~ pToudcIeu discussion TOOK place on the aOOYe,
in which Messrs Trumbull,. Sumner, Stewart,
Wilson and Doolite participated. In the course Of
Mr.. DOOLITTLE said the President had not re-
moved men from Office for opinions sake. He had
been an extremely liberal Chief Ma istrate in this
respect, He had removed only to make way for men
VINO mad served in tho army. '.. ..fg ."
Mr.. HOWE asked II, his colleague would give way
to him while he read an extract from newspaper.
Mr.. DOOLlITLE said he had no confidence in the
newspapers. lie did not read them, nor believe
them. Latterly, they had so much abued his course
that he had ceased to road them. lie would not
Mr.. WILSON, in reply to question rom Mr. Doo-
little, said that in speaking Of executive abuse Of
power he had referred 70 the present Ffesdent. lie
wished merely to say that during last summer and
autumn we were told that hG was making an expert
ment in organizing rebel States. we we're told that
If he did not succeed it in the power Of Congress
70 remedy IL. WHAT was the fact nOw2. Men we're
being turned out Of Office for believing that policy
Was not right, aud the patronage Of the Executive
was being used to carry out that policy The Blairs
were travelling through the country on q voyage Of
discovery, offering kingdoms Of this world for con-
wants When the case Of Mr. St9cktbn was under
discussion, MIR. Schoheld, Of N. j., came here and
gave MS promise that man opposed To- the. fre,l'
dent would be sent here. What do We find since =
We hear of letter written 20 an officer n New Jer-
sey, by direction of the President directing him TO
turn Outcertain and fill the vacancy after con-
sultati0n with Mr.. =. Mr.. s. was strutting about
now as Il he owned New Jersey.
Mr.. HOWE said no President was ever under
greater obligations to the party that elected him than
the present executive He was made the candidate
0t n party against which he had been opposed all
his life aud ought above all other Presidents, 70 be
tolerant OF opinions differing from his own. When
the war broke out he was made = Brigadier General
for fidelity and loyalty to the Union. He was sent
~ Nashville. He (the President) has been in the
habit II saying that Nashville point Of immi-
neat peril. But sir, when we sent the President TO
Nashville we gave IL the same security we gave 10
Washington and every other point within the ma
tOnal lines. 10 was place Of peril because wide
spread detection and treason had covered tho coun-
try with PERIL But II was not peculiarly perlluus.
This nation made Nashville as secure as any point.
He ayed there and did his duty and grateful for that
duty done said to him, because Se had been faith
iul over few things we would make him ruler over
many, and we did make him Vice Pre-, ,ident of the
United States, commended 10 US, as ! said before.
by the single fact that he had been loyal in the be-
ginning Of the struggle aud had been faithful 10 one
trust we had repOsed in him as Gene al in the ar
my. IL happened that when he had been made Vice
President that terrible saster Overcame the cuuH-
try and he became President Of the United Sta'es.
The fact was then apparent that there q differ
ence Ot opinion upon some points OF policy betgeen
the President and the great body Of that power which
had been instrumental in making him President, up
on questions which we thought, which we now think,
and which now know are vital and fundamental, If
there are any vital and fundamental questions IN
national politics. lie found that hewas IN harmony
with those who bad approved his election.
Mr.. DOOLlT lLE said that his colleague (Mr.
HOwe) bad resolutions presented to the Senate un
an occasion when he tMr. D0ptuc) was alb ent-
resolutions of the Wilson's IN LegisaIure-cendemn-
ing him Mr. DOOlittlc and refe red him 10 the
lut.Ons as not addressed to the Senate, aud upon
which the Senate could take action. lie was
called upon to resign for supporting the policy Of the
President for restoration OF the Union. Was,that
not difference Of opinion? Did his colleague CHR.
Howe ind Jrse that? Mr.. DOuttlc, referring TO thu
subject OF reconstruction, said that tue spec al re-
port had abandoned negrO suffrage, and il had also
abandoned that other idea that States of the South
we're not states, bot territories.
Mr. nOOLlITLE continuing, said the position
of Mr.. DhnsOn towsrds the Republican party was
simili t. that of Lincoln towards the Same party
after he Baltimore COnvrntiOn. The Chicago Con
yentiOn cemenied the Union party in favor Of Mr..
He HlOOliftlpl pn-
tons would show maiOrlty in favor of the present
Executive. The President would not be out OF the
Union party, no matter ThO might leave II or who
might come into it, The Democratic party had been
vanqui he'd with the rebellion, aud now revered the
very principles Of the niun party in 1884. Wss the
Union party To run away from its victory? If the
President had erred at ALL it had been in being too
enient, in allowing the vest Of personal abuse from
newspapers whose editors or proprietoTs had Office
under hls administration.
Mr., CONNESS rose to n question Of order. The
debate was taking too wide range, Senators were
not combining themselves to the question before the
Senate.
MIR. WILSON was surprised that the Senator
from California chr. COnncss). who occupied more
time than any one elso in the Senate, should raise
Mr. COWAN said that Mr.. Wilson had accused
the President Of design to betray the Republican
party He (Mr. Wilson, had read the secret, OF the
executive session So far from betraying the Repnb
lican party the President to-day stands firmly upon
the platform Of the Republicans. He (Nr. Cowan)
would undertake to show that all divergence had
been made by the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr.
Wilson, and his rary, who really belonged to
the Republican party, and whom the Republican
party had been compelled to drag along with It.
Mr.. HOWE replied TO remarks of MIR. Dooittle
in relation 10 the presentation by him Of resolutions
Of the Visions Legislature. The resolutions were
sent to him, and he presented them. lie did not
express an opinion for or aganst them.
The Senate, pending consideration of the amend
ment Of MIR. TrumbulI, at o'clock adjourned.
