the gentleman did not give 80
a say that explanation OF this matter the gen.
tieman does not give; but he tries 10 draw the
Inference, from his partial extract, that because
referred TO the prejudice against blhoks In
America, am In favor, or was then In favor,
OF negro equality 10 civil or social matters. No
such Inference as that can bo drawn from what
said. never favored any such equality at
any period Of my life. Never. From the time

white men. Our laws and institutions were
framed for them alone. Because 1 recognise
the fact that negroes have souls to be saved,
even as white men, or because l stated their
equality 10 tle spiritual sense, asitisrecognized as
by the Catholic church, it does not follow that
favor or that any Catholic faVors the doctrine

30 much for that. Il is q trihipg business,
but II seems to have been matter OF great i'm.
portspce IN the mind Of my colleague. He has
spent three or four weeks in getting up this re-
ply, and he comes here to deliver il when we
are 10 the last days of the session, and while
we are seeking to draw the public business of
Congress to an end. He gets his colleague
Mr.. Ashley into the chair 90 that he NAV get

politics in years gone by. He luSs into his

ago become obsolete among the lowest scayen-
gers Of his own party. refer to il to show the
animus Of his speech and the slang of its style.
No Republican in my district but will be
ashamed OF such an attack upon me. The gen.
tleman ought TO be ashamed Of himself He
ought 10 hide his head. He ought not to come
here sgain standing 10 the attitude of q man.
He "a beneath even the negro whom he strives
TO place on an equality with himself. He de-
serves no consideration among gentlemen. No
man does, who By such means seeks to place
another in false position. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself, air! Laughter Bat

story Of an old Yankee lady, who, as she wen
to bed one evening, was so thirsty that shG
