The CHAIR said if any such demonstration was repeat
cd the galleries would be cleared


MI WILSON continued He desired this paper to 60
on the record-aragling the Administration because the
brave men from the Northwest who defending the
country on the soil of Kentucky have taken for their sup
port little straw hay corn, wheat and that
address calls upon the Representatives OF Kentucky to
oppose giving men or money to carry this Let
all The eulOgum of the Senator from Kentucky go
the record, and let the country decide whether the
address is loyal ard the eulogum worthy Of a loyal
Senator IL is strange for to rise day after day.
without word of rebuke for treason, denouncing the
President of the United States He should think the
who deaounce the Administration would feel the blush OF
shame when they think Of the whose counsels they
have followed Tor many years Every bullet fred in
this ut loyal has been fred by Democrats Every
man who has filled bloody grave every widow that has
been made every orphan, every flag torn and rddled all
these have been done by Democratic bullets The rebel
lion was plotted by Democratic leaders, and they have
been for nearly two trying to overturn the Govern
ment We have for the last few months been paned by
all this talk OF the sympathzers with treason We have
had secret meetings Of Knights Of the Golden Circle and
conventions and resolutions of Legislatures and the other
day they had convention at Hartford the charac
ter OF which there will be any doubt And Of the
chiefs Of the Democratic party said if United States
sha attempted to arrest him be would kill him, id him
and he told his audience if any Of these Infamous wheps
attempted to arrest them to kill him. He apprehended
that the who wanted to leave New England out in the
cold would not want to leave these for they sym
pathlzed too deeply with them.


Mr.. TURPIE said they only talked about leaving New
England out the cold to allow Massachusetts to have tho
benefit of the draft.


Mr.. WILSON said New England needed no defence
from him. and he should say nothing in her defence We
hear every day the President denounced yrant and
usurper but the history these times will show that there
never Administration kind and humane to tra-
tors and to the who sympathZe with traitors 1t Is
every of the word untrue and unjust and wicked
and such will be the judgment of the country and all The
christian and civilized world AS he had witnessed his
kindness toward these whose hands dripping with
blood, he had wished for one hour of Andrew Jackson
Instead of being rant and usurper the President has
dealt enientiy with this atrocious rebellion All these
assaults will fall harmless against the Presidents the brave
men in the field turning back to strike at those who
sympathzDg with those who trying to shoot them
down in 'front.' and these covering before the rs
ing patriotism Of the people The President 10 denounced
for making arrests he (Mr WILSON, admitted there
might have been Mistakes but the people OF the country
will be surprised when they the evidence against many
who have not bee arrested for treason and sympathy with
traitors There traitors all this country both
North and South He had hate against those men who
in rebellion he only wanted to justice done them
and justice done to many of them in this world they
would be of it He had nothing to say against
the loyal Democrats, who true to the country
and The nation The President had attempted to carry
the without any party feeling, and majority OF the
Generals who appointed had been men who did net
vote for Mr.. Lincoln.


Mr. WILSON contended that the President had the right
to suspend the writ of habeas corpus aud make arrests
when the life Of the country at stake He believed
was his duty to issue the emancipation proclamation and
to put down the rebellion by striking at the and the
support at that institution which has raised two crops for
rebeion He in favor Of using every means to crush
the rebellion and he would the slaves for all military
purposes. The Government may take sons and bro
thers and neghbos to fight and to be placed in the front
Of battle to be killed by rebels but no. it must not touch
the slaves make any Of them to put down this rebel
lion He for the country and the whole country, and
in favor of employing all to crush out treason.


Mr. POWELL said he had listened to the most extraor
of Sana who had
gone into general system of denuDcaton Of good and true
simply because he could not meet the arguments and
the facts contained n this address That address true
every word of it, and the Senator could not say it
uDtrue it aragned the Administration for its unconstt


ona acts and oppressons and the Senator could not meet
the specific charges therein forth aud hence entered
into general dsnuncaton Of Democrats all the
country 1t had been customary to denounce Democrats

had been denounced by the Abolition press traitor
The Democrats in and Ohio and Indiana and
other States had been and they charge the
Democracy of Connecticut with being disloya And whya
IL is because they opposed TO the and believe the
country only saved by peace They may be dsoyal
the abolition heart Of the Senator but they not to
the country at large. The honest intelligent, liberty
loving people not with the Senator and his party He
may think So but he is mistaken Only briehess barrs
es who have somehow managed to get shoulder straps
and cheating contractors want the war to continue the
people peace But the Senator has said that all the
widows and orphans and all the killed have been made
by Democratic bullets Does not the Senator know that
large number Of those now in rebellion never were Demo





and Zolcoier and others Democratsf The
Senator must know all this and yet he has the audacous
impudence to rise here to say that every bullet fired in
this has been fred by Democrat In the hot sbol
ton zeal the Senator he may believe this to be true He
hurled back with the denunciatons of the of
Kentucky who drew up and signed that address His
constituents who had penned this address true
and loyal the Senator from Massachusetts, OF
his abolition horde dared to think they The
Senator says that the Democrats are covering before the
rising patriotism of the people. When did the patriotism
of the people die outl And when did the Democrats
covert Was it when they carried the elections last fall
The Senator and bis party thought they had found torch
light fires Of patriotism when they issued the emanc
patton proclamation but where the focking along
the streets that promised by the Governor Of the
State Where the nine hundred thousand
promised by the editors Of chief paper Of the abo
ton party The Senator has admitted that Of the
arrests may have been mistakes The whole of them
cruel mistake and unjust TO innocent persons and viola
ion Of the Constitution.


On motion of Mr.. GRIMES, the Senate then went into
Executive session. after which adjourned till Monday.
