:. oouse ,,;oobt come INTO me, and would do him
ust;ep. ,, Mr.. Douglas lost his balance entirely,
and fell over into sea of wrath. Mr.. liales en-
phasis on the words 80 that !, was e1rehey
amusing and proyosiDg-amusng 10 the AUDIENCE
provoking to Mr. Douglas. In his anger MI
nouoios let bis secret out for he said %" expect to
give You, gentlemen, good deal OF trouble,
" before we get through with this question: Ihae
is his precise and only vbect-to embarraSS INC nc"
Administration. =,
There can be but one opinion respecting Inc lt in-
sultng cpthet applied to Mr.. Fessenden. lere
are few men in the Senate, perhaps none Desde oil
Douglas, who would say to the quiet, dighirea ohu
always gentemauly Senator from Maine, lou
state that which you knOu TO be false, unless
drunk. To give such man the lie direct is great
offense, and Mr.. Douglas will find that he VIII not
gain admirers in the civilized portion OF the country
by such conduct. .
Some of the friends Of the Sergeant-at- Arms OF
the Senate assert that | was mistaken IN staring
that be was present in the Senate Chamber "neh
the Outrage on Mr.. Sumner was comimtted' my
statement was based on the evidence OF genAe-
man who was present; but let the deniai go upon
record, as | would by no means do injustice 10 any
man. ,
The Connecticut newspapers inform us that the
delegation in the late Congress has been renOllhha,
ted, Messrs LOOInis Woodruff, Burnham, ana
Ferry arc all again in the field, nominated by ther
Republican constituents. Let one who has watched
closely their Congressional course say word Inther
| favor. The delegation was unit upon TIE "nOe
question of compromises or concessions 10 slavery
They refused to dictate any compromise TO the peo-
ple of the United States bat all voted in favor OF
National Convention. This was their position dur
ing the Congressional crisis" They were for Ma
tional Convention, elected by the people, and IN
which the people could adjust this Slavery question
rs they pleased and they were firmly against all at
tempts on the part Of Congress to compel the people
! to accept a particular mode OF settlement Iheir
course was open and frank; they were df'eays IN
their places and maintained their position III Inc
debate with much ability. Let the people oil Con
nectclt see 70 it, that these faithful men are re-
turned 10 Congress.
Some Of our newspapers down this way have
queer notions about courtesy and decency. one
Of them nj least has. The States newspaper pup
lishe, and edited by John Savage, esq, stated inc
other day that Mr.. Helper author OF " lhe Mn
pending Crisis" recently attempted To lecture -
DAYTON Ohio but that he could not attract an audi
eDce, and ran away from the place without paying
bis hall and hotel expenses. pretty serious charge
by the way against gentleman. Mr. Heiper was
IN town last week aud waited upon the publisher OF
The States and offered to prove that he bad never
been in all his life within 200 miles OF the STATE OF
Ohio, and politely asked a retractlon OF the false
statement. His request was refused.
Mr. Fesscudens declaration that the hcmiiislia-
| ton would exercise 40 doubtful powers and espte-
ciry would rot violate any law in an attempt 10
collect the revenues entirely satisfies Southern men
here that the stories started by the enemies OF MT
Lincoln that he il about to plunge the country mo
war without authority -arc entirely false III also
settles another question. Mr.. Lincoln Will make no
attempt 10 collect the revenues IN the seeded states
until Congress gives Lin the means to do so, IN the
present revolutionary condition OF those States.
Nr. douglas knew this before he made his tndsy
speech. but did not care TO use his information III
an extra session is called il will be for this purpose
! and nj present n seems a. be inevitable
