There was no reason why the insroduo
tiou OF the resolution of coincidence with
the French people into the Springfield legis
lnture should have met with reference to q
committee, and much less excuse why it
should have been treated with derison.
The representatives OF the American people,
whatever their position may be, cannot
refuse an expression Of sympathy with the
trials and misfortunes of any people, when
they have been brought about by the in.
,rigues snd Vaccinations of fdespots. Much
less can they, with impunity, refuse to con.
dole with the French people, overcome in
their struggle for free government by the
most despotio nation on the face of the
earth. Mr.. Haines was simply impudens,
as well as puerile and faroical, when he pro-
posed that this resolution should be referred
to Bismarck. He was not sent to Spring
