VANCE, OF KORTH CAROLINA, I IV THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1879. The Senate having under consideration the bill (H. B, No. 2) making appropriations for the legis lative, executive and iodlctal expenses of the Gov ernment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, and for other purposes Mr. Vance said: Mr. President: Before entering up on the remarks which I propose to make I am requested to Say, and that Request accords with my own inclination in the matter, that the school literature refer red to by the Senator from Maine Mr. Blaine! is non-existent in the Southern States. During the war there was some literature of that kind prevalent, but even then it met with little f avor, and I, am assured that since the war no child, white of black, in the Southern States has ever seen any such literature. And now, Mr. President, it seems to, be the peculiar mistortune of the section from which I come, and I believe it to be also the misfortune of the whole coun try, that no question in any way per taining to the South or originating with any representative from the South has been able to obtain a fair hearing in these halls upon its merits. Indeed it would seem as if the day for that kind of discussion had passed away forever. I had been taught to believe that the object of all discussion was to elicit truth, and not only was it useless but such discussion was mischievous if that was not the object to be attained. If this indeed be so, I might appeal with confidence to every lair-niinaed man in the United States who hears or reads our debates here and ask if the discus sion of the questions now before the Senate has been fairly or logically han dled witli the view to ascertain the truth. It is proposed First By the legislation which is now in part beiore us ana wnicn nas been, to repeal the laws under which authority is assumed to interfere with the elections of the couutry by the use of the military. Second. To repeal the laws W which the United States marshals and super visors were authorized to control the elections of the country. Third. To repeal the law requiring jurors in the federal courts to take the test oath. Now. these are the questions, plain and simple, which have engaged the at tention ot the American congress ana the people for the last three months. Common sense and a decent regard for the public interest require that they should receive at our hands the calmest and most dispassionate consideration which it is in our power to bestow upon them; that they should be abstracted and dissociated from every local passion or prejudice and viewed solely with re gard to their effect upon the public wel fare. Mas this Deen aone t me recora of our proceedings is evidence that it has not The staple of the arguments in opposition has been as wide of this object as it is possible for human imag ination to conceive. One Senator, as his argument, cries out rebellion; an other cries out secession : another ex claims, with alarm, that rebel soldiers are here in these halls; another claims that the North pays the larger part ot the direct taxes, and nearly all of the taxes' collected on imports; another sees a goblin in the shape of a Democratic caucus; another holds up his hands in holy horror in contemplating the fact that there is absolutely a Democratic majority in both branches of Congress ; and yet another sees ruin in a solid South ; and last, but not least one Sen ator exclaims in the famine of argu ment, "Jefferson Davis;" and that is the contribution that he furnishes to the literature of the country. These various and logical appeals have not even the merit that the old ne- ro groom attributed to John Minor ott's race-horses; for when taunted with the fact that Ids horses could not beat anything, he congratulated him self that at all events they could beat each other I These apologies tor argu ments cannot even beat each other in absurdity. An honest judge will be compelled to decide that the race" is a drawn one and all bets are off. If our proceedings, Mr. President, were in the nature or a compiaiut auu answer there is not a court in the land but would be compelled to order that the. answers nut m here by the Kepuoii- can defendants to these bills be stricken out as frivolous, and that a judgment be rendered in tavor of the piaintms. 1 win not recapitulate the arguments in fa- vr nf these bills. Thev are Detore tne country, and will be properly judged in due season. I desire only to Make a ffiw observations in reply to these sec tional appeals. . Mr. hTftSiaeilL. WUU Ulue uic ouuui solid? The answer is as plain ana un mistakable as it is possible to maKe anything to the human .intellect; the Ronnh ifan nartv is resDuusiuie iui tuu thing. At the beginning of the late arar aimnsr. t.lifi entire Wirier party of the South, with a large and influential portion of the Democratic, were m ta vor of the Union, and deprecated with f hoir whole souls the attempt at its de struction, but through love of their na- states and svmnathv with their W.

What be- came 01 mem aiwsi tuts wan wisdom in opposing it was justified by the ruinous results; their patriotism and courage were highly appreciated, and when peace came this class were in hiirh tavnr at. the South, while the 'se cessionists as the original advocates of a disastrous policy were aownin pupuu estimation.

Finally, seeing that we still remained Democratic, tne union was dissolved by act of Congress and we were formal ly legislated outside in order that you -r l . : Z n Li T : mignt vnug us miiu liib uiiiuu aguii m t u h a way as to guarantee ns a ; repub lican form of government, that is, that we should vote the Republican ticket ; and you cited article 4, section 4, of the constitution; as your authority to do this. , . You deposed our State govern ments and ejected from office every of ficial from Governor to township con stable, and 'remitted "us to a state of chaos in whichrthe only light of human authority for the regulation of human affairs and the control of, human pas sions was that which gleamed from the Doiished noint of the soldier's bavonet. Under this simple and easily:: comprer bended system of jurisprudence so con sonant, to the great assertion of the great declaration, that " governments derive their-just powers from the eon sent of the governed," you began and completed. the task of guaranteeing to us a " Republican " form of government. You disfranchised at least ten per cent of our citizens, embracing the wisest best and most experienced. You en franchised our slaves, the lowest and most ignorant; and you placed over them as leaders a class of men who have attained to the highest positions of infamy known to modern ages. In order to preserve the semblance of consent, conventions were called, to form new constitutions, the delegates to which were chosen by this new and unheard-of constituency. The military counted the votes, often at the head quarters, in distant. States, the general in command determining the election and qualifications ; of the delegates. Many of these delegates were negroes, on whom the right to vote and hold of fice had not yet been bestowed. They framed constitutions in which they gave themselves this right, and it was sub mitted for ratification to the same con stituency who chose the delegates, and none other that is to say, they pro pounded the question whether they should vote and hold office to them selves, and decided this question by their own votes, while white men were not permitted to vote. Perhaps the an nals of the race from which we spring, with all its various branches spread throughout the wrorld, cannot furnish such a parody upon the principles of tree government basea upon the con sent of the governed. These constitutions were declared adopted by the general in command. Perhaps they were adopted. And at the same election, so called, were also chosen State officers for a long term of years, and chosen by the same constit uency. The new governments went to work, and in the short space of four years they plundered those eleven Sou thern States to the extent of $262,000, 000 ; that is to say, they took all that we had that was amenable to larceny, and they would have taken more doubtless, but for the same reason that the weath er could not get any colder in Minneso ta, as described by a returned emigrant from that State, " because the thermom eter was too short. LLaugriter.J And now recalling these facts and a hundred more which I cannot now name, can any candid man wonder that we be came solid ?- Can he wonder that old Whigs and Democrats, Union men and secessionists, should unite in a desper ate effort to throw off the dominion of a party which had inflicted these things upon them V And your military inter ference, your abuse, and your denuncia tion continue unto this day. Can you wonder that your following in that country has dwindled into insig nificance? The negro alone is your friend there, and a very few whites, and his eyes, blinded as they haye been; are steadily opening to the great truth which you ought to have taught him, that his prosperity and welfare are in separably connected with that of his white neighbors. One by one the Nor thern adventurers who led them have packed their carpet-bags and silently stolen back to the slums of Northern society, whence "they" originated, and the lonely native Republican makes his solitary 1 lair in some custom house or postoffice or revenue headquarters. The broad, free, bright t world outside of these retreats m all the Soma is Demo cratic, thanks to you, the Republican party of the North. It would be well enough, for Republican leaders tore member that the inflexible law of com pensation exists in politics as well as in ail things else, xi we violate tue jaws of health, we suffer bodily pains or early dissolution ; if we violate the laws of societV.we suffer in. public, esteem ; if we i violate tbe lawsr e-f man, we are subject ' to; it$ pains and penalties : i f we violate the laws otiioa, we win sui ter the penalties of sin;if we violate the laws of nature, we can reap none of the' benefits , Which our. knowledge of them now enables us to derive-therefrom. So it is in politics. You outrag ed All of our sensibilities in your treat ment of us, and we , naturally became your. political enemies. There is no im punity 101 transgression, r You now affect to treat the presence of representative Southern men in these halls as both an intrusion and a calami-ty.-and-the tone of your speeches will iiidiican: intelligent stranger sitting in these galleries for the last three months to believe that yon were sorryyou spent so much blood and treasure to iorce tne South back into. the.
