General PALMER spoke as follows:-Mr. President

The public voice was spoken In language not to be
misunderstood. was supposed then that every |
man who accepted the name OF republican recog- |
were hereafter not to be resisted, At least by the
members Of the republican party. There was but |

was but one way by which all the departments OF
The government could be brought In harmony. |

reasons off that failure IL is enough for me to de-
plore that result. The removal OF Andrew Johnson |
was demanded by the national safety. We may |
