No Conaiet betWeen the President and
the Men who Elected him, A. yet
The following passage is from a
speech made few days ago in the
United States Senate by Hon. Henry
Wilson. We commend it to the atten-
ton of those exceedingly hopeful peo-
pie of the Democratic persuasion who
are eagerly looking forward to con-
dict between the President and the
representative men of the country who
nominated and elected him, and who
have thus far sustained him:
know there has been a studied and
systematic attempt, during the last few
months, TO separate the President OF the
United States from the great party that
elected him. / am among those who
have never entertained any such fears,
and, II there are any persons who do
entertain them, advise them to dismiss
such fears at once. The President is
bound to the men who elected him, by
honor, by principle, and by interest.
His fnme is to rest upon the great fact
that he shall complete the work Abra-
ham Lincoln commemorative work of
restoring the broken Union, enfran-
chising n race, and preserving the cause
of human liberty in America. / am
sure that the President of the United
States is as conscious as any man liv-

with posterity, depend upon his NOV
ing right straight forward and onward
to the restoration of the Union, and to
the security OF the liberties of all men,
and the security of equal, univer-
sal and impartial liberty. He found
the rebel States, on the 18th of April,
when he assumed Executive power,
broken, shivered, conquered, subjuga-
ted. No people, since the morning of
creation, ever fought "a Drawer battle
than our rebel cOuntTymen, and no
men Were ever so defeated, so subjuga-
ted, so Onquered-cOnquered in the
field, their ideas unnihilated forever,
their power broken, and their fortunes
lost No men have been so conquered
and so punished; and, sir, have it not
in my heart TO seek their lives or their
blood.
believe it to be the sentiment and
Will of the country that we should de-
mund the amplest guarantees for the
future; that III demanding those guar
antees we should say nothing and do
nothing to humiliate or degrade any
body. ] believe that it is in our power
by firm and inflexible adherence to
/ principle to secure all the guarantees
that the patriotic and liberty-loving
men of the country require. / believe
the President Of the United States has

/ things, but he has done nothing to pre-
I vent the Congress of the United States
/ from moving right straight forward
and onward i'll the adoption of the ne
cessnry legislation to complete the
great work OF unity and liberty. He
has made no issue with him. He does
not undertake to dictate to us, he has
/ pursued his own line of policy. And
I we ought to follow the convictions of
I duty; if we believe tbnt we should go

the needed Legislation; if then the

rebel States into Congress, 1t will re-
ceive the sanction and approval of the
Executive.
| 1 know, sir, that it has been, and is.
! the policy of the Democratic party to
represent that a great and inevitable
conflict is to come between the Presi-
| dent and Congress. II was so repre-
I scented before the country last AUTUMN,
/ We met IL then; met il in the West; met
1t in New jersey; met it in Pennsylva-
mia; met it in the great State of New

loyal States of the country, twenty
three are in harmony with us OF the
Republican party upon this floor; our
sentiments and our opinions ARE more
strongly sustained today than thew
have been on my other day that the sun
ever shone upon, and will he stronger
tomorrow. There arc some men who
profess TO be more devoted to the Presi-
dent than the great mass of the people

the President IA manly, generous and
earnest suppOrt-I am sure he wants
! none other.
