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 Tie- u t which they did they repealed.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 vorabln uuKuricf that that iimy l» • P“»'i* ble. Notyet nclii«*vf*4 not oven insisted upon, by no mean* u corininty ; but, put tlogtliif aside, educalior , labor, property, xiiarriKKe. locomotion, citizenship, suf- lraj/c. every sin^ e point that dm or mi nos the condition »»t th« man, thu .Stato, iliu E&cr.A, inci' «LiiiClihle,uinippr<»achod Stale, »tili keep, loldod in ln*r bos».m, denvin^, ^ th the full consent of tho i'Vdo ent, that they have i it. Tho m*xro, if lm i Union, phvs : “Gentlemen, our shiest place i« in the Union. Grant it th.u iln* idea of 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 ourselves 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 ! '. There is not one ! Kio passingalluah.n in the wlu)lospc<*eh io the lights of freemen. Not one. He 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| plauso.] That is the whilo Ido idea of liberty, and w hr the,black man to liberty wt* ImvR they Kiiinod ? Thqy kept thu piirty 'a ''r I wus m 'Jai.'fSftr o?

They "i't it ft unit oml Mtcrificod it o unit. They garuitif do the and”—with an oath I need not repeat— shall be tho while man’s country,” I do not care. If another man say.- that the President said to him, “1 dread thu New England radical as much as t ic S -uth Carolina disunionist;” or if he .-end* ; to down, as ho has to-day, and gives I Jon Davis, on tho ban pi, Ins plantation Those t' 11ml ' \! iaeissip- 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: deuce me' ii* that it shall bo permis«ab! in the nature of things for you to nay here, I don't know ; it is u great qu> wo did not consider the thing .* when we asked you to fight bo tho try, but, now the tight is over. aib. to suggest to you the groat laws, about j which we know -o litto*, on tiiequostion | whether or not it will be possible lor your race to remain in th" nmu country with :ai Uov« | ti itJ while race which 1 represent.
