The hued:444ft and sympathy Wt ich was apparentln the copperhead par ty of the North fur the rebels in arms, the eXultation at rebel vfetores, and the extreme depression when the lion ion armies triumphed, justify the con elusion Alley would prefer such for as soiates to the loyal then who compose the majority here, and who stand by the principles and the country against the treachery of friends or `the mena ces of enemies. Nir„hy, sir, there is in decent haste manifested to get these unrepentant rebel leaders into Con, geese, to vote down appropriations to your pensioners and to destroy your monetary system. by repealing you s r . tax laws and' • refusing the means to meetyour obligations, and thus threat en your national honor and national life. There is - oven now a small por tion of the Democratic party' In the North who whisper repudiation, and intimate we should, break faith with • the bond holders who lent their means, in the hoar when your credit was test ed, on specified conditions, And I predict that-whenever it will become popular to appeal to the mercenary feel ing and the lowest prejudices of men on this question, (as it has now on the question of justi ce to the colored race) 'you will find this party growing bold and boisterous, and especially so when taxes are paid with difficulty, and w her. the mercenary feelings can over , COMB the impulse to duty and to pa triotism. Now, place the leaders of this rebellion in power, and how soda' would they join in the attempt to re pudiate the very debt they compelled us to assume ? I believe the interests of the whole country will 'be best promoted by an early, restoration 9t, the 'former rile tions between-all the States, the re- i establishment ofkommeree and trade without Any restriction. Tbis the people deeire and expect; and when-II ever they see the proper spirit mani feeted, and proper guarantees for-fu into peace and safety given, they will expect and demand of us the- admis siod of these States to all the benefits. conferred byrepresentation and equal. ivy; and I believe the constituency I represent will not expect me to make the exter.sion of multiage to the color, ed t race its the South a condition.— Congress having secured to this.unfor innate clase, :by legislation, security and equality in civil rights under the law, the ,question of 'suffrage must be left to the States, and 'Cannot be ex tended out of thia Distriet by cOngrea song enactments. 1 refer .to thin merely,to correct the; misrepresents tion made by.our opponents in our own.
