I tascs iu)posod 0Q tho iaboring white pco Mr. Chairman, there is a manifest anx- plo of til0S0 Statog Not satis(icd witIl icty, an ovcrwecuiug desire, a persistent doing this much for your especial favorite, purposo, upon tno part oi iuo prominent members of the dominant party in this Government, to place upon terms of equal ity and make participants with us in tho rights of American citizenship an inferior raoo. The negro race, which is incapable of cither comprehending or maintaining any form of government by whom lib erty is interpreted as licentiousness is sought to be exalted, even at tho cost of tho degradation of our own flesh and blood. Wo all remember witli whatintonso sat isfaction a recent order of tho Secretary of State, Mr Seward, one of tho chief clerks of the President, was received in certain quarters, because it declared that no fugi tive slave should bo retained iu custody onger than thirty days, unless "by speciul order of competent civil authority." That I may do no injustice to the head of tho Stato Department and his unwarran ted assumption of power, I quote tho offi cial paper itself; "Dej'Autuent op State, "il'athingion, January D5, 1602. J "Sir; Tho l'rosidcut of tho United States being satisfied that tho following instructions coutraveno no law in forco in this Distriot, and that they can bo execu ted without waiting for legislation by Con gress, I am diicctad by him to convoy thorn to you: "As Marshal of tho District of Colum bia, you will not receive iato .custody any persona claimed to lo hold to servieo or hbor within tho District or elsuwhcro, and not charged with any criuio or mis demeanor, unless .upon arrest or .commit ment pursuant to law, as fugitives from such sorvico or labor ; and you will not rtain any fcuch fugitivesin custody beyond a period of thirty days from their arrest and commitment, unless by special order ; of competent civil authority. "You will forthwith causo publication to be inado of this order, and at tho ex piration of ton days therefrom you will ' apply tho samo to all persous so claimed to bo hold to sorvico or labor, and now in your custody. "This order has no relation to any ar rests niado by military authority. ''I am sir, your obedient servant, "WILLIAM II. SEWARD." Privileges for the IScgro Opjucssiotifor the White Alan. While Mr. Seward was issuing this or der for a general jail delivery of tho ne groes, ho was also sending, under a usur pation of power, and in violation of tho laws and tho Constitution, hundreds of white men and women to fill tho cells of the prisons in this District and throughout the loyal States. Against many of these white men and white women thus incar cerated by this despotic Secretary of State, no charge has ever hecu made; they arc imprisoned without tho form or authority of law, and thus the personal liberty of tho Caucasian is ruthlessly violated, while tho African is most tenderly and carefully guarded, even to the nullification of State enactments and the national statutes. Let a rumor become current that a negro has been deprived of personal liberty cither in this District or anywhere else and thcro arc dozens of Republican members upon this floor striving to obtaiu the atten tion of the House while they may offer resolutions inquiring by what law, by whom, when and whero thesn objects of their undivided affections may have been arrested. Dut never yet has any of theso philanthropic gentlemen made inquiry for tho law aud or authority under which white American citizens havo been kid napped by the State Department, dragged from their homes, and left to pine, aud die perchance, in some of tho mauy has- rtilcs which this Administration hai cstab- lished. It is well known, sir, that if any white citizen, perhaps a father or brother, des- ires to visit a relative or acquaintance in the military service of this Government, that ho is obliged to secure a "pass" from some competent authority, and to obtaiu this he is required upon his honor to de clare his loyalty and fidelity to the Gov ernment.

You issue rations lo them day after day, and week after week, rations which must be paid for through tho sweat and toil of ! tho tax ridden white men. You arc thus I supporting in indolence hundreds upon hundreds of black men. How many and at what cost I am unable to state, because when a resolution, asking" for this infor mation, was introduced by the honorable gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Cox,) it was immediately tabled by the Republican majority upon tho other side of this House. Tliose gentlemen daro not let this information go to the country; thoy shrink from the exposure which a truthful reply to such inquiry would iuako, Tho resolution of Mr. Cox also asked for the number of negroes employed as teamsters in the army, and at what wages ; but this was equally objectionable, for it would havo illustrated tho fact that ne groes by the hundred aro receiving better pay as drivers than our own whito sons and brolhcrs aro for periling their lives as soldiers iu jthe .defence of tho Union and tho Constitution, Haying been thus deprived of obtaiu iug official information upon these ques tions, Ism obliged to gather my statistics from such sources as I can. I shall niako no statement that I have not received 1 10 m respectable and responsible parlies, and nono which I do not coueeiyc to ho rather under than over the true estimate. Tho Government is to-day issuing ra- tions to about two thousand negroes in this District alone, that cost over twenty cents per ration $100 per day, in viola- and Florida issues an order to enrol corn lion of law, is being paid for this purpose, panics, regiments and brigades of ncgroos Tlio Government is hiring in the District several hundred negroes, some as team sters and some for other purposes, to tho exclusion of white laborers, thousands of whom, together with their wives and children, in our largo cities, aro suffering for the want of employment. I speak advisedly when I say that the Republican party a-e already paying, of tax gathered money, in this District alone, over three hundred thousand dollars per annum to buy, clothe, feed and exalt the African race. Thus for the negro you expend more in a single year in the District of Columbia than you appropriate for the government and protection of all the peo ple in all the organized Territories of the United States. The negro is made supe rior, in your legislation, to the pioneer while men that settle the great West, and amid hardships und dangers, lay the foundations of the new commonwealths, the hardiest and noblest men of our com nion country. So the people arc taxed yearly more for the benefit of the black race in this District alone than it costs to maintain the burdens of State government iu cith er Iowa, Mirhigan, Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Now Jersey, Delaware or Maryland. Onehundrcd thousand dollars per day ex pended on lazy negroes. Hut it is not in this District alone that you require the people to pay tribute to the idol of your affections. Wherever you find our army, with one or two hon orable exceptions, you will find that hundreds of rations are being issued daily to unemployed negroes who rendezvous in and about the camps; wherever thu army is they arc being employed iu various ca pacities at good wages, and to the utter exclusion of white labor, that now languishes iu irksome idleness through out our country. I state there fore, and 1 think truthfully, that the Gov ernment is already paying Sl()i),000 per day for tho support and employment of negroes paying it, too, out of money raised through the toil, deprivation and taxation of our own kith and kin. In my district, Mr. Chairman, my constituents arc selling corn at eight cents per bushel, in order to support their fam ilies aud maintain the honor ami integri ty of our Government. Shall money thus raised ami for such a purpose be diverted to the entertainment of the Af rican ? AVill my people, will the people anywhere, endorse the party and the Ad ministration that thus seeks the clcv.ition of the negro, even at the cost of ruin to their own race i TIlc Negro placed upon an equality with our sailors and soldiers. One might suppose that your aulor in the i-arc and protection of the negro would stop and cool here but no, you go still lurtlicr. Having made him your equal as a civilian, you now seek to place him on the same level with American sailors and soldiers. First came the or der of the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Welles, as follows ; "Navy Department, April 30, 1802. "Sir: The approach of tho hot aud sickly season upon tho Southern coast of tho United States renders it itnpcrativo that every precaution should bo used by tho officers commanding vessels to continue tho excelleut sanitary condition of their crews. Tho largo number of persons known as 'contrabands' flocking to the protection of the United States flag affords an oppor tunity to provide in every department of a ship, especially for boats' crows, acclimated labor. Tho flag officers aro required to obtain tho sorvico of theso persons for tho country by enlisting them freely in tho navy, with thoir consent, rating them as boys, at eight, nino, or ton dollars per mouth, aud ono ration. Let a monthly return bo inado of tho number of this class of porsons employed cn each vessel under your commaud. I am respectfully your obedicut servant. "GIDEON WELLES." Under tho plea of tho approach of the sickly scacou, Mr. Wollcs issues this ordor ; under tho samo plea tho negro may bo galled iute any corvico in tho South through tho sickly Bcason, and t&o toriblo effect it jiught havo upon our army aud navy, was uot thought of by auy Republican official until recently. Having mado this progrcsivo stop in our navy (as my colleague from tho Rureau Distriot Mr. Lovojoy would call it,) it remains to bo emulated iu our army. Not long docs it wait an imitator; Gcnoral D I M. Hunter, commanding ia iho iiir.Uary department of Sot Gxroltuia, Georgia in tho millitary sorvico of tho United States. Thus, in less than two years after tho acccsion to power of tho Hopublican party, tho negro is undo, as far as possible, tho equal of tho whito man as a civillian, a sailor and a soldier. Nay more than this, tho Constitution is violated that whito men may bo bereft of guarrantccd rights. Whito men aro stripped of tho armor of American citizenship in ordor that the negro may bo clothed therein. All this ha3 boon done against tho oarncst protest of all conservative men. And appropria tions and amendments to bills appropriating money for tho suppression of tho rebellion which provided that no tnoucys should bo diverted cither to tho freeing, tho support or tho enlistment of ncgroos, havo been invariably wroto down by tho Republican party in.thi3 House. Worse than this even, General Hunter, iu his zeal for tho negro, withdraws tho protection of his army from tho loyal citi zens of Jacksonville, Florida, in order to perfect his great negro boarding house and African military academy at tho mouth of the Savanuah river. This is undoubtedly in harmony with his brilliant discovery that African slavery and martial law aro incompatible. Common minds havo heretofore considered martial law and slavery, cither for whit:s or blacks, among tho moat coneordent institutions upon earth. This proclamatory com niandcr, who vici his profundity into the immortal General Phelps, undoubtedly considers martial law the very casket jew el of Amoricau liberty. My mind, Mr. Chairman, revolts at the idea of degrading tho citizen soldiery of my country to the'level of tho negro. Sir, tho American Volunteer has always been our reliance in peace and our vindication iu war. I am opposed, and you will find tho volunteer army of tho Union opposed to the equalization in the ranks of citizens and slaves. We must receive Negro Diplomatists. Haviug made such efforts for the ne groes of the United States, it would seem that tho zeal in their behalf would lag and languish. But, no ; you now go wander iug among iho islands of tho sea, and ovor the continents of tho globe, in pursuit of ucgro principalities and republics which you may recognize among tho powers of earth Uayti and Liberia furnish further matter for your infatuation to fatten upon aud you at onoo proceed to establish dt plomatio relations between the United Slates and these benighted and half made parodies upon human government At an annual expense of thousands of dollars, you propose to receive nogro di plomats from them, and send United States Ministers to them ; indeed you arc the champions of ucgro equality, without regard to cost, place, propriety or digni ty. This Congress has been in session near ly eight months, and all that I havo re viewed you havo done, and more you would do if you could, for the negro. What havo you accomplished for tho white man? Havo you provided for tho pay ment of pensions to tho soldiers who havo been disabled while fightiug tho battles of your couutry? Havo you appropriated money to relieve tho wauts aud necessities of tho widows and orphans of whito mcu who have perished upon tho battlc-fiolda defending the Constitution aud the flag of our country ! Ah, nol your timo has been too much engrossed with the negro to think of theso things. You have uot appropria- ted ono dollar for theso purposes purpo- bcs that should onlist the ability and tho sympathy of every patriot in tho land. If this statoracat is inoorrect; if this Republican party or its Administration havo ever mado a single effort in behalf of tho maimed soldiors, a tingle appropria- tion for tho support of tho orphans aud widows of slain soldiers, I hopo some gon- tleman upon tho other side of the House will correct mo. Thero is no rcsponeo, and I am reassured in the correctness of my as sertion by your silence. Tho alleviation of sufferings of whito men or tho protec tion of their rights is not in your lino of philanthropy. Liko your illustrious prot otypes, Mrs. Jclcby, of tho Bori-bo-la ga mission, or tho Rov. "Aminidab Sleek," in the play of The Serious Family, to tho political brauoh of which you Abolitionists will soon belong, your sympathies are never activo in behalf of practioal and gcuuino benovoleuco. Jleasons against Equulizing the Jlaccs. Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to all these sickly schemes for equalizing tho ra- cos. God made tho whito man superior '. to tho black, and nolcgiilutioa will undo or chrngo tho decrees of Heaven. They aro unaltcrablo as tho laws of nature, eter nal as Divinity itself, and to legislate against them leads us to ipfidclity and ru in. Siuco creation dawned tho white raco has improved and advanced in the scalo of being, but as the negro was so is ho now. "But," say tho Abolitionists, "tho Afri can has been blessed with no opportunity for improvement." Who gavo tho whito man an opportunity for improvement ? God, in his infinite justice, placed the two races upon tho oarlh at tho beginning of happiness of tho earlier days of tho Ul timo to work out their respective destinies, public. Sir, these armies wero raised Id History lias faithfully recorded their execute tho laws aud maintain tho auMi r aohicvemcnts.

As God i of that instrument. And, sir, it remain., mado them so havo thoy remained, and, 1 for the people at tho ballot box to eup unlike tho Abolition cqualizatiouists, I ' press these Northern violators of tho C'-a- find no fault aud utter no complaint against tho wisdom and justice of our Creator, The ovils of tho attempted equalization of tho races is illustrated by the history of Mexico. That country was settled by j tho intelligent Spaniard, a race not interi- or to our own ancestors, 'iiioy dovcl- oped the resources ot tno count.-y uy Dun-1 ding roads, Highways and canals. All along their hue of march the church and i schoolhouso were erected as landmarks of their progress. But finally the idea of tho equalizing of the races became popular ; tho attempt was made, the races were com mingled, and thenceforward the deteriora tion of the people were rapid and fearful.
