Here we have the astound in fact that this State, one of the fore most of those. State J "which joined in establishing the fourteenth - amendment ms a part of the organic law of this land, his deliberately violated that amendment and has been, and is now, enjoying the fruits of ,this crime by holding represent ation here which belongs, to tho people of-the other States ot the union. And now;, sir it is plain that if this can be done your fourteenth amendment is a dead letter and the Constitation of the country a delunct instrument; Much hasbeu said about the disfranchisement of black men in "the South - by violence and bloodshed, but it seems that- Massa chusetts does by her law-makers what she denounced the feouth for permitting to be done by her criminals. The gentleman from Massachusetts, the sitting member in this Congress, has devoted much time to a defense of the laws, policies, and history of Massachu setts, and has made a signally unsuccess ful attempt to wipe out blurs and blots that rest upon her name and fame. His glorification of bis people as warriors, his claim to preeminent distinction for Mas- sachusetts men as soldiers in ine iaie rebellion, is calculated to bring smiles to' the faces of the real soldiers of great, war States ut this Union. North and South; Why, sir, if the real statistics could be obtained there is every rccson to be lieve that States like North Caro lina and Tennessee, which, next to Vir ginia, formed the backbone of the Con lederacy, furnished more of their bona fide citizens to tho Federal Army than Massachusetts. Of course in arriving at this result it would be necessary to de duct from Massachusetts and credit to us the Iarfre numbers of our black men that she enlisted into Massachusett reg iments and used as substitutes for her kid-gloved gentry, and not one in ar hun . dred of whom ever went into the Army, except in an easy, comfortable and safe position. She is no more entitled to claim these as a part of her war quota than she is to claim as her own produc tion the cotton which we produce and the manufactures. And if her talent and her culture were in the Army, how is it that she cannot send any of them to Congress, how is it that almost all her representative men, instead of being sol diers, were during that terrific strife en gaged in making money and contributing to that vast wealth of the North without which the So-th could not have been comqueretl? " " - But, sir, I make no charge upon the people of Massachusetts". The 'gentle man has gone far out of his way to seek an opportunity to defend what he is pleased to caU the State of Mas?achu setts. Nobody had assailed the State, but the gentleman, with a coolness that is characteristic of his caste, assumes the aristocracy of Massachusetts to be the people and the State. The great mass of the people of Massachusetts are labor icg men and women. Her common . peo ple and her middle classes that con stitute the great majority of her people are as good as the people of any other State. It is not they who are now brought lo the bar of the country for a violation of the Constitution, but the minority w'aich tramples them, down by disiranching them by the thousands, and which constitutes itself an, aristocracy, founded upon neither blood car brains, but raonev alone. It can hardly be serionsly contended that the contestant is entitled, to admis sion. - The legal question here is, it being es tablished that Massachusetts is entitled to lesi than eleven rremtcrsof theilouse, shall she bo permitted to violate the plaiu mandate of the Constitution be cacse Congress by the apportionment act of 1372 allot led to her oicven mombers? It iscQQteoded. Congress having fixed the apportionment erroneously, wrong fully, and unconstitutionally, the wrong can only be righted by a new congress ional reapportioameut. i'he answer: is that Congress can no more violate the Constitution than M apsachusetts v eant and when Congress declared thai Massa chusetts was eatioi to elevea mernDett it violated the Constitution and,4 Eke all, other unconstitutional legislaAioA, t' act, so far as It applied to Massachu setts, was simjtfy and void.

TJxe" answer is that if she bat two more votes on the floor of this House than she is entitled to, thereby giving totltayt three men in Massachusetts the Vamepblitical,- power as tour mea in New, York or ?' .North Carolina if she has thus violated .the Constitution of the country in tta-plainest termf, then the wron must be remed ied and such steps must be taken as ara necessary to give her her true aod,lawful representation. "The only way to de this is to turn out all ber members in this House and provide by competent legis- lation for her true and. lawful appor'to. ment. It is rWr-that tbV're ii no d nVr! ence between the title of the coofr'&tee in this ce and that of aov other nieiu- ber of the Massachusetts delegation. There is-no method by, which yotx can select two of the eleven; and11 exclude thera en as to reduce the number down to her constitutional nine. The defect is in the title of each and every 0ud oithem, it is inherent and vital, and - no man can distinguish "this case from the other case which I have out ef a State sendinc for ty members when she is only entitled to eight. - . . it docs not follow, that, because the apportionment law of 1872 is null as to uassachusetts it-is so as to the other States. Kvery. law yer knows that a law may be good in part and bad in part; nor does it follow because the - illegiti mate and excessive two which Uasso. chusetts unlawfully' enjoys" belong to soma other stateymai tne title or the Representatives of that State is defec tive. ; , - r.-,- , -v-v-..-r . : ,.
