Mr. SAULSBURY. Mr. President, the honorable Senator has beer: so kind as to a peal to me. Allow me to say that he remin s me very much of all young converts. Sir, did you ever attend a Methodist meeting, especiall a Methodist class meeting? I speak in to disparagement of the Methodists, because I believe them to be among the best people on earth; but in a class meeting you tin that after the old grey headed fathers and mothers have told their experience some of the young converts get up and begin to tell what great things have been done for them; and the old fathers and mothers in Israel look upon the young converts very approvingly. They obey the scriptural injunction, “ He shall gather the lambs with his arm and carry them in his bosom.” Now, the old political members of the Republican party, I have no doubt, have been very much amused at our young convert from the Breckinridge Democracy. If I understand his political record aright I do not say it offensively, but I say it as a matter of history the Democratic party with which he finds so much fault today was to him a glorious, magnificent, patriotic party even when its standard was borne aloft by John C. Breck inridge. And yet the honorable Senatgr rises here today as though he were one of the fathers in your political Israel, and he descants upon the errors, the folly, and the want of patriotism of the Democrats. A stranger might have so posed that he was one of the fathers in the fiepublican camp. I think the honorable Senator is growing in political grace very fast, and he reminds me very much of the experience of the man that I once heard of, given in class meeting, and I have no doubt that after awhile he will become equal to some of your older men in the Republican party'who can say now what that member of the church said, and he is trying to get people to see the same thing. He said that when he was 1st converted and joined the church he could not do any little thing that was wrong that conscience did not prick him for it, but now, thank his God! he had so grown in grace that he could do anything whatever and conscience never troubled him at all about it. [Laughten] I think the Senator has arrived almost to that state of perfection.
