Senator from Kentucky, and he replied
/ that he would not, and on that statement
Democrat after Democrat voted to give him
| the privilege. I did not believe what he
said, and therefore voted against It..
| LAUGHTER
l When the member rises and announces
that the Senator from Kentucky has been
guilty of falsehood deny 1t. / hurl It
back. and say TINT the character of that
Senator is as good rs that Of anv man upon
earth. He never did wilfully tell lie, and
no man ever before accused him Of 1t.
When the member said that the Senator
was shielded by his age. and that he did not
| seek the proper redress, have only TO say
that while nv Senator is neither bully
nor blackgIard, the member can get any
redress from him that he seeks outside Of
| this hall or anywhere else. [LanChter.]
do not believe that it lies in
| the mouth of the member from
Massachusetts to talk about my Sena-
tor, being shielded by his age or not
seeking proper redress. I have witnessed
] scenes with that member which satisfied
| ME that he would not seek the redress to
Which he allndes. [Laushter.] He does
not forget that have, in the presence Of
fifteen members Of The House, seen the
| member from Illinois (Farnsworth) put his
fist in the face Of the member from Massa-
! chusetts, and denounce him in every way
that one man could denounce another, I'M
| til had to say to the other members of the
| committee standing by that I did not think
] there was anv white man that would take
it without fight, and that the decent ne
groes in my State would fight over it.
[Uproarous laughter.]
Mr.. Farnsworth (dersively): 1t was on
account of his extreme age, perhaps.
IN To In
is not Il white man.
Mr.. Eldridge Now is the proper time to
call in the chaplain. Continued laughter
Mr.. Cox: The coroner should be also
sent for.

of the Democratic Congressman to the
People of the Country" signed by II Sem

cludes:
Everything that malicious ingenuity
could suggest has been done to irritate the
people Of the middle and southern States
by gross and exaggerated charges Of dis
order and violence, which had their origin

ayers in the Senate and House Of Repre-
seniatives, and to which we regret to say
the Executive has given his aid, and
thus helped to influence the popu-
lar feeling. In all this course of hos
tile legislation and harsh resentment
no word Of Cancellation, Of kind en-
lcouragcmcnt or fratcrnal fellowship, has
ever been spoken by the President or Ivy
Congress to the people of the southern
States. They have been addressed only in
! the language of prescription. We earn

peace and order, 10 carefully protect the
| rights OF every citizen, to preserve kindly
| relations among all men, and to dscountc-
nance and discourage any violation OF the
| rights OF any portion Of the people secured
under the Constitution or any OF its amend

| In conclusion, we earnestly beg of YOU
moi to aid The present attempts Of Radical
partisans to stir up strife in the land, to re-
new the issues Of war, or to Obstruct the
return Of peace and prosperity to the
southern States, because 1t is thus that they
seek to divert the attention Of the country
from the corruption and extravaganza in
| their administration OF public affairs, and
| the dangerous and protiigatc attempt they
are making towards the creation of ccn-
traizcd military government.
