The Spirit Of Democracy

True Bill.

In addition to the above, Senator Carpenter (Radical,) in the

debate on the credentials of Ames, uttered

the following tenth, which was, no

doubt, laughed at by his Senatorial

hearers:

"I have often felt of late that the Judiciary Committee is a useless branch of

this body. It belongs to a state of things

which I fear is passing away. It was

created in the early days of the Repub-

lic, when the Constitution was regarded

as supreme, beyond the reach and above

the power of Congress."

The following is a pretty hard

fling at flunkeys and upstart aristocracy:

"If you meet with a man who is a man,

or a woman who is a woman, and nothing

more, you may find something human

about them; but the quibbles and quirks,

the hypocrisy, and meanness, and heart-

lessness, and treachery, and sordidness

of what is called "good society," are

scandalous beyond all means for scan-

dal."

It is vain to hope to please all alike.

Let a man stand, with his face in what-

ever direction he may, he must necessa-

rily turn a back one-half of the

world,

Horace Greeley says: "Let us have

peace." Wendell Phillips cries out.

"Let us have more blood." Let us see

whose counsel will prevail among the

Radicals.
