This change of the Constitution will also relieve us of all difficulty hi the restoration to the Union >f the rebel States when our brave soldiers shall have reduced them to obedience to the laws. To secure its passage requires, in the first instance, a vote $f two-thirds in its favor in each branch of Congress, and its ratification subsequently by three-fourths of the States of the Union. Can these majorities be obtained? It is very gene- rally conceded, I believe, by men of all political part...ies, that slavery is wrong ; and that its value to the master is destroyed by the rebellion. What objection, then, can there be on the part of any one, in the present state of public feeling in the country, to giving the people an opportunity to pass upon this question? I would appeal to Senators upon the opposite *ide of the Chamber, and ask what objection they have to sub- mitting this question to the people and letting them pass upon it? Do any of you deny that slavery lies at the bottom of this rebellion ?
