HOUSE.
A point Of order was raised on Friday
BY Mr.. Loake, % to the admissibility Of Mr..
Penningtons plurality resolution, and this
morning IL was passed over Informally.
Mr., underworld indulgod the hope that By
this debate the people Of the South had been
aroused 10 their position in the Union, and
have become fully acquainted with the ends
and aims Of the Republicans.
II would be neither truthful, profitable
or just TO speak Of tho Republicans other
wise than as the Abolition party, whom he
regarded as utterly unmindful Of their con,
stitutional obligations In the course Of his
remarks he said he wanted a united South
and the South 10 demand nothing TO which
they we're prey 10 faction. This is not thrp
time to form new party when the Repub-
lieans endanger the Union. No man at the
South is willing 10 dissolve the confederaoy
unless their rights are disregarded and the
Constitution violated. Let the CRY be Jusi
ticc and the Constitution. Let there be
union Of true men Of the South with true
men Of the North for the preservation of
that instrument The Democratic party is
the only hope Of the country.
Mr.. Hill in explaining, said there were
many gentlemen in political life who, though
now cooperating with the Republicans, do
not cordially sympathize with them. A Uni.
on party was proposed, based on attachment
10 the Government and the enforcement Of
oil laws Would 1t be national misfortune
to make such division Of the Republican
party2
Mr. Underwood wished to know what ov.
idence he had that any portion Of the Re-
publicans would join new party.
M Htu ranl;od that a ,.n.t.a. r Al
tlemen who were elected on the People's
ticket, had shown their nationality by voting
for Mr.. Gilman. He hoped this class of men
would unite with the Union party and SEN
arate from the Republicans.
MIR. Underwood responded by saying that
showed they were sectional men by first vo
ting for Mr.. Grow, and then for Mr.. Sher-
man many times. He would tell his col
league that at no time or place, or under
any circumstances, would he trust mis- con,
stituents in the hands Of Thaddeus Stephens.
Neither would be 90 into political associ-
alton with him.
Mr. Hill wished to know whether his coli
league would spurn afiliation with Mr. Coch
rane on the Buffalo platform.
Mr. Underwood replied that John Coch-
rane, who was absent, could speak for him
self
Mr.. Hill-If he would help you to Dem.
ocratic majority, very we'll.
Mr. Underwood replied he would not
break down the constitutional party at the
North to make new party.
Mr.. Hill said the new party was predcae
ted on the good sense Of the American peo-
pie
Mr.. Underwood contended that the South
were as patriotic as the Pa, members, Why
not, then, were the latter as good as the for,
mer.
He eulogised the Democratic party, and
commented on the conduct of the Southern
opposition regarding their votes for Speaker.
No reason had been given why these %
gents, had not voted for the Democratic
nominee. Mr. Larabee who, with othcrs, |
participated in the debate, asked Mr.. Hill
whether the latter entertained prospective
principles against foreign born citizens, on
account of certain religious opinions.
MIR. Hill replied that he had not changed |
n sentiment since 1874, had ever thought
that intelligence being equal he should vote
for native in preference to a foreign born |
(Applause
Mr.. Larrabee-The gentlemen are wide !
as the poles apart.
Mr.. Hill-Because our constituents are. |
Mr.. Larrabee replied, though he represen'
ted the largest naturalized constituency of
any man in the House, he would vote for a
South American in preference to Republil
can.
Mr.. Underwood wished to know how
many Southern oppositionists would vote for
Northwestern or Southern Democrat
Mr.. Stokes said he had already stated that
in the contingency between a Democrat
and Republican he would vote for sound
conservative Democrat He would not vote
for man who was in favor of Judge Doug.
las, with squatter sovereignty principles, for
the Presidency.
Mr.. Hatton wanted to know if Mr.. Under.
woods Northwestern Democratic friends
were willing to vote for the protection of
slavery in the territorias in form OF a stat,
ute
Mr.. Underwood did not doubt they were
for the reason the President said so, and the
Northern Democracy had never failed to
give the South all the rights they are enti.
tied to under the Constitution. (Applause.)
Mr.. Hatton wanted further to know If
they would support man who believed that
the people in a Territorial capacity would
have the right to legislate on the subject of
slavery, which he regarded as fallacy.
