Mr.. DAVIS Un, MIDI said the question not
whether the speech delivered by the gentleman from
Ohio was REASONABLE within the law, but whether he
was WORTHY 10 be Representative OF the people oi the
United States. He did not envy those gentlemen VINO
had refused 70 expe the gentleman from Maryland iron
the House. and afteTaaId voted that lie was unworthy
to hold scat here. He argued that the House had tne
right and had exercised it, TO oXpel member, not ca
priciously but for something Wrong winch ne had done
The gentleman had proclaimed himself tle hlehd
of the enemies Of tie United STATES In Eio'
Iation Of his solemn oath TO sustain me
Constitution, he said rather than sustain
n 10 the extent Of determination Of us enemies,
he preferred its Destruction IT was not the freedom OF
speech he complained Of He was brave and honorable,
and h, thanked them for 1t. Ii revealed an enemy
unlike the gentleman from New ork (Nlr WoOd) Who
with similar sentiments concealed them. Laughter
He did wish 70 punish him for bus speeches but Tor
entertaining such sentiments. This was one of the
eases where. with without law, his expulsion was
necessary. 1t Was one o those quesuos Whefe mere
was no right 10 be on more than side. President
Buchanan scandazed the American name when he
said that the unconstitutional and that there
was no power 10 cOcTce sovereign States. Those who
had taken up and echoed this sentiment, and acted
upon il gave aid and comfort 10 the enemy.
When McC Celan and Fitz John Porter shall again bring
tbe Rebels within sight Of Washington when Vallan.
dgham shall rulein Ohio, Bright in Indiana Seymour
in Connecticut Woodward in Pennsylvania and when
the friends" Of Seymour in New-iCrk shall make the
streets run with blood and wien division shall prevail
throughout the States then those who have thus given
aid and comfort 10 the enemy. viii acknowledge their
masters at the South At every hazard OF his life
would he meet such antagonism.
