Dockefy, OF NORTH CAROLINA, In the Jfou.se of Rcprcentttivest March 3, . 171, on the Condition of the Southern Xlatw Mk. Do-KEitv: Mr. Speaker, the South and its condition is a fruitful theme of di ,M-ussion on thin Hoor and in the other branch .of Congress. Propositions are pending in loth 1 louses for the improvement of that condition as various as arc the political sen timents entertained, prejudices indulged. or resentments to be indulged. Politics, with avlcw to the success or party alone, ; seems to animate onr counsels and control our lt-gislation. The bearing of the laws thiaxir. that line u. poliey.seema the. motive of onr ac tion, almost regardless of the peace and order of onr common house ' hold. Statesmanship is an unpopular word antiquated and ellete. Its once thrilling impulses, which prompted the legislator t riso above the groveling desires peculiar to Keif ami self-preferment, to ignore tho claims of party when the interests of one's country demanded it. are seen and felt no more. This is essentially true, sir, of all the political organizations or our day, and inut le eventually the bane of our Repul lie, dispensing its virus until the whole system, in all its minutest part', becomes; unsound an J cancerous, unworthy of pw-j sorvation and unlit io live. In all this wrangling for place, for power tho South, unfortunately poor and helpless,' seems to constitute the stock in trade, the battle-crv of party, tho war-whoop of ven- geanco. mis spim is nenner maniy, enm tahle. nor brave., and does not become a' ma-'naniiiious ieople Hushed with success and elated with a sonse of power and strength, defiant and omnipotent. The Southern people rebelled and I am not here to palliate nor justify that act a grievous error, and sorely have they repent ed. A war ensued, costly, vindictive, and bloody; yet tho Union forces have sup-: pressed tho rebellion and conquered thot South. Tho seceding States aro all restored;! the prodigal has returned, anil peace should ensue. Five years ago last April the shat-j tcrcd and discomfited forces of General Leo surrendered their arms. Their blood-stain- ed flag was furled forever, and the bravo soldiers of either side, proud of their valoi and heroism, were mustered out, and havd long since lost the arts of war, and aro to-i day and have been for years mingling and commingling in their respective vocations in peace and harmony, forgetful of tho past and hopeful of tho future. They havo had war enough ; they know its horrors. They, havo forgiven, ami are to-day locked to gether in friendly bonds of sympathy for1 each other's hopes and sufferings, and of mutual concern for each other's welfare,; which truo manhood and moral heroism' ever inspires. But tUp politicians outsiders in tiuies of trouble, when men's souls aro tried continuo tho strife, and the South mourns, bleeds, and suffers. Now, Mr. Speaker, what is the remedy j for our Southern troubles; what is tho so lution to this vexed problem of Southern eoonstruciion j ny mis uisailection. I alienation, and distrust 7 xneso aro prac ' tical questions, and worthy our considera- lion, aim suouiu uc mcwcu m uiu ugiit ui experience, observation, and instincts of our nature as well as unbending cquity stem justice, and tho rigors of law. '; I am not here, sir, as the defender of .se cession, the apologist'for tho war, nor yet of that spirit of lawlessness which undoubted ly prevails in portions of the South, which, should at all hazzards be suppressed ; but ermit mo to say that allowance should bo made for the disturbed condition of South em society, tho disintegration of her social struct u re," the destruction of her property, the desolation of her homes, tho loss of her sons, the demoralization of her people, the recklessness engendered of the rights of j person and property, ever an inseparable incident of all Avars, but universally to thp vanquished, at least for a tinie, exacting in, its -demands and fearful in its results.- These circumstances, to say nothing of thoi lileration of four million slaves, uneduca--ted to self-control, unused to self-reliance1, with the prejudices of caste and the animos ities of race, and lastly, the mortification of defeat, all alike tend to uneasiness, disorder and discontent. It is idle to expect a per fect and immediate calm altera fearful tem pest, and it is more idle still to anticipate by compulsory legislation perfect peace anil quiet among a vanquished and ruined peo-j pie on the instant of the cessation of hostili ties. Tho intervention of time must bo in voked, a gradual yielding to the new order of things, softening the feelings and mitiga-i ting the pangs of mortification and regret. Disorders and outrages, Mr. Speaker, ex ist everywhere and are not confined to our Southern borders. Human naturo must change, and radically change, before any people anywhere, or under any circumstan ces, will be free from outbreaks of passion or madness. In other more favored por tions of the Union, where tho rebellion was not so fatal in its consequences, we daily hear of outrages, thefts, and murders, yet they have no political significance and awaken no latent sparks of philanthropy and fellow-feeling, receiving a passing no- tico in the morning' paper, and all is hush ed. Crime, unfortunately, is everywhere on the increase, and our land, in all 'its parts, must be afflicted with its due portion. But, Mr. Speaker, other considerations still enter into this examination of remedies. The South, however unseemly the expres sion may appear, lias grievances demand ing redress, complaints which should bo heard in a spirit of kindness and respect," for they are believed to be Just and well founded. I instance the injustice with which the South has been treated as evi denced in the non-payment of the assistant marshals who took the census of I860. This illustration affords an instance of repudia tion, such as would shock the feelings of any community in which common commer4 clal honesty is recognized as reputable. ltut, to a people impoverished by the war,' weakened, exhausted, broken down, this shame ml act was as bitter as it was unhap py, as cruel as it was dishonorable. I find from records of the Census Bureau the fol lowing sums of money due and unpaid to the several Southern States : ! Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, . North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas, Maryland, $21,331 11 :,3SG87 13,578 07 Hi,7G6 09 10,698 97 11,718 19 5,115 73 1,309 76 1(),C04 93 3,139 86 2.-,296 OS 1 -',230 63 1:1,619 48 1 1,075 92 655 99 Amounting in tho aggregate to $171,121 68 Why withhold this money? The ques tion is not what were the claimants, but what is the Government of the United States T The question is not are they fit to receive this money, but is it due and owingT Let us see. In the year I860 the census of the United States was taken and tne major ity of those employed in that servico in the South were paid one half of the amount earned. This was a perfect recognition of the justice, of the demand, and this re cognition was had before the first rebel gun had been fired and before the war had been seriously foreseen. In tho spring of 1861 each claimant was notified that there was a sum due him from the Government. Thus, both by a partial payment and notification by the United States authorities, were these claims acknowledged evidence strong and indisputable and this before a single act of hostility, before a first blow at tho flag or a first act of disunion. If we aro to bo guided by tho common love of justice, or the common love of man kind, by any rule or precedent or practice, it is idlo to contend that any act on the part of either debtor or creditor, Government or claimant, can, in the light of an enlightened jurisprudence, excuse aiuiniiment oiooji- gations so strongly acknowledged and so unquestionably allowed. To hold the con trary is to throw open the doors to a repu diation, such as will shake and shatter our financial structure to its base. Tho pledge of tho nation is a sacred pledge, whether given on greenbacks or white papevand these promises to these claimants are as sacred as the bonds so current and so priz cd. Suppose that any Northern State should seecdo lrom tuo union. vouiu tno uov eminent dare to repudiate such of its bonds as might be the property or tne citizens of such section 7 JN o, it justice did not, policy would restrain a course so infamous. Yet wherein is the difference in point of princi pie ? These Southern claimants are unpaid, and even those who, amid temptation, dan f lft left TO- ger and ruin, stood by the Union were uncared for for ten years, and now are re quired to take an oath which presumes fraud in the outraged and insulted claimant, and those who are unable to take the oath cannot receive any portion of that money which the Government promised them, thus justifying repudiation under a law of its own enactment. Rebellion and rcpudia tion are twin sisters : the former brought on the war, the latter entails on the South the miseries of the contest. So likewise, Mr. Speaker, of tho many poor men in the South who carried your mails previous to the war, who have to-day all of $1,000,000 due them, an honest debr, money faithfully earned; and badly needed. Tne joint resolution or Marcn 'Z. ISOT, ior- bidding tho payment of all claims accruing prior to tho 12th of April, 1861, save on the condition of severe proof of ioyalty Is the most cruel and keenest weapon ever forged in tho fires of rcpudiativo and vindictive legislation. Not that it takes from the ene my of the Government, but that it robs the helpless and throws open wide the door to a system of repudiation which may crush the'Northern as its forerunner has outraged tho Southern people. Again, Mr. speaker, why not recognize the claims of the 103'al man of the South for stores taken for your armiesz vvhy bar the door to his claim ? Upon what princi pie of justice or orcomraon courtesy is pay ment withheld ? Why not treat all alike of every section, demanding the same prools of loyalty and or Ins property 7 Ihe South ern Union man lost all, save his attachment for his Government and. his principles which sustained him amid "the fiery ordeal of four years of blood and ruin. Can you, by this denial of justice, expect his respect, much less his love and devotion? Why not organize a commission at once in eacu Southern State authorized to investigate the facts and report the same to the Congress of the United States 7 Why delay this matter until tho claimants aro dead and the evi dences of proof lost 7 How much more manly would it be in the Government to make "just compensation" for property thus taken from its citizens for its own use and benefit. , I The persistent refusal, sir. to pay these iust claims operates unequally and harsh lv. creates just cause 01 complaint and want of confidence in the protecting care and dis position of the Government. A prompt and full liquidation of these honest debts would produco happy results, especially if coupledy Willi oilier measures ui gtuurai reuei. iuui continued disfranchisement of the Southern people but tends to irritation and disaflee tion. and can in no conceivable way be pro ductive of good to our people. Your south ern citizens are either entitled to the pro tection of your Government in a participa tion in its administration or merit its con denination and punishment. If the former. your censure is unjust and criminal: if the latter, inflict your penalties, unmixed with etty annoyances or irritating provocations. The common weal' demands lull amnesty or punitory enactments, punishment or pardon, execution or forgiveness. Now, Mr. Speaker, this whole contro versy is of easy solution. In the first place, a full and unconditional recognition of tho rights of tho Southern States as members of the American Union, in the payment.of her just claims of ante Vellum indebtedness, without the intervention or a rigid test-oath, which virtually excludes tho claimant : in the second place, the payment to loyal citi zens for supplies used by your armies to compensate somewhat for their losses and their heroic devotion to'the Union ; and, in the third place, full and entire relief of all disabilities, political and civil, of whatever character, perfect equality of human right, Avith no discriminating laws or proscripti ve enactments. Nothing save an equality be fore the law can restore to relations compat iblo with good government the now still separated sections of this country. Discrim inating laws are as repugnant to tho animus of republican institutions as discriminating taxes are to the letter of our Constitution. Then your Southern States will take cour age, and by timely action, under the guid ance of their best men of experience, abili ty, and moral worth, will soon arouse from their slumbers, and under the fostering care of the Government will present a contented, united, and happy people. When this is done the Government lias done its duty, end in yielding its protection can surely and consistently demand tho allegiance of its citizens, and in the event of insubordin ation to authority will be justified in the enactment of severe laws and in their en forcement, if need be, at the bayonet's point. Remove every complaint, yea, ev ery pretext of complaint, and then compel ODouiencc; protect and then enforco sub mission. Then, though passion Okay havo uiriueu it win not have broken our bonds ofatlection. The mvstic cords ofmemorv. stretching .from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth-stone all over this broad land, will yet swell the I M A -WW ' tuorus 01 tne union when again touched, aa surely they will be, lv the letter angels of our naturo.
