simpb and forcible facts in regard to the
barbatous twin relies, Polygamy and
Slavery, when the Southern chivalry,
madenedat the sight Of their own sins,
belched forth at him in the most bitter
invectiu aud insulting language their
haush rain could conceive.
In tn i Interruptions called him ''ras
CAL "Ncsro Chief" "Perjured Negro
&C., amid all of which Mr.. Loyejoy
continued apparently calm dealing out
slsdge hammer blows to his opposers-
Tho following extract from the Press C
Tibaae's correspondent explains the re
mxinder Of the scene:
"Busnett Of Kentucky, who stood near
Lotjoy, now roarcd out in his stentor-
ian voice that Mr.. Levejoy should never
make that speech to this House. Judge
Kellogg, who had been in distant part
Of the chamber, hearing these words,
moved his way through the crowd to
tho side Of Loyejoy, and said in a voice
equally clear and distinct with that Of
Burnett, "MY COLLEAGUE SHALL
SPEAK /! He shall say what he pleases
in this House, provided he does not vio-
late any Of its rules Dejarnette here
rushed towards kellogg with his hand
upon his revolver, but before he reach
ed him lie found tho way blocked with
Republicans. The best fighting muscle
Of the Republican side now surrounded
Lovcjoy First and foremost there was
Farnsworth !; then there was the giant
Potter Of Wisconsin, Miilward Of Phila-
dclcphia, who is the strongest man in
Washington, and who is not ignorant Of
the art of self defense: French of Maine,
who is six feet three in his stockings
and muscular in proportion ; Tompkins
Of Ohio, who would be an ugly customer
for any I've man 10 encounter; Bufin-
ton Of Massachusetts,, jolly but gamy !;
Beale and Kenyon Of New York, good
men and true, who would be in at the
death and many other six footers, with
long and strong arms which they were
read; to raise the moment the first blow
was struck upon the other side. The
mace Of the Sergeant Arms had BY
this time had the effect Of lulling for a
moment the tumult.
The Southern DULLES were overawcd
Mr.. Lovejoy, during all this excitement
was perfectly calm, and seemed 10 be the
only unmoycd man in the House. t
is rule Of the House that member
shall either speak from his seat or from
the Clerks desk. As objections had
been made by the Southern members to
his speaking in the area, he went up in
10 the desk and continued his speech, his
eloquent tones rising above the inter.
ruptions Of the slave, drivers. Attempts
were for some time made to badger him
in his speech, the term . liar" coming at
him as fast as he rotten eggs few around
him in the oldcn time but after while
the bullics subsidcd, and he concluded in
quiet.
This speech vas in itself one Of the
greatest efforts Of Mr. Lovejoy. After
the adjournment this afternoon, Pryor
paradcd the streets to meet Lvyejoy.-
The latter coming Gown tho avenue in
company with number Of other stalwart
Republicans, the assassin concluded when
the opportunity which he sought was
offered him, that discretion was the bet
ter part Of valor. This is no idle rumor
1T is as we'll known as that Loyeioy
made his speech. The fact is, Pryor
was sent to Congress because he was
skilled in all the arts OF assassination
lie simply proposed to coolly,
deliberately murder him-provided Love
JOY would act as Southern gentleman
ought to act" This was what Reuben
Davis meditated in regard to Van Wyck.
1t is what Northern members must be
prepared to meet, and guard themselves
accordingly.
