The Bepublican PeHoy. Vindicated,
AN EXHAUSTIVE ARGUMENT
MR. PIZESIIII , 2qT: If I had not beer/ referred to
ly inv honorable friend from Wisconsin (Mr.
Doolittle) in the debate yesterday
,I should not
desire to speak on this question. eSpecially at
this time. I fear that I shall not have the
strength to say , what I wish to.
'I he issue here to-day is the same which pre
vails throughout the country, which will be the
issue of this canvass, and perhaps for years to
come. To repeat what I have had occasion to
say elsewhere, it is between two paramount ideas,
each struggling for.. the supremacy. One is, that
the war to suppress the rebellion was right and
just on ourpart; that the rebels forfeited their
civil and political rights,and'can only bo restored
to dam upon such conditions as the
nation may prescribe for its future safety and
prosperity. The other idea is that the re
bellion was not sinful, but was right; that those
engaged in it forfeited no rights, civil or politi
cal and have a right to take charge of their
State governments and be restored to their re
presentation in Congress just as if there had
been no rebellion and nothing had occurred. The
Immediate issue before the Senate now is between
thtSexisting State governments established under
the Iprolley of the President of the United States
in a rebel States and the plan of reconstruction
presented by Congress.
When a surveyor first enters a new territory he
endeavors to ascertain the exact latitude and lon
gitude of a given spot, and froin that can safely
min his survey; and so I will endeavor to ascer
tain a proposition in this debate upon which both
parties are agreed and start from that proposi
tion. That proposition is, that at the end of the
war, in the spring of 1865, the rebel States were
without State governments of any kind.
Thb loyal ' State governments existing at
the beginning of the war had been
overturned by the rebeli; the rebel
State governments erected during the war had
been overturned by our armies, and at the end
of the war there were no governments of any
kind existing in those States. This fact was re
cognized distinctly by the President of the United
States in his proclamation under which the work
of reconstruction was commenced in North Car
olinain 1865, to which I beg leave to refer. The
others were mere copies of this proclama
tion. In that proclamation he says:
And 'whereas ,
the rebellion, which has been
waged by a portion of the people of the United
states against the properly constituted authori
ties of the Government thereof, in the most via
lent and revolting form, but whose organized and
armed forces have now been almost entirely over
come, has in its revolutionary progress deprived
the people of the State of North Carolina of all
civil government:
Here the President must be allowed to speak
for hie party, and I shall accept this as a propo
sition agreed upon on both sides; that at the end
of the war there were no governments of any
/find existing in those States.
The fourth section of the fourth article of the
Constitution declares that "the United'States
shall guarantee to every State in this Union a re
publican form of government." This provision
contains a vast undefined power that has never
yet been ascertained—a great supervisory power
given to the United States to enable them to
cep the States in their orbits, to preserve
them in anarchy, revolution and rebellion. The
measure of power thus conferred upon the
Government of the United States can only be
determined by that which is requisite to guar
antee or maintain in each State a legal and re
publican form of government. Whatever power,
therefore, may be necesary to enable the Govern
ment of the United States thus to maintain in
each State a republican form of government is
conveyed by this provision.
Now, Mr. President, when the war ended and
these tates were found without governments of
any kind, the jurisdiction of the United States,
under this provision of the Constitution, at once,
attached; the power to reorganize State govern
ments, to use the common word, to reconstruct,
to maintain and guarantee republican
State governments in those States ; at
once attached under this provision. Upon
this proposition there is also a concur
rence of the two parties. The President has dis
tinctly recoguized the application of this clause
of the Constitution. He has recognized the fact
that its jurisdiction attached when those States
were found without republican State govern
ments, and he himself claimed to act under this
clause of the Constitution. I will read the pre
amble of the President's proclamation:
Tr/wises, The fourth section of the fourth
article of the Constitution of the United States
declares that the United States shall guarsutee to
every State in the Union a republican form of
government. and shall protect each of them
against invasion rind domestic violence; and
wh, r, as, The President of the United States is by
the Constitution made Commander-in-Chief of
the army and navy, as well as chief civil ex
ecutive officer of the United States, and is bound
by solemn oath faithfully to execute the
ollice of President of the United States,
and to take care that the laws be faith
fully executes]; and Irks/was, The rebel
lion which has been waged by a portion of the
people of the United States against the properly
constituted authorities of the Government
thereof in the most violent and revolting form,
but whose organized and armed forces have now
been almost entirely overcome, has, in its revo
lutionary progress, deprived the people of the
State of NorthGarolina - of:allseivii - sgovemment;
one win reae, it becomes necessary and proper to
carry out and enforce the obligations of the
people of the United States to the people of
North Carolina in 'securing them in the enjoy
ment, of a republican form ofgovernment.
I read this, Mr. President, for the purpose of
allowing that the President of the United States,
in his policy of reconstruction, started out with
a distinct recognition of the applicability of this
clause of the Constitution, and that he based his
system of reconstruction upon it. It is true
that he recites in this proclamation that he is
the Commander-in-Chief of the army of the
United States ; btit at the same time he puts
his plan of reconstruction not upon'thn exer
cise of the military power which is called to its
aid, hot on the execution of the guarantee pro
vided by the clause of the Constitution to which
1 have referred. lie appoints a Governor for
North Carolina and for these other States, the
office being civil in its character, but military in
its collects. This Governor has all the power of
one of the district commanders, and, in fact, far
greater power than was conferred upon General
.Pope or General Sheridan, or any general in
command of a district, for it further provided:
That the military commander of the department
and all oilleera and persons In the mili
tary and naval esrvice,ald and assist the said Pro
visional Governor in carrying into effect this proc
lamation.
We are then agreed upon the second propo
sition, that the power of the United States to
reconstruct and guarantee republican forms of
government at once applied when these Stites
were found In the condition in which they
were at the end of the war. Then, sir, being
agreed upon these two propositions. we arc
la ought to the question as to the proper form
of exercising this. power and by whom it shall
he excielsed. The Constitution says that "the
Unitt d States shall guarantee to every State iu
this ULIon a republican form ()I' gnvernMent."
by the phra9c •'United States" here is meant the
Gov( rnment of the United States. The United
States ean only
~ act through— the • 114 evi'Melwt-•
snd' he thinse'iVeuld mean, precisely the saine
thug if it recd "Tie; Governuient.,of the United
States shall guarantee to every- State in this
Union a rtptildiean form of government."
Then, as the Government of the United States
is to execute this guarantee, the question arises,
what constitutes the Government of the United
States? The President does: tier constitute the
Government; the. Congress do , .s. not constitute
the Government; the Judiciary does not cousli
tute the Government; but all three together con
stitute the Government; and as this guar
antee Is to be . executed by the it overnmcnt of the
United States, It follows necessarily that it must
be a legislative act. The President could not as
sume to, execute the giotrati tee without assuming: •
that he was the United States within the metteing
of that provision, without assuming that he %yes
tdtc Cititerinnent of the United States., Congros
could not of itsclf assume to execute the emaram
tee. without assuming . that it Ives the Onvorn
meal of the United ,States; nor could the Mal
diary, without a like' assumption. Thu act must
he the' act of the 'Government, and, therefore, IL
mrst be a legislative LOA, a law passed. by Con
gress, submitted to the , President for his ap
proval, and ; perlians, in a proper ease, subject to
be reviewed' by the judiciary.
Mr. President, that this is necessarily the ease
from the simple reading of the Constitution,
seems to me •cannot be for a moment denied.
The President, in assuming to execute this
guarantee himself, is assuming to be the Govern
ment of the United States, which he clearly is
not, but only one of its co-ordinate branches;
and, therefore, as this guarantee must be a le..ris
lative act, it follows that the attempt on the part
of the President to execute the guaran
tee was without authority, and that the
guarantee can only be executed In the form.
of a law, first to be passed by Congress and then
to be submitted to the President for his approval;
and if be does not approve it. then to be passed
over his head by a majority of two-thirds in each
Bouse. That law, then, becomes the execution
of the guarantee, and is the act of the Govern
ment of the United States.
Mr. President, this Is not an open question. I
scud to the Secretary and ask , him to read a part
of the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of Luther vs. Borden,
as reported in 7 Howard.
The Secretary mad as follows:
"Moreover, the Constitution of the United
States, as far as it has provided for an emergency
of this kind, and authorized the General Govern-
ment to interfere in the domestic concerns of a
State, has treated the subject as political in its
nature, and placed the power in the hands of that
department.
"The fourth section of the fourth article of the
Constitution of the United States provides that
the United States shall guarantee to every State
in the Union a Republican form of Government,
and'shall protect 'each of them against invasions;
and upon the application of the Legislature or of
the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be
convened), against domestic violence.
"Under this article of the Constitution it rests
with Congress to decide what government is the
established one in a State. For, as the United
States guarantees to each State a republican go
vernment, Congress must necessarily decide what
government is established in the State before it
can determine whether it is republidan or not.
And when the Senators awl Representatives of a
State are Admitted into the councils of the Union,
the authority of the government under which
they are appointed, as well as its re
publican character, is recognized by the proper
constitutional authority. And its decision is
binding upon every other department of the
Government, and could not be questioned in a
judicial tribunal. It is true that the contest in
this case did not last long enough to bring the
matter to this issue; and as no Senators or Rep
resentativeswere elected under the authority of
the government of which Mr. Dorr was the
head, Congress was not called upon to decide
the controversy. Yet the right to decide is
placed there, and not in the courts."
Mr. Morton—ln the opinion of the Supreme
Court of the United States, delivered many years
ago, the right to execute the guarantee provided
for in this clause of the Constitution is placed in
Congress and nowhere else, and therefore the
necessary reading of the Constitution is con
firmed by the highest judicial authority which we
have.
Mr. Johnson—Do you read from the opinion
delivered by the Chief Justice
Mr. Morton—Yes, sir; the ooinion delivered
by Chief Justice Taney. Ho decides that this
power is not judicial; that it. is ono of the high
powers conferred upon Congress; that it is not
subject to be reviewed by the Supreme Court, be
cause it is political in its nature. It is a distinct
enunciation of the doctrine that this guarantee
is not to be executed by the President or by the
Srpreme Court, but by the Congress of the
United States, in the form of a law to be passed
by that body and to be submitted to'the President
for his approval; and should ho disapprove it,
it may become a law by being passed by a two-
Wirth , majority over Ins bead.
NoW I will eallthe attention of my friend from
Wisconsin to some other anthority. As he has
been pleased to refer to a former speech of mine
to show that I am not quite consistent, I will
refer to a vote given by him in 1864 on a very
important provision. On the Ist of July, 1864,
the Senate haviag under consideration, as in
Committee of the Whole, "a bill to guarantee to
certain States whose goveruments have been
usurped or overthrown a republican form of go
gernment," Mr. Brown , 'of Missouri, offered an
amendment to strike out all of the bill after the
enacting clause and to, insert a substitute, which
I will ask the Secretary to read.
The Secretary read as follows:
"That when the inhabitants of any State have
been declared in a state of insurrection against
the United States by proclamation of the Presi
dent, by force and virtue of thd net entitleld "An
act further to provide for the collection of duties
on imports, and for other purposes," approved
Ally 13, 1861, they shall be, and are. hereby de
clared to be incapable of casting any vote for
electors of President or Vice President -of the
United States, or of electing Senators or Repre
sentatives in Congress until said insurrection in
said State is suppressed or abandoned, and said
inhabitants have returned to their obedience to
the Government of the United States, and until
such return to obedience shall be declared by
proclamation of the President, issued by virtue
of an act of Congress hereafter to be passed,
authorizing the same."
Mr. Morton—The honorable Senator from \Via
cousin voted for that in Committee of the Whole
and on its final passage. I call attention to the
conclusion of the amendment, which declares
that they shall be—
"Incapable of casting any vote for eleetors7of
President or Vice President of the United States,
or of electing Senators or Representativeg in
Congress until said insurrection in said State is
suppressed or abandoned, and said Inhabitants
have returned to their obedience to the Govern
mien t the - United - States, and until - such return
and obedience shall be declared by proclamation
of the President issued by virtue of an act of
Congress hereafter to be passed, authorizing the
same."
Recognizing that a state of war shall be re
garded as continuing until it shall be declared no
longer to exist by the President, in virtue of an
act of Congress to be hereafter passed, I am glad
to find by looking at the vote that the distin
guished Senator from Maryland (Mr. Johnson)
voted for this proposition, and thus recognized:
the doctrine for which I ani now contending;
that the power to execute the guarantee is vested
in Congress alone, and that it is for Congress
alone to determine the statue and condition of
those States, and that the President has no power
to proclaim peace or to declare the political
condition of those States until he shall first have
been thereunto authorized by, an act of Congress.
I therefore, Mr. President, take the proposition
as conclusively established, both by : reason and
apthority, that this clause of the Constitution can
be executed only by Congress; and, taking that
as established, I now proceed to consider what
are the powers of Congress in the execution of
the guarantee, how it shall, be executed, and
what means may be employe?! for that purpose.
The Constitution does pot define the means. It
does not Bay bow the guarantee shall be exe
cuted. All that is lelt to the determination of
Cengrees. As to the particular character of the
means that must he employed, that, 1 take
it, will depend upon the peculiar cir
cumstances of each case; and the
extent of the power will depend upon the other
ucetlon as to what may be required for the pur
pose of maintaining or guaranteeing a loyal re
publican form of government in each State. I
use the wont "lOyal, although it is not used in
the Constitution, because loyalty isan inhering -
qualificatien, not only in ree . ard to persons who
are to fill public offices, but in regard to State
governments, and we have no right to recognize
a State government that Is not loyal to the gov
ernment of the United States. NoW, sir, as to the
Alfe of Aneans thatare:notipreseribedlit , the
etitutiOn, 1 call the.attentiort of the Senate to the
eighteenth clause of section eight of the first arti
cle of the Constitution of the United States,
which declares that:
"The Congress shall have power to make all
laws which . shall be necessary and proper for
earrving into expeution the foregoing powers
awl . all other powers vested by this Cometitutiou
in the Government of the United States or any
deppartment or officer thereof."
here is a declaration of what would 'otherwise
be: a general principle anyhow : that Congress
shall have the power to pass all laws necessary
to : carry Into evention all powers that aro vested
in the Geyer:anent under the Constitution. As
Congress has the power to guarantee or main
tain a loyal rcpublican government in each State,
it has the right to use whatever means may be
necessary for that purpose. As 1 before rte
THE DAILY EYENING BULLE4IN.-1 5 11ILADELPITIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, iBOB.
marked,' the character of the means will •
peed upon the character of the ease. In ono
ease it may be the. use of an army; in another
, ease perhaps It may be simply presentimt
question to the courts, and having It tested in
that way; in another case B. may go to the very
foundation of the Government itself. And I
now propound this proposition: that if Con
gress, after deliberation, alter long and bloody
• experience, shall come to the conclusion
that loyal republican State governments
cannot be erected and ~maintained in the
rebel States upon the ags of the white
population, it has a right to raise up and make
voters of a class of men who had no right to vote
under the State laws. This is simply the use of
the necessary , means, in the execution of the
guarantee. If wo have found after repeated
trials that loyal Republican State governments
—governments, that shall answer the purpose
that such, governments are intended to answer—
cannot be successfully founded upon the basis of
the white population, beeause the great majority
of that population are disloyal, then Congress
has a right to raise up a new loyal voting popu
lation for the purpose of establishing these
governments in the execution of the guarantee.
I think, sir, this proposition is so clear
that it is not necessary to elaborate it.
We aro not required to find in the Constitution
a particular grant of power for this purpose; but
we find a general grant of power, and we find
also another grant of, power authorizing us to
use whatever means may be necessary ko exe
cute the first; and we find that the Supreme
Court of the - United States has said that the
judgment of Congress upon this question shall
be conclusive; that it cannot be reviewed by the
courts; that it a purely political matter; and
therefore the determination of Congress, that
raising up colored men to the right of suffrage is
a means necessary to the execution of that power,
is a determination which cannot be reviewed by
the courts, and Is conclusive upon the people of
this country.
The President of the United States, assuming
that he bad the power to execute this guarantee,
and basing his proclamation upon it, went for
ward in the work of reconstruction. It was
understood at that time—it was so announced,
if not by himself, at least formally by the Secre
tary of State, Mr. Seward—that the govern
ments which he would erect during the vaca
tion of Congress were to be erected as provi
sional only; that his plan of reconstruction, and
the work that was to be done under it, would
be submitted to Congress for its approval or
disapproval at the next session. If the Presi
dent had adhered to that determination I believe
that all would have been well, and that the pres
ent state of things would not exist. But, sir, the
Executive undertook finally to execute the guar
antee himself without the co-operation of Con
gress. He appointed provislenal governors, giv
ing to them unlimited power until such time as
the new State governments should be erected.
Be prescribed in his proclamation who should
exercise the right of suffrage in the eleCtion of
delegates. And allow me for one moment to refer
to that. Ile says in his proclamation:
"No; person shall be qualified as an elector, or
shall be eligible as a member of such•convention.
unless he shall have previously taken and sub
scribed the oath of amnesty as set forth in the
President's proclamation of May 29, A. D. 1865
which was issued on the same day, and was a
part of the same transaction—
"And lb a voter qualified as prescribed by the Con
stitution and laws of the State of North Carolina
in force immediately before the 20th day of May,
A. D. 180 E"
The persons having the right to vote must have
the right to vote by the laws of the State, and
must, in addition to that, have taken the oath of
amnesty. The President disfranchised In voting
for delegates to the Conventions from two hun
dred and fifty thousand to three hundred thou
sand men. Ilia disfranchisement was far greater
than that which has been done by Congress. In
the proclamation of amnesty he says :
"The following . classes of persons aro excepted
from the benefits of this proclamation—"
lie then announced fourteen classes of persons
1. All who afro or shall have been pretended
civil or diplomatic officers, or otherwise domes
tic or foreign agents, of the pretended confeder
ate government.
* * * *
1:1. All persons who have voluntarily par
ticipated in said rebellion. and the estimated
value of whose taxable property is over twenty
thousand dollars.
And twelve other classes, estimated to number
at the least two hundred and fifty thousand or
three hundred thousand men, while the disfrau
chisement that has been created by Congress
does not extend perhaps to more than forty-five
thousand or fifty thousarq persons at the ltir-;
thest. 'these provisional governors, under the
authority of the President, were to call conven
tions ; they were to hold the elections, and they
were to count the votes ; they were to exercise
all the powers that are being exercised by the
military commanders under the reconstruction
acts of Congress. After those constitutions were
formed the President went forward and accepted
them as being loyal and republican in their char
acter. He authorized the voters under them to
proceed to elect Legislatures, members of Con
gress. and the Legislatures to elect Senators to
take their teats In this body. In other words, the
President launched those State governments into
lull life and activity, without consultation with or
co-operation on the part of Congress.
Now, sir, when it is claimed that these. govern
ments are legal, let it be remembered that they
took their origin tinder a proceeding instituted
by the President Of the United States, in the ex
ecutiou of this guarantee, when it now stands
confessed that he could not execute the guarantee.
But even if he had the power, Jet it be further
borne in mind that those constitutions were
formed by conventions that were elected by less
than one-third of the white voters in the States at
that time; that the conventions were elected by a
small minority even of the white voters, and that
those. constitutions thus formed by a very small
minority have never been submitted to the people
of those States for ratification. They are no
mere the constitutions of those_ States to-day
=then -die - constitutions - formed by the conven
tions now in session would be if we were to pro
claim them to he the constitutions of those
States without first having submitted them to the
people for ratification. How can it be pretended
for a moment, even admitting that the President
bad the power to start forward in the work of
reconstruction, that those State governments are
legally formed by a small minority, never rati
fie4l by the peol le, the people never having had a
chance to vote for them? They stand as mere
arbitrary constitutions, established not
by the people of the several States,
but sinmly by force of Exectitive . power.
And, , sir, if we shall admit' those States to.
representation on this floor ,and in the other
House under those constitutions, when the thing
shall have got beyond our keeping and they, are
fully restored to their political rights, they will
then rise up and declare that those constitutions
aro not binding upon them, that they never
made them, and they will throw them off,
and with 'them will go those- provisions
which were incorporated therein, declaring
that slavery skould never be restored
and that their war debt was repudiated. Those
provisions were put into those constitutions, but
they never have been sanctioned-by the' people of
those States, and they will cast them out as not
being their act and deed as soon as they shall
have been restored to political power in. this
Government. Tlterefore, I say that even it' he
conerdes thlt the President bad the power,
which he had net, to start forward in the exe
cution of this guarantee, there can still be no
pretence that those governments are legal and
anthorized,.and that we are bound to reeognize
thou.
The President of the United States,in his proc
lamation, deelared that those governments. were
to be tortnett only bY fire . loyal people, of those
States, and 1 beg leave to call the attention of the
Senate to that clause in his proclamation of re
consuruetion. Ile says.:
"And with antborliy to exercise, within• the
limits of ssid_States,ol..the powers
_
to 'enable - with -- loyal - p - e - opre oi . the
State of North Carolina to restore said.Stste to
its constitutional relations with the Feders 1 t",ov
eminent."
Again, speaki4 - of the army.:
"And they are enjoined to abstaiti from in any
way hindering. impeding, or discouraging the
loyal people from the organization of a ,s tate
government, as herein authorized."
Now, sir, so ar froM those State Governments
having been organized by the loyal people, they
were organized by,, the disloyal, every otneo
passed into the bands of.a rebel; the Union men
had,no part or lot in those governments; and so
far from answering the purpose for which go
vernments are Intended, they failed to extend
prettetion to the loyal mcn,eithor white or black.
The loyal men wore murdeted with im
punity; and I will thank 'any Senator
upon this door to point to a single can,
in any of the rebel States Nvhere 'vibe'
his been' tried and brought to punishment by the
civil authority for the uturcier.of a Union arm.
No one case, I' am told, can be.found. ThoSe
govf rumenta utterly failed in answering the pus-'
pose of eivii:governniente; and net only that, but
they returned the colored people to. a condition
of quasi slavery; they made them the slaved of
'moiety, instead of being, as they were before, the
slaves of individuals. Under various forms of
vagrant laws they deprived them of the rights of
freemen, and placed them under the power and
cm:trol of their rebel masters, who were filled
with hatred timid revenge.
But, Air. President, time passed on. Congress
assembled in December. 186.5. Fur a time It
paused. It did not at once annul those govern
ments. It hesitated. At last, in 1866, the con
stitutional amendment, the fourteenth article,
was brought forward as a basis of settlement and
reconstruction; and there was a tacit understand
ing, though it was not embraced in any law or
resolution, that if the &rutin ris people should
ratify and agree to that amendment, then their
State governments would be accepted.
But that aruemirnent, was rejected, con
temptuously rejected. The southern peo
ple, counseled and inspired by the De
mocracy of the North, rejected that amendment,
They. were told that they were not belied to
submit to any conditions whatever; that they
had forfeited no rights by rebellion. Why,
sir, what did we propose by this amendment ?
By• the first section we declared that all men
born upon our soil were citizens of the United
States—a thing that had long been recognized
by every department of this Government until
the Dred Scott decision was made in 1857.
The second section provided that where a class
or race of men were excluded from the right
of suffrage they should not be counted in the
basis of representation—an obvious justice that
no reasonable man for a moment could deny; that
if four million people down Souih were to have
no. suffrage, the men living fu their midst and
surrounding them, and depriving them of all
political rights, should not have members of
Congress on their account. I say the justice of
the second clause has never been successfully im
pugned by any argument, I care not how inge
nious it may be. What was the third clause?
It was that the leaders of the South, those
men who bad once taken an official oath
to support the Constitution of the United
States, and had afterward committed perjury
by going into the rebellion, should be made in
eligible to any office under the Government of
the United States or of a State.' It was a very
small disfranchisement. It was intended to
withhold power from those leaders by whose
instrumentality we had lost nearly half a mil
lion lives and untold treasure. The justice of
that disfranchisement,, could not be disproved.
And what was the fourth clause of the amend
ment? That this Government should never
assume and pay any part of the rebel debt; that
It should never pay the rebels for their slaves.
This was bitterly opposed in the North as well
as in the South. HON could any man oppose
that amendment unless he was In favor of this
Goverurnentassuming a portion or all of the rebel
debt, and in favor of paying the rebels for their
slaves ? When the Democratic party North and
Sou th,opposed that most important, and,perhape,
hereafter to be regarded as vital amendment, they
were committing themselves in principle ' as they
had been before by declaration, to the doctrine
that this Government was bound to pay for the
Eluves, and that it was just and right that we
should assume and pay the rebel debt.
This amendment, as I have before said, was re
jected, and when Congress assembled in Decem
ber, 1866, they were confronted by the fact that
every proposition of compromise had been re
jested, every half-way measure had been spurned
by the rebels themselves, and they had nothing
left to do but to begin the work of reconstruc
tion themselves; and in February, 1867, Con
gress for the first time entered upon the execu
tion of the guarantee provided for in the Con
stitution by the passage of the first recon
struction law. A supplementary bill was
found' necessary in March, another in July, and
I believe another is found necessary at this time;
but the power is With Congress: Whatever it
shall deem necessary, whether it be in the way of
colored suffrage, whether it be in the way of
military power --whatever Congress shall deem
necessary in the execution of this guarantee is
conclusive upon the courts, upon every State,
and upon the people of this nation.
Sir, when Congress entered upon this work it
had become apparent to all men that loyal re
publican State governments could not be
erected and maintained upon the basis of the
white population. We had tried them. Con
gress had attempted the work of reconstruc
tion through the constitutional amendment by
leaving the suffrage with the white men, and
by leasing with the white people of the South
the question as to when the colored people
should exercise the right of suffrage, if ever;
but when it was found that those white men
were as rebellious as ever, that they hated this
Government more bitterly than ever; when it
was found that they persecuted the loyal men,
both white and black, in their mid-t; when it
was found that Northern men who had gone
down there were driven out by social tyranny,
by a thousand annoyances, by the insecurity
of life and property--then it became, apparent
to all men of intelligence that reconstruction
could not tithe place upon the basis of the white
population, and something else must be done.
Now, sir, what was there left to do? Either
we must hold these people continually by mili
tary power, or we must use such machinery
'upon such a new basis as would enable loyal re
publiesn State governments to be raised up;
and in the last resort, and I will say Congress
waited long, the nation waited long, experience
had to come to the rescue of reason before the
thing was done—in the last resort, and as the. :
last thing to be done, Congress determined to
dig through all the rubbish—dig through the
soil and the shifting sands, and go down to
the eternal rock, and there, upon the basis of the
everlasting principle of equal and exact justice to
all men, we have planted the column of •recon
struction; and, sir it will prise slowly but surely,,
itrid''llier'greteri of 'Hell Shall not prevail - against
it." Whatever dangers wo apprehended from the
introduction to the right of suffrage of seven
hundred thousand men, just emerged from sla
very, were put aside is: the presence of a greater
danger. Why, sir, let me say frankly
to my friend front Wisconsin that
I approached universal colored suffrage
In the South reluctantly. Not because I adhered
to the miserable dogma that this hi the white
man's government, but because I entertained
fears about at onto entrusting a large body of
men just from slavery, to whom education had
been denied by law, to whom the marriage rela
tion had been. denied, who, had been made the
Most abject slaves, with political power. And as
the Senator has referred to a speech which I
made in Indiana in 1865. allow me to show the
principle that then actuated me, for in that
speech I said
"In regard to the question of admitting the
freedmen of the Southern States to vote, while I
admit the equal right of all men, and that in time
all men will have the right to vote, without dbl...
auction of color or race, I yet believe that in the
case of four million of slaves, just freed from
bondage, there should be a period of probation
pn ]aeration before they are brought to the
exeicke of political power.'
Such was my feeling at that time, for it had
not then been determined by the bloody experi
ence of the last two years that we could not re
construct upon the basis of the white population,
and such wits the opinion of a great majority of
the people of the North; and it was not until a
;year and a half after that time that Congress
came • to the conclusion that there was no way
Mt but to resort to colored suffrage and suffrage
to affocii except those who were disqualified by
the eunnnission of high etimes „and. misde
meanors.
Mr. President, we hear much said in the course
of this dt bate, and thronzh the press, about the
yip - 1111.1(m5 or tho .Constitution. It is said that in
the reconstruction measures of Congress we have
ope,putside,oCtlm.Constitution, aud, the remark , :
of •.emit cllsthiguished stateintan of the
eau party is quoted to that effect. Blr, " it any
leading liepublican has ever said so, he spoke
only for himself, not for another.
L deny the statement lit to/0. I insist
that these reconstruction measures are as
fully within the powers of the Constitution as
any legislation that can be - 'had, not only by
reason, - but by authority. And who are the men
that are talking so much about the violation of
the Constitution, and who pretend to be the es
pecial friends of that instrument? The great
mass of them, only three years ago, were in arms
overturn the Constitution and establish that
of 31ontg ornery in its place, or were their North
ern friends, who were aiding and sympathizing
in that undertaking.
I had occasion the other day to speak of what
Was described nA a Constitution Union man—
a man living inside of the Federal linep during
'll.l. a ar. spa pathiz,ing with the' rebellion, and
'who e neva yen ed to aid the rebellion by insisting
that every war measure for ;the purpose of
suppressing it was a 'violation of the Constitu-
tion of the United Stated. . Now, these men
who claim to be the especial friends of the
Constitution are the 'len who' have' sought to
destroy it by force' of arms, and them through
out the country who have given them aid and
comfort: Sir, you will remember that once a
elle Mated Fiend' woman .was being dragged to
the senile:old, and as she passed the statue of Lib
erty she exclaimed: "How many crimes have
heen,tiorunlitted in thy mune?" And I can say to
the Cbne.litalion, how many climes against lib
erty, humanity and progress are being committed
hi thy MAIM, by these men, who, while they
loved not Elm Constitution, and sought its de
struction, now, for party purposes, claim to be
its especial friends:
My friend from Wisconsin yesterday compared
what. Le called the radical party of the North to
the radicals of the South. and when he was asked
the question by some Senator, "Who are the
Radicals of the South! " he said, "they are the
Secessionists." Sir, the .Secessionlats of the
South are Democrats to-day, acting In harmony
and concert with the Democratic party. They
were Democrats during the war who prayed for
the success of McClellan and Pendleton, and
would have been glad to have voted for them;
and they were Democrats before the war, and the
men who made the rebellion. These are the
Radicals of the South; and nay friend from Wls
certain, after all, is voting with the Radicals.
The burden of his speech yesterday was that
the reconstruction measures of Congress are in
tended to establish negro supremacy. Sir, this
proposition is without any foundation whatever.
1 believe it was stated yesterday by the Senator
from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) that In every State
but two the white voters registered outnumbered
the colored voters; and the fact that in two States
the colored voters outnumbered the whip
voters is • owing to the simple accident
that there are more colored men in those
States than there are white men. Con
gress has not sought to establish negro suprem
acy, nor has it sought to establish the sun remacy
or any class or party of men. If it had sought
to establish negro supremacy it would have
been an easy matter by erteludingfrom the right
of suffrage all men who had' been concerned in
the rebellion, in accordance with the piopositlon
of the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts
(Mr. Sumner), in his speech at WorceSter, in
1865. He proposed to exclude all men who had
been concerned in the rebellion, and confer suff
rage only on those who were left. That would
have established negro supremacy by giving the
negro an overwhelming majority in every
State ; and if that bad been the
object of Congress it could have been
readily done. But, sir, Congress has only sought
to divide the political power between the loyal
and the disloyal. It has disfranchised some fifty
thousand disloyal leaders, leaving all the rest of
the people to vote. They have been enfranchised
on both sides, that neither should be placed in the
power of the other. The rebels hive the right to
vote so that they shall not be under the control
and power of the Union mon only, and the Union
men have been allowed to vote so that they shall
nut be ender the control and power of the rebels.
This is the policy—to divide the political power
moug those men for the protection of each.
Sir, the charge that we intend to create a negro
supremacy or colored State Governments is with
out the slightest foundation, for it would have
been in the power of Congress to have easily
cqgferred such supremacy by simply excluding
thtrdleloyal from the right ,of suffrage—a power
which it had the clear right to exercise. Isiow,
Mr-President, allow me to consider for a mo
ment the amendment offered by the Senator from
Wisconsin, and upon which his speech was made,
and see.wbat Is its effect—l will not say its pur
pose, but its inevitable effect should it become a
law. I will ask the Secretary to read the amend
ment which the Senator from Wisconsin has pro
posed to the Senate.
The Secretary read as follows:
!Trorided, neverthekB.4, That upon in olection
for the ratification of any constitution, or of ofil
cers under the same, previous to Its adoption In
any State, no person not havinz the qualifica
tions of an elector under the constitution and
laws of such State previous to the late rebellion,
Shall be allowed to vote, unless he shall possess
one of the following qualifications, namely :
"1. Ile shall have served as a soldier in the
Federal army for one year or more.
"2. Ile shall havdsuflicient education to read
the Constitution of the United States and to sub
scribe his name to an oath to support the savne;or,
"3. lie shall be seized in his own right,orlin the
right ot his wlle,of a freehold of the value of e 250."
Mr. Morton—Sir, these Qualifications are, by
the terms of the amendment, to apply to those
who were not authorized to vote by the laws of
the Slate before the rebellion—in other words,
the colored men. He proposes to allow a col
ored man to Note if he has been in the Federal
army omwyear, and he proposes to allow a rebel
white man to vote, although ho has served in
the rebel army four years ! He pro
pctScs that a colored man shall not vote, unless
he has sufficient education to read the Constitu
tion of the United States and to subscribe his
name to an oath to support the same; whereas
he permits a rebel white man to vote who never
heard of A, and does not know to make hi,
mark. even to a note given for whisky.
ILaughter.
Again, sir, he proposes that the colored man
shall not vote unless he shall be seized in his own
right or in the right of his wine of a freehold of
the value of i4'250, a provision which, of course,
would 'cut off nine hundred and ninety-nine out
of every thousand colon d teen in the South. The
colored man cannot Vote uuless he has a freehold
of $250. but the white rebel who was never worth
twenty-five cents, who never paid poll-tax in his.
life, never paid an honest debt, is to be allowed to
rote. Sir, what would be the inevitable effect of
the adoption of this amendment i To cut off
such a large part of the • colored vote as to leave
the rebel white vote largely in the ascendancy
and to put these new State governments there to
be formed again. into the hands of the: reliele.Jllr,
I will not spend longer time upon that
My friend yesterday alluded to my endorse
ment of the. President's policy in a speech in
lio;5. I never endorsed what is now called the
President's policy. In the summer of 1865,
when I saw a division corning between the
President and the Republican party, and when
I could not help anticipating the direful con
sequences that Must result from it, I made a
speech in which I repelled certain statements
that had been made against the President, and
denied the charge that by issuing his procla
mation of May ileth, 18d5, he hall thereby left
the Republican party. I said that he-had not
left the Republican party by - that act: I did
show that the policy of that proclamation was
even more radical than that of Mr. Lincoln. I
did show that It was more radical even than the
Winter Davis bill of the summer of 1861. But,
sir, it was all 'upon the distinct understanding
that whatever the President did, his whole policy
or action was to be submitted to Congress for
its consideration and decision; aud, as I before
remarked, if that had been done all would have
been well. I did not then advo
cate • universal colored sulfrage in the
South, and I have before given my reasons for it,
and in doing that I was acting in harmony with
the great body of the Republican party or the
North. It was nearly a year after that time
when Congress passed the Constitutional
Atnendrueut, which still left the question of suf
frage with the Southern States, left it with the
white people; and it was not until a year and a
half after that time that Congress came to the
conclusion that we could not execute the guar
antee of the Constitution without raising up a
new class of loyal - voters.
And, sir, nobony concurred in that result more
heartily than myself. I . eonfess.(and i do it with
out shame) that I have been educated by the great
dents of the war. The American people have
been educated rapidly;
and the man who says
he has learned nothing, that he stands now where
he did six years ago, is like an ancient mile post
_its, to ekic of a desertabighway.; :_Weiegri7:Pre
sidunt, have advanced
_step by stop. Wheir this
war began we did not eorderuplate the destruc
tion of slavery. I remember .when the
Crittenden resolutiouwas passed, declaring,
that the War - was not 'prosecuted for conquest
or to overturn the lestltutions of any State. I
know that that was Inteuded as an asseranire that
Slirtery should not be destroyed, and it received
the vote. I believe, of every Republican member
in both Houses of Congress but inn few months
;_
after that time it was found by the events of the
war that we could not preserve slavery and sup
press the rebellion, and we must destroy slavery
riot prosecute the war to destroy slavery, but
destroy slavery to prosecute the wat; Which
was the better? To wind by the resolution and
let the Upton co, or stand by the 'Union and let
tine resolutlor go? Congress could not stand by
that pledge and it was "more honored in the
breach titan the observance." Mr. Lincoln
issued his Proclamation of emancipation, settin4
free the slaves of. the rebels. It was dictated by
the stern ithd.bloody experience or the time,. Mr.
Lincoln' had no choice lett him. When we bemit
this contest to one thought ive would use col
ored soldiers iu the war. The distinguished Sen
ator sitting by me here (Mr. Cameron), when in
• the winter of 1861, 'he first brought forward the
proposition, as Secretary of War, to use colored
soldiers, was greatly in advance of public opin
ion, and was thought to he visionary; but as the
war progressed it • became manifest to
all 'intelligent• men that we must
not only . • destroy eliVety, but wo
must rt avail ourselves of every instrumental
ity in our power for the purpoae•of Putting down
the relit lliou, and the whole country accorded in
the use of colored soldiers—and gallant and glo
rioufi service they rendered. In 1864 a proposi
tion was brought forward in this body to
amend the , Constitution of the United
States by abolishing slavery. Wo do not think
that this is very radical now, but it was very rad
ical then ; it was the great measure of the age,
and almost of modern times, and it was finally
passed; an amendment setting free •every living
Man bring within the limits of the United States.
But, sir, we were very far then from where we
are now. All will remember the celebrated
_ Winter Davis. bill, passed in June, 1861, which
took the power of reconstruction out of the
bands of the President, where it did not in fact
be long before.
I refer to' Mr. Lincoln; but if that bill, had
naesed it would perhaps have resulted in the
aestrtietion of this Government. We can all
see it now, although it was then thought to be
the most radical measure of the times. What
did it propose? It proposed ,to• prescribe a
plan, to take effect when the war should end,
by which these rebel States should be restored.
I refer to Ihe bill simply to show how we
have all traveled. It required but one condi
tion or guarantee on the part of the South, and
that was that they should put. in their congtitu
tions a provision prohibiting slavery. It re
quired no other guarantee. It required no
equalization of representation; no security
against rebel debts, or against payment for eman
cipated slaves; and it confined the right of suf
frage to white men. Eint . it was thought to be a
great step in advance, at. the time, and so it was;
but events were passing rapidly, and in 1865 the
President came forward with his proposition, and
I am stating what is true from un examination of
the documents when I say, that but for the want
of power with the President, this scheme in itself
considered was far more radical than that of the
Winter Davis bill; butetivents were rapidly teach
ing the statesmen of the time that we could not
reconstruct upon that basis.
Still, Congress was not prepared to take a for
ward step until the summer of 1866, In the 1388..
sago of the constitutional Amendment, which we
now regard as a half--way moisure, necessary and
vital as fur as it went, but not going far enough.
Thatwas rejected, and we were then compelled
to go further, and we have now fallen upon the
plan of reconstruction which I have been con
sidering. It has been dictated by the . .
logic of events. It overrides all ar
guments, overrides all prejudices, over
rides all theory, in the presence of the ne
cessity for preserving the life of this nation; and
if future events shall determine that wn must go
further. I for one am prepared to say that I will
go as far as shall be necessary to the execution
of this guarantee, the reconstruction of this Re
public upon a right basis, and the successful res
toration of every part of this Union.
•11r. President, the column of reconstruction, as
I before remarked, Las risen slowly. It has not
been hewn from a single stone- It is composed of
many blocks, painfully laid up and put together,
and cemented by the team and blood of the nation.
Sir, we have done nothing arbdrartly. We have
done nothing for punish neat—aye, too little for
punishment. Justice has not had , her demand.
Not amen has yet been executed for this great,
Infernal treason. The arch fiend him
self Is now at liberty upon bail.
No man is to be punished; and now while pun
ishment has gone by, as we all know, we are in
elating only upon security for the future. We
arc simply asking that the evil spirits who
brought this war upon us shall not again come
into power during this generation, again to bring
upon us rebellion and calamity. We aro simply
asking for those securities that we deem neces
sary for our peace and the peace of our posterity.
Sir,
ir, there is one great difference between this
Union party and the so-called Democratic party.
Our principles are those of humanity; they are
those of justice; they arc thee° of equal rights;
they are principles that appeal to the hearts and
the consciences of men; while on the other side
we hear appeals to the prejudice of race against
race. The white man is overwhelmingly in the
majority in this country, and that majority is
yearly increased by halt a million of
white men from abroad, and that majority
gaining in proportion from year to year until
the (Acted men will finally be but a handful in
this country; and yet we hear the prejudice of
the white race appealed to to crush this other
race, and to prevent this from rising to suprem
acy and power. Sir, there is nothing noble,
there is nothing generous, there is nothing lovely,
In that policy or that appeal. How does that
principle compare with ours ? We are stand
ing upon the broad platform of the Declaration
of Indepenth nee, that "all men , are created
equal; that they are endowed by their Creator.
%ill) certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness." We say that these rights are not
given by laws; are not given by the I„,onstitution;
but thty are the gift of God to every min bore
in thew orld. 011, sir, how glorious is this great
principle eompsred with the inhuman—l might
say the heathenish—appeal to the prejudice of
race against race; the endeavor further to excite
the strung against the wenk,• the endeavor far- •
tber to deprive the weak of their rights of pro
tection against the strong.—Press.

The follow i ;fe letter from the leader of the

JJ% - srA, Oct. 22, 1867. William Stick-
E,y(I.—DEAR SID AND FRIEND : Your
kind latter dated Liverpool, the 2d instant,
Les been duly received, and I proceed to
answer forthwith. You are right in saying
the reports published in the A.tnerican pipers
are too full of bitterness and venom to carry,
conviction to an honest man. The colony
is now wilted and happy, and , enjoy
peace on all sides for the first time
during our stay in this land: Soon after you
left a number mote became dissatisfied, and,
ng you justly reworked, •reniodeled the stone
old stories, with iidditi ms. They swore
against me all manner of falsehoods, and,
among others, that they were afraid of their
lives—afraid that I would incite the natives
to destroy them—and 'on their dying tail:
vits I vas thrown into a vile Turkish.: prison
for twelve days. On my deliverance am]
upon the investigation I proved every charge
against me false and malicious. To recede
and become United States paupers and beg
gars seemed, With,many of them, to have be
come a kind of mania. This may have grown
out of the fact that a number who were
among the first to return wrote back that
they had more money than when they started
for Palestine. And a number of them bOldly
asserted that they would lie and beg their
way through. . •
As to suffering in the Colony for want of
provisions, it is, utterly untrue; and when I
say this I mean from the time when we landed
up to the present hour. In tho house where
the child was said to have cried for bread the
family had packed away more than $7,000 In
gold. Several of those who secedel, siuce
you left had from i 4500 to t1;200 each int
selling their property, and yet they begged
just as hard as any of the party.
As to their crops, they never gathered them;
they were too lazy. We purchased their
crops; and, although they did not turn out
large, yet they were much better than we
might have expected, for the simple reason
that our grain was sowed too late, and the
earth not half ploughed. MI this I told them
at the time, but they would not take my
counsel and ,advice. bet them go. We, are
glad to get clear of them; they wore utterly
unfit even to assist In such a great work as
the restoration of raleitine." Tney were iti?n
of corrupt miuds—impure in their in )-
tives—and their plates will soon be tilled ny
better and nobler men. Every ellen that
could be made by apostates, assisted by the
consuls, for ourdestittetim, his been tried;
hut they have failed—utterly filled in destr )y
-ing the colony. Their reason fur making
such mighty efforts tiir our destructlm wise
that they knew that if the colony went ou
and I lived, that their deeds would he handed
down to future times with shame and everla,o
ing disgrace. Oh, sir that yau could be)k
upon us now mid see how happy we are,freed
from these bad men.
Since their departure the natives seem
anxious to hire us. Our teams are aliengaged.
Our carpenters have employment and re•
ceive good pay. Each one saves, over and
above all his expenses, at least e,.; in gold
per week. All our mechanics and laborers
have plenty of work and good pay. Our pros
pects for the future we cm say, are truly
Florious. A fine macadamized carriage-road
is being finished from Jerthalem to Jeri, 100
feet wide. Over :1,(100 men are at wcrk upon
it, and over twelve miles of the road are
already finished. It is to be completed in
thirty 'days by order of ths Sultan. Tnis is n , )
myth, tut a reality, for we have seen it with
our own eyes. Our carriages and wagons are
all engaged in the completion of the road, to
bring Consuls and other foreign dignitariei
from Jerusalem to Jaffa. Is not this a groat
step toward progression in this down-trodden
laud? We are at peace with all the native,.
The Latins, Greeks, Armenians, Maronites,
Turks, Arabs and 51 ottalt!ite , lang are 411
friendly to us. So also with the local offi
cers and all the foreign eonsuLS. No one
seceder is left In the Holy Land to send hi,

The Impeetar Review says :
We have a suspidion that Englishmen
make their proposals of marriage mere
awkwardly than any °that race of creatures
tinder the sun. Hence, there is a notion
'among us—most unfounded of course-:--that
proposals are not 'lnfrequently made fur them
by the very Objects of their affections. This,
Ivo feel quite sure, is a gross slander upon
!loth the parties concerned, still, it serves
*to show the public estimate of the average
masculine capacity for "Speaking, out" when
ft he time really arrives for doing so • and it
may, at any rate, safely he said, that the re
tire no two things most Englishmen hold in
treater dread than having to make a speech
and having to make a downright declaratiou
of their affections, and extort a Confession of
:reciprocity. A sense of the ridiculous cramps

A TREATY 1111 . 1 . ! TICE 1otY1:1; InbAtin4
The new treaty between the Unit , al aes and the
Fejee blends has just been received at tho State De
partment. It is rather vague in point of stipn iatioas,
and eccentric In form, consisting simply of au 'im
mense tooth of a whale, riclny vatic„atei In color,
and to the end of which is attached a airongly twit,ted .
grass cord; whichserves its is handle or as binding the
treaty. The naval agent, who delivered the tooth way
Instnicted to say to the President that •it was a trctiy
by which the King of the Fejc,:s mot tgand fps islands
to the United States, for the paymeat of the Ix/ami
no:nos or indemnity due to the United States, to con
tinue (or than years, the President on his part to
agree to prt vent the rival Fejee King from levying
wee lllClintt Ihe letntimate sovereign during the con
tinuaaae of tin; mortgage. On I clog asked (WA , the
treaty was to and exchanged. he snit his
inetructions were, that if the PreS . dern. accepts the
tooth, then the treaty Ps established. If he deelme.,
the trea' y, he Is to retnrn the torch to the King of the
Fejees. The tooth wits Wrlipic4 in a rude cloth.
made from the inner hark of a tree, withont spinning
or weaving. It is not known whether this siagnlar
treaty will be sent to the Senate for ratification. •
Some years since three seamen deserted from a
United States vessel and took shelter on the Fejee
Islands. An officer was sent In search of them, and
appealed to the authorities to assist in their capture.
Alter mulch prevarication, the Ring admitted teat the
deserters had been eaten by his people. A. demand
was made at that time for Indemnity, when the s.ric
nrelgn agreed to give a stipulated sum. One of the
instal meets was paid (perhaps twenty years ag,(o, and
the ,object of Dr: present treaty or tooth arrangement,
being forwarded by the Ring, is an evidence of his
good faith, and to show that lit\ has not forgotten his
peemilary obligations. •
