Jones, of Tennessee, Delivered in the Senate, February 25, 1856; In Reply to the Speech of Hon. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, of February 18, on the Affairs of Kansas Territory Mr. Jones, of Tennessee. Then, sir, ou must pardon me if I consider it as a great insu t an insult unbecoming a Senator to make on that body. It is a coordinate branch of this Govern ment, and the strong arm and citadel of our safety. For purity, integrity, virtue, honor, and all that ennobles and dignifies the race to which you might belong, it stands unimpeached and unim poachable. The Supreme Court the citadel of slavery! No offense in that! No taunli - oh, no! That is perfectly harmless! Anti yet when we repel such assaults we are considered boasters and braggadocios! Again, sir, the Senator said that, if he owed his place here to anybody, he owes it the President of the United States. When I v'ery kindly, and, I thought, politely - for I certainly did not mean to do, and do not think I did, the. Gentleman any injustice - assigned a paternity to the Senator, I said the Devil had a wa of taking care of his own. He says that if t at be so, the President of the United States is the devil. That is a ques tion for you (addressing Mr. Hale) and the President to settle. [laughter.] I have nothing to do with it. This much I do say, that if you came here, as you say you did, by the agency of the President, and you are indebted for yourseat to him, you are the most ungrateful wretch that ever disgraced the American Senate. [laughter and applause in the galleries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
