I must, however, be permitted to say, in regard to that speech and I say it without the slightest intention of impeach ing the veracity of the gentleman who made it- that I never did hear, in the whole course of mV life, in any place, tor on any occasion, so. gross and ' violent a per version of facts as that speech contained. I was sorry to listen to the assault, the unnecessary assault, made on those citizens who are daily assem bled m the gallenes, looking with an anxious eye on the deliberations of this House. It was their Tight to come,, and no man had a right to murmur at it. ; Noth ing bat the deep importance of the questions involved in this contest liiad brought them here, am there was no reason why they should be assailed for it from any quarter, but more4 particularly by one of the professed friends .of the People. ;J ;.y i -j; v;.-u- v. Mr. Duncan here rose to explain, observing that in the remarks he had yesterday made in relation to many of the persons who were usually assembled in Wash ington, he had made alt the exceptions which could reasonably be demanded, and expressed Ilia hope that the feelings of none had been hurt who were entitled to be included in the exception. "- ' " '' ' ' . "Mr. Botts. resumed. !' I have heard "much about the rights of the dear People, but I. have never been able to comprehend the legal or constitutional distinction of one free white citizen of this Republic from another; I know hot who are the democracy as distinguished from the rest of their fellow-citizens. I recognise the plain and industrious woodsman in the hunting i shut ' of Ohio', Who was so graphically depicted by him yester day, si entitled to all the rights which belong to any other than even to the President of the United States. But it ' was not that part of his speech which pained me most, j I felt most regret at witnessing a wanton and unprovoked attack on the divine sanctity of one of God's own ministers for performing on an important public occasion the official duties of his calling. . The sole of fence charged upon this individual, and for which he was held up to ridicule, was his having . offered . up a devout prayer .to Almighty God for his presence and blessing in a public assembly of freemen, and invoking his'prpvidence that their councils might be guided by wisdom, and that the result of their deliberation miorht redound to the honor, the glory and welfare of our common country. . . , ; . Mr. 'Duncan explained.! I , Mr. Botts Of that the House will judge.

I suppose he reckons a motion to adjourn as a Whig speech. , Certain it is. mat l nave not my sell beard more than about a dozen speeches on one side of the question, and not one on the other but that. of the -gentleman himself. But if the fact really were so, as he states, what would it prove!

We believe the Harrishurg Convention has been guided by wisdom in selecting Wii&t ilsx Hsirax Habbisoh as the candidate to fill this office.
