Consideration was resumed OF the legiI

Mr.. Window addressed the Senate !
show that the policy Of the Democrats
revolutionary and unconstitutional. H
said II the wiser men Of the party coul
have prevailed the party would have beef
saved from much trouble; but King eau
Gus issued his decree that there should b
no stragglers from the lines.
ALWAYS INTENDED 10 coRRcE THE PRESIDENT
Mr.. Window read, from the remarks o
Mr.. Beck TO show that the Democrat
meant TO coerce the President and salt
that the programme was sustained by Mr.
Thurman, whom Mn Window designatet
the Cesar OF the caucus. Mr.. Windon
said that towards the close OF the session
he said 10 one of the prominent confrere,
OF the House: II do not understand whI
the House should defeat the appropria
ton bills aud thus force an extra session
OF Congress, as no Congressional elections
will be held until alter the next session o
Congress" The reply was: "Ii we pas
these bills the government would have
money until July, 1850, and would ther
manage 10 get along until the elections IL
November, but II we let the bills fail th,
government would have money only unit
the SOth Of June, 1879. The government
might get along for four months, but eoulC
not for sixteen months"
Mr.. Window said the Democrats were
afraid that four months would not brinI
the President TO terms, and therefore they
agreed on sixteen months Of strife for tha
purpose.
Mr. Morgan-If the Senator has no OBJ
jections will he give the name OF the gen
tleman he has quoted2
Mr.. Windom-1 will give the name Il
the Senator.
Mr.. Morgan-1 would not ask for the
name II the conversation was a private
one.
Mr.. Windom-The conversation tool
place in the committee room, and the gen
tleman was Chairman Of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations, (Atkins.
AwELL LAID PLAN.
The Democrats did not propose any,
thing for the relief Of the country, and Il
promote its prosperity no State conven'
tions, no citizens by petition had asked
for such legislation as they proposed
They ignored all great issues and inaug
urated revolutionary measures to accom-
plish their revolutionary purpose TO de
nationalize this nation, and convert II int
mere coniederacy OF States, and to re
cover the power which they have lost by
four years OF war. The assertion and ad
vocacy OF State sovereignty was the bold
est form in which the design was present
ed for the destruction OF fair elections
The Democrats in the South had by fraud
and violence prevented the Republicans
from expressing their will at the polls, and
the Democrats in the North had prevent
ed honest elections.
The motive for dishonest elections wa!
plainly seen, in fact, that without New
York and Ohio the Democrats would no
grasp the Presidency.
Mr. Window then referred 10 the speech
OF Hill, and especially ridiculod that Sena
tors remark that II the South had knowI
there would have been war they woulC
not have seeded, and they seeded to &C
Commodate the northern conscience" AL
would recollect the opposition Of the Dem
ocrats TO war. It was unconstitutional Il
do anything but to aid the rebellion, anG
the Democratic National Convention de
nounced the war as failure and demand
ed cessation hostilities. The Democratic
party was masquerading as the guardian
and protector OF human liberty and rights
otman.
THE CASTE or THE PLAY NOT CONFLICT
WITHOUT THEN.
To make the play harmonious Satar
should be introduced as an angel Of light
Judas Iscariot as q Christian, Benedic
Arnold as patriot and Sitting Bull as
peacemaker. Senator Hill praying fol
the Union should not be omitted. Thu
Democrats would make tho world believ,
before the scenes that the Republicans
were trampling on everything precious
human and divine, while behind tn,
scenes race was flying from Democrati
rule as from pestilence while the Demo
Gratis were protesting to he the protector
OF human rights. Ten thousand person
had fled from Southern tyranny L
the West and they were nov
earnestly making appeals for food an,
shelter, and thousands more were lyini
on the banks Of the Mississippi praying !
be removed from the presence OF their or
pressors, AT the footlights the Demo
Gratis hold up a Democratic banner in
scribed with the initials &C. s. A." Thl
same spirit that brought on the rebellion
was here manifested to destroy the ma
tionality OF the Government and substi
tute State sovereignty, butthe Democrat
could not deceive the people, who would
as in the past, overwhelin them in thei
unpatriotic designs.
coEE'G cRoAK.
Mr.. Coke said the remarks OF the Sena
tor being calculated To excite sectiona
bitterness would find no reply in wha
he now had TO submit In favor OF III
sections in this bill, which proposed TO re
peal the election laws. He had nothin
10 do with the past, he dealt with the pre-
ent and future. He proposed to show nc
who was right or who was wrong Il
bringing on the civil war, or It's conduC
and results, but to discuss the question
whether these election laws were consti
tutional or not. II unconstitutional, n
matter who was wrong In the past, Il wa
right TO repeal them now, whateyer IN
