CLOSE OF THE EUROPEAN WAR..

. would bo greatly gratified by a conqu

almost simultaneously occupied Hanover j

LETTER FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL
SPEED.
Washington, I). C, July 14, 1HG0.
To lion. J. It. Doolittle, Chairmin,&e .
Snt I have the honor to acknowledge
tho receipt of your note of the 10th inst,
with a printed copy of a call for n Nation
nl Convention; to beheld ot Philadelphia
on the 14 day of August next. You
request, in caso the call, and the princi
ples enunciated in it, meet my approval,
that I reply at my earliest convenience
Tliis language would seem to imply that
no answer is desired if I do not approve
tho call and the principles avowed in it;
in- other words, that a failure to reply
may be interpreted as a disapproval, not
only of the call, but of each and all of
tho principles announced in it.
This is a position in which T am Unwil
ling to bo placed, when I approve of
many ot the principles sot forth in the
call, and yet do not approve of the call
itself I will briefly statu my rcas ns;
! ni'st premising that I do not recognize
the very respeotablegontlonien who have
niado this call as the acknowlcdd
organs of the great Union party of the
country.
Since tho outbreak of tho terrific- strug
gle from which the country has now
emerged, we havo had a National Union
party that 'has exhibited more devotion,
made greater sr.ct iliees, and in inifested
more unselfish patriotism than any party
ever di 1 proviout.lv in the history of the
world. That party is still in being, with

of the Stales, through which only can a
particle of tbo theory of Stato rights
ever be mainUuneiLmid carried out, it
would appear to me to be still the only,
or at any rate tho most cffjotual means,
as fir as party oau do it, of finally adjus
ting all the remaining minor and unset
tled matters of reconstruction consistent-,
ly with tho requirements of the theory
mentioned.
I havo said that many of tho principles
slated in the call are, in my viow, objec
tionable, but content, myself with stating
that the call fails to. tke any notico of
one oi mo great issues now before tho
American peoplo
I allude to th.i ques-
t ion whether
tho several iSlatcs shall

lnutrhing to scorn both the assaults of
foes internal or oxternnl. nd the ravages
of time and change, will only be obtain
ed by sternly retraoling every departuro
from, or oornproruiso with, the supromo
nnd general idea of the American funda
mental law, the 'Constitution. That
general Idea consists, in brief, of the
political liborty. ad equality of mankind
under the law
uuti, and moll only,.
( can be tho Union, the uat,ioality, that
will put in lonn tho magnificent and
lofiy dreams of tbo American continen
tal mind, and fulfil in the future the
highest cfl'ort of the present nnd the
past. It is not the vague delusion that
the rights of the States r.eed doctoring.
Tho American theory culminates proper
ly in tlio saoreduess ot the rights ot indi-viduals-uf
eai'h single individual. That,
after all, is what Washington carved
out will) tho sword, and Jellcrson,
filtering it through his subtlo and free
mind, drew up and put on record with
the pen.
It is well known that in fhe'politicall
ami legal History oi tnu United Slates,
tho only departures or compromises of
tho kind alluded to havo been those in
the interests of slavery, nnd of its mani
fold incidents. I do not, of course,
propose to go over tho thousand times
told talo of the past sixty years. To
day, slavery, as a confessed legality, is,
as we nil know, no more. J it I some
of the most important of its incidents or
compromises still remain blot
incongruities upon this law.
and
What
equitablo leason can be given why these
inck'cuts also tdiuuld not. be erased t
Timo was that when tho brains were out
tho man would die; but now we see the
limbs demanding to live nnd move, as if
the nervous center still existed.
The persistent 'attempt to keep In tho
Constitu'ion the rule of an unequal and
un'f .iir ba; is of representation is perilous
. ,t . l.l . ,
to he i.i ure penco of ho country, nnd
will surely cause a dialing sense of injus

thing to credit btitso it is, nnd tho re-
cord ot infamy is emblazoned forever
and ever in the legislative minutes.
There were but six nieq in the Stato of.
Pennsylvania so lost to all senso of lion-
or or of shanib as to voto against self
defence, and li'estei- Clymer was one o'
them.
Wonld thnt every man woman and
child could know this. Wester Clymer
was ii; favor ot surrendering without
firing a shot. He quailed at the "pistol
and bowie-knife, ami oaths ot truculent
traitors, before thoy had marched one
s'.pp or shotted one gun. Wester Cly
mer, whoso grandfather signed tho Dec.
laration of Independence, cowered at
tho crack of the sluvedriver's lai-h, and
was willing to trail the colors of a Com-
'monweiilth consecrnted by a thousand
memories ot rovobtionnry suffering and
sacrifice without a struggle, without even
a word.
What right lias ho to f.ioo a woman in
all this land T the recreant, dastard
'fal jo to his country, false to his ancestry,
false to his own fieosido; And this b
the man whom the surrender Democra
cy urcsumptioualy call on soldiers lo
support) Is thero a soldier who can
bear that rooord I
' This same bill organized the Pennsyl
vania 'Heservos thnt herolo phalanx ol
the Commonwealth. Clymor would
havo strangled this corps in Its cradle
He would have had Pennsylvania, cf all
tho Northern Stntes, alone, witliont a son
to defend her. Every soldier of tha
glorious Reserves went out against this
man Clymcr's will, and won the undying
honor which it over will bo, to havo
been enrolled in those immortal legions
in spite of Clymcr. He proved his own
manhood and shielded his own home,
nnd gathered new laurels for the osglos
of the Commonwealth, in defiance cf
the wrotohod and troas nnb!e efforts of
this Clymer this man who, In pusilan
Imity and faithless, ont-Vallandlg-hamsd
Vallandighatn la tho very first
hour of tho rebellion.
Soldiers of the old Reserves, you men
who ogam and again havo borno, with -'
out fear or flinohlng, the fiercest flames
of batllo against fthose steady front again
and again have rolled th; stormiest
waves of treason, can you vote for this
man? .Will it be doing right to your
selves! Will it bo doing honor to ihe
memory of the martyr boys who fell bo
sidoyout Think of this, yen who are
tho comrades ot tho dead.
We are not talking now to tho men
who never saw a battle, w hoo boidct-t
march was to the purlieus of Washing
ton, who got honorably discharged be
foro they even heard the w hiz of a bos
tile bullet or faced the forked flame ot a
rdbel musket who deserted tluur com
rades even in advance ot danger. We
are talking to and thinking of tlio men
who have stood elbow to elbow in tlio

touch of battle. To thesa. nu n who

oalldross the people of 1'ennsylvanm
from the .Senate chamber of this State,
I have various reasons for opposing this
proposion. In tho first place, I here
boldly proulaim that ho is not at this
hour, and never has been, by the Con-
st.ttU.onor.mdertho laws, tho Cover-
norot tho Statu of Tennessee except
when years R0 ho was elected to that
otl!co by the people. I say sir, that his
appointment by tho President of tho
United Mates to that poilion was a usnr
,. ,, ,
pation ol power on the part ot the 1 rest-
dent, nnd that there is no warrant under
the Constiftition, no authority m ihe
laws for his appointmenti and tliat every
act which 'ha has assumed -to petform by
virtue of Ins unconstitutional and illegal
appointment hasten in derogation ot
tho rights of a sovereign Stat, and in
Hat violation of tho Constitution ot the
United States.

mado 'to' carry out and stibvcmo the pur
poses t tho present -administration,.!
which 'is to reduce all Urn -States of this
Union to tho condition of mere depen
dencies of a consolidated oligarchy or
despotism. That, is my position, so fir
as concerns this pretended Governor ol
Tennessee. Andrew Johnson has not
been for years, and is not now the Guy

then, I say to yen, Mr. Speaker, that I
never by my vote will allow a man to
come into these halls and from tins placo

Andrew Johnson has gone as "fur as the
farthest, and is ready lo go still fuither.
lo destroy, to uproot, to upturn every
principle upon which ibis great ami
good Government of ours was founded.
1 know that he has bent with suppliant
knee before tho throne of power : I
know that for polfnf'some other consul
ovation 'ho has succumbed to every mens
nro presented to him for approval ordis.
approval i nnd I know that in speeches
delivered in hc I'npitols of other Slates
ho has enunciated doctrines which if
adoptod by the people- o'f the gn nt North
would be subversive of individual free
dom nnd personal right. Sir, by no
voto of mine can uny person holding
uioh views address the people of i.nn .
ylvnnia rn this chamber. Never, sir.
never, so long as I have a rignt to forbid
him."
THE VETO.
On tho ICth inst., Andrew Johnson
sent to tho llouso cf Representatives, in
whloh body the new treedmen'a bureau
bill originated, a message vetoing the
bill just passed. The bill iu question
was framed somo time ago, 'in the hopo
thnt it might moot tho President's ap
provnl, but his acts ench day diminished
tho hope thnt ho would nppiovo so nvo
cssary a measure, until at last ho has
again shown his oolors. The messago
in question Is not vory long, but it means
much. We seo that the writer Is op
posed in every way to ndvancing tho
condition of the colored population of
the South. With this Idea he vtted tho
bill of last winter. Tho present messacro !
Is but little mote than a reflex of the old
one, and micht have served as ils oritr-
inn) draft. One or two now nrinoinles '
are added,, but thoy ore more specious
, t. . ' I I
than real. Such a bill ho thinks can
only bo passed under the war rower i
and In the snmo broolh ho says that thero
U no neccslty for this kind' of legislation,
that is, there is no "necessity to help
suffering people a prosoribed'raco, troi-
uen iimier loot ty their toi'moi master.
He claims that the civil courts are open
to the freed men." This has some truth.
A court is open to the free.dmcn, but he
will bo seen n prisoner in tho dock.
Sould he appear ns a complainant he is
told that there is no law to reach hit case
or tlio witnesses that ho wonld bring to
save him. nro nnt allowed to testily what
they know. These and other arguments
were pascntcd, but they tailed to.satisfy
the House, nnd immediately upon the
conclusion of the reading of the message
tho bill was passed over tho veto by
more than a two-third vote. The Sen
ate immediately followed, and by theif
official net denounced the voto. The bill
llieieforo, is now a law of the laud.
THE TARIFF BILL.
Tho Houso pa-scd a supplementary
Tariff bill repi.rtcd by Mr. Morrill. . It,
merely protects the Government in in'
creasing the present duties on several
alleles, tho importation of which is very
largo, and duties on same very small.
The principal item ot the bill is tho ilec
tiou adding to present duties on all im
ported merchandise th8 cost of transpor.
tntioti-shipment, of trans-shipment, with
all fxtk'oiNia including from plane of
growth, production, or manufacture
whether by land or water, to I ho vessel

goals are contained) commission at
usual rates, but in no case less than
per centum ; brokerage, export duty,
