well Gnterruptipg) called the attention of
the senator to bis remarks Of tens of millions
OF dollars, and thought he would find that
these facts would not bear out The assertion,
and that what money was spent then was
made necessary by the acts of the party to
which the senator belonged, by their deeds
Of violence, their intimidation Of the colored
people, and other such acts Of violence.
Mr.. Bayard said the senator had taken ad.
vantage. Of his courtesy in yielding for
question to interject q political TRADE of
bitter kind, and If be bad derived any COM
fort by it he was welcome to II. :. var,.s,
When Mr.. Baysrd concluded Mr.. Bout.
we'll said when he offended any one be gen.
orally wanted to explain or apologize. He
though, the sepstor from Delaware, in quite
an upcivl and angry manner, bad
! charged him with injecting political
TRADE into his speech. That was the
manner of men who had been brought up
under the code of slavery. He (BoutwelD
was not here as scholar or a teacher, and
he did not propose TO be taught in manners
| by the senator from Delaware. 1t was the
| natural outgrowth Of the system Of slavery,
and men who were raised under such influ-
| ences could not be expected TO maintain
| proper consideration for the rights Of others.
He further denounced the slavery regime,
and said that after remaining In the Union
nearly century with their unjust demands,
then they withdrew from the Union to fur
ther establish their infamous principles, and
the senator from Delaware was among the
first to come to their defence in the Senate.
he did not propose to take lessons from
such men as that. --..s 4. 70. .-4s,@.
Mr.. Bayard replied that 1t did not lie in
the heart of any man to say that he had done
anything that was not faithful and loyal to
the Union. He belonged TO family every
drop OF the blood in whose veins came from
| loyal people, and any one who charged diff
ferently seated in bis throat a lie. The sen,
ator from Massachusetts, had, as he thought,
| in very angry manner interjected politi-
| ealtirade into bis speech. He said it, and be
did not care to modify his language in the
| least. H.. "..s61-- p.a& :. s.-t .'..- ID
