Emperor then referred to the Senatus

said he had proposed with the purpose
OF iuaugurating new era of Cancellation

Chambers to aid him in carrying out the
plan. He proceeded to ennmerate mu-

nonnced the situation OF the country

ton of Congress. before the war, to
have given the South Pacific Railroad;
but the rebellion intervened. and now
that the country was az homogeneous as
it had been discordant, the intention

not get it now, let it again and again

dorsed what the gentleman from New
York had said of the feeling ut the North
towards the South. Mr.. Kirkland. of
