howl for "Constitution as it was' when
Ever they see any tendency to harm the

Thus the Peace Congress was ready to
make any concession, and introduce any
enorm1ty into the Constitution in behalf of
the rebels. The passion has again seized
them. The Kentucky Senator's list

move the choice Of the President from the
