Why, Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen, they earned me up on a high moun tain; showed me the glories and beau., ties of the Republican party, and said : " All this will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

Gentlemen, you have got llolden and Longstreet, and a thousand more, whom you bought up. and put in your pocket, and whom you now consider marvelously proper and patriotic moo. This country will judge of such things. Let mc tell you, gentlemen here, who represent, the North, that there, are Union soldiers i on this side of the House. Blaine and th sachusetts Mr. but hy Jalk sometimes, you wouUrthink their idea wis that a man who had been in the anhy of the Confederate States was not fitjto occupy a place on this floor or to hold any olUce of profit or honor under thc Government. The gentle man trom Maine, Mr. Blaine when wc hacl under discussion the amnesty bilk ufidertook here to prpclucie a letter which he said he had reccive frt)m a distinguished, gentleman from North Caroli !i:w I want the country - to know who ore his associates in the South.- He had read liere a letter of Governor Ilolden, of North Carolina, his political ally; his warm friend, his supporter in tit b f,.r 1 1 1 o n ill t i aiic nm( 1 'i - . confess. t.'iiOTiin mul e linlil thfit lttr nn I here a;? a letter from a molel patriot, who was crying: out for his own liberty and for his own rights. Sir, Governor Ilolden for twenty-odd years was the leading secessionist in' North Carolina, thy head and front of the rebellion -a menibef, gentlemen, of the secession convention'-; and he signeVl the ordi- nanccjof secession with a new gold pen, and then waved it around liis head and said jc should be placed away among the valuable archives of the family and that no mortal man should ever write with it again; This is the friend of the distinguished member ; this is the apan jhe wants to make out is better than the men on this side of the House.; lint tills is not alL Mr. White y ill the gentleman al low me ? i !

Gen eral Rice, who py his modesty ot de meanor always Commands my respect, who spilled his blood for the Stars and Stripes that are waving over your head, Mr. Chairman ; jand yet I say to vou that the gentleman from Maine-Mr. gentleman from Mas Hoar think more to day of BillTIolden and Longstfeet than they do of General Rice, General Wil liams, General Banning, and the other noble Democrats here who fought and bled for their country. It is all party hypocrisy and ; humbug, that they ex pect to cry aloud this summer to carry the election. . Laughter. Mr. Chairman, I expect to speak boldly and freely, and to keep within the 'bounds of patriotism, too. Re newed laughter. That is what 1 ex pect to do. I have been thinking over these things for several days past, I I have seen gentlemen on that side of the .-House, merely for po litical effect, (waving their hands to- I 3 wards us and! denouncing us as unpa triotic and not true to the country, es- i I will not let him interrupt me. I hope I will be pardoned for entering a little into detail I do not want to take up much of the limited time of the committee when there are so many others who wish! to address the com mittee. But I propose to look a little aronnd us and see what we have had ; what this great Republican party has done for us. I will tell you! one thing it has done. It has undertaken to bribe the people. It has demoralized the people. It has made an attack upon the virtue of the people. It has broken down the purity of the ballot-box. It has destro3'ed the freedom of voting in mj' section of country, if not v yours. It has raised the standard of l;hc military and. placed it, Mr. Chairman, even in your own city, in terror ' over the ballot-box, a thing entirely inconsistent with liberty. I do hot say the1 Republican party has not done somej good things. There are men in the Republican party whom I like, wuo, I think, are patri otic in their motives. But their party is now being driven to the wall, and is fighting,, with u tenacity with which it never fought before, to retain 'position i and place. J You see," sir, j they did not expect when we were turned loose that this House would soon be Democratic. Laughter It! frightened them; they were amazed atjit: and they have un dertaken, as I said before, to lay the burden of secession upon the Northern Democrats, weighing them down with us, so that theyjmay beat the Demo cratic party in the comiug contest and be- jthe President, and his unfaltering al- my friends on the other side who have 1 general vagueness, uncertainty, f been trying to teach the colored men :;nfT At.frtiv in f,.rm And sidwfnn that they were their lord and savior 1 1 or tUe two decisions th Uiniou in j cannot too highly praise him for the admit that the time has been j when tno Kentucky case is by far- the more ! sacrifice of personal feeling he makes some of the colored people woul.Vbow , impoi-tant.

It declare! in its resolutions in i Congress and in the proclamations of its President that that was not the ob ject. But, sir, the colored man was freed, in spite of both the Northern and Southern men, by the will of God.

Who did ? I will answer that Question. They undertook to pass the fourteenth amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States and said to the Southern people. 4Yote for that ; you are fresh out of thc war; now turn around and abuse and curse your friends, and let them die." We would, not do that. If the Republicans could have got the white people of the South to have voted with them they would have let the colored man go on forever without a vote.! But when they found out that the Southern people, though defeated in arms, still rose pure and strong in virtue, and could not be beaten down in that way, they threat ened ns that they would let the colored people vote. .
