I suppose, we are to raise monuments
beside the monuments to Reynolds and others, to be erected in the
cemetery on the battle-field of Gettysburg. We must there build high
the monumental marble for men like Barksdale, whom I have seen in this
hall draw their bowie-knives on the Representatives of the people; men
who died upon the battle-field of Gettysburg in arms against the
Government, and where they now lie buried in ditches, 'unwept,
unhonored, and unsung!' They are, I suppose, to be raised and put into
the fore-front ranks of the nation, and we are to call them through
all time as the dead of the nation! Sir, was there ever blasphemy
before like this? Who was it burnt the temple of Ephesus? Who was it
imitated the thunder of Jove? All that was poor compared with this
blasphemy. I say, if the loyal dead, who are thus associated with the
traitors who murdered them, put by the gentleman on the same footing
with them, are to be treated as the 'common dead of the nation'--I
say, sir, if they could have heard the gentleman, they would have
broken the cerements of the tomb, and stalked forth and haunted him
until his eye-balls were seared."

The question was first taken on the substitute offered by Mr. Schenck,
which was rejected by a vote of one hundred and thirty-one to
twenty-nine.

The question was then taken on agreeing to the joint resolution as
modified by the committee, and it was decided in the affirmative by
the following vote:
