true type of such a gentleman. How can
the honorable speaker quote Latin, when

make out case Cor Secession. He says,
as rule, the attacked party always de-
serves the most ympathy-intimatin
in the face of what is not true, that the
North attacked the South, when we all
know that Beauregard fired first shot at
Anderson-On that principle ne would OF

with better analogy, when discovering a
man maltreating n woman, or committing

Of that now Who ever heard of it until
Brooks brutally crept Behind the back of
Senator Sumner with biudgeon in hand,
with the intention of assass!natinS him in
the Senate Chamber, while his confeder-
ate Keitt stood by with loaded revolver to
see fair play? The chivalry are no longer

miles OF the chivalric Charleston Thank
God, l am Puritan and no Cavalier
am Roandhead and no Pretender,

pride myself on being a Yankee! The
honorable secessionist accuses the North
of frauds, and says from the FIRST until the
last President there has been nothing but
robbery and corruption. Now, rs [ have

right hon. secessionists who immediately
proceeded me disputed my statement that
the South robbed the North of fifty mil
lions sterling private debts, and fifty mil
lions sterling private property, and said
that when the Secesionists Commissioners
went to Washington they offered to pay
the administration all debts and SO forth.
Shades Of Reputation protect me.-They
pay why, gentlemen, an anecdOte will
best show how ridiculous is that statement
The first Secessionist, you know was Sa-
tan! He seeded from purer world, and
with Inimitiable check took our Saviour
on high mount, and offered all the king
doms round about if he would join his
Secession party, when every estate he had
was mortgagcd, and the poor devil had
not shilling in the world. He should
have given Mr.: Seward credit for eener-
osity for permitting the scamps to return
at all. You may comment, but had
O'Brien, and Mitchell, and Meagher pre-
sented themselves TO Lord John Russell
at Downing street in 1913 on similar
errand, how quickly they would have been
incar cerated in the Tower The gentle
man wants monarchy. During the
next few weeks he shall have the military
advantages of such a Government. The
game is up, and the hunters are starting
with the bugle. Long before Mr. Cowper
gets his drive through Hyde Park, or
Sir Robert Peel fights the O'Donoghue,
our Maniken traitors will be 10 more.
The Secessionits made one statement
about Southern courage which L must
rectifv. This is the same brag that one
Southcrner is equal TO three or four Yam
KEGS, and said that he himself was good
at anytime for two.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, if have a weak
point that is strong, that il the point, and
if you will suspend the rules and send out
for pair of gloves, l will soon prove to
YOU by facts-while he uses words-thar
there is one Northerner, at least. who
will make as short work of him physically
as he has done intellectually.
The challenged party became the chal-
lenger, but Mr. Trains proposition was
not accepted; and, during the excitement
created by the novel offer, the question
was adjourned until Wednesday.
