XXXIXth Congress—First Sewsion.

[CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDIItia.S.]
• • •• ••-. •
SENATE.—At one o'clock the Chair an
nounced that the morning hour had expired,
and the bill under consideration was made
the special:order for Monday, at half-past
twelve o'clock. - - _
The constitutional amendment -..0n the
subject of representation was then taken up.
Mr. Fessenden, taking- the floor on the
pending amendment, said he :regretted as
sincerely as - the Senator from Maisabhu
setts (Mr. Sumner) that he found: it neces
sary for him to say something again •upon
the question under consideration. He did
not intend, however, to present again the
argnnaent he bad already made. Something
had been said, and some grounds taken by
honorable Senators which, in his judgment,
required a short reply. He had always be
lieved it to be a matter of statesmanship,
when an object that was valuable in itself
was unattainable, to come as near attaining
'lto possible. It was with views something
like this actuated by, considerations of this
description, that.the committee, of which he
had the honor to be •a - member, presented
the resolution now Under consideration. As
I before stated, said. Mr. Fesseaiden, it was
not all that was wished. It‘was not in some
-gditiculars exactly:what they: might 'have
&aired. So far as.my own judgment was
Concerned, I considered the resolution de
; feetive. It was not defective in . principle.
I think the principle safe and wise. But I
"think it falls short of what ought to be at
tained,-and I think, too, that as it is drawn
it maybe liable to evasion, and that it may
not accomplish' What upon its face it might
be presumed to do. •
TheSenatorfromlndiana(Mr.Hendricks),
in the address,whichhe made upon this sub
ject, commented severely upon an expres
sion used me on a former occasion, that
as I could not accomplish directly what I
wished to accomplish—which was to bring
about a state of things that would allow the
ballot to such colored men as were proper
persons to - exercise it—and since I could not
accomplish it directly,by abolishing all dis
tinctions of color, I •was willing to reach it
by this; resolution, which, in my judgment,
would, after a series of *ears,greater or less,
accomplish the same purpose indirectly.
He asks me very distinctly whether it is
proper to accomplish by indirection that
which we could not accomplish by direction.
I have yet to learn that where a legislator
avows his purpose, states what he wishes
to accomplish and the mode by which he
- Wishes to accomplish it, that he is to be
charged with indirection, which conveys
the idea of contriving to do something by
taking advantage of measures to do in a co
vert way what you cannot do openly. If I
may be allowed to say so, when the Saviour
of the world came upon earth he found
abuses, many errors, many corruptions ex
isting, which he would gladly have termi
nated at once. He (lid not deem it wise or
prudent to attempt to put themdowh by the
strong arm, for as a mortal he had not the
Power to do it; but he laid down a set of
principles, a set of instructions which, if
they became acceptable Co the people, and
were finally taken as a - rule of action,would
inevitably, by the effect produced on the
minds of men, tend to destroy all those cor
ruptions and make the world what it should
be. The action of such legislation, if I may
call it so, was not direct but indirect, and.
I have yet to learn that it was not only wise
but well calculated to effect the object in
view, and that was the improvement of the
world.
• Mr. Fessenden then remarked that he had
no more to say on this point. He wished
simply to rid himself of the imputation
which the Senator from Oregon (Mr. Hen
. dricks) seemed to desire to cast upon him
for using the expression to which he had
referred. He adhered to the same position,
and thought, in regard to the present ques
tion, that it was better to accomplish the ob
jqctbi indirection than by force. The ques
tion is a great one, involving the right of
suffrage to a large number of people. Many
of them may not be fit to exercise that right
to-day, and many of them that, may not be
fit now. may become fit to exercise it in the
process of time, when they shall have en
joyed their fr4e'dom and received instruc
tion. This proposition aims to accomplish
its object kindly, mildly, and not at once by
forcible means, against all the prejudices
and habits of the people with whom the
race sought to be enfranchised are con
nected. This would be better in my judg
ment, and tend more to the peace of the
community and the safety of the nation. I
would say to the Senator from Indiana that
if it can be accomplished by the indirect ac
tion of an amendment to the Constitution
which appeals to the interest of those who
have hitherto been and are now the ruling
class among this large population, it will
be far • better than to run the, risk of all the
difficulties that may arise from, forcible
means, which would create bad feeling and
general prejudice, perhaps undying ani
mosity. Mr. Fessenden next referred - to the
assertion of Mr. Hendricks, that the pro
posed amendment was intended for party
p_urposes. Mr. Hendricks, he said, had no
right to attack the motives of a committee
. of this body, or of the gentlemen who sup
-port the amendment. It would as well be
' come him (Mr. Fessenden) to say that Mr.
Hendricks opposed it for none but party
purposes as tor Mr. Hendricks to say that
it was only aupported for party purposes.
Mr, Hendricks interrupted Mr. Fessen
den to say, that ;,he was justified in saying
the measure was urged on partisan grounds
because the' chairman of the committee in
the House (Mr. Stevens) in urging its pas
sage, did so ~on partisan grounds ' and ad
mitted as much in his speech. He (Mr. He
ndricks) had quoted Mr. Stevens's language,
in which that gentleman said awes neces
stay' to pass the' amendmnt to - secure the
perpetuity of the party of e U
\ I
ltima. This,
Mr. Hendricks said, 'was th language used
by one class of gentlemen to designate
. , their own political party. .
..5..., Mr. Fessenden said he remembered very
, well that • Mr., Hendricks had quoted Mr.
--- Stevens's remarks. • He could say that his
4 . = gloss was entirely unjustifiable;. The words
"Party of the Union," were used in no
party sense. Does not - the Senator belong
'to it? ' '
%Mr. Hendricks—l think I do, but I do not
•;belong to the political party that calls it
:self, the Union party, which opposes the
"admission of the Southern States into the
Union.
Mr. Fessenden said he might have had
tVouhrie doubt some time ago about Mr..Hen
-Ideas-belonging to this Union party, but
41- 418 could' have none now, since he (Mr,
Henricks) said so. It was very strange
how`'everything ran into party considers•
tions in :Mr. Hendricks's mind, though
'some, Senators, 'could think of such
matters without party.
Fessenden, after replying to Mr.
Hendrick's assertion that the amendment
was intended as a punishment to the South
er,n, people, referred to the speech of Mr.
liuckidew,•eight. papes out. of SiXteell of
:which were devoted to, abuse of New Eng
landeight pages devoted' to showing that
New England has too much- power' in the
Seityte and in the -country, and that this
bower dila influence ought to' be - abridged ;

,Thsyriinterical power of New England in
itinTrenitfdi amounting to twelve, might,
with ttiV Aid Of 0 - 0 ox two, carry a measure,
if all present, in a minimum quorum.-
Judging from the patriotism of New Engs
land, there could be no great danger to the
country if she should. The Secretary of
State tells a story about "Mrs. 'Poodles"'
door plate marked Thompson being handy
in the house. Such was the repeated change
in argument against the political power of
New -England. He did not expect-the
amendment could pass. The necessary
votes could not be had, though the majority
of.votes in the. Senate must be in flavor of it,.
, Mr." - Fessenden referred to - the - quotations
Of Mr. Sumner from Coke, Locke and Otis,
asking whether, when they uttered or wrote
the sentenceahe quoted. from, them to indi
cate universal suffrage, whether in Cokeis
or Locke's time either, under the British
Constitution, Englishmen all .Voted, and
whether, spite of his • remark, is not asclass
exclusion in Massachusetts operating
against those who may not be able to read,
though they be twenty-one years, of age, in
conformity with the sole condition that had
been specified in the quotation' from Otis.
Now, though bY . limitation dtendant upon
their own exclusiveness of act, the Southern
States, through this amendment, would be
shorn of a part of its representation, they
would be representefijust as they, might
choose to be. The choice was with them
and they would' being so represented,
be taxed to bear the burdens of the govern
ment's debts and expenditures. The charge
of immorality and traffic had been made by
the Senator from Ma:s,sachusettkagairist the
committee, against the majority of, the
House and the Senate—but no man stood
upon the opiniion of. a heated controversi
alist.
Mr. Fessenden was satisfied to stand with
the press and the people and the majority of
both Houses, under the denunciation of the
Senator frorn Massadhusetts.
Mr. Sumner said, there is a familiar story
- Which Senators cannot have forgotten, of a
shield suspended in the highway and two
travelers coming to it from opposite quarters
undertook to read the inscription upon it.
each read it differently, and each looking
the other in the face, insisted he was right,
and straightway there was a contest, which
ended in a battle. But at last it was dis
covered that the shield had two different in
scriptions on its two sides. That is the pre
cise character of the measure before us. It
is as a shield with two different expressions
on itslwo different sides. The Senator from
Maine sees on it only the limitation of the
political power of the South. I approved
it, and I see, sir, the disfranchisement of a
race, and the recognition of caste in the
Constitution of the country. The
Senator defends what he sees;l oppose what
I see. Now, sir, it is the misfortune of the
present proposition that it has two
sides with opposite inscriptions. At this
moment of our country's history, at this
transcendent period of solemn political
obligations, we aro summoned above all
things to be sincere, frank, truthful, loyal,
to do nothing,in a double sense, especially
on that most important act, the introduction
into the Constitution of our country of any
words that can be interpreted in a douole
sense. It is not necessary for me to say that
the Senator from Maine is wrong, though I
think he is wrong in his interpretation of
the Constitution and of the amendment. It
is enough that I say that the proposition
that he defends is open to this, that is the
shield with the two sides and different
inscriptions on the two sides. I have papers
on my table from which I might illustrate
this idea, but I have no right take the time;
it is now three o'clock. But the question is
as to the doublesense. I shall not trespass
long. The Senator from Maine sees the
proposition one way to-day; I see it another
way. But, sir, I have already, in this dis
cussion, referred to a memorial offered by
the editor of the Boston Recorder, in which
he interpreted it as I do. He regarded it as
a disfranchisement of a race, and inconsist
ent with the declared principles of the Dec•
laration of Independence.
I have in my hand another document,
from a very difierent person,whom I cannot
name without great respect—one of the
original abolitionists of the land—one of the
old guard which has done so much to ma
ture that opposition to slavery which has at
last triumphed—one who, from the firing
upon Fort Sumter, has seen all things with
a clearness of vision unsurpassed—Mr. Ger
ritt Smith; of New York.
Mr. Sumner then read atgreat length from
the late publication of Gerritt Smith, regard
ing the amendment under consideration,
and closed his remarks by a reiteration of
the objections he had already stated in
this discussion.
Mr. Wilson, at the conclusion of Mr. Sum
ner's remarks, said there was no man f. )l
whose motives he had more respect than for
Gerritt-Smith, but he could not forget that
that gentleman, holding to the theory that
the Constitution of the United States did not
permit the existence of slavery within the
United States, when it was proposed to
amend the Constitution, and make it for
ever impossible that there should be a slave
in America—that gentlemen, influenced by
that theory that he himself and a few other
gentlemen had held for years, publicly op
posed the amendment to the Constitution.
Congress, however, not holding to that
theory, proposed an amendment to the Con
stitution forbidding slavery, and the Ameri
can people sanctioned that amendment. It
is in the Constitution of the country, and
slavely has forever ceased to exist in
America. Now when the authority of
Gerritt Smith is brought into this Senate to
guide our action, I remind the Senate and
the country of his action on the constitu
tional amendment, and I ask the Senate
and the country where in - God's name would
the slaves of the country be if the councils
of Gerritt Smith had been followed?
Mr. Wilson then compared the party who
with Mr. Sumner opposed the pending
amendment, to the party who with Gerritt
Smith, opposed the constitntional amend
ment two years ago.
The question being called for, the Chair
stated that it was upon the adoption of Mr.
Henderson's amendment, which is to sub
stitute for the pending amendment the fol
lowing : No State, in presenting the quali
fications requisite for elections therein, shall
discrinainate against any person on account
of color or race.
Mr.Pfenderson made a few remarks, in
the course of which he said the Legislature
of Missouri would ratify the above within
twenty-four hours after its passage in Con
<sress.
_Mr. Sumner—So will Massachusetts and
everyloyal State. [Laughter.]

: The next< question- was in the following

Mr. Clark moved to amend by adding the
following proviso:

scent or condition; shall - be - excluded from

- The question was then taken upon the
proposition of the Committee, Mr. Clark
having withdrawn 'his amendment, given
above.
The joint resolution,. as It dame from the
House, is,as follows 7 _ . , •
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Re
presentatives of the of Ame
rica, in. Congress assembled, two-thirds of,
both Houses concurring, That the following

cluding Indians not taxed. Provided, that
whE never the elective-franchise shall be de
nied or abridged in any State on account of

The Chair announced that the joint reso
lution, having; received less than a two
thirds vote, had failed.
Mr. Henderson moved a reconsideration
of the above vote, which motion prevailed.
This brought the joint resolution again
before the Senate, and
Mr. Doolittle offered the following amend
ment: That the following articles be pro
posed to the Legislatures of the several
States as an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, which, when ratified
by three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall
be valid as part of said Constitution, viz.:
"After the census to be taken in the year
eighteen hundred and seventy, and each
succeding census, representatives shall be
apportioned among the several States which
may be included within this Union accord
ing to the number in each State of male
electors over twenty-one years of age, qual
ified by the laws thereof to chooso members
of the most numerous branch of its Legis
lature, and direct taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States, according to the
value of the real and personal and taxable
property situated in each State not belong
ing to the State or to the United States.
At six o'clock, on motion of Mr.
Fessenden, the further consideration
of the question was postponed to Thursday.
The Senate then adjourned to Monday.

cussion on the Senate bill to protect all per

THE SHAD FISHERIES.—Shad have once
more appeared in our markets and on our
tables—or, at least, on the tables of those
who can afford to pay for them. Very in
ferior fish, small and watery in flavor, are
sold for fifty cents each, while those of good
size bring one dollar. The fish now in mar
ket are said to dome from the rivers and
sounds of North Carolina. As yet, they are
very far from plentiful, and areby no means
fine flavored. Before the war, our market
was far better supplied with this dainty fish
than at preient. Within a few days, how
ever, the first arrival of Delaware shad may
be expected, to be followed by the North
and Connecticut river fish,.which are much
larger and fuller flavored than those coming
from the Southern coast.
The principal shad fisheries are in the
Connecticut, Liudson, Delaware, Potomac,
and Cheeepeake rivers. At the commence
ment of spring the fish ascend, the rivers to
deposit their spawn, and it is after this pro
cess has been completed that the fishing
season aornmences. Those that cannot, be
brought fresh to market are salted to the
great, detriment of their flavor. The shad,
tclosa,) is supposed to be of the same species
as the herring, , and, like that ,fish, is re
mar,liably shy; unlike it, howeverc it asr
.cends rivers• and deposits its spawn in (reel)
,water. ~,The shad is usually caught in seines,
and is.found up the North River as. far as
Albany. It is estimated_ that $100,090 worth
are annually taken below the ; Highlands,
The fishermen, however, complain that
steam navigation has greatly injured rtheif
trade, the hap being scared avvay.by. the
.noise,of the paddles,; and. that the , catall is
annually deereftsing.N.•Y. Terries
