Such events and such proceeding as
now detaIns the Senate, tell the honorable
Senator will not tend to dispel the impress
sion that there does exist such cabal
The proceeding before us wears an ugly
look the business of turning accuser OF
the Government, and charging breach OF
neutrality touching Germany at this time
has an ugly look. ltis not giving inforula
tiou to the enemy in time of war, but there
is sort of family resemblance tetween
the two things which will lead a great many
people into serious thought A great many
people will think of it as the man thought
of his horses when he said, "One looks so
much like both, that l cannot te the other
from which," aughter.1
But, MIR. President, am able to assure
the Senator, and | hope the assurance will
give him pleasure, that the people in no
portion of the country, as far as l can
learn, are being misled by these proceed

too much to do with preserving our patton
ality when it rocked in the throes of an
earthquake to be willing so soon to hand
the country over again to the party which
once welnigh ruined it. The Germans
know that it was Democratic Admins
trstion which prostrated our credit; which
stripped our northern arsenals of arms and
sent them to be ready for traitors in the
South; which banished our Navy to distant
seas and sought to bind the Government

mus der it in its bed The Germans know
that Democratic Administration did all
this and more, aud that the Democratic
party before, and during the war, and
since the war, has been hostile to liberty.

Napoleon said Europe would oe repub

other men of sense know this; they know
that third party movements and Republican
