The choice of presiding officer. There
used To be a saving: "Oh, shame, where Is
thy blush ?" but he believed that modern
shame had lost her blush, and it had
come to be the fixed purpose of the demo-
cratic party to avail itself of any temporary
power in that body to exclude the views. Of
thor equals, il they could grasp something
which If their equals were admitted they
could not grasp.
Mr.. Morgan congratulated the senate on the
exhibition of this morning. The senator
from Vermont, after having, by his vote,
frequently participated in excluding
sovereign states from voice in the senate,
had at last come to the conclusion that
senators must be admitted whenever their
crsdcatn we're we're rsad for Ttn9ns an
or inquiry. He argued in favor
of the right of the democrats to elect pre-
siding officer, and said that it seemed to
him to be an intrusion of the freedom of
will for the senators on the other side to
demand that the democrats should yield
the power which had been placed in
their hands; beside, a constitutional

sibility for crime, directly or indi-
rectly, it rested on his political oppo-
nents, and not with the democratic party.
He charged none, but the lnsinuatlon that
the democrats OF the country mad anything
but tear for the dead president, sofro"
for his family and execrement 1or the ms

solutcly false; that 1t was the duty
