Mr. FsssrsnrS, en) OF Me-, in reply TO Mr. Onanasl, %
sad be had been accustomed TO sitting here ana eh-
ing 10 THESE long prepared attacks upon severa genue
men, and particularly upon himself coming from e
Senator from Michigan. What TO say IN reply 70 sieh
remarks from any other Senator he should have NO
DOUBT; but IN regard TO what had been SAID nY tnat
Senator Just now he was at loss TO know Just whas 70
say IL evident that the speech was prepared anu
intended as al attack upon himself Mr.. Fessshden
He had alluded 10 him and again as tue con-
servave Senator from Maine, and, IN copnecuon WIN
that ausion, had gone describe several occasohs
which the conservatives had endeavored 10 unto
with the democrats order overthrow the republican
party applying the same term them that he had ap-
pied to him. know said MIR. Fessepden, u - inpos'

fairs. II has been confined 70 this body ana tne
other House, but il has even gone into the reporters
Offices, whore have been denounced in the same way,
and divers and sundry charges have gone in the same
way. But my notion Is that the reputation OF puuho
will OF ITSELF and that whom he does right
the public will 10 determine he had been twitted with

They got their recommendations from their superior

They are out Of the service entirely. Ae had

he (Mr. Fessenden) conservative because
OF his vote ON the adjournment last spring,
with the Senator from New York (Mr Conklng), the
Senator from Illinois tMr. Trumbullk and one OF
the senators from Massachusetts, (Mr WILSON,. and
great many others he might name why, then, was
this attack made upon him? Because he happened TO
with decided majority OF this body upon this
question: Senators be at liberty to act according
to their judgment In such matters He had no fear
whatever OF the most critical examination Of his course
any Other He would leave bis pubic character to take
OF ITSELF II no had tho slightest idea that any
thing that the Senator from Acngan could SAY wouo
Affect it before the people OF this county, he should
look upon himself with contempt which he did not feel
In conclusion, Mr. Fessenden said the time had come
whom there very difference OF opinion IN
Congress upon y very Important question. He had
sidered that upon that question was not proper for
Senators 10 express an opinion, to form
HIS idea was that mon who might be called to act
judges should keep themselves from anything that
might be supposed TO influence their decisions IN ad-
vance With regard TO this great question as matter
OF policy matter Of good sense, ne mad not withheld
his opinion from his friends and perhaps that opinion

before the Senate he trusted he should be able TO
meet IL calmly and vote upon It fairly whether with
the majority or the minority.
