City Fruit Company. Adjourned. Serenade to Speaker Colfax. Speaker Colfax was• serenaded last night znt his residence, by citizens of Indiana, who bad already been paying a like compliment to Senator Lane, of that State. Mr. Colfax,inacknowledging the compli ment, said: I have no doubt that you, like myself, re joice with exceeding great joy, and are prouder to-day of being citizens of this _great country than ever before. There was a time in this land of ours when slavery was regarded as the cornerstone of American in stitutions. Thank God that time has passed, _and we build henceforth on a foundation of liberty. [Applause.] To-day, under the legislation of the Ameri can Congress in the great republic, shaped ley the geography of a continent and washed . by the water of the two great oceans of the .globe, there is no person, rich or poor, high -or humble, learned or unlearned, who does not live in security under the protection of -equal laws. [Applause.] lam prouder to -.day, also, of the great Union organization of which I have been a member, than ever :before. Its history is nobly written in the .history of our country. Administrations --and Congresses and parties may pass away, but the record which the great party has made will shine with brighter glory on our .country's pages than any other in the annals -.of. our history. When the great rebellion broke oat, and when our ship of state rocked in a fearful :storm and was threatened by a', terrible mutiny, the Union organization stood tin :flinchingly by our noble Presiditnt, the martyred Lincoln, in his determintaion to -crush the conspiracy and preserve the Gov - ernrnent intact: and when it was Prophe sied to us by false tongues, who at the same time shouted "no coercion," that thetrebel :lion could not be subjugated, the tnion loving people of the country, formingsts mighty phalanx, determined that it sieuld -be! When your armies needed rein forcements they took voluntarily von -themselves the odium of conscription tsws :and draft, because they were necessarylor the country. When the Area:3l4y .needed to be filed they took urn themselves the responsi bility and o Juin of tax laws, that our flag might be k pt flying in the field. They did this relying upon the justice of their cause and went before the people and triumphed. The enactments of that great party are un impeachable. In 1862, the capital was dis graced by slavery, but they determined that henceforth it should be free, and with un wavering fidelity to principle they placed upon the statute book that law which never can be and never shall be repealed, that in this capital should be no slave. [ kpplause.] In 1863 our noble and great-hearted Pres ident issued his proclamation of emancipa tion, striking with the battle axe of the Union that powerful element of rebel strength, and the Union party of the coun try stood by him, determined to give that proclamation vitality, as they did by an in dorsement of the people in the winter of 1864 and 1865, when the Constitutional amendment was prop sed in the Congress of the United States, banishing slavery for ever from the country as an unclean thing, and declaring that henceforth and forever it should be the home of the free. That great organization again, and uni tedly rallied to its support and passed that amendment on the statute book, and it is now the supreme law of the land. Again in the great year 1866, in the Senate Cham ber and in the Representative Hall they have placed by overwhelming majorities that Civil Rights bill on your statute book which declares that every one born on Ame rican soil shall have a birth-right as an American citizen. That law, misrepre sented as it has been, by its opponents in Congress, will never be repealed, and in the years that are coming it will be the proudest recollection and the crowning honor of those men who stood up in the National Councils, that they gave to that American Magna Charta their cordial support. And why should there be objections to a law like that? Everyone born on the soil of the Republic owes to it allegiance, and is it not the recip rocal duty of the Republic to give to them its protection? Henceforth wherever in this land a person shall be oppressed or out raged, or his rights withheld; wherever ty ranny may shake its sceptre over him, he 4as but to turn to the national flag and to the National Government for that protection which the Congress of the United States has ordained as his right. [Applause.] We are sometimes asked (and I know with what solicitude the American people regard it) why the work of reconstruction has been delayed. Ido not think it has been unreasonably delayed. The President of the United States, in eight months, between the collapse of the rebellion and the opening of this Congress, was engaged in the work, in that policy which seemed to him the most fitting; and this Congress has been engaged for the past four months in collecting testimony, in comparing opinions, and in action, to lay the foundations of that plan of reconstruc tion which shall make our Union eternal as the ages. [Applause.] But they have already in past years initiated a policy of reconstruction. In 1862 they placed on the statute book the first law indicating their policy of reconstruction. The law known as the test oath, declaring that no man should be eligible for any Federal office who could not swear that he had not voluntarily borne arms against the Union, and had not voluntarily given aid and comfort to bloody conspiracy and trea son. That law was well understood by the American people South as well as North. No one expected that then, when the rebellion had its armies in the field against the Union any one would come knocking at the doors of Congress claiming to represent the States of Alabama,Georgia, Mississippi, South and North Carolina, Florida or Texas; but it was believed that, when the rebellion should end, the men who had insultingly turned their backs on Congress and spurned their seats, who had killed the Union defenders and sought to capture this Capital, would, with the assu rance of olden times, demand that they should govern the country which they j htud ineffectually attempted to ruin, an that test oath was placed there, as the flaming sword at the gate of Eden,-to warn such men that, till there 'were fruits meet for repentance or bonds for future good be havior, there was no place in these precincts for them. [Cheers.] Again, the policy of reconstruction was indicated by Congress in the winter of 1864 and 1865, when it passed • nearly unani mously, and without the yeas and nays, a joint resolution that the Vice President in counting the Presidential votes should not count the electoral votes of any State that had been engaged in the rebellion. That was intended to proclaim that until Con gress removed their disqualification ' by laws restoring them to their right, they should stand back. Congress has, therefore, by these tw' striking enactments, indicated its policy of reconstruction. But the Constitution has, in still plainer !anguage, declared where the responsibility of reconstruction should rest. It has de clared that every State shall be guaranteed a republican form of government, and in a subsequent section it declares that Congress' shall have power to make all laws necessary and proper to carry into execution all the powers vested in it, or in any department or officer of the Government. This was intended to declare that Congress is the only law making power of this land, and by the Con stitution, to Congress, and to it alone, must we look for legalized reconstruction. The President of the Union, in hiS procla mation last May, appointing Provisional Governors, .declared that the States which had been in rebellion, were without civil government. That was a fact as palpable as the stars when they shine in the heavens. My regret *for I must speak frankly to-night —that Congress was not at that time called together. I believe it )iyould have hastened the work of reconstruction. I believe that Congress, and the President by his approval of their legislation, would have united last summer on a policy of reconstruction, which would have been acceptable to both branches of the Government, and in which the South, seeing this concurrent action, would have acquiesced. The Constitution of the United States de clares that the President, on extraordinary occasions, may convene Congress, and it has always seemed to me that last April was an extraordinary occasion. The Presi dent of the United States had been mur dered by a rebel conspirator, and the Vice President had assumed the Presidential functions. Tha rebellion had seen its flag trampled in the dust and its armies had surrendered. It seemed to me that if ever there was an extraordinary occasion this was one; but the President, and I recognize his full constitutional authority to decide the question, deemed that it was not expe dient to call Congress together, and went on himself with the work of reconstruction. I believe he entered upon and proceeded with that work patriotically, and that he thought, as an experiment, it would be well to test it before Congress reassembled. I am confirmed in this belief by the messages which he sent to the Governors of Florida and Mississippi, stating that their restora tion would depend on Congress, and I do not think it resulted in developing loyalty at the South. Congress at last convened on the first Monday in December last. It could not convene earlier, for it had no power to meet until its regular session, unless convened by the President. It appointed a committee to examine the condition of the late Con federate States, and it was only one short month ago that it received official docu ments from the Executive Department which enabled it to know what. transpired during the long recess of Congress; and now, at last, it is able to do it intelligently, with some official knowledge of the situa tion. You will ask' me, perhaps, what is my policy of reconstruction. THE DAILY .EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1866. I will tell you in a very few words. It is the policy of reconstrne4on laid down by Andrew Johnson with such emphasis and earnestness in his speeches made to the public between the month of June, 1864, and the month of May, 1865. [Cheers.] I in dorse the sentiments proclaimed by him in Nashville the night he was nominated as Vice President, by him in the Capitol the day when the news of the surrender of Lee's army was received, and indorse the senti ments uttered by him to various commit tees upon his entering on the Presidency. I learned these sentiments from him, and cannot unlearn them now. I believed them then, and I believe in them still. They showed his construction of the Baltimore platform, and, higher still, of his feelings of duty to the country. His radical speeches in Tennessee were indorsed by his election, and I stand by those declarations! Yet they can be condensed into one -single sentence, and that itt—"Loyal men should govern a preserved Republic. [Cheers], I stand by that doctrine; the Congress of the United States stands by that doctrine; it will prevail and in the policy of reconstr notion which shall be adopted, if we are faithful to our selves, if we are faithful to the country; if we are faithful to the brave menwho went forth from their happy homes to die for the salva tion of the country. We will proclaim in our legislation, as Andrew Johnson proclaimed at Nashville, "Loyal men shall govern a preserved Re public." Loud and continuous cheering was in dulged in fofsome time, and some one called for three cheers for Andrew Johnson. The band and the Indianians accompanying them then visited the other members of the Indiana delegation, serenading them and hearing speeches from each, which were en thusiastically applauded. The Senate, in Executive session, con firmed the following nominations: D. W. Ballard, of Oregon, to be Governor of Idaho, in the place of Caleb Lyon, and R. C. McCormick,of Arizona,to be Governor of Arizona; M. Hallett, Chief Justice; U. B. Holloway, to be Marshall, and Frank Hall, to be Secretary of the Territory of Colorado, J. P. F. Carter, of Tenn.
