Hon. Andrew johnson made most
powerful speech in favor Of expolling Mr.
Bright. The condensed report of the clos
ing passage is as follows:
Mr.. ohnson then referred to the speech
of the Senator from Delaware (Saulsbury),
and contended at some length that the
south was entirely respohsible for the war,
and that the north gave all the compro-
mise that was necessary, but that the
southern traitors would not accept it. If
the Senator had hot moral, physical, and
political courage enough to expel those
who are unsafe Repositories of tlie public
trust and power, then they were not fit to
remain here themselves. he CJohpsonl
did not say these things in any spirit Of
unkinduess, but for the sake of c6nstitu-
ttonal liberty, and for the sake of his own
wife aud children. By the failnre Of the
government to enforce the laws, his wife
and children had been turnd into the street,
and his house turned into sbarrGcic. He
had two Isons-in-law-one was in prison,
and the other was in the mountains, to
evade the tyranny of the hell-born and
hell-bound spirit of disunion. Yet when
cries come up that the laws may be en-
forced, the Senator says, Il am opposed TO
the whole coerciye potteytof the govern
ment. The only way to settle the qdes=
tion now. before the government is not
compromiser but 70 crush ont the leaders
otthe rebellion. We have got to show
pluck, and have got to tight, He desired
peace bat the only way to get It was to
sacrifice blood and treasure. Then let rs
crush out the rebellion, and look forward
TO the time when we shall rai8s che glori-
Gus old flag beneath the cross, and gather
around with the cry OF The Upion, one
tapd ipseparable, now and forever Christ
ttsti p9r country next. 2
1t will be.obseryed That ,Mr. johnson
differs entirely from those northern men
who hold that the war Is due TO the nm.
