SPEECH OF
HON. OHAELES R. BUOKALEW,
DKMVr.llKIl ATNOlllllHTdWN, RKP-
riiMiiini I, ISO"?.
Tho Finaucos Reconstruction Dis
sected Position and Duty of
Pennsylvania.
Mr. VmMail and JMlow-Vithcit nf
Montgomery County :
What position shnll our ijreat Htnto
itsnumo In tlio contest of 180S V In 1800
and In lMitslioKiwohervototothu He
publican party, as it wnt then called,
now butter known to us us the Hndicnl
party, in IU ncworriniiuition and with
ltdrcforitiud or ildonncd policy. (Laugh
ter. In 1832 and in 185(1 our State gave
her great voice at tho Presidential elec
tions of thoio-yenrs to tho Democratic
party. So long at Bhe trusted and nslnt
ttl tho Ueniocracy of tho country, tliey
wero successful. Ho long as sho trusted
and a-sMed tho Democrncy oftliocoun
try tltero was peace, there was prosper
ity throughout our borders; there was
nn undoubted observance, by govern
ment nntl bv citizen, everywhere, of the
Constitution of tho United States us the
fundiimental law. Anil what is not to
bo overlooked in this connection In, that
thoro was also honesty in the adminis
tration or the government, in tho man
agement of Its financed and monetary
atriilrn, and that Its hand fell upon the
citizen everywhere lightly nnd justly,
In pursuance of law and duo respect to
fundamental principles of republican
government. Our government and its
administration wero nbovo nnd beyond
reproach before tho world. Wo had not
to blush for Its action on any occasion,
or wll h reference to any subject. Now,
gentlemen, after years of dlfllculty, of
course, the Interest on tho debt has had
to bo met. There has been n liberal
amount iinnronrintod for nonstoiis and
for bounties. I 'pon tho principal of the
ucut, nowovor, nouotty claims unit
more tltnti two hundred and fifty mil
lions has been paid out of the fifteen
hundred or sixteen hundred millions
collected. Mr. I'entllclon's estimate
is that it i" only one hundred and thirty-four
millions. Tho larger sum Is ob
viously lnaccurnto In ono respect, be
cause It Includes cash on hand on tho
first of Jtilj'i which (ongrea.1 bus ap
propriated uwny. Tliero is no uso In
talking about that lilnney; It litis been
voted to reconst i notion and to other
projects of thu Congressional majority.
At till events, not to pause to (lisputo
about tho niuotint, thu sum paid upon
die principal of the public (loot has been
relatively unite small. Out of theso fif
teen hundred millions, It Is my opinion
and l express It fur what It Is worth
that wo ought to have paid six or
seven hundred millions upon tho pub
lic debt Instead of ono hitmlrud and
thirty-four millions.
Why has not this application of the
taxes of tho people been made by their
government'.' That Is the question to
be put to tho Itdillcttls In this canvass,
unit in tie put in tneir rnnniiiaio niso;
that 1, ll you c;in put u question to
him ultlt any expectation of a
reply. Ureat laugh tor. Wis
can explain to ourselves, perhaps,
the reasons, or some of them, why this
money has not been applied to tho pub
lic debt. Wo have an army of fifty-six
thousand men that costs pretty "well
towards one hundred millions of dollars
a year ; llfty-plx thousand men nro mar
fhnlcd under t ho tlagof tho United States
three years after peace was becured, at
which time most of them .should have
been dlsbnnded, and returned to
the pursuits or private lire. Nearly
ono hundred millions or dollars n
ear are poured out and wasted

Tlieie Is what tho lawyers call an

we nru perfectly well aware of tho fact
that It has operated bee.tu-o we pay for i t,s iogntlon or Congress, above nil

Gentlemen, tho government or tho
United States was constructed by con
stitutional provisions tircn.iral In I7S7.
which being adopted by the States, went
im.y into eueci on itto mi oi Jinrcn,
178'J. Tho respective State j;overnment3
wero constructed diirlntr tho Itovoiu.
tlonary war In their republican rorms
uy ino peopto oi tno respecuvo tsiates
each ror itself, not one for another.
Tho government or tho United States
was made by tho States In forming n
Federal Constitution, nnd our Htato
governments were established bv con
stltutions inudo liy tho people In each
of tho States, each acting for Itself, nnd
inuepenuent oi nil outers, xnis was
tho manner In which our govern
ments, Htnto and Federal, went mndo
originnuy, niter mo uomination oi me
Klngofureutllrltaln was thrown off.
V Hat nnd Congress to do witn eon
structing government? Nothing In the
worm, it was a suDoruumte agency
created by tho Federal Constitution,
nnd endowed only with certain limited
und specific powers ror tho purposes or
government, and it was provided titnt
future amendments to the Constitution,
tin; rutidnmental law of Union, might
be nmdu in n particular manner; to wit,
by tho respective States on propositions
duly submitted tothem. Noauthority
was conferred upon Congress with ref
fereitco to tho organization of State gov
ernments, except possibly in that clause
which provides for tho admission of
new States into tho Union, which is
inapplicable to our present question.
Then, clearly, Congress had no power to
do anything lu regard to instituting or
changing governments In the States of
tho South excopt to lnterpo.-o In n pro
per caso against changes tonristocraticul
or monarchical forms, under the guar
anty clnuso of the Constltuton. or to
submit some amendment of tho Consti
tution of tho United States to thu re
spective States, which might, upon
adoption, lmvo some operation upon
Stnto organizations. Neither of these
modes or nctlonls now in question; out,
indepent or them, in tho itDscnco or nil
pretense ofn grant of power In tho Con
stitution Itself, tho Congress of the
United States have proceeded to pass a
series of laws within tho last year and
a hair on tho subject of reconstruction,
so-called. Tho Congress lmvo ussumcd
to themselves to reorganize Statu gov
ernments iu ten States or tho Union.nnd
to impress upon thoso Stato govern
ments sucli features, such character,
such form ns in their good pleasure
they choso to create and to impose.
That is what has been done; and It is
Wero to appoint tho men who should
tako tho registrations of voters. Tliey
uoro to control tho proceeding or mak
ing a constitution In each Slato so r.ir
as all necessary orders nnd appoint
ments wero concerned, nnd alter tho
Constitution was formed they wero to
transmit It to Congress. In short, the
acts of tho !il nnd 23d of March, 1807,
conslstod of two principles, military
government in tho South, nnd recon
structed civil government under tho
dictation of military power.
On tho 13th of July following Con
gress having convened lu extraordinary
session on tho 3d of that mouth n sec
ond supplementary act was passed that
was to glvo moro thorough control to
the mllitnry commanders over tho pro
ceeding of reconstruction. II was to
meet eertaiu difficulties which in tho
administration of tho law ombarasscd
tho political ngents of the Congression
al majority In thu South.
Again, on tho 11th of March, of tho
ipresent year, another Inw was passed.
That provided that a majority of till
tho voters In tho Stato should not bo
required to voto upon tho question
of adopting or rejecting any of the, new
constitutions, it also provided that an
elector registered nnywhero In a Htnto
might voto nt any other place In tho
Stnto besido tho ono where ho was reg
istered. When tho bill in that form
wns pending In thu Senate, I offered to
Incorporate in It a provision or tho con
stitution of Pennsylvania, which Is
familiar to you all, that tho elector
should resldo In thu election district
where ho offers to voto nt least ten days
boforo tho election. After debtitothnt
amendment was adopted. 1 will ox-
plain to you presently how it was ob
served In ono of thu States to which It
wasnppllcd. For tho present I run re
citing lu succession tho severnl recon
struction laws.

The next in tlio scries wns tho act of
Juno 22, of tlio present year, by which
Arkansas was admitted to renowcu rep
resentation In Congress. That net pro
ceeded torecltcthnt thoStatohml ndont-
ed n now constitution in pursuanco of
tlio reconstruction laws.ann inai Hence
forth she should botntltled to represen
tation in tho two Houses. Now, gentle
men, letmocallyouratteiitlou fora snort
tlmo to tho election In that Stnto by
which It wns alleged the new Constitu
tion for Arkansas had been adopted.
Tlio Biippienientnry net ittiinorizing
persons registered nnywhero in n Stnto
to voto in any mirt of tlio State, with
the amendment to which I lmvo refer
red rivmiring ten days residence In the
election district, wns pas-cti only two
days no'ore mo eiecuou in ArKnnsas
upon tho question of tlio adoption or re
jection of the new Constitution, That
election was ordered for, nnd held on
tho lllth of March. It was held through
out tlio State on that day ; tlio votes
wero taken, and the Constitution wns
rejected by a considerable majority. I
need not go over nil tho details of the
election. I will eoniino myself to a sin
gle point which is sufficient for my
present purpose to snow now mo recon
structed States aro counted In by those
who make them. In tho counties of
lulel miiA Jc1Ycrmi tho i-tivtlon ir
tlcers not only held nu election upon
adopting tho Constitution on thu 13th
of March, hut they went on holding
elections from one precinct to another
In those counties until the 31st of March
That is, tliey held an election lor seven
teen or eighteen successive days.
Lnughtcr. What was the result ?
Why, iu those counties tliey took about
two thousand moro votes than tho total
number of registered voters between
lJOOand 2,(KI0. In tho other counties
of tho Stnto where tho election wns held
on tho I.ltli, only about live-sevenths of
the registered voters voted, Naturally
enough, soino men did not go to tho
polls, and only live out of seven entitled
to voto did voto; but iu these counties
with nh'litrcn diiv.s nf iTinttmious floe-
tions,they not onfy polled live-sevenths
of tho vote, but tho whole s even-sevenths
and 2,(Hi(l besides! A military
otllcer wlio investigated tho caso and
reported to Oencral Gillcm, informs us
Unit tho election olueer.s kept no lists of
tliu names of tho persons who voted;
thev rciiuired no liroof from any person
who otlered to voto, except simply the

law which I havo mentioned, tliu act of

that they heard of it, not on the 1st Ii,
when the election was held generally
throughout tho State, but a few days
afterwards. Hut they took the voles of

that ho had not voted beforo lu another

On tho IKth of Juno last, six addition,
al States wcreadmltted to renewed rep

Alabama. Theso were declared to havo
complied with tho reconstruction laws

additl'inal measure, a Joint resolution,
was also passed by Congress on tho 20th

structlon measures. Itnt In the case of
Alabama, ono of tho six States admit
ted to representation under tho act of
Juno 2.'(, thcro was n peculiar question.
Under the earlier reconstruction laws
it was required that a majority ol'nll or
tho registered voters in a Stnto should
voto nt tho election upon adopting or
rejecting a new constitution. It did not
mako any dill'ercnco which wny they
voted, n majority of tlio whole number
registered must vote, and then n major
ity of those voting would dccldo the
result. In the Stnto of Alabama, the
election upon tho new constitution was
held under that law, and n minority of
tho registered voters only voted. Con
sequently ?ho constitution failed; It wns
rejected under tho law; it became, It
was wasto paper from tiiat moment, so
far as any pretenso of legality or force
in it wns concerned. Tho peopio of that
Stato wero told by tho law that if tlioy
stayed away from tho polls nnd did not
vote, they should bo counted against
tho adoption oftho constitution. They
availed themselves of that prlvilego tin
dor tlio law, nnd thus defeated the Con
stitution. What did Congress tin In that case?
They took that constitution and de
clared long afterwards that It should bo
tho Constitution of tlio State of Alaba
ma; in fact, declared that tho Stato of
Alabama had adopted it. What a false
hood I What an outrage ! In plain
truth, there Is n Stnto at this moment
represented In both Housesof CongreNS,
assisting to mako laws for tho Ameri
can pcoiile. whoso constitution was re
jected under the laws which applied to
its adoption, 'ino majority in Congtess
have taken a piece of dead paper, voted
down, rejected, stamped upon, spurned
by thu people, and have Insolently de
clared that It shall bo tho constitution
of Alabama, nnd that the peopio shall
bo bound by it. Yes ! And we, men

"(ioon, Goon.") If tlmo permitted
i would go over mo tirgunient and

which, iu my opinion, ought to put to
shamo the pretenses upon which it is
attempted to Justify tills legislation.
In tno tlrst place, observe that leeon

open denial of a principle of republi
can government which is luiidiimcntnl
and cannot lioigunnd or disregarded.
Wo have it In our constitutions in tho
most solemn form: "All Just govern

power which made constitutions origi

to amend them. Hero were ooti-tltu-tions
nnd governments niado by tho
people or tho States concerned. Con
gress remakes them! On tlio l!d or
March, 1S07, the first rccon-trnctlon Inw
was passed. It contained two leading
provisions! First, that the Stater1 of tho
south should bu formed into niilltury dis
tricts; civil government to bo wipedout
or mado'subordlnato to Major-Oeuerals
of thu army nf tho United States, who
wero to tako upon themselves thu busi
ness and authority of civil government.
And second : that tho people of thoso

would uutliorlzo the stato to intvu re
