The gentlnman (Bbetlabarger) had taken the ground that habitual obedi ence to law wao essential to the continued existonoeef a State in the view of public lawi'hnd* bad quoted Wheaton to support it, assuming, however, that that habitual obedience must be uninterrupted. This last assumption was at variance with what ws» laid down by Wheaton, who said that whatever may be the internal consti tution or form of n government, oven though the State be distracted with anar chy, it (till subsists a Stats U the contem plation of law until its sovereignly is completely extinguished by the final dis solution of the social tie. The mere in- lerrliption of obedience did not extinguish a Stato. THhre were examples of this nil over the world, whtre habitual obedience to law- was suspended, sometimes by archy, sometimes by usaypation, some times by civil war. It Was so In tb* great French revolution. Some English publi cists, Burke among them, had contended that the social tie was dissolved and that France had ceased to be a State; but it was never so regarded by England or the Europoun coalition. The Mexican Km. pirn to day was another illustration.— There there was usurpation. There ha bitual obedience to law had-been suspend ed, and he who was regarded at tha right ful owner was a fugitive among the moun tains; but when Juarez should coma back and take posses-ion of the Government of Mexico, would it be contended that the State had ceased to exist? The point in regard to the continued existence of the S ates of the Union was tha same. Sup pose that in a war with England she would take possession of the State of Massachu setts and plant her armies all around its borders; and suppose that occupation were prolonged for one, two or three years; would Massachusetts ceaso to be a State oftheUnion? Would sho not, whsnev- er the usurping power was expelled, stand in her old place as one of the States? Mr, Shollabarger explained that bis po sition was that when States ceased lor the MK. RAYMOND’S SPEECH l„ the House of liepreeeniaiivee, Jan. ■£th, on the. proposed Constitutional "Amendment in reference to Representa tion and Taxation. Mr. Baymond said tbe original resolu tion before tbe House came from th# joint comaittee appointed to inquire into the political condition of the Slates lately in rebellion, in order to determine whether thne States were er were not entitled to representation In Congress.

Genera) Government. ** — . Mr. ltaymond—The Southern States did not cease to be States in tbe scope of in ternational law. There never bad been a timo that they had not government and law, and obedience to law. It did not re quire obedience to any particular form of is committee had reported, without ex planation or reasons, a naked proposition toimend the Constitution. He was afraid that he should fail under tha censure ex pressed the other day by the gentleman (romOhio (Mr. Bingham) upon those who vers unwilling to tamper with tho Consti tution of the United States. Heacltnowl- sd(ed freely that he distrusted all proposi tions for its amendment. The history of the country had proved that the Constitution vs. the most wonderful instrument oyer framed by the wisdom of man for the rorernment of a great nation. It was ully adequate to all emergencies of peace >r tur. A triumphant carry ing out of th* •srsfforded the highest possible testimony of iu adequacy to all coatingeaeia*. In the diilribulion of powers betwee%the (lateral Government end the several Stales, that document proved that whs asds, not for a day, but for all time. Still bereoognized the justice end propriety of unending it to meet changed circumstan ces and an altered condition of facts. The question of slavery, for instance, bed un dergone euob a total change a* to naake in ameedment of the Constitution seise end proper. The evil proposed to be remedied by the pending amendment was also oie that probably (plight well demand ■ttenlion. Tho number of slaves on wbicb the Southern States had been entitled to a throe-fifths representation was one million ■ii bundrod thousand. That was an ine quality which demanded a remedy, if one could be found not worse than the evil It. ielt He thought there were very serious objseiioas to the proposed amend me pi. One wse, that K changed the' basis of rep- mentation from population to something elie. It was a fundamental principle of free governments that tha inhabitants, all who are subjects of law, should be repre- leuted in tbe enactment and execution of the law. Another objectionable feature set that noticed by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Broomall) in regard to lbs meaning of the word "race" and “color." Another was that it disfran chised a whole race, if a portion of that rico was disfranchised by a State. Tbet was not a wise proposition. It held out no encouragement for ehfrsnchieiog hny 'ort.on of the colured race. He could not telp feeling that its enactment would be dwaskous to tbe reigtione between the union and the Southern States and le the w chare of those States. Tbe gentleman Iron# Ohio (Mr. Bingham), e member of the committee, had said the other day that thu wai the first of a series of amendments end propositions which that committee would submit for the action of the House; test be regarded them all aa essential to tbs safety of the country, and that be trembled when he thought that tb* whole °f propositions might not be adopted. Mr. Bingham : The remark, I made wss lost I would tremble for my oouatry-il I •uxht tbet this proposition was gll.lhbt tbs Bouse would pass and send out to >be country. ** r - Raymond accepted the correction, ibis, then, was the first of a series.of.>ro- posiuons to amend the Constitution.

Hu ““t the Gomeori UovoniMoat -m law to make a Slate a Slate, It might be a republic to-day, a monarchy to-morrow, and a despotism tho next day; but still it continued to he a Slate. Was there . time when England or France would not have recognized one of the rebel States as a Stole in tbe sense of public lew ? Not at all. They never ceased to be Stales.— They were States-in the sense of public international lawand in the contemplation of the United States, because the habitual obedience due from them to the Govern ment of the Udited States was only sus pended, not abrogated or destroyed. If they bad succeeded in refusing that obe dience permanently and forever, then they woold have ceased to be States in the Union, not otherwise. During the war of 1B12 the -British took possession of tbe Territory ef Maine, including the town end purl of Castlno, and held it a year an completely and absolutely that the people were held by the courts to have been eb- solved from obodienoe to the Govern ment. But had Congress been called on to act whea the usurpation was with drawn? No. The State renewed its functions and went on just as the usur pation had never existed. That was pre cisely tbe position of the rebel States. In the winter ot 1800 and spring of 1861, a conspiracy against the Government of the United Stoles existed in this city—in this House, aided by agents and co-conspira tors in other sections of the country. It wss the duty of the Government to take precautions against the projeotod usurpa tion. The distinguished cbteflain then at the heed of the army bad recommended tR*ie(ationing of troops in the Southern States to prevent the success of such an attempt at usurpation. The GevernmeDt failed to perform its duly. Tbe President of the United States bed e theory which prevented him. and even the Congress of that day would have refused to anve him the power to do it effectually. Through tho dofaull of the Government, therefore, the usurpation acquired force. Who did not believe that if there bad been arts* tonable force stationed in North Carolina that State would never htve fallen into the hands of traitors and usurpers? Tbe same was true of almost all the other States, If the Government bad perform ed its solemn obligations to guarantee to each Stale a republican form of govern ment, the rebellion would have been pre vented. If a usurpation docs not neces sarily, of itself, take a State out of tbe Union until it proves a success, when does that take place? Unleu it bolds power permanently it is not a success and does not achieve the object of taking the Stato out of tho Union. The people of the South had no choice in the matter. If they r. l ist'd obedience to the usurping power, they wore punished for their re fusal. If they hesitated, their goods were confiscated. If tbe usurpers bad been expelled in six months, in one year, or in two ycers, would anybody have contended that the States woro out of the Union ?— And would any one now point out tbe precise line in point of time when a Btate gets out of the Union by the usurpation of IU powers? All through tbe war delegates and rep resentatives from States that were in rebel hands, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, were admitted to this House. The gentle man from Pennsylvania (Broomall) had been facetious in alluding to tbe feet that he (Raymond) curiously coincided in this matter with the gentleman from New Jersey (Rogers). He (Raymond) had learned long ago that it was much better to be right with a political opponent than wrong with a political adherent, and be had no hesitation in saving that he would far rather be riglit with tbe gentleman from Now Jersey, than be wrong even in such distinguished company as that of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. He * f® 10 ®. which two could play at, and, unleu they made successful war, the fact of making war had no relevancy at all, and could make no change in their con stitutional ralations. Was it the duration of the war that accomplished that result? —, so, what was the length of time essen tial to its aeqomplishmeirt? Was it the mode of making war? The fact alluded to by the gentleman from Pennsylvania 1 -Mr. Broomall) of uheir converting the "ones of our martyred heroes jnto orna ments? Of course no one pretended that. Then it was neither the fact of making war, nor the duration of the war, nor the method of carrying it out, which effected the severance of the rebel States. What wae there left but the result of the war whiek could accomplish it? If the war bad been successful, then only would the E urpose of separating from the Union ave been accomplished. Mr. Raymond combatted the idea that the decision of the Supremo Court in the prize casos showed that the rebel Stales were out of the Union, and quoted from Judge Grier’s- decision, and from Mr. Richard H, Dana’s pamphlet on it, to sustain his position. It bad been claimed that the rebel States had forfeited their rights, and had, therefore, oeased to have any righto. That wat a novel doctrine to him. He did r.ol know how States could forfeit their rights. They certainly could not do it outside of the Constitution ; and there wae no provision in the Constitution under which they could do it. They had not done it by tbe law of nations. We had not waged a war of conquost upon them. We nad acquired by our victories over them nothing but what we had be fore we had put down tha rebellion, crushed the usurpatiob, cleared the rebel States of all tho authority that opposed tbe execution of the laws of the United States, end, when that was done, wo were dona, and the States remained as before. We certainly had not conquered them in any aense of subjugation. There was no provision found in the Constitution for the forfeiture 6f State rights. There wero provisions for punishing individuals, but none for punishing States. The acts ot tbe Government in all its departments, executive, legislative and judicial, con firmed that view and procoedod on that supposition that they wore States of tho Uoion when tho rebellion broke out, that they continued to bo States of the Union during the war,- and thus they are now States of tho Union. In this connection, Mr. Raymond roferrod to the pruclania tion of Mr. Lincoln, to bis declarations, private and public, to his first inaugural, to his diplomatic correspondence through the Secretary of State, to Mr. Lincoln’s message to Congress to his letters to Horaco Greeley and Fernando Wood, and to tho reply made to the French proposals of mediation of February 6, 1863, stating that tho Congress of tho United States furnished a constitutional form of dobalo for the alienated parties, that Senators and Representatives from the loyal por tion of the people were there already, fully empowered to confer, and that seats were also vacant, inviting Sonators and Representatives from tbe discontented parts whb might be constitutionally sent there from the Qtales involved in the in surrection. Mr. Raymond also referred to tho laws of Congress passed on the same idea to the tariff and revenue laws; to the act for tbe apportionment of Rep resentatives; to a resolution defining the object of the war to be to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitu tion, sqd to preserve the Uuion with all the dignity, equality and rights of the States' unimpaired. This resolution passed in the summer of 1861, had been voted for by mil tne Union members of tho Houta, including the Speaker, Mr. Kel ley and Mr. Shelibarger. The gentleman (from Pennsylvania, Mr. Stevens,) had not always hold tho theory that the rebel States were out of the Union, for on the 4th December, 186'J, be introduced a reso lution declaring that if any person in tho employment of the Unitod State-, in either tbs Executive or the legislative branch, should propose to make peaco, or accept, or advise the acceptance of any such proposition on any other basis than tbe integrity and entire amity of tho Uni ted States and their territory as thoy ex isted at the time of the rebellion, they would be guilty of a high crimo. He (Mr. Raymond) did not propose to be guilty of that high crime. Ha had heard it aaid that the rebel States were estopped by their own actB from claiming toeir rights. But ho sub mitted that the doctrine of estoppage m ust be mutual: end that, as Congress bad declared tbe object of the war to be to preserve the rights of tho States unim paired, Congress was estopped from put ting in any other ploa to-day. Ho also referred to a speech delivered by Chief Justloe Chase nearly a year ago in Dart mouth College, in which he laid down the proposition that the rebel States remained States of the Union, and that tho second B rocket of reorganization was that the lovernment should now Tovort to tho hands of tho Southern people. He re fsrred to the conduct of President Lincoli and President Johnson since the close of the war in issuing amnesty proclamations and taking other means to reinvest the people of tho Southern States with their political rights. He did not know that there was any special call for tho interpo lition of Congress on this subject. Tlx duty had been well performed by the Executive. The States were in the full exercise of their functions of -clf-govern- ment. The Federal laws were on their statute books and were duly executed. Taxes were collected. Their ports were open, and vessels entering them paid du ties as ia all th* other ports of tho country. Those States wero to-day States of the Union, and could only be got out of the Union by oxpulsion, by a positive act of deprivation. All that remained to bo done wab tbe admission of their Kepre the necessity for a despotism, we must acknowledge tho fact that thoy are and will remain forever essential parts of the country. I have heard it said that we are to hold them as provincial dependencies. Has the gentleman ftoin Ohio (Mr. Sbel- labarger) seriously thought of what his words imply ? Ten millions of people held by a republican government in de pendence forever I There has been no auob outrage perpetrated or contemplated (or a thousand years in tho history of nations. If we deal with them io that form, wo shall simply justify the course they have token, and a repetition of that oourse in future. I submit whether hold ing these States as provincial dependencies is the proper way to promote sinccro loy alty among them 7 Something is due to human nature on that point, as well as on others. Did Austria promote sincore loy alty by holding Italy or Hungary in sub- jeollon? No, sir. The disloyalty grew stronger and stronger till Austria was at last foroed to yield to it. So it has been all th* world over. Tbe dial of civiliza tion must have gone back two thousand years if wo are to accept any such Ihoory as that. Can we not exercise as much clemency as Julius Cmsar exercised in the civil wars of R-^pe? His first act after he conquered Rompey (gs to admit all his followers to an amnesty. The first thing he did after conquering a Latin enemy admit their pooplo to full citixon- was to admit their poopli ship. POINTS SUBMITTED NT BATMOND. First: That we ought to accept the status of tho Southern Slates as having resumed, under the president's guidance, thoir functions of self-government in the Union. Socond: That tho House should decide on tho admission of representatives by districts, admitting none but loyal men, who can take the oath prescribed, holding all others as disqualified. Tbe Senate act ing in the same way in regard to the Representatives of Slates. Third: That we should provide by law for giving to the freedmon of the South all the rights of citizens in courts of law and elsowhore. Fourth: Exclude from Fedoral offices tho ieuding actors in tho rebellion. Fifth: Adopt such amendments to the Constitution as may seem wise to Congress and to the States, acting freely and wjthoul coercion. Sixth: Take such measures of precau tion as will prevent the overthrow in any Stato of a republican form of govern ment. In conclusion, he said, I have only to thank the House for the very great indul gence with which it has listened to my roniarks. I have spoken from a sincere desiro to promote tho peace and harmony oftheUnion and tho permanent welfare of the country which wo have struggled so hard and so successfully to save. If I have said things just and wise, I Leg you not to lot them be disparaged by anything unkind or unwise that 1 may havs uttered. I bog you to bear in mind this fact—that we of the North and of the South are at war no longer. Tho gigantic contest is at an end. The dead of tbe contending hosts sleep at last beneath the soil of one com mon country, under their common flag. Their hostilities are hushed, and they are the dead of tho nation forevnrmore. Tho victor may well exult in the victory he has achieved. Let it be our task, as it will bo our highest- g'ory, to make the van quished and their posterity to tho latest generation rejoice in the end. Mr. Raymond Bpoke for a little over two hours, and was listened to with marked attention. sentativeaiuto both. Houses of Congress All that ( hud to decide was’ or what principle they wouid admit them, Mr, Htavent here inquired whether this House could muko a .uw changing the qualification* of members as fixed by the ContiHvftiqn ? Mr. Raymond did not think that both Houses could do that; but ho held that either House might add disqualifications. He argued, io favor of admitting loyal representatives from loyal districts, even though the real of a Btate whs loft unrep resented. Tbe House needed intelligent representatives from the Southern States f>r its own information and guidance.

The gentleman from Penn sylvania would find that this wa» no new position for him, for he had expressed himself to the samo effect in a snoech at Wilmington, Del., In the fall of 186*. If thk States had gona out of the Union, they inurt have gone out at a particular time, and in consequence of some specific act and he asked tor the definition of the tune and act. Jt Wto easy to tell when each Stale became a member or tbe Union, and It should be-no less easy to tall whan it t-eased to bo one, if it aver did. Whan did South Carolina eansa to be a .inamber?

That fact was nothing In itself; thas wae does not deign to givn tbe House informa tion on which to base its action, but sends its rescript to the House and demands ratification of it before tho going down 1 tbe sun. Was that a constitutional mode of aulini on this great subject? Was it m -da tlx,l could oatify the patriotic con viclions of any member? He rejoicod ti say t! at the good sense of the House had revolt. I at (bo monstrous outrage of de ciding so groat a question as this on so small a basis, it demanded debate. It had bed tliat debate; and he was very much disappointed that in this debate members had not taken a more serious view of the matter. He bad beard a good deal about the necessity of exacting guar aateee from tba South; for instance, as U the noB-aasumplion of the Robot dobt and tba non-repudiation of the Federal debt. There was nothing prao.ical in this. There was no danger that a dollar of the Rebel debt would ever be paid; and ax to the Federal debt, the security for its payment was not by any such guarantee, but in the age of laWa imposing taxes.
