expediency of suspendng diplomatic relations with Aus

forced the resolution by speech OF SURPRISING power and
Interest," and that the grounds upon which he
mended the suspension Of diplomatic intercourse with
Austria were the oppression and barbarty OF Austria
the recent wars with Hungary. | listened with very
great interest," and with deep attention. to the speech of
senator in which he portrayed his accusations against
that power But was not prepared and am not yet
prepared to think the suspension of foreign relations with
Austria the proper form OF giving expression the
tment which is expressed by the senator and in which
cordially sympalhize, and in which, doubt not every
member of the Senate sympathizes with him. Ii was
under those circumstances that submitted the resolu-
ton to the Senate, in which have expressed this sent
