kindness, for moment. l believe this
is republican honse. ] believe the re-
publicans have a majority in il. ] believe
the committee was appointed by a repub
lican speaker, for specific purpose. Do
you believe we, ~ committee, were
base aud vile and dishonest enough t.
betray the trust rrposed in usY Ii ~,
nation. But il is sail we must not break
down the republican PARTY. have been
in Congress some little time, aud have
seen various ,igating committees,
when the republicans were not IN power
in the lmini>tratinn, and IN those days
found my republican friends al ways m
hand, IN season and out of season, to do
tect aud punish these fraads. If fraul'
we're detected, they Went before the
country; AMI the country hurled from
power the men WIN hal committed the u.
What was then said in relation u thes"
matters? Way, when we anuounceI To
the country that these fran'ls were coa''
mttel, the party in power SAN 'hat Tue
frauds were conmittei.by men for whose
acts the party was not re~p,ns'hl'.--
What was our reply tn this! What the
reply of the republicans? Ii was, u br
snre You would no; b. Responsible in the
firs, instance, bit when y.mr investigat-
in.r committee disclose all the facts. ail
placed the particulars on record, instead
of your coming ont and voting npon
them, and cenSuring the parties who
committed their, you are fnnnd on the
record supporting aud sustaining them
| do not propose To place myself IN that
predicainent. When / suspect q repnh-
ic.n of committing fraud, | fe''l vastly
more inclinei to expose AMI punish him
than I would democrat, for he brings
disgrace and dislionor upon the party Ia
which he belongs. AMI are we to imi-
tate his example? Are INV republican
friends willing To stand TI the rec ,r'l n
the iniorsers Of these frauds? Or will
they 20 with me, aud ssv to their con
stituents, when we fpnnd these franl-
existed what dill we do? a. republicans
we appointed a committee, a. republicans
we made al investigation, AMI as repnb
LEANS we voted cond nnation on the
thieves and tine ,bhers aud plundererS
of all parties, wherever we foiad them.
How should we stand before the comtrv
a. a party if we act otherwise? il is
f,reshaiowel by the member from New
York, who clainprS 10 nave the commit
tee disbandcd. Let that gentlemen ir.
Cnnkling) come up. / here call upon
him to intro luce his extraordinary resi
luton, and IL the COMMITTEES have not the
confidence of the House sn1 Of the re-
publican party, let it he voted down. 1t
may be a very harmless thing To pnnis''
frauds aud robberies in time of peace,
but in time of war, when the national
treasury is betrayed, when it Is reeliny
under the attacks of thieves and plua'
dererS, can we. "a representatives OF n
con6ling and loyal people, stand here aud
support these robbers aod jobbers p
