HorsE.-Mr, McClernand rose. to privileged
question, and said that his colleague. Nr. Farms
worth, had in eaec: charged him viii having
suppressed ceFtnin resolutions of the Illinois
Democracy GU the subject Of slaTcry, in lis
tFaFnsWorh's) speech, the other day. The
charge was unfounded and unparlianentary,
rejecting on HIM (sicCternand).
Mr.. Farnsworth replied, that ntl lie sought

where the Douglas Democracy of Illinois stand.
They declare that they want no new Congress
sionat test Of slavery, no slave code, no new re-
rival of he African slave trade and that slavery
is mere municipal local institution. He hearl
yesterday the speech Of Nr. Douglas, who ia
rored s!ave code By making it penitcntiary:
offence tor any person to interfere with the re-
latlon Of MASTER and slave.
AIT: Logan said that's far as the Democracy
OF Illinois were concerned, theF eau take care
Of themselves, and il his colleague {Fafnsworth}
Tonid attend to his nWn farm be would act with
little more proprictf. As 10 the slave code, II
was none Of Mr. Farnsworth's business. The dis
tlngu1shcd1 gentleman proposed that a law be
passed to open the doors Of the peniteutiary to
those who incite treason and insurrection, and
those who band together to run away s!nyes
from their masters. He suspected his colleague
desired no such law for fear be it might infect
some persons living where Mr.. Farnswor,h
does,
Ar. Farnswo1th inquired what did Mr. Doug
las propose but 4 slave codeY
:. Sir. Locsn said he endorsed every point Of
Mr. Dougias's bill, which was merely to sup.
press conspiracy, for infracting tho rights Of
kister<:states. lie did not know his colleague
wns engaged in such things. but his constitu-
ents bud endorsed them, and ministers had
preached sermons holding up John Brown
martyr.
Mr, Farnsworth repeated TINT Mr.: Douglas
proposed to pass a s1ure code for the proiec-
tion Of slavery wherever it exists, notwiih-
standing the Douglas' Democracy in Illinois
had declared sluvery mere local and munici-
pal institution. That Is the miserable sophis-
try aud position Of: the men his colleague Lo.
gaa) worships. It became necessary for Mr..
Douglas to make bid for Southern support,
aud he goes for = Congressional slave code.
His colleague had talked about sending Repuh.
licans to lilo peniten,iary. lie had no doubt
that the man his colleague worships would be
glad to send the Republicans to the peniten-
,iiary till afier tho next election. Laughter.
We expect 10 get him into the penitentiary
Hr. AcClernaud resumed his personal ex-
planation. In conclusion, he said that Ar.
F4rnsworth had given false Interpretation to
Mr. Douglas position, and that such incorrect
