President Lincoln and Andrew Johns
son, until they are prove to me TO be
abjured. at the election in February
. nd March there were a certain num-
Der of rebels who voted, and take the
|, list Of rebels away who voted for you
and me, you would lack the number
demanded in Mr. Lincoln's proclama-
ton. Should he declare the guilt of
those who came up and voted for rati-
fcation, and supported the present
Governor of Tennessee should he dis
franchise them He never would, and
as the Senator from Davidson very
properly asked, where will you draw
the line In his Senatorial District
there was q large vote cast for the rati-
ficatiou of the amended constitution,
and three-fourths of the voters had
been linked up to the heels in the re-
belliop. He told them that if the
amended constitution was adopted that
it would become the law of the land
and slavery was abolished, and that
if he was elected he would vote for the
amended constitution of the United
States, and they came up like patriots
and sacrificed all their former princi-
| Piles and their negroes.
Mr.. Rogers asked how it would BE
in the fall
Mr.. Frazer could not tell, and that
was why he did not know that one side
wouldswallow up the other, and he
wanted to know who would rule in this
State unless the future would settle
the question.
/ Mr. Trimble did not propose to dis
cuss the merits of the question, but
wished to know if the resolution would
help US along or expedite the business.
The great end we all have is to have
the governing of Tennessee in loyal
hands, and to make it free loyal
State of the United States. That this
resolution proposed to take the sense
Of the Senate on the 9th section of the
amended constitution. He could not
see the use of it, as they had the bill
now under the joint Judiciary Commit
tees consideration, and the anxiety OF
the Senate embarrassed the members
of the committee
Mr.. Trimble moved that 1t be laid
over informally, which motion pre-
vailed.
