CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr.. Lane, of Kansas, in advocating the rPso-
luton introduced by him for the admission of
the States lately in rebellion, said, This do
know, that the Republican party, OF which
am 4 member, Is crumbling 10 pieces, and that
every day we postpone the admission of these
States insures the destruction of that party;
aud know that the adoption OF such resolu-
tons would bring the Republican party and
the President together in harmony; u did seem
that some members o. this body were disposed
TO harmonic with the President propose to
go very far 70 secure that harmony. Yesterday
we were met by one OF the most yindIctive as
saults that has ever been made upon any Of
f~.al, from friend or opponent, by the Senator
from OHIO, Mr.. Wade,l charging the Prpsi-
dent, a personal friend who have learned to
respect and admire for his pluck and his ability,
and 10 love Tor has manly yirtue-a man whom
/ believe 1 nominated for the second office
within the gift OF the people: whose election /
did my utmost TO secure against the efforts OF
the Senator from Ohio; and / will defend him
now against similar assault made by the same
Senator yesterday as defended the la:e Pres
ldent from assault by the same Senator 4
despot and traitor! In what! In seeking to
reconstruct the Union in spite of the Congress
of the United Statesl When Mr. johnson took
hts seat, Mr.. Lincoln had marked out policy.
He adopted il, and the people of the Union. the
party 10 which he and ] belonged. have en-
dorsed II by triumphant maiorites purpose
10 sustain the President to-day and hereafter
against all assaults of the character TO which
/ have alluded"
Mr.. Wade in his reply, said 80 Now for my
attack on the President of the United States
AS Il senator on THIS HOOr, / care more fUT
his opinion than do for that Of any Senator
here. Who is your President that we must all
bow TO him! He is no stranger TO us We
know his length. and breadth. and depth, and
he Is TO be set up here as paragon, and we
are to wear his collar. Is that what the Sem
| ator meansl don't think his constituents in
Kansas would approve of that. Did l make
an attack on the President yesterday L stand
| by II to-day. What did the President say to
the secession rabble who gathered around MIN
| on the 22d OF February, and why did he hurl
anathemas on the majority of Congress Had
| Congress made any attack on him -
| Mr.. LanP.-Did not the Senator from Massa-
chusetts (Mr. Sumner) attack the President
| ana stignlatze his message rs a whitewashiny
message before that time Had not a gentle
man from the other House, previous 10 that
| time, saId if the President had lived in Eng
| land be would have been hanged
| Mr. Wade.-Does the Senator say that was
| any excuse for his attack OF no!
| In the course OF his remarks, Mr. Wade al
| luded to Mr. voorhees, as supporter of the
| President. and said that Mr.. VOORHEES, was a
member OF the Golden Circle.
| Mr.. Hendricks-Mr. President, that charge
against Mr.. voorhees, has never been sus-
\ tanned, and now give il a fair and fiat denial
| The Chair stated that the morning hour
having expired, the regular order of the day
the civil rights bill-was now before the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Wade continued. The Executive was
| an accidental President and yet we were all to
| bow the knee TO him.
| hr. Lane said he had expressed his inten-
| ton OF upholdlng and supporting the Presi-
| dent so long as he stood by the principles of
| the Constitution, and for this the Senator from
| OHIO said he (Mr. L. wore a collar. That in
| sinuation was unworthy of any Senator, ard
| he flung ii back in the teeth of the Senator
| from Ohio. Me wear a collar, who fought as
| did against pro-slavery executive and a
| made by the Senator from Ohio here would
| have been of no account if il had not been for
| the fight made under my lead for the plains of
| Kansas. Indicted by pro-slavery Jury for
| treason, and SlOO.O0O offered for nv head Jim
| Lane wear collar, sir! The charge, where
| ever il is made. Will be denounced as false BY
| both friend and foe.
Mr.. Lane then continued in advocacy OF the
| resolutions offered by him, and expressed the
opinion that they would meet the approval OF
| the President.
Mr.. DoolittIp, Salisbury. and Others, spoke
in opposition TO the passage OF the bill over the
| veto.

| bill pass, the Presidents objections 10 tho cou-

When MI Morgan's name was called and he
voted aye, storm of applause rose from por-
ton of the galleries, and many on the floor
shook him warmly by the hand.

the requisite constitutional majority of two
