Of West Virginia certain lands and tenementi at
Harpers Ferry belonging to the United States.
Mr.. Chandler offered resolution, which was
adopted calling for whatever information the Pres-
dent may have received touching the violation Of
neutrality laws by the army occupying the right
bank Of the Rio Grande.

in support of President Johnsons heme of restora-
ton showing that the latter only following out
the principles of President Lincoln, which were en-
dorsed by every member Of the latter's cabinet. He
alluded to Senator Summers way for States to go
out of the Union namely, by act of Congress, and
argued to the contrary, asserting that State is
not destroyed by war unless conquered by for
eign power, or dismembered by revolution, and made
into two or more States. To be invaded does not
destroy it if it expel the invader. To be torn by
civil war and even if drenched in fraternal blood
does not destroy either unless the general issue of
arms shall be againstt If the terms offered by Pres
dent Johnson have been accepted by the Southern
States in good faith the faith ofthe nation pledged
to them just as much as by the terms contained in
the surrender of their armies. He would admit as
Representatives all who could take the prescribed
oath, as all know the most justfabe of all causes
for rebellion or revolution is to tax and govern
people without representation. At the conclusion Of
Mr. DOOlittles speech the Senate adjourned.
