad-
mired courage in u game cock or bull dog.
Wendell Phillips said that all Virginia had to
offer to the bravest and most honest and truth
full man in the world was gallows; but the phi
/ losopher did not add that Brown could find for
his great attributes no better employment than
cutting throats. But was it possible that the
South could believe sincerely that nine millions
of men in the West and all the Yankees in New
England, who be assured them were moral men,
had any previous knowledge of that miserable
riot at Harper's Ferry, or approved OF 1t after
wardsy The thing was altogether preposterous,
and he begged them to Withdraw their unjust
| aspersions.
As to Helper and his book, he asked if the
North had not good cause to make war upon
North Carolina for sending such pestiferous
man among them. The book had been given to
him three weeks ago, and was still in his trunk !;
he was told it consisted of statistics, and as he
confined his researches only to polite literature
he had not yet read it. As he had proposed his
| colleague Sherman as a candidate for Speaker,
| when the charge of indorsing the book was
made he went at once and looked into Chitty
on Bills to see how far he was liable for ndorsng
| the indorser. Laughter. He supposed all the
indorsers, being, like himself, only given to po-
lite literature, had not read the book they knew
not what they did; father, forgive them. Laugh
ter He did not believe the book, ever so widely
circulated, would change the opinion of one mg.s
| in the country. Was this Union to be overturned
because one man advised another not TO stop at
| certain hotels! He recollected a remark of Oil
| yer Cromwell, when told that Quaker had writ
| ten a3pamphlet against him, and called him a
| man of blood Cromwell replied :" If my Gov
| ernment cannot Withstand paper bullets it may
go down.
Stanton, of Ohio said the book was not pub
| lished at the time of the Endorsement. 1t was
| to be compilation from a larger work. made up
of statistics, the compilation to be made under
| the auspices of some half dozen gentlemen, one
| of whom he believed was Blair.
Corwin next spoke of the Fugitive Slave Law,
| declaring that the majority of the Republican
party in Ohio were in favor of its enforcement
| as long as it remained on the statute book
Barksdale inquired if they had not turned out
a Judge of the Supreme Court for deciding that
it was constitutional.
| Corwin thought that might have been one
cause, but they succeeded him with another good
man, who came from Mississippi. He believed
the old law of 1898 was the better law.
Cox, of 0hio-There you differ from Daniel
| Webster, then.
Corwin-Yes, Webster was little weak on that
point. Laughter He had maintained every
where, during the canvas in Ohio, that the South
was entitled to good law for the reclamation
of fugitiyes, and he knew the sentiment of Ohio
was with him. Applause He proceeded to
answer various interrogatories this point.
He referred to the past history of the country
to show that misguided men had often opposed
the laws. He did not know of any harm the Re
publican party was doing. If it was doing harm
he would leave it now, for he would not hurt
| anybody, and wanted nobody TO hurt him. He
| regarded himself as the representative of South
| Carolina well as Ohio for they were sworn to
| support the Constitution of the whole United
States. They met here TO interchange views and
| legislate for the whole country. Could they
not rise to the hight of that great argument I?
| He trusted every man would be ready TO shed
the last drop of his blood in defense of their com
mon country, and he knew of no occasion in
which the slavery question was likely to arise
during this session. Seward, he had no doubt,
was respectable man. and if there was any diff
ference between them he was right and Seward
| was wrong. Laughter. He hoped they might
go on and organize, and if they did not like his
| candidate, find better man if they could. In
| conclusion, he moved to lay the resolution on
| the table
| Yoices-"No! MOI"
Cox, of Ohio, replied to the remarks of Cor
win. He did not believe the Republican party
| approved his views, as here enunciated. He had
| understood that COrwin went into the Republ-
can party, with his national sentiments, for the
purpose of breaking down that sectional organi-
| ZatiOn. Ii was not true that he spoke the senti-
ments of his party their platform, and he
| thanked the gentleman for the increased Demo-
cratic vote in his (Cox's) district caused by his
national speeches He insisted that the Repub-
lican party in Ohio was party subversiye of the
i Union anu tne COnStllutlOn anu tndI Inelf COn-
yentlons were the slaughter houses of such ma
tional men as remained among them. He refer
red to the condition of political parties in Ohio.
| The Cleveland Convention, TO which aliusion
had been made, was got up for the sole purpose
| of intimidating Judge of the Supreme Court.
| They marched through the streets of Cleveland
the " Sons of Liberty j. II. Giddings at their
head-singing that revolutionary Marseles
| Hymn in French. The Yankees had nasal
twang, any how, and the French being also pc
culiarly nasal, he would have delighted to hear
that song thrill through the streets of Cleveland

| Laughter. j. R. Giddings presided over the
meeting; and, notwithstanding a disclaimer OF
his colleague (Hutchins) yesterday, he would
show that Giddings had advocated servile in
surrection in the exact language then quoted.
He read an extract from speech by Giddings
in the Thirty third Congress to that effect.
Hutchins, of Ohio, denied that this was the
same paragraph which was read yesterday
Cox said ii was the same in substance. He
would ask his colleague if he indorsed such a
| doctrine?
| Hutchins said when the House should be or
ganized and he gained the floor he would answer
any question, but not now.
Cox proceeded 10 comment on the composition
of the Republican party in Ohio, of which it had
| been said that Corwin gave it its complexion and
Chase its politics. He asked his colleague
| (Bingham) if he sustained the compromises OF
| 1850?
Bingham replied in the negative
| Cox proceeded to denounce the party in Ohio
| as sectional, and in favor of interfering with
| slavery i'll the States by violence He inquired OF
his colleague (Sherman) if he was opposed to the
Fugitive Slave Lawg
Sherman declined to answer anv more inter
rogatories, and said his colleague knew he would
decline. Applause and laughter
Cox insisted that Wendell Phillips was a fair
exponent of Republican principles, being identi-
| cal in doctrine with Horace Greeley and Cover
| nor Chase. All these isms, including free-love
| were connected by the dangerous doctrine of in
| divldual sovereignty, which Wendell Phillips
preached; and John Brown learned his lessons
| in the same school, 1t was true, the people OF
| the Northwest did not approve these doctrines
for the 10000 Democrats repudiated them. In
1860, he believed these revoutionists and insur-
rectiOnists would all be overwhelmed if they had
a conservative Cincinnati Platform, unaltered.
| He regretted to hear disunOn doctrines advanced
on that side of the chamber, for the great North
west was opposed to disunion f"ger sc or per
anything else. They could catch the music of the
Union quick the Highland girl at Lucknow
| could catch the distant sound of the slogan
from the bag-pipes of her clan marching to the
| rescue.
| NOBLE DEED.-The Salem Register gives the
following account of the gallant rescue of three
of the crew of the schooner Clio, wrecked at
Rye Reach, New Hampshire
The three others were rescued bv a young
man named Woodbury. n. Mace, of Rye, after
the most heroic exertions, and under circum-
| stances of such peril as warranted all around
