When. therefore, such debate occurred
the greatest excitement prevailed and

tanning full attendance of senators
than Il call of the scrutc.

the house over its refusal TO hermit him

solely responsible for the refusal of the

MIR. Morse when he u''ithiam objected 10

him if the Illinois congress uiun could
find his way clear to withdraw his OBJ

Mr.. Morse backed against the rails and
replied: "What the gentleman says has
the color of truth but the construction

IF the gentleman drnics my statement :"
yelled Mr.. Fithian. shaking his fist angri-
ly at the Massachusetts congresSinan, he
is wilfully lying himself" In Il minute
