n ee CHARACTER UNITED STATES SENATE
II may be necessary TO explain to you in Europe that
that the United States Senate is practically the govern
ing branch OF this republic, and that the pro slavery
politicians control the by being masters Of tho
Senate The President does it is true his Cabinet
and he does I'LL up many vacant posts, and likewise he
makes treaties with foreign Powers; but the Senate,
which raties rejects those appointments and those
treaties is practically the Office distributing and treaty
making power. The inquiries by that body respecting
each candidate for an appointment notIs he good
citizen Is he fit for the placer IL he honesS Is he
talented Is he likely do credit and good service to tho
country Has he done the nation any servce2 The
only consideration worth fahoming by tho Senate is-
Show is he slavery2 You may by counting the six.
teen nonsavehoding States and the fifteen slaveholdng
States, be msed into the belief that the sixteen viii out
the fifteen on the slavery ISSUE So they could they
would but they won't, nor WILL for faster than
the slavcrycs (cach member six years) can
be replaced by antsaverytes in the Northern States
lrcsh prosavery Senators will be added by the admission
Of States The Southern members ght for each other
like hornets whenever slavery is the subject in dispute
they are true 70 the bad cause which they represent

Northern members do not hold together-ne democrats
vote pro slavery and the republicans do for the
extinction Of the evil but merely against its extension
territory now free. And moreover, the North,

Is not merely weakened by being thus disunted on the
question Of slavery but the republicans or frcesoers
further erieebed by not being able rely upon each
other.
