Mr., Lane, defended, at great length, tie Presi- |
dent, from the charges Of usurpaton and dictatiOn
He said the President approved of the resolution
he had offered. He said: Mr.. President, am not
eonversant with theaconstituents of the senator
from Ohio as he IS, but will venture the assertion
that outside of New England there is not single |
State in the Union not one State but will by8gote
indorse the policy of Reconstruction advised by I
President johnson, and expressed in that Joint
resolution. You cannot go before the people of |
this country with a policy to give unqualified
suffrage tothe blacks. The. President has been,
and is now, III my Judgment as anxious to har
monte the difficulties of tie Union party as any
senator on sitioor. lfhewas met in the same
spirit that party would be reunited and this Union
would be restored. His advances are met by in
suit: his advances are met by denunciations from
the heads of the Republican party on this senate
floor, in language without a parallel, So far as |
am concerned, Mir. President propose to-day, /
and hereafter, totaie my position alongside of the
President of the Republican party, and stand there
defending him against the senator
from Ohio, asI defended his predecessor against
the same senator.

thar every man must bow to his opinion, ii you

stranger TO this body. We have measured him.
sir. We know his height his LENGTH his breadth,
and his capacity--all about him and you set him
up as paragon, and declare here upon the floor
of this Senate that You are going to wear his col
lar. Is that the dea--that you are going to be his
apologist and defender on whatever he may pro.
pose? Three millions of people, sir, EXPOSED to
outrages and insults and murder from these worse
than human savages, their former masters muir
dered, We are told, every day; their lives taken
away; their humanity trampled under foot: and
when Congress, under the Constitution Of the
United States, is endeaVoring to tender them some
little protection, how are we met here Every at,
tempt of your Moses tlas been to trample them
down, making them worse, and throwing every oh.
strueton in the way Of everything proposed by
Congress.
Mr.. Lane in reply--Wear a collar? Indicted

Mr.. Lane said he appealed to.Mr. Wade to with
draw the serious charge he had made against the
President. o%
Mr.. Doolittle said he had striyen to prevent
collision between Congress and the executive and
was sorry to see q disposition among some of his

unworthy of their confidence. 1t contains promo

we had undoubted confidence differ and though
crushed, the bin would be placed in charge of the
Judiciary Committee, and that committee would
frame one which would avoid the objections raised
