Mr.. Speaker, when the gentleman MAJ

bitterness no doubt in anticipation OF 4
damaging effect which that peaceful,
lent and constitutional monitor would

no wonder, therefore, that he should u
ture this resolution into an improper
,erpretstion for the purpose OF givi
4 vent AS he otherwise dared not do, 70
I hatred for that peaceful agent OF the pt
ple. His reference 10 votes and bal
boxes was certainly very uniortuna'
aud when he exultinsly exclaime
When the administration asks Tor me
you offer them votes when II asks
iron clads, you send Il ballot boxes!
