Recollcct, Fessenden authOritatively
states he speaks the sentiments Of the
PRESIDENT Again, in the same debate,
Mr.. Bingham, Republican member from
Ohio, and Chairman Of the Judiciary
Committee, in the House, said:
"1f the gentleman annexes no condition n
his loyalty then his remarks about the use Of
this revenue and the divine civilizer II Africa,
and retaining the cotton States with their
slaves and slavery untouched in the Union,
were simply meaningless, and ought not to
have been uttered. He said, it you allow, I'M
| der any condition, the cnttOn States TO depart
from this Union, then Kentucky would not stay
in the Union; and annexed the condition that
you must not, in the great effort to retain the
cotton States, touch slavery. Who, IN the

Dahomey, shall continue. and be upheld BY the
whole power Of the Government"
At the beginning of the present session,
Mr.. Conway, jim Lanes colleague, Re-
publican member from Kansas, declared
in speech:

Had this declaration come from Dem.
ocrat, instead Of Republican, the speak
er would have been denounced, from one
end of the land to the other, as y " seceS,
sionist and traitor; but being Repub-
lican, he can say what he pleases and
vote as he pleases-supPort or oppose the
Administration for or against sup
plies to the ar'ny-labor for the prrserva'
ton or for the dissolution of the Union -
yet not word Of censure, not syllable
of denunciation is heard from the Repub.

But We have another witneSs-one who
stands high in the confidence Of the Ad.
ministration, and who, but short time
since, received prominent appointment
at the hands Of the President-Carl
Schurz, late minister to Spain. He deliv.
cred speech at the late Radical Republi-
can meeting at Cooper Institute, New
York, in which he said:
"There we're men in the North aud South

Here, then, we have the evidence Of
four leading Republicans as to the ulti-
mate de. igns Of the controlling wing oI
the Republican party, at the head Of
