SPEECH- 0F , H0N..1. M scovzr. Our Relations with the Rebellious States —Prtsidential,kowera- - -The Great Poli tical Law of Miter/ea. ' DELIVERED IN THE NEW JERSEY SENATE, FEBRUARY-27TH, 1866. Mr. President: He must- be a buoyant philosopher as Well as the most charming of optimists; who will deny, since the 22d day of February, that there is vitality in the spirit of slavery. ' It belongs to brave and creative intellects to forget - the past, and I did not, Mr. Presi dent, take my place upon the floor of the Senate to-day to indulge in any historical detail of the sad but glorious recollections of the past four years, through which the American Republic has struggled and suf fered and triumphed. ,2But, sir, events which have so recently shaken political,opinion to -its centre, teach meto " Be wary and mistrustful; ... The sinew of the soul are these." And, without effort, recall the session of _that defiant convention, which nominated a candidate for President because lie had never won a battle, and then with the un- Jilushing audacity asked the world to be lieve,that a just war was a failure, and that "a cessation of hostilities" was demanded ;by justice, libertv.and humanity! But the Gcd of our fathers. and not the wisdom of man, rescued the - Republic. • Sherman, within -a- month after the Chicago surrender, with the glittering ba yonets ,of his hundred thousand stamped Mr. Vallandigham's utterances as a po litical falsehood. The empire, of liberty moved forward. As we fondly imagined, the reign of peace had come to stay. The kindest and most laving of meri—he who was moat deeply versed in the unwritten -laws of humanity, the trusted, the truest, and most well beloved leader of the nation's cause walked hand in hand with his little ebild unguarded through the streets of Richmond. Not one year ago, upon that wild and awful night in April, Booth's bullet stilled the pulses of that mighty heart. Where was the great criminal ? Mr. President, he lives to-day—not the leading spirit of a lying civilization, comfortable in a case mate of Fortress Monroe, and rejoicingly celebrating the 22dtay of February, in the year of grace IS66—not Alexander EL Ste phens,.who saw "a ray of light" through the Chicago Platform, and now sees another as he complacently refers to President Johnson as his "great standard bearer," and generously hopes that the present policy of restoration may "receive the cor dial support of every well wisher of his country." Elected to the Senate of the United States by an unregenerate rebel constituency who scorned a Constitution under whose shelter they baselyiendeavor again to creep. Mr. Stephens of ‘ Georgia, even promises that the black man may "start equal before the law in the possession and employment of, all rights of personal liberty and oroperty; small thanks for strong deservings ! The Constitutional Amendment gives to the dark-skinned citizens of the Republic a right to be free, therefore in this you yield him nothing. The free black in all the States has, here tofore, enjoyed the right toehold property, and in Maryland he (the colored man) voted with the whites for the Constitution of the United States.' Then if we are just to the VicePresidentof a dead confederacy you yield to the black man who carried a bayo net, or who merged his rights in the will of his master when slavery existed, in name nothing but the bare right to live and hold property—if he can get it! No Mr. Stephens, you still persist is your denial of the rights of man, and in these days there are more simple infidels to man , than infidels to God. No State government has ever been recognized which ostracised a majority,. or any great mass of the people. The right of the State to ostracise a great . mass of free negroes has never been re ' crognized. If this precedent be se now, it is for the first time to be set. When negroes become free, they btcquie a part of the peo ple of the nation, and to ostracise them is to sanction a privilege fatal to American Government. There have been for the bondman two hundred and fifty years of toil; for forty years the African has been the subject of conflict in politics, in the pulpit, and in the Halls of Congress. Wise :men and states xnen,-insisted that servitude was his proper status, Congress declared by solemn reso lution that he should no longer be talked about. But he was talked about. He grew into colossal proportions. The black - man fronted the stars. God raised up (or per mitting the use of the Devil's instruments for his own excellent purposes), such aboli tionists as John C. Breckinridge and Jeffer son Davis. By their avarice and their ambition,seek ing to limit the ends of government to the protection of property, and to blend the lofty commerce of spirit with spirit into the base bargaining of political selfishness,they at last succeeded, against their wills, in breaking the bonds of the slave, while they strove to burst asunder the bonds of the Union. And to-day, thank God, the negro stands -before the world a fixed figure, no longer three-fifths of a man, but a hole man, under• an amended constitution. Ho has rights which a white man is bound to re spect, and if the political Moses at the White House is not yet out of the bulrushes there are 20,000,000 of freemen in the North who have twice dared at the ballot box—in 1560 and four yeArs later-to declare that some ,Moses must be found to lead the long wait ing African through any RediSea over to the prothised land, where he shall, find—after ninety years of bondage—the stone of igno. rance and prejudice rolled away from the sepulchre. There he may walk a freeman whom the truth has made free in the light of a morning which breaks upon a new resurrection of human freedom. But, I have asked, where is the great criminal who menaces the life of the nation? Be lives yet, as he has lived. during the re bellion, corrupting the heart and animating the minds of the men, of wham Mr. SheHe ' barger says; "They planned one,universal . • bonfire of the North from Lake Ontario to 'the Missouri. They murdered by systems -of starvation. and exposure sixty thousand z ,pf your sons, as brave and heroic as ever martyrs were. They destroyed in the five years of horrid war another'army so large - that it would reach almost around the globe in marching; columns; and then to give to the infernal drama a fitting close, and to concentrate into one crime all that is crimi nal in crime and all that is detestable in barbarism, t hey killed. the President of the United States." But the great crime-ina/ died not with the rebellion. - -.We think we exorcised the evil 'spirit from New Jersey last November. That he is utterly dead I beg leave to doubt; but he lives in the nutmeg men of Connecticut who refuse the negro the right to vote, and yet impose upon him the double duties of fight ing for the Union, and paying taxes in red in breaking down a sla.veholder§! re 2. He lives in the swamps of South Caro lina, where black codes are enacted creating slii•very in fact on one hand, while , they pre tend to abolish it in name on the other. . 3. The great criminal lives wherever in high places men shout "this i§ a white man's government;" and it lives and move 3. • and hits a being wherever 'caste' flourishes and tortures its victims with ' the remorse . lessness of the'Spanish - Inquisition. ;Society is, simply, human natureexisting in...combinations !sometimes natural, but , generally,Mtificial. It cannot be 'denied that for half a century the Arne - -Timm Nag= - hay!? not 'been homogenow. , The North might, be properly called the' labor States, and. the South the 'lcapital States. With us labor tookcare of [itself; With them habits of idleness were perfectly con sistent with ideas- of dignity. Labor was menial. They firmly believed in the curse, but not the nobility or labor. My dead, but immortal friend, Henry Winter Davis, himself once a slave-owner and one of the grandest and bravest soldiers who ever fdught for the liberation of hu manity, said of the South: It was resolved to become a power and cease to be merely an interest. It could be tolerated as an in terest; it could not be tolerated as a power, which by political coalition became the dominant power of the Nation (the addition of the great regions of Florida and Louisi ana to the domain of the United States, fired the blood of the supporters with the determination of ruling). It first asserted itself as a power in the great Missouri compromise so long wor shiped by all men as the emblem of our peace.. Texas was its conquest. The com promise of 1890 was the recognition of its equality with freedom in disposing of the fortunes and fate of the nation. The repeal of the Missouri compromise was its assertion, not merely that it was 'a power, but that it had power to rule. The war in Kansas was Its struggle to assert against reluctant people, its right to rule. The Dred Scott decasion was the sanction of its most insolent claims by the supreme judicial authority of the nation, before which bowed every dissenting voice in the South. It has made for itself a permanent home in the Soulti; a home full of ' ideas and argu ments for Its maintenance and advance ment ;. , it seized upon and .taught the doc trine of State rights as one of its bulwarks. (And John C. Calhoun was the wicked and persistent evangelist of this pernicious idea, which when backed by the terrible unity of Southern politicians, and the con scienceless tyranny of executive courts, had well nigh taken the life of American Lib el The Dred Scott decision inculcated sub mission to the local authorities, so that in case of collision the men of the South might prefer their State to the nation. Slavery was first wrong, then excusable, then de fensible, then defended by Scriptural, his torical and political arguments; then advo cated and vaunted as the highest develop,: mbnt of the social organization. Every principle of human reason was confounded in the deliberate attempt to make right of a wrong. It created a new theology, a new history, a new ethnology for itself. They dreaded the intrusive eye of freedom, tolerated it only blindfold, and thus firmly imbued with convictions scientifically and logically wrought with a social system, strong in arguments for its support, at peace with their consciences, given over to believe a lie, a territory equal in area to the greatest empire in the world—filled with an ener getic, brilliant, brave and devoted people. educated in the idea that the State is, supreme and could secede at - will, and that even if the State had not that right, it could sanction, and by its authority, which they were bound to obey, excuse all who, under its bidding took arms against the nation; armed against moral reprobation by pride— strong against the law of the land in arms, in the sympathy of many at the North, in a generation educated and devoted to those ideas for which they were ready to die, they drew the sword, throwing away the scab bard, to assert that slavery is the true corner-stone of freedom. Oh! monstrous lie! But, sir, that corner-stone on which they sought to raise a new empire, now lies crumbled and shattered at the feet of advancing freedom. Shall that shaft be hewn—that architrave be laid again? The empire is dead, but, alas! slavery lives. Its cat-like step walks the courts,and its Judas Benjamins still live on this side of the Atlantic. Its Janus-face and its iron hand encased in a velvet glove, are •softly found peepin g over the cushion of Northern pulpits, and I have beard gentle prayers, whispered in words worthy of Sydney, the sweet Secre tary of Eloquence, in thanks to God for having "converted the Southern heart to loyalty." Marvelous conversion ! Slavery dead! My God ! No, Sir ! No ! Clasping the Bible with handcuffs, and festooning the cross of Christ with chains, it murders in cold blood one President at Ford's theatre on the anniversary of the fall of Fort Sum ter, and on the the anniversary of the day that gave birth to the Father of his Country, at another theatre in Washington, slavery endeavors to clasp its collar around the qierk of another Presid‘nt, while Sunset Cox of Ohio, with graceful mien gets ready a rehearsal of his new play, entitled "CiESAR AND MOSES, OR, CROSSING THE RUBICON! IN A BASKET OF BULRUSHES !" During the performance Vallandigham hangs out his flag and fires a hundred guns! The people do not say "amen." But let as turn to a more agreeable picture; for if we count time by heart-throbs, these have been long and weary days in which we have watched the flank movement of a pro-sla very army with banners, readily recogniz ing a new foe with an old face. We turn from the "nervous man to the men of nerve." But when 'we behold the able and courtly Fessenden, and true hearted Sumner, whose fidelity to principle is to-day, the marvel of two worlds,. we sigh as are forced to the conclusion that J. C. Breckinridge, a - refugee and a traitor,is sup posed to have more power in this Govern ment than Maine or Massachusetts. But, Mr. President, I propose to return to the consideration of the resolutions before the Senate. There never was any jar or discord between generous sentiment and sound policy. Nature never says one thing and wisdom. another. .And - when I advocate an enactment by Congress which will give to every soldier twenty-one years of age, who has served his country since April 14, 1861, the right to vote, without regard to color, I believe such a law would be sanctioned both by good sense and by sound policy. I may be met by the objection that the Constitution is silent upon the question of suffrage, and that this question ought to be left to .the, States themselves. But the Con stitution puts the badge of inequality upon I no one. And shall we? Under the general powers of the Constitution, I believe, that right is clear. That policy which would call the black to i our aid n putting down the rebellion, and then turn him over to the charity of the man whom he fought against, and .who once owned him, must be founded in inequality, injustice and in infinite meanness. you did not wish to have the negro hereafter to enjoy the rights of a man, why did you bring him on the battle-field?" When he could - relieve us from an im pending draft, we did not stop to discuss his right to political privileges then. "If he is their and your equal (and Thomas Jeffer ion said the measure of the black man's talent is no measure of his rights) on the battle-field, in the service of the country, he. is and should be at the ballot-box, and if he is not your equal on the battle-field, then you have cheated the United States, to the injury of the national cause, to save your selves from service." But above all. this question' is not purely a question of justice and humanity. We are bound by Articles IV., Section 4 of the Constitution, - to guarantee to the South a • Republican form of government. Congress has imposed not conferred this paramount There cannot in the nature of things be ,a loyai•majority in the eleven. States in rebel lion - where, you exclude the nameless martyr's of East• Tennessee, there was found no single man to make head against 'a revo lution which very soon, in the !South, was :Si THE DAILY;STENING 'BULLETIN : • PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY ;', : .,14;1MH. 6, 1866; ied by the men who originallyi:opposed it. I tell yon, Sir,'there is nothineehope"and everything to fear from . these States, of which Carl . Schurz, the _President's ap pointed agent, says: • - • - The loyalty of the masses and moat •of ,the leaders of the Southern 'people; con sists in submission to, necessity. There is, except in individual instances, an entire absence of that national spirit which -forms the basis of true loyalty and patriot ism. "The emancipation of the slave is sub mitted to only in so far as chattel slaveryin th eold form could not be kept up. But al though the freedman is no longer considered the property of-the individual master, he is considered the slave of society, and all inde pendent State Legislation will share the tendency to make him such. "The ordinances abolishing slavery, passed by the Convention under the pressure of circumstances, will not be looked upon as barring the establishment of a new form of servitude." Alexander H. Stephens may say on the 22d of February, as he did at the inaugu tion of the rebellion, "My only hope is founded in the virtue, the intelligence and the patriotism of the American people." Statesmen sometimes use words as counters. But if he means to describe, as doubtless he does, the people with whom he lives, what have we to expect of unregene rate rebels whose average civilization is that of the middle ages, and who believed, or assumed to believe, that the laws of war justified starving 66,000 Union prisoners till they died at Andersonville. In the States now represented in Congress we rely upon the educated intelligence of the people, and not upon such blind ser vility as that which followed without ques tion the great Satrap of Slavery till he was captured among the swamps of Carolina, a fugitive in women's apparel. And what can be said of the patriotism of a people who hunger and thirst for the ruin of this Government they have done so much to destroy, a government they have despised and reviled for four years, and now seeking its protection ? they blot from our language the word mankind, which enriches it—a word that never passed the lips of Plato, Aristotle or Socrates. Shame on such pa triotism which tells us, "Come take away these 4,000,000 of God's creatures and expa triate them or they shall suffer extermina tion at our hand in the coming 'war of races.' This is the same spirit that said to Tristram Burgess, 'Td-day, to-day let New England be blotted out.' " Sir, this is first a question of right. Then it is a question of power. It is first a question of morals (for the forces al ways go with the virtues), then it is a ques tion of salvation. We are to choose whether we will have a friendly and a Republican government in eleven States lately in rebel lion,or whether the old oligarchy shall come back into the Union, governing themselves, within a year of the time they pursued us with fire and sword, and more than this, come back with the privilege when aided by discontented partisans in the North, of governing us. lam not an alarmist. Bat 1 have lived among the younger leaders of the rebellion and in the Southern States. I know, their temper, and much as I hate their injustice, I have still a livelier con tempt for that hypocrisy here, which, under the thin guise of a love for the "re stored Union," eagerly waits to strike hands with the men who headed the rebellion at the South, when they say with a terrible show of, truth, "Once more Frect the standard there of ancient right, Yours be the advantage all, mine the revenge And it has come to this, Mr. President, and I speak that I do know when I say that this question of suffrage has become a ques tion ofs-20s and 7-30 s. Southern Senators and members of Congress will never vote to pay the debt created in subjugating them unless you add their debt incurred in the effort to subjugate us. We need the vote of the colored men, and in strengthening the bands of the party of reconstruction it is the right intention, not the philosophic judg ment, which casts the votes. In the South ern States we absolutely need numbers as well as intelligence. But lam met by the objection that the States are in the Union, and must regulate these questions for them selves. If we grant that there is vitality in the rebel State governments; and second, that they have a right to regulate the ques tion of suffrage, then our nrgument is at an end; but we make no such admission. A "State" is defined to be a "body politic." .3 Government, "the persons who administer the law." Well, then, the body politic cannot go out, and has not gone out of the Union, but since the Supreme Court, the recognized arbiter of conflict between a State and Federal authority, by the voice of all its judges, has unanimously declared that from the 13th day of July, 1861, a civil territorial war has existed between the United States and the Confederate States, since such war bas‘existed, the State Gov ernments—the persons who administer the laws ARE outside of the pale 'Of the Consti tution, because they become belligerents and enemies of the United States. These State Governments) then, have ceased to exist. Their suspended animation will know no revival. • They ceased to exist in law when they renounced the Constitution. They ceased to exist in fact because such govern ments were expelled by force of arms. If the President of the United States counts heads and calls that the people, he at once takes the power from Congress, for it is the joint action of the House of Representa tives, Senate and Executive which consti tute Congress, and places it in the Execu tive, where it does not properly It That point has been ably put thus: I ask that gentlemen will go and read that great argument of Daniel Webster in the Rhode Island case before the Supreme Court of the United States, where he met this semi-re volutionary attempt to count heads and call that the people, and maintained, and so the Supreme Court judged, when it refused to take jurisdiction of the question, that the great political law of Americans that every change of government shall be conducted under the supervising authority of some existing legislative body, throwing the pro tection of law around the polls, defining the rights of voters, protecting them in the ex ercise of the elective franchise, guarding against fraud, repelling violence and ap pointing arbiters to pronounce the result, and declare the persons chosen by the people, and we say greatly to the honor of the American people, it would take him to 'the going down of the sun to enumerate the in stances in which almost every Constitution in the United States hai been changed, with out one ever having been changed by a revolutionary process, notunder the eyes of law, • not guided by pre-existing political authority. • He maintained it to be the great fundamental principle of the American Gov ei nment that legislation shall guide every political change, and that it assumes that somewhere in the United States there is always a permanent organized legal author ity which shalt guide the tottering foot-steps of those who seek to restore governments which are disorganized and broken down. We have then, Mr. President, governments disorganized and broken down. What will we do with them? Before I answer that question I shall summon one to whom - public law is less in debted, but who wrote a:century later, that Vattel may reiterate with• more precision, that "A civil war breaks the bands of society and government, or at least suspends their force and effect;it prodpces in the nation two independent parties; who considering, each other as enermes,acknowledge 'no common • judge. • Thesetwo parties, therefore, must necessarily be considered as constituting', at least for a time, two distinct societies." Need 1 appettito Riqueltna who deelaree that "when a part of a state takes hp arms against the government, if it is sufficiently strong to resist its action; - arid :to constitute two;parties; of equally balanced forces, the existence of ciyil war is thenceforward de ter Mined. If the conspirators against the government have not the means of assum ing this position their _movement does not, pass beyond a rebellioE. As true civil war breaks the bonds of society by dividing it in fact into two independent societies, it is for this consideration that we treat of it in in ternational law, since each party forming as it were a separate nation,both should be re garded as subject to the laws of war. This subjection to the law of nations is the more necessary in civil wars since these by nour ishing more hatred and resentment than foreign wars require more the execution of the law of nations in order to moderate their ravages." In God's government as well as in every wise human government . the enforcements of obligation are'coupled with and insepara blelrota the enjoyment of rights. With 'what show of reason can people administer ing governments in place of those extin guished by war claim the rights and powers of a State under a Constitution which they have for four years scorned, divided, des pised, rejected? After destroying that army which I have said in solid column would nearly reach around the globe, they would modestly ask the conqueror for leave to submit, for their own approval, the laws under which they desire to hold their property and enjoy every right undisturbed, as if there had never been any rebellion. Dare we trust implicitly that these men will with cheerful resignation come back under a flag which they hate, but which we lovp, ten thousand times better than ever, because every stain on its sacred folds has been washed white in the blood of the brave? And when I contemplate the solemn ques -1 ions of the hour, when I stand astonished at the indecent haste with which red-handed rebellion pleading most piteously of its new born love for the Constitution; and when I see men in high places "wincing under Southern thunder," just as we have winced, and wincing yielded, for eighty-seven years, then I begin to tremble for my country. It is no solace for our fears that Mr. Alex ander Stephens so recently said: "Should all the States be brought back to their prac tical relations under the Constitution, we shall have left the essentials of free govern ment contained and embodied in the old Constitution untouched and unimpaired." If they get back on their ;own terms, they themselves have predicted that the next war willbe inside of the Union for Southern rights. I may be excused from trusting too far these gift bearing Greeks! I fail to discern that candor in the late Vice President's care fully prepared oration spread upon the jour nals of both Houses of-the Georgia Legisla ture,which so touchingly turned the periods of his last and most eloquent plea for the Union of our fathers in 1660. I would recall to:his mind his Milledge ville letter in which he said more than four years ago: "If everything else has to go down let our untarnished honor, at least, survive the wreck." Sir. Southern - honor did not survive the 14th day of April. it becomes us to meet these questions without passion, but with that courage which is often the loftiest prudence. The supreme hour for the nation has struck. If we are just and fear not, we can touch the men so eager for the power they voluntarily abandoned, that 'Conquer ing may prove as lordly and complete a thing, "In lifting upward as In crashing low." If the conflict which is to decide whether the neat:* we have won by the sword is worth having aad has come to stay, if that conflict must come, let it come. Let it come now, for with God's help and man's fidelity we will never, never be recreant to the trust sanctified to us and to the world by the valor of the dead, and dear to us all by the sacrifices made by the living. We cannot, we will not, we dare not omit to do that which the safety of the Union require= The statesman is never regardless of conse quences. But the man who it true to him self and just to others accepts all conse quences which follow the discharge of public duty. As fortftnyself I belong neither to the party of Cresar nor Brutus. America will never be cursed with a Dictator, and assassination does not thrive since the days of the Roman Senate. We are engaged in a conflict of ideas nobler and more far reaching than the clash of bayonets. If Congress does not give us Manhood Suffrage we will have an Amendment to thP Constitution prohibiting representation except upon the basis of those who are enti tled to vote. The deep throbbing of the popular heart cannot be balked in its pur pose. If Ido not live to see it, my children will live to see the day when no man shall be ostracized or deprived of his political rights on account of his complexion. A democracy and an aristocracy of sentiment and manners I can understand. But a Democracy of Laws which compels the able bodied to bear arms and pay taxes, but pro hibits the able-minded from having either vote or voice in the policies which control them is a monstrosity in legislation, a false hood in politics, and a sandy foundation for a Republic. My soul expands to the altitude to which its Divine Author intended it to expand when I contemplate my country, often baf fled arid often defeated, but finaily triumph ing over all her oppressors. In the eye of my mind I behold the granite base from which rise the pillars of Constitutional, Republican and. Universal Liberty in America. The foundation is broader and its pillars more beautiful by far than the Grecian Parthenon, upon whose snowy tront the sunsets of two thousand years have left their golden stain; and upon this granite rock, baptized in the blood of our best and bravest, will be written by each succeeding generation,in letters of light,that imperish able truth of history: THERE Is NO POWER WITHOUT JUSTICE.
