violated the oath of pltieo and per

those who were prosecuted by him,

they assert, he is a dangerous man.
The question is not w hat kind of a
matt Mr. Avery is, bnt rt a qnea
tion of law : 1 he banned by the
Ilnwmd amendmeut? Lie rccofrnized
the Howard amendment as a part of
the 'Constitution, and it it could be
shown to'him that any member -on
this floor was banned by that instin
ment, let lint be Democrat, Whig,
llepublican or UaUicai. ne wouiu u
to vacate his scat, lie assured Sena
tors that he did. noidefeitd Mr. AVery
on partisan grounds, and he wasglatj
to say that he had generally found

use this languargo to flatter, bnt was
sincere in what he said, and lis felt
pioiid that ho could apeak thus of a
body, of which he was a member.
Me appealed to Senators to cast aside
all question irrelevant to to the case
. . i m . .
in point to lorget mat air. Avery
was ever a secosionist and fnino up
fairly uud sqiiasely to the point : Is

Ik would admit if, and, nnifW Uiat

Senators, the tent in tho reconstr

ihey esi;rod with the the l'rovtsfeftB
GuTornmont ; they havo aceomplibMs)
ed the putMHie lor which they were
infeded, and that was to get us back
iu tho Union. When he took his
seat, as Senator, he simply qualified,
llow did the Senate know that he
wus not banned t SimjTy from his
own declaration. Simply on the vir
tue of lis own veracitr. and in that
innnner all of' the ti were admitted.
Mi.j. Avery says ha will swear he did
no; ti.ke an oa'ii Mupport the Co:ieti
tiiiiiui of the Untied States. The Sen
ate bclived him. (Mr. llobhins.) Why
not believe Maj. Avery j you tav he
.rtako the oath. 1'roveit. Why
sjiv voti do not believe him ; why in
aii't iiis constituents by saying you
doubt the veracity of their favorite;
why insult North Carolinians by im
peaching the veracity of her honored
son ? Again, Mr. Av'ery was elected
to the otiico ot Solicitor just two
weeks before tho State seceded. It
was tit of tashhwi at that time fcro
to lake such oath. When he says he
did not take it, it is presuming a gieat
deal to say he did, and, if ho did not
take the oath according to law, ho
was never Solic tor. He mar have
acted as sach, but was never legally
qualified.
Again, Mr. Avery was elected just
two weeks before the State seceded
at least a month after the war had
actually begun. What does the How
ard amendment say ? It says those
who held an ofHce, prior to the war
and took an oath to support the Con
stitntion of the United States. There
is no evidence here that he did lake
the oath, and If you vote to expel
him, ron vote in the dark. He did
not believe they would d it, but,
if they did, ho did not know how
ihey would miswer to their conscU
ences or to titer constituents.
At this stage of the discussion thePres
i.l. nt alnte, I that the rliscuseion was out!
of order, as the question before the Sen
ate was the recons iderattou. to postpone;
but be would not rule that it was out of
order, unless there was objection mads
by Senators. Objection was made.
It was here ascertained that Mr. Long
did not vote with tho majority, aud h id
no right to make the inotiuuo reconsider,
Mr. Jones of Wake, renewed the no
tion. Consequently, ....
Mr. Aloore, of Carteret, called the pre
vious question.

The question recurring on the orginal
resolution to vacate the scat,"""
Mr. llavssaid that if tho Senate had
decided, on yesterday, that the Senator
was -aot-.eBtitW-to.hIs-senA,.and -ha. had
not gotten hi disabilities removed, he was
clearly not entitled to it now. As to tbo
talk about the party- beirig msjintotts
and liberal, they do not deserve any lib
erality, as they have never shown any.
Mr. Graham said that Judge Pearson
had given It as his decision, in Chambers,
that the Howard amendment did not ap
ply to county officers, ana it was aiso tno
decision of Judges Brooks, Buxton aud
Russell. If, in the face of these opinions,
you decide that it does, he asked for no
liberality but for simple justice, ud ho
asked all Senators to vole upon this
question simply a a mater ot law. I
