E e5io 1ndorsed the words OF
President, lincoln, VIZ: i elavety Is not wrong,
ihen nothing is wrong. The proposition whether
this universal wrong should Dc abolished was
now before the House. II slavery had never been
known in tho country and anember should intru-
duce measure to enslaye any portion Of the peo-
ae esva "a as
gould receive single vote In this House, yetIt was
known that votes had been cast here to keep in

The trainers OF the Constitution were men not
guilty Of making an instrument which could be
md happiness II for Tie last t6lrtJ years statd.:
men had ruled the country, If they had been men
rho had not defended, and madd concessions to,
slavery, this wur would not have Fctn1ted. He mr.
gued that Congress bad constitutional right 10
make the amendment, and be: anticipated the
most faEo{alfo r1snlts from such legielation..
ME. ORTIZ, Of ind, spoke Of the duty and les-
tiny Of the American people. The feeling exhib-
lied throughout our struggle and the recent cleo
ton proves our ability and Willingness to save
the milton. The rebellion must be subdoed With
out regard to cost sncriace. T9la VIE the duty.
Slavery, the cause OF all our troubles, is dying
ont. We must by an amendment, provide against
In future existence. In the reconstruction OF tho
Government great care must be exercised. No
State must be rcadmitte1 into the Union until !
i, is thoroughly purgcd Of Its treason,
and able to eastain the civil authority
and free institutions The iutcfueddting OF France
and England dclnands our serious attention. Those
nations will b. held to an account f0r their con-
duct. and the Monroe doctrine enforced, even at
the hazard Of a war. Those duties discharged,
our destiny Is fixed, and in the process Of time our
Government will he the only power recognized on
the continent Of North America.
Mr. SC0F1ELD, OF Pa, advocated the amend
ent saying that the people In the recent election
had decided in favor Of Ecncsal emancipation of
the s!nycs. Mr.. S. made IN attauk On the people
