of States to send agents to States IN rebellion 10 recruit
and fill up quotas.
Mr. SAULsBURY would like the Senator from Massa
chusetts TO answer question. He Salisbury had
seen stated IN the papers that immediately tcr tc
faIl Of Savannah Massachusetts had agents there 70
al the quota Of that State No authority Lad been given
70 do this but after the slaves had been put on ship
board. Gov. Andrew had made an application to the
President for permission to enlist these men, and IT nad
been granted. lie (Saulsbury) was opposed 10 TINS,
while the young white Of bis state Delaware) had
70 respond In person 10 all the drafts
Mr. WILSON replied that he did not know about this
special case, bu. he knew that Gov Andrew was all
earnest and determined man. aud wac IN favor OF enlist
ing black men. If the agents Of Massachusetts were
not first on the ground they must have Travelled slower
than other agents after they started.
Mr. GRIMES hoped the amendment would pass He
was opposed to permitting State agents to go to the
Rebel States. III black men wanted 10 enlist they
should enlist in the United States service and not under
the auspices Of such Governor Andrew sent to
Savannah.
Mr. WILSON in reply to Mr. Salisbury said that Mas
sacuseets had furnished up to the I'D Of December
