SENATOR WILLIAMS, of Oregon, formerly
of this place, is doing honor to himself and =
loyal constituency by his bold stand in defense
OF Freedom and the Union. He made an
able speech in the Senate the other day in
support of the authority of Congress over the
matter of reconstruction. Elected Union
democrat his faithfulness at atime when even
some few Republicans like RAYMOND have
deserted their colors, entities him to the
thanks Of loyal men everywhere. We make
but one extract. GUTHRIE, of Kentucky had
said that the enactment of the Freedmen s
Bill would be dissolution Of the Union. 1t
Is the old croak Of pro-slavery conservatives
to frighten the friends offreedom from action
when the slave oligarchy clustered. To him
Senator WILLIAMS replied;
Sir, it is vain to talk a 5out dissolution of
the Union. Let the man who dares, strike a
blow at the integrity of the Union, and ten
hundred thousand war-worn veterans, fresh
from their fields of fame and glory. would
spring to It's defense. Sir. one blast upon
the bugle horn of Grant, or Sherman, or
Sheridan. would make every traitor in this
land tnrn pale and tremble. [Applause in
the galleries. Sir, this nation Is to live and
not die. God has written it among the shi-
ming DEGREES Of destiny. Inspired by this
hope and animated BY this faith, we will take
this country through all its present troubles
and perils to the promised land of perfect
unity and peace, where freedom. equality, and
justice, the triune and tubular deity of the
American Republic, will rule with righteous
ness nation 'whose walls shall be salvation
and whose gates praise.
