Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: T. L. Harris, of Illinois, Upon the Kansas and Other Political Questions, and in Reply to Messrs. Foster, of Georgia, and Norton, of Illinois Mr. Foster,) has claimed here to Sl1ppO1l3-llllle Nebraska billtlie sound democrats of the North on everv occasinn 4 uereci by their midnight assassinations, and in their places were put those men Wo are designated here as Republicans, and whose ascendency and power in this House gives the gentleman such fearful forbodings. And vet the gentleman ta emocratic party with the paucity of their numbers on this oor., His friends have been the assassi is Who have butchered them, and it comes with an ill race from him, or from any other of those who act or have acted with him, mo ati party because they are not more numerous here. Now, s r, had it not been for the ailiation of his own partv commenced in 1854, and continuing to this hourexeept here and there-wi hthe Republican party, the Democratic party would have been as powerful in this Hou eas it ast gre I defy that gentleman to show me one instance in the whole Noith where. a Democrat was running as a candidate for a seat on this oor but hemet the steadfast and persistent opposition of the party to which the gentleman belongs Mr. Foster. I will er the gentleman-that in the State of Ohio, Mr. Nichols. Mr. Mott, Mr. Day, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Vatson, Mr. Giddings, Mr. Wade and in Stantonnone of whom were Americans but all anti-Americans-were elected Mr. Harris. That is dodging the question, Mr. Chairman. Did the gentlemans own party run any man in opposition to these men? Not in one single instance. Did l1l Sparty vote for any man in opposition to these men? Not in a sing instance. But in every district in the whole North, these men, who thmigh not menib sof us own party, could lie in the same triickle bed with them and lflit etogether, and propagate their infamous party power, were supported by the American party; and in every instance Where regular Democrats supporting the Nebraska bill and supporting national principles were opposing hem, they were as bitterly assailed to advance the in erests 0 such men as Giddings, Wane, and he others whom the gentleman has named who he says are not uiembers of the American party, as though they were. This tatemeut, instead of helping the gentleman, only makes the ease teii time Worse, because it shows that his dark lantern friends were not so miie intent in advancing the interests of their own organization, as in aiding the Black Republicans, and in striking down the national men of the North Mr. Moore. The only reason why, in 1854, the Democratic party did not receive the support of the American party Was, that the Democratic candidates fought the American party, and left this solitary question entirely out of issue. Mr. Harris. Worse and worse! The gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Moons) who is of the same party of the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr Fosrna does not deny that the Democratic candidates Were sound and national upon his nestioii, which has in its solution the very existence of the Government, aiidl yet upon his petty ephemeral, oath-sustained policy, he was willing to Blalm- l1t8I these iiationa Democrats, and send a parcel of abolitionists and freesoiler here in preference to such men because these abolitionists and frcesoilers did not oppose, or did in fact favor, his Know Nothing doctrines. Mr. Foster. Does the 0 C11tlCI11aI1llOld that Congress has power to legislate upon the subject of slavery in the territories? Mr. Iarris The gentleman jumps from one point to another so rapidly that it is difficult to follow him, and these questions put so constantly to every member who rises to the floor remind me of an old aphorismthat examinations are always dangerous, for the greatest fool ma i ask a question that the wisest man cannot answer. But I will answer him openly, and now. I deny the existence of that power, and ever expect to. And I deny also that the peopl
