Richardson and Fuller--Missouri Delegation.
It is known to our readers that the Missouri
Delegation in Congress, have been di-
vided in their votes for Speaker. Messrs.
Oliver and Caruthers voted for Richardson.
the democratic candidate, on the ground that
Fuller, who was voted for by Kennett, Por-
ter and Lindly, was opposed to Southern in-
terests. All these gentlemen have made
speeches. defining their position and votes.
but we have not yet had room for any of
them.
We give to-day, however, from the official
record-the Congressional Globe-the
position of Messrs. Richardson and Fuller.
as defined by themselves, in the House of
Representatives, on the 12th. A telegraph-
ic report of their remarks was published in
a former number, in which Mr. Fuller was
not correctly reported.
We desire the special attention of the reader
to the remarks of these gentleman, and
the position they now, and have occupied.
as it will assist to a thorough understanding
of what may be published on the subject
hereafter. We will give Mr. Lindley's
speech hereafter, as well as some further
remarks of our own.
Mr. Fuller has been denounced as a Free
Soiler, and that portion of the Missouri del-
e gation who voted for him, have also been
charged with recreancy to the South---and
all their friends have shared the same fate.
We submit that Mr. Fuller is a better
Southern man than Richardson, and point to
the record for proof. Let the "Banner,"
the "Platte Argus," the "Dollar Journal,"
and other such bob-tailed, "power-test" con-
cerns and politicians, read the position of
the two gentlemen. and defend Mr. Richard-
son, if they can. He not only admits
the power, but has voted for the exercise
not only has voted for its exercise, but
"threatened" "gentlemen from the South
and Northern Whigs" to repeat the vote
for the Wilmot Proviso. There is a Southern
man for you! Six years afterwards,
when cornered, he apologises, and takes it
back.· Six years hence, when office is to
be gained, he may re-assert it. Yet we are
told he is the man for the South, and Fuller
who denies the power, is called a Freesoiler-
er! Can impudence and political rascality
go further?
Again-Richardson is forced to admit
that he had said the Nebraska Act would
make Kansas a free State! He did not say
this in his public addresses, for he was talking
for the South; but he neutralized his
public addresses with Northern Freesoilers
and abolitionists, by telling them, privately,
that they were fools, and did not know what
they were talking about-that the Nebraska-
ka Act would make Kansas a free State!
We have not room to follow the subject
further to-day, but again invite a perusal of
the remarks of the gentlemen, and will re-
fer to the matter again.
