It niay be that he hasnn friendship for the

it is not strange - that -.the public: should
think that the Repnblican party is a friend

is not reciprocated by Wendell, It is not
the fault or the Republican part 3. Its rep=

seat in the Senate Chamber to give a very
conspicuous and extraordinary greeting to
the disunionist ? Did not Mr. Speaker G.

Mr. 'Might,* °Undo said tbat hehopo
Mien he.einnelsere, that he ,ipigkt thin
his attention to puttin g dowtt the rebel
lion, and
tiona would tie avoided. He was not go—
ing to look`into the past to:see why Cur
tain things had been done. Ffiere was
evil enough 'in every section 4f the-count. •
try to excite litirror ; but he 'thought iti
was the duty of the politician and states
man tolook oh t he bright side.. .But, in
stead of , the Se questions; they
met him on every side. -
Vet there: were many inOsurei
important, eSPeeially,theinitillitcatien bilk
which lie regarded as one of the inest.,itn
portant measures before the Sernite,,Snd ,
calciilated to put down the rebellion. 'lie
was , opposed, to the bill, and preferred tge.
one he had offered, which' was a copy of
the.bill offered by President Lincoln when
he was a member of the House. lie pre.:
furred it for twn`things, the gradual emaii
cipation,-tind because it submitted the
question to the people of the District.
lie referred to !the bill of Benjamin
Franklin fot. the..emancipation of slavery.
in Pennsylvania which was gradual, and
he also referred to the opinione of John
Quincy Adams ' who was thvor of eman
eipatioii the District of Columbia.'
Ile quoted from tho speeches in .1837
- and 1839,,nnd said that the facts_ show
that the free blacks increased faster that;
the slaves'in,the country; and eonfended
that there were influences at work that
would accomplish tho desired object:bo
ter than- hasty Measures. Further - , he op
posed the bill, because it rejected colons
zation. ' The people of Indiana and' Illin
ois seitled this question. aqd they deter.
mined that the black people shOuld not
mingle with them. Ile_wanted his chit.
firen to groat up aniong their equals. lie
referreil to the !Mess:* of 'the Preardek
AS the first instance of the EsOmar° -at-
tempting in any way to interfere with the
States. • •
He was an -advocate of the old fashioned
State rightitnot the modern doetrine,
hut the , old doctrine, that the domestic in
t tioitions and regulations - strietly*lelong
to the State . When the Government as
sumes power infringing on State rights it.
inaugurates corruption. and' plundering, ,
and he thought the origin of the rebellion
was in the spoein of office hunting: and
corruption. Ho thought the border
States should , be consulted as to the expe
dietwy of this measure. 11A, , Khould use
all measures to_ put down the rebellion,
and let time, the great. arltitrator,Aeter.
urine the proper remedies fur these-other
questions. .
He referred to Gen
,Shermanls 'proela=
Motion and Mr. Underwood's letter in re:-
Bard to the hill as of the tants 'ingot* . the
metal. He was opposed to the army re
turning f l gitive slaves and' in -favor of
tax- bill a I confiscation bill and all other
f li
measures tO put dOwn the rebellion. The
people of big State were eminently loyal
and they - desired this rebellion put down,
and to have no itnpedifnenu put.in the
way by side issues. . He believed there
was no difficulty in living in peace in the
Union with slavery, if each State- would
only attend-to its own concerns and not
interfere with the sister States.
