1 No Speaker is yet elootod in Congress. Tho
whole South is excited and the He|ml>licana uro
■ arrogant. Mr. Sberuian, us Ohio, the Hepubli*
cun candidate for Speaker, tacks six rotes of an
■ uleeti’ n ; Mr. Boeock, of Virginia, the democrat-
I ic cai di lute, lacks twenly-eightto elect him; Mr.
i Gilmer, of North Carolina, receives tjrcnty-two
votes, scattering, twelve votes. Two South
Americans from Maryland, Messrs. Davis and
Kioaud, snpport the ltcpublican candidate, the
remaining Americans vote for Air. Gilmer. There
is a Strung disposition on the.part of the House to
ferret out the breadth ami depth of the Harper's
Furry invasion and sound to the core Ihe real
posit ion of the boutb in the Loioo. Mr. Giluter
is courting Black Republican influence hy offer
ing a peace resolution, which, however right, ab
stractly considwred, introduced at this time is as
disostrous to the policy and independence of the
South, as was the entrance of the Grecian Horse,
filled with armed men, to the good people of
Troy. It i* difficult to foresee what tho result
will be. From a perusal of tho correapomloaoe
oftbe New York Daily AVi c*, wo soo that Mr
Crawford of Georgia und Mr. Stevens of Now
York have had a controversy in the House.
Mr. Stevons. it seems, derided the Houthem
mouthers for their spirit, and ridiculed their dis
play of devotion to their suction. This drew Mr.
Crawford to his feet, who made a short speech,
unintelligible to the reporters, so great was the
applause, cun fusion and calls to order.
The. Aew# says, “Members on ail sides rose to
their foet and crowded the area near Messrs.
Stevens and Crnwfbrd. The greatest excitement
prevailed, and at one time a collision was feared.
Mr. Crawford Continued his remarks, and said,
Don’t sing psalms to the Union and Constitution
till wo quiet, lie was again applauded and
Ctnlinuod speaking amid calls to order.”
frurn the foregoing meagre report of
Judge Cranford’s remarks, that ho lashed the
flunks of the Republicans well, and made the
gulled jades wince. Judge Tver sob, we aee, baa
also made a spirited speech in the Senate, The
eyes of th country arc upon the Southern mem
bers, and we trust that they may boar thorn solves
with all the chivalry and independenee, which
characterizes their constituents.
A ( am* for a Vrla.
Every act of the Legislature, by the Conatitti
tiou wf th# Htate of Gaorgift, muat reeeivo the
sauction of the (governor before itean become of
uralive. This is a wi*e and salutary regulation,
aa it is the only burrior which can be oppoaed to
hasty, unjust and iuu<>anidcratc legi*lation. The
action f our legi*lator at Miilc.lgovtlle, the oth
er day, iu the 10-oalhd “Democrats* OeivMtitm”
:it a cate In point to illustrate tho u*o and vftlue
|of the veto powor. Whatever consoqueuee or
validity may )e attached to that action, is deriv
ed solely from the fact that the ajtnU wore tegie-
Uxtom, They hud authority to represent nobody
in any other capacity. What they did must have
effect only by virtue of their ineuiborrhip in the
Legislature, and was. therefore, a Leyiitatire Aet.
As such, it must undergo tbe|ordoal of the Gov
ernor's revision, and we trust that that worthy
official will, in the exercise of his usual discrimi
nation, veto R. _ _
The PHtudo Drmocrftilr convention
This sell-constituted body has assembled after
fifteen days notice to sixty thousand democrats
in Georgia, and appointed delegates to tho Na
tinuul liouiocratic Convention to assemble at
Charleston. The call of the Executive Commit
tee for the 2d day of March was ignored—the
protest of forty democratic members of the Leg -
islature disregarded—some sixty couriliss were
untepresmited—other counties were represented
without authority, and the whole party in the
State thrown Into confusion and discord. Tho
Augusta CmintituUonnhtt says the Convention
was a “lamentable failure,” tbo Savannah AV
prate repudiate* its net lon, and other papers are
equally indignant. What is said by this journal
is not in a captious spirit, bat fur tbe interest and
harmony of the party in tho Htate. Tbo 2d Con
gressional district and nearly all of tbe 4tb dis
trict, with scattering counties through tbe Htate
were u a rep resented. Hon. Isaiah Irwin was
President of the Convention, and Hon. James L.
deward was the leading spirit. The following
delegated were appointed. For tbe State at
large, I. T. Irwin, J U. Lumpkin, 11. L. Henning
and H. ft. Jackson.
Front the Ist district—James L. Seward, Julian
Hart ridge.

The Democratic Masses Rising
A Democratic meeting was held in Webster

sembling of the selt-conetitutMi Contention at
Milledgeville, and resolutions adopted repudiat
ing tho call ofa portion of the democratic mem
bers of tho legislature for a Convention, and
sustaining the Executive Committee. Gov, Hsat
A. Wise, was the choice of tho meeting for Presi

Second District in Slate Democratic Convention.
Ml U.KIWiKVILLK, Ua., Dec. 10.
The Democratic Convention has assembled and
done its work. Thcro is a vrido spread dissatis
fhetion at the obstinacy of wme members of the
Legislature in insisting upon the spurious call.-
Hon. Mr. Seward led thedisorguniaersin tin Con
vention and Mr. Irwin of W ilkes was President.
The 2d district withdrew in a body. One man by
the nntre of Johnson concluded to represent Do
oator county. He is a Clerk in the Legislature,
and I understand has not resided iu # lho district
long enough to vote. Nevertheless, wbcu the
names of delegates to the Charleston Convention
were called, he took tho authority to represent
TWK.NTY-rut b counties, and nominated Hood and
Evans. The Couvoutiou of course unanimously
vlreltd them. Thanks to Mr. Johnson, whoever
ha is, for his nttcution to the democracy of tho
2d Cougrcssiunal District. Tho whole Convcn- j
tion reflects no credit upon the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, who excluded the people
from a voice in the matter.

tlikthis nnauthorired nssotubly met and organi

dented (trot ch of authority, without warrant, aud
indefensible every wav, and one that the !>*/•/•
will rebuke with tearful emphasis. The folly and
irregularity of the whole proceeding is manifest
in the foot that there are thirty traintir* in tbie
State, unrepresented by Democratic member* of j
the Legislature, and consequently disUanchised
bv this act. Thor© were but si&tydirs
w\vt*H-ntn\, forty eight of whom had received no

of tho ptoplt have been usurped atul their prero

But thev might have saved their time and breath,
for the power that placed these modest gentle

The convention lesterUay.
Yesterday was. the day designated for the
meeting of the Convention at Milled gov Hie called
by tho Democratic mouther* of the Legislature,to
appoint drlcgiitwa to represent tho Democracy of
■ this State in the Charleston Convention. We
! have seen in the Democratic papers of the State
j the proooodings of six mootings only, convened
| for the purpose of appointing delegates to this
j Convention, and five of them disapproved of the
j notion of the Democratic members of tho Logisln
turc in railing it. But stilt, we suppose th.it the
Convention was hold, and that delegates were ap
pointed to tlm next Nationul Convention of the
! Democratic party.
! The Democracy of the State, if they had been
j permitted time to act, would have repudiated the
| action of their Representatives in the Legislature,
[in calling this convention- Those representu
| tiyes were sent to Millodgevill© to attend to the
! interests of tho Stato and their constituencies,not
to nominate {delegates to repfosewtg the Demo*
criitic party of Georgia, and cast its vote in tho
Charleston Convention. That was aright which
was not delegated to them, hut which the Demon
cratl© people of the Stuto expected Ht the proper
time to exercise. They were not permitted to
exercise that right in the convention held yester
day. fur they were not and could not he represen
ted in that body. Nor did they cure to ho rep
resented in that body. They are not prepared
nt such a lime as this, when no one can any what
a dny may bring forth, to indicate their choice
for a nominee for tho Presidency months in ud
vance of the meeting of the nominating conven
tion, and lay down the platform upon which they
are willmg to sustain that nominee. They wan
ted time to deliberate upon these important mat
ters, and to ace what Would be tl\© devulopmonts
of the next sow months: and for those reasons,
they desired to postpono the. appoint muni of del
egates to tho Charleston Convention until tho
time designated by tho Executive Committee.
But there delegates were probably appointed
yesterday, and tho question now is. will tho par
ty accept them, or prepare to hold the conven
tion on the second of March, which has been cull
mi hy tho Executive Committee, and appoint
ot hers iu their stead? The decision of this ques
tion will depend very much upon tho action ta
ken by the, convention yeaterday. If the dele
gates appointed, and tho platform adopted for
it, represent and express the views and fetlings of
the Democracy of the Htato. there will be no oth
er Convention; if they do not there will be. The
party is not bound by tbo action of the conven
tion of yestordtj, Kbceusq that body wus not an
authomed assemblage, ft is free to accept or
rcpudinlo that aotjou. It did not authorise the
call of the convention— it wus not represented in
it, and it is under no obligation to submit to what
it has done.Wo trust that the Convention lias ap
pointed delegates at.d adopted a platform which
will be approved by the whole party, and that
there will be, therefore, no occasion for another
convcn (ion. But, before wo know what its action
has been, we desire distinctly to stuto, that in
our opinion, the party ia free t” accept r repu
diate it, and if it is repudiated, that tho respon
sibility for tho divisious and discords which may
ohmic, will rest upon the democratic members of
the legislature, who called the convention, with
out the sanction of the ‘party. —Awjusta Constt

Dlvorro Rill Mr. Wallace f Tajlor.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist we ex
tract the following debate upon the divorce
law in the Legislature.
The hill of Mr. Wallace, of Taylor, to repeal
the third section of the divorce law of 1800,
cuuaed considerable diiteussi n in the Semite.
Mr. Hill of Troup, argued iliaM l "* hill should
pass: he believed that the act Os Ih.lo, allow
ing oivoreea tor drunkenness, ahiihc, deser
tion, Ac., was wrong, uhd ought to he repeal
ed, it should be dissolved aa to both parties
alike.
Mr. Seward of Thomas, thought that if
members were opposed lo divorces, they
should introduce n hill to repeal the whole <Jt
vorce law of the present day; by the present
law one party is not freed by the concurrent
verdicts of two special juries; they alwax*
apply to the Legislature to be relieved from
the penalty of the law . in case of u subsequent
marriage; and In the hundred* of ease* that
have come before the Legislature since 1800.
there is not a single instance of refusal to grant
such an application.
Mr Wallace, of Taylor, took the floor in
favor of lo* bill; the Legislature *pend hun
dred* of dollar* every few day* of the session
in such special legislation. No doubt but two
hundred thousand dollar* hud been spent in
the lal fifty years on special divorce tail* that
the Legislature always grunted, and why not
dispense With such nn evil by n repeal of the
clause that caused it ? The working* of the
present law were almost always the
innocent He had known onoea of husband*
abusing their wives iu such manner Hint they
were obliged to leave them, und then obtained
a divorce from their v„ive* on the ground of
desertion, as authorised by lav-: thus leaving
the innocent sutlerer, barred from all the rights
ot matrimony, while the guilty cause was a!*
lowed to marry again.
A* fpr th* argument that the pcnaltv kept
parties together, it was not tru--. and fan did
not desire to keep tltoao together between
whom the sacred bond of iov did not exist;
and when, by error, or youthful inadvertence,
parties were united in u civil contract, that
dillerence of disposition and taste* forbid lo
be ex'©n carried out; in short, where hatred
and contention reigned in the room of love
and biilh, the sooner they got apart Hie better.
A* for the sacred relations of matrimony, they
only existed where heart* Were united togeth
er. What God had thus joined together, no
innn wanted to put asunder ; hut God dona not
put his eternal sanction to everything that is
done by preacher* and justices of the pea* o ,
aixl a continued cohabitation under the coer
sion of law, where there is no affection, i* blit
legalised adultery. Mr. Holt was for the bill,
because it would aave the (governor the trouble
of writing *o many Vetoeri. The hill was lost

Tbo effort was charotorised as n plan to enable J

the Umowill have ooine for a political disruption

tmnilUS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14. I*M>
Congrrss.
The latest intelligence from Washington, re
ports the llottfc engaged in the discussion of u
resolution offered by Mr. (’lark, of Missouri, iu
reference to that vile aud treason able production
knowu as “Ilolpcr's Book.” That resolution is
at follows j
Jistohscd, That tho doctrine* and sentiments
of a oortatn bobk called tho “Impending Crisis of
tho South, and How to meet It,” purporting to
have boon written by Hinton R. Helper, arc in*
©endiary and hostile to tho domestic pane© and
tranquility of the ©onntry: and that no member
of this House who bus roeotnmendod or cudoraed
ii or tho Cuiupond, is fit to bo tho .Speaker of this
House.
Mr. Shoriuaa, the Republican candidate for
Speaker, is ono of tho signers and endorsers of
this prod notion, and, bonce, the resolution umy
io considered as levelled directly against him.
lie seeks to avoid tho ioree of a just condemna
tion by the contemptible plea of ignorance of tho
scope and contents of the work he recommended.
A most lame and impotent excuse ! We are glad
to soo that our Southern representatives aau not
caught by so transparent a falsehood, and are
determined to fasten the Infamy upon the traitor.
This man, thus stigmatized by his own act as an
enemy to the Constitution, is receiving, day after
day, tire combined vote of the Black Republican
party lor Speaker of tho Houso. Yet, in tho face
of this commentary up u n their professions, his
supporters, or many of them, have the effrontery
to declare that they do not sympathise with tho
recent foray of John Brown upon tho pence and
honor of tho South. That his election will ensue
is, under the presont aspect of affairs, by no
means impossible. Ln that event, we feel very
much like seconding the n.lvlco to tho ftouthern
reprosontnlives, given recently by Senator Ivor*
hod in the course of some remarks made by him
in tho Senate, to return home and tell their con
atituantsito prepare fora dissolution of the Union,
ln this connection wo desire to correct a state
ment made b.v our Senator at the tirno bo deliv
ered tho above in reftMuuoo to his constituents
’ and himself. He said that he was regarded as an
‘•ultra man” at home. We see no ground fur this
imputation.
iu tho position which he has taken upon the
rights and duty of the South, Judge Iverson whs,
perhaps, a little in advance of lila dny, hut, view
ed iu the light whiuh subsequent evouts have cart
upon that position, the groat uiasu of tho people
of Georgia commend and endorse It.
The Senate wore engaged in discussing a reso
lution submitted by Mr. Mahou, of Virginia, for
tho appointment of ajeommittee to investigate
the llurper's Ferry invasion. Mr. Trumbull, of
Illinois, with a view to embarrass and defeat tho
resolution, moved to amend by adding, that the
investigation be extended to the seixura of tho
Arsenal at Liberty, Missouri, four years ago. This
motion elicited patriotic speeches from Senator*
Maoon, Hunter, Brown, l’ugb, Green and Iverson.
Mr. Crittenden of Keutueky wus the ouly South
ern Senator who favored the amendment. No
result was reached.

Uov Mine’s Ilcwage.
Tbo Governor of Virginia ha- sent a flery mes
sage to tbe Legislature. Wo subjoin alow brief
extracts:
“Insurrection is the lesson of the hour”—not
of slaves only, but all are to be free to riso up
against ftxod government, and no govcrniuotit is
to be allowed except “tbo average common sense
of tbe masses,” and no protection is to be permit
ted against that power*
This is but un epitome, plain and unvarnished,
without oxaegeration. Wbat is this but anarchy?
What docs it mean hut “confusion worso confoun
ded,” and the overthrow of all rights, of all gov
ernment, of all religion, of ail ruio among men ?
Nothing but mad riot can rule and misrule with
such sentiments as those. Tbr>can bo uocom
provtewfrilh tbsa, no toleration of them In aaibty
or with self-respect. They must be met and crush
ed, or they will crush us, or our union with hon
slavoholding Htatos cannot continue. * •
For a quarter of a century wo have boon per
suaded to forbear, and patiently to wait for the
waking and working of the conservative elements
m our sister Htatcs. We have borne and for
horoe, and waited In vain. We knew that we
Lav many sound and siueore friends in the nou
slavebolding States: * * * *
But when) it the evidence that the eonserva
tivc dements arc tbo roost powerful?
And the non-slaveholding Mtatee are nearly In
solid array opposed to us. * e •
The active has overcome tbo passivo elements;
faa.’iticism has subdued conservatism in all these
HtsDs,and ih<ecnu now,in our present oondi
tlon practically wield our destinies for weal ur
wow.
Again, if these men were monomaniacs, then
arc a largo portion of the people of many of Ibe
State- monomania##. * • • e *
Masters in the border eountia# how held their
slaves by sufferance. John Brown’s invasion
startled us; butwohnvo been tamely submitting
to a greater ihingcr, without coutbsi'lng H. * *
Wo must, then, acknowledge and a**t on the
fact that present relatione between the Stator can
not bo permitted longur to exist abolish
ing slavery throughout tho United Ftntoa, or
compelling us to defend it by foronof arms.
He conclude* by saying:
“Wc must rely on ourselves and fight for
poaco. 1 say, then, toyour tents —orgauixo aud
arm.”
i repent:
Ist. Organise and arm.
2d. Demand of each State iu the Union, what
position .ibo means to maiutaiu for the future iu

llviper’s Book—A Discussion on It
Mr. Steuton.—lf I signed it at all, it undoubt
edly was.
Air. Koitl.—lt was signed not many months
ago. Subscriptions wore made to circulate this
book by loading Republicans. Tbo Governor of
Now York gk'-o SIOO to circulate ft
The New York Tribune, of a lew weeks ago,
tho 16th of November, says:
“Nino nr ton months ago, a number of earnest
and active Republicans of the city united in an
nppoal to their fellow Republicans tor aid in an
effort to print and circulate one hundred thou
sand copies of Mr. 11. R. Helper’s admirable
“Impending Crisis of th© South.”
And then ho lashes the indolence of tlio Re
publicans in not subscribing more money for the
purpoflu. Ono miliiou of copies ought to Lave
been in the hnndjof southern men. Nino months
ago thov signed it. The eleotions are conduc
ted, funds are subscribed, the book is distributed,
tho outrage upon the soil of Virginia is perpetra
ted, and hot n word is said about tho pamphlet
by these gentlemen. Only within the lust sow
hours have they found out that its doctrines are
infamous, and that they are shocked by their
course. Are they retiring before tho consuming
cxoeraiiuus of their own people? Only at this
moment, it seems, they have discovered that there
is something in Helper's book; and even vot they
do not profess to know thoroughly what its doc
trines are. Do you beliuve, after all this, that
they did not know what it wus? No, gentlemen
take tho responsibility fairly. Let us see one
branch of this great Republic, this, the Repre
sentative branch, in the hands of men who insti
gate a war of pillage and u war of races. Do you
repudiate your organ—the New York Tribune?
Du you repudiate your grout party loader—the
.Senator from New York ? If you do not, how
Cun you repudiate *h® dootrinu* of thi* honk 7 As
luyoi iun, a* lovers of tho Constitution, as the
gentlcmau from Now York [Mr. Clark] said,
ought you not to have examined into this book
which you have recommended so hastily? Did
not know that anybody at tho South believed that
mQ at the North indorsed John Brown, when,
for months, every press in tho State of Virginia
had been appealing to the people of tbe North to
cleanse themselves from this foul stain : when the
press of your own Stato had called upon you to
repudiato thu act! Did not kuow it? What
means tho meeting which wus hold in Boston, a
week ago, In order to cleanse from tbo robes of
that old city, tho blood thus infamously shod ?
Whut menu sin iiur meetings in the city of New
York ? Nobody thought that any one at the
South supposed that the North whs at nil im
plicated in Brown’s foray t Ab, gentlemen, that
will not do. The South here ask* nothing hut
its rights. As one of its Representatives, 1 would
have no more : but as God is my judge, as ono of
its Representatives, I would shutter this Repub
lic from turret to foundation stone boforc I would
take one tittle less, f Applause in tho galleries.]
Let the government pass into the hands ,of tbo
Abolition party of this country; let ns kuow that
and it is all wo wish to know. I do not wish
the elections conducted under subterfuge**. Let
what each one thiuks of tho Republic be borne
upon his forehead, ami let us march on with tho
step of events and roach onr destined goal.—
Woof tho South nro on tho defensive, and wc
shrink from meeting no net of aggression which
may •> committed against us upon tho field.—
We miiko no war upon persons at tho North. 1
know thorn are nro good men there—men who
sustain Justice and right, hut unfortuiialcly iu
too many Stota*, 1 (ant, they ara in a hopeless
minority. We moan now,to defend ourselvas.—
All wo say to you is elect your candidate. Stand
upon your platform, aud then lot each party fight
out its own cause.
Mr. Btovens, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Clerk, I
do not rise to tuaku u speech, [Cries from the
Republican benches of “(Jo on !go ou !”J 1 will
just tako the course. I think proper, ami leave
others to do the name. I believe. Mr. Clerk,that
tho discussion which bn* already been, had ought
by this t'mo to convince everybody that the
point of order which l made yesterday was a cor
rect and proper one; and I rise, for the purpose
of renewing that point of order. It is this: that
until thin House is organized, it Is not competent
fort be Clerk of the House to entertain any
quesLiou vxoept that of proceeding to the alec
tion of u fepeakcr, or on a motion to adjourn.—
I muko that point of order, and 1 want it deci
ded.
But, Mr. Clerk, before I sit down I will say
one single word. Ido not blame the gentlemen
from tho Houth for taking the course they do, al
though I deem it untimely and irregular, and a!-
• Lou*!, I item it. withholding from the public
creditors, who uro needing tho means which |w
are bound ns honest men to give them “apvedily.
Nor do i hbtiue them for the language of intimi
dation, for using this throat of rending God’s
creation from tho turret to the foundation.-
I Laughter j AH this is right in them, for they
have triod it fifty times, and fifty times they have
i und weak and recreant tremblers in tho North
who havukeeii effected by it, ami who have a

are right therefore, and 1 give them credit for re

This, sir, ha* ever hoeu your course; and when

professors, in times of comparative quiet, allow,
or perhaps assist, the Black Republican party a to
get control of tho Stato Legielatures’and the rep
resentation in Congress; say not a word against
tho enactment of laws prohibiting tho rendition
of fugitive slaves; are not horror-struck at the
election of such men as Howard, llalo and Wil
son, but when some daring outrage-—tho logiti
male fruit of their apathy or acquiescence—sum
mons the tfoutii to assume a threatening attitude,
thoy suddenly become aroused, call together the
great congregation-—the manufacturers, mer
chants and other beueficiariee of Southern labor,
make loud protestations of love for the Union,
and loyalty to the Constitution, repudiate aboli
tionism, ami go home laughing In their sleeves at
us for kelieviug tho juke. A groat Union moot
ing takes plaoo in Philadelphia; twenty thou
sand people are present! A number of resolu
tions are passed-—good enough, if they were not
moautfur slap trap, and it is claimed that they
embody the sentiments of a majority of ,th© poo
pie. Tho hollowness of the pretension stands out
in strong relief, when it is remembered that of the
twenty-five representatives from Pennsylvania,
twenty one are Black Republicans.
It is high time the South wore beginning to
show her contempt for such arrant hypocrisy.-
Faith will not do without works. When tho
North is rid of abolitionism, proof of the purga
tion will be made nt the ballot box.
Talbot ( ounty Delegation to th© Legislative Con
tention.
Tho Democracy in a few counties in this State,
left the matter of acting with the late Convention,
to tbo discretion of their waiuUra in the Legis
lature. Such we presume was the case with the
Democracy of Talbot oounty. Mr. L. B. Smith,
the ahle Senator from that oounty, stated iu the
Convention, that the delegates from Talbot, had
authority to act with such Convention as they
believed would more fully represent tho wishes of
the people, and that they woald reserve the right
to act with any other Convention which might
thereafter be called. The example of Mr. Smith,
induced many others to go in upon the same
terms, and ns tho Convention was rather pushed
for time and men, they were all accepted upon
that condition. These gc-utlemeo, then, are by
their agreement, at perfeet liberty to repudiate
the action of that unauthorised assemblage, and
new, that the intention of its prime movers is pat’
ent, we trust that they will at ouce come eut,
uud no longer lend the authority of their atmei
to bolster up the deformed and disjointed ihiny.

THB QI'AIIRBLS Os THB ILUSOIB I-OMTICIAMS.
Mr. Morris. (A L deni ) of 111., rising to a privi
leged question, caused to he read trom the ußictni
report of the remarks of Mr. Kellogg, that two
year* ago Mr. Greeley wa* planning withßwtiator
Doughts, in the parlor of the latter, to rn-eloct
him Senator by holding oat the polities of Illi
nois. Mr. Morris also caused to be read Mr.
Greeley’s publication denying the truth of the
charge, and, while detesting Mr. Douglas’ doe*
trine*, admiring his pluck.
Mr. Kellogg, (rep. of 111.) replied that but for
the fact that he bad been personally assailed in
uu infamous article in the Tribune, he would uot
have said award, as bo was anxious for an or
ganization. He said that lioraeo Greeley and
Judge Douglas bad boon put on trial, and gave
notice that he should hereafter prosecute the is
auo.
Mr. Clarke, deui.. of Missouri, was called out
by a remark of Mr. Kellogg, that a report bad
prevailed that according to arrangements, tbe
Missouri Heuutorship was to be given to Mr. Blair.
Ifo believed this charge agaiuft Mr. Douglas was
a falsehood, but bo did not attach any importance
to tbe statement of Greeley, whom he bolierod a
thief, and of character unworthy tbe notice of a
gentleman in or out of Congrats.
Mr. Kellogg, repeated as an issue bad been
made, be would meet it fairlv. He disclaimed
having made any attack on Douglas. He dealt
with Greeley.
Mr. Logan, (dem.) of 111.—The gentleman
from Illinois brings charges here against one of
the most distinguished men in ibis eouutry, and
yet bo fails to bring forward hia proofs. I am
surprisedtbutu gentleman, in making a personal
explanation to tbe House, would so depart from
tbe line of propriety as to rnako an attack upon
a gentleman uot occupying a seat upon that floor.
1 know why this attack was made, uud tbe plau
dits which that attack clioitod from the other side
of tbe House, confirm me in iny opinion. For
tide reason and others I will this morning brand
that charge as it deserve* ; and 1 am determined
that my colleague shall not shrink from the re
sponsibility be has incurred in making that *t
tak. [After some interruption as to whe had tbe
floor, Mr. Logan was allowed to proceed.] I re
peat, that it was doe to tbe gontleman who was
absent when tbe charge was made that all the
proofs should be produoed. But my colleague
refused to produce bis proofs. Buppi.se he declin
ed to do so that be might obtain time to run
arouudand see how many gentlemen be could get
to sign their name to something that they bad
board with reference to a conversation between
Judge Douglas and Horace Greeley, Had this
<■ barge come from the democrats, from any man
that had ever hoen associated with Judge Doag
Us in the political trials and struggles which tbe
country passed through during tb* last few years.
I might have imagined that there was some truth
in it ; that, perhaps, there was some foundation
for it; and perhaps, also, that there was som<
reason for the plotting and the scheming charged
But this charge, coming from a gentleman who
ever stood in opposition to Judge Douglas, even
when ho was battling for the interests of tbe de
moerats in Illinois against the old whig party, p
is not to bo for a moment credited. At that tlm*
the gentleman who make* tbe charge was in op
position to Mr. Douglas when he was battlingth*
republicans; and at that time, se hostile wen
they to him that they joined republicanism, abn
litinnism, Scwardism, and all the isms they coub
think of, in th eir opposition. Bush a charge, to

_ The aunlone© was scarce completed whon Mr.
Kellogg was soon deliberately to lonvo his'eeet and
walk over to tb© scat in front of Mr. Logan. The
movoment attracted the *>i all ii> the
H one, aud in an instant thurc was a general rush
from both sides to (hespot. Mr. Kellogg put forth
his hands as if to catch Mr. T.ogutt, who leaned
back. There was then a seeming attempt on tho
part of Mr. Kcl log to grasp Mr. Loguii, but he
did nut succeed. There was a positive dojnun
st rat ion of a hostile intention jju the first not of
Mr. Kellogg, but there was no blotV struck on
the instant of meeting, end tbe nort instant the
two gentlemen were urroundcd by their friends.
Tho greatest confusion prevailed, and every
thing bore muro threatening aspect than the
disorder of Tuesday. In vain the Clerk** ham

swum Around Mr. Kellogg, who was nt last led
away, while others Were surrounding Mr. Logan.
At lust n doubtful peace was restored, and the

Mr. L. said he had yielded the floor only for a

Mr. Taylor ( resuming) said that gcntlemon of
the House should now proceed quietly, but with

clothed with the power and authority saentinl to
