yesterday
Mr.. Cowan asked why he (Mr. Trumbulll
did not quote what the President said of the
reason for passing those laws.
Mr. fTumbull.--l read il. Did not the Sena-
tor hear me! Because they were coatuma-
clousIy engaged in the rebellion" He further
debated the status of the rebel States, holding
that for national purposes they were in the
Union, but for State purposes, were not,
having no organization in accord with the
Union.
Mr.. Cowan.-what would you do with rebels
if they submit!
Mr.. Trumbull.-Ifbi big retels, would hang
them. GApplause in the galleries.)

let the vote be taken, and let the speech of Mr.
Trumbull and the message Of the President go
10 the country together.

sustaining the veto, not because he endorsed
all the sentiments OF the Presidents message.

the bill while it contained a provision to ex-
pend money for lands for freedmen.
