EVENING SESSION.
Tho Senate held session this evening for the consfd
Grafton of resolutions national affairs, and Mr. Gin
SON. (rep) OF Washington iook the floor support of
the Senate resolutions and the position OF Congress
tho Freedmen's Bureau bill, arguing that the contest
between the general MT and the Southern States
is not yet ended only so far as the repression OF armed
resistance that the people st noursh much, II ALI
of that spirit OF hatred and luminosity that marked
their conduct Of the rebellion; that all they want
sion of the Frcedmen's Bureau and the with
drawal Of Union troops from their soil and that but for
the aud OF these among them the freed
men would even be in worse slavery than that in
which they existed before tho rebellion He argued
from these premises that Congress ought 10 be slow to
admit them TO the enjoyment OF all the rights and i'm
munitics OF State, and not until unquabedy loyal
and harmonious disposition was generally manifested by
their people.
Mr. AM Ews repD Of o,sero thought the time had
come when a spirit OF kindness should actuate us, not
only toward the biacks but toward the many delnded
whites Of tho South. He regretted much
Of anmosity Instead OF charity evinced towards
the whole South whenever these questions have
been before the Senate. Great concessions have
been wrung from the South. They have assenied
10 the emancipation OF four millions Of slaves
and to the Repatriation of their debt; and could the
heroes OF the North, who sacrificed their lives the
many battle fields made glorious by their struggles and
Victories be called from Their graves and told the
flag floats irumrrnny over every state, that all we
sought Mt the outset and vastly has been attained
their hosannahs would go up 70 heaven In thanks that
much has been accomplished They died for the
Union and that eleven States should be kept OF
IT, We told that all the stars are in national
banner again mined but what do they there II
OF the States they represented longer In the
Unionp Other nations will wonder what when
we talk OF restored Union with eleven OF the States
left out When you insist upon universal suffrage south
This consideration, among many others, ought
teach charity towards Southern associates.
These issues irnught with momeDtous interest
story written all over with the fact that one
lie in this without sappng the foundation OF liberty
upon which the controlling republic itself rests. II
want an ireland, Hungary, Poland at the South
can have IL. and the hsh road TO that end
the generosity OF The people TO the threatened
ger.
The resolutions made the special order for Wed.
ncsday evening, and the senate adjourned.
