broke out. III is the announcement back ed

The wish was father to the thought

that it is SO with Northern sylnpathizers !?

HOUSE.
Noel, of Missouri, from the Select
Committee on emancipation, reported a
bill to aid Missouri in securing the adolf
ton of slavery therein. 1t provides for
the issue of ten million thirty year
bonds, payable to loyal owners. The
Government pledging itself to the deport-
alton and colonization of the freed men.
vallandigham objected to the consider
alton of the bill, for reasons stated, but
the speaker overruled the objection He
made his decision in accordance with that
potion offered to the French Spoiation
bill
Clements, of Tennessee was not aware
that this bill would be reported, and, as u
member of the Special Committee on
Emancipation, he objected to it last SEES.
sion.
1t was proposed to appropriate $3.50
O00, 200 to aid in the abolition OF slavery
in Kentu cky, Western Virginia, Mary
land, Mis- suuri and Delaware. This was
on larger base, whereas this bill is of a
secondary baraetcr, referring, MS it did, to
only one Stale.
Wickliilc, Of Kentucky, said that some
time after the issue of the proclamation
information had been received by the
President, from whole souled Union men,
which satisfied him that great and pow
erful change ha taken place in Kentucky,
in favor of this miserable abolition scheme.
He felt it to be his duty 10 state on this
floor in the face of Heaven and the pres
ence of Congress and in the hearing of
the nation. that there was not one man in
800, in Kentucky, who was in favor of
the proclamation
Noel said tn people of Missouri had
said that they would abolish slavery. In
reply to Clements he remarked that the
people of Tenne'se had no regular State
Government and could not act upon and
sustain such a proposition. 1t was X,
pecting too much to hang all the other
border slave States upon this bill. Com
mence the work with Missouri and when
the proper time shall arrive, the benefits
might be extended to other States.

table. Disagreed to- against 73.
