Morton skiltfufly Graded committing himself,
however, Tn the validity If Lamsr's c1alEn for
admission, bit he set forth til such forctblt
way all the horrors Of the campaign Of violence
nnd blood that gave the Democrats control of

took tho right way to accomplish II, for hy stir
ring up tho debate he found that nearly The
whole body Of the Republicans wcsc prepared to

admission. Only Wadlctg1 made o speech
against 1t, mud he wss apparently deceived into
thinking that In doing 50 lie Wa. following tho
lead Of the party chief, under wIaose hammer

Spencer, who can tnakc no speech. forced The
Senate to pretend to llatcn for ono hour and
1la1f to the aflssissippl report, which he mad the
Clerk rcal as 4 part ot his rcmarks.
Clrtsttaney, Mcmillan. and Hove all maintained

Morton not to get wrong At tho moment Thur

Southern and Northern Biatcs should be treated

Morton. bristltng up at the reference 10 him,
said tlat lie would take carr 0! his own rccorlt,
and would not perhaps layc as much trouble in
doing 80 as the Senator from Maine would hare
In taking care Of hts. At the closc Of the debate
Morton, having tested the ground Of opposition
to Lamar nn1 found that no force cou''t be re.
lied uppu. fell back, leaving Spencer and Wnd-
leigh stuck in the miro. Then he anno,inec4a
