J But When the triumph of onf "arum wa-x s isured, thei valley of the Mississippi won, and the Confederacy wa seen to stiunrcr in obiU- iiiate anilDOHMiiaw 'Conflict, th ' council of our rulers became divided.

But- tbey found in President Lincoln an inflexible oppo nent, who would not turn Imm tbe direct path f immtsliste restoration, and who repudiated jthctr theory of rt:o suicide, 'then newdy,i in vimtod for their pnrty- purpose. . On Uiel flth. of lerember, 1SC3, President Lincoln issued his iroclamation of atnaeaty and plan of restora ition.

It proposed, as conditions pre cedent to restoration, amendments to State constitution prohibiting slavery, repudiating the rebel debt, (both which amendment all the exctuiled State hare since made by thc-advice o President Johnson,) and disfranchising about one foprth s many of tbe leaders a the amend ment; now insisted on by Coagres propose to disfranchise ; and authorized the president to recognize suth State governments only after emigre had given it consent. This bill Pres ident Lincoln refused to sign, standing fast to his owa plan of unconditional restoration. He was forthwith assailed with a violence and ran cor only paralleled by the assaults of the same men on President Johnson, Wade and Davis, who led the assault, denounced him by mani festo as guilty of " d'ubtiorial vtutpatioK? and warned him, in. very much the tone of the threat of impeachment now made against President Johnson, that " the authority oi Congress on the question of restoration pairumount and mud l TetptUtd." A National Convention wa call ed to meet in Cieroland to nominate Fremont, or Chase for President, denounce Mr. Lincoln' policy of restoration, .and read him put of tbe party. 1 The call of that Convention sound like a blast from the bugle of Greeley and Forney of to-day. Cheer and hutgliter.l Hear it: l... ! J J-. .1 . il. "The imbecile and tuoK policy vi iut present Adminiatrati;rechery to ustice ami freedom In itVi' 4 of reconstruction, whereby the honor 5aTnity of tha nation have been sacrificed in conciliating the arro irant (lave power and to further the end of an unscrupulous ambition call in thunder tones upon mi lover oi justice sou uieir eouuirj wj come to th reacue of th Imperilled nationality, and the cause of impartial justice and univer sal freedom threatened with betrayal and over throw." V It I hard to real i in the fact that this thunder-bolt was aimed at President Lincoln two years ajo instead of at President Johnson this year.- But tlie thunderbolts of to day are torged on the same anvil, and hurled by the Mine hands as those which fell in noisy impotence at tlie feet of Abraham Lincoln. Nearly all of the present Radical leaders of . : ,. . r ii .i t.i. v undress were notoriously iu 11111 syiupaiuy n 1111 this movement, but only fe few of them were bold or rash enough to commit themselves to it openly and in advance. They knew Mr. Lin coln's high place in the hearts and confidence of the war party and, though they then a -now ttpd 'the organization of tlie party in their btuids, they halted and balked when the issue CHOie ; - "Afearei To be the same in their own art and valor, Aa they were in desire." Grutx Brown, Fremont, Wade; Davis, Coch rane, Pomaroy, Wendell Phillip, Moss, Ffed. Douglass, and a few hundred leaders of lea note," "stood tlie hazard of the die." (A voice, "And Ann Dickinson.") No; Anna Dickin son did not respond tn the call of the Conven tion, but Mrs. K. Cady Stanton did, saying she took it for granted the call of the Convention of the "Radical men of tbe nation" used the word mrn in its largest sense, and therefore she responded. (Laughter.) Tbe Convention nom inated Fremont and Cochrane, denounced the President' restoration policy, claimed that all power over the ubjit belong to Congress, and insisted on tbe disfranchisement of all reb els, repentant and unrepentant, and the confis cation of all their land for our soldier. It plattorm waa pretty Radical, but fell a bow-shot short ot the Radical programme of today', omitting, as fl did, negro euffrage. Then billowed the Convention of the wiir Durtv at BaltimoreLwhich unanimously endorsed 'President Lincoln' policy, renominated Eim by acclamation, admit tad to teat ami vote iu the Convention the delegate chosen from Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana, which had been ru orgauizud under hi proclamation, and declared in a platform reported by Henry J. Raymond, that the only condition of peace and re-union "shall be tk4 VHtxmditiiHMU mtrrauUrttf hoUilitf by iU reteh, and their rut Mr to their alUgiane to the Constitution and fakM tho Uniltd State To make it repudiation of the theories of th Radical faction more marked, the Convention nominated Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, for Vice President, against tb protest of that fac tion, led by Thad. Steven, who declared that patriot Btie w bni a eoaqaered province, and her loyal oh an "alien enemy. 1 ue war party hailed the triumph of the President and hi restoration policy aver tha Radicals, and en dorsed them overwhelmingly. The leader loi that faction, baffled and overthrown, clung to the skirt of tha Administration, and were car ried with itagaia into power. Tb Radical ship launched at Cleveland wa abandoned almost before it touched, water; and after drifting idly a month or two, stink unnoticed, and, I regret to add, without it crew, (Applause.) But nothing daunted by the defeat of their recon struction policy, and the triumph of that of Mr. Lincoln, they renewed the Issue with him forthwith, denouncing bis policy with unabated rancor and arrogance ; and the last public act of hi illustrious life wa a speech on the 11th of April, 1885, in vindication of hi policy and in favor of the immediate and tojitonditionul admission of the Senator and Representative from the re organized State. (Applause.) Now I ask, in tb light of thi recital, ia it President Johnson or Congress wbo is false to tb principle at the war party l The funda mental issue between them is precisely tbe same a that between Org res nd President Lin coln both Executive holding the State a ex- , biting with their constitutions and law as lie- tor toe rebellion, and a entitled to resume their relation to tha General Government by tbe action of their voters, professing present lovalty. oualifled ander their own laws: and fytMlfftrlMet' State fuel" their constitution and raws ud light by re- oeiiion, ami ran nave incut again only al III i P1"eJ of FEMi '"4 J5 iuch term, u itiittmpj Jn tlrioicinit y nan given ris.. to, may ct fit to prescribe..

A i 1 AMA of principle -Prsaiidonl Lincoln, having been more liberal in proposals of pardon Cian bi Mtcc-ssor, and Congrps len exacting and pro. scrijitive la it condition of restoration tliea than now. I assert, therefore, that Congress, and not President Johnson, haT proved false to th principles of the partyi which placed them in power. Prolonged spjilaasp, They betray the principle of the gforion war party, wh prevent the accomplishment of th great end of the war 1io Kick to make it an enemy and an obstruction t renuion who, with, distended cheeks, blow tbe dying eniber of the rebellion to light ajtia it lurid and destructive fires who will have no reunion unless with guaranties of party and sectional dominion. 7 I am well aware that the Radicals have how won a majority of the Union party to the sup port of their disunion policy. I recognize the fact, and mourn the separation which most fol low ot men united Jn service, and renown throughout the BtrugKle lor tbe preservation of our Government.

As Toombs, and Keitt, unit vvigfall lorced Soutlieru stnti'siiien and patriots into tlie measures which led to the relwllion by the dread cry of ''iilHiTlnoiiUlu," so Stevens, and Sumner, and Wuda fiiri'iHl lett-r Union men than they into their disunion policy by tlie still more dnndiil cry of "trHTrin"; Wlistever terror that cry uay have lor others.it siiould have- none for us. Wo fought for tlie Union, and know it value. Now that it is again iu peril we can afford to face storms of bW for it as we have faced more dreadful storm lor it before; (Appliuie.) But, gentlemen, we can not Rflord to stand idly by and see it lost or endangered through fusr of reproach, or love ot the grand old party now put to such base uses ; or hate of former enemies of the Union, now willing to help us rescue it from destruc tion by. it whilom friend. W are bouuu a loyal ion of th Union to struggle again to save, it by whatsoever meana are at' command. In doing thi we become no man' men, aud no party's men, (applause ;) we ar supporter of tbe President, only because and while he sus tain the Constitution ; and we co-operate with the Democracy only because and while it is endonrered and they sustain it. (Appluus.)ar Whoever are defender af tbe Constitution when imperilled, they are our party ; who ever ssad it, they are our political foe. (Ap plause.) : The less ultra Radicals. tell us that as soon a the constitutional amendments lately proposed are adopted, and each excluded State shall have ratified them, the Union shall lie restored. But tliey forget or ignore that we are bound by a Constitution, obedience to which i the high est duty of citizens, and without obedience our I rcc, government will be destroyed. The Com mittee on reconstruction sav ; "Thes will not argue the question wlrfthcr the lute Confederate Stall's arc still States of the union, n-ftlicy say that is a "profitless abstraction." If this be so, then the question whether Congress is bound to obey the Constitution of the I'nitod States is also a profitless abstraction, for it entitles all HUittt ta (As Union to lie represented in the Senate and the House. If they are 'out nf the Union it Is because thetr act of secession were valid and effectual under the Constitution ; and we violated the Constitution in making war on tbein for seceding. If they are in it, then Con gress violate the Constitution in refusing them representation through men personally qualified and duly elected to represent them. The Re construction Committee and Congress admit they are in the Union and have governments in allegiance, by submitting the proposed amend ment to them for ratification, and- offering them representation a a reward tor ratifying them ; for if they were not in the Union, and had not such governmtntg, their action on the amendment would be void. . The proposition that these State are in the Union is so incon trovertible, that the Reconstruction Committee were compelled to defend tbe action of Congress in refusing them representation, by alleging tUut they had committed crime. I think the bar of the United State Is yet to learn that a State can commit crime known to the law. Who is to try, or convict or tentonce a Slate t Thi is but a lame and impotent excuse for the assumption of the Constitutional power to exclude State (j-nm representation at the will of Congrcs. If they have tliat power, the Constitution secures no rights to man or State' which Congress, at its pleasure, may not take away ; the right guaran teed by tbe Constitution to State arc as sacred at least u those guaranteed to persons. If they may be lawfully impaired or destroyed by Con Stress, then it is omnipotent We live then un der s Congress, not under a Constitution. II the be so, our Constitution is rottenness, and our proud Republic built on tiibblc. (Loud applause.) 1 I therefore assert tliat ill obstrautioa policy oft'ongres I not merely in violation of the principle and object avowed and recognized by the armlet and navies, tha people and the President of th United State, from tha begin nine to the end of tbe war, but also that it i in direct violation of the Constitution. This ought to b the end of tb argument r taut, c( fortunately, the fact that that policy is gener ally conceded to be unconstitutional is not enough to condemn it with many, if not a ma jority of onr people, I heard the venerable Ja cob Collamer say, in 1803, that Senator of the United State had laughed whon be had ob jected to legislation they deemed expedient on .the ground only of it unconstitutionality. "That laugh," taid he, "ring in year like the knell of the Republic" , . ( The New Orleana I'uayuno regret to record that "Louisiana has been disgraced by a denial of tbe right oi free speech to one of the colored race If it bad happened to a white man, It would aot have beea either so remarkable or so offensive, butto deny it to one ot the nation's wards and pets is atrocious." It seems that tlie Reverend Armistead Lewis, a colored preacher of th Bsptist denomination, in Opelonsas, Louisiana, declared that the Radicals are less the friends of h colored race than the South ern men whom they wished to disfranchise, and advised lis hearers to choose tlie Utter for tlie'r friends and employer. Whereupon the Bureau autocrat of that region, who' wis he to Compel 1 he negroes to take himj and those who pay. him commissions, for their "friends and employ er," ordered the reverend colored Lewi to abandon preaching and impended him from bi function. , .
