HOUsE OF REPRESENTATIVES,


HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Mr.. McCLERNAND lad. Dem, d. rose TO per-
soral explanation saying that his colleague FARMS
worth had in effect charged him with having sup
pressed tain resolutions of the Illinois Democracy
the subject of Slavery In his Farnsworhs speech the
parliamentary reflection upon him (McClernand.)
Mr.. FARNSWORTH Rep, Ill., replied that all he
sought TO do to let the South and the country know
where the Douglas Democracy of Illinois stand They
declare they want no Congressional test on Slave
ry slave code revival of the African savetrade,
and assert that Slavery is municipal local insti
tuition. He heard yesterday the speech OF Mr.. Doug
las who proposes a slave code by making ii penten-
tary oense for any person to interfere with the rela
ton of master and slave.
Mr.. LOGAN (Ad. Dem, ILL., said that so far as the
Democracy of Illinois concerned they can take
OF themselves; and if his colleague Farnsworthl
would attend to his own platform, he would act with
little propIety. With regard TO the Slave Code 1t
was none of Mr.. Farnsworth's business. The dis
tnguished Senator proposed that law be passed to
open the doors OF the Penentary to those VINO inclte
treason and instruction and those who band together
to run away fugitive slaves from their masters. lie
suspected bis colleague desired no such law, for
fear it might affect some persons living where Mr.
Farnsworth did.
Mr. FARNSWORTH inquired what did Mr.. Doug
las propose, but Slave Code
Mr. LOGAN said he Endorsed every point of Mr..
Douglass BILL which was merely TO suppress c0nsplr-
aces for attracting the rights of sister States. lie did
not know his colleague was engaged In such things
but hB constituents bad Endorsed them, and ministers
had preached sermons holding up JOHN Brown as a
martyr.
Mr. FARNSWORTH repeated that Mr.. Douglas
proposed to pass Slave Code for the protection OF
Slavery wherever it exists, notwithstanding the
Douglas Democracy In Illinois had declared Slavery
mere local and municipal institution. That is the MIS-
cradle sophstry and position OF the man his colleague
logan worships. 1t became necessary Tor Mr.
Douglas to make bid for Southern support, and he
rolls over III dirt and goes for Congressional Slave
Code His colleague had talked about sending Repub-
lcans to the penitentary. He had no doubt that the
man his colleague wOrships would be glad 10 send the
Republicans TO the peniTentiary till after the next
election Laughter. We expe; Il 10 get him into the
penitentiary before be gets there.
Mr.. McCLERNAND resumed his personal explana,
ton saving in conclusion that Mr.. Farnsworth had
given an erroneous Interpretation 70 MIR. Douglass
proposition and that such Incorrect exposition orlgl-
mated in Mr.. Farnsworths preludices and hostility 10
Mr. Douglas and the Democratic party.
MI CORWIN Rep, Ohio resumed his remarks
from Yesterday eayng: We stand with the Fathers of
the Republic and the Constitution, and Whatever may
be the opinions of this day, should not be accused
of treason while we adopt the doctrines OF jefferson
Madison and Monroe. If we were wrong these OLD
gentlemen were wrong and if we are right then
the Democratic party wrong. de wished 10 pre-
sent question of logic. 1t was SAID thai Mr.. seward
being the head and leader OF tbs KepuDncan party
had proclaimed at Rochester that there must be some
conflict between free and slave labor and that IN con-
sequence of that declaration John Brown had deter,
