In the Senate the above-mentioned bill considered, 

 207; nobody objects to the first section, 207; the sec-

 President is authorized to act, 207; the fourth makes 

 some conspiracies and combinations a rebellion, and 

 authorizes the President to suspend the writ of habeas 

 corpus, 207; other sections provide for executing the 

 previous ones, 208; these principles go to the founda-

 ment by affirmative law, 213; when the Constitution 

 imposes an inhibition on the States, it does not give 

 the Federal Government power to see that they do 

 not do it, 214; I will go as far as any one to maintain 

 the authority of the United States, 214; let us exam- 

 ine what sort of a Government we have, and precisely 

 what its rights are, 215; it ia said to be merely a con-
