Mr. WINDOW said that the real issue between Congress
and the Rebels vas Shall traitors rule the nation they
fought four years To Destroy II was not question
whether the south shall be represented for all agreed maj
est moment possible consistent with public safety But
the question was: shall her representatives be admitted
here M once without the imposition OF any conditions
whateycr The President and his supporters INSIST upon
immediate and unconditional admission without any pro-
lection to the Freedmen to whom the faith OF the Govern
has been pledged without change IN the basis 81
representation whereby the gross inequality OF making
the vote of Southern Rebel equal 10 the votes OF two
Northern soldiers shall be rcmeded without any disiran
chsemcnt OF leading penrcd and dangerous traitors and
without any prohibitions against the assumption and pay
| meut Of the Rebel debt or of Rebel claims for
loss OF slaves The Union party demanded mat
the pliehted faith of the nation to the hum
! bic freedmen shall be maintained; that the basis
of representation shall be made just and equitable
that prominent traitors who have support
the Constitution of the United States and violated their
oaths shall not be allowed to make or execute laws for
loyal men; that the National debt shall be repu
dated and that the National obligations 10 pay bountes
and pensions soldiers and sailors and their widows and
orphans shall not be questioned that the Rebel debt shall
never be assumed paid by the Federal State Govern

firm foundations of the Republic where neither treason
rebellion shall reach them and that these shall be
made condition precedent to the full restoration OF the
Rebel States. Mr.. Window proceeded to argue from
these premises in support Of the bill He concluded by
saying that the power of this nation yet in the hands OF

would he stand IN practice whenever occasion might re-
quire lie declared himself an old line Democrat be
evng in the doctrine Of secession, believing that the
several States Of the Union have right 10 separate from IT,
each acting for itself He declared his belief that abuses
and usurpaion had been practced and threatened to
great extent by their associates and partners IN this
governmental compact, that the Southern States were
Justified in going out and his further belief that by their
ordinances OF Secession they did go out and thereby be-
came TO this Union foreign States These convictions he
coud not change and he did not expect they would ever be
removed lie would most assrcd proclaim them and stand
bv Them as long as single citizen of the Confederate
