X.XX Vifith Congress---First Session.
Mr. Harding (Ky.)' argued against the
President's•plan of reconstruction, character
izing the scheme as mapped out by the master
builder' With a pencil dipped in • blocid. He
(Mr. Harding) assumed thatthe secession or
dinances were void, and in the termination of
the rebellion the revolting States have a right
to return, with all their privileges under the
Constitution. -
_
and MINSTREL
• Mr. Denning (Conn.) maintained that
though the President's plan is not beyond
cavil, it as as complete and comprehensive
as the intricacies of the subject will permit,
and possesses the rare merit of the justice of
th 4 Cioiernment to the insurgent States and
to the slave. -

man from Cleatfield (air. Bonn) very prope'rly
ret.de the inquiry ho'N thi standard of loyalty
was to be aseertalued, he said nothing about
party, but left the*testion opeh, whether this
application of a telit,",of lnYalty referred to Re
publicans or Demod_rats., No sooner,-however,-
bad the gentlemau r from Northumberland stood
upon his feet, thatt he aesuieed tiott *lithe yes '
°lotions of the genilbman from Washington,'
were a direct attack upon the Demooritiopeitty.

everything but cur accountability to Him Who
formed us as a nation.
Sir, ore test , of loyalty that I would, put
would be that a min' should be destronsio
pel the invaders froui our own State: I peek
of our own State just at this moment, but
say that far above the State is the nation. Yet
how was it when these men who were the' Cause
.of this great lc'ss. who inflicted this injutyr Upon
the citizsos of the great Cumberland valley—
how was it in-thie very town, and in these very
balls, when this mighty army, which:had rav
aged its own country, proposed, as it'imissaid'
by tho Governor of this Caomonwealth but a
short time sinoe, to breathe for awhile the free
air of Pennsylvania, anch - airee - they had never
"breathedhetore ?- All around this hell,:at that
time, and in this ball—l speak that' which I do
know—men were Sneering at thP efforts of the
kkecutive of the State and the Executive of the
nation to repel-the invasion.. I heard with-my.
owe ears men who, if in their *placw, wonlamow
be within the sound of my voice, members of
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, sneering at
these efforts to repel-invasion, and speaking of
it, as if no invasion existed. Had-they wanted
but a few days they Would hair' &mud that
there was hardly:a house In all this State with
out its monrners, became of those who died
upon the battle-field of Gettysburg to -repel
that invasion. Shame upon: such men and
upon those who gnash' them I '
I am happy here to say that one of -them
men, a member cf the Legislature of Pentisyl
vania,wast rebuked by a gentlemart, now's mem
ber of this House—whom I do not see.ba his
seat, but who does not belong to this side of
the House. Honor be to that man arberever
he is. - I speak of him only. - I doubt not that
there'are many more like bin). Such, I is
one test of a man's-loyalty.
With come of the sentLaents which were
uttered by;the gentleman - fitim Northgnaber
land I can agree. I can agree'thailrue - Democ.
racy and loyalty ate cmirertible terms. I can
agree that the 'Democracy upon Which the in
stitutions of. this cone' ry are based; the prin
ciple which is to be found in
,OVerylrbe* man,
whether he calls himself Republican kir Whig,
or Federal ;or Denaoaratl4'earr agree that that
Deneocrsey'is a convertible berth with loyalty.

Let us have right, views .upon this subject.'
tat us not,testoor loyalti by any such' scheme
as' that or t ihose men who have arisen intim
South, and have poll - sorted the Minds as well
'as thq hearts, of many in, the North with the
belief that, thli great nettern, -fornaerZb:y tire
people, was'a mere compact of States', - Why,
when as hoYS weaned our Constitution, those.of us whose heads are , now ;grey, we never'
looked upon the - goiernment of Drafted
States as a compact, of States. We 'read: it'therei
as plain as A, B, p, that "Wri,the people," firm
this great governnaent; and me read there, too,'
that we gave to this gieiat 'government, at a
pe,4le, certain tights and'POwera'fOr ita'preser
'vation; and that in the exercise of, thoee potter's
and the maintenance of those rights" this goV
ernment. of the United. States was snpretiat, that
when the .governmerit enacted laws, thrchigh
our constituted. - roathorities and 'through' the
forms which the 'people 'hatl deputed, those
le ws.were eitpreme, and the man make traitor
and a scoundrel--(thosa were our Sentiments
then, and they are mine now)-=who"-deliber
ately says, that any State' has rights which
will put it aboVe the governoiant of the United,
States, andthat we, aa citizens of this State or
any other Edate,ebould'obeY the behears of our
1 State to the, overturning' of" rite, go v ernment of
the United Stitee. ".'
Now, sir, I say, as a :result, of these prinot
pies, tbat,.coming up to.thle-standard in Buell
a time as this no loyal man will stop to inquire
what are the causes of, the war. ; There ia,St
war; there !a anAffort to destroy: the country;
there is an effort, to bring men who , have had
no heart for freedom as long , as. they have been
men, to reign , .over. us. Teal, I use :the word
reign, for, they look-to a monarchy, if not to
despotic power. I say that they look to bring=
`ing--men of that kind to.-,reign over ns Tinder
those:circumstances'. I say a man has no loy
alty who betrays his health -apneas to his coun
try, by alleging as an excuse for that,heartless
ness .and:. disloyalty, that,sectionaffsm brought
:on this war.. Suppose it, did. Why, there, has
'been sectionalism in ,this. j eonutry since 1820,
and we at the North then, under the protest of
the same base . hearts and base minds in the
country, yielded ; to,that sectianalism. We
met it again shout 1832, '3 or '4; and we
yielded- again.; And ; the gentleman who says
that that sectionalism was developed by the
free. States of. the North has not. read history
aright; he has read - it with a worse thin jaun
diced eye, with a perverted jgdgment. It is
notior me here to say what other _principle's
might have been operating upon him when he
thus interpreted history as saying that section
alisni arose at the North, or was carried into,

No, there is no fog about Gilmore We see

up for the country and those o: the brave men
that have been under him. Neither he nor
they have bun loot in a fog; and the day will

Well, now, upon this Turk question, I sup
pose they would use the language of their
friends South of Mason and Dixon's line, who
are endeavoring to overthrow our government,
and would call Butler a beast, only it would
not make rhyme; but I suppose Turk will do
as well as beast. I want just such Turka as
Butler—the kind of Turks who, when am an

him. [Applause.] And if a man is a Turk for
that, let us have a filre'more` Turks, and let

Noir, theV have left the last great man for
the last. We will see what they sang about
Grant! Oh! could they not have spared
that great man? Could they not have felt that
they were trespassing too much upon the pa
tienos'of the people of this country, Reselling
Grant,in tide way ? Did they know that one-hell
of them are anxious that Grant should be their
candidate fur the. Presidency ? And will they
say that Grant'S great victory of Chattanooga
is a step toward bringing the Union to smash?
Had the gentleman from Philadelphia read
this before he made his speeCh tc-night, and
talked about the Government of this country
continuing this war for the sake of continu
ing themselves in power ? Are Grant's actions
like the continuance of the war? Keep Grant
there, and I tell you that the war is soon to
close.
I. have dwelt .upon this longer than I ex

sentiment of those people who stand up herein
thki and other States of the North, and,acanse
those who are sustaining the . Gcvernmentof
disloyalty, whilst' every day that they are
speakidg they issue from their accredited or
gans such trashy articles and doggerel r hym es
es this. I agree again with my, friend
,from
Washington in saying that thisdoes not belong
to the mass of the people ofthis country. The
hearts of the mass of those who belong bi-the
great Democratic organization, as they now
tetra it, are with their country. Bat they
have fallen, I know not how; they'have fallen
into the bards of the Philistines; and men who
have been assailing them for years and years,
now assume to lead them, and they lead them
to, their destruction.
