Mr. SHERMAN. I have but a word to say in reply to the honorable Senfrom Maine. I do not remember to have used the word “wrangle.” He says I did and probabl I did, for no doubt he is more correct on that point than myself. I would not purposely apply that word to any deliberation of the Senate, and I hope never to have Occasion to apply that word to any deliberation of the Senate. In my judgment, the events that transpired yesterday are too fresh in the mind of every Senator not to have had some influence n on him and I think it as well to allow the in uence of those events to pass away. I do not wish now myself, nor do I wish anySeuator here, to re ly to what was said yesterday by the Presitent of the U.S. I would prefer that the Senate of the U.S., the only legislative body which can deliberate fully and freely without any limitation on the right of debate, should deliberate, reflect, and act calmly after e excitement of the events of the last 2 or 3 days has passed off. The Senator says that he is not under excitement. Probabl he is not; but the public mind is excited, an the words that are uttered in the Senate in debate this day may not be uttered with that deliberate care with which the subject ought to be dis cussed when it is taken up for final action. A little delay can do no harm, it may do good. The Senator says that no question can be so important as this. Sir, in my judgment, no question can be very important which can lead to no practical results. The true test of the importance of every measure is what good will result from it. No good will result from this discussion, and the passage of this resolution will attain no practical on that has not been already attained by previous discussions and previous resolutions. The only objection I have to the repetition of the judgment of the Senate on this question is that the proposition is brought before us under peculiar circumstances so as to deny us that me crate deliberation that ought to be given to every question brought before the Senate of the U.S. It is a part of the histor of the country that this resolution reportedin the HoRep, Ibe ieve, on the very day that the veto message was read at this desk. was passed there without debate under the feelings created by that veto message. It was passed there after scenes at great excitement.
