Year: 1866

FROM Ine Madison StQte s0NTnUt we
gather the particulars about the enthusi-
astic reception which Senator Howe re-
ceiyed at the hands Of the citizens of Mad
ison, on the 11th inst. It would be graft
flying to US, and we doubt not to our read
ers, to present the whole of the proceed
ings, including the speeches of Governor
Fairchild and Senator Howe, but our space
will not permit, and brief review Of the
affair will be all we shall be able to present.


Governor Fairchild welcomed the Sena-
ator with an eloquent address, in which he
said that the people had watched with
anxious solicitude the course of the Sena-
tors and Representatives during the last
session of Congress, believing that the
present and future safety Of the country
depended on their action Mourning over
radical changes in him who stands at the
head Of Government, and that some trusted
representatives had lent willing ears to
traitors mouths, they yet rejoiced that
others had been faithful to the principles
which they knew their constituents be-
lieved in, and because he had conscien-
tiously reflected the will of his constitu-
ents, and not, turned aside after false gods,
the people welcomed him to their hearts,
and in their name he said, swell done,
good and faithful servant"


Senator Howe, in reply, expressed HIM
self profoundly gratifed at the generous
welcome extended to him, and for the con-
slant support given him by the people of
this city for the last twenty years. He
then proceeded for about an hour and a
half, to mastery review of Senator Doc
Titles recent speech, showing the incon-
clIsiveness Of his reasons for separating
from the Union men IN Congress, and those
who made him their representative, and
placed him in the councils of the nation,
refuting his charges against Congress, and
vindicating it's course, closing with an in
junction to be firm, resolute and true to
their convictions, thus compelling not only
Congress, but the President to do their
will 10


At the close of the meeting, a committee
which had been appointed for the purpose,
reported resolutions in substance as fol-
lows, which were unanimously adopted:


That the course of senator Howe meets the ap-
probation of the people of Wisconsin who supported
the administration of Abraham Lincoln, and favor
ed suppressing the rebellion.


That we approve of the aglendlnanl to the con-
sttution Of the United States submitted by congress


That earnestly as we des ire the early restoration
of all the states their full relations in the Union
we demand that the conditions of such restoration
shall be such as will meet the approval o f Iowa,
men, and guarantee their security against violent
and offensive acts the part those lately in re-
bellion. a


That there arc tn rty-sx stars the flag, and the
usual number of stripes, and that the proper meth
Cd to maintain those stars in their clear e6ugence
the bacon-ight justice freedom and nationality
is to traitors to take back seats, and commit
the work of restoration in the lately rebeous states
to men of undoubted loyalty. r
The demonstration was most conY.nc
ing proof Of how cordially the Union people
approve the course of the radical majority
in Congress, especially that of our own
Senator, and how earnestly they arc de-
termined to sustain the policy of Congress.
