solid debate in both houses-in fact, this may be
truly called
srEEcH-MAKIsd CONGRESS.
In the senate the army bill is the subject OF de-
bate, and such leading spirits rs Blaine Logan,
iioar, voorhees,, Beck and Morgan, have been the
speech-makers upon II thus lar. Although much
brilliant rhetoric has been used on both sides, the
arguments so lar have hardly been up to the
standard oil the debate In the House upon the
same Dill In the House the legislative bill is be-
ing discussed although but comparatively few
speeches have yet been made owing to the tinker
ing Which mas peeh attempted IN financial matters
very eloquent speech was made in the House
yesterday by Mr. Burrows OF Michigan, which
had so much OF the real soul-strring ring in 1t
that we cannot refrain from giving brief extract
from 1t here. He said, in opening that II the
gentlemen on the other side were really anxious
to preserve the peace and purity Of elections they
would be the last to attempt to tear down the
only remaining national fortress reared for that
purpose. Did they desire an honest registration
These laws provided 1t. Did they want pure
ballot3 These laws secured 1t. Did they want a
fair countP These laws insured it. Did they
want true return9 These laws enjoined it. Did
they want peace and order at the pollsP These
|
laws that was terror to any man save one who
had committed medtated attack on the
purity Of elections. With all your professions,
said he, of desire for purity of elections, your
chiefest desire is the election of democratic
President in 1SSO-by what means you little care.
You want these laws repealed because they stand
in the way of the contamination OF such purpose;
| for you know well, and the country knows that
| II they allowed to stand and can be enforced,
you can no more elect PRESIDENT In 1851 than
you are honestly entitled TO your ma1orties IN
