Senator Carmack, in his speech, an
nounced that he heartily supported
the president in his action in dis
the negro soldiers. The ac-
ton Of the legislature Of his state
taking the same position, met his per-
sonal views.
Mr.. Carmacl1 then paid his respects
to the president as follows:
"I think it proper to say that any
report that senator's may have heard
that the prcsirent personally solicited
my support in this matter, that he
urged me to forgive and forget cer-
tain personal remarks and begged me
to stand between him and those twin
enemies Of, his administration, the
from South Carolina and
Ohio, is a gross cXaggcration. | will
not say that it is an infamous false
hood, because such language belongs
to the vocabulary Of presidential con-
rather than that Of sena-
torial debate.
