It has often occurred in the debates q
the late Congress that Democratic mem
bers have assumed style of address no
consistent with the respect due Repub
lican adversaries. In such cases this as
sumption has been promptly met and re
buked.
MIR. Conger asked Mr.. Hooker, of Mis-
sissippi-
Will the gentlemen allow me question
Mr.. Hooker-Yes, if you will make i
short.
The question was asked, and Mr.
Hooker said:
Sit down and will inform you.
Mr. COnger-I shall not sit down. d.
not like that dIctatorial way of addressing
me.
Mr.. Singleton, Of Mississippi, asked
Mr.. Hoar-
Will the gentleman allow me moment
Mr.. Hoar-Certa;nlv.
But Mr.. Hoar having objected that the
question tended to an argument
Mr.. Singleton-I hope the gentleman will

To which Mr.. Hoar politely replied,

The most signal display of this South
ern courtesy ION this hoor," has been
presented by the speech of Mr.. Lamar.
His eulogy upon Charles Sumner was as
just as it was judicious. His speeches
have received the acknowledgment of Mr..
Hoar, but in such manner as to raise q
doubt whether the Northern people are
convinced that Mr.. Lamar represents
truly the sentiments of his constituents,
or, indeed, of-himself. We quote from
the debate.
Mr.. Hoar said:
certainly am not one of those, If any
there are. who would impute to the gentle
man from Mississippi any want of sincerity
in the opinions he has advanced in this
debate, or in the positions he has heretofore
taken which have attracted the attention
of the country. shared with the people
Of my own State in the pleasure created by
his manly and eloquent tribute to the
memory Of our beloved Senator.
His last speech, however philosoph:c its
tlsl, was in tull accord with the uniform tone
of the Democratic press, Northern and
Southern. It was in full accord with the uni.
form current Of speech which has prevailed
among his associates in this hall whenever
questions relating to the condition of the
South have arisen, beginning with the sup.
pressed utterances of the gentleman from
Georgia Mr.. Hill in the early part Of the
session, who threateaed Us with new war
in which he and his friends were to defend
the constitution against Republican in
vasion. continuing with the speech Of the
gentisman's own colleague from Nissis-
sippi, who told Us We had broken
every oath We ever took, down to
the time when the gentleman from New
York made his grim aad CHASTITY jesos over
the Hamburg massacre, and when the elO-

sippi, he ended by commencing to US the
sentiment Of the poe:-

The gentieman's speech was q bitter in

Such is the impression made upon the
Northern mind. Not to mince words, it

The local Democratic press can see why
ne Northern Democracy has been COM
elled by Northern sentiment to acknowl-
dge the state Of violence prevailing in
srtain Southern States. Bullying here
