the degrading exhibition which the Senator
from Georgia had made. 1t was the first
time in the politics Of the country when q
Senator had undertaken in az ance OF an act
to deliver lecture to his peer, ana Inform
him if he did a certain thing it world De de-
grading and treacherous. It was none OF the
business of the Senator from Georgia how any
other Senator should cast his vote. No slave
master or plantation oversesr should crack
his whip over an American Senator. Jap
plause. The utterances of the Senator from
Georgia were an insult to the representatives
OF the American people. That gentleman
had been chosen as Union man to State
Convention, and had cast the vote which had
carried Georgia into the rebellion, and from
that day 10 this ne had learned nothing
either CT constituency or constitutional duty,
or OF the propriety of personal behavior.
| lApplause on the Republican side.l The
gentleman mad undertaken a comparison
between the position of Davis and that OF
Malone, with much honied commeniation of
the former. The Senator from Illinois had
been elected by the LEGISLATURE Of State
which had an average Republican major
ity of from $4,000 to 100000. The
Davis Republicans were not in a majority in
that Legislature. They were numerically in
a plurality, and it was the Independents and
Democrats Of that body who elected him to
Tie CehalSs Inc people OF ILLINOIS, were
then, and are now, Largely Republican. lam

the Democratic organization of this body.

his Judgment. That is the only difference
between the two Senators. aud is that the
logic OF the Senator from Georgia laughter,
that there are Democrats in the South who
mean to vote down men with whom they
differ, but who do net mean to assas-
sinate them There are Democrats in the
South who mean to live in q nation. and
not in an aggregate of petty provinces any
longer. There are Democrats in the South
who do rot mean to live any longer in grave
yards and among tombs, whose face is toward
the morning, and on whose brow the rising
sunlight of the future generations of this
country is already beginning to be visible to
such Democrats. The avsnt courier of this
column has already reached the Senate
chamber alter long waiting and yearn-
ing. The Republicans of the North de-
sire to stretch forth friendly hand, but
the desire is inspired by no miserable
ambition for Office, for political victory, but
by a spirit OF patriotism which loves the
South fully as much as it loves the North.

country. it is in the spirit of the future, and
not OF the past; it is in the spirit of union.
and not of sectionalism-we are holding cur
hand to the brave and noble Democrats of
Virginia, whose representative took his seat
