TH THE LATEST NEWS B -4R'" THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS FIRST SESSION WASHINGTON Doc., 21.—Housx—Mr. Da vidson, of La., said hn sew no use of the indul gerice in harsh language, find certainly had no desire to wound the feelings of any gentleman. He liked to have the freedom of speech for him self, and therefore he would never tresspass-on that right as applied to others. It wm a grave er ror to say that the South wants to force sla very into the territories. All they ask,and which they are determined to have, is that their rights shall be rejected in the common territories of the country. He belonged to the National Democra cy.. If troubles exist in the party, let them be settled inside of the organiiation. He was wil ling to let the by-genes be by-gones. While he wanted the House to Organize, would not Con sent to do it by the election of a man whose mantle is stained in 1)10,0 spilt by sedition. He never believed in the doctrine of seces sion, and did not believe in it now, but when the people are aggrieved, and their rights trampled on without redress, there was no oth er remedy. It was no longer the politicians spirt here to manufacture public opinion who talk fib ut this gracious evil ; it was the whole Southern heart, which comes u i with one voice to say, "Stop! go no further. You have passed the Rubicon. You must stop whore you are, or the objects for which the confederacy was fOrmesl must cease." He ... would candidly tell gentlemen that unless such raids as those o f John Brown shall be stopped there will be war between the North and the South. Ile argued that the Republicans were here as a party to strike down the rights of the Southern States. He read front the comp endium of helper's honk to show the( it. ad v ises that the infernal question of slavery must be disposed of and absolutely abolished, as the true policy of the South. In view of these kind of sentiments did not John Brown believe that Mr. Sherrnan and others would 'stand by him ? Was it expected that his constituents and the State of Ise/Wane should consent that this Union be controlled by the party which advise the slaves to rise in the South and commit murder? He charged that the Representatives of the North, who ad vised this thing, have not hail the nerve, in the face of a decent community, either to endorse or gainsay the teachings of that book. He had been asked whether he would consider the mere election of Mr. Seward as stitticient eau., to secede from the Union, and had answered certainly not. He would wait for an ovigt act. But that overt act had bees eourifitittea, arid Seward is accraiory Refer,: John Brawn's raid, for which, before God and high heaven, the Republicans are responsible, his ardent love for the Union prompted him to hope that the bitter cup would pass away. hot climate. soil and their products settle the slavery ques tion.

Mr. Etheridge ignored all political and geo graphical lines, and until Mr. Burnett could rally the Dotnocratie forces ho could not ar raign him who was elected in defiance of that party. (Applause.) Mr. Burnett spoke of,the love of Kentucky for the Union, which was applauded, and be asked his colleague, Mr. Anderson, why ho did not vote for Millson ? Mr. Anderson replied that he was born and raised o Whig, and had voted consistently for an American. and would do so to the end of the contest. He would not vote fur Millson, beenuSe he was a Democrat and could not vote for Sherman because he was a Republican.— Further ho (Anderson) was in favor of the Kansas Nebraska bill, and could not, therefore, vote for Millson, because Millson was against that bill. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Burnett, in reply, said Mr. Ether-ides was here at the time; and, with Millson, voted against the Kansas Nebraska bill, and yet his. colleague could not vote for Etheridge as Speak er. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Hill, speaking with much energy, said; when he yielded the floor to Mr. Burnett, he did not expect the latter would stigmatize the organization to which he belonged, as the mis erable Know-Nothing party. Ile had voted for Mr. .Millson because he respected that gen.

He (Hill) came intro againSt the oppo sition Democratic party, and with sentiments rather peeulinr,and rather more Southern than those expressed by Mr. Burnett. But he would never, so help him God, consent to destroy the structure under which we live, merely because a man with objectionable political principles, should be elected to the Presidency.
