uouncetcent had bten made that the business which the Senate had teen called to transact should not be transacted until tlie present officers were deposed and others elected. If the report wsre true, the thirty-eight Republican Senators intended to keep tlie body in its present
in the j position until their object was accoraiagaiust | fished. Alluding to tlie remark of Mr.
1 Hoar, that the announcement on tlie Democratic side, that it would meet endurance with endurance, contained the very essence of treason, and revolution, he said that if that were true, it would devolve a terrible responsibility on tlie Democratic side But was it true? He could see that if the Senate was disorg-.inized or unorganized, or, if there were vacancies, that a factious opposition to tilling those vacancies, protracted to the end of tlie session, would lie unpatriotic and rejrehensible, but such was not the case. The minority intended to protect itself from the oppression of tlie majority. If there were any reason for this departure ou tlie Republican side from the u.-ages of this body, these thirtyeight Senators stood justified, but they must give tin ir reason and address themselves to public opinion. It could not be as reward for political services that this extraordinary position and delay had been s jperiuduced. What was the animating, overwhelming, dominant reason of public policy? It would not he from any gieat zeal of loyally to the Union, inasmuch as the Senator who had brought Mie of Die candidates had avowed that he had teen true to the Confederate cause* and that tie had no apology to offer for it, here or elsewhere. What was tlie reason? He asked them to tell it; he defied them to announce it; he taunted
them to the avowal.
