In this view he believed that it would meet with the approbation of three-fourths of the members of the Ubuse. There was no occasion for raising questions which could only result in antagonisms. Mr. Wickliffe (Ky.) while advocating a full chance for the discussion of this measure, said he must have a better commentator than Mr. Bingham to satisfy him of the constitutional power of the Government to purchase the slaves of rebels or any other parties.
