Mr.. WApE--I must answer the ques-
ton in the first place with regard to the
treatment of our friends in the South
three millions of poople--I say he made
violent assault upon The Constitution, an
assault upon the power of Congress in
these repeated vetoes that are totally out
side Of any reason. Mr.. Wade continued
his animadversions upon the conduct Of
the President, alleging that his latest ad-
wiser was Mr.. Voorhees, of Indiana, who
used to keep the records of the knights Of
the Golden Circle.
Mr.. HENpRIoKs rose TO say that the
charge made by Mr.. Wade in relation TO
Mr.. Voorhees, was not true, and he wished
to give it square denial.
THE VETO MESSAGE.
The morning hour expired at this point
and the Veto Message was taken up.
Mr.. WADE continued his speech against
the Presidents policy.
Mr.. LANE rose at the conclusion Of Mr..
Wade's speech and said: The Senator
from Ohio, forgetting the position he occu-
pies, has suggested that have taken up
Cd myself the collar of the President of
the United States. | hurl the suggestion
into the teeth of the Senator from Ohio as
unworthy Senator. We wear a collar
The pro-Slavery party of the United
States backed by Democratic Admins
tration, sustained and supported by the
army Of the United States could not fasten
a collar upon the handful of which l had
the honor to be the leader. The fight the
| Senator from Ohio made in the chamber
and gallant fight he made aided by
other Senators--would have been of but
I little avail had it not been for that other
| fight upon the prairies of Kansas under
the lead of your humble speaker. Me wear
collar Indicted for treason by pro-
Slavery Grand Jury-hunted from State
to State by writ founded upon that in
dicment for treason-a hundred thousand
dollars offered for my head Jim Lane
wear collarl Laughter. Mr.. Presi-
dent, wherever he is known that charge is
denied as false by both friend and enemy.
Mr.. President, desire 10 call the attention
of the Senator from Ohio to the statement
have read from his speech yesterday.
The President of the United States is not
here to answer for himself.
Mr.. WADE-I wish he was.
Mr.. LANE again read the extract given
above, and said he appealed TO Mr.. Wade
to withdraw the serious charge he had
made against the President. Toward the
close Of his remarks he replied that he re-
ferred TO the Connecticut election. One
more victory like that, he said, would ru-
in the Republican Party. 1t was the first
scratch Of the handwriting on the WALL
He was not the defender of the Presidents
speech of the 22d of February. He be-
lieved the President was excited Qaugh-
ter) when he made it, he had been pro-
voked to it by what had been said of him
in Congress.
Mr.. DooLITTLE said he was not present
when the Civil Rights bill was passed, but
had he been here no doubt he would have
voted for the measure. Since the passage
of the bill in the Senate he had read the
very able speeches of Messrs. Bingham
and Delano of Ohio and the objections to
the bill as set forth in the veto message,
and these had caused him to give the
measure bis earnest consideration. 1t
contains propositions upon which the
abest men in whom we had undoubted
confidence, differ. He wished the bill
could be placed in charge of the Judiciary
Committee, and that committee would
frame one which would avoid the objec-
tons raised 10 it in this body in the other
House, and by the Executive. He was
DESTROYS of preserving amicable relations
between Congress and the Executive
There were three years yet Of. this admin
isration, during which the country may
live or perish. He had discovered the el-
} ements of collision before the session Of
Congress, and he had sriven and would
strive TO prevent it. He saw among his
friends disposition to act toward the
President as though the Executive were
: unworthy of their counsel. He deprecat-
ed this feeling. Gentlemen belonging to
7 the Union party denounced other of that
: party for supporting the President and hi:
policy, and they called the President a
traitor for arraying that policy. Mr.. Doc.
: little proceeded TO show the adoption Of
/, This policy step by step by Mr.. Lincoln
and his administration, its Endorsement by
: Congress- as late as March of last year
: the reiteralion Of this policy by Mr.. Lin.
