| Up to this hour it was not known .,
this side Of the chamber, or in tn,
country how the gentleman woult
vote. The senator from New Yorl
}, (ConkliDg,) seemed to have informa
tion that some body who had been cleo
ted % q Democrat, would vote with the
Repu blicans, and wanted 10 find out
who that was. II seems that l Aavs

newspapers cod d not do, what both
parties could not do. have brought
out the senator from Virginia, (laugh.

Whether the senator from Virginia will
be guilty of 1t or not is not for me 10

Mr.. Hosr, of Mass, exp sssed his en-
phstis indignation at the degrading ex.
hibition which the senator Il ON Georgia
mad made. It was the first tim, in the
pulitios OF the country when . senator
had undsrtsken-in advance of the act
10 deliver lecture to his peer. and
to inform him that if he did q GER
tain thing 1t would bs degrading Al d
treacherous. 1t was none Of the bust.
ness OF the senator from Georgia how
any other senator should cast his vote.
No slave master or pla lta,ion over Q r
should crack his whip over American
senators. Applause. The utterances
OF the senator from Georgia were an in
suit to the representatives of the Amer
lean people. That gsntl.man had been |
chosen Is Union man to state con-
vent;on and had east vote which had
carried Georgia into rt b .lliou and from
that day to this he had learned nothing
either OF consistency or constitutional
duty, or OF propriety of personal b.
haVior. Applause on the Republican
side The gentleman had undertaken
10 draw . comparison bet cen the posi.
lion OF the senator from Illinois (Dayis)
aud that of the new seustor from Virgin
10, with much hoaied CONNIE nd alton of
