d mOtlon Of Mr. WHITE, .hs ssaals "a,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Goodwin.

A
recess was the postponement Of H b. 35O-
To prevent giving aid to fugitive slayes.
Mr. PLANTS, Of Meigs, rose to question
of privilege, and said: AS en- humble member
OF the House, and In the discharge Of his duty,
he had taken the occasion, on Friday last, to
express his views at some length upon the ques.
ton then under discussion. He said he would
not conceal the tact that the favor with which
his remarks were received by the House, and
the highly fatering notices bestowed upon his
effort by the Ohio Stale Journal, Cincinnati
Gazette, Cincinnati Commercial, Cleveland
Herald, and other decent papers, were exceed
ingly gratifying to him. But, until the appear
ance OF the Ohio Statesmaa of Saturday night, he
had feared that those notices were more fatter-
ing than his effort justified. On the appearance
Of the Statesman, however, he was enabled to
dismiss all doubts, and accept those notices as
the honest expression OF hoRest men.
Col, Manypenny, OF the Statesmaa, Mr..
PLANTS said, fully confirmed all that these
respectable papers had said, and did him the
personal honor Of speaking of him, Mr..
PLAN rs, In the following languages: 7 -
at Ia high lime that the people OF Meigs coun-
ty had dispensed with the services OF this mis-
erAble hypocrite and pretender, who Is an enc
my to the unity and peace OF onr country, the
foe Of our institutions as our fathers made them,

nave Drought the country 10 tne orink Oh ues,
tTuction, and who, If they are not put down and
banished from the public councils, will destroy |
the country, and break up the government, ",
Mr. PLANTS said he accepted this exh ibi
tion of baffled rage; of partizan malignity; OF
imbecile hate; OF imp0tent malice; OF stale
falsehood, and vulgar sang; this characteristic |
compound, the product of q brain in which the
Instincts OF the fox and hyena have COM
promhea' their 'lrrepressloe connlct py
partnership, as the nignest compliment wnicn
could nave Deen conferred upon MIN from such
asource. he, therefore, thanked Col, Many
penny for this volunteered confirmation Of the
estimate placed upon his effort by honorable and
patriotic men, the truth and power OF which
would have been only half endorsed withoutthe
"howl' OF this wounded conspiYatoT and accom-
pIiee Of trGitoys. 'is s5ai.
Mr.. PLANTS said his object was not to com.
plain OF this uDprovoked and ungentlemanly at
tack-this unconscious self frevelation Of the es
ntialblackguard; but to assure the Col. thai,
while he felt only pity for his imbecility, and
contempt for his malice, he still could not ac-
cept 30 signal favor without an acknowledge
ment, and that supposing the COL, like other
animals, bid but exhibit the true instincts OF his
nature, he could harbor against him no possible
grudge.
Mr. McCUNE said he felt called on to reply
to certain grave charges made against Repub
licans The gentleman from Licking said that
the Republicans had created public sentiment
against slavery, thus keeping up the under
ground misunderstanding TO John Brown raids,
&C. He said that degraded pulpit had shar-
ed largely in this mischievous work. g 't.1
Mr.. McCUNE then proceeded to read the
views OF slavery entertained By Wesley, Whit
field, Rowland Hill, Bishop Portens, Adam
Clarke, Richard Watson, of the British pulpit;
the testimony of the Quakers, the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches; OF Blackstone,
among juriss; and OF Washington, Moursc,
Marshall, Patrick >Henry, Henry Clay and John
Randolph, among statesmen. de Claimed that
from such sources as these, the anti slavery
sentiment OF the country had its rise. Even the
Democratic party as late as lc4S proclaimed
slavery an evil and that the purpose OF the De
mocracy was 10 "use all the powes clearly given
them by the national compact to prevent its
Increase, 70 mlugate, ana hnaily extirpate
the evil" de said the gentleman from
Licking has denounced Republicans and anti
slavery men as "nonow-nearted nypocrites
