Correspondents of Ohio Statesman
The debate in the Assembly ran higher
to-day, or rather OIcer, than ever. 1t was
reserved for Mr.. Galloway, of0bio, TO cap
The climax Of vulgarity and demagogism.
He certainly cutdid himself in low allu>ions,
false assumptions, bitter invective, personal
abuse. and in every other mean thing that
could charactiZe an orator who appeared to
be at the same time both a tnol and a hendl
| grant this is strong language, bur not a
whit more so than the truth will warrant.
His manner was monstrou,! A dancing
monkey motions were graceful to it. In.
deed it was awful Sublimely ridiculous.
His twistings and bodily contOr;iOns, could
they have been photographed, would have
furnished comic almanac makers with an
almost hmitless number of groteSQue sam.
plies for all time to come. Besides his dis
| gushing egotism, his ~selfrighteOus lauda
tons, his canting use Of Scripture, hi>
hoasting, dirty inslnuations, in a word, his
scurrility and blackgurdism exceeded any
thing Of the kind it was ever my painful
mi,fnrtnne TO hear.
The fact is, he diSgraced himself. his
Presbytery, his Church, this Assembly. and
| religion generally. by his long, vile, illngi-
cal, and most wickedly imprisoned har-
rans ue. 1t brought a tinge of sh M on
the check of his best friends. Sons who
had no personal acquaintance with HIM,
| thought he had a Highland gill'' in his
cheek. But it is declared that he is a Rad
zeal temperance man. This most u%nfortu-
nate exhibition of vulgarity and malignity
was called forth by a resolution Of DIR. Board
man, on yesterday. on the unwarranted and
| wickad course eing pursued by the major
ity of the Assembly in regard to Gov. Wick
life, Jr., Steward Robinson and DR.. Wilson,
delegates from the Presbytery ofLouisviIle,
because said Preshytcry did publish to the
world a strong statement on the illegal pro
cedure of the General Assembly of last year
in Pittshurg.
Mr.. Galloway boldly affirmed that "a
word spoken against the Assembly was trea-
son and the speaker a traitor" that DIR.
Boardman was a traitor, and his speach yes
terday treason, and till he washed his hands
of the blood of this hellish crime, he Mr..
&. would never sit down with him at the
Lords table, These were his words
His speech. as published in the Democrat,
may be bad enough; but as that sheet is ex-
cecdingly Radical, and the only one that in
tends to give verbatim reports phonograph-
ically taken, and as Mr.. Galloway's friends
were shocked at the outlandish indecencies
and falacics of this unfortunate affair, some
of the more vulgar and b~lasphemous parts
may be omitted. ".
But | weary you. Mr.. Galloway surely
forgot himself to-day. He has disgraced
| hin,ee forever in the estimation not only of
Christian gentlemen, but in the opinion OF
the ungodly world. Why he did 50 no one
can tell. Ii was unprov0ked and unexpec
ted. He was not called to order by either
member or No ~lerator, as the latter reques-
ted the assembly to permit great latitude"
Of Discussion. 1t was as good as a monkey
show to the populance--some of them hiss
ed, others cheCId! 10y 90
Thus we go-ao to pieces as a Chuch Of
Christ. 1t is alarming to witness how rap
idly and specifically the legitimate buNi
ness of the Assembly is passed over, and
how eager many are to take up the unit
nished business" relating to Louisville Pres
bytrry, etc. 1t is pointul to say it, hut
many think and say that this Assembly has
done far more against the interest OF true
religion in this city since it convened last
weef than the big horse races that have
been in progress here tofSome tiule! What
a curse Radio ism Is!
But | weary you. So, for the present, |
close. sorry that the great State Of Ohio
has been disgraced 5y the only two really
unsufferably Radical, and di.gustingly yul-
gar speeches in this Assembly so far.
We, on invitation, go on Il visit to Iron
Mountain Ia distance of ninety niles on
Saturday. OF that trip you may expect an
account hereafter. SIG.
