Ml-. ETKERIDGE. I will. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM. If his . 'Statement of the case between the slaveholding and the non-slaveholding States of the Union be true, ought the people of the free States to humf- iate themselves by proposing any con. Stitu- tioniil amendment, or any additional legisla- tion ? Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, so per- sistant have been the misrepresentations of the leading men in all sections of the Union — " misapprenhension " is perhaps abetter term — so persistent have been these... misrepresen- tations, made even at the Noith, and under which our people are laboring, in regard to what the Republican policy is to he, that xa&ny of the people of the South seem a'raost willing — pardon the expression — " to b Keve a lie that they may be damned. " (Laughter. ) Now, sir, I will give the gentleman a specimen. Mr. VALLANDIGHAM. Ought ' e peo- ple of the free States to do anything i.. Een. Sist- ent with their self-respect? Mr. ETHERIDGE. I vrill not ask thorn to do anything which self-respect forbids.
