Mr. LANE, of Kansas. Mr. President, I stated that the party to which I belong nomi would endeavor to defend him upon this floor against all unjust assaults. After making that statement, the Senfrom Ohio, forgettin the position he occupies, has suggested that have taken upon myself the collar of the POTUS I hurl the suggesttion in the teeth of the Senfrom Ohio as unworthy a Senator. I wear a collar! The proslavery party of the U.S., backed By a Democratic Administration, sustained and supported by the Army of the U.S., could not fasten a collar upon the handful of Kansas squatters of whom I had the honor to be the leader. The gallant fight made in this Senate Chamber by the Senfrom Ohio, aided by the Senators from Massachusetts and 1 other Senators, would have been of but little i avail had it not been for that other fight that was made upon the prairies of Kansas under the lead of your humble speaker. Iwear a collar! Indicted for treason by a pro slavery grand jury, hunted from State to State by a writ founded upon that indictment for treason, and $100,000 offered for my head! Jim Lane wear a collar! Wherever he is known, that charge will bedenounced as false by both friends and enemies. Mr. President, I desire to have the attention of the Senfrom Ohio. The POTUS is not here to answer for himself. I call the Senators attention again to this statement made upon this floor in his capacity as a Senator of to U.S., to this Senate and to the world yesterday: “The issue the President has madewith Congress. the quarrel he has picked With Congressfrom the very commencement is nothing more or less than on the questionof recognizingand permitting rebels to occupy their old placeson this floor, for the utter deistrpgtionof the government in myJudgment and e to. That charge is either true or it is untrue. Iask the Senator for the evidence of its truth. I give him the evidence of its untruth; he gives me no evidence of its truth. Again and again, on all occasions, in conversation, in writing, in public speech, the President has stated privately and publicly that the governments of those States belonged to the loyal people, and that none but lo nl representatives should be admitted upon tie floor of either branch of Congress. The Senator fails to furnish me an testimony of the truth of the charge. I reor him to the statement again and again made by the President; and now, the Senator failin to furnish the testimony of the truth of his alTcgation, I ask him as an honest man to withdraw the charge he has thus made when he cannot vindicate its truth. Mr. President, most of the speech of the Senfrom Ohio was made up of an attempt to show that the POTUS had no right to institute any steps for the organization or reorganization of State governments in the insurrectionary districts. To that statement and position I desire to call the particular attention of the Senfrom Ohio. Tennessee was organized, or the ste s for its organization were taken by Mr. Liucoln, while the Congress of the U.S. was in session.
