n.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
To-day was devoted to speech making.
Mr. Cook, of Illinois, argued that the power of re-
c0gnizing the seeding States in the Union, rests
with Congress. When the military power can safely
be withdrawn, and these States remain peaceably in
the Union of their own accord and not by force and
the Union men and freedmen do not require mill
tary force to protect them, the civil government
should be recognized, but no military power could
set aside the enactmens and judicial decisions of
States fully in the Union: While these acts were
necessary, the States should not be recognized.
Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, maintained that the or
dinances of secession were void; that no State was
ever out of the Union, but that all lawful State Gov
the rebel Governments were overthrown the people
were left without any State Government; that is
the duty Of Congress to guarantee it, and until this
Is done there can be lawful State Government and
no representatives in Congress.

From Wisconsin.

MADISON, Feb 16.-In the Legislature to-day, the
Committee on Federal Relations reported ser es of
resolutions declaring that the safety of the Govern
ment depends upon adhesion to the cardinal prn-
ciple that all men created free and equal, and
while rejoicing the restoration of the Union we
earnestly protest against policy of DEMONSTRATION
which disregards these vital principles and admits
the enemies of the Government to participate in its
administration.
The course pursued By the Southern States since
the close of the to Northern men. the persecu-
ton of cOlored men, the election of former active
rebel leaders to official position, evidences that
it is unsafe to trust them with the destue5 of the
nation.
The welfare Of the loyal people of these States
urges upon Congress the duty of establishing pro-
visional governments until the Sc .hCTl9e d.
monstrate their fitness to resume tf:lr admins
tTation.
The safety of the Government demands adequate
punishment of treason, in bringing to trial and pun
ishment the rebel leaders.
The resolutions commend President johnson s
course at the outset of his Administration as an ev
dence of his devotion to the cardinal principles Of
our Government, and pedging him support as fer as
he faithfully executes the trust committed to him
These considered tho unanimous voice of a
majority of the members of the Legislature, and
will probably be passed at an early day.
