gems of the South should protect themselves IL
they could. but would not COZ sent that any
thing should rass which would lnitr that inc
armies Of the North should be obliged To pro,
tect them. Some OF those states too had passed
laws which were not a~greeabie to their loya!
citizens. and we ought not to compel them 10
endorse those attachments.
Mr.. WouJyard hoped we should not vote on
this amendment, hut should Introduce some
modification which viii be acceptable to all tfc
Senators.

Powers rather anon. lous he did not appreciate
the idga that they must sus eject loyal c!t1ens 10
the laws Of rebellion.
Mr.. Woodward moved the resolutions be or
tercd to lie disagreed to.

Laws. Until we are prepared for the extreme
right OF rebellion, we must continue to rever'

large majority Of the Scna'c were dsepIy Offend
cd &c the removal Of Gen. Fremont, but that
would eve them no excuse to urge upon the

MIR. Wheeler, as a general thing, thought
the Constitution ought to be supported, though
it Judges o! the Supreme Cours could say that
white meu had lights not arsainable by black,
they could be devils as vel as Judges
MIR. Hubbard thought the amendment Of Mr..
" lizard compelled him to acknowledge and up
hold Certain enactlncnSs which he anu every one
else knew to be- wrong. Why abolish the Fu-
gilive Slave Law? 1t it is right sustain it. 1t
