Mr. Wallace (xicaker An un plcnoiint duly ha been cant upon mo uy iub uccorouo ana gculluinunly be liuvior ol the Senator from Indiana. During ibe cntiro dittcusaion of tliia bill, in committed of tbe vrholo, wliilet I wan upon tha Door and roudr to an- awer Liin in debate, be was aluiliouslj ilent, and only wlicn tbo cotnmitteo roue, and I vrat obliged ta Luke the tlmir tnd put tbe bill on ita final pug ngo, did be with studied plirasc, de liberate manner and evident prepara tion arite in bia pluco and cominenco a foul and unprovoked personal at tuck upon my si II. 1 ougbt not to be cur-priax-d at lliies for it ia but the parallel of bis conduct during most oilier polit ical discubsiuna that, hare occurred whilst I bnvo bad the bouorof place in this chamber. ..Mr. Vuit. YilIlbeSenaloralIow me Mr. Wallaci. The Senator will no permit himself to be interrupted. I'lte Senator from Indiana has de liber ately behaved in thU body bo no fjen lletnnn should behave; and I denounce hia conduct as ungentlemanly nnd dis graceful, and in this denunciation 1 bclicvo I am susluined by every Sena tor upon thia floor, save himself. V lint is the prc'.eit fur such conduct f It is, that I asserted llnit I mnrle the issue in the First Senatorial district aud demnnded a fair apportionment bill ; that I hero doccreled from tbe chair and proclaimed my readiness to go to llio pooplo upon tbo jnstico cf this bill. Sir, nlu n in commitlco of the whole lui-t evening I arose to ad drct the Senate, I asserted what I now reiterate, that li e bill is a just, fair and rquitublo apportionment of the State, w hen it is taken as a whole; that I was already upon record in favor of such a bill, aa 1 had gono to the Firat Senatorial district pending the pjieciul election there and had made tho issue on tbo stump and in the publio prints, that a fair bill was the right of the people ; that the bill oflHtii was unfair ; that the election of a Democratic Senator in that dis trict would given the Democrats the Senate, nnd that with tho Houso and Governor Republican and tho Senate Democratic, tha people would have a guaranty of a junt and fair bill. This was the exlcnl of my ofTending. Bo causo of this the Senator from Indiana fonts his senatorial garments in the filth and niiro of a decluiined stump speech; bccatiso of this he pours npon my devoted head tho volumes of his biiling"gate ; because of (bis my per sonal character is assailed ; because of this a fanciful picture of my connec tion with the uloclioti in the first dis trict is sketched, and 1 am coupled wilb men whom it delights the Sena tor to stigmatise as without charac ter; because of this the vile and in famous political slanders heaped upon mo by a scurrilous party press, and which I have heretofore borno in suf fering and in silence, are revamped and stamped w ith bis base coinage ; because of this I am taunted wilh having heretofore made issues fop the people and found them unsuccessful ; ami becauso of th's my conduct as the official bead of my party is held up to comment and dorision. Sir, notwithstanding bis protesta tions of a desire for fairness, for jus tice and for right, there is not within the aonnd of my voice a man more filled with prejudice, a man whose mind ia more surcharged with party rancor, a man who is moro devoted to pcrsonul aggrandircmcnt, to nclf and to pelf than the Senator from Indiana. Ilia acts today have opened the door, and I do but proclaim in words the universal sentiment of this chamber. Sir, I have no defense to make of men with reborn the Senator has done nio tbe honor to couple me in funded tip orations in the Fourth wnnl.jn the First onntorinl election, lint, air, in matters thai touch the inner life, in those thing that make men rcpeoled and honored in the communities in which they dwell, in prirnlo character, in persontil position, there nro rr.en whom tba Senator holds up io public soorn, who far excel him who de noutioos them. Sir, let tbo Senator cleanse the foul stains from off bis own raiment, let him go to his home and renovate nnd purify the atmos pbero there from tho well grounded charge that make him a thing to bo scorned and hissed at, before lie deals in groundless accusation, in fancy sketch)-. 1 went lo tha first district to make the isstio that I hare already stated; bet It 1s charged that I Man ipulated lbs machinery of tho clec tiona, that 1 pcrpatraM-d frauds,- that my management aided in circling Col.

REP PRINCIPLES CLEARFIELD, PA., - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, point, in awaiting in perfect confi dence the conclusion assured when bo issued tho writ commanding tho elec tion. But alas for tho mutability of an mings mundane. Whon, with a certainly of tho result, vot readv lo do what was to bo dono in the way of cuuming, vno senator and in gang in an airy parlor of tho Girard Houso, al nine o'clock on that, lo him, over memorable night, awuited wilh anx ious mien and throbbincr heart the bringing of the returns and tho fiat of the peoplo eumo, and wilb it tha as tounding news that counting was played out, be rccosrnigod tho oowor of tho verdict, "Ho homo, Harry; thore is nospeakershin for You." Ilia eyes closed forever upon the beatific Tiwiow ar' the -wpeaker a chatr. His pocaets ached lor good things vainly spont, and with fallen plumos ajid satchel in hand bo traveled for tbe railway station, and through all that dark and gloomy night ho sped bin wny to tho mountain county of Indi ana. ' The leadership of bit parly in this body is tbe ambition of that Sen ator. His biatory here shows how it is accomplished. Last year, during ncarlv the entiro session, tho Senator from Indiana was not tbe choice of a majority of Republican Senators for tbo chuir. No fact is better known, none moro easily proved; yet, singu lurly enough, near tho close of the session, some gentlemen suddenly changed front, and from the suppor ters of another, nddenfy became bis enthusiastic advocates, and ho was elected lo the place that of right be longed to his adversary. How this happened I do not know. 1 simply assert a fact, and can only guess at tho potent spell that wielded Iho influenco of which I have spoken. He assumes to lead his party now, and with dictatorial tone attempts to control the legislation of his brethren. His strength is fully pnved by bis call for llio yeas and nays but tbe other day, in which be found a sinlo Senator willing to sustain bim, whilst all others arrayed themselves against bim. To insure the defeat of almost any measure npon tbo floor of this chamber, tho championship of that Senator is the best weapon to nso. Tbisdoutfhty champion, who aspires to lead bis party bore and in tho com monwealth, holds up my acts and my record ia tbogsrc of the people, and!0"1 como frora man W,,,,H0 mind is . ... ' . ;i;u.,nn.i I... ..:..,i:.. "..n , seeks to muke capital from my ndvo cocy of this bill. Sir, a vile, disrepu table and improper character, as the Senator paints me, I may bo ; but. sir, I have sought no leadership. I bare mado no suspicious comliinations. Yet, when 1 am in tho front, I bavo an harmonious, united and determined Mirljr nt my back. They know, sir, lhat 1 do but soou 4. do m.j. duty, whether it bo ns an bumble member or in official position, and they recog nize that 1 am a Democrat. When I was called to tho front in 1SG, I was nt my home, seeking no such promo tion ; yet, sir, even then, when the Republican organization was flushed wilh its success, in tho aenith of ils power, I accepted tbo leadership of a j forlorn Dope, and w ith honest purpose and determined will, I attempted the reorganization of my party, and sought lo bring success to ita princi ples. In IHOti I continued my efforla, and in prediction of the result that now confronts us I asserted tbo deter mination of our adversaries to enfran chise llio negro. The Republican majority of nearly 23,0UU in lHii dwindled to about 17,0UU in 100, and when in 1x07 my party hearkened to n.v n,U-i.. anil Ar,nloA a nnli,.- D...I I, in my humble way attempted to in culcate, tbo inajorily of 17,000 was wiped out, and the Stule was once moro upon llio side of llio Democracy. When tbo campaign of 1 808 came llio Democracy of I'ennsylvaniu wero in the forefront of tbe battle, unci neither policy nor enndidato was of their selection. They acquiesced in tho issuos mado and candidates chosen by thoir bretbern, and I may be permit ted lo say that, in llio face of enor mous expenditure of money by our adversary, of a military candidate wilh undoubted popularity at thai hour, and of stnpondousjiolitical frauds hy tho Republican organization, no such contest ' is aipon record a they mado al the October election of WiH This, too, sir, in spito of the virulent daily abuse of my humblo rtelf as their leader, which tba Senator from Indi ana has resurrected today in this chamber, and tbe ntler falsity of which is as well known lo him as it is to the Republican Senators who mndo tbo In vestigation, many of whom are now here. Sir, these false and infamous charge of personal derelictions are reproduced to givo point nnd venom to an unprovoked personal and politi cal attack. It was left lo the debased and groveling mind, to tbe venomous fury and disappointed political ambi tion nf a Sonnlnr who Itnnw thrir nn. truth and should havo been first to vindicate me, to revamp Iho lie and stamp it with his endorsement. .Never before within this chamber have (hose lies boen n-prodnoed, and I shall not I company appenicu to mo Pupromr hnaitntn in the. futtim in Hniinnnce I Court, L'cneral term, which allirmrd them as I do now. as utter, tinmiti.'ii-1 ted nnd absoluto falsehoods.

The popularity of your nominee, and luv ish expeudilnro of your money, gave you tho preponderance, but your ina jorily of lMiti was reduced by nearly ono half, and was equal to but ono and ono half por ccnlum npon the wholo vote. During all of theso yenra Republi ean tnapirilie wero decreasing, and when lMill rime and another gentle man took tburgoof the organization, again your m spin lies were reduced lit says "1 never learned anything ono half and in 170 npon Iho popular about bow lo git a living." There is vote you are found in an absolute. bill one man that can befriend this minority. I am cbarired with framinrr tbi hill. and it i alleged that it is in my Inter- est.

Io equalizo thoir representation as a whole, soems to bavo bocn tho idea of the committee and it is entirely justi fiable to my mind. But bo charges that tbe bill io mado in my interest No Senator who has a mind free from prejudico, could make such an rgu meut against this bill. The votes of every Democratic Senator here arc necessary to the passage of the bill and I can tell tho Senator that it is not the practice of tbe Democracy to cio unwise or strango things at the behest of anv individual. Sir, look around vou ; here opon this aide of the chamber nro many of my peers; nay, air, men whom I recognized as my superiors in nlatcsmansbip and knowledge, my equals in integrity, and in evory thing that makes the man. Not here alone, but in the party wo represent, arc scores of men, proud of ita record, dovoled to ils principles, earnest in ita labors, who stand a bend nnd shoulders above mo io intellect and knowlcdgo, and shall it bo said that these, tbo reprcscnta tiveo of that greut party, shall sit here and pander to such a result as tbe Senator charges npon them f Sir, I scout and repel tho charge; it could diseased by prejudice, full of party raacor, depraved by disappointed am bition and unable lo preserve bis eqoilibritim in witnessing the down full of bis darling schemes. Tho per sonal charges mado in tho stump speech ol the ronutnr Irom Indiana, I have replied to it in warmth and with feeling.

Senators Blair nnd Jiuyard consti tuting a minority of the commitlco. round themselves unable to agree wilh tho majority, and preacnt their views at lenglh. Alter citing the resolution under which tho committee w-as ap pointed, and referring to tho report transmitted to the President in an- swor tojlhe Senato resolution of inquiry in rolation to tho ulleged organization of disloyal persons in North Carolina, tho minority ksj-s : "Thus it will ap pear that the resolution, under which tho special committee was appointed, is founded on the report transmitted. ns alurcnaid, ty tho ''resident. In Btanlly upon this appointment, the committee organized and proceeded without delay to cxamino witnesses, who wero apparently all ready in wailing in tho city of Wmhington, lo wit : The son of Gov. Holdcn, Col. Georgo W. Kirk, nnd Bergen, bis lieu tenant colonel. Ho opportunity, aavo that afforded by its tingle rending in tho Somite, has been given the under signed to inspect tho report of llie majority, or obtain proper knowledge of its contents. Tbo report was read onco and instantly transmitted to the printer, by whom it has not yet boon returned. Wo desiro to attract the attention of the Senate to the scope of tho resolution under which tho com mittoe have octed : 'To inqtiiro into tho truth or falsehood of the crimes and outrages of a politicul character in tho Southern States.' Hero is an unlimited field of general allegation, qualified only by tho word 'political,' and conveying nothing definite to the communities whose domestic nmiirs were without notice or specified charges to have a congrcsnional drag J net thrown over litem and be hauled beforo tho committeo ; and the cloning paragraph of t he resolution only ag gravated tho dangers and difficulties of such an inquisition by inquiring whether there be in thoso States se curity lor persons and properly after saying thai no State has pissed any laws in violation ol llio Litirtccntli amendment, and that nn question bad been mndo relative to the exercise of power in the emergencies set forth in tlie rourin suction or article three in tho Constitution." The minority con tinue: "The undersigned are therfore at a lews to discover where such power is derived as is act forth in the resolu lion and acted npon by the committee, and therefore they protest in the name and under tbo limitations of the Con slitulion of the United States agaim-t any and all action of nn inquisitorial character into the internaland domes tic afTuirs of any of the States, or any attempt by Congress or tho executive to interfere with tho State govern ments of citizens individually as to matters not cognizable by tho Federal Government. In viow of the fact that North Carolina is in all respects under tho Constitution and laws upon an equal fooling with all the other States of ihe Union, the minority assei t that any claim of power to investigate the internal and domestic, u flu in of that State to invade her police powers of control over all matters j within her jurisdiction must be equally valid nnd bavo equal force when ap-j plied lo any other State, und tha ro- j served rights of tho Consti'ulion of, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio or New York are in no degreo more secure than thoso of orlb Carolina. 1 power is, in the opinion or tho minori ty, unwarranted by tbo Constitution, sod utterly subversive of our federal system ol State governments. Thcyt''eme measure of proclaiming the say further thero can no longer be urged tbe plea of "military necessily." Tho flag of the nation floats in placid security in every part of tho Union, and thero is no pretense of opposition in any quarter to the peaceable opera lion of llio civil authority. After set ting forth that the kind of investiga tion pursued hns simply given nn op portunily for tiny one lo como forward and assail the State and peoplo of North Carolina by any character of testimony, or in any manner that prejudico or testimony can eujto-.l, iho minority eontinno: "Hut nil this is mantlc-Mly the ireuK of a plan 'rut and dried, l.y a conspiracy lornicd of disappointed politicians who hnvc lost tho cohfidenco of their people, and bavo been east out of nftleo by the ' almost unanimous voico ofa betrayed and injured constituency. At the , bead of this conspiracy plainly stands William W. lloltlen, tho governor of North Carolina, aud now undergoing trial by process of impeachment for high misdemeanors nnd gross abuse of bis official power.

Hnyd, upon whose solo testimony they any 1ho majority largely rely io justify them in their remurkablo conclusions re specting tho condition of society in North Carolina. This witnesn, the minority say, ia a very young man, and by bia own statements has little or no personal knowledge of the mat tcrs whereof he speaks. They review bis evidence minutely, and character ize il as weak, corrupt and shambling. In tho sumo manner they impeach the reliability of the testimony of the re mainder of tho witnesses, not ono of whom the minority assert testifies to facts within bis own knowledge, tend ing to provo North Carolina lo bo less sale as a place of residence than any portion of tho Union lying north of her boundaries, llio minority then enter upon on extensivo argninont to show that Ihe disorders u bich havo existed in North Carolina aro attrib utable lo misrule of the so called car pet bag State officers, the unwiso leg. isiauon oi Mingress, nnu Iho machina tions of the Loyal League inciting and instigating: tho negroes to idleness, disaffection nnd lawlessness. In sup port of these propositions tbo minori ty quote verv largely from llio tesli mony of tbe lion. John Kerr, ex-mem-bcr of Congress from North Carolina, N. A. Ramsey, and others, nnd a number of other witnosses who were examined and cross examined before tbo committee. Tho minority say il will bo seen from the above statement that there has been no resistance to the execution of process of tho courts, no obstructions tn Afli.u.ea let ilm ever ciso of their functions. The report of the majority seeks to evado tho force of ibis fail, thus admitting Ihe fact by asserting that tho ku klux orguniza lion is bo banded together a to defeat the ends of justice, by intimidating witnesses, packing juries and procur ing witnesses lo swear falsely in favor of tho accused if ho belongs to Hint order. The reply lo this is easy and complete. Tho statute law of the Stale gives the solicitor and the judgo tho power to remove causes from any locality in tho State to any other lo cality, nt the option of the prosecu tion. F.very judge and every solie-i-lor in the Slalo was a Radical ; there wero localities in tho state in which the radicals predominated overwhelm-1 ingiy, and il ihecrimo was committed where tho influent o of tho ku klux prevvntod a conviction, it was only neccssaty for the solicitor to make a molion ai d the judgo would order the removal of tho cause from county to county until a satisfactory venue was reached. It is perfectly evident from tho evidence that the process of the courts could be executed without mili tary force, nnd lhat no resistance was offered to fts execution. It is also clear that the causes could l.ave been removed Irom any place to some county in which a fair trial might havo been had. Why, then, did tho governor prefer to resort lo tho ex counties ol Alamance ana Caswell in insurrection rather than use the reme dies ready to bis bund of removing the causes to tho counties in which convictions might have been obtain ed ? Why did he call on tbo President for troops, set on foot his negro mili. tin, led by ruffian imported into the Slate on account of their extraordina ry brutnlily, and proceed to aeizo, im prison, insult nnd torture bis prison ers T Thero ia but ono explanation. His object was lo strike terror to the people and drive them from the polls, and thus carry tho district and main lulu Iiliiiclf anj Ills inlsci eanta In power.and thus bo enabled to continue M plunder and tyrannize over the nn happy people who bad been subjected to his kway by the direct action of '.he Congress of tbo United Smtes. This i U'e only explanation which can be K' ven for conduct so utterly nnneees sary. ho ever heard before ot the proclamation of martial law in a country where tho process of civil courts could be exorcised without ro sistunce.

Ho' Call ed the Presidentto bis assistance, and lo whom be already looked aa his fit t tire emperor, who did not fail bim in bis hour of need, hut dispatched the Ironpa of the United States to sustain Ibis worthless miscreant and conspi rator in power, llnving failed in bis nefarious purpose, and apprehensive thul be might be dealt with for his crimes, his first effort is to pr'pitiate thoe whom ho has wronged by con fussing what all knew to be true, that peace, good order and quiet aro su- promo in thol State.

An examination of the depositions taken before the commit tee, and their comparison wilb tbe document appended lo tho mossages of tho President oa these suhjeois, win oxiiidii a mere repetition ot tbe samo fuels by the sumo witnesses. thus uiukini; each case of outrage do frequent service in tho way of exciting new horrors and arousing additional animosities. Again, it is observed that different wiluwvos recount the same causo of outrago, with. wuuU ,. laiiuna a tnuir imagination may create. A n examination of this mass of testimony will discloso Iho fuel lhat no outrages are proven to have occur red in more than six or eiirht counties. all of avhich are uumcd, and of those counties Alamance and Caswell were chiefly alleged lo be Ihe scenes of such lawlessness. I hcno were the counties selected by Holdcn as Iho peculiar objects of bis vengeance, and which were enmimttod to tho mer cies -of Kirk and Bergen; aud yot tho sufferor, whoso oas had been re cited by every witness cailed from that region, one Caswell Holt, a color ed man, who had been most cruelly Dcaten ny a band of disguised men. and subsequently wounded severely, was brought bolore tbe committee to recount bis suficrim-s. I is personal knowledge of all the cases in that county was limited to sir, and four of theso outrages had bocn committed by nana oi aigaised colored men, whose leader confessed it to Cuswi ll. Tbe number of these outrages, detestable and wicked as they are, is neverthe less grossly and widely exaggerated ; and ibis no one can doubt who will examino the testimony, and who has any knowlcdgo of the credulity and inaccuracy of statcmonts characteris tic of our well-meaning colored peo ple. North Carolina ia Ono of the iurgost Stutes territorially in the Union, and is divided into eighty -seven counties and contains nearly ono and a half millions of peoplo. No act of lawlessness is actually proven to have been committed, excepting in ono or tlie other of six, perhaps eight, of these counties; and yet it is pro posed to employ violent nnd stringent measures of eewrcion and repression to tho rcmaininz nino tenths of the statu against which no breath of evidence or proof of lawlessness hns ever been adduced, but which, on the contrary. exhibits a condition of quiet almost suggesting the inaensibilily of despair. What can be alleged, w hat justifica tion lo ttio American people can be used, for this renewed aud wanton in vasion of a peaceful community f The statement that anarchy tLere exists is absurdly untrue, and testimony now laid before the Senato over helm ingly establishes ils untruth. Ifng gressiro laws are to be enacted, let all disguise bo cast off and the true reason avowed. It w ill not ho less violent or wrong, but it will be less hypocritical and more ' manly. To any fair-minded man wo confidently commit the proofs contained in tho testimony now presented by tho com mittee, and over that such wrongs as have been inflicted upon our unfortu nate and crushed people by the rulers r""'oa 0Tcr lhcm "ot 'ylhcirown ,,v "ul " ' inw "" no powers by tho Congress of the United Slates, no example of equal submissiveness and patient endurance can be fonnd in history a is now pre sented by tho people of the stale of North Carolina. This is tho truth in nut shell, that Hnldttn and bis offi cial supporters have failed to maintain themselves hy any means, foul, as well as fair, in their State. They have ap pealed to popular elections and have been rejected wilb something near lo unanimity by every taxpayer in tho Slate, and now Congress is asked lo slep in and force North Carolina down again under tbe feet of her Rad ical master.", and we fear that Congress will attempt to do this unwise and wicked thing. Will the peoplo of the North, freo as yet, see this thing done and sustain its promoters f We hope not, wo pray not. When will tho men now in power learn the troth of what tho great statesman of our coun try said so wisely nnd well, when sim ilar attempt wero mado to govern British India? It is ihe nature of tyranny and rapacity never to learn moderation f rom the id suc c ess of first oppressions; on tho contrary all men aro thinking highly of the methods nictated hy their nature, attribute ibe tenul ml inn of 1 linir ittiwir-u lo til want ol sullicienl vigor, and then they re double the efforts of their impatient cruelty, which are producing, as they must produce, now disappointments ; they grow irute against tho object of their rapacity, aud then vagne fury and malice implacable, hecuuse un provoked, recruiting and reinforcing Iheir avarieo, thrirvices are no longer human.
