Mr. CUTHRIE. Mr. President, I made this motion in good faith, and I expected that it would be resonded to, because no advantage can be gaine by those acting with me between now and the period at which we propose to submit this bill to avote. I do not wish to stand between the Senfrom Ohio and his constituents; but there is not a people in the world to whom I would a peal with more certainty of being respondedI to than the people of Ohio upon this very subject, if I was addressing them now. They would not, I verily believe, sanction the idea of taking advantage of the circumstance of the absence of 2 senators, who are sick and who do not wish to come here at an inconvenient hour of the night. But his action on that point is a matter between the Senator and his constituents. I said nothing about bringing in Senators from the southern States. I believe, however, that they ought to be here, and in saying so I speak as a Union man; as one who has stood by the Union from the beginning. I advocated the cause of the Union in the Peace Convention; I went home and advocated it in Kentucky; I have stood by it since, and I cannot be driven from it by the cry of the one man power, because I have seen as much self will in the one man power exercised at the dictation ofindividuals here in the Senate as I have read of anywhere in the U.S. I do not want to continue this discussion. I should not like it to go out from this body that the Senfrom NewJersey (Mr. Stockton) was removed because his vote was wanted. do not want it to go out from this body that we would not do a courtesy to sick Senators because we conld pass a bill without their votes, when we could not if they were here. The time will come when the people being (.on vinced of these things will say that thrte is more to be feared from a combined Congress than there is from a President, in relation to the liberties of the people. I have no fear for the liberties of the people from the President. That is a bugaboo; but I have a fear of a consolidated Government from the action of the party in power here. I have felt it creeping on me the whole time since I have been here. But I will not go into those matters. I ask the Senate to make this postponement and teach the Senfrom Ohio that he is not the one man power hero.
