operative, and he wanted it to continue
operative. Complaint was made that such
men as General Longstreet could not come
into Ohio and purchase military goods
However loyal he or they might be, Mr.. |
E. was for debarring them from buying |
such goods during the remainder of their
lives. They ought to be thankful that their |
lives were spared. He was for retaining the
statute as part of the history of the times,
and wanted it to stand on the statute book,
and should vote against its repeal.
Mr.. STAMBAUGH said The Senate
must have forgotten that the sires of tn
same Southern men whom he now de
nounces, fought in the American rebelliol
against the British government; and tina
these same Southern men sustained til |
cause of their country in the war of ISL;
and in the war with Mexico. He must hav
forgotten that these Southern men are bon
of our bone and flesh OF our flesh. Mr.. 5
went on to demonstrate the impolicy an
folly of kicking open and causing to 5lee'
afresh. the wounds that had been intlicte
by the rebellion. He urged the necessity
mutual forgiveness, concession and harmo
ny. Instead of Union and stable govern
mont, we are to-day standing upon
volcano that may explode at any momer
and bury us all in common ruin. Mr.. s
was for repeating any law that tended t /
keep the people of the Union asunder.
Mr.. DOWDNEY apprehended that tb
repeal of the law was an act of justice
our own people. He had no doubt that tn
law was now in force. The class affecte
by it were those who had taken the test
iron-clad oath, and sought now to be re
garded as Union men. 1t was due to thei J.
| and to our own citizens that the law whic I.
prevented them from mutual dealing shout 3
be repealed. He was surprised to see, froI
the feeling manifested here, that nothin =
but dissensiOn and mischief could reSu !
| from the continuance of the law upon tn
statute book. 1t prohibited a merchai';t
who had been in rebellion, and had re q
ceived pardon, from buying or selin I
army blankets, and other goods unde :
heavy penalties, 1t was only party teelin.
that opposed the repeal. 80 ~ .,
On motion OF Mr.. BERRY, the Senat.
took a recess.
