General Winfield Scott. The telegraph announces the death of General Winfield Scott, who died at West Point yesterday morning at five minutes past eleven o’clock. This is all the announcement we have of the death of General Scott, and mutt await for particulars of the last hours of the old hero, who at the ripe age of eighty has been gathered to his lathers, full of years, of honors and of good deeds. General Scott was born in Petersburg, Virginia, of parentage of Scotch descent, Juno 13, 1786, and would have completed, had he lived, his eightieth birthday on the 13th proximo. He was left an orphan in his boyhood, was educated at William and Mary’s College of his native State, and studied law. In 1808 he was made a captain of light artillery, in the division commanded by General Wilkinson, and stationed at Baton Rowe, Louisiana. Owing to some remarks made by Captain Scott concerning Wilkinson’s complicity in the Burr conspiracy, lie was suspended from duty on the score of disrespect toward his superior officer, which compelled him to return to his native State and again commence the practice of his profession. In July, 1812, he was advanced to the rank oi Lieutenant Colonel, and ordered to the Canada frontier. Ho there engaged in the battle of Queenstown Heights, and its termination is partly duo to the promptness of Colonel Scott. Shortly after the capture of York, Upper Canada, where fell the gallant General Pike, Scott joined the army under General Dearborn, as his adjutant general, with the rank of colonel. In the attack of our troops upon Fort George, May 27,1813, ho rommanded the advance in surf boats. It was in this engagement that Scott received his first wound, being struck by a piece of timber from an exploded magazine. He pulled down with his own hands the British colors and raised tlio American flag over the captured fort. In the spring of 1814, Scott was made a Brigadier General, and established a camp of instruction at Buffalo. On July 3d, 1814, Scott’s and Hindman’s brigade crossed the Niagara river and took Fort Eric, and part of its garrison, and next day advanced upon Chippewa, skirmishing the entire distance to the position held by the British General, and on tho 5th he fought the battle of Chippewa, which resulted in the defeat and repulse of the enemy beyond the river of that name. Twenty days after the battle of Chippewa was fought that of Lundy's Lane, or Bridgewater, in the immediate vicinity of Niagara Falls, in which Scott had two horses killed under him, and was twice severely wounded. These battles gave General Scott a very great reputation as a military man, and from Lundy’s Lane dates that long and glorious career that has, with singular happiness followed him through all his life. After the last named battle, peace was declared between the United States and Great Britain. Scott, on the termination of hostilities, was offered, but declined, a scat in President Madison’s cabinet, as Secretary of War, and was made a 3Iajor General. After the reduction of the army he visited Europe In a military and diplomatic capacity. During the time of peace, General Scott published his “General Regulations for the Army,” then the “ Infantry Tactics”—taken from the

French.

The first event of much public importance in the career of General Scott between the war ot 1812 and 1846-8, was the hostilities of 1832 against the Sacs and Foxes, which was terminated by the battle of Bad-Ax. The head chief Black Hawk was at that time made prisoner, and Scott, owing to the cholera among his troops, did not reach the scene of active operations. In the same year occurred the nullification difficulties in South Carolina. Great prudence, much discretion, tact, selfrestraint, and delicacy, were called for on the part of the chief military man commanding at that time the forces of the general government. The qualities actually required by the occasion were conspicuously displayed in Winfield Scott. In 1835 the war with the Seminole Indians in Florida began, which lingered until 1842, and was finally terminated by sufisidizing the chief and influential men, and continuing a portion of the Indians in the country. The Canadian rebellion—known as the “ patriot war,” broke out in 1837, which General Scott finally suppressed, so far as the Border States were concerned, in the violation of treaties and compacts. The dispute between Maine and New Brunswick on the boundary question arose in 1838, which was amicably adlustcd by General Sir John Hawley, Governor General of New Brunswick, and General Scorr, and communications were again re-opened between the Provinces and the States, after the Webster-Ashburton treaty. After the death of General Macomb in 1841, General Scott was appointed Com-mander-in-Chief of the army of the United States. The annexation of Texas in 1845 having resulted in the Mexican war, on May 8 and 9, 1840, the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca do la Palma, and the battle of Monterey followed in September, and afterwards Buena Vista, won in February following, were fought under General Taylor. General Scott was assigned to the chief command in Mexico, and took personal direction of the United States forces in that country. The career of General SCOTT in Mexico, is too well and generally known to need any extended or recapitulated notice at our bands. He came out of the war with a military reputation second to no chieftain in the world. Certainly since the great campaigns of the First Counsel up to our late war, there is no parallel in military annals of the success achieved by the American army in Mexico under the direction of Scott. In June, 1852, General SC'/rr was nominat< d at Baltimore on th'- hig ticket for President, and was defeated by General PiERCE at the November election, receiving 1,386,580 votes. In 1855 the brevet rank of lieutenant general was revived in order that it might be conferred upon Genci.il Scott, and was expressly so framed that it should not survive 1dm. Almost the last public act of General SCOTT, previous to the rebellion, was the adjustment of the difficulties arising out of the boundary question, and a disputed military pi»ses»ion. General Scott was ordered to tin: locality, where he happily established a satisfactory state of affairs and settled the difficulty. On November 1, 1861, the- lieutenant general retired from active service, retaining^, by a special provision in the act of Congress, passed at its extra session in the summer of 1861, full pay and allowances, and on November 9, of tho same year, sailed from New York for Europe, hoping there to recover his health. He returned soon after and has gradually yielded up his nature to the ravages of timo and disease, until yesterday morning when, through with the labors of earth, God called the old hero home to' enjoy his reward In a world without end. with one exception General Scott is the last of those men who, by their character, their talents, and their energy have made the American character illustrious, and the American name a power throughout all the world. One by one they have been gathered to thdr Father •mid the lamentations of their own people and

the sorrowful condolence of kindred nations. Gradually the golden cord Is being loosed, and the piteter broken at the fountain, and, at any moment, we may expect to hear of the death of the last of these noble men and contemporaries who have gone before General Cass. The' hero of Lundy’s Lane will be lowered into his tomb amid all the pageantry ot military and civic pomp. All that the gratitude of a nation can do will he done, and universal mourning will be put on throughout the domain of the country that had the rare felicity of giving him birth, and who, in after years, contributed so largely to the importance and character of the Government which he was proud to call his own. Manes in pace. The Republican Tinkers Heating np their Irons and Rrlnging out their old Rubbish to Commence Work Again. Thad. Stevens, in the House, as was seen by our dispatches of yesterday, has shifted from the mode of constitutional amendment to that of congressional legislation as a mode of keeping the South out of the Union; or, perhaps, he designs to operate both modes together. Thad. proposes to compel, by act of Congress, the Southern States, to construct new 1st ate governments, with negro suffrage, which governments shall re-naturalize the people, whom he assumes to be now foreigners; this, he proposes as tho mode of their returning to the Union. Its effect, if adopted, would be to prolong disunion for many years, so many, indeed, that it would, doubtless, be perpetual. Its great object, like all his others, is to compel tin South to adopt uegro equality or stay out of the Union. This is a part of the Republican party programme to keep the South out till after the next Presidential election. It can not succeed. Johnson won’t let it. Ho is for the immediate admission of Southern Representatives, regarding the States as now in the Union. He is for receiving the electoral votes of those States at the next Presidential election; and they will be received, or there will then he a new civil war. The crisis will come at the next Presidential election, unless the Democracy shall elect a Congress, next tall, that will admit Southern Representatives and thus restore the Union in advance of the Presidential election. It will he well for the peace of the country if it shall so happen. If we get a Union House of Representatives, the Southern members of tho House will be admitted, as each House legally acts independently in the matter; and when the members of the House are admitted the Senate will not dare hold out for disunion by longer excluding Senators. The next congressional election is of incalculable consequence. On it may hang the peace, the salvation of the Union. Let the people ponder this consideration well. In this connection, we quote for the information of our gallant soldiers in this State, the following from General McClernaxd, of Illi-

nois:

“Glancing at the President’s reconstruction policy, what remains to he said of it? lie has officially and formally announced the termination of the jehellion, and the fact that each and all of the States are equally entitled to exercise and enjoy the same relations to the General Government. “What should the disfranchised States do? As an humble individual, revering the Constitution and respecting the rights of all, I say let those States elect their Senators and Representatives, repair to Washington, and take their entitled seats in those bodies, peaceably if they can, forcibly if they must, and let the consequences take care of themselves.” . In the Senate, Stewart lias introduced new disunion proposition. It looks to the same object as Stevens’ bill; it presents, like that, the alternative of negro equality or perpetual disunion. It runs right against the policy of Johnson, which is to admit the Southern Representatives and restore the Union at once, and then attend to the tinkering business afterwards. The Republican policy is, on the other hand to force negro equality or perpetual disunion. In accordance with this policy, Massachusetts is hastening to regulate her action. We quote from the Boston Commonwealth of the 26th

instant:

“COLORED MEN ON TUE JURY.

“ This is now getting to he so common in Massachusetts that little comment follows the announcement of the fact. Thus one prejudice after another disappears. In u recent murder case before the Supreme Court, Mr. John B. Bailey was drawn. The prisoner was an Irish rumseller, John Gallagher, who in an altercation shot a caller at his saloon. The prisoner, who might he supposed to have some prejudice against the juror, on being called ‘ to look upon ’ 31r. Bailey, accepted him at once without any hesitation. On the panel was also Mr. Wyzeman Marshall, the well known and successful theatrical manager, who, in deference to the prejudice of the community alone, we must believe, never would allow a colored man iu any other place in his theaters except the gallery. We find that he was content to sit as the equal of 31r. Bailey on the jury—a sort of ‘ poetic justice,’some will say, in view of his former exclusiveness; hut we doubt not 31r. 31. was glad of the occasion to show that where the law had no prejudices, he, too, was w lioll without bias. Nor did the large hearten George A- Meyer, (of the leading drug house of Linder & Meyer,) residing on Beacon street,

■nial William H. Harding, (of Hard-

uor the genial William H. Harding, (of Hard ing, Converse, Gray & Co., wholesale dr> goods men,) residing on Chester square, feel themselves degraded by being in the same panel. We commend the case to Congress ami

the South. ‘ The world moves.’”

Indianapolin»Oar New Railroads Indianapolis gives sixty-five thousand and Vincennes forty thousand dollars to the Vincennes road, a thousand dollars a mile for the whole distance. Indianapolis gives forty-five thousand dollars to the Illinois Central, being a thousand dollars a mile for more than two thirds of the line to Rockville; and the same amount, per mile to the Danville line almost to Crawfordsville. With the other donations to these roads, added to those made by this city, surely an inducement can be offered sufficient to obtain contractors to complete them. We take it, therefore, that property owners, operators, mechanics, manufacturers, and those abroad looking to this city, with a view to residence, may proceed upon the certain fact of three additional railroads, which, when completed, will make this the greatest inland railroad city in the United States, causing it to become, also, the most populous and wealthy. Let all, now, go ahead. Build, erect factories, all will help the roads, when built, by inrereasing their business.

Internal Revenue. We learn that there is a large falling off in the report of incomes made this year, which, of course, will reduce the amount of revenue, The falling market of the year has left the merchants without profits. The persecutions of tho Republicans have, in many places, not here so much where political fear restrains, swept away the profits of the saloons so that they have little or nothing to report, and so on. The people may look for an increase of taxation in a year or two; for continued high prices; for continuing in a just living condition, with hard work to do that, etc. It has paid well for the abolition Republicans to make bonfires of the Constitution, declare it should not be obeyed by the North; to steal negroes; to invade the South under John Brown and fire on the national flag; to exclude tho South from her rights In the territories; to organize the Sons of Liberty under Chase, and make armed resistance to the Government; to refuse to give the South guarantees, hut instead thereof, to shout blood, BLOOD, give us the blood of the Southern people to slake our thirst! This Republican party has paid, take it altogether!

in New York harbor, arms were purchased and sent out for the use of the Imerial Government. The parties concerned in the affair are well known in the United States. The arms were shipped for Havana, but earned to Vera Cruz; and this was done under the American flag, and with the evident knowledge of the officers of the steamer. On the arms being landed they were inspected by officers appointed for such duty, and rejected. The fact that the arms were rejected does not lessen the bad character of the act.

^ Sandal' • “ The citizens of Brooklyn have petitioned the. city council to prohibit the running of stroet cars on Sunday.” That is consistent. When you close out the recreatlhns iff one class of community, by law, you must close out all. Of course,’the attack upon the Germans is only the beginning; and it becomes necessary, therefore, to look into this Sunday question, on principle, and to ascertain where the right and justice of it lie. If the stopping of all amusements on. Sunday, by law, is right and proper, in itself, why, it ought to be done; it ought to be done here, in Indiana, and in Indianapolis. Our rulers ought not shrink, in cowardly, political fear, from doing, by law, what they ought to do, by law, on principles of right and justice. Should, then, the observance of Sunday be enforced by law? If so, why? We ask any one, and every one; we ask the clergy to give the reason. If the observance of Sunday ought to be enforced by law, there is some reason for it; that reason can he given, if it

exists.

There is no necessity for enforcing it to secure the physical comfort of a free people; there might he where the people were slaves, under masters; because they might force them to toil when they did not wish to; but freemen don’t work any day without they arc a mind to, and they are the best judges of whether they are in a physical condition to work on any given Sunday or not. In Asia, men have always worked on Sunday without experiencing any special physical inconvenience on account of it. If it is not a sin to take recreation on Sunday, it is of course, not necessary for the prevention of sin, to prohibit such recreation by law. We have not been able to satisfy ourself on this point, We take it, that the special Jewish dispensation and laws touching Saturday, do not govern or apply to our Christian Sunday; this was repudiated by Christ himself; and the practice of the entire church, for more than sixteen hundred years after Christ, repudiates it. The Christians never required abstinence from recreation on Sunday. It was more of a holiday than otherwise, among all Christians to the seventeenth century, and is among most of them yet.. It was the Puritans, not Christians who first taught the blue stocking, Connecticut blue law mode of keeping Sunday. It is not a Christian but a puritan doctrine. It is held only by the Puritans, it is not held by the Christians all over the world to-day. This Is history; English history. Now, then, let us say right here, that if it is not required by the Gospel, to abstain from recreation on Sunday; if such recreation is not sin; it is unwise for the Church to insist on abstinence from such recreation as matter of discipline, of religious duty, to be enforced by ecclesiastical law, let alone calling in tho aid of secular power to inflict pains and penalties for its enforcement, because it tends to make the yoke of religion repulsive; it eanses the discipline and government of the church to appear tyrannical; and, we say to onr Christian friends, as one of them in belief, tf not in practice, that tyranny in Church—the exacting of more than is just, operates exactly as it docs in State; it creates dissatisfaction, and finally dissention, revolt and revolution. We are willing to stand by a Christian but not a puritan observance of Sunday, as a religious duty. But, even if it is a sin to take recreation on Sunday, what right has the civil power to assume to punish sin, simply? Is that consistent with our constitutions, or tho equal rights of all to their several opinions about what is and what is not sin ? For our part wc should doubt the capacity of our present State and city rulers t*fcrm very accurate opinions on the subject of sins, and the proper punishment thereof. This Sunday question is to be come one of importance, and this fact is our excuse for calling attention to it. We wish to discover the right side of it, and that we shall take, regardless of consequence.

Soon after the death of the celebrated Rachel, (says the Pall Mall Gazette) her sister, Sarah Felix, abandoned the stage, and betook herself to oyster breeding on the shores of Mount St. Michael’s Bay, iu Lower Normondy, where for some years past she has successfully directed an extensive /-ore aux huitres.. But the oyster pest by which the Cancale district has been attacked has depopulated her beds, and she is now forced to make fresh exertions in order to obtain a livelihood. So she has obtained from the Prefect of La Manche the concession of a fresh bed known as Le Bane ties Pendus, near Regnevifle; on Which she propose* to acclimatize the American oyster, a delicacy hitherto unknown to European gastronomy.

future.

Another vear has rolled around, and the Democratic’party is called again into council. As you see, it has come with its strength unUiininishcd—its zeal unaoated—its fidelity to its principles unshaken—with its organization as perfect and its numbers still greater than ever before. It is the party whose origin is coeval with that of the Government—the same party which Jefferson founded, and iladison organized and strengthened, and which, by its self denying and just administration of the limited powers granted to the Federal Government has, (Juring the largest portion of our history, secured an unparalled measure of order and peace and prosperity and liberty.. I love the Democratic party. L admire its organization and discipline. I honor the name and fame of its founders. 1 revere its principles, so broad in their application and so beneficent in their influence, that in all this land— dissevered as these States now are—there is not a State, nor county, nor township, nor town, nor family, nor bouse—from the Lakes to the the Gulf—from the Atlautic to the Pacific—in which it has not a representative and a member. I revere the wisdom which could mark with such unerring accuracy tho true limits of the powers granted and the powers reserved, and could in practice with such fidelity establish them; wnich’could make from the discord of States then contentious the harmonies of a confederation, whose powers were

which they now enjoy, and to make it theduty of the President in every ease to substitute the short, sharp process of a court martial where there is no indictment, no jury, and where counsel and witnesses for the defense are tolerated only^by the grace and favor of the court. Can any man believe this law was Intended to be of service to the negro, or to ameliorate Ins condition, or to protect him from injurious discrimination, or to accustom him to the equal rights of citizens? No, sir. It was intended to invade the domain of the States in the punishment of crimes purely of State cognizance. It was intended wrongfully to break clown State laws, and to substitute‘for them Federal laws, and thus to draw within the circle of Federal military authority every citizen of the land. “ All cases relating to such persons!” These words embrace all persons of every age and sex who may come in contact, howver remotely, with any negro man, woman or child, in any of the relations or conditions, or attairs of life. And this hill brings them all to the feet of the military authority as executed by the most ignorant and degraded fellow who can he hired as a servant of the bureau for $500 a year. I cite this hill only as an illustration. By the grace of God and. Andrew Johnson's veto, it did not become a law. No thanks to the radicals for that blessing. Examine the proposition to change the basis of representation. The Constitution provided that population should he entitled to representation ami that each community must decide for itself where the political power should reside. This rule was proper—was the only consistent rule where States are recognized a's self-governing and self-existing. The determination who shall wield the power of the

Union of the Churche*. Church unions should not stop at the reunion of the Old and New School Presbyterians, nor will it. History successively repeats itself. All men naturally believe in a supreme power, which wc call Got>. Objects are all the time visible to man which be did not produce. He naturally concludes seme superior, unseen power did produce them. All men find themselves helpless, the subjects, and apparently the spDrt of some unseen controlling power. All men naturally stand in awe of that power, seek to mitigate its wrath and conciliate its favor. Hence, all men have naturally worshipped that power, have sacrificed to it, built temples and instituted ceremonies in its honor. Itdijrioii i* natural to mac, and, ill its esM-nse, ^ homage to superior power) is alike in all men; forms of worship are various. In early times each nation had Us own, and denounced as pagan, idolatrous and heretical the forms of all other nations. But, familiar intercourse at length taught the peoples of different nations that, under different forms, they all worshipped the same Gon. Hence, they became tolerant, and, finally, when Rome had conquered and brought together all the peoples of the world in common society, under one government, they discovered that they all, in essential religion, were one, and only diflered in modes of worship. All looked, through different images; up to the same great first cause, and overruling power. Hence, with due appreciation of the true spirit of religion, and of the comparative non-essentiality of forms, they brought all their images, their forms of worship together, in the just spirit of religious toleration, and ; laced them in a common temple at Rome, the then capital of the world, called the Pantheon. So, as the Christian religion becomes universal, its disciples, worshipping the same God, but in different forms, will, in the spirit of toleration, naturally begotten by free social intercourse, lay aside non-essentials, and enter a common Christian Pantheon. The editor of the Cincinnati Times in the true spirit of the philanthropist Howard, has been visiting the abodes ot the poor and wretched in that city, and he reports a case which aptly illustrates our subject, and we quote it: “ At No. 95, Avery street, is a two-story frame structure, occupied by lour or five different negro families, and while we found the apartments poorly and scantily furnished, there was an air of neatness and cleanliness predominating that the rooms were almost inviting. Passing through a side gateway we found oilrself in the yard where were some »weral children of almost all ages, sizes and colors, that is such colors as would naturally result from miscegenation or amalgamation ot the white and black, or the black and creole, or the mulatto and Spaniard. Up stairs we found a negro woman who had been a slave in Tennessee, She was sitting in a rocking chair and held in her hand a spelling hook while the Bible was open in her lap. “How do you do, Aunty?” p exclaimed. “ Use only tol’able, sab. Take u char.” “ Learning to read, Aunty?” “ Pse a tryin’ mity hard.” “ How do you get along?” “ Tol’ahle, sah. I kin read the Scriptours all frue.” “ Don’t you find the old Bible pretty hard to understand ?” Why, bress yah soal, deah, dat ar’ book am de easiest ting to understand of ’em all.” “ Do you believe the Bibio, Aunty?” (With a horrified look)—“ De. Lor save yah (With vehemence)—Believe that ari hook! I’se born in dat ar’ hook; 1’se lived in dat ar’ hook; and de good God willin’. I’ll die in dat ari hook!—shoo! shoo!! shoo!!!” “ What church do you belong to?” “ I’se ’tached to de Baptis’ now, dough I war raised among de 3Iefodists, but I’ll get to heaven, shoo, on eider track—don’t make no difference.” “ How do you like the change, Aunty, from slavery to freedom ? ” “ I likes it, ’cause its right. At fust it was rather bard, ’cause I wan’t used to de elimate, •but I’se gotten over dat, and I enjoys my freedom, shoo!” , A Queer Case ot Reconstruction. Mrs. Anna Cora Ritchie writes from London on the 6th of May: “The faded beauties who cling to their vanished charms have taken great interest in the sudden rejuvenation of Miss Burdett Coutts, under the hands of the wonderful ‘ Restorer,’ 3fadame Rachel. Miss Coutts, it is smd, had to pay £400 before she commenced the baths with which the rejuvenation begins. After going through the regular coarse of treatment. Miss Coutts dawned upon the fashionable world with the ‘ layers of some twenty birthdays’ rolled off from her person.

the political status of its citizens. And I believe it is only by adhering more closely to the teachings of its precepts and example that we may have the least hope of preserving our Government from the perils of consolidated despotism on the one hand, or of lawless anarchy on the other. The party is the same; Its principles and convictions are the same; they will continue as long as tho Government shall endure, hut each day and year produce their questions to be answered, their problems to be solved—and thus, while parties and principles remain, policies change. The duty of the hour is to meet the questions of the hour, and to modify the application of principles, as the

exigency of the times may require.

The question of M-day is Union or Disunion—the old Constitution or a new Constitution—the old Government as our Fathers gave it to us, or revolution and change, and a new system. The Constitution is in danger. The L'nion is broken, not by the collision of arms, but by the political action of parties. Its enemies are in the high places of power— they sit in the seats of the Capitol—they have their grasp upon its throat—they throttle it to the agonies of dissolution. The President confronts them—and the question presented today to the Democratic party and the pehple of Ohio is simply this, whether they will support the President in his effort to maintain or the Congress in its effort to overthorw the Government? The Constitution grants certain powers to the Federal Government. It reserves all other powers to the States, and guarantees certain rights to the people. The same powers were granted alike by all the States. The same powers were reserved alike to all the States. The same righU were guaranteed to the people of all the States. The States are equate They were equal before the Constitution was adopted. They continued to he equal by the terms of the Constitution Itself. They must remain eqnal as long as the Constitution shall he maintained, and the Federal Union created by it shall endure. Mr. Seward iu his speech at Auburn, day before vesterday recognizes this fundamental truth. And in my judgment those powers and those rights belong to-day as well to the States, and the people of Georgia and 31is»issippi as to the States and

the people of Ohio or Pennsylvania.

Whv should it not he so? The Constitution provides that •• this Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof shall he tho supreme law, anything in the Constitution and laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” This is the measure of the lawful authority of the Federal Government. This is the limit of its lawful demand upon the States. When this is conceded, the measure is full to overflowing—when this is conceded, the States have fulfilled their Federal duty— they have discharged their Federal obligation— no more can be exacted from them, and they are entitled to the unobstructed enjoyment of all the power reserved and the rights guaran-

teed by the Federal Constitution.

Is not Federal authority as promptly obeyed to-dav—is it not as unimpeded to-day in Georgia as in Ohio? There is not an armed enemy in the Confederate States. There is not a show of opposition to Federal authority even as great “ as the shadow when it dechneth,’’ and yet for months, the equality of the States has been violated and tho people of those States have been denied the first great right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution—tho right which is essential to free government—that right without which all government is a lawless usurpation, which it is always a right and frequently a duty to resist with all the means which God and nature have put into our hands—1 mean the right of representstion. We have a wonderful spectacle presented to us. Scarcely a year has elapsed since Lee surrendered—yet the Confederate Government has entirely disappeared and the Federal Gov'ernment has taken its place. In the States, old constitutions have been abolished.

Two centuries longer it stood unscathed— hut it exists no mere. It bowed its head to the storm during our terrible civil war; and the hiding place of the charter was exposes to the gaze of its enemies. We have an ark of safety for ous Constitution more effective than this oak. It is the ballot-box. It invites us to use it We need not approach It iu darkness, as the men of Connecticut were compelled to •do—but in the bright sunlight, under the canopy of full day, we ought in solid columns and with measured tread, as performing a sacred duty, to approach its open portals. If wc do so rightfully, we shall hear from its inmost recesses, echoed in thunder tones, the still small voice of the silent vote, even as of old, from oft' the Mercy Seat itself the .Israelite heard the voice of God.

This proposed amendment provides that the basis of representation shall be population, but that whenever the negro is excluded from voting, his race shall be excluded from the basis; and the number of Representatives shall be accordingly diminished, That is to say; The power to determine who shall be ehetors belongs undoubtedly to the Stale?, They may exercise it as they see fit. They may exclude 'or they may admit to suffrage as they think right. They may exclude the young, thebld, the poor, the unlearned, the women—they may exclude every soldier who has entered the army, if they please—and, if the parties so excluded only he white, they may still be counted in the basis of representation, an<J others ipay elect for them. But if the States shall presume to exclude a negro from the ballot, neither he nor his family, nor any of his race shall be counted in making up the basis of representation. Amazing love for

the negro!

But this proposition presents another alternative to the States. By counting negroes in the basis of representation, the Southern States have sixteen members of Congress more than they atherwisc would. II they will consent to give up these sixteen members and the political power they wield, then they may exclude the negro from the ballot-box for all time, and

are quite welcome to do so.

Do I wroag these radtecals in Congress? They will not admit the Southern States to their constitutional equality, and recognize their right of representation, because negroes are excluded from the ballot box. Their out•poken leaders boldlv say so. And yet within two weeks, by very large majorities! they have passed a bill to admit Colorado to the l'nion, whose people have declared in tho m<**t authentic and offensive form that, in their new State.none but white men shall \ ote. Do you remember the statement of Thaddeus Stevens, that If the South should he permitted to vote, t! Democratic party would again come into 1 .vor? And do you know the fact that the Senators from Colorado are radicals, whose votes in the Senate it would l>e convenient to

havs in case of another veto?

Do ton believe that protection of the negro was the true purpose of the amendment? No, sir. It was to cross the boundary of State authority, and to lay violent hands, by Federal power, on the most sacred of all Unguaranteed rights of the States. This amendment passed the sitting section of the House of Kepresontatlves, and now awaits the action of the Scnhte. Consider the Civil Rights hill. It declares that all native l>orn persons of whatever race, color or condition, are citizens of the United States, and that all citizens shall enjoy equally all civil rights, and that all citizens shall he protected alike, and he punished with the same measure of penalty. What does this mean? Suppose a State'law prescribes a less penalty in the case of a negro than of a white man convicted of crime against State law? Has Congress authority to say he shall he punished more severely? If Congress may abrogate the clause of the State law relating to th<- negro, and substitute for it a Federal law. it may abrogate also the clause relating to the white man. If it may subject the negro to the punishment prescribed for the white man, it may also subject the white man to the punishment prescribed for the negro; or it may prescribe for both an entirely different punishment, or remit punishment altogether, and so est d.lish within the State a criminal code to the i xclusion of State legislation altogether: ""l if this is so, what a work of supererogation >\as it in the Constitution to insert a sj>ecial provision confiding to Congress the power “ to define and punish piracies ami felonies on the high seas.” And yet thus to overwhelm the powers of the State was this law, avowedly to protect the negro in civil rights, chiefly gotten up

and urged.

On the 13th of January last, an order was issued from the War Department to the military in the Southern States, to protect.from prosecution or suit in any State court, all

ones set up—old officers have been « xpelled and others selected. The States are excrei*-

ant in orders, and to iir-tn-t all loyal citizens

ing all tile Junctions of government necessary lor act-, done again-t ivl.,1 torecs. and all perto'th,. preservation of civil society. Tin y pic- | sons, iheir agents or employes, charged with

order, punish crimes, protect lil'e and proi>erty. 'i’noy regulate the relation of hus-

band and w ife, parent and child, creditor and debtor. They eolleet debts, enforce contracts, regulate descents, establish corporations, charter cities, control public education. And wiio has said they were not ^sufficient for these things? 3lr. Seward, in the speech from which I have quoted, says that the return of the Southern people to their Federal allegiance is without parallel iu History. Vet Congress for six months has devoted itscll to the invention of odious constitutional amendments, which were intended to deprive the States of their just powers; and to the passage of odious laws, which were intended if obeyed, to reduce the people to the most degrading submission, or if not obeyed, to produce irritation and bitterness, and threats of resistance from which it was hoped to deduce the necessity of establishing military govern-

ments and enforcing martial law.

And why is this? It is because they hate the Constitution of the United States—because they hate our system of Government. They hate its two fundamental ideas—confederation: granted and reserved powers. They admire the strength of a consolidated government and confide iu the wisdom of an overshadowing, absolute, irresponsible majority. They prefer to intrust the rights and liberties of the people, the amelioration of the condition of our race to such a majority, rather than to the progress which consists with the checks and balances of our system. I speak of men with whom I have long been associated, whom I know intimately. I recognize their intelligence and their private worth. I do not question their integrity, or the sincerity of their motives. Yet, I report, I believe they hate our system of government and desire its overthrow. What is that system? I will not detain you either with an analysis of its parts or a history of its formation. The exigency of their condition required that the international attairs and the commercial intercourse of the States should be placed under one head. They were committed to the Federal Government. All other powers and subjects were reserved to the States. The States were to regulate the civil and political rights of their citizens, and so guarded were those who made the Constitution, that while in respect to foreign affairs, they gave to the Federal Government absolute, exclusive jurisdiction, in domestic affairs they so entirely excluded it that it has uo power to try or punish an assault of one citizen of Ohio upon another, or collect a simple promissory note as between the same parties. And this is the system which Congress has determined to sub-

vert and destroy,

Let me illustrate more particularly my meaning. Take the Freedmen’s Bureau bill. A law intended to answer the same purpose was in full force; its provisions seemed ample; there was no complaint on that score from any quarter; it was to expire within a year after the close of the rebellion. If the object of this new bill were only to extend the time, a single section in two lines would have been sufficient. If in any one point enlarged powers were

1J 1 ,*,! j tin- occupancy of abandoned lands, and the possession and custody of any kind of property, who used, possessed, or controlled the the same, pursuant to the order of the 1‘resident, or of any civil or military department, and also to protect colored persons from prosecution in any State for offenses for which white persons are not punished in the same manner ami degree. That is to say, the citizen shall have no redre-s if any military officer or the President, or the head of any department shall have stripped him of his property, drhen him from his home, upon some false or trivial charge, or to gratify some jiorsonal hatred or illwill. The order is more lawless than the act could lie. The judge who would obey it, unless compelled by mere brute force, would deserve to be deprived of his office, ami to he mado a by word and scorn among all men. 1 pass over the infamy of embodying such provisions in a military order. In a law they would be intolerable. They are the lit means of subverting not only this, but any

system of free government.

And not content with striking thus directly at the States, these radicals are attacking the well settled system of the Executive authority. They find now, in time of peace, that the patronage of the President is enormous—that it may boused to thwart their schemes—that it is dangerous toliliorty. We heard nothing of this when the officers of a million of soldiers were to be appointed by 3Ir. Lincoln, and tbe conscriptiou law and the internal revenue bill clothed him with the power of filling the land with Presidential partisans. They now seek to break down and degrade the Presidential office, and to reduce 1t to a mere dependent upon the will and whim of this Congress, which has in its fanaticism and folly deirradeil itself to a mere Central Directory. And thete are the proofs which L adduce of fttiesire and a determination to overthrow our system of

Government.

I know, of course, these gentlemen will deny my conclusions. 1 understand their theories and the arguments by which they support them. I understand their thimblerig logic by which the States are in the Union in order that tltey may be governed, ami out of it that they may have no rights—under the Constitution when duties are to be exacted, and not under it when protection is to be accorded—within tbe law' when taxes are to be paid, beyond it when representation is demanded." The President of the United States confronts these gentlemen. He denies their theories. He brushes away their cobweb sophistries^ He stands consistently on the ground occupied by him and them at the beginfiing of the w ar. He denies the doctrine of State suicide. He denies that the ordinances of secession were valid in law. He denies that they were made effective by success of arms. He maintains that the States never were, and are not now out of the Union, and he is prepared to secure to them' the enjoyment of all their rights, as they are ready to perform all

their duties.

Gentlemen, let us give him, in this effort, a cordial and hearty support; let us give him a wanp, effective, magnanimous support.

The eight section provides that in all States where the jurisdiction of the civil courts has been suspended, and where, by reason of any law, custom or prejudice, the same civil rights which hare been accorded to the white man, have not been accorded to the negro, the President shall “ extend to all eases relating to persons so discriminated against, railitary jurisdiction and protection,” and the ninth section declares that the agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau shall under the direction of the War* Department take cognizance of all cases of this nature, and shall try, and if guilty, punish by fine and imprisonment, all State officers who enforce any such discriminations created by State laws—“ All eases relating to persons so discriminated against!” What does that mean?

Did you ever consider it?

no patronage to enjoy; let us verify unselfishly the claim which we made during the heat of the war, that we were devoted to the integrity of the Union anti the maintainanee of the Federal compact. Wc disagree with the President in many things—we dissent from many of his doctrines—we question the wisdom of many.of his acts; but we agree with him on this present question of restoration; and it does seem to me to be our highest duty to cooperate with all who will co-operate with him in making it effective. There is no room for hesitation or delay. The .Constitution is in peril. The Government is in peril—liberty is iu peril. He seeks to rescue them from the radicals and destruction; the blind and bigot-

ed Jacobins of our revolution.

In these days of danger to our liberties, when in its freuzy, the central power is seizing upon all the guarantees of popular rights, where shall we find a place of safety for our Constitution till this darkness be overpast, and the sunlight of reason again appears. Two centuries ago, iu a crisis of deadly peril, the true men of Connecticut, in the haze of the
