Mr. HENDERSON. Iam morethan anxious to do that. I do not want any preamble, because it adds nothing to the strength of the law. It is a mere assertion of fa'ct, and gives the POTUS another chance to veto a proposition and have a large bed of our most radical friends voting with im. 'hat will unquestionably be the case, and we cannot pass the resolution. We shall have to wait here another ten days in order to hear from him and get Tennessee in. It is proper to allude to that consideration, because he will assert no such fact, and we practically assert it by the resolution without any preamble. Then why have an preamble about it? I regret very much at the HoRep insisted upon a preamble; and I regret still more that the ComJudiciary of the Senate have thought proper to insist upon a preamble more obnoxious, in my judgment, than the House reamble. If we have to take any, I am wiling to accept that of the House, because the people of Tennessee have adopted the constitutional amendment recently sent to them, and I am willing to so, and to leave that inference before the poop e, that we will admit no State unless it does adopt this amendment; that we will regard that as evidence of their sincerity, and take them in, provided we are willing JUSi. at that time to take them in. I am not prepared to say, even if they adopt that constitutional amendment, in all cases, that I would receive them. I will look at the surrounding circumstances and the character of the men the send here. They went out of the Union, an I am in no very great hurry to take them back. They insisted8upon killing everybody who opposed their going out, and now many of them are insisting upon taking the life of everybody who 0 poses tieir instantaneous return. We can ta e things certainly as gently as they can. They kept out willingly 4 or 5 years, and I am not forced, even within 4 or 5 years, to be in great haste to receive them back. I am unwilling, if [do receive one of them, to declare in the preamble a thing that I do not honestly believe. I do not believe some of the facts here stated; I am unwilling to make this declaration; and I hope it will not he insisted u on.
