Mr. DIXON. If it is identical in spirit, then the Senator is mistaken in another point when he says that the President has now taken new views and new grounds. He says that the language attributed to the President in the paperfrom which he has read, is identical in spirit With the resolution that I have offered. y resolution is taken from the Presidents veto message of the Freedmens Bureau bill more than 2 months ago; so that the senator Wlll see that he is mistaken in enposing that there has been any change in the resi ents views, if mine are identical with his; and I do not suppose there has been any chnn e. I do not suppose that the President has O anged from the Views contained in that resolution. I copied the resolution from the words of the President contained in that veto message because I thought they were extremely well expressed and because they were my VIEWS. Now, I desire to say with regard to this resolution of mine, that I have not offered itin consequence of any consultation with any human being. I have not seen the President or any member of the Cabinet or any human being with regard to it. I read the article in the Evening Post, and it struck me as being true and as coming from a source entitling itto great weight and authority. I knew it would be respected by this body from the character of the writer. thought ibeorrect, and it was exactly in accordance with my sentiments. I say this because it might possibly be supposed from what the Senator said that this resolution of mine has been offered in consequence of some consultation. Sir, I am in consutation with nobody. I attempt to act here as a Senator in accordance with my own views of right. I may be wrong; but I am under the lead of no master and no man. I care not what the President or anybody else thinks. If what he does and so 5 is right, I support him; if they are wrong, I denounce him. That, I take it, is the position of every Senator. No man is worthy of being a Senator unless that is his position. I repeat that I have offered this resolution without consultation with anybody. Now, a single word as to the Presidents views. I do not see that there is any very great contradiction. It cannot be supposed that the President will in every statement which he makes of his views express every single shade of idea that he may have heretofore expressed. He thinks that the southern States should be represented. How and by whom? Take all his language together, and it is by loyal men when they come here in an attitude of harmony and loyalty to the Government and are represented by loyal men. That is what my resolution says; that is what the President says, and I believe that is his view.
