Mr. Morton moved that the Senate take up the resolutions of Mr. Sumner, which were yesterday laid on the table, lie said he voted against laying the resolutions on the table, because lie was unwilling to see them disposed of in this way. He dissent ed entirely from the views expressed by cer tain gentlemen that the act of the iid. of March was a pledge.

He (Mr. Howe) voted yesterday against lay iug theiu on the tnble, and found himself couiiiellcd to do so without- giving his rea sons.

Mr. Trumbull moved thai the Senate take up the supplementary reconstruct iou bill. It w as taken up ami referred to the Commit tee on the Judiciary. Mr. Trumbull moved an executive session. Mr. Sumner hoped not. He wished to say a few words on the subject before the Senate. Mr. Trumbull said this would lea l to an interminable .liwiesion. Mr. Sumuer said he could sav what he had to say ou the motion to go into executive session, lie waa proceedinir to conirratulate Mr.- Morlou on his sjh e I ,heu he was called i. orticr oy Mr. rraaenM.n, who sai.l congratulations to Mr. Morton were not pertinent to the question of going into executive session. Mr. Sumner - I understand the rul.sol the Senate. Mr. Keaaenden Oh, yes ; you understand everything, but some ol the rest of us have rights too, as well as you. Mr. Sumner said he was not arguing on hia resolution, and did not wish lo do so at tin. time. Mr. Keasenden N; you can't dignify it w ith the name of argument, but you were liegiuning to talk neverlh. less. Mr. Sumner said he txtlicved he was in order iu stating, on a question of going into fxeciitivescfaion, why the Senate should re -main in open acBsfun. . Mr. Keenhn Oh, yes; you are always in order.

In a re cent conversation with a radical crossroads jMilitician, he expr.

Goy. Hold, n had been elected civil Govcrn eriior of the State it would have lieen other wise. W asked him to mention a single Instance in which a secessionists had been a quitted of the murder ot a (. uiou man. He mentioned an instance, growing'oatajf the war, where the case was compromised it being connected with a civil suit for tlam suea, - und a W jtrutryui entered against the prisoner. We asked hiiu what Judge waa on the bench, and who the Solicitor waa that made the compromise. He answered Judge -and ftoliejtor r. We asked him it they were not both the appointees of Gov. Holden, and if the Solicitor who made the compromise und entered the iwlle jirote qui waa not now a radical, and an intimate personal and political friend ol Gov. Hoi ilen. He answered in the affirmative - saw that he was caught, and admitted that if there was any cause ot rouiplaiit, it was not to bu .attfibnunltouany particular party.

Th..e people bad the prejudices ofagis to overcome ; th.-v were reqoired now to march to the polls aide by side with tle ir former slaves, and he waa unwilling al thia time to impose more crushing bur dens upon them. He considered Congress as In). in. I tu stand by. Its otter. He had re ceived letters irom persons in the South, asking whether any more guarantees would I required among others, Irom Governor Patton. of Alabama and he had this morn tng replied in good faith, advising him to urge the work .. I reconstruction. Not one jot or tittle should lie a. I. led to this stipula tion until inose jH-optu had made tbelr de cision. Mr. Sunnier said the Legislature of Vir gmia, which was almut calling a (Snnven lion, w as compos. . I largely of the rebel ele ment, and he was learlul ot any action w hich would be under the control of that element Mr. Sherman said Congress had entire power over the w hole matter, and if anv at tempt waa made to stifle the voice of tbe loyal people, it could immediately apply the remedy, out they were bonnu by every sen tiincntof honor to stand by their offer. Mr. Johnson alluded to a remark of Mr. Dixon, that before long Congress would follow the lead ol the Senator from Massa chusetts, (Mr. Sumner) and proclaim univer sal confiscation, jnst aa it bail in the past followed the track marked out by the Sena tor. He ( Mr. Johnson) did not care to in quire whether this was true ot Ule past, but as to tlie future he had no idea that it would prove true. He could not believe that one single member on thia floor would be wil ling to violate the pledged faith of the na tion. He could not believe that one single member, either of this or the other House, but who desired the restoration of the In ion. Even the Sep at or from Massachu setts (Mr. Sumner) has more than once told us that he wished lor tbe restoration of the Colon. He had voted for the bill to pro vide for the reconstruction of those States in good faith that it was an offer which would lie adhered to. He had on hi table letters from gentlemen in North Carolina and elsewhere, inquiring in regard to this matter, and had replied that the proviaioua oi me tun were all that would be asked, and waa his word now U be tuifeitsd I Adopt now the proposition of the 8ens tor Irom Massachusetts and the work of re construction will be confined to the blacks just emancipated, and three or four thous and whites, the majority of whom, at the beginning of the war. Were secessionists If this proposition was adopted it would inaugurate such horrors aa the imagination could not conceive. He hoped the Senator would withdraw R. He believed that the South would accept the offer which had lieen made to them, and he entreated that they might lie allowed a chance to accept it. If they were, in less than two years all those States would be back here. Mr. Fnlinghuystn said the Senate was now asked to annul all which it had been trying In tlo for the last three months. It was asked to violate its pledged faith.X He moved lo lay the resolution on the table. Mr. Sumner again took the floor in advo cacy ot his resolutions, and maintained that he waa only a little in advance of his asso ciates wheu he first proclaimed the imwcror Congress over tlie rebel States and urged its right to confer the suffrage. He waa told he waa wrong, yet the Senators who then opposed him , had changed their opinions, and a few days ago voted to confer univer sal suflrage. Mr. Sumner sent to thf clerk's desk, and asketl for the reading of a M-ech made by Mr. Sherman in 18112, comparing him (Mr. Sumner) to Jefferson Davis, and maintain ing the sovereignty ol the States. Mr. Sherman said neatly every man had changed his mind during the peri, d ol the war and since, and he did not deny that he had, but he had not changed hia mind on the subject of the speech which bad lieen read. He now, here in his scat, rvpeated that those States were in the I'nion, and neither the Senator from 1 Massachusetts nor any other 'man could strike them out of it ; they ware, injpciisljpil'l". They were Slates, but their civ il governments ImvI la-en over thrown and Congress had the authoiity to provide lor their reconstruction. The pro position of the Senator from Massachusetts would overturn the Ji de structure nl so cicty. He proposed to divide tip the prop erty of the Southern people. He (Mr. Sher man) would ask him if he was willing to apply his pTojmsHhtfl -to MMMcbuaeUs . There- were men In Massachusetts who were rich enough to buy up w hole counties in Ofctuvthore were -men there ifC-- very large fortunes. Was the (-natr willing,!., divide theproptsrty f Itiiae rich ainong ad the poor men ol Massachusetts f There were many poor men in that State.
