HOIISE.—Mr, Smith (Ky.) introduced the
following resolution, which was agreed to:
• Resolved, Thiettie. Military Committee be
instructed to inquire into the present condi
tion of the property'kniiwn ths Arlington
Heights, and, the, expediency of converting
Said prbpeitY into a home for the disabled
-and wounded soldiers of the last war, with
,a view qf establishing.an invalid corto,i for
'thePurpose of manufacturing Such stores,
&c., as may be required by the army and
navy of thelJnited States:
Mr. Broomall (Pa.) introduced a resolu
tion, which was referred to the Committee
*•
on -Reconstruction,' asserting that the ter
___lnination_of the recent civil war has left the
lately usurped territory in the hands of the
conquering power, Without pOlitical rights;
that the political condition of the people in
the lately rebellions States mast be fixed by
the supreme legislative power; that the
effect of the amnesty is to relieve individ
tisls of the punishment of crime, bat not to
cenfer Political rights; that Congress should
confer the necessary power to enable them
to form their own State governments, but
• this cannot be done until the rights of those
among them always true to their allegiance
hall be guaranteed and protected.
Mr. Voorhees (Ind.) called np the resolu
tion heretofore submitted by him, viz.:
Resolved, That the Message of the Presi
dent of the United States, delivered at the
opening of the present Congress, is regarded
by this body as an able, judicious and pa
triotic State paper.
Resolved, That the principles therein ad
vocated for the restoration of the Union are
the safest and most practicable that can
now be applied to our disordered domestic
affairs.
• Resolved, That no State or number of
States confederated together can in any man
ner sunder their connection with the Fede-
, _ral Union, except by a total subversion of
our present system of government, and that
the President in enunciating this doctrine
in his late Message has bntgiven expression
to the sentiment of all those who deny the
right or power of a State to secede.
Besolved, That the President is entitled to
the thanks of Congress and the country for
the faithful, wise and successful efforts' to
restore government, law and order to
the States whose citizens were lately in in
surrection against the Federal authority,
and we hereby pledge ourselves to aid,assist
and uphold him in the policy which he has
adopted to give harmony, peace and union
to the country.
Mr. Voorhees said that in introducing
these resolutions he did not intend to step
in between the majority and the flesh pots.
He had no eye on the publidcrib on which
they had fed and fattened so long; nor upon
unfathomable contracts, or_ anything that
was theirs. Those of the minority had lived
- without such assistance to their patriotism,
and would not bend the knee that thrift
might follow fawning. Forhis own part, in
the future, as in the past, he would pursue
the course which he thought was right, ir
respective of rewards or the perils of re
proach.
What were the issues declared by the Pre
sident? Were they new, strange and sinis
ter, that they should be received with indig
nation•and alarm? They had been assailed
by the veteran of the Republican party, Mr.
Stevens, and every word was filled with
contagion and death; that gentleman had
deliberately declared that the Southern
States were destroyed by the rebellion, and
remain destroyed to thapresent day. And
now the House were asked to ravel to pieces
all that the President had done and begin
to reknit anew.
He himself should stand by the Presi
dent's position as a cure against the blind
empiricism - which first pronounces the pa
tient dead and then gives the medicine. He
was in no sense the President's partisan.
He did not support him for election, He
decided the issue which would be made if
he obtained power, blit since the day he took
the oath of office he beheld in him the ma
gistrate, not the private citizen. He (Mr.
Voorhees) never maintained that the South
ern States had the right to secede.
Many of the men of that section, while
maintaining the same view, held that they
possessed the right of revolution. To say
that .the Southern States are dead, is to
assert that the war to restore the Union is
an utter failure. In every aspect was the
theory of the majority fraught with death
and disgrace to the Government. With this
he contrasted the course of the President,
who, when the temple of Janus was closed,
extended the hand of friendship to the
Southern States, to meet the demands of the
people.
He did not, as others, view the conduct of
the President as a usurpation of power. He
found the Southern States without law, and
in the performance of his duty he used the
best means to restore them to power. He
hailed the appointment of - Sharkey, Perry,
- Johnson and Parsons as Provisional Gover
nors, as bright promises of. good adminis
tration, and as harbingers of peace to the
Southern people, and prosperity to the
whole country. Such men as Butler had
been disappointed in the fat, juicy pickings,
and the hungry sharks in the Southern
waters had been deprived of their prey.
Mr. Voorhees, in combating the doctrine
that the States are out of the Union, said
that in more than a hundred instances, in
letters, proclamations and speeches, the late
Executive always recognized as de jure the
Southern States. If these States then are in
the Union,. what power could close these
Aloors against them? How could this House
_refuse to receive their r representatives?
Peace and submission to the laws are -the
guaranties that can be demanded of a
conquered people.
The course pursued by the Southern
States in adopting the Constitutional
, amendment abolishing- slavery , was wise
?.and in r fttrtherance of , these questions of
guaranties. The refusal to. admit the
Southern Representatives arose from a
sense of power, and not of right or justice.
Had not Congress made -a record it could
not ignore? Had it not officially assumed a
position it could not overthrow during the
war? Were not Louisiana members ad
-li:titled to seats by the very men who now
keep them out?. Was Tennessee destroyed?
"ler name was .called more than half the
period of the war,
and representatives an
swered from bothends of the Capitol.
•••• Could it then be asserted that Tennessee
was a portion of a foreign Government,
and the President' himsielf naturalized
foreigner? Frederick the. Great, 'Said; "If
I wanted to ruin my GoVernment <I .'would
Make it• over to. the philosophers, for phi
losoPhers contradict themselves," an of_
thisthey had abundant• evidence. • Those,
-too, who claimed to be re,presentatives from
Virginia, were admitted during the 7ar,
'but were now eiccluded. ' ' . •
•'. Mr, 'Dendng asked the gentleman'' to in
form the House whether he thought the
right of representation-must commence at
Antietam or Gettysburg?
'• Mr. Voorhees said be would answer by
:repeating's sentence he had already uttered,
namely, that peace and obedience are the
only . guaranties •for the future which any
Government can require, and' when peace
reig) •he , held that the people cannot be
`governed without representation. The
present is more peaceful than the past, and
yet Congress ignores itarecord of the last
four years ' as if it were blotted out. Besides
what he had mentioned,) he said the prin
.ciple that,the Union was unbroken was dis
obeyed in all the party platforms.
The time to which Mr. Voorhees was re
rstricted by the rules • having expired, on
motion of Mr. • Smith, the. House unani
mously. granted air extension.
...Mr. • Voorhees,. in 'continuation of his
speech, indorsed the views of the President
on the tariff question. Taxes must be ' im
posed equally. All history shows thatclass
legislation has destroyed the public liberty.
The Presidenthaying sprung from the loins
.of the,peeple, they will hail, him as their
friend, for he has notlost US love and care
for the-dignity of labor.':
On the 'leading measures of restoration
an interesting chapter has been written. He
submitted it to another test on which it had
been assented by those who claim to be the
only friends of the Administration: They
were',engaged in making it appear that the
President has done nothing. The gentle
man from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) pro
nounced it impracticable and untenable,
while art arrogant Senator (Sumner) pro
nounced the whole thing a fraud.
Members too had crowded into the pre
sence of;- , the President ; -saying his • plan
does not promise to, give success,, and,
therefore, must be recognized as a failure.
And, then ,the majority ,ask him to set it
aside, and not open his lips, while they
smash to pieces his pillar, and knock to the
earth his almost complete structure. It is
their mission, to destroy, not to build up,
and to strew the broken fragments. Under
the peaceful policy of the President we can
celebrate victories not less renowned than
war.
State after State is constantly assisted by
the President to return, to take their places,
and they are welcomed, too, by the Presi
dent. Let CongreSs imitate his example,
and inaugurate the new year as a season of
universal joy. May the two sections meet
as friends, and the future of the American
Union will be bailed with the love and
praise of all its citizens.
The above are some of the points which
were elaborated on by the honorable gen
tleman, who, after takirig his seat, was
warmly congratulated by his friends.
Mr. Bingham (Ohio) expressed his sur
prise at the speech of the gentleman from
Indiana. When the rebellion was rife the
President had no support from the gentle
man and his friends. He had not forgotten
that the gentleman was accustomed m his
place to join the cry—" You cannot sustain
the Government by . arms." When the war
was rocking both nemispheres, and when
the land was filled with lamentation and
death, the gentleman was with his party
among the conspirators at Chicago, who,
in Convention declared that the war for the
Union was a failure He would have re
mained silent but for the fact that the gen
tleman would indoctrinate the House and
the country with the same foul spirit whicn
inaugurated the rebellion. The gentleinan's
argument could not be mistaken. it was
carefully prepared, and considered. The
gentleman's position was the same as as
sumed first and last by every man who
entered into conspiracy, and if maintained
must lead to the destructi9n of the Consti
tution.
It was simply, once a State always a
State, with all the rights of a State, with fali
and equal representation and local legisla
tion. Wherein did this differ from what
was maintained at the commencement of
the great struggle, which happily had ended
so well, and no thanks to the gentleman or
his party, but thanks only to God 'and th
grand, heroic armies of the Union, who
stood as a wall of fire in defence of the
country?
Disguise it as you may, it was the position
assumed here and at the other end of the
Capitol by the conspirators, who struck at
our flag and liberties. The position was,
that the people of the United States under
their Constitution had not the lawful right
to coerce seceded States. This embraced all
the 'gentleman's argument. You could
coerce neither by arms nor by law. That
they might make war on the Union, seize
the forts and custom houses, and arms and
munitions, and hunt to death true Union
men. That was the position then as now,
be asserted to-day, and challenged contra
diction, that when they became a nationality
by the more perfect Union which sprung (nit
of the adoption of the Constitution, declared
themselves armed with all the power neces
sary to maintain their nationality and their
supremacy of the law against all clamors,
whether from seceding States or the conspi
rators or their allies beyond the waters, for
Great Britain and France were particepB
He asserted the right, by virture of the
Constitution, to exercise all power to sup
press internal insurrection . and foreign in
vasion.
Mr. Voorhees (Mr. Bingham yielding the
floor) said he expected to be scolded for
what he had declared, that the American
Union being one of States once formed, be
did not know of any power in the State or
Federal Government to destroy the States.
If that signified once a State always a State,
the gentleman was right. If hard epithets
applied to him they also'spplied to the Presi
dent, for the President declared the true
theory was that all pretended acts of Seces
sion were from the beginning null and void;
that the States attempting to secede had
their vitality impaired but not extinguished,
and their ?unctions were suspended, not
destroyed; but the gentleman said all the
States that passed ordinances of Secession,
were dead. Who killed these States? ' Who
dealt the blow? Did Jefferson Davis kill
them, or the eleven Confederate States?
Where is the destroying angel? He halo
there was no element of destruction in them;
as in the beginning, so now, they are living
States in the American Union. He repeateJ
he bad asserted the position of the Presi
dent, and every assault upon him was an
assault upon the President.
Mr. Bingham resumed, The gentleman
from Indiana had- notified the House and
country that the President held that once a
State always a State, but the President had
asserted no such thing, nor did the ?resi
dent assume that the rebel States, having
surrendered to the victorious legions of the
Union, are entitled to representation! with
- out let or hindrance. Would the gontletna
undertake to say, by the merest platitude,
that if five thousand men in South Carolina
chance to be represented in ConventiOn for
the , purpose of coming back into the
'Union, the residue of the 'unrepenting
rebels have 'a
right to be represented as a
Ste, e?
Mr. Voorhees replied, the easiest and
most absurd arzument was to suppose an
absurd_thing. General Grant did net find
such a state of affairs, and he was willing to
take hisword. When five thousand men
were found re_presented in; cOnvention it
would be time to consider that question.
Mr. Bingham, resuming, said, the gen
tleman from Indiana stood behind the
shadow of a mighty name. He was not
rht.DAiLY OEN INO.743OLLFA (S i , ...:' f'HiTii.4.:PiETallTlA;',lol),lq.,Picif.:.:4l,ol:#4oll.(o,4o,o6';:
certain that General — Grant touched the
borders of South 'Carolina.
The gdatlemaii said - he was satisfied witl
the testimony &General Grant, but he could
not be thus satisfiect,hecause General Grant
has not given such testimony, He was not I
willing to conceae dint those who gave aid
.to the rebellion should be entrusted with plti
great interests inlhe keeping of the Repub
lic. The only safety to the Union is in the
hands of its friends.
. The purpose is simply to take security fo{
'the • future,,,tind not ask indemnity for the
past. The gentleman himself voted for what
he wanted—secUrityfortliti future—by cast,
ing his vote In favor of the Constitutional
Amendment prohibiting the' asiumption of
the rebel debt. If they could demand that
one security for the-future, could:they not
take in more for the benefit of all sections?
' It did not appear to the gentleman, when
he read from the President's Message, that
'the President lettrodliCed - from the author
of the Declaration of American Independence
the truth that the tru.ehatentof Government
is "equal and exact justice to all men."
This constitutes the - watchword of the Pre
sident's Message.
• But'. of this the gentleman tills obliylona
when he made bis first speech. In the first
Congress of the Confederation a motion was
made to limit' citizenship to white freemen.
Foni-fiftbs of all the loli3oPle were there_rep
resented, 'and in 1778 the Deputies rejected it
with scorn 'and excluded it from the funda
mentaljew, and therefore it, never found a
; place In the, Conatitntion and ,lastre of the
United States. '
Habing one measure of necessity, we may
require another, aid the purpose of the Con
stitution is equal to e.xact justice. He thanks
the President for uttering this watchword of
the purer and ' better days of the republic.
It applies:equally • to the white and black
man. The time was when it was unsafe for
a citizen of Massachusetts orother Northern
State to be found_in the streets of Charleston
or Richmond, because,, in, despite of and in
violation of the „Constitution of the United
States, all the guarantees of that instramen.,
*ere disregarded.
It was time we take security for the future,
so that no more attempts may 'be made to
dismember the Republic. Ete repelled in
scorn the assertion that he co-operated with
any party which imposed unequal or unjust
burdens on any State of the Republic. He
undertook to say that the President would
co-operate in introducing into the Constitu
tion that which will perfect it, so- that we
may reap the great end for which the Con
stitution was ordained,and "to make amore
perfect union,promote the'public tranuillity
and establish justice," as now written in
the front of the Constitution. Well might
the President say, "equal and exact justice
to all men."
He repelled every intimation that the
representatives here have manifested the
slightest disposition to interfere with thejust
prerogatives of the President, or to make up
a conflict with him. If the day ever comes
when he will find no supporters, except
among those who in 1864 were buried so
deep that the hand of resurrection can never
find them, then God help the President and
save him from his friends. [Applause.]
The Speaker promptly interfered to check
the disorder, and reminded those who pro
duced it that neither such approbation nor
disapproval would be permitted.
Mr. Bingbam,'resuming, examined a tit
tle more closely the President's position.
He had understood all his life that a differ
ence in words wasnothing if they agreed in
substance.
The express position of the President was
in exact accord with the position of the
House, that the functions of the insurrec
tionary States ware suspended by their own
act. They cannot assert their rights or
claim representation on this floor until the
representatives of all the States are satisfied
that they have placed themselves in their
proper position.
The President says the continuance of
States is assumed for Federal purposes.
Once a State always a State for Federal
purposes, till thesad day when treason shall
triumph over the republic.
South Carolina's liig. er ordinances of
Secession could not blot out the State lines
so far as established for Federal purposes.
The judicial district remains despite her
treason. The moment we captured Hilton
Head by authority of the people of the
United States the people of South Carolina
ceased to be a State for municipal purposes,
yet the American people might open courts
of justice, and proceed to execute judg
ment according to law against every of
fender.
The whole State was then for federal, not
municipal purposes, and never can be for
municipal purposes until the States are or
ganized for municipal purposes to the satis
faction of the United States—the State of
South Carolina cooperating when the
restored sovereignty comes to be restored in
South Carolina,Virginia and other Southern
States.
The Judiciary will be_ instructed to take
care and discriminate between those who
were driven into rebellion by bayonets, and
those who plotted and organized treason.
There was a difference between Jeff. Davis
and those starving and conscripted men who
entered his army, depending on it for their
daily bread. In conclusion, he offered the
following as a substitute for the resolutions
of the gentleman from Indiana.
Resolved, That the House have an ab
sorbing confidence in the President that in
the future, as in the past, he will co-operate
with Congress in restoring to equal position
and rights with the other States in the Union
all the States lately in insurrection.
Mr. Stevens asked that the resolution be
referred to the Committee on Reconstruc
tion.
Mr. Bingham assented to this.
Mr. Voorhees—l should like to see the
question met.
Mr. Bingham—l demand the previous
question.
Mr. Voorhees—That's flying in the face
of the enemy. If the question shall be de
cided in the affirmative would it carry my
resolution ?
The Speaker replied that it would.
The demand for the previous question
was seconded, and under its operation the
resolution was referred to the Committee ou
Reconstruction—Yeas, 107; nays, 32, as
