ness unim portant
The Mississippi resolution wns resu med.
Mr.. Bsyard spoke in opposition; he urged
that all abstain from the policy Of interference
which has been 80 damaging, and let rs have
peace in all the States.
During Mr.. Bayard's speech. Mr.. Boutwell,
interrupting him. called the attention of the
Senator to his remark of " tens of millions OF
dollars" and thought he would find that the
facts would not bear ont his assertion, and
what money was spent there was made neces-
sary by the acts Of the party to which the
Senator belonged, by their deeds OF violence.
their intimidation Of colored people and other
such acts of violence.
Mr. Bayard said the Senator had taken adj
vantage Of bis courtesy in yielding for ques-
ton to INTERCEPT . political TRADE of bitter
kind, and if he had derived any comfort by
it he was Welcome to it.
When Mr.. Bayard concluded, Mr.. Boutwell,
said, when he offended any one he generally
wanted to explain or apologize. He thought
the Senator from Delaware, in quite an I'M
civil and angry manner, had charged him
with injecting political TRADE into his speech.
| That was the manners of the man who had
been brought up under the code of slavery.
He (Boutwell) was not here as o scholar or
teacher, and he did not propose to be taught
in manners by the Senator from Delaware
It was the natural ootgrowth Of the system of
| such influences 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
for nearly century with their unjust de-
mands, then they withdrew from the Union
to further establish their infamous principles,
and the Senator from Delaware was among
the first to come to their defense in the Sem
ate. He did not propose to take lessons from
such men as that
Mr.. Bayard replied that it 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. Hs belonged to . family, every
drop of the blood in whose veins came from
loyal people, aud one who charged differently
states in his th0at Q lie. The Senator from
Massac hu gel It's had, as he thought, in very
angry manner interjected political TRADE
into his speech-he said it and he did not
care to modify his language in the least.
Mr.. Morton followed.
Mr. Bruce his the floor for TO- morrow.
Mr.. Morton, of Indiana, presented pesi-
