,iye IN hissexperlonce, as this was
! general class. meeting, He had
pledged himself to his constituents
n Brown county TO vote against
he resolution. and be did not ask
% be released from that pledge. BE
should now so vote.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, as one OF the
.wentY.three. explained that be
rad voted against the resolution
before because the vote was forced
upon the members prematurely,
and because he believed that lis
adoption would not subserve the
Dterests Of the Union party at
hat time. He then, and still be.
ieved, the principles Of the reso.
luton to be right. Some of his
constituents had asked him to vote
against the resolution; out, rather
than see it fail, he would vote for
II tonight. He believed in the
principle because it was giving
equal and exact rights to all; be-
cause it was democratic; because
tie Monarchs Of Europe were op.
posed to it;because Exeter Hall was
exercised upon it. To vote against
it was to vote as despotism in Eu.
rope would have him. There
it was not a question Of color, but
Of property, but the principle was
the same. Those born upon this
soil should have a voice in the Gov.
ernment.
Mr.. Gardner was satisfied with
the vote he cast before against the
resolution, and should do the same
again, under the same circumstan-
ccs. He did not do it then because
he believed tho principle was
wrong, but he thought that. it
would be good policy to postpone
action until the Constitutional
Convention. He was now satisfied
that at that time he was wrong
He was proceeding at some length
in favor of the principle involved,
when the time allotted him ex-
pired.
Mr.. Hare made a speech against
the resolution, from the Democrat
ic standpoint. He despised the
tactics Of gentlemen who rendered
their resignation. and claimed
when not accepted, that they we're
compelled by the Democrats to vote
for the resolution. Abiding to
the Connecticut election he said

the lamp holds out to burn the

House proceeded to vote, while
stiffness prevailed, though the floor
galleries and lobbies OF the HOUSE
were densely thronged. AS i
was appaI ent that every Unior
vote represented in the hall mus

as the oll-call proceeded, was al
most breathless. Every membe
