XXXIX.th Congress—First Session.
CLOSE .0Y 17.EST,EJELD!4.1e8,-PBO.C.r,..EDINGS•k.
Hofsr..-:-Mr.Thointon offered a preamble, setting
forth certain principles - as lying at the foundatfon of
the Government, concluding with a resolution declar
ing that any extension of the elective franchtss to per
sons in the States, either by act of the President or by
Congress. would be an assumption of power which no
thing In the Constitution of the United States would
warrant, and that in order to avoid every danger of
conflict, it should be referred to the several States. He
demanded the previous question.
Mr. Weshburne (ill.) moved that the preamble and
resolution be laid upon the table r which-was agreed to
—yeas,ll/rnays, 46. -
. Mr. Hall introduced the following resolution:
Resolved,. That the act, of July 2 1362, prescribing 'an
oath - to be taken and subscribed by persons elected or
appointed to office under Ihe.United States, before en
tering upon the duties of such oth cEB, is of binding force
and fleet in all departments of the public service, and
should In no instance be dispensed with. •
A motion was• made to lay the resolution on the
(table, which was lost—yeas, 32; nays,l26. The resolu
tion was then passed.
On motion of Mr. Stevens, the House went into Com
mittee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr.
Washburne (Ill.) in the,,,chair. on the President's an
nual message..when Mr. Stevens submitted a series of
resolutions. referring its various branches to the appro
priate committees, and, so much as relates to recon
struction was referred to the Select Committee.
Mr. r said: Candid consideration' of the power
and proper principles of reconstruction can de offen
sive to no one, and may possibly be profitable by ex
citing Inquiry. One of the suggestions of the message.
'which we axe now considering; had special reference
to this; perhaps it is the principle most interesting to
t he people at this time. The President assumes, what
no one doubts, that theist& rebel States have lost' their
constitutional relations to the Union, and are incapa
ble of representation in Congress except by permission
of the Government. •
It matters Ifutlittle with this admission whether you
call them States out of the Union, and now conquered
territories, or assert that because the Constitutton for
bids them to do what they did do, that they are, there
lore. only aead as to all national and political action,
and will remain so untilthe Goverrunent shall breathe
into teem the breath of.life anew. and permit them to
occupy their former position; in other words, that they
are not out of the Union, but are only dead carcasses
lyingwithin the Union. In either, it is very plain that
it requires the action of Congress to enable • them to
form a State government and send representatives to
Congress; •
There is probably no difficulty in solving the ques
tion. There are two provisions in the Constitution.
ander one of which.the case must fall. The foarthsr
tiele sass: "New States may be admitted by the Con
gress into this Union." In my 'judgment this is the
controlling provision in this case. Unless the laW of
mattons is a dead letter, tug late war between the two
acknowledged belligerents severed their original com
pacts and broke all ties that bound them together. The
future condition of the conquered power depends upon
the will of the conqueror. They must come in as new
States or remain , as conqueredprovinces: With the
concurrence of the President, 'Congress is the only
power that can act in thismatter.-•
To prove that they are, and for four years have been
out of the Union for all legal purposes, and being now
conquered, subject to the absolute disposal of Congress,
I will sngsest a few ideas and adduces few authorities.
If the so•called Confederate States of America were an
independent belllgerent, and were acknowledged by
the United States, and by _Europe, or had assumed and
maintained an attitude which entitled them to be con
sidered and treated as a be lligerent. then, during such
time, they.were precisely in the condition of a foreign
nation with whom we were at war, nor need their in
dependenre as a nation he acknowledged by us to pro•
duce that effect..
As there are no symptoms that the people of these
provinces will be prepared to participate in constitu
tional government for some years, I know of no ar
rangement so proper ' for them as territorial govern
ments. There they canlearn the principles of freedom
and eat the fruit of foul rebellion under such govern
ments. While electing members to the Territorial legie
latures, they will necessarily mingle with those to
whcm Congress shall extendthe right of suffrage.
'" the amendment prevails, and these States with
hold the right of suffrage from persons of color, it will
deduct about thirty•seven. leaving them but forty•five:
with the suffrage unchanged, the 83 Southern mem-
hers, with the Democrats, who will in the best times be
elected from the North, will always give them a ma
jority in Congress and in the Electoral College: they
will at the very first election take possession of White
House and the balls of Congress.
I need not depict the ruin that would follow the
assumption of the rebel aebt or the repudiation of the
Federal debt.. The oppression of the aeedmen, the
. amendment of the State constitution and the re-estab
lishment of slavery woulo be the inevitable result.
That they would scorn and disregard their present con
stitutions, forced upon them in the midst of martial
law, would be both natural and just. No one who has
any regard for the freedom of elections can look upon
those governments, forced upon =main duress, with a
favor.
If they should grant the right Of suffrage to persona
of color.l think there would always be Union white
men enough in the South, aided by the blacks, to divide
the represettation,and thus continue the Republican
a. cep dency. If they should:refuse to thus alter their
election laws, it would reduce the Representatives of
the late slave States to about forty-five, and render
them harmless for evil. It-is plain that this amend.
ment must be consummated before the defunct, States
are admitted to be capable of btate action, or it never
can be.
The proposed amendment to allow Congress to lay a
' (sty on exports is precisely In the same situation. Its
importa.nee cannot welibe overstated. It is very obvi
vious that for many years the South will not pay much
under the internal revenue laws. 'The only article en
which we can raise any considerable amount is cotton.
It will be grown Largely at once; with ten cents per
pound export duty, it would be famished cheaper to
foreign markets:than. they could obtain it from any
other part of the world. •
The late war has shown that' two millions of bales
exported at five hundred pounds to the, bale, would
yield $100,000,C00. This seems to be the chief revenue
we shall ever derive from the Smith. Besides, it would
be a protection to that amount to our domestic manu
factures. Other proposed amendments to make all
laws uniform, and to prohibit the assumption of the
rebel debt, at e of vital importance, and the only thing
that can provent the, combined forces of the copper
heads and secessionists from legislating against the in
terests of the Union whenever they may obtain an ac
cidental majority. •
But this is not all that we ought to do before these
inveterate rebels are invited to participate in our legis
lation. We have or are abunt to turn loose, four mil
lions of slaves, without a but to Shelter them or a cent
in their pockets. The infernal laws of slavery have
prevented them from acquiring an education, under
standing the commonest; law of contract, or of manag
ing the ordinary business of life. This Congress is
bound to provide far them until they can take care of
themselves.
If we do not furnish them.with homesteads and hedge
them around with protective laws, if we leave them to
the legislation of their late masters, we bad better have
left them in bondage. Their condition would be worse
than that of our prisoners at Andersonville. If we
fail in this great duty now when we have toe rower,
we shall deserve and receive the execrations of history
and of all future ages.
It is time that Congress should assert its severity
and assume something of the dignity of a Roman
Senate. It Is fortunate that the President invites
Cengress to take this manlyattitude, after stating with
great frankness in his able message his theory, which,
however, is found ao be impracticable,and which, I be
lieve, very few now consider tenable. Re refers the
whole matter to the judgment of Congress. - If O. n
gress should fail firmly and' wisely to discharge that
• hign duty, it is not the molt of the President.
This Congress owes to its own character to set the
seal of reprobation upon a doctrine which Is beedming
too fashionable, and unless rebuked will be the recog
nized principle of our Government. Governor Perry
and other pros isional governors and orators. proclaim
that "This is the, white man's government," and the
whole Copperhead party, pandering to the lowest pre
judices of the ignorant, repeat the cuckoo's cry, "this
is the white man's government." Demagogues of all
parties. even some high in authority, gravely shout,
This is the white man's government." What is im
plied by-this? .
That one race of men are to have the exclusive right
forever to rule this nation and to exercise all rights of
sovereignty, whlle all other races, and nations and.
colons. are to be their subjects and have no volde in
making the laws and choosing the rulers by whom
they are to be governed. Wherein does this differ
from slavery except in degree? Does not this contra
dict all the distinctive principles of the Declaration of
Independence?
When the great and good men promulgated that in
strument, and pledged their lives and sacred honors
to defend it, it was supposed to form an epoch in civil
government. Before that time it was held that the
right to mile was vested in fabillies, dynasties or races,
nor because of superior intelligence 'or virtue, but be
calms of a divine right to enjoy exclusive privileges.
Our fathers repudiated the whole doctrine of the legal
superiority of 'family or race. and proclaimed the
equality of all men before the law. Upon , that they
created a revolution, and built the republic.
They were preventedloy slavery from perfecting:the
superstructure whose foundation they had thus broadly
laid. For the sake of the Union theyconsented to wait
but never relinquished the idea of its final completion.
The time to which. they looked forward with anxiety
has come, and It is our duty to complete their work'-
If this republic is not now made to stand on these
great principles, it has no honest foundation, and the
father of all men will still shake it to its centre.
If we have notyet been sufficiently scourged-for our
national sin to teach us to do justice to all of God s
creatures, without distinction of race orcolor. we must
expect the still more heavy vengeance of an offended
Father—still increasit g His inflictions, as He inereased
the severity of the plagues of Egypt until the tyrant
consented to do jostler! and when that tyrant repented
of his reluctantconseut; and attempted to re enslave
the people, as our Southern tyrants are attempting to
do now. He filled the Red 6ea with broken chariots
and drowned horses, and strewed the shores with dead
Mr. Speaker, I limit the Republican party will not
be alarmea at what I am saying. Ido not profess to
speak their sentiments, nor must they be held respon
sible for what I say. I speak for my self, and take the
responsibility. and will settle with' my intelligent con
stiments. This is not a white man s government is
the exclusive sense in which it is used. - To say so is
political blasphemy, for it violates the fundamental
principles of our gospel of liberty.
This is man's government, the government of all
men alike: not that all men will have equal power and
away within it; accidental circumstances, natural and
acquired endowment and ability will vary their for
tunes; but equal rights to all the privileges of the gov
ernment is innate 111 every immortal being, no matter
what the shape or color 'of the tatiernacle-which it in
habits. If equal privileges were granted to all,l should
not expect any but white men to be elected to oce for
long ages to. come. ' ffi-
The prejudice engendered - by slavery would not soon
permit mind tube preferred to color, but it would still
be beneficial to the weaker races. In aihantry. where
PhlltinPl divisions will always exist their powerj hod
with just white men, would greatly- modify, if it did'
not entirely prevent the injustice of majorities With.
out the right of Suffrageth the late.slave States, I do
not spesk of the free States. I believe -the slave had far

on gallant gentletnan said, 'the States had, not been
