These resolutions we're placed upon our
desks, and they have been reviewed bT the
Senators who have had ,he courage 10 in.
pose upon themselves s. task so well cal-
eolated to tax their powers OF endurance.
Having reasonable degree of confidence
IN NY own powers OF endurance entered
upon the task Of reading them. At the
President and tia Cabinet, the majority il
these Chambers, the laws of Congress, the
proclamation aud orders of the Command
es-in chief Of our Army s1d NAVY, and at
all who were clothed with the authority to
administer TO the government l CROPPED
through the mass Of viIsperAtion and ac-
cusations with mingled emotions of indig.
nation and pity. IL this farrago of spleen
and malice the Chief Magistrate and his
supporters have been ArTziEuei and de-
rided. The heroes OF Gettysburg, Vicks-
burg, Port Hudson aud Chattanooga, and
fields made immortal By their endurance
and the TaIor of the heroes who rescued
even tie hesrthstones Of that Senator from
rebel Dissertation, are branded as subgi-
dized armies, and the men who st Port
Hudson, MiIlike0's Bend and Fort Wsg-
nerI fought with heroic valor, a-e stigmz-
tied as negro jsuizsries. After hurIiug
bis accusations 81 the President and his
