Ia not the link complete2 are not the senti-
ments Of Pillsbury and Of Senator Tfumbull
precisely the same2 ia there not sufficient iden-
tity OF language and form of expression to con-
vince the most superficial observer that these
men have not only drank at the same foun-
tain, but that they have been educated In the
same school2
The gentleman from Montgomery will not
be permitted 90 repudiate Senator Trumbull.
IL will be remembered, and not only be remem-
bered, but Ii is q matter OF record upon the
journals OF this houae, that O leading member

This link being complete, now propose to
read from tho New York Tribune.
Mr.. Gunckel-We do not indorse Greeley; |
have not read hls paper for long time
Mr.. 0'Connor-I will cay to my friend from
Montgomery, that any man who is at all fsmil-
lar with the proceedings of the Chicago Con-
vention that nominated Mr. Lincoln knows,
and the gentleman himself knows, that Horace
Greeley by his indomitable efforts, defeated the
nomination In that convention of Mr.. Seward,
and secured the nomination Of Abraham Lin
coin. If tho gentleman does not know this he
should post hmself better as to the doings OF
his own party. | read from Greeley In the
Spring of 1862: "We hear from some Of the in
curable advocates OF that mental darkness In
which the word Democracy means Human
Bondage and nothing else, earnest appeals to
Republicans TO forsake their political creed and
become pro oslavery men. Do these besotted
fools expect Republicans to forget that slavery
has set on foot most wicked conspiracy against
the life of the natiOn-a conspiracy still far
from overcome or auppressed2 Do they expect
Republicans to become the friends OF the Sum
of all vllanies' when the Republic is still strug-
Cling for its very existence With that thrice-ac-
cursed institution Ii is In vain, gentlemen!
Slavery ia doomed Neither your entreaties nor
your tears can save it," Now propose to con-
nect these declarations of Horace Greeleys
with similar declarations recently made upon
the floor of Congress by the chairman OF the
committee on Ways and Means-the real brains
of the Republican Congress-, Thad. Stevens
Certainly the Republican members on this hoor
will not disown him. Hear him in the House
of Repre- ientaiives OH the 4th of January last:
"They will find that they cannot execute the
Enn atiiukinn in tho aaaadinu Stataa.
and that this war must be carried on upon prin-
ciples wholly Independent OF it. They will
come to the conclusion that the adoption OF the
measures | advocated at the outset of the war,
the arming Of the negroes, the slaves OF rebels,
is the only way 90 earth 10 which these rebels
can be exterminated." Thad. Stevens would
not conquer the rebels and restore tho seeded
States 70 the Union, under the Constitution;
but he would "eTieTminate Them" by melting
servile insurrection. Such 10 tho inevitable
conclusion from his language. But hear him
again:
"They will find that they must treat those
States now outside of the Union as conquered
provinces, and settle them with new men, and
drive the present rebels as exiles from this cnun
try. Ia order that | may have.
some credit for ssgacity, aek that gentlemen
will write this down in their memories. twill
not be two years before they will call it up, or
before they will adopt my views" Thad well
knew that the President had perverted the OBJ
jeo!a Of the war already in much less than two
years, and that before that time should elapse
he would be ready for another perversion Of
greater magnitude. But let US hear this 'brains''
OF the Republican Congress once more: 81 will
never give my consent 90 a restoration OF the
Union under the Constitution with slavery in
it." Now put Geelsy and Stevens together,
and if they do not harmonize in feeling and
sentiment do not know where you will fnd
either harmony or discord.
