Pars Ons, On the Bill to provide for the pay, emolu ments, ohd perquesites. of the troops re cently' iritlie service of the Commonwealth. In Senate, March 1839. —1 n reply to Mr. Penrose, and othets. Mr. Parsons addressed the Senate as fol lows: Mr. Chairman:— When 1 took my seat on this floor, as a Senator of Pennsylvania, and took that oath which, every Senator is (requir ed by the constitution to take, and became a member of this dignified and honorable body, I supposed that this body assembled for some purposes known and recognized by the laws of the land: I thought we came here to deliberate and decide upon what laws were necessary for the general good of the community, I'did not imagine that this Senate chamber was to be converted into an amphitheatre, where gladiators were to en ter the lists to exhibit their skill in arms or in personal assaults, for the amusement or f ratification of those who may be lookers on. had supposed that when men received such , educations as to fit them for seats on this floor, and when they come forward fo .participate in debate, they would confine themselves to such rules as were necessary for the well governing of a deliberative body. I had supposed that wjien we came to dis cuss Subjects where there was a difference of opinion, that we would beconfined in our remarks to those 'subjects' alone. Unfortunately, however, 1 find that this is not the case. So far from adhering to those rules and regulations—so far from attending to any matter which may be under eonsid-. Oration—-so far even from observing the or dinary courtesies of gentlemanly intercourse, 1 all the transactions of private life are brought 1 up and reviewed before the Senate and the public. If itaffords-satihfactioh to cbnduct the debate in' this way; I ani'ready to meet it; and-if this is the order of the day, I will only say .“when I am in Rome I will do as Romans do.”. Still I ■ hope in the remarks which I may have to make, that I will not follow the example of scurrility set by the Speaker of the Senate. I hope I may so far preserve the character due to the gentleman, as to conduct my defence with some polite ness of phrase; but if I should, in the course of my remarks, treat the Speaker with much severity, he must recollect that he brought it upon himself. I had thought that those rules which should govern gentleman of education down by-, writers on rhetoric, would have been recognized here:, yet we see them all violated and departed -from. It was said by one of the best English writers on rhetoric, that no man should ever speak of himself; yet we find gentlemen rising up here -and pronouncing their own eulogies, and giving their own histories. If this is the order of the day, then the committee will pardon me, if I in some measure depart from it. [Here Mr. Parsons’replied .to MryEwing —a subject so Small as to be deemed only' worthy of excisibn.l ' I had not, for the short period ! Was to continue here, intended making , any speech or public remarks on this floor, on the sub ject under consideration; but the committee knows full well the manner in which I was drawn into this debate. They know tliat this controversy• was never sought-by-me, and that I pever would have raised my voice on the subject, if I had not been compelled to dp it in self defence. I was called upon by die-' Senator from the’ city (Mr. Fraley) to give my views with regard to certain' re- which were adopted at a public meeting in Lycoming, and which had found their way into the public prints: I did re ply to the gehtlematt, and attempted,to sus tain liitions, and ingoing so the conduct of tho honorable Speaker was brought directly in question. He says the attack made upon him was rude. If so tjie fault was his own, for it contained nothing but the truth. He says too, that the attack was made upon him here in the Sefaate, and he replies to it as' sooh as, flie charges are made. If,’sir, he considers this an attack, it was made more than thpeb months ago; for it has been that length of time, since these resolutions were adopted, and why did the Spbaker sleep un der this attack so long? Why did he re main silent until I was called upon by one of his political friends to sustain these reso lutions on the floor of the Senate? The task, I admiti was an unpleasant one, hut howev er unpleasant, it was forced upon .me, and I will never shrink from duty, let the discharge of it affect whom it may:*, r .. v The Se’dator from Washington, too; has told yoU that these - resolutions contained charges against the late Executive; and he jrose to pronounce a eulogy on Joseph Rit [ner! He. has appealed to mp triumphantly to know ifT Will lay aside the protection of the Senate Chamber to make those charges: In reply td this, I Say to the Semrtdt; that those resolutions have bcenbeforis the public eye for more than thrhd dioiithS;— They were adopted on the ifitH of Decem ber, and published in the papers at Harriß hiirg oa the 25tH of that month.' and they haye-been Under the. eye and observation of file late Executive ever since: He retired from office on the lSth of January. Then why has •he not' arraigned me; as a man •of honor he was bound to do, if the charges were of such a character as gentlemen would 1 ranresent them to be,, mid whrhas he not Called rae before a court of jusuce. for what I may have said against him in those resolu tions, when I was a- private,citizen? It is - unnecessary, then,. for me to lay.aside thej projection of the Senate chamber, made no assertions except what were con tained in those resolutions. [* lr - ?• herfe, in replying to Mr; Fraley, of the city, took tip a figure of that gehtle • man, in which democracy was called a dis ease, and carried it out by introducing many • witty, connections and arraying the wliole in one picture. Mr. P. was himself the afllict i ed patient and the federal Senators, were, ; many of them, striving to cure him of his democracy. The related experience and i prescriptions of each were recapitulated, . but after a thorough trial of all their reme dies, on mutual consultation, his case was pronounced desperate by all except the ; Speaker, who asserted that he was cured of : the same disease-in the winter of 183'6, by juici-silver and goWen-tincture administer ed in large doses by the agents of Doctor Nicholas, of the Marble palace in Chesnut street. He, however, expressed fears that the patient might have too much honor and decency to take the medicine.] ‘ The Committee of Safety, too, has been assailed by the gentleman from Allegheny and by the Speaker; I have but little to remark oil this subject. I-will say, howev-. er,. that if that committee.was guilty of trea son, it was a treason which was sustained by the people; I believe, the organization ofj that committee and 'its' acts, to have been 1 productive of much good. It WaS formed by that assemblage of people who were then.at tlie'seat of~g6vernment, and they exerted! themselves to preserve the peace,, and pre vent all acts of-violence. Some of those persons then here assembled, may have been somewhat turbulent, but the people had as sembled here with a view of pursuing a so ber and course. They came here to see that the legislature should be or ganized according to law; and when we re fer to the extraordinary proclamations and publications of the friends' of the late'Exec utiye, it was enough to rouse every man to action. When they saw the proclamations which had been sent forth—when they saw their legally elected representatives reject ed—when they saw the returns of elections withheld,, and -spurious returns sent in, on .which spurious representatives were to be admitted, and when, they saw it attempted to organize the legislature, as if by previous concert-and previous combination, was it any wonder that the people assembled here to protect their rights? But when the peo ple came here, it was found necessary that r. witouta i»i,i».wp V4 >, wuo u, xjouUiA Oi«U operations and regulate their conduct. This committee was appointed with that view, and well did they perform their duty. No lives were lost, nor was any human being injured. Although the Commonwealth was agitated: although the great excitement pre vaded; although the governor had proclaim ed that an infuriated mob had possession of the Capitol; although the people then here assembled were denounced as butchers, bul lies, traitors, and dog keepers, and every other epithet was applied to them by their accusers, still no violence or tumult occur red; Was if not surprising that such tinier and decorum prevailed, and could it be account ed for in any other way than that'the com mittee of safety had great influence upon -the people thenhere assembled? The Sen ator from Allegheny'may. read'the proceed ings of this committee, tie may read their addresses to the public; review their con duct; contrast it with the Idte executive, hhd I tvill leave it to an intelligent public to de cide whether he or the committee of safety were right in relation to this matter; If the members of the committee of safety were guilty qf treason* as the Senator has Charged unon them, let film prosecute them in a court of justice; liot-tb be screened or exculpited-inanypatHicular.— ; —: Tshould occupy tab", much of the time of the committee if I Were to answer all the various argumhehts Which have fallen from' the. gentleman from Mercer, who contended for a particular kind of organization of the Senate. I. say I cannot subscriber to’ the ■ gentleman’s doctrine because it wOuld de prive the people of ode of their dearest eights; When the bMlqt .box isdestrpyed, when the election is treated as if it had riot "Occurred* and When it is attempted ih violation of'ali law, to fill the legislature with men who were not elected ’ by a majority of votes; when such a state of things exists; 1 hold thafcevery citizen of the Commonwealth has a right to express Ills Opinion, "and to frown with indignation upon such conduct. Ike Senator .from Mercer has said that the peo ple of this country were fast leading on to , anarchy and misrule; but what portion of the people was it who were fast leading on to anarchy and misrule? If when the opinions of the., people were expressed, through the ballot hox,'.whCn thejr Have glVeh their votes and elefctcd their representatives to assem ble Ot the metropolis of the State to pass laws fdr their benefit? If when this is done ah attempt waamade todeny those who.had been elected by the people thoir aeats,\ ahd tor place in them those who never were elect ed; '' I ask whether that is hpt leadirig o.n to anarchy ahd riiisriile? Ido hot charge that Senator .with attempting tq produce anarchy and misrule in. the otganizatioh of the legis lature because he Baa dlsaVowe'd it; but Ihe- Heve there were'some of the Senator’s friends whh entertained' vefy different-view's. - Tf the public had believed what the Sena tor Ifym Mercer npwsays,"there Would have been no dlsterbance, no agitation and qo ex citement; But unfortunately these things are'not credited bythe people, ariditwi!) require higher evidence than that presented. [AT TWO DOLLARS PER A-NNUM NEW SERIES—VOL. 3, 3EJQ. 46 the public view to satisfy them bf it. I shall pass by many of the remarks of gentlc meJl because I have not time now to answer, because I may have an opportunity of doing so hereafter. I shall now make a few observations in reply to the Speaker of the Senates .< ¥ was remßr ked by Horne Tnokc, that .. “when a public debater was unable to an swer arguments and resorted to personali ties, it was the dernier resort of mearmess,” and it was said bVan able writer on Historic that "no tnan who could mCet and answer arguments would resort to ridicule.” lap peal then to Senators to say whether it is not evidence that the arguments against the"” Speaker were not such as he could not an swer, and consequently he attempted to meet them by ridicule? In this discussion I do. not wish to forget the character of tile gentleman, and I know how incapable I am of following,the Speaker in the course he has.seen proper to piirsUe. His gross per sonalities—his egotism—his plunges into the depths of scurrility are matters in which I am not skilled, and therefore the Speaker has a great advantage over me. In this kind of exercise I cannot embark, and shall not rob the Speaker of any of , the honors which' he may derive from it. ■ The Speaker has told you wiio his forefa thers were; what blood flowed in his. veins, and given you the whole history of his fami ly.' I rejoice to hear this of the Senator' from Cumberland, X rejoice that he has laid before the Senate the history .Of his an cestors, else I should have been forced to say with Pope—’ , ”His ancient but ignoble blood. Had errp.t through scoundrels ever since the flood.” : "': 1 an> glad that the gentleniart is the son of a soldier of the revolution; and I shall not here say .aught against the reputation of his honored father; The history of the gentle man’s descent has Set my mind right, lind l I have-no doubt it will have its effect on the public mind. Yet ihhat can enable'*, naves, sots or cowards, ■ Alas! Not dll the blood oflall the Howards, The Speaker has attempted to cast a stig ma upon me because 1 came from the wilus of Lycoming county. Sure ! did coin'd from that remote county, but under the constitu tion and laws of this State, I believe she is entitled tp be represented on this floor, and” while I fiere, as her representa tive, I hope’.tny course will be that of-an honest man. 1 hope that my constituents u =vT was advised to do so; Mos,t hdmifablwes- ’ clise! - The Speaker of the Senate had attempted to be, witty in the course of his He said that tlie Senator -from Lycoming was to be the historiaiuof the Buckshot war, and he had appointed his friend frpin'Alle gheny to be my biographer, and when the works were written; he proposed to, haVc them farefaced by likenesses of the Senator from tiyedming and the Senator'from Alle gheny; "and bound up' in the same Volume; ; when they would go down to .posterity arid be as, celebrated as’ fJiilliVfcr’s novels and Baron Munchauson: This is all very well; | and I wish to have ahpther picture introdu ced to complete this work. .1 would have this'Hall drawn byorie of the first American Artists; with the golden eagles which hang over yoiir head and with all itssplendid paintings add decorations; arid I would have it to represent” the scene which occurred here'dn the 4th of December.
