the report Of the Committee on the Sale
OF Arms, interposed yesterday and moved
TO postpone the great appropriation bill,
on which the movements Of the govern.
ment depend, and then launched on the
Senate q printed essay which. required
four hours to pass his lips, in which was
made no reference to any vindicatlon that
he needed against the report Of the com.
mittee touching the sale Of arms. When
five o'clock had come, and we had sat
there weary with want oi sleep and ex.
hausting labor, the Senator from Missouri
(SCHUR2) rose with Iportentous pile OF
manuscript, and we were reminded that
courtesy required us then to take a recess
In order that the Senators, who who were
unaccustomed to go without food, might
refresh themselves, In order that the In.
terval might command a more snowy
and imposing audience than was at that
moment waiting on the Senator from
Missouri.
Mr.. CoNKLING thought that Mr.. SUM-
NER would live long enough toregret bis
speech, speech which the honorable
Senator will find, like the boomerang 70.
turning now and in the far tut1re, with a
deadly blow. The other side voted for a
recess and the evening was wasted, and
now we are determined on the question
as 10 throwing on the President the re-.
sponsibility Of calling an extra session.
He hoped that the Senate would pass only
on the question Of what ts necessary IN
the exigency before 1t.
MIR. LOGAN was not surprised at the
anxiety of Democrats TO adjourn after
the malignant civil attack put forth in
their interests. The Democratic Senators
had their case better presented by the
Senators claiming TO be on his side Of the
chamber, and had 1t done better than
either Of them Is capable Of II called
session, result, it cannot now be laid at
the door Of the friends Of the administra-
tion but 1t can be laid at the door Of the
two Senators who have been so studiously
attacking the administration. If the
session Is extended he (LoaAN) will at.
tempt defense against one Of the most
malignant assaults ever made against an
honest man. The assault made yesterday
against the President Applause in the
galleries was fitted for no deliberative
body on earth; 1t was fit only for the
hustings and 1t should have been uttered
only from the lips Of some stump
orator who knew not the courtesy
or decencies Of tho Senate Chamber. He
purposed to defend the President on the
stump, not because he endorsed every
thing that has been done by this admins.
tration, but because he believed an at
tack Of this kind Is intended to destroy
the President with the people, whose lib.
critics had been saved by his own strong
arm which in the van Of the loyalists Of
the land, and severed the chains OF slav-
cry, and preserved the Union. A thing
that all the silvery words uttered by the
tongue Of the Senator from Massachusetts,
(SUMNER) never effected, and never could
effect This attack has been made on q
man whom the countryis more indebted to
than any other. He has short comings,
perhaps, like other men, but he is entitled
to the gratitude Of the people; he is en-.
titled to be secure from ,aspersion, from
vilitication, from Justification and from
SANDER. [Subdued applause in the gal
leries l tell the Senator from Massa.
chusetts now that he will find response
to that malignant speech in every crutch
that aids wounded soldiers to wend their
way through the world, in every wooden
arm, in the grieved heart Of every widow.
ed mother, mourning for her patriot son,
that will overwhelm him and all his ora
tory. These will speak in thunder tones in
defense Of one Of the most gallant soldiers
that ever lived in any nation on earth.
Loud applause in the galleries, which
was with difficulty suppressed This is
all lshall say now on the subject, because
l did not intend to occupy much Of the
time of the Senate this vacation. He re.
GREETED that the speech OF the Senator
from Massachusetts was not in the Globe
this morning, 80 that he'might make a
reply toit. Y ef I "
MI. SUSINER-The Senator knows l am
not responsible for that. My desire was
to have 1t appear.
Mr.. LoGAN-I am sorry your desire
was not accommodated. am only stating
facts, the same is true OF the speech Of
the Senator from Missouri (SoHURz) at
tacking the Arms Committee. Mr.. Lo.
GAN thought the purpose Of these Sena.
tors would be understood by the people.
They know that the road out oil the Phil
adelphia Convention Is the road right
into the camp Of the Democratic party.
They understand that the attack on the
man who Is certain 10 be nominated at
Philadelphia is in the interests of the
Democratic party. Everybody unders.
tands that. The course of these gen.
tlemen reminds usof war times, when there
were plenty OF men very loyal, but they
were opposed to. the war. All the life
time Of the Senator from Massachusetts,
his learning, his craftsmanship, he Is now
attempting to undo. He fell yesterday
from his high estate Iknowthe Senator
will not receive advice from mel know
! am not capable Of giving it-but in
conclusion I will say this: he spoke
yesterday Of the lifeboat Of the nation.
tell him that thetrue lifeboat Of the nation
is the Republican party. When you at.
tack the pilot and SOW idissention among
the crew, you do what the Democratic
party has never been able to do, you sink
the old Republican 6hip.
