SENATE.

Mr.. WADE said the resolutions embodied the
principle differences which now agitated the
country The loudest complaints in regard to
the administration came from those who had
been IN power for many years, and who had
moulded the principles of the government, and
had their own men in office. Yet those who
had been thus favored threaten to crush down
the structure of government because of its
maladministration. He could deduce no 9TH
er conclusion than that those who had been in
power could not properly administer the gov
eminent. Further, lie did not believe a sim
gle man from the slave states could look him
Ill the face and say the south had not had its
full share in the control of the government.
In tact she had had more than her just share in
proportion to population. No one then was
to blame for what the south complained of but
those who had had the government under their
control. Now these winnings and complaints
of aggression and oppression are entirely out
of place. AT one time their prosperity and
happiness is their pride, and they boast, the
next moment that ruin stares them III the face
Mr.. WADE alluded to Mr.. Toombs' remarks,
saying that the charges of perjury and cow
ardice against northern senators grated harsh
ly on his ear 1t was known to everybody
that the northern people opposed duelling, and
that man who practlced 1t there was deprived
of all Office of honor trust, and profit, and was
looked upon as criminal and thrown out of
society He had felt that that sentiment was
righteous, as it had exposed them to insult
from those who construed forbearance into
want OF courage.
Mr.. FITCH supposed the speaker spoke for
the people of his own party in his section
There were men at the north who preferred
defence of their honor to holding office.
Mr.. WADE replied he spoke what he believed
was the sentiment of the northern people geneT-
a ifr,f bo 40
from Georgia had charged northern people
with being destitute of courage; yet when did
they disgrace themselves on quarterback, or
finch in the perilous breach!
MIR. TooMBs said he had not made such
allegations against northern people, but had
said that those who had proved taithless to
their obligations, and talked of marching their
millions against the south, were not the men
who had courage to carry ont their threats.
Mr., WADE said he had put broader construc-
ton upon the senator's language than he
(Toombs) had put upon it, and was glad to
hear his explanation. He believed, himself,
that the man who would really commit perjury
was likely to be destitute of courge. He agreed
with the people of his section, that duelling
was unnecessary in civilized countries, but it
might be necessary in a sembarbarous region
and with semi barbarous people The senator
had accused northern senators with being
faithless to their constitutional obligations, and
that they had perjured themselves by violating
their Oaths. Senators who utter these charges,
had told US that one blast from Virginia would
rally million men. To do what Why, to
tear down the structure of our government in
case OF the election of republican president.
II that was not treason and contemplated vio-
lation Of an oath, he did not know what trea-
son was. Mr.. W. then reviewed Mr.. Toombs'
argument at length, showing that the fugitive
slave law had never been resisted in Ohio
though regarded there and by himself as I'M
constitutional He expressed contempt for the
bred Scott decision which was got up for po-
litical effect, and argued that the south had no
right to carry slavery into the territories and
in conclusion, stated the principles of the re-
publcans, as he understood them.
Mr.. TooMBS said the senator either could
not comprehend his charges or was unable to
reply. He again stated them, and went on to
argue that the free states had violated the con-
sttution. The south felt no insecurity except
from invaders. She had never sent up petit
tons here asking protection for her industry.
She had not complained OF the manner in
which the government had been administered +;
but she did complain of the action of the state
government. Adjourned.

notes of disunion were never heard. The

southern dictaton, and are determined to sus-
tain the Union.
Mr.. BURNHAM made republican speech.
