I cannot for myself start Ji\\tpei*»*ly the point which he assumes. In remarks on that occasion ho as- |ed that tho S ales lately in rebellion Bund are out of the Union. TurouRn- Uiij-pc « h — I will not trouble you with |ing passages from it—1 find him mg of the States a* 'outside of tho 1. u- ‘dead Mates,’ as ‘having for* all tboir rights, and terminated their |begisteiu'C.’ 1 lind him stating that ire and for four years l.avo boon out Union l«-r all legal -purpose#,’ as f,, V"" r yearn a aquarato uuui. a sopurate nation.

They i • 1 this Union, tbat&vory |vMneeiles bound t * tlio Union and srueinb.-rs of the Union by the Con* a 0! tl,,» uuited States. If they * t " it <>i th** I ni«*n it was ul some |u*»a tune ami by some specific act, the tightful jurisdiction of the Constitu tion oi tho United Slate*. They have in terrupted, lor a time, the practical enforce ment and exercise of that jurisdiction.— l hey rendered it impossible for a time for this government to enforce obedience to its laws, but there has novor been an hour when this government or this Congress, or thi> House, or tho gentleman from Penn sylvania himsolf, over conceded that those Slate- wore beyond the jurisdiction of the Constitution and laws of the United States. During all these four ye rs of war, Con gress has been making laws for the gov ernment of those very Stntcs, and tho gen tleman from Pennsylvania has voted for them aixl voted to raise armies to onforco them. Why was this done if they were a separate natiou? Why, if they wore not a part of the United Slates? Thoso laws wore made for them as State#. Mom hers have voted for laws imposing upon them direct taxes, which are apportioned ac cording to the Constitution only among the several State* according to their popu lation it* a variety of way*, to somo of which the gentleman who preceded mo has referred. This Congres* has by its ac tion assumed anil asserted that they wore f.ill States in tho Union though in rebel lion. and that it was with the rebellion we wero making war, and not with the States themselves as States, and still loss as a sep arate, as a foreign power. The gentle man from Pennsylvania citod a variety of log cal precedents and declarations of principle, nearly of them. 1 believe, drawn lmm the celebrated decision of the Su premo Court pronounced by Justice Grier, in what are popularly known as the prize eases. 11 is citations wore all made for the purpose of proving that the»-e States woro in a condition of public war, that they were waging 6uch a war us could only bo waged by a separate and independent power, but a careful scrutiny of that de cision will show that it lends not tho slight- o.-t* countenance to such an inference.— Gentlemen who hour mo will doubtless recollect that the object of tho trial in tlio.-o cases was to decide whether the war then raging was such a content as justified a resort to tho mode* and usages of public war, of which tho blockade was one. Jus tice Grier decided that it was—that so far n> the purpose* and weapons of war wero concerned, the two parties were belliger ents,and Hint the government might block ade tin* ports and capture property within the line* of the district in rebellion, pre cisely a- if that district were an indepen- lent nation, engaged in a public war; but |r. that has not been tho case. It novor is the case in great communities, for they always have Constitutions and forms of governments. It may not be a Constitu tion or form of government adapted to its relation to the Ci .ivernment of the United * States, and that would bo an evil to be remedied by the Government of tho Uni- j tea State*. That is what wo have been | trying to do for ih-’ last four yrara. Tho j practical relations of tho Governments of j those States with tho Government of tho United States wero all wrong and were hostile to that Government. They denied 1 our jurisdiction; they denied that they J wero States of the Union; but their denial | did not chango tlm fact, and there never , was any time when their organization* as States wore destroyed. A dead State is a solecism, a contradiction of terms, an im possibility. These are, 1 confers, rather metaphysical distinctions, but 1 did not raise them. Those who assert that a State is destroyed whenever its constitution is changed or whenever it* practical rela tions with this government are changed, must bo hold responsible for whatever metaphysical niceties may bo necessarily involved in tho discussion. I do not know, sir, that I have made my views on this point clear to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley), who has questioned me upon it, and am still more doubtful whether, even if they are intelli gible, he will concur wiih 1110 as to their justice. Hut 1 regard those States just as truly within the jurisdiction of thoUonsli tution, and, therefore, just a* really and truly Statesol the American Union now, as they wero before tho war. Their prac tical relations to the government of the United State* have been disturbed, and wo have been endeavoring through four yeais of war to restore them, and make them what they wore before the war. The military in the field has given us tho means of doing this. NVe can now re-establish tho practical relation of those State* to the government, and tho actual jurisdiction over them, which they vainly attempted to throw off, is already restorod. The conquest wo have achieved, is a conquest over tho rebellion, not a conquest ov *r the States whoBcnulhnrity.t ho rebellion had for the time subverted. For these reason a I think tho view submitted bv tho gentlo- man from Pennsylvania (Mr. fdtoveuh) upon this point are unsound. Let mo next cite some of tho conso- quences which it seems to mo must follow the acceptance of his position. If, as ho . . assorts, wo have been waging war with an ho Miid not one word which could assert | independent power, with a separate na- or imply that it was an independent 11a- tioii, I cannot see how wo can talk of ti"ii, that it had a separate existence, or treason in connection with our recent had gone out of the “sovereign” jurisdie- | conflict, or demand the execution of l)u- tion of the Unit* d Slates. On the contrary, ! vis or anybody else as u traitor. Certain- everything ho said, the very passages J ]y t if we were at war with 11113* other for- quoted l*3 T the gentleman from Ponnsyl- J cign power, wo should never talk of the vnwia himself, imply and assert precise^* ■ treason of tho«o who woro opposed to us the opposite. He speaks of them not as I j| 4 the field. If wo wero engaged in a war sever ign, hut as claiming to he sovereign; 1 with Franco and should take as a prisoner not as bring separate, hut as trying to^bo tho Krnperor Napoleon, certainly we sopuruto from the United States. Tho could not talk of him u* a traitor or feet right to require certain conditions in tho nature of guarantees for tho future, and that right rests primarily and techni cally on the surrender wo tuny and must require at their hands. The rebellion has been defeated, arid a defeat always implies a surrender, and in a political senso a surrender implies more than a transfer of tho arms used on the liold of battle—it implies, in tho ease of civil war, a surren der of tho principles and doctrines, of all the weapons and agencies by which tho war ha* been carried on. Tho military surrender was made on tho field of battle to our gonerals a# the agents and repre sentatives of tho Commander in Chief of tho armies of the United States. Hut this is not all they have still to surrender. Well, if it seems important to tho gen tleman from Rhode Island, or to anybody olso, I am quite willing to make the addi tion to iny remark which ho suggests. I will say, thon, that in surrendering on tho field of battle, thoy surrendered to the general* who wore in command of the armies os agents of tho President of tho United States, himself the agent and rep resentative of tho American poople. If that explanation is satisfactory to the gen tleman, 1 am vory happy to make it; and perhaps 1 am obliged to him for haring onabled mo to stale it a little more spoqifi- cally and accurately than 1 did at firsL Now there must be at the end of tho war a similar surrender on tho political field of controversy. That surrender is one as an act of justice from tho defeated party to the victorious party. It is one also—and wo have a right to exam it—a* a guaranty lor the future. \Y by do we demand the surrender of their urms by tho vanquished in every battle? We do it that thoy may not renew tho contest. Why do we soek in their fall a surrender of tho principle* on which they fought? It is that they may nover again ho made the basis of controversy ami rebellion against tho Gov ernment of the United Slates. Now what are the principles which should thus be surrendered? Tho principle of State sov ereignty is one of them. It was tho cor ner stone of the rebellion—at once its animating spirit and its fundainen'al basis. Deeply ingrained as it was in the Southern heart, it must bo surrendered. Mr. Jonckes of Rhode Island (Uopub.) made a f**w remarks to show tho law and facts ill the ease, and concluded b3*sa3*ing that for one ho would do his duty, but did not wish to bo compromised by the speeches which had boon delivered by the eentlcinci. from Pennsylvania and Now York, or any other State, when there wav no practical question before tho Uouso for its consideration. The oommittoo rose, when the resolu tion- referring the President's message to tho appropriate committoo wore passed. ntlemun from Pennsylvania (.Mr. Ste vens) spoke of States forfeiting their State existence by tho fact of rebel ion. Well, 1 do not see how there can be such for feiture involved or implied. 'The individ ual citizens of those Slates went with the rebel lion. They tlioreby incut red curtain penaltic- under the laws and Constitution of the United States. What the Statos did was to endeavor to interpose their State authority between the individuals in /ebollion and tho government of tho United Statos, which assumed, and which would carry out the assumption, to declare those individuals traitors lor their acts.— The individuals in the State* who woro in rnhellion o «««.»»- 1.. were the only parties who, undm the Constitution and laws ol the JJnited .Slates, could incur tho nonallios of treason, i know of no law, 1 know of nothing in tho Constitution of the United Stale*, l know of nothing in any recognized or established code of in ternational law, which can punish aState (< as a Slate, fur any act it may perform. *It is certain that our Constitution assumes nothing of ibo kind, it does not deal with Siutes, except in ono or two instances, sueli as elections of members of Congross and tne election of electors of Pro*idoht ami Vico President. Indeed, the main fealuro which distin guishes the l nion under the Constitution from tho old Confederation is this: That whereas tho old confederation did not deal with tho States directly, making requisi tions upon them for supplies, and rolyipg upon them for the execution of its law», Lbo Constitution of the United States, in aider to form a more perfect union, made its laws binding <m tho individual citizens of tho several States, whether living in one State or another. Congress, as the legislative branch of this government, enacts a law which shall he operative upon every individual citizen; and if ho resists it bv force, by is guilty of a crime, and is punished accordingly, anything in tho Uunstitu'Jon or laws of his State to the contrary notwithstanding. Hut the States themselves are not touched by tho laws of the Unit' ll States, or b.y the Constitution of the United Statos.

Mr. Raymond—Certainly. Mr. Kelley—And whether these rebel lious Constitutions or Stales have uot been ovi rthrown ? Mr. Raymond—A State doos not exist by virtue ■ f 1103* particular constitution. It always ha* a consti’ution, but it need not b»v»; a r f*ecific con?liiutioi» at any_ spe cific time. A Siato ha* c« r.nin political re I alio in- tu the government of thu United St itt*; but tl»r* fa-1 of tho*e relation* bo il g piarti. n iy operative and in actual force at any moment does not constitute its relationship to tho government or it# membership of tlm United Stales. It* pruclieui operation i»one thing. The fact ot itnexibtencc a* an orgnnir.«d communi ty—one of the great national.community of States—is quite another thing. Mr Kelley—Let me interrupt the gon- tlatiiau one moment longer. 1 will ask him whether, if the Constitution be over thrown or destroyed, and iu practical re* iation# cease, there ho any State left? Mr. Raymond—Why, air, If there be no Constitution of any sort in a State, no law. nothing but chaos, thon that State would NEW GOODS! liable to execution. I think that by adopting an>* such assumption as thut of the honorable gentleman we surrender tho wh<»le idea of treason and tho punish - merit of traitors. I think, moreover, that wo acoept virtually and practically the doctrine of .State sovereignty—the right of a State to withdraw from tho Union, and to break up the Union at its own will Mtid pleasure. 1 do not see how upon thoso premi*es we’ean escape that conclu sion. If the Slates thut engaged in the lato rebellion constituted themselves by tho ordinance of secession, or by H ny of the acts with which they followed those ordinances, a separate and independent power. 1 do not see how w.* cur. deny tho principles on which they prol^od to act, or refuse a-sent to their practical results 1 have heard no clearer, no strongei statement of tho dootrino of State sover eign 13*, a- paramount to tho sovereignty of the nation, than would bo involved in such a concession. Whether he intend* it or not, tho gentleman from Pennsylva nift (Mr. Stevens 1 actually absents to the fcxiromo doctrine of the advocates of cession. Mr. Niblnck—I beg to inquire of the gentleman whether the theory of the gentleman from Ponn-ylvania, which he is combating, would not also, if curriod to its legitimate constqu*ficc.-, make thoso who resisted the Confederacy in the insur rectionary States 'g*ii»ty of treason to the Confedoracj* or to thoso Statos ? Mr. Ka3’mond—I w*»# just going to ro mark that another of the consequences of this doctrine, as it squid* to mo, would be our inability to talk of loyal men in the South. Loyal to what ? Loyal to a for eign, independent power, as the Unitod States would become under thoso circum- stuncoiY Certainly not. Simply ditdoyal to their own government, and deserter.-, or whatever you may choose to call them, from that to which thoy would n vo alh * glance to a foreign arid independent state. Now thoro is another consiquence of the doctrine, which I shall riot dwell upon, but simply suggest that if the Con federary woro un independent power, 1 separate nation, it had the right to con tract debt#, and we, having overthrown and conquered that independent power, according to tho theory of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, would become# the inheritors, the successors of iu debts and assets, and wo must pay them. Sir, that is not simply a theory, or a claim thrown out in .dobute hero It is ono advanced on behalf of Great Hrilain as against up. Mr. Raymond was hero interrupted by Mr. Joueke# with.whom he had n long colloquy on this point. Mr. ltaym< nd then preceded. Now, sir, I have dwelt on these points longer than 1 intended to do. I do not think the doctrine I have b**' n combating is held by »r.y number of tho p ople of thi- oountry, or indeed by any considerable number of the member* ofthis House. J certainly do riot think these States are to be dealt with by u« a* provinces, • p sim ply so much territory held to us hy no other lies than those of conquest. I thiuk wo are to deal with them a* States having Siato governments mil subject to the jurisdiction of the Ui.imd States, still under 1I10 constitutional c >r trol of the national government; and Hint in our dealing* with them we nig to be guided and governed, not simply by our sover eign will an I pleasure as conquerors, but by tho restrictions und limitations of the Constitution of the United Stales, neces sarily, as we are re5lntin<ul and limited in our dealing* with all other States of tho American Union. Mr. Raymond—I have no doubt of it not the siigb . *u I do not think that Uio treason of "J. ffr-on Davis has anything to do with the inhuman treatment to our pripom ro of War. I merely aHuded to the matter. I might have elab irate 1 it when I said that because wc had granted to these States as a powor.waging war rights usu ally accorded to nations nt war, we were not, thoreiore, excluded from proceeding against them h- traitors. The decision of the Supreme Court, to whic h I have once referred, il 1 understand it aiight, A3>orU that we l»«V" I.,.** right tu proc .*d again*t thorn as tr.vilor-, or rather that we had the right to cx’Tctfi* against them both tno power of m'V't ign arid of belligerents ; that the on dtu not exclude the other. Now if, according to tho view 1 hive presente d, wo art*, to dual wilu iheae6iul«» as Slates still wuhiu tun Union, the next question that recur* is, how are wo to deal with them ? I ho gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Finckj, who preceded me, took the ground that thoy had only to resume their places and their power* in the national government; that their reprosentative- have only to enmo into this hall and take their seats, without question and without conditions of any sort. I cannot concur, sir, iu that view. I do not think that thoso States have any such rights. On th Uil HAVE JUST RECEIVED Another Large Lo t OF T11EIU UKTEQUAIjEID CLOTHING, FOR MEN AND BOYS, F.
