Mr. WADE. I have no doubt of it. I do not fear my associates on this great question. I wish, sir, and I wish nothing more heartily, that I could agree exactly with the presidents view of the subject and go along with him in the smooth path to a final and speedy adjustment of thiswliole question; but there are things in that path which prevent my seeing the way clearly. give the President full credit for all that he has done, and I honor him for the pertinacious manner in which he has insisted on the great guarantees to which I have already alluded. He has commenced, as it were, to uild this great arch of freedom aright; he has laid the loandations deep nion the rock of justice and truth; he has demanded that slavery be abolished. I agree with him in this, and I honor him because he has stood firmly by this demand, and he stands firmly by it now. All these requisitions that he has demanded of the South are right, but he has failed to put the keystone on the arch that he has built, and if you leave it as it is it will go to ruin., When this great question is settled, I want it to be finally and entirely disposed of. I do not wish to be fighting eternally about slavery and distinctions of rights and privileges among the American people. I say to President Johnson, to the Democratic party, to the people of the U.S., that I will never yicl this controvefsy until all men in America shall stand precisely upon the same platform, equal before the law in ever respect. When that shall have been“ secured, shal give up this great controversy in which I have been engaged so many years, and no man will be more rejoiced than myself that I shall be relieved froui it. I listened carefully to the elaborate argument of the Senfrom Wisconsin yesterday, for I knew it was the announcement of the doctrines of the Administration most ably set forth, most deliberately preored, nieditated upon long, written and probably printed in advance and submitted for its consideration beforehand; but I do not know how that was.
