Mr. roxERoy ep) Of Kansas, said he had tho deepest
that smvery was the cause OF all the trouble in the
try since 1870 II was day of sacrifices, and slavery
is the last the South must make sacrifice of it, The
North was sacrificing every thing and bending under the
load Of Southern reputation to-day.
Mr. CARnE contsnded that slavery did not Of necessity
produce tho rebellion, and not justice to level

section They no right TO come to his State and say
We should not have the right of certain property which
was recognized by law
Mr. BROWNING said he meant such thing unless
the Issue forced on them by traitors
Mr. LANE asked IT, in the march Of the army there
should be an nsurrecton Of the slaves whether he would
have the army become the servants Of traitors, and
turn slaves to traitorous mastersf
Mr. CARIny replied, quoting from General Buffers pro-

TUE DEBATE RENEWED
Mr. powell spoke contendins that It was evidently the
object TO abolish slavery. He hoped the Senator from
Ohie would see il.
Mr. SIBERIAN said he was not used to such style Of
argument nobody wanted to abolish slavery unless the
issue forced them; but rather than inch of
tho country be away by traitors he would have the
slaves liberated but he dsclaned any intention Of this
kind unless the issue forced on them
Mr. POWELL said the Senator from KANSAS said slavery
would NOT survive the march Of the Union army.
Mr. LANE said he had said He believed the slaves
would march when the army did, and he not going
to make slave of himself 10 return them
Mr. POWELL rejoned, contepding that slavery not
curse and If there was an intent to destroy property
was war and robbery.
Mr.. SHERMAN offered substitute, that the purposes Of
the military establishment to preserve the Union,
defend property and maintain the constitution and
thorty of the Union.
Mr. FESssDrS (rep} Of ME- said he supposed that the
amendment offered was simply TO call out Senator'S That
