Mr.. Lovcioy said, when Daniel Webster
spoke of the imposition Of Austria on hungary,
he remarked the earthquake and tornado have
powers AM the thunder has power, but greater
than these was the power Of public opinion,
and before this he proposed To arralgn Austria.
He mr.. I~.ovcjoy) proposed to hold up to the
re,ribution Of public sentiment. Slaveholdlng
in all its ~utrocity and hideousncsS. inst rs gem
tlcmen had here ~poiygamy. Public sentl-
rnent will burn and scour out slavery, and the

asking the gentleman from Missouri tNlr:
ClarkJ or any body else. You shed the blood
Of my brother twenty years ago, anu | am here

would spring up in Kentucky, and gentlemen
now here would find themselves displaced by
more moderate, and if it were not offensive, he
| would add, more sensible men. lie wanted to
! say in Charleston what he could say here.
Mr.. Bonham-You had better try It.
Mr.. Lovcjoy--I can 20 TO England and there
discuss the question Of Church and State, or
any other British institution. But if / go into
the slave States and talk against slavery where
is my protection?
Mr.. Miles (dem.) Of S. C.-Can you 60 to
England and incite the laboring classes there

under the Stars and Stripes. | claim ii. |
demand il.
Mr.. Eonham-We want you 10 assert it.
Mr.. Lovejoy--When you call us small far
mers, and apply other epithets against the
working people Of the North, we don't harm
you. liza mechanic from Pennsylvania were
TO 20 South and speak about the superiority of
white labor he would be held morally response
BILE. You would strip him and scourse him
by the hand Of 4 slave, and perhaps tar and
feather him.
Mr.. Barksdale-The meanest negro in the
South is your superior!
Cries Of 'order" from the republican side.
Mr.. Loyejoy, in speaking Of John Brown,
said he would not curse him. lie would pour
no execrations ,I.in old John Brown. lie con.
demncd what lie BROWN did. He disapproved
of his act. lie believed, however, that his pur-
pose was a good one and his motives honest
and truthful. john Grown stood head and
shoulders above any inan here until he was
strangled. ANY law to enslave man was as an
arrangement among pirates to distribute the
spoils. By what right do you OF the South
get together and enact laws that or my child
should be your slave? Every slave has 4 right
to rul away in spite of your laws, and to fight
himself away. We're he (Lovejoy) a slave, and
were it nrce:e'ry to achieve his freedom, he
would not hesitate to fill up the clasm and
bridge it over with the carca>srs of the slaln.-
He loved the South.

Mr.. Lovejoy-So it was with the Saviour.
They didn't love him. Uaughter) Gentle.
men who talked Of dissolving the Union could
no more do it than they could stop the shining
of the sun. Virginia, instead Of clothing her
self in sleeps gray, should clothe herself in
sackcloth and ashes, on account Of slavery, ami
ought TO drink the waters Of bitterness.
Mr. Martin, (dem.) Of Eirginia-lf you will
come into Virginia vi will hang you higher
than we did John Brown.
Mr.. Lovejoy-No doubt of it.
