The re.L-oii be hn ni?w in if te. :itnl no dotiht re, very satisfactory to hirnelf ; btit I appifliend they will not be o to the friends of even handed jus tice. It j due to mycelf to mv that I do not propose to up; eil to any Senator to fupjort the report of the committee. No.cirjniy main object i to plate mjfflf right on thep.tfre of Itidory. If I can Hscoinpli'b this, I am content, lei the reult be what may. I confess, fir, tint I have been 'amazed at the party organization ethibited on what Ins been mi justly and ably trc ate as a judicial ijnestion by every member of the Judiciary Committee who hi (Nken in for of the re;ort. I may well fear my inability to neeeed against mo for midable an array of accuser, and ueh a Yiiriety of iccualtoo. I said on : former fccaion that ha-i 1 known ot the lull projortions of this or ganized elfort to take my citU fmm me, and the mean to be employed to etVect it that tlie charge of diloyitlty (tor that i the only peclfication in the remdution) was to be added to and multiplied attliewill and pleasure of every speaker that every vote t'eii or opinion expressed not in con I'orni'ty with the pwuliar view of those who are my accuser and toecubir t, was to h brought nifnoist me iw a crime, I intbt, with the greatest propriety ha e akl for counel; but conciou lint I hive not said, done, written or voted any. thing inconsistent with the prerogative of an American Senator, I did not ak it, and I do not te jret not lr in dono m. 1 hall not attempt to dileM myelf from tlie partisan blow leveled at me with u"h fury by inteqsinj; legal fornn and technical! lies. I.et the light of day be pourel In ujon every act of my political life iroper to be inquir ed iUt in this i iMinectioii, and, a I sai l on a former occismmi, I iejMt now, I challenge tnes ligation.

I 'JJM. of idiOwili lliMt I h td bffelj ill the habit of correpmdirig with Mr. Lincoln. I am glad it lias been done. It cn ihla me, from the lce of üfTerent paper, r-ennel at ti'flerut rcriodu, to show wlnt mr rtl xti -i:sj were with Mr. Lincoln, and my opinion of him. Ion? before evea tbe t'toiibt of disunion wa expres-f.1. The Senator from Maine, Mr. Morrill, in hi a-isault upon me. laid pre'al ire- on tlie cordial ity of feeling eiore-sed in n.-y letter of the 1st of March, bort toward the j cr.-n to whom it w..a addrced and toward the j-er-on in whoe belnilf it was written; and volunteered the opinion that it f-ounded like the language of a courtier. I have none other than a more parsing acqinint atice with that Semtor, and hi. total ignorai-.cc of my character is d:sclo-ol by eiitui ing to make hucli au imputation upon it. If he knew me bet ter, he would have known tint whatever be my defects, this was not one of them. With moie sycophantic smiles, and fewer look and tone- of defiance since thiii pro-fution commenceil, I can scarcely doubt that I should have leencd the nundierof my prosecutors, and ulcited the venom of their attack; but with entire confidence in iny innocence and integrity, all I a-k, or have a?ked is justice. I wi-h now to call the attention of the S'Titte to the similitude of language in each .f these let ters. When the first wa written was chairman of the Committee on Public Huildings nil I (Ironnds. Captain Franklin, to whom it .13 jjif. dressed, was in charge of tlie Capitol extension, and to some extent umU-r their direction. This brought mein daily communication with Captain (now Oej. era!; Fr-.i.klin. No doubt Mr. Lincoln knew this, and solicited the letter, stating what his nbjert w is. I have bom in the ahmet daily habit of giving letters of introduction to friends und ;u qu liiitaiK es for veirs part, as a matter of course, and as I presume mot nieudters of Con gress have, particularly those who may be in Minpalhv w ith the prty in power at the time. In the letter to Captain Franklin, I .stated what Mr Lincoln' busiru was: "II- has a rnjii.-ltiai ti iiiitki- t j a connect tif m j 1 1 a k'lul f macliine he un1-rtaml yii are usiniriii the pub lic imiirvvt tiit-iit umlrr jour conirt-l." I further said: 'I cotn'nrrt.1 h'm t you a a rr!iab!e pcnt!ia mi in rvrry M-iiae of t lie wort, int tx-njn-ak fjr tiiui jimr Liuit cim1-eraij.-it." In mi ting iuch letters, my mind, and I pie siime that ol others, da ell almost entiielv on the relation the pvixm asking it bears to me, .md I have no m-oMection of but a single case in which j I ever ielu.-cd a letter of introduction to a friend j or acqnuintaiice. I have given them, as of com m, I wl.ei e 1 had coiitiieiu.e in the character and stand in;; of tlie .ippiicant. and generally Mated, 11 he it-que.-tcd, his object in asking for the let ter, without eeti a thought in relation to that object. Hut it 1 also asserted tint the address of the letter to Mr. Davis u 1 'resident of the Cor. fed e rate Slates," is ev idence of Jinloyalty. My answer is, that 1 had neither the authority nor intention to recognize the lavfulne?s of hi.s cl.im to the oflice he held in fact, and I .upMe I atl lres.-ed him us a matter ol coute.-v bv the title hcciaitinil, and, in doing this, did no more, a was well iaid by the Senator from C ililornia, Mr. Latham. than was repeated by Senators on this floor in open debate, toit before and attcr thedate of my letter. I had bet n for many y ears on terms of fricndl) personal and political iclation.s with Mr. Davis, and in common with those who knew him, had a high opinion of hi character and capacity, and of course lei I justified by tho-ehut recently s event! relations in giv nig a letter of iniroiluction to In 111 without tt Ii v leicieiue to the j o-ilioii he claiiiittl; nor did I then for a moment belicv e that civil w.ir could or would be refuted to n a rem edy for the settlement of our sectional dillicultic. Nay, more, for weeks bwlnre, and for ilav.s il not weeks alter this letter w;h written, letiers und docuuienU weie transmitted by your mails, ad diessetl to Mr. Davis y the same title, without ol jeetiun or giving ri-e to the idea that Mali an iiddrc-s was a recognition of his lawful title to the ollico ho claimed or any impeachment of the loy alty of those v ho directed them or permitted their triinmission. One 1 f the Senators from Texai 011 thia floor repeatelly hoel tlocuuienUs and letters (It it he h id directed at his de-k here to the l,iidcnt of the Confederate Stated. Suli-cipieiit lotliis letter for more than a month persons claiming to be commissioners f rom thi new confederacy weie resit I in 1; in this capital 1111 nioiotcd and 111 cuiuuiuiiicatiuii, whether foiuial orinfoimal is inaiutei ial, with the Scciet.irv of State.

I'p to the day that Fort Sumter fell I believ ed with the President that "we were friend, not enemies." I wrote of them an i to them; I spoke of thent aiid to them, a I ever Lad; but Itcre, sir, the curtain fll; i).U w.a an act of war, atd from tlie 1 tte of the Prc.-idenl'.s proclamation we were tui.uiie, uot ia the Udü treat tea-ae of; the term. Acts which before the happening of j this event were legitimate and lawful, become tiow illegal and in some instances! treasonable. I he fchi: n.ei.t of nruv iion. the eale of all kinds of munition ol war that bad been publicly cart ed on between the North and the South, and was an ev rrv day occurrence up to this time, suddenly, ui.il "hy this act of war, and by virtue of tlie proclamation of the Pre'; lent, leoamo illegal and treasonable; and after the. occurrence of tbej-e events, 1 nhould never have felt nivtelf at lilxrtf to aildresi a letter of introduction to Mr. Davis. o mau tiputes thi.; but are you going to si? tint every mau who engaged in trade, commerce or corre-f-iidince with the South prior to this time is disloyal and guilty of treason? Are ton prepared to astrt th:a pr inciple of x post Jarto trr.riy? If so, who can rix a limit to otleoJ ers, and to what a farce do you lelucc that piüi ciple ol eicinal justice w hit h bs in all ipes of the world been the -hield and protection of the citizen? I return again to my letter, and after a short statement, w hich itll be ubäUntia 1 ly a repeti tion of what I said before the committee, wall dis mit it as tarua I can from my mind. I have not the moM ULuiit recollecticn of hav ing w ritten tithtr of these letters. 1 said so in my letter of explanation to Mr. Fitch, which has been introduced here and ciiticised w ith such severity , because of the bold avowal of opinions which 1 honestly entertained. I t-aid the fame to the committee, and I tepeat it here .to-day. So lit tle inipre-.-iun did this act of courtesy for u friend make 011 my mind, that to this hour I cannot call to mind when, where, or under what circum-tiin- ces the letter wa written, nnd I may nay the j haine ol the letter to Captain 1 rankhn. hen I saw the letter published maiked "private and con fidential," 1 said that the language of the letter was my stvle, th it Lincoln was an old friend, and that it he said I had given him such a letter it mu-t be ho; that the vvordä "private and conti dtntiai" I i-eldum put on any letter, never in a let. er ol introduction. A friend toon after wrote mc that I w a correct on that oint. Still, it has gone to the world in that lorm, and all the preju dice that such an addition to the letter would cieate, has attached, and my cnetaiea have tho benefit of it, in swelling the volume of opposition that arrays' itself against me. .Another aigument against me is that, after 1 took mv seat here, I said that I would do tho i san e thing again under the same circumstances', und deteud it here or nnvwhere else. I did say so, and 1 rcpoit it; and I meant by that just this, j that when I gave that letter to Mr. Lincoln, the j idea of w ar or of a hostile collision with any one j or more of the .Southern States never entered my mind. Il could not; I know it did not. II even a gleam of such a suspicion had entcicd my mind, every instinct of my nature wouid have deterred lue, to say nothing of those prudential cousidera tions whii if 1 trust have governed mc in all the lelatious of lite. I was uskpd by one ot the honorable commit tee whether I would hue given Puch a letter af ter the fall of Fort Sumter. I unhesitatingly an swered: "No, ?ir; 1 would have regarded the ie quest im the pail of an intelligent nun, under such t iicunist tnces, as. an insult." Mr. Pi evident, it is 01 ly since grave Senators have geen bet raved into dinifving this matter with a public examination that I could bring my self to ie.ii'e that any man who knew mo be lieved that I w as f tilhic.s-s, in any sei.se of the term, to the obligations 1 owe the (Government of which I form a part; but 1 am no longer left to conjecture on this point; I am bound to believe, from what 1 see pas-ing around me, that there are those who think lam less I0v.1l tlnui them selves; and while I laugh to scorn such an nbsurdi t v , I shall not, under the present frenr.:ed state of excitement, attempt to wre-tle with or alter those opinions, or iulluence their votes; nor will any con clusion that may tie reached here or elsewhere alter my opinion of mv self, or change the quo anini't of my heart as coupled with this trans ac tion. Cod and myself know that, nnd not sus picious, fallible in in. I have already devoted more time to thi letter than it merited at mv hand-, for no one who has observed the direction this debate ha taken believes that the letter forms any part of the reason for my i xpuNion. I wih now to call the attention of the com fry to the various phases thi case has assumco in its pio glCsS. The resolution for my expulsion wa based solely 0:1 the letter, lloth were referred to the Judiciary Committee; nnd after hearing the facts, six out of Seven members refuted against the passage of the resolution; wdicrcupon the mover of it asked to have it made a special or der; nnd then commenceil party drill, prep.ued speeches, and a cneral plan of attack on my fitness and qualifications to sit in a legislative council with such patriarch in their country's service us the Senator from Massachusetts Mr. Sumner and the Senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Clark; even the nerves of the honorable .Senator from l'enusv Ivania Mr. Wilmot au! the hot less distinguished .senator from Teniiesseo Mr. Jo'iiisoi, are allei teil hy my presence here. ..1 , " 1 .. . . 1 . . .
