lions to the bill. h.-s ~ =.
MIR. Trumbull concluded by saying If
the Dill now before us, and which goes no fur
thersthan to secure civil rights to Freedmen,
cannot be passed, then the Constitutional
Amendment declaring freedom to all the in
habitants OF the land, is cheat and delu- \
sion. cannot better conclude than in the
language OF Mr.. johnson on the occasion OF
the veto OF the Homestead Bill, when, after
stating the fact that the President buchanan
was inconsistent and had changed his opinion
with reference to great measure and great
principle, but that 1t was no reason why a
Senator or Representative who had acted I'M d,
derstandlnSiy should chanSe his opinion he
said. - hope the Senate and House who
have sanctioned the bill by more than two
thirds majority, will, according to the Con-
stitution exercise their privilege and power
and let the bill become law OF the land &C
eording to the high behest OF the American
people.
The further consideration OF the subject
was postponed until tomorrow when Mr..
