SENATOR TRUMBULL,
Of Ill. in the early part of The present session OF
Congress, is thus reported to have spoken.
Mr.. Trumbull quoted tho language of jefferson,
there is nothing more certainly written in the
Book Of Fate than that races should be free. l.
would be seen, then, that the idea was not new. 1t
had its origin in Virginia years ago, and the idea

SENATOR WADE,
OF Ohio, in a speech Of March 7th, gave the fol-
lowing conclusion.

Tins Of deep rooted prejudice, go deep as to make
it apparent the two races could not inhahit the

drive them out. lie thought this Government ow-

means whereby this unfortunate class might en-
