crime; Jefferson could not debate with
Burr bis treason; Judas did not even
ask to discuss the ethics of bin teach
ings, but had the decency to go out
and jhang himself. .
Since it became known that Marion
Butler, while a Senator, holding North
Carolina 's commission, for pay pro
cured a suit to be' brought against
North Carolina,.' iio North Carolina
speaker bas been willing to mee.him
in debate. Before be was known to
have committed moral, treaspu, Ay
cock, Glenn and others disousoed pub
lic questions with him as with other
Republicans. ' But since that - act be
came known no Democrat bas debated
with him. The reason is thus stated
by Senator Simmons: -i. r '
' What Butler emeny desires to dis
cuss is whether be in the matter of
the bonds betrayed bis State. iThat is
not an open Question. The evidence
of Butler's treachery to the State is as
conclusive as the evidence of Bene
diet Arnold 's treachery to the country.
If. Benedict Amo'd were alive and
here and wanted to debate tbe ques
tion of .whether he bad betrayed bis
country, no one would debate that
question with him. - Why, then, should
auy ?eivriu varoua iemocrat oeoaie
with Mr. Butler , the question of
wbetber.be bad betrayed bis State t

The evidence. of treachery is as eon-
elusive in one case as in the other.
It is a settled question and not a mat
ter of debate."
