Massachusetts,, and Senator Darts of Ken
lucky.
The subject before the the question of ad-
jourument. Senator Davis of Kentucky advocated
speedy adjournment, the ground that congress was
given over to unconstitutional and mischievous egisa
ton and that limit ought to be fixed when it should
finish up its necessary business quit the capital In
the course of his remarks he said
There are no better Union people within
the pale of the constitution in this broad con-
federacy than the Union people of the state of
Kentucky-none. There is not one voice in
a hundred, nor, l believe, in a thousand, in
that state, but what is raised now in the stern
est condemnation Of much of the legislation
of the present congress. You have passed
measures at the present session of congress,
that will be resisted by all the white population
of the state of Kentucky measures that are
unconstitutional, that are unwise, that are UNI
just, that are iniquitous, and that | would
counsel my people to resist by every mode of
resistance that they could devise.
Mr.. WILSON, of Massachusetts. I call the
senator to order for uttering reasonable senti-
ments on the floor of the senate.
The Presiding OFFICER (Mr. SHERMAN
in the chair.) The senator from Massachu-
sets calls the senator from Kentucky to or
der.
Mr.. DAVIS. He is no judge of treason.
Mr.. WILSON. | call the senator to order.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Senators will
take their seats. The senator from Massachu-
sets calls the senator from Kentucky to or
der. 1t is his duty to reduce the words to
writing, under the rules of the body.
Mr.. WILSON Mr.. president, the senator

gress has passed measures that the people of
Kentucky will resist, and | should counsel the
people to resist them by every means in their
power" | call the senator to order for utter
ing words of that character on the floor of the
American senate.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The senator
from Kentucky will proceed in order
Mr. DAVIS. The senator from MaSsachu-
sets has not taken down the words which
uttered. These were the words that | utter
ed, and l repeat them: that in my judgement,
the congress of the United States has passed
unconstitutional measures, and so far as those
measures are unconstitutional l will advise
my constituents to resist them. That is what
| said
Mr.. HOWARD and Mr.. WILKINSON, Oh, no.
Mr. DAVIS. What did | say, then?
Mr.. HOWARD. The senator from Kentuc-
ky inquiries what he said | listened to the
senator Of Kentucky while he was pronounce
ing the offensive language which has been
complained of and if nv memory serves me,
and | paid very good attention to what he said.
the language as taken down by the senator
from Massachusetts is correct.
Mr.. DAVIS. The gentleman from Massa-
chusetts does not pretend to take down the
words which | uttered. He only takes down
the substance. How then can the gentleman
from Michigan saw that the language as taken
nv the senator from Massachusetts was cor
rect when he does not pretend to take down
the language?
