chamber to marshal the hosts of mis-
rule and further destruction. He
charged Mr.. PETER with advocating dis
memberment of the government by the
abolition of it's legislative and executive
departments. That Senator, he said,
offered to speak for American people,
but he spoke really for the mob which
obtained control of great stragetic
point. That Senator, he said, had not
a word of reproof, or reproach for the
bloodshed in Chicago, of the millions
OF property destroyed. The red light of
arson against the sky called from the
Senator no word of disapprobation. The
Senator would annihilate the legisla-
tive and executive departments of the
government and have public affairs ad
mln1stered by committee of public
safety. as in the days of terror of the
first French revolution
Senator Gordon, Democrat, of Georgia,
followed Mr.. Davis in an equally patriot
1c speech in denunciation of anarchy
and those who lend it countenance.
He declared that men of all parties
would be found in this great cont1ict
standing shoulder to shoulder for the
ment OF its laws, for the support of it's
dignity, for the perpetuty of the liber-
ties OF the people. He denounced the
depriying of men by Deps, or any one
else, OF the right to sell labor as the
inauguration of a system of slavery,
never known in the past history of the
republic, as SO utterly abhorrent to ev-
cry thought of his as to make it i'm
possible for him to treat it with any
consideration whatever. He declared
that men who wore the gray from 1851
to 1865 would be found side by side with
those who wore the blue. following the
same flag and upholding the dignity of
e LII u. IL L
every law upon it's statute books.
A substitute for the PETER resolution
was offered by MIR. Daniel, endorsing
prompt and vigorous measures adopted
by the President of the United States
aDd members of the administration in,
repelling and repressing, by military
force, the interference of lawless men
with the due process of laws with the
transportation of mails, with commerce
among states, and declaring the action
of the President and the administration
had the full sympathy and support of
the law abiding masses of the people
of the United States. The resolution
went over without action till tomorrow,
and the Senate proceeded to the consid-
