Mr. NYE. I thank the Senator for his definition. Then they are all rebels. That is just what I was going to assert, and it will have a double force indorsed as it now is. They being rebels, give me the evidence of their repentance. What is that evidence?" Not a papercomes from thoQout h, and not one of these pilgrims here who are seeking to get the evidence in their pockets to enable thorn to enroll their names upon the muster roll of American infamy, but is as loud mouthed as the Senfrom Wisconsin in denouncing the action of Congress. They do not return as the prodigal son returned, and say to this nation, I have sinned against thee and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son; let me be as one of thy servants." They come up here in the same spirit that they left. They demand that the doors of the Senate of the U.S shall be thrown open to them, and the seats newly cushioned, as a reward for their infamy, their treachery, and their indescrib able cruelty. Sir, I am not to be driven from the honest discharge of my duty here by an appeal to any mans policy. My people commissioned me to come here to guard) a ninst a rectition of this wicked rebellion, an though temoon may 12 times fill her horn before it can be done, yet faithfull will I sit here and guard the very portals of the temple against the admission of men who only await another opportunity, by adopting another set of tactics, to hurl this temple ofliberty and freedom down. Sir, it is little more than a year since Lees army surrendered. If I had been going to adoptapolicy, I would have hung some rebels 1st before I anted one pardon. Would not you? To Mr. goon nun] Upon that point, and to s 0w exactly what the now POTUS thought of the Baltimore platform and its duties, [desire to read an extract from the speech that he made at Nashville accepting that nomination. After the enlo y that the distinguished Senator passed upon the talent and honesty of the President, I trust he will not undertake to say now that the President did not understand that platform as well as he does. He said: "And let mesaythatnow is the time to secure these fundamental principles w rle the land is rent with anarchy and u rhcavesm the throes of n.mighty revolution.While societyis in this disorderedstate and we are seekingsecurity, l ctus fix the foundation of the Government on principles of eternal justice which will endure for all tinie. I join the distinguished President in that sentiment; and that is the labor of this congress, to fix these principles upon a basis of eternal justice that shall abide for all time. Does the distinguished Senfrom Wise onsinmeau to assert here that the principles of eternal justice would be subse rved by permitting the men whose hands are, red with the destruction of this Government to come back here to legislate?
