Mu. lltcnAnbspx—Mr. Chairman, I de,
sire this morning to submit afew remarks
tor the , consideration Of . the House and the
cOuntry.. It is not my purpose to discus
-questions pertaining to the army alileady
iii the field,, which; -if judiciously officered
and: managed, iN able to crush out the re
bellion.. I shall direct, my attention there
fore to some of the many new questions
which n'k continually arising durin g the
I I progress of this terrible war.
NEGRO EQUALITY DETERMINED UPON
Mr. Chairman, there is a manifest 'anxi
ety, an overweening anxiety,'s persistent
purpose, upon
_We part of prominent mem
bers of the dominantrparty in .the govern
ment,.to place upon terms of equality, and
make'participapts with us in the rights of
American citizenship an-interior race. The .1
negro race, which --is incapable of either
-comprehending or maintaining any form
of government—by whom liberty is inter
preted
,as licentiousness—is sought to be ,
exalted, even at the cost of the degrade
of our own tlesloand.blood.
We all remember - with what intense
satisfaction a recent order of the
.Secreta
ry of-State; Mr. SeWard, one of the chief
clerks of theTresident, Was received in
certain quarters, becahse it declared no In
gitive slave A119n1 . •4 be retained in eustedY.
longer than thirty days, unless ",by- spe
cial order of competent civil- authority.

While Mr. Seward was issuing-this or
der fur the general jail delivery of the ne
groes, he was also sending, ma.lera,usur:
ration of- power, and in violation of the
laws arid the Constitution, hundreds of
white men and women to fill fife celbi of
the prison in this district and throughout
the loyal States.
'Against many of these
white men and women'thus incarcerated
by. this despotic Secretary of State, no
crlarge has ever been made; they are W-

Caucassian ruthlessly . violated, while I
the African is most tenderly gmir4.led;
even to the nullification Of Slate enact
; n,!ents and the national statutes. a
rumot become current that .a negro has
: been-deprived of persOnal liberty—either
in 'this' district' or anywhere else—and
there are dozens of republican members
' upon -this floor striving to obtain the at
tentioa of the House White they may Of
fiir resolutions inquiring by what law, - -by
whm, when, and where these objects of
their undivided attentions may luive - been
iarrested. But-never yet has any of those
s philanthrophic gentlemen made inquiry
fur the law or 'authority under which
white. American citizens have been W-
I napped brthe State Department, dragged
front their homes and left to pine and. die,
perchance, in,some of the many bastiles
which this administration has established.
1* It is well: known,air,-that it any white
citizen, perhaps a father or a brother, de
sires to visit a relative or acquaintance in
'the military serviee of tl.is Government,
•he is obliged 'to secure a pass from some
competent authority, and to .i-eutin-this he
, Is required upon his honor to declare his
!loyalty and - fidelity to the government .-4
But. the negro goes and comes within the
lines. of our army, whether his destination
I be :towards or from the enemy; the color
of the black man is hi; passport, and is re
keived as equivalent to the pledge and
honorofloyalty .upon the part-of the white
person. '

nI.7NAWAY 'NEGROES RECEIVE EMPLOYMENT
TO THE-EXCLUSION OF WHITE CITIZENS.
- In' this district you- have abolished
slavery. • You have abolished it. by coin
pensatien, by adding $1,000,000 to the na.
tional debt,. and a tax of *73,1)00 to be
paid annually, ts interest on this sum, by
taxes imposed upon the laboring -white
people of these States.. Not satisfied with
doing this much - for yntir. .especial faver
ite; you, extend the freedom of this city
and the hospitality of the Government to
all the runaway negroes in the country
who choose to visit tiles District of Colum
bia. You issue rations to them day after
day, and week . after week—rations winch
must be-paid'for through the sweat. and
toil of the tax-ridden white men.- You are
thus supporting:in indolence hundreds up.'
on htindreds of black men. How many
and at what cost I ant unable to state, be
cause when a 'resolution, atiking for this
"information, was introduced by the honor
able gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Cox) it
was immediately table(bby the republican
majority uponthe other side of the House:
These gentlemen' dare hot. let this informa
tion go to the country; they -shrink from
the. exposure 'which a truthful reply.to
such inquiry would make. The resolution
of Mr. Cnx - alSo asked- for the number-of
negroeti . employed as teamsters in the
and 'at What'cwiges; but this wasic
-1 qually objectionable, for it would have il
tlustrated the fact that negroes by 'the
hundreds are receiving better pay as-dri- '

Hunter's enrollment of negro troops, he
says].:
Thns, in lesS than tie() years after the
accession to power Of the -repablican par
ty, the negro is Made, as lava. possible,
th . c.equal of the-white man, as . a civilian a
sailor and a soldier. Nay, more than this,
the 'Constitution is ViolateX that white
men' may be . bereft of their' guarantied

armor of Citizenship . in order that the ne
gro may be therein. All this has'
been done .against the earneSt Protest'of
conservative men. And propositions and
amendments

for the suppression of this rebellion, whkh
provided that no motleys should be diver
ted either to the freeing, support, or the
enlistment of negroes, have been invaria

in this House.
Worse than this even, Gen. Hunter, in
his zeatfor the negro, withdraws the pro
tection of Ids-army 'from the loyal. citiiens
of Jacksonville, Florida, in Order to per
fect his great negrci - boarding-house and
African military acadeMy at the mouth of
the Savannah :river. This is undoubtedly
in.. harmony. With his brilliant discovery
that,slavery and martial law-are incom-.1

considered slaver and Martial-law, either
for whites - or blacks, among the most con

ization hits failed to elevate the inferior,
but always degrades the superior race.—
On the ether hand, wherever the-purity.
of the white race has been preserved,4be
superiority has continued, and - its devel

progressd. Neither soil nor climate, on 1

Sir, I am-satistied with the history of,
the race i as flit y are, they were crea
ted, and iis: - our tattlers legislated for them. ,
I claim Ob originalty fur .these thoughts;
they have been entertained by some of the
ablest statesmen, not only of our country;
but of England r among them Mr. Canning,
Who, whhn the British Parliament was
conside'ring schemewkindied to those now
occupying the attention of the republican
party of ;this country,-said:
. In .dealing with the • negro, sir, we
must remember that we are dealing with
a person , possessing the &mit and strength
of a marl, but the intellect only of a,chtld.
To turn!him loose in the manhood of his
,physical strength, in the Maturity of his
physical passions, bat in tile infancy ofhis
.uninstructed , reason, would be to-raise
a ere:minre resembling fiction of a re-,j
•cent rimance, the hero of which con
structs a human form,with.,all ti ecopot•e
alcapabilities.of man ' and the thews l and
sinews of a giant; brit' being: unable to,l
impart to the work of hiS hands a percep,
tion of 'right and wrong,-lie finds too late
that he!has only created lt More than imor-
tal p - oWer of doing mischief, and himself
recoils from the monster , he has.made
One pf their great Statesmen to-day,
Lord John Russell, whenever, he alludes'
to the Ibldek race in ,America, and to a
cliange ; of its status, talks only of very
gradual emancipation,• because he knows
that sudden and unconditional emancipa
tion would be destruction to-both the, tie-,
gro and
,the white nvtn.
British Statesmen opposed' immediate I
emancipation upon the ground of its ex. - .
pedieney • alone. Ameri4an statesmen. i
should 'oppose not, only on that ground,',
but,also upon the ground that the consti

The.satimis-true in regard to 'nations.
All nations have; at some period of- their
history, experiZsaced national reveries; 'Ol
Undergone; intern - al reVolutions ., which
have brought tolight fundamental errors
in "their. systems of government, Or de
fectsin tikeir legislative enactments- , Our,
own beloved coutitry, is no exception to
this general rule. - How, far our pres
ent national troubles may be the result:
of defective. legislation iiu. its broadest !
sense; We do not pretend' 'to say. .But
we do say, it is the duty of every true lov
er of his country, to7scrutinie closely.' its
gr,and national institutions, for . the pile-
pose of Strengthening. the weak points
wherever theymay . •
Regarding as we do, the codinon school
system as the strangest -bulwark : a our .i
republican institutions, we -will be excused
for adverting to what we- coneieve to Ilea
grand defect in. that otherwise incompar
able system. " Prefer to the eatire'abseace"
of all instruction relative to our system of
• • •
free government-
The educational motto of Out State mar.
.be considered the motto of the .t; cited
states, and it is well wathy, of the honor,
"—embodying, as it doei, the germ 'of re
publican liberty - .and equality,—" That -
which makesa good constitution must
keep. it, viz: men of wisdom amid virtue,—
qualitiesithat, because-they descend not
with worldly inheritance, muSt, be 'care
prOpagated. by a virtuous educa
tion.", • •
No motto could be found embracing, as
flinch truth in so few words. .:But is the
school laid as it is, adapted to
-meet its re
quirements in all: essential ; point.? It
says that-to preserve the conAtitution re,
quires men of wisdom and virtue,"
which means, lilt - means anything, men of
upright principles and moral integrity;
combined with a knowledge Of.the prin
ciples upon which civil-governmeot is bas
ed; tsperialy a knowlage rfthc Constitujion
ilself,without which no man is qualified
for .dis,charging, intelligently, the various
functions of.citizenship.
- Now, the 'question arises what provis
inn is made in tlie.school law for instruct
ing pupils in the laws Of their country, and
the nature of its government?: In enti:
!iterating the - studies to be pursued in the
common schools, no mention is • made •of
the Constitution of, the United States,
which should be the hand - book Of 'every
syhool boy. (and girl too), in the land. I
know, not, how others may View it, but•to
Imy own mind, this. omission appears in
the light of 's serious defect:: It seems a
manifest inconsistency . for the State to
i provide a system of instruction i , for
-tits
`sons, with the avowed . piwpose..oftrahaing
i up men capable of preserving and perpet-
Hating our free iustitutiuns, while She
makes no .prot;ision whatever for that
particular kind of instruction, without
whielf they can neither understand the na
ture nor appreciate the value of •those in
stitutions.
. A man may throw away a priceless jew
el, because he knows not-that it is a jew
el; so a man
,ignorant Of the value of ,our
system of government, may throw a'ay
the precious boon of.liberty,. without . be
ing aware of what he _does. - ' • •
Let ushave the constitution gentied and
understood by . every school boy and 'girl in
'the - land, if we - world have intelligent,
ear nest, patriotic supporters and defenders
of - the liberty it( confers, and the blessings
it secures. - • -1 • .
Who knows how lunch this want. may
have contributed to the Southern rebell
ion, which, is now testing the strength of
our constitutional governments'
-And
who can tell how'much of the apathy and
want ' f patriotism; which: characterize
- some of our northern districts, is 'atteibu-:
table to the same cause? . - . •..
It is hardly to be expected,. thrit men
who have never even read the Constitu
