Mr. SHERMAN. I trust the Senate will not adopt that amendment, but that we shall pass the resolution as it came from the HoRep. Indeed, I had hoped that the ComJudiciary would report back the resolution without amendment, and that we should have the matter disposed of to day. I presume there is nothing in the recitals of the reamble reported by the ComJudiciay than what I have already twice voted for. the most material recital in it that is not contained in the House preamble isl that the question of the admission of the rebel States is a question for Congress to determine and must be prescribed by law. The HoRep, after quite a contest, have adopted a resolution which does not assert that proosition a proposition which we have al rea y twice asserted, once in the form of a concurrent resolution, and there is no need of reasserting it again. If we take the resolution as it came from the House the same effect is produced the admission of Sens&Reps from Tennessee, on their taking the oath of office. The assertion of these political dogmas in I the resolution can be of no use whatever. We have already asserted them in every form in which it is possible to assert them by concurrent resolution. We know that they cannot receive the sanction of the President; and to insert them will only create delay and post pone the admission of Tennessee. This is a JtResolution, and I presume it is contemplated to send it to the President. Now, it seems to me the committee have so framed their preamble that the President cannot aprove it, and the result will be another vote on further delay. On the other hand, the House resolution will accomplish precisely the same result; and the body of the resolution being substantially the same, I trust we shall take a sensible view of the question and accomplish the result we desire by the shortest road, andvnot reassert in the preamble propositions that will only give rise to anew discussion and new controversy. This is the view I take. We know what was i the action of the House, yesterday. Their proceedings have been published, and I hope we shall take the same view which was taken by the rent body of the House. If we take the resolution as sent to us by the House we as sert substantially the same thing in the preamble, without going into unnecessary details and reasserting our right to act upon this question. For these reasons I shall vote against the amendment proposed and for the resolution as it came from the House, and I hope we shall act on it today and thus settle the question.
