Otnittitig bis preliminary remark?,which
relate only to hinisell anti bis lIo?ton au*
riiete we give his speech from tho point
whero he plunges in medUu res, us fol-
lows:
When Leo sheathed lii-swnnl, it was at
the bidding vt Virgit ta. w hick liad a voice
mere potent titan tiialol tbe Federal (It>\-
ernment. There was a thinl principle,
which was the accepted dogma of the
South, that the two races could never live
together ft? equals. The negro may he a
laborer, but never can exist with tho white
man on the plane of equality. In order to
e,intent him on tho plane of equality on
which it ought to he contented naturally,
if it wero really natural law, tho South
must illogicnlly deduce an argument that
he must be kept di-franohiseii and igno
rant because ho could not he trusted with
equality. Stale sovereignty for the pe
destal, and lit o neffro slave* ignorant in or
der that ho might bo contented The poor
white necessarily ignorant, from the uni
versa! principle that you cannot degrade
labor, and at tile same lime keep the la
boring classes in 1**1 ligent. Tho South,
tho pcdo.tal of Slate Lights,
whites in one hand, ami, as Jolt
dniph said, by white slaves in the other—
the Democratic party of t oNorth. Caste,
vn vl aristocraev. mailed in Slate rights,
lire I that gun at Sumter, and inaugurated
III" rt hellion. Caste, maile.i in Stale rights,
with the three fold whip of tile .-lave, til"
inj.tr white, and tho Northern slave, ruled
the federal Union. \V th the idea of the
impossibility of the two races on tho plane
of equality the South started in 1M11.
Suerinan has swept around the Cult;
(Irani lias pushed Lee down to Fredericks-
burg. Wlint of it.' Whore stands the
.South to-day .' And whore stands the
North.' How mn ih bits the South sacri-
lir-l? What one principle has she Ui.~
owned? What on" element of strength
has she parted with in political allairs .'
Spite rights untouched. From the Presi
dent at Washington to the la.-t rebel con
vention that has ever assembled, no word
has ever been uttered against the inde
structible nnturo of Slut" sovereignty.
There i- no crime in the decalogue ot either
Da'i na nr ini- rnational law tl.a van crip
ple tho iiidestrut.tible fovercignty of llio
Mutes. That is the normal line that funs
through every act and every address of
Preaid mt Johnson. With one or two ex-
i.q.ti. i. Southern Stale has ventured
to call tho secession ordinance ft nullity.
Tie- u t which they did they repealed.
They assert p. validity by tho very act of
repealing it They come into the Union
s- they went out of the Union, i^i aristoc
racy. No one single net of tho return is
submitted to tlie people. No one single
net nf die secession was submitted to tho
people. The same obligarchy that broke
up the Ft,ion condescend to re-enter it
with the samo steps, with the same usage,
under the ling of tho snino principlo. The
n-gro, porhupa—not enrtuinly—perhaps
tb**y lmv*» parted with tho chattel princi
ple, with the idea i hat thonu.no may be
sold on the auction block. Them are Le

chattel slavery ii* dead, ii' you plea***, mir
Democratic ullics will ^iveus back that
race in the condition of forced laborers,
and it does not matter in which state wo
have them, if wo have them under our
control.’’ Many instances ol tho utter
ance ot similur sentiments, tho speaker re
marked,, might bo brought forward, but
time would prevent allusion to them. The
answer would ho made, however, on the
part of some, that tho holm was still in
the hands of tho North, and thore was no
occasion of going south of Mason and
Dixon’s lino to con>Kb r ilm point at i-sue.
If you please, continued tho speaker,
will ro on to

House; we will listen to the ollicial expla
nation of the pre.-ent stage of public af
fairs; we will take tho speeches of the
President hiinselt—the closest witness we
can g' t ns to what will be the provable fu
ture of lli<* country. Well, 1 find him
Mir rounded by a delo^ntion of SuUth J at <»-
linians, almost every man of then lamil-
iar to u*, by name, for the last four years,
in a defiant, unmistakable, un. (jiiivocal
opposititm to tho Union. Tnoy are slud-
tering themselves unxb r hi* wit'#. They
aro thanking him for hi protection. Th» y
are draw a lino between him and tho
North. They say t<* him :
“Wo look upon > ou as our protection
from the adverse spirit of Congress and
tho Northern States.”
What is tliu ails\v**r of tiie President?
Does he say :
“Gentlemen, you listened to tun in tho
cannon shots at Pelorsnur:; ; you mij;ht
havo heard my voice in the .nst echoing
cannon that Grant, lirod bol’oro Jj'm* sur
rendered?’’ he say, “Gontlomun,
the North has fought her battle and won
it, and I stand as its representative?''
Oil, no; ho accepts tho compliment, be
defers to the in.-inuati.m. He arranges
with tho Southern half-convorl, and ho
makes himsolf t!ir * ijuartera rebel, i:i
order that they m.^y ho orieoppirlor
Union. And this t!ie moutlipicco of
the North. This i, the idlieial vote of the
nation. By what right do rebeir.trutnbling
for their status, hiding ihemuMves in the
s of the nation — by what ryemi
ey hide, even in our chief magis
trate. the intenti 'ii of the N'Ulh, wl.icli
she has been lighting for dun £ the last
four years, and gained at la^t. Ladies
and gentlemen, I do not say thi- because
1 am discouiaged. 1 do not believe that
Abraham jjincoin inis baulked the coun
try, nor Andrew Johnson deprived it of
tho success it has achieved since Ibfd, 1
In.vo no luck of faith in tho future of
America. But I am not discussing the
future of America, but 1 am discussing
this hour and its duuger-*. i turn trom
tho interview with the .Southerners, and i
sec the President advaiming from hi-
portico and looking down *»ti a regiment
of colored men. Nt itli the eolwrs of their
banner hardly distinguishahln, tin y stand
before him. What word.-does the Presi
dent of the Uniltd Sta.< s address to them 7
Let mo do him no inju-tico. Kvory one
of these men lm- givmi hi.- right hand,and
gmio into battle, iiis life in his hand, f.»r
the nation. I am not seeking t«> blame
the President. To me lm is only a coun
ter. 1 am seeking to find its mejning. 1
want to know how much he wiglis. 1
want to know the bin • of bis mind, lie
is not a dead man; I am not obliged to
glean history two centuries hack, and tin*
scanty relics of his sayings and his doings,
and make out his chaiactor. Government
is no guidon circle of midnight cons pirn-
tors. It acts in broad day, twelve hours
in tho day, and the President talks every
day. There is no difficulty in finding
wlmt liiiiiRi signify, and what arc the
plans proposed. 1 do not wi-di to go be
hind tho curtain. There used to be a
maxim—"pra'tov non curat <A, ininitnis"
— “the pne or dots not care for trillos.”
Those go f Urn lower court. Well, I
send down to tho lower court all stories
about tho President’s conversation, J
one man tells me that lie said to Govurnoi
Fletcher, “This is a while, man’s country,
• Pres-
liberty means as that uttered by t!-
^dent of tin* United States to the men '.hat
bad won it with their swords in hi- behalf.
Throughout this whole speec h lie defines !

Kio passingalluah.n in the wlu)lospc<*eh

says: “You are married ; you inert take
the penalties of marriage.” Well, I don't
know exactly what he means, but he says
you are free and freedom means to work,
and ho says you arc froo and must take
the penalties of freedom. II" don't grant
them even in idea one of the rights.
Throughout this whole speech lie tliruo
times undertakes to toll them what lib rly
moans—liberty to the black man-it is
liberty to work. Now, every student of
this subject knows tho history of tho word
liberty. In Asia, liberty means non-
slavery. That is, you were the property
nf another; you now work for yourself.
That is the crystalizod, stereotyped, rotten
conservatism of Asia. Conn* a thousand
miles westward. Napoleon d« -evil . - lib
erty as everything A r the people—nothing
by tho people, Tnat is liberty under des
potic institutions. Kvcrything for tho
people; no civil rights, but every imagin
able benefit that Government can .-ncuro
you. Liobor, Spencer, and every enlight
ened mind brod under tho English school
laughed nt such a definition. It was when
overnmont was weak, and the feudal
ibber in his castlo was strong, and the
effort ihon was to strengthen 11.o Govern-
•iit and curl) tho robber. Thai is tho
hi.-lory ol tho middle ages, but since Pro
testantism scattered the clouds of lltiropc,
Government is strong and the individual
is weak, and the tendency of our civili
zation is to build up bulwarks and devol-
opc, giving aid to men, and protecting
individuality against Government. Lib
erty, therefore, in every modern idea is a
man poss’o.Red of all his natural rights,
and endowed with civil right., to protect
his natural ones. That is liberty. [A|

f his brother,
things go to the lower court. For
me, I arraign the President of the I nitod
States, and know him by his ac ions, and
read and know him by his speeches.
Coming into Llio presence of these negro
soldiers, ho says: “Liberty-— and may I
not call you my countrymen—, ’ etc. Did
he buy to the South Carolina traitors,
“Shall 1 venture to call you country-*
men?” No; they were Southern white
men ; ho was ready to grant them, all the
facilities agreeable to tho occasion. Is
there a Now Englander who w*»u!d havo
stood in tip- presence < f tho Fifty fourth
Massachusetts regiment and a«lcnd t.he
liberty of culling them countrymen?
Out of what soil grow that doubt, whether
it was quite the thing to call a black
countryman? Why, <*ut «>!^ the latter
part of that very -peed), which says t
these men who have, cemented thirty-si
States with their b o.pj—"whether Prov:
