It is a report intended to cover up by falsehood and misstatements certain facts. That is a whitewashed re port.. Now, sir, as a friend of the Presi dent, ("ud I piofess no exclusive or pecu liar friendship tor him,) I cannot sit qui etly and listen in silence to such charges. 1 sustain the policy of the President as I understand it; not because*it is the Presi dent’9 policy, but because it is right. I believe in tho truth of ihe statements he ha9 made, and although he needs no de fense, I cannot suffer such charges to go to the country without a protest. Mr. Doolittle—Whether the President's policy he right or not, tho charge of the Senator from Massachusetts does not go to that question at all. If the Senator from Massachusetts differs from him and be- belit vhs him to be wrong, that is one thing he has a perfect right to do; but. Mr. President, he rocs further. lie charges upon tho Presidor t of the Uuited States falsehood in substance by sayng his mes sage is a whiti waHiing report. He charges him with a want, of truth—a want of patri otism. What else can wo infer from his remarks ? It is that which pained me. 1 was not pained because the honorablo Senators differed from the President. I know In* differed from the President on this question ; but I was very much cha grined to hear that Senator, as I should be to hear any other Senator on ike floor of the Senate, question the truth, the integri ty. and the patriotism of the President, however much he might disagree in opin ion. I had huppoted that we all, every member of this body, hau full faith in the good intent!*.-ns of the President, in his in tegrity and love of truth. If he has spe cially displayed any character in this struggle it is tli t uncompromising lovo of truth, love of country, and love of Union which has made him sacrifice and endanger all he hud during thustruggle in the South, and which has always charac terised him H*i a man. It was not that the honorable dt-natur questioned the proprie ty of the policy recommended by him, bui b*.cause lie made use of the remark that it was a “whitewashing message," and intended to cover up infamy. That, 1 confess, sir. pained mo exceedingly, and I was none the less pained that after hav ing called his attention to it, he should rise and say that he has nothing to modify, nothing to qualify, nothing to retract. I have said ail, perhaps more than 1 ought to have said. 1 snail not go into any dis cus-ion of these matters ut the present time. Mr. Sumner—I am sorry that I have given pain to my honorable friends; I certainly did not intend to do so. They suggest thst the question has been raised ms i.» the policy of the President. I have raised no such question, and have express ed no opinion in regard to >t. Thu Sena tor from Wisconsin dwells on that point and remind* the Senate that the policy of tho President was not in question. I knew it was no. in question and therefore expressed no opinion on it; for when l speak in this body I try to speak directly to the question. Tnern wn«, ttion, no qu»a ti.ui di.ectly before the Senate. Had there boon, I nhould have been ready to moot it. The only qu**fti..n was on the character of the document read, and that I charac terized as a “whitewashing document.'' My honorablo friends roseonoafter anoth er, and like two lexicographers proceeded to give a definition of the “whitewash.'' I du not atcepttfio r definition. 1 intend od no such moaning as either the Senator from Connecticut or the Senator from Wisconsin ha- attempted to give l have reflection to make on the patriotism or truth of the President ot the Uuited States. Never in public or in private have I made any such roll ciion, and do nol begin now. When l spoke, 1 spoke of a document the* had been read at the desk, and 1 chaiai terizod it as I thought il ought to bo characteriz'd. My memory goes back in l 1 is chamber further than that of many 1 -ee about me. I remember ti ut other scene when a whitewashing message did come into this body from Franklin Pierce. We ail at that time call ed it a whitewashing report, and I am not aware that any one then on the other side undertook wliat my honorable friends from Wisconsin and from Connecticut have undertaken to do to-day. We all felt then that Mr. Pierce's message was a whitewashing document. I simply under took to-day, after bearing that document read at the desk, to characterize it as the patriotic party of lHlio characterized tho nif'Bsagc of Franklin Fierce. Mr, Dixon—I am giHii to hear the dis claimer now made by th** Senator from Mussachusetis. Although he declared he ha'< no explanation to make, nothing to retract, he n^w says he did not me the word in the s»*nso in which it is always undcr-lood. Very well. If he thinks the word ‘'whitewashing" h proper term to apply to the Mo-sage of the President, and moana nothing by il, I am content to al low him to give his own definition. I hud understood the word to mean what I have indicated, and what the common sons** of most men understands by it. But *8 the Senator In skilled in lexicography, I will not objoct to his applying his own dollni lion of too term generally considered so offensive. Mr. Trumbull (Rep., III.) to-no to ask that this debate cease. It was not in their province to criticise or remark upon the expressions of ■•pinion which Senators had thought proper to indulge in. But it did seem to nim that h controversy had arisen which was not calculated for the public interest cr welfare. h&ien il :: rM,U1 ^ to l h« great war from h Ihai ta » J m ♦‘"“•GM.

Our Relations with Mexico, A few days ago the House of Represen tatives passed a resolution calling for any information in tne possession of tho Exoc* utive Department with reference to a so- called decree by Maximilian, th« French Agent in Mexico, under date of Seplem- | b»-r lust, establishing slavery or peonage in ihat Republic, It appears from tho reply to this resolu tion, that on tho 10i.li of September, W. H. Corw ! n, Charge d'AtTriis, sent a copy of this decree to Secretary Seward, who requested the opinion of AttorneV’Uenerul Speed upon that paper. The latter gave an elaborate respons , saying, among oth er thing*, that the broad declaration in the first regulation, that all men of color are free bv tho fact, alone, of having trod on Mexican territory, it is manifest that in the subsequent regulations a grin ling and odious A rm of s.avery is sought to bo es tablished, and he c *nc!ud«-s as follows: **I have n<> hesitation in saying that theso regulation* constitute a law which deprives workingmen of the rights which wo in this coun'ry regard, and, which in every well organized community should be regarded a* inu-timablo, iiiulionablo and indestructible, and certainly makes them slaves Tim history of tlin country, and particularly the history of the troubles from which wo arn iu.-t emering, shows that no loci* »y can bo organized porma nently and remain at peace within us own borders and with theoutside world, where these great and important rights are deni ed to any considerable class of men." Secretary Seward wrote to Minister Bigelow on the lOrii **f November, saying that the decrees hud received the attention j of this Government, and that if tney were i carried into execution they would inevita- I bly operate to reduce to a condition of. peon slavery working men <•! the African | race, and of course such of the freedrii**n before mentioned a«, w ith or withoi t their ( intelligent consent, mav bo brought with in the jurisdiction of Mexico. The .secretary requested Mr. Bige’ow to plac»* a copy of Attorney-General Speed’s opinion in the hand* of M Drouyn do I’lluys, and to at»k that tho alicntion of the French Govtrnniont may be direc ted to tho question which tho Attorney- Gonernl has di>e.u*ed with ability and w ith an anxious dCairo to arrive at u just conclusion. Mr. Bigelow lias already furnished a copy of tho opinion to the French Gov ernment,. but no rorpoii*e has yet been re ceived bv' this Government. It further appears from the correction- deuce that Mr. R micro, the Mexican Min ister, furniebod a copy of the decrees, with appropriate comments, to .Secretary Se ward, who, under dated December 10 h, informs that gentleman that measures have been adopted which are deemed pro per to moot tho exigencies which they present. The Committoo on Foreign Affairs now have this subject belon* lh •■■). Who la Prc-h'cnt ol .11 xlro f The rupture between IV*sidcr.t Juartz and Genera' Orteta has put the question <*i the titular i'rutsidoncy ot Mexico into a curious light. President Juarez admits, as wo under stand it, that hi- term has legally expired; but he claims to hold on to hi.* office be cause there is no chance of an election by tho people of any RUccca*or, and also in virtue of “extraordinary faculties" con ferred upon hitn by the •’■•ngress of Mex ico. Against those claims General Ortoga ad vances the Uct that no C**ng r «i»s wk* in sns-ion at the time when Juar« z w ** driven out *f the oh pi t»I of Mexico bv the Impc ria ists, an I that the “extraonli.iary la u - ties" upon which Juar*z now rolica were conceded to him on y by a “U"nnniuoe<d Congress," composed of one member from each Mexican State, and t mpowored b.> Article 74 of tho VI«»\i«*»»n Coii*tilu ion to fulfill certain specitic'l functions, of whic** tho enlargement of tin* ex* entice author ity is notone. To tli«*«•• negatives Ortega adds hr positive that by At ueb* 82 ill- provided that “if, f >r anv cause wiiatso ever, tbe elec ion for President be no made and published by the lir-tof D cember, or the President elect l*e in any way prevented from H-auinirig hi* func tions, the previous ineu nheet shall n«*v erthele-s cease to be President, an 1 the Presidency of the Republic shall devolve upon the Prosidcrit of the JSupretno Court of Justice. 1 ’ .. Il*wa4 fnVirtue of tMs article that R nit** Juarez himself ih President »*f the .Su preme Court of Justice, originally became President of the Republic; and Gonzalez Ortega, being new in his own person President of the Supreme Court of Jus lice, hr wed a* General in Chief of the Armies, lie demand* as of right that he succeed to the functions, whatever they may he and wherever cxoro.Hcd, otalhe Mexican Presidency. It certainly does not seem upon this statement of the fact* quite fair that Pres- ident Juarez should respond to tho cl dm _ of General Onega by a decree «f “ini- j prisonment" in case he appear to main ain that claim. Tftote i* a singu ar anal ogy, it will l»e seen, between this Presiden tial imbroglio in Mexi ••* and the Pre-i donlial dilemma of the Fenians. (.) toga, like the Fenian S •nutor*. appears to have the Constitution on hi* side. But then Juarez, like 0 Mammy, ha- nine points of the law in “possession ’’ Only, it may be considered open to doubt whether the Fenian Presidency, with a residence in Union Square, i- not a more ugroea' le “bird in hand" than the Mexican Presi dency, with a license ot the open country between Chihuahua * K 1 P*«o.
