VAS all that there was of the bill. No


arose rs to whether or not troops should
be sent to the polls. Since the pr9to-
rian guards had proclaimed that the
Roman world would be sold at auction,
there had never been presented so sad
q spectacle rs that presented by the
representatives of the free American
people coming here and declaring that
they were willing to go voluntarily
under lespotism. Democratic ap-
plause. The old ship of State was to
be scuttled on the anniversary of her
first sailing. The gentlemen had said
that the North would not tolerate the
counting in the South. The time had
come when there could not be in the
American republic an enslaved South
and a free North. Democratic ap-
p!ause.] The Republicans might, like
madmeu, grasp the pillars OF the Con-
stitution and pull down the edifice; but
like Sampson they would perish III the
wreck. If he could register a wish in
heaven, he would ask not for an eXten-
sion of boundaries or the multlpllca-
ton of territory, not for flowing rivers
aud fertile fields, but, better far than
all that, he would ask that the man
who laid violent hands upon the Con-
stitution might drop dead as did the
the sacriligious Jew who laid his i'm
pious hand upon the ark Of the cove
nant of the living God. Democratic
applause
