The gentleman from Massachusetts I Mr. Btti.ebI has given as a glowing account of bow he sent in a column of tluree thoasand negroes to take a redoubt at .Newmarket Heights, pro tected, he says, by two lines ot strong abattit. and manned by one thousand of Lee's veterans.

They hsd a right to do so. But sureJy if it is consistent with nstional sentiment for some States to boast of their renown, it can not be wrong for other States to defend them selves against unjust reproaches. It was not slavery, sir, which kept the South back ; it was the presence there of fcmr millions of men who came to us at first utterly nn trained savages ; anil these we had to govern, tram, sad improve, as bent we might. Herein it was our mission to expend our moral and material forces, snd it entailed upon us great burdens ; for these men were awkward and unskillful laborers, whereby our efforts were of necessity confined to the coarser and more primitive kinds of bo man industry ; and thus we suffered infinite material loss. The North, with her skilled and educated laborers and artisans, was at liberty to devote herself to tbe more complex and refined industrial pursuits, with consequently higher proms ana more rapid growth In affluence.

The gentleman from Massachusetts Mr Butler seemed himself to abandon the idea of the absolute equality of meu ; for be formulated his doctrine in these words : That every man has the right to become the equal of another, if he can." In some sense that may be conceded as true. But thai, is not what this bill proposes. It does not nrtmo?e to eaVe the negro to oe tne by the gentleman from Massachusetts, of course 1 cannot speak of the facts from personal ob servation. But from many comrades who were thereabout at the time I have always under stood that when Ord's column of white troops surprised and took Fort Harrison, which was the centre and key of our Confederate position, whatever posts to the left of it were given up at all were abandoned at once under orders and without serious resistance, their isolated situa tion rendering them untenable. A handful of skirmishers, moved by the instinct of old figh ters, may have given a parting shot or two as they "were ordered away. Four or five were usually wounded in battle to one filled outright. If five hundred and forty-three were killed in thai negro column, two" thousand or twenty-five hundred others must have been wounded ; so that is really wonderful, that the small squad lift should have been able to terrify so thoroughly will their uncapped muskets that thousand powder burnt Confederates 1 There does not appea any good reasons for their running in such wild dismay ; and no one knows better than the gen tleman from Massachusetts that tne men tie used to meet in battle were not given to running away without a good reason. ot civilizing and elevating a been mainly hers ? I do not claim, nobody pre tends, that the great and beneficent result which, under Providence, we have thus wrought out were directly and consciously aimed at by us with deliberate purpose. In our dealings with the Africans we were, of course, mainly prompt ed by those ordinary notivea of self-interest which move human nature every where ; jurt as were the Yankee slavers who deported the negro from his native land and sold him to us He owes none of us, rvorth or south, manv thanks. But I do maintain that his remove from Africa, aud temporary subjection in this countrv. have been the divinely appointed means of his civilization and Christianizatiou These things seem so obvions to me that I con tent mvself with simply stating them and leav ing them for the reflection of all candid minds. Neither ought the negro, or his aoi-disnn friends, to indulge perpetual bitterness, as if in all those events any wrong or any strange thing has happened to him. We mav specnlate upon the absolute right of every human being, under all circumstances, to liberty and self-control These are fine abstractions.

I do not raeau any disrespect to him I resuect all men as men and as the children of a common Father, and I trust I have a heart to wish well to all and to d good to all. But, sir, the negro is not a black white man. He is a different man with different taleuts. different duties, and different rights. Iu saving this I do not deuy unity of origin and a common ancestry to the hu man familv. I believe iu these things, be cause such seems the plain teaching of that Book which southern men generally rely upon as the embodiment of perfect truth. Do you ask me, then, whence sprang the huge dissimilarities which mark the several branches of this common family, aud which scientists fof centuries, and it would be pre sumptuous in me to attempt its solution.

My remarks will be confined altogether to the detection and exposure of tbe false political, social, and ethnological principles upon which this proposed legislation is based, and the injurious results necessarily consequent upon its .adoption. If my treatment of the subject should seem somewhat specu'ative and discursive, I trust it may be pardoned, and attributed to my desire to avoid follow- m. - . t 1 a.f ing in a beaten tracn anu repeauug wuai has already been said.

Ann inougn 1 ww vueir uomi; there, yet in honor of their matchless gallantry I pray that the turf on their graves may be as green forever as their own Emerald Isle. Look at one more fact Nearly three years before the war ended the four millions negroes of tlie South knew that its result involved the question of their liberty. Yet while continent shook with the earthquake of war, and nobody was at home but old men and boys to keep them in order, those negroes seized no weapon and struck no blow. I do not mention it as a re proach to theni. It merits rather the thanks of southern men. I mention it only to show mat the negro is not like the white man. What race of white men would have remained qniet under the same circumstances ? W hen the proc lamation of emancipation was issued the peculiar patronsof the negro in the North expected him to rise and throw off the yoke and butcher our wives and children ; and in the abundance of their nbilanthronv and humanity they hoped so, ' a "a a 1 1 .

Against his own will, the Knglish Jid Yankee slavers Btole him from Africa and sold him into southern servitude and as soon as bad done so and cot the money, began to roll up the whites of their eyes over the sin of laverv and to plot for his freedom. Against his will, the southern master trained him to l.ir lalor andcivilited habits, and gradually fitted him for liberty Then in a grnnd conflict ,,f arms nmnnor white men. in which he took no important part, he was freed. Afterward white men, voluntarily, without any effort of his, enfranchised him, made him a voter, anu empowered him to hold office. As a freeman and voter he has put bad men in power, mat e suffrage a farce, destroyed public credit, ruined States, and disgraced republican institutions j and the return he makes is to clamor for more power and more privileges that he may further blight and wildew and waste our general wel; fare and prosperity.

It is a sentiment which may serve very well, aud often has served well, as the war-cry of revolutionists, but calm philosophy, ay, plain common sense, smiles at iU absurdity. " AU men borfi equal."

Not equality, but infinite iueoualitv aud variety, is the h w of this uuiverse, It has been said that "Shakespeare never repeats."

But this is a digression, and tbla ia not the time or place to follow up the idea. If we were in a lyceiiin diseus- I sing ethnology, I would enlarge upon and fortify it. I merely throw out the hiut, to be pondered by those who realize the mystery and (as Carlyle says) "the deep tragedy of human life." But, sir.no matter how the races originated, they do exist and are not alike. The negro is different from the white man. In some things he excels the white man. He has much music in his soul. He can outsing, outdance, outlaugh, and ontfrolic the white man. lift u more docile, more self-satisfied, more imitative, more affectionate, more passionate, and perhaps more naturally eloquent than the white man. He ia the world's "merrv-andrew." He is the world's star actor on the comic stage. Such are the endownments of the negro ; and some of them are noble qualities, aud by no means show that the negro may not fill a useful and impor tant place ir. the world's future civilisation. But when you come to the grand tragic and heroic parts in the drama of humanity, where will, force, courage, forethought, the sense of raasterdom, and the instinct of dominion are required to shine, the negro fails. Despite all that wa have heard on the subject, the negro is no fighter. To prove that he is, we are pointed dom while tliev enslave his soul. Ever, here on this floor (and I mean no disrespect 10 an. -low-member bv this remark) he does no"'"1?' he-aayt nothing, except as he is prompted by his managers; even here he obeys the bidding of his new white masters, who move him like a puppet on the chessboard. The old system of slavery, as once exist ing in all the States, is forever dead ana oancu, and I have no tears to shed over its grave. 1 always believe it would come to an end belore a great while, because I saw it wa changing ; and whatever thing changes must die. is in the universe but One eternal, because there ia bnt One immutable. Sir, Mvary has fulfilled its mission, which was to civiltxe and christianize an originally savage race. It was God Almighty's school to which he sent the negro to bS trained and develop. Practically, as human nature is, it seems the only system by which he could h ed, and cared for ,.i wi 1 i r-i f t, in from he dwelt.

But weoon aroid going further on the down-hill road. Sir itia time to recur to the doctrine in which is bonnd up the salvation of this country the doctrine that this the ia while man's land arid ought to be a while man's government. I wlrtsh I hsd time to review the record of the great leaders of the radical party in the first few year ptter the war. and show howindignantly they then spumed the idea of making the negro a a a I ! ihlj wMinf ff individual and no partv is responsible for what l nave said except mvself onlv. But 1 have carried out my purpose not to go over ground already trodden in this debate ; and I have offer ed these suggestions, also, with design, that 1 might aid, if possible, in atemaiing the tide nf tatiaticism and mongrelism, which, if it should continue to advance, would ultimately awecp over our whole land and destroy every veatige of its former beauty and glory. Yon have heard how this bill; if passed, will destroy our southern free schools. Not onlv i that true; it ia true, also, that it will destroy the white republican party in the South. If I de sired only party advantage, and not the welfare of the people of my country, I would wiah you to pass this bill ; for no respectable white man in mv countrv is in favor of it : all are bitterly against it, and all will desert you if you pass iu But the evils which this bill would entail on us are too great a price to pay for any mere party success; and 1 therefore hope if it cornea to a vole it may be voted down. If you destroy our reviving free schools what is to become of us ? And esieeia!lv what ia to become of the orphans of our aaldirs? The ne groes will fare better than the v. Private school supported by northern donations, by Friends' societies, by liberal contributions from negro sympathizer.- everywhere, dot our hills, and are felled with negro children. I do not complain of this: 1 reioice at it ; for I want all educated, by whatever means. 1 am an enthusiastic friend of universal education. It iaof vital importance to the South that her newlv enfranchised race altr.il 1.1 1,.- wi 1! instructed. But our boor while soldiera' orphans are forgotten.
