And it was promised long ego that to the county contributing the moat a banner should ' be presented es a testimonial to their regard for the- soldiers. But as I have something to say in roger! to gPneral politics and the coodition Gf poisotry, 1 hove been advised io esk first, on these subjects, and at the conclusion the tereznomes of the presentatton will take piece. ' - o I desire, in the fire place, io remark that to me the general condi'tion of the country is more promising and fsvorable. know there are those who take gloomy views of whet is called reconstruction. But to me the prospects seem highly favorable. The war terminated suddenly, and the submission on the pert of the Southern Or rebel States has been more complete, and it has been more sodded than tied expected. And from all dist I can learn, believe that all idea ot secession or further resistance to the Uovernznent of the Muted State', or the a coutionance or, the establishment of slavery, ars effe;tually and forever banish froze the minds of the majority of tbs Southern people. There is much exasperation of feeling down there, and there will be for months and years to come. There are many persons wbo take a narrow view of things. who have lost every thing in this war, and who are smarting under the hemilietion of defeat, that are deeply exasperated, and eater occasional disloyal sentiments and ' threats about the future. But the great majority of the Southern people are thoroughly submissive., believe all further ideas of secession, the establish. meat of a Southern Confederacy. are effectually extinguished, and there is on more danger ot secession nOW in Booth Carolina or Georgia than in the State of Wiens. We cannot expect that the people of the rebel States will come to love us in the courts of a few years. We sena expect that a people who have been so completeiy subjected, who have so nearly , lost everything they bad in the struggle with us, should come to live in harmony with us in this short length 'of time. , The great point now to be considered is the question whether there igen, longer in the Southern mind an 'Mention to secede from the Union and resist the authority of the Government of the United States, and to establish a South. ern Confederacy., say I believe that asides is extinguished forever. Things have changed very much in. the South from what they were before the war; and if there are those who expect that par. ties will resume their old relations, and that one party can sustain agsin the South the relation it sustained before the war, such expectations may be bans ished at once and forever. , Slavery, the tie that bound the party together, North , and South, is gone, and instead of hair. ' ing but one party in the South, substan. tially, as heretofore, we shall now have the some parties in the South as we have in the North. I should not be surprised myself, if, in the couree of a few years, the Southern States should become the most radical States in the nation. 1 should not be surprised even if the State of South Carolina should grant suffrage to her colored populatiou before the State of Indium does to hers. Mt. Johnson was elected by the Union party of the nation, and be is intitled to have that party support his administration, unleu be shall commit some int. portant error, or shall depart in some vital particular from the principles on which be was elected. The impression las got abrosd in the North that Mr. shamans has devised some Dew policy, by which important facilities are granted foe the reconstruction of the rebellious States; and that be is improperly and unnecessarily pushing forward the work of reconstruction; that be is presenting improper facilities for restoring those who have been engaged in rebellion to' the possession of their several political tiotc, , , It is one of toy purposes here to-night to say to you that so ler as his policy of amnesty and reconsPuction is concern ed, that ha has absolutely presented with. Icing new, but that he has simply presented a continuance of the policy that President Lincoln laid befort the country on the 8th of December. 1863. Mr. Johnson's amnesty prociamol', 47-ro from Mr, Lincoln's only in tivicid tion It contains that Mr. Lincoln's did ' sot contain. Ills plan of reconstruction is absolutely and simply that of Mr. Lincoln's; nothing more tor less, ex. cepting one condition, thst Liocoln re. quired one-tenth of the people should be willicg to embrace his pie e before they were entitled to its beneSits, wheretta Johnson says nothing about the onetenth, and se far as the plan hes been sated upon, it has been with the &Forces' of a larger number even than that. believe that the one thing which has contributed to cause suspicion to rest upon Mr. Johnson's policy more than soy other, is the fact that it has been endorced by the Democratic party. This may be regarded by many boneee venom' as a suspicious circumstance; but Ism sure that Mr. Johnsou is not justly reepoosible for that. Tbe Democratic, party could not have lived another year upon the policy which they have advocated for a few years past It was a policy opposed to the war; a policy in favor of the rebellioe, aod against the Government of the United States. And when WO were triumphant the Democratio party could oo longer stand upon its rotten policy. Thome we end that in the State of New York, at the recent Democratic State Conventiou, they not only adopted a Union platforin, but with one exception nominated Republicans for candidate. That excep- ., Con was John Van Bu ran, wholes been eyerything by turns and nothing in par- , Cooler. Now, I Or000ee to contrast the plans ,- of reconetruction adopted 14...rresident Johnson and that proposed by President Lincoln in 1863; end hope important results, as fist as the publio mind is con- ' cerned, znay flow from the comparison. Mt Lincoln in hie policy:of reconstruc- . Ito; presented to Congress in a messazt Dec. 8, 1863, prescribed sn oath of atm- " Rieoee to be taken by those who were ett titled to take it under hie proclamatiort. shall read that oath and contraet with the one which Mr. Johnson requires; do solemnly swear, in the Imileace of Almighty Giodi thet will

Leuesforth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the union of the States thereunder, and tbst I will io Lite manner abide by and firthfully support all acts of Congress paseed during tbe existing rebellion, with reference to slaves, so long snd so far es not repeeled, tiscel6ed or held void by Congress, or by decision of the Supreme' Court and that will, in like manner, abid 'hy and faithfally support all proclamations of the President, made duriog the existing rebellion, having reference to slaves, so long and so far ae not modified or declared void by decision of the Supreme- Court. So help me Gott! 'i 1 will now read Mr. Johnson's oath, and you will find that his is more stringent than that of Mr. Lincoln, inasmuch as be leaves out that clastse saying it might be -modified by-Ccueress or the Supreme Court Mr. Johnson requires this owls: "I do solemnly swear, tor affirm,1 in the presence of Altnighty Cod, that I will henceforth - faithfully defend the Conetitution of the United States, and the Union of the States thereunder4nd that 1 will, in like manner, abAe by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations, which bave been made during the existing rebellioe, with refereoce to the emancipation IA slaves, so help me, Got" : . , Mr Lincoldexcluded from the benefit of his amnesty proelamation certain classes of persons. 1 will read a list of persons be would,not perosit to take the oath, except they-first received special pardon from hio:

Ile afterwards goes on to except seven other clasoes,,and excludes them from the benefits of , the amnesty; end the persons embraced in thou classes were permitted, under Mr.' Lincoln's proclamation to take the oath of amnesty, and be received back to their former righte: "70.

All persons who, at the time when they seek to obtain the benefit hereof by takiug the oath herein prescribed, are in military, naval or eivil confinement or custody, or under bond of militery or naval authorities or agents of the United States as primoners of war, or persons detaioad for offenses of tiny kind, either before or after conviction.

'Lt . So that Mr. Johnson restrained from taking' the Groh these nevelt elutes of persons, who were permitted by Mr. Lincoin to take it; and so far his plan of amneety was more stringent than that of Mr. Lincoln. , , Mr. Lincoln, in his plan of reconstruction, declared that all persous should have the right to vote foe delegates to the Conventions which, might be celled in the State to form State Constitutions, who- bad taken- the oath -prescribed by and who were lawful voters according to tbe law of the State la which they lived beforothepassage of the ordinance of eeceesion 2 'Mr. ' Johnson , made pre- - eiselp tits sante cooditiou.

Fs 'hist annual message to Congress, be gain brioge forward joie sante policy again preients it to tbe nation and to the Southern peep!, for adoption Again, on the 12th of April only two days before his death, and the last speech he made, Mr. Lincoln again referred to-and it-presected ;big policy of &meaty and reconstruction. That speech may be called hie dyiog words to his people, and desire to reed a portion of it to you. You remember the occasion; it wu after Richmond hal been evscuated; it was the evening after the news of Lee's gummier was reeeived Washingtou was illumioated; & large crowd had &nembled in front of the White House, and Mr. Lincoln spoke from the window. Ele referred to Loalsisina, acid gave the history of his policy thus: "to my annual message of Deember, 1863, and the accompanyiog proclamation, I presented a plan of reconstruction as the phrase gees. which I promised', if adopted by any State, would bo scceptable and euetained by the Ex ecutive Government of the nation. I distioct y stated that this was goot the out! plan which .might possibly be ecceptable. I elso dietioctly prctested that the Executive claimed no right to say when or whether memhere should be admitted to seats io Congress from owls States." ' I wish to main & remark here: It is sometimes said that under Johnson's policy those old poli vho fulminated sind earr;ed on tbe rebellion cart he re-elected sett returned to seats le Congress. Gentlemen who talk in that way forge& that on the 2',1 of July, 1862, Congress passed an actwhich has never been repealed and therefore is now in roll forceprohibiting any person from holding -any federst office, high or low, who bad directly or indirectly been concerned in ilia rebellion. So there is no deuger of those gentlemen getting into Coneress inlets that body should prove recreant ttt its trust, sod fail to enforce the 'law on its Mewls book. Mr. Line coin referred to this act aod said he &aimed no power to determine who should be elligible to seats in Congress; be claimed no power to bring toward any man whe had been disfranchised by the act of Cougrette And Mr. Johnsen) has never claimed he had tbe power, or would do sny such thing. That act of Congrees was hindivg- on -Mr. Lincolo, and is now binding on Mr. Johnson, and both reomenized its force. - It is not propond to ieterfers in any respect with the operation of that statute, soot allow men to come into Congreso, or iuto any federal office, who are prohibited from such privilege by this act of Congrestf IL , " This plan," be says, " was, in advance submitted to the Cabinet, and spe proved by very memher of it. One of them suggested that I should then and in that coniunction apply 04 Ernanci patioa Proclamation to the heretofore excepted parts of Virgiuia and Louisiana; that I st ould drop the suggestera shout sporenticeship for the freed pen pie, and that obould omit tbe proteet againet my own power in regard to the adesiseion of members of Conlon. But even he approved every part and parcel of the plan which has sine. been suipkyed or touched by the actioa of Lonislans " ' - Here Mr. Lincoln, just before his death, gives the history of this plats of reconstrucoon, Ile says it was submitted to every' utember of his Cabinet. Who were the members of his Cabinet? The present Chief Justice, Chase, lion. Edwin IL Stsioton, &tot the Hon. See retary. of State, Mr. Seward. Sorely the - approval of these dietioguished gentlemen, who ben rendered each great service to the Dation, mut give some weight and character to the policy now pursued. , , But be goes on to say: , Th new coostitution of Louitiaaa, declaring emancipation for the whole State, practicaily applies the prochimation to the part previt usly exempted. It does not adopt spprenticeship for Ina freed people, and is silent, as it t cold riot well be otherwise, about the admission of members to Congress; so tint, as it is applied to Louisiana, every member of the Cabinet tally appoveil of the plan. The message weal, to Congresa, and read many commendations of the plan, writtea aud verbal; ace not a single objection to it from any professed emancipationist's came to my knowledge, until after the news wee reeeived at Washington that the people of Louisiana had begun a movement in accordance with it. , Then, in referring to this subject, be uses the following language: "Such has been my ou y agency in the, Louisiana movement My promise is made, as I bays frequently stated, but as bad oromiose are better. broken time kept, I shall treat this as a bad pr mien, and break it whenever I shall be coavinced that keeping it is averse to the public interest Bat I have DO yet heel so convinced " "Thu, we fled Mr Lincoin just before Lis death, referritg In wares and strong terms to hie policy of amnesty and reconstruction, and giving it bis sanction stilt ' Indeed be only be said to have died holdall int to the nation this very policy of amnesty ant reconstruction. It was bald out by him up to the very time the rebels bed down their arms - Mr. Lincoln died by the bend of the assassin,' and Mr. Johueon came into power. Ile took Me, Lincoln's cabioet as he left it. Ile took his pol cy in regard to amnesty, and reconstruction se he had left ito sad presented it to the world ;agitie only two des, before his death; and he has faithfully and bottomly attempted to administer that policy which wee bequeathed to him by tbat great man mend whose grave the whole world gathered se mourners. I have referred to these facto to show diet Mr. Johnson has devised no uew or stranga thing, Int has carried out the policy leteby bis venerated predecessor a policy that received the indorsement of the nation. by the triumphant re-election of Mr. Lincoln, that bad been proclaimed to tbe world nearly a year before the tins of his last election. I want to temark further upon this ' subject, and refer to the &Nicol of Contress, in refereoce to the (motion of ree , constructiono Some time in the month of May Henry Winter Davis, the distia&shed member of Con ,ress from Mary. !sod, ietroduced a bill into Congress providing a plan for recoostructiog the rebel States. It differed front the plan of Mr. Lincoln is some important respects, one of which was that in electing delegates he allowed no man to vote who had been concerned in tbe rebel-1 lion in any way. I vrill call your attene 1 Con to the character of that bill, and show you bow far Cowen was comoeitel ted by its dirtiet action to the, main , points in Me Johnson's policy. This bill provided for the appointment di Provisional Governors for these States, ji just as Mr. Lincoln's had done. - It provided that these Provisional Governors might tall State Conventions for the purpose of forming Constitutions. It went on to define the right of suffrage, , saying who would have the right to vote ' for delegates to those Conventions. It prozided that delegates should , be , elected by loyal wbite male eitizens of , the 'United States, who were twenty-one , yeers of sige, resident in the State, ate , call attention to the fact that Congress, ' only a little over a year ago, when it assumed -to take this matter out of the hands of the Bresident, expressly excluded the negro in voting for men who steehLeoepose those Conventions to

force new Constitutions for the rebel States Not only thie, but it stated what the Constitetioris ihould ernataire It provided that the Coustirutiona to be firmed by limee Conventions should eonform to the proviaions of this ,in three reepects: ' 1st. That co person who bell or exercised any of5ce, civil or military, above the rank of Colonel, shall be entitled to vote. - In ether word", that bill requires diet those conventions should exclude from the right of suffrage, in the State, all persoce who had been in the rebel army, above the rank of Colonel: thereby conceding the privilege might be extended to ell persons below the; rank. 2 That slavery or involuntary servitude shall not exist that State. That those Ststes should not assume any part of the Confederate debt Vitae were all the conditions that , this bill of Henry Winter Devitt imposed in reference to the coaventions that were to fortis constitutions. It did not require that there should be soy provision mule to coufer seffrage upon the negro at any time. It did not re gaits that they shoeld make provision , for hie educotion, that they should give him the right to ;Wife in courts of justice. That bill passed the houes by , vote of 74 to 66; and atterward, in July, passed the Senate. Mr. Liecoln : refueed to lige thst bill; be put it in his ; pocket, and some of you may remember , the sogry menifeeto put forth by Senator ! Wade sad floury Winter Davis, ehich for a time caused coosiderable strife in our ranks, sod threatened the success of our efforts to reators the integrity et th P nation , ' - Mr. Lincoln bad not refi.eied to sign dist bill there would he to-day se act of Congeries ott the etatatebook abeolutely prohibiting the tegro from partieipatieg in the work of reeonstruction, sad pledging the Government advance to accept the constitutioee that (night be made uuder that b It made nO Provision for the cave) beyond hie pre-penal liberty; and if thet bill had paseed those rebel States could present their members of Cougrese, sad you could not keep them coot, eecept by tramkting un der foot that -act of Congrets , So yon see that Conliress in its attion, did not make beer() suffrage a conditioo in its views of reconotraction., We have the direct sato:doe Congress in exeluding the negro frees the work of reconstruction, and makiug no provision for their rights beyond personal liberty. - Now, bow, ie -it with the policy of Messrs. Lincoln arid. Johnsoe? They moire that the revised Constitution shall forever prohibit elavery. Mr. Johnson bite said lime and agate that this was the first Coodition; he said to the South Carolina delegetion that reeently waited upon him: "it ie one otoiditioa that slavery shall be forever extinguished, suet the rizlits of the freedmen preserved." Ael am grief to see that wittily of doom States are making com mendabl progrese this direction. I see tint the Alabama Convention has adopted, by it vote of i3 to 3, a provision abolishiog and forever prehibiting slavery in that State, and requiring the Legislature to mak provieion for the protection of the freedmen in ' he enjoymeot ot their righic I now come to speak more particularly on the subject of suffrage. The Conatitutioo of the United Settee bag referred the question of suffrage to the items! States. This may have been right or may have been wrong, I merely speak of the rect. It has provided that such persone as hsve the right to vote by the laws el the- Stets, for members of the roost numerous branch of the Siete Legislature, shall have the right to vote for members of Conertst It then, iu another provielon, declares chit SLateo may, in any manner. they see proper, appoint or elect their Presidential electoro; so tbst the whole colestion of suffrage baa been referred to the eeveral State". It bag bete proposed by som to void the operation of this constitutionel provision by excluding members of Congress from the Southern State., until each time ea they shall ineerporate negro suffrage into their constitutions. That is one wsy in which to void this consti tutional provision. There is another plea, and that is the theory whichfrettardo these States ae beiog out of the Union; as no longer prectically in the Union, but held as conquered provinces, subject to the jurisdiction of Longreee, like onorgenixed territory. on the principle thud Congress has the power to provide for Wring conventions of these Ststeo, juot as it has in the Territory of Dakotah, end may preocribe the right of suffrage or determine who shall vote in electing delegate to those contestations; and may then detertniae whether it will accept the C000titution 10 formed, as it would do in the case of soy other territory. - I will Dot stop to argue this question now, but I will lay that from the beginning of the war to this time, every mossage of the Prolident, every proclernatioo, every State paper, and every act ' of Congrees, has proceeded upon the hypothesis that no State could eecede from the Cajon; that once io the Union, always in the Union. Mr. Lincoln every proclamation vein upon the principle that this war wee an insurrection; a rebellion of the pecple againet the Constitution and 'awe of the-United States; that it was not a rebellion of the States, but of the people or the several States and every man wait personally and iindivicitially heble for his ow, and could not shield himself under the Government of his State. He went upon the principal that every ordinancefflseceetion was invelid, bon eg no effect, and that those States were, in tbe ,contemplation of the law, in the Uttion, and could not be affected by the ection of those people; that the people of the Statea were pereenally responsible for their conduct, iist'as a men is responsible for the violation of the statute against the commission of murder; if one man can forfeit his rights to these, a thoustiod or a million can; but so far as their setion is concerned, they bad no power to effect State in 014' Government -Every message to Coogress has proceeded upon 'hie hypothesie.--Bachenaly Wore the ever, started: oat with tbe proposition that this was a rebellion of States; and he said he could not.coerce a State. Our reply to him was, we have nothicg to do with States; we will coerce the people of the Stets" who see in rebellion, holding every man reepousibls for his conduct. Upon this hypothesis we put dove the rebellion.. But it ia now propoeed by some that we shall practically admit that 'hoes Stalest did secede and go out of the Union; that the work ef lecession was practically accomplished, and s Government cis facto was established, and that we now hold these States as- re-conqueredprovinees, Just as we would bold Caesda if in a war we had conquered her. 'As a coast,quence of this doctrine, as I beard recently advocated by a distinguished gentleman on , the. other side, Jeff. Davis cannot be tried for treason.. Why?, Becalmbe is not a traitor.' Having succeeded in accomplishing a revolution and estabrahing a Government, be must be regarded es the head of a Government, as the ruler of a conquered province. The gentleman said we bad no more power to bold him for tretteon than we would tve tci bold the Governor of Canada, if we bad cooquered that provino& This is what the doctrine leads to, sad it loads to mazy calla thiggi sat

oontemplated by floes who have &den. eAted such a view. Another coosequence that wontd follow from the admission of that doctrine --end I may argue this point at more length at enother time---is, that we woultU be called .upon to pay the rebel debt If we admit that these S:ates were out of the Union for a moment, and were to be regarde'd in the light of belligerents, it would be insisted upon at once that when we tete theta back as cooquered States, we take them as they are, with their cleLt just as we would take any other State belorrging to another Government The question of negro suffrage, which now threatens to divide us, although it may ho smooth la theory, is fraught with practical difficulties. I reject in advance , schemes of colocization. They are impracticable, whether upon this continent or upon another continent. Besides erbieb, we have no right to insist on the colonization of the negro. Is is a native Americanwas born in this e01112.tryhas ne other country. If Ise desires to emigrate he has a right to do so; but it must depend op-, on his owo volition. (Applause.) , I further ogres that tbe time witl come when every COS in this country vita have the right of suffrage; that stifrage should Dot depenti upon color; that there ie co sof5cient cause which should make a distioctiou on accouat of color. I be lieve that in the process of time every tnan, whatsoever his eolor or nationality, whether in- Indiana or South Ciaoline, wiil eorn to enjoy equal political right& Great epplectsci - nulled to vote carries leith it 'the e:ohres? hf)!I Yoa cer.nA. toot a negro Las a moral and natural right to vote, but must vote -,only for white men. The right to vote carries with it the right to In voted for; and when that eight is concedsd yon ea make no distinction against the right to hold office , The right to vote in a titate carriee with it the right to vote for Presi dents sod Members of Congress; and the right of suffrage, if smieured te the negroes of South Caroline and otLer late rebel Suttee, while it allows them to vote for State officers, carries with it, also, the privilege of voting Lir Presi dent and members of Congrest la regard to the question of admitting freedmen of the South to vote, while admit the equal rights of all teen, and that in lign all men will have the right, to vote without distinction of color or race, I yet believe that in the case of the four millions of slaves just emerged trotn bondage, there should be a tem of probat'on exacted of them before conceding to them the exercise of politicisl power.- Let al consider for a moment. Whether these four millions were white or black, color woold make be &Greece.. Consider the condition of these people in the Soothers Statec You canoes judge of the tondition of the freedoseiso-th tiegroes upon the planationso-by hoe ini the schools at 1111ton 'lead, Norfolk and other places, where entboaiatitio testifiers are instructing them to reed and write. have no doebt piny of them make rapid pro. geese, end have the capaeity to learn anything But it is wily one in a thousand who live upon the plantations that can be expected to equal those who live in the towns, who have been servants ot intelligent gentlemen. You must consider what is the coudition of the whole maim Not one in a thousand can read; perhaps not rice in a thousand is worth five dollars in property. Tbey are jest coming out of bondage. All they have is their bodiee. Their little shanties are opon the plentatione of, their former maeters, tuoit of them depending for subsisteuce upon employment revolved front them, or in Dome way less bottomhi& Miley of them, until within a few month' were never off the plantations on whic.h they were born; most of them certainly not sent of the county, unless driven away by the slave-driver Coo you conceive of a liody of men. whim or black, thus situated, seddeoly iquali5ed LO stop into the exercise of political power, Dot col to govern themselvee, but to govern their neighbors, A mere statement of the facts furnishes the answer to the question. To say that such menend it Is no fault of theirs, it is simply their misfortune and the crime of this ostioo---to lay that SUCII 1171313D, just immersing 11002 this slavery, are qualified tor the exercise of this power, would be to make the strongest pro' slavery arguments out of our complain spinet the South. What hes berm our practine tor mosey years? We have deocribed slivery as degrading body and foul; as bringing human beings dorm to the level of beasti; as a crime; as depriving them of intellect and morals Bat if we now turn around and say Ow this institution has been a school that hee qualified them for the right of suffrage, we will stultify oureelves and give the he to acute declaratious upon which we have obtained political power. -

tat me inqeire in what condition is ludians to urge oegro suffrage in South Ciao lints or other Southern States? We bees perhsps twenty or twentt-five thousand colored peokle in this State. The moot of them csn reed and write; many of them ere very intelligent, excellent citizen., well to do io the world, istd will qualified to exercise the right of suffrage. But bow steeds the matter? We not only exclude them from votiog, exclude them front giving testimony its courts of justice, exclude them from school, but we make it abliawfol, a crigne, fcr them to come into the State at any time eubsequeut to 1850 No negro litho has come into the State since 18,30 can make a valid coatract according to oor laws. Ile cassos,aequire title to lend, and if a M 119 gives him employment he is liable ;to prosecution and fine. I 'sent out, the Indiana, a colored regiment, recruited with difficulty and expense, and that has beeo in the field 1210te than two years, has fought well, sod ' we gut-credit co our vats for every titan; yeti, according 1 to our tonstitotion Red the laws of In- I diens, half the men in that regiment have .no right to come, back into the State! If they should do so, every man who should receive them and give them employment would be subject to prosecation and fine. - Now, with Indiana in this condition, I sek with what face can she go to Congress and ineist on the right of suffrage beteg given to negroes in other States? They will ask: What have you done for these people in your State? : They have been with you many years; you have bad abundant Japportanities of sayiog whether they should have their rights. Their condition is superior to the condition 'of these freedmen of the South. What have you done? :You have done nothing. Wt'aff would be the- moral strength of any podtician from Indiana presenting that question in Congress? It rosy be said that there are only a few colored men in Indiana, and they would not have much inSuence if they were snowed to-wete. But when you refuse to one, you in principle refuse to These Northern States Can never exert any moral forest on that eubject until they do justice to their own colored people in this respect. i now propose to mese to - the cortaideratioo of the demand for negro suffrage. I will cons der the plan pmented by the Hon. Charles Sumner, of Massechu: sett& I will first read from a speech be recently made at a- convention in Boaton. I refer to his speech became. I regard him as the most able representative of that class of politicians who are opposed to the policy of the President of the gaited States ma this subjeet.

For a while the freedcnen will take the place 3t the mester.thes verifying the saying that the last shall be the first and the first s'util be the lift.

And again: "All these guerantees should be completed arid crowned by an amendment to the Constitution of Mr Voited States, especially providing that hereafter there shall be o denial of the elective franchise, or soy exclus'oe or soy hied, on account of color or race; bet all persona shall be dren4 before the Lew. At this moment, under a just faterpreustion of the Constitution, three tourthiof the States' actually co-operat iog in the 1k7atioual Governmeut are sulfic'ent for this change. The words of Our Coustitution are that amendments shall be valid to all Intents end purport's 'when ratified by three-fourths cf the Legislatures of the several States.; or according to the practical geese, by three-Leath of the State, that have Legisletnres 'If a Suðe bet no Legislature ir cannot be counted In determiniug the georum of either House of Cutsgross, weer precisely the saute gaestion occur& Any other inierpretatiourecogroxvs the rebellion, and plays into its Wide by corlðeding qv), se, threogh rebellioue cot trivarce, to prevent an saieetluiect to the Cnustitution, essential to the general welfare.

la other word, Hr. Semner's propo 4, that all pereon who have been concerned in thie rebellion shell be exchided from the rieit of suffrage, from ill political power, for an indefinite time, and that the negro, of the rebel States shall be enfranchised, full political, power couterred-, upon them- - Let us consider what ia to lie the effect of the adoption of this policy. If you exclude from the right of suffrage every man who has been concerned ire the re bellios, you will perhaps omit, TODZIONI see and Lon Wane. You will exciude twenty out of twenty one white tutu In some it would he a greiter proportion. This would give yoe only-one white vote out of every twenty one persons If you enfranchise ' ell the negroes in throe States, you will blawo at letiat tweety fie. gm 'fur' .1e to eine, white vote Irt the work of reconstruction; and in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama end Florid you will he's a. larger proportion, pertepri,'Iliirry colored votes to one white pm Now'what is to be Oil effect of that? The first effect will that rat will have c?lored State novereors. ruder ouch condition Cif tbiege the negro would no more vote for white a:lecithin you being white, would vote fur blecek men. Human estate is the same, whrthnr under white or black skins. And there woold be notkieg that wOuld confer greater pleasure upon men of that race, who have heretofore been trodden down, thee the elevatiOrt- tif a men of his own color, As sure as we are thpy would wort upon us that which w steadily practicei epos them. 1r you rival them votes, they Grill elect men of their own color, and we have no right to blame them. I when have the negroe4 of the West Jodie Islands ever elected a white men to oMee? .e Under Mr. Suosner's plan . yo will give the negroes au overwhelmint majority in every one of due States, and that they will exercise that power by electing men cf their own color is abedlately certain. You may say it is all right if they have men qualified to fill those ace. There are 00001 educated colored men is the country to fill every offoe, sod no doubt would do so. flere la Indiana we deny them almost every right but that of permoual hberty; and it is so in Illicoie and eloterbere. When you present to these people the prospect of holding tbe blgbest offices in the gdt of the people they will embrace it. They will kotrie members of the State Legislature, Member& ot Coegness, Judges of the Courts, and so on. I SupDoge they lead colored Senators and It?presentatives to Witehington. You would find many in tbe North whowould willingly sit beside them and not feel disgraced. 0 But tow, would it le la slums States where they bad eolored Governosa, judges of the Courts, kn. Z If ever , such a etate of things happens there will be no longer any white emigration to such States.. You cannot find the most , ardent anti-slavery man who would voluntarily locate in a Stet." all of wit ' highest oEcers were colored. It-would stop emigration, not oull frern tbe Norther State, but from Europe. Titus 1 they would rentaia permanently colored governmeots, and white roes would remove from them. Very well, say some,that is all right, if You can get them aI together in a few States and keep them there. But is .this desirable? I say it is not, for many reasons, one of which is that each States would verv theiy soon hold a balance of power.' Theywould be held and bound together by such ties as bind all men togetherthe tie of color, the tie of race, and the infl,lence of tawine suffered the same oppression. As 300,000 slave-holders- were able to govern this nation for a lonz time, s,a two,. 000 of colored people, feeling themselves under the ban of the civilized world, would-vote and act together, and their united vote, when parties in the North were pretty etristly divided. would nonstitute a balance of power, that might, control and govern this nation. .,,,,I, eubtrit., then, towevegelearly we may admit tbe rigtis or the negro--and none cart do so more fully than I do--whether colored State governments are desirable, and whether they would not
