WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.

In the Senate, tn day, Lamar made q
feeling allusion to the Southern Sena
ators of the past-Hunter. Mason, Sill.
dell, Benjamin, Toombs and Brown
and, without mentioning the name of
Jefferson Davis, said: "Mr. President,
we, the successors OF these men, are
here to day, and, by a policy which is
u noteworthy fact in the nineteenth
century, we have come 10 rningle with
the Representatives from the States Of
this Union in one common council for
the good of this country. We come
no longer rs Representatives of the
capital interests of the South. We
come now as allies of the laboring men
of the North and as labOreis ourselves;
every one of us and all our constituents
have been taught the stern lesson of
the necessity of earning our subsis
tence by the sweat of our faces. But,
sir, we come with our convictions un-
changed as o the necessity Of the Ia
boring classes being protested in all
their interests, for when they sink, SO
| ciety must sink and tumble with them.
But we come to maintain that they are
honest, that they are patient, that they
are self. reliant and true to their Obliga
tons, and that what 1t IL their duty to
do they will feel IL is to their interest.
We have differed upon this great ques-
ton, but OF one thing the world may
be assured, that nc Southern Senator
representing the Southern people will
give q vote on the one side which is
not designed to protect the labOring
classes OF this country alike with its
capital, or on the other that will not
preserve untarnished the sacred honor
Of America" (Applause in the gal
leries.)
The House Judiciary Committee
