Soulhfiai Damls to Pay the National Debt—The South a Conquered Territory —The Crime of Treason—'* K< storallon" the Seed of He billion. Thaddeus SteVens. member of Congress ■from Pennsylvania, delivered a speech in Lancaster, Pa., September 6, on the policy of reconstruction, from which we make the fol lowing cxtncls THE SOUTH THREW OFETTS ALLEGIANCE. Pour years of bloody and expensive vat, waged against the United Slates by eleven States, under a government called the ‘'Con federate States of America,” to which they acknowledged allegiance, have overthrown all govenmenta within those States which could be acknowledged as legitimate by the Union. The armies of the Confederate States having been conquered and subdued, aad their territory possessed by ibe Unifed States, it becomes necessary io establish .gov ernments therein, which shall be repub teen tn form and principles, aad form a “ more perfect union” with the parent government, it is desirable that such a course should be pursued as to. exclude from those govern ments every vestige of human bondage, aud render the same forever impossible in this nation • and to take care that no principle of self destruction shall be incorporated therein. In effecting this it. is to be hoped that no pro- 1 vision of the constitution will be infringed, and i uc. principle ot the law ot nations disre- [ garded. Especially must we take care that j in rebuking this unjust and treasonable Vvfif j the authorities of tiie Union pball indulge in ( do acts of usurpation which may tend to im pair the stability and permnueuev of the na tion. Within these limitations we hold it to be ibe duty of the government to inflict condign puutelunefct on the rebel belligerents, and so weaken their hands that they c in never again endanger the Union, and so reform their municipal institutions as to make them re publican in spirit as well as in name. WIIAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE SOUTH. We especially insist tbat the property of ttao chief rebels should be‘seized and appropriated to the payment of the national debt, caused by the unjust and wicked war which th ry in stigated. How can such punishments he in flicted and such forfeitures produced without doing violence to established principles ? Two positions have been suggested : First —To treat those States as never Slav ing been out of the Union because the. con •dilution forbids secession, and there fore a fact forbidden by law could not exist. Seco.d— To accept the position in which they placed themselves as severed from the Union—an independent government de facto and an alien enemy, to be dealt with accord ing to the laws of war. THE CRIME OF TREASON. The crime of treason can be committed where the person is actually or potentially present. Jefterson Davis sitting in Richmond, counselling, or advising, or commanding an inroad into Pennsylvania, has committed no overt act iu this State, and can be t ried, if anywhere, only in the Richmond dust riet.— The doctrine of constructive presence aud constructive treason will never, I hope, pollute our statutes or judicial decision*. Se lect an impartial jury from Virginia, and it is obvious no conviction could ever be had. Possibly a jury might be packed to con vict r but that would not bean "impartial’' jury. It would be judicial murder, and would'rank in infamy with the trial of Lord Russell', ex cept only that the one was the murder of nu innocent man, the other of a traitor. The same difficulties would exist in attempting forfeitures,'; which can only follow conviction ia States protected by tiie constitution, and then it is said only for the life of the male factor. Congress' can pass no "lull of at tainder.” HOW TO BEGIN RECONSTRUCTION. What right lias any one to direct a conven tion to be held in a sovereign State of this Union, to amend ifs constitution and pre scribe the qualifications of voters ? ThC sovereign power of the nation is lodged in Congress. Yet where is the warrant in the constitution tor such sovereign power, much less the Executive, to intermeddle with the domestic institutions of a State, mould its laws and regulate the elective trauchlse ? It would be rank, dangerous and deplorable usurpation. In reconstruction, therefore, no reform can be effected in the Southern States if they have never left the Union. But re iortnation must be effected-, the foundation of their institutions, political, municipal and social, must be broken up and relaid, or all our blood and treasure have been spent iu vain. This can only be done by u rating and holding them as a conquered peo pie.— Then all things which we can deßire to do follow with logical and legitimate authority. As conquered territory Congress would have foil power to legislate for them ; for the Ter ritories are not under the constitution oitcept no Jar as the express power to govern them is given to Congress. They would be held in a territorial condition until they are At to form State constitutions, republican in .fact, not in form only, and ask admission into tho Union as new States. If Congress approve of their constitutions, and think they have done works meet for repentance, they would 'be admitted as now States. If their constitu tions are not approved of they would Ims sent back, until they have become wise enough so to purge their old laws as to eradicate every despotic and revolutionary principle—until they shall have. learned to venerate the De claration of Independence, ido not touch on the question of negro suffrage If in the Union the State* have long ago regulated that, and for the central government to inter fere with it would be mischievous impertin ence If they ate to be admitted as new States, they must form their own constitu tion, and no enabling act could dictate its terms Congress' could prescribe the quali fications of voters while a Territory, or when proceeding to call a convention to form a State government. That is the extent of the power of Congress over the elective franchise whether in a territorial or State condition. The President has not even this or any other power to meddle in the subject, except by art vice to Congress— and they on Territories. Congress, to be sure, has some sort of com pulsory power by retusing the States adnsfs non until they shall have complied with its -wishesupon this subject. Whether those who have fought our battles should all be allowed to vote, or only those of a paler hue, t leave to he discussed in the future When CoDsrtss can take legitimate cognirsuceof it. There are about 6,000,000 ot freedmen in the South The number of acres of land is 465,000,000 Os this those who own above 200 acres each number about 70,000 persons holding in the aggregate—together with the Shoes—about 394,000,000 acres, leaving for all the othets below 200 each about Vl.ooo - 000 acres. By thus forfeiting the estates of the leading rebels the government would have 394,000,000 of acres, beside their town property, and yet nine-tenths of the people ‘would remain untouched. Divide this land into convenient tarms. (five, if you please, forty acres so each adult male treedman.-- Suppose there arc 1,000,000 of them. That would require 40,000,000 of acres, which de ducted from 394,1KK),000, leaves 334,000;000 of acres for sale. Divide it into suitable farms, and sell it to the highest bidders. I think it, Including town property, would average at least sto per acre. That would produce $3,540,000,000. Let that be applied as follows, to wit: 1. InvestfSOO,ooo,ooo in six percent govern ment bonds, and add the interest semi-an nually to the pensions of those who have In come entitled by this villainous war. 2. Appropriate $200,000,000 to pay the damage done to loyal men, North and South, by the rebellion. 3. Pay the residue, being $3,040,000,000, toward the payment of the national debt. IHE RATIOS AL DEBT Our wsr debt is estimated at from three to soui billions of dollars. In my judgment. when all is funded and the pensions capi talized, dt will retch more than four billions. The interest at *ix per cent, only (now much more) $240,000,000 The ordinary ex penses of our gov ernment are r . 120,000,000 For some years the extraordinary expenses of our army arid navv will be 110,000.000 Total $47«»,0*0.000 j Four hundred and seventy millions to be j Taised by taxation ! Our present heavy taxes 1 will ia ordinary years, produce but little ! more than half the sum. Cau our people bear ■ double their present taxation ? He who un- I necessarily causes it will be accursed from gen ; eratiou to generation ,It in fashionable to bc- I little our public, dab;. lest the peaple should become alarmed, and political parties should ! suffer. I have never found it wise to deceive i the people. They can always be trusted with the truth. Capitalists will not be af fected ; for they cannot be deceived. Con fide iu the people, ant) you will avoid repu diation. Deceive them, and lead them into false measures, and you may produce it. We pity the'poor Englishman, whose na tional debt and burdensome taxation we have beard deplored (rota our childhood.— The debt of Great Britain ia just about a3 much as ours (SUO9C,OOO t OOCf) four billions. But in effect it is but half as large ; it bears but three per cent interest. The current year the riianceflor of the Exchequer' tells us the interest was $131.81X5.990. when ali shall be funded, will be nearly double. The plan we have proposed would pay at least three-fourths of our debt. The balance could bemanaged with otir present taxation. WHO HAS KILLED SLAVERY While I hear it said everywhere tbatslave- Ty js dead, I cannot learn who killed it. Mo thoughtful man has pretended that Lincoln's prdclaoretion, So noble fri sentiment* iiber-. ated a single slave. It expressly excluded fiotn its operation all those within our lines. No slave within any part of the rebel States, in our possession, or in Tennessee, but only those beyond pur limits and beyond our | power were declared free. 8o Gen. Smith conquered Canada by a proclamation ! The President did not pretend to abrogate the slave laws of any of the States. ‘-Restore I tlon,” therefore, will leave the “Union as it i was”-—a hideous idea. lam aware tbat a 1 very able and patriotic gentleman, and learn- I ed historian, Mr. Bancroft, has attempted to ptace their freedom on different grounds. He says, wbat is undoubtedly true, tbatthcproC lamation of freedom did not free a slave But be liberates them, on feudal principles. Under the feudal system, when a king con quered his enemy, lie parceled out his lands and conquered subjects among bis chief re miners; the lands and serfs were held on condition of fealty and rendering military service when required. If the subordinate chief rebelled, lie broke the condition on which he held them, and the land and serfs became forfeited to the lord paramount. But ft did not free the serfs. They, Witli the ma nors, were bestowed on other-favorites. But i the analogy fails in Another .important re spect. The American slaveholder does not hold, by virtue of any grant from any lord ! paramount—least of all by a grant from the ! general government. Slavery exists by no iaw of the Union, but simply byloenl laws— by the laws of the States, ltebeinou against the national authority is a breach of no con dition of their tenure. It were more analo gous to say that rebellion against a State un der whose' laws they held might, work a for feiture. But rebellion against neither gov ernment .would per se have any Bticli effect. On whom would the lord -paramount again bestow the slaves t* uw’thttory is plausible, but has no solid foundation. “RESTORATION" THE SEED Os REBELLION. The President says to the rebel States, “Before you can participate in the govern lneqt you must abolish slavery and refotm your election laws." Tbat is command of a conqueror. That, is reconstruction, not restoration—reconstruction, .too, by assum ing the powers of Congress. This theory will lead to melancholy results. Nor can the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery ever be ratified by three fourths of Lite States, if they are States to be counted. Bogus conventions of those States may vote fi r it; but no convention honestly and fairly elected will ever do it. The frauds will not permanently avail. The cause of liberty must rest on a firmer basis. Counterfeit govern ments, like the Virginia, Loulsiaua, Tennes see,. Mississippi and Arkansas pretences, will be disregarded by the sober sense of the people, by future law, and by tiie courts. "Restoration" is replanting the seeds ot re bellion, which within the next quarter of* century will germinate and produce the same bloody strife which has just ended. THE SOCTK SHOULD BE A REPUBLIC OF TOIL. If the South is ever to be made a safe re public, let her lands be cultivated by the toil of the owners, or the free labor of intelli gent citizens. This must be doue even though it drive her nobility into exile. If they go, all the better. It will be bard to persuade the owner oi ten thousand acres ot land, who drives a conciv and four, that he is not degraded by sitting at the same table, or in the same pew, with the embrowned and bard-banded farmer who has himself cultivated his-own ■ thriving homestead of One hundred and fifty dcfe<4 This subdivis ion of the lands will yield ten hales of cotton to one that is made now, and he who pro duced it will own it and feel himself a man. THE BLAIR FAMILY. It is far easier and more beneficial to exile 70,000 proud, bloated and defiant rebels tbau to expatriate 4,000,000 of laborers, natives to the soil and loyal to the government.— This latter scheme was a favorite plan of the Blairs, with which they had for a while in oculated our late satnuetl President But a single experiment made him- discard it and his advisers. Sinqe, 1 -have mentioned the Blairs, I may say a ward more of these per sistent apologists |rf th». South For, when the virus of slavery has once entered the veins of the slaveholder, no. subsequent ef fort seems capable of wholly eradicating it, Thay are a family of considerable power, some merit, of admirable Budaclty and exe crable selfishness. With impetuous alacrity they seize the White House, and hold pos session of.it, as iu the , late, administration, until shaken off by the' overpowering force of public IhdignatioD. Their pernicious counsel had well nigh defeated the re-elec tion of Abraham Lincoln; and if it should prevail with the present administration, pure and patriotic as President Johnson is admit ted to be, it will render him the most un popular Executive—save ope—that ever oc cupied the Presidential chair. But there is no fear of that. He will soon 9ay, as Mr Liueoln did, “Your time has come !” All DEFENDS ON CONGRESS. Is this great conquest to be in vain ? That will depend tlpon the virtue and intelligence of the next ' Congress. To Congress alone belongs the power of reconstruction—of giv ing law to the vanquished. This is ex pressly decided by the Supseme Court of the lw. in the Dorr case, 7th Howard, 42. The Court-tty, “C oder this article of the constitu tion (the 4th) it rests with Congress to decide what government is the established one in a State; for the United States guarantees to each a republican form of government ” &c But we know how difficult it is for a major ity of Congress to overcome preconceived opinions. Besides, before Congress meets things will be so inaugurated—precipitated— it will be still more difficult to correct, If a majority of Congress-can be found wise and firm enough to declare the Confederate Stales a conquered enemy, reconstruction will be easy and legitimate, and the friends of lree dom will long rule in the councils of the na tion. If restoration prevails the prospect is gloomy, *nd "new lords makes new laws." Ihe Luion party will be overwhelmed. The copperhead party has become extinct with secession. But with secession it will revive Under restoration” every rebel Btate will send rebels to Congress, and they; with their allfos in the North, Will confroll Congress, and wi 1 occupy the While Hoase. Then restoration of laws and ancient will he sure to follow, our public* debt will Be repudiated, or the rebel national debt" Will be added to ours, and the people be crushed beneath heavy burdefce. REBELS TO Mt THE DEBT Let us forget ali parties and build on the broad platform of ‘ reconstructing" the gov eminent oat of the conquered territory con verted into ne-.v and free States and admitted into ihe Union of the sovereign power of (JoDgress, with another plank—-The prop erty of the rebels shall pay our national debt, and indemnity freeilruen and loyal sufferers, and that under no circumstances will wo suffer the national debt to be repudiated, or the interest sealed Inflow the contract rates ; nor permit any part or the rebel debt to be assumed by the nation.” YOC.'Li MEN MUST DO TnE WOIIK. Let all who approve of these principles rally with us. Let all others go with copper heads and rebeG. Those will be the op posing parties. Young men, this duty de volves on you. Wpola to God, if only for that, that 1 were still in the prime oflife', that I might aid you to fight through this last, greatest battle of freedom.
