Therefore. Rewired, 1. That we reaffirm and endorse tho political principles that from time to time have been put forth by the National Conventions of the Democratic party. 2 That we are unalterably attached to the Constitution, hy which the Union of these States was formed and established : ami that a faithful observance of its principle can alone continue the existence of the Union, and the criiiaucnt happiness of the people. 3. That the present civil war ha mainly resulted from the long contirr.cd, unwise, and fa natical agitation, in the North, of the question of j dome-tic s'avery, the conei-m nt organization of! a geographical panj, umcu o me vi-uhimm ;m.u- ; forms adopted at Ihiflalo, ritt.-lurvh, l'liil adlpliia. and Chicago, and the? development thereby of , sectioi.al lute and jealousy, producing; (as had 1 long been foreseen and predicted by us) its counterpart in the South of secession, disunion, and armed resistance to the General Government, and terminating in a Moody strife between those who ..it. ,!,... ! .ellieili ITU mnuiauy mi i' .-ii'ir uiii"li uid liarmonv. 1 I. That in rejecting all prop-.-itions likely to ! result in a satisfactory adjustment of the matt dispute between the North and the South, and j and noted in total difecaid ol tho l.c-t interests i of the whole country. i That if tho party in power had sdinwn the j .l.i.t. cnlt'i. l.r fi inie:il i'e :iil i imnl mir ' internal 'dissension before hostilities hid actually j .onimencid, that the AdtnuiMriitieii i.jM recently .(

Rut nsvei yet has

any one of those philanthropic gentlemen made inquiry for the law or tho authority under which white American citizens have been kidnapped by the State Department, dragged from their homes, and left to pine and die, perchance, in some of the many astiles which the administration has established. It is well known, sir, that if any white citizen, perhaps a father or brother, desires to visit a relative or acquaintance in the military service of the government, that he is obliged to secure a 'pass' from some competent authority, and to obtain this he is required upon his honor to declare his loyaly and fidelity to the government.

In this District you have abolished slavery. You have abolished it by compen eation, by adding 1,000,000 to the national debt, and a tax of 7:5,000 to bo paid annually, as interest upon this sum, by taxes imposed upon the laboring white people of theae States. Not satisfied with doing this much for your especial favorite, you extend tho freedom of this city and j the hospitality of the government to all the runaway negroes in the country who I choose to visit the District of Columbia. Vou issue rations to them day after day. and week after wek, rations which must be paid for through the sweat and toil of tax ridden white men. You aro thuri supporting in indolcnco hundreds of black men. How many, and at what cost, I am unable to stale, because when a resolution asking for information, was introduced by tho honorable gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Cox, it was immediately tabled by tho I Republican majority upon the other side of this House. Those gentlemen dare not let this information go to the country; they shrink from the exposure which a truthful reply to such inquiry would make. The ! resolution of Mr. Cox also asked for the j number of negroes employed as teamsters in the army, anil at what wages; but this was equally objectionable, for it would have illustrated the fact that negroes by the hundred aro receiving bettfr pay as ! drivers than our own white sons and broth- , ers nr0 ceiving lor periling their lives as 1 . 1 f .t it 1 I 8o'i,,er defence cf the Union and the conMitution. , f T ' t. . 1 1 1 r t . j Having been thus deprived rf obtaining official information upon these questions, I , . . I ttm ob,'J lo Kher my statistics fi-un 1 -eh sources as I can. I shall make , siniemeni inai i nave not, received irom respectable and responsible parties, and none which I do not conceive to be rather under than over the true estimate. The government is to-day issuing rations to about two thousand negroes in this District alor.e. that cost over twenty cents per ration !?40U per day, in violation of law, is hiring in the District several hun dred negroes, Rome as teamsters and some for other purposes, to tho exclttsion of white laborers, thousands of whom, together with their wives and children, in our lurrro eilies arO BUfTetinL- fof tl6 Wantof e o t .Til HIT employment. I speak advisedly when I pay that tho republican party aro already J l i J PiiifT. tax-gathered money, in tins llictriet nhme over ihreo lumdre.l thou.and dollars per annum to buy, clothe, feed and exult Iii African raco. Thus for tho f , 1 gro you expenu more in a sir.o,o year j in the liistrict ol Lolumlua than jou ap propriate for tho government and protection of all tho people in all tho organized Territories of tho United Staies. The ne gro is made superior, in your legislation, to tho pioneer white men that settled the (Ireat West, and, amid hardships and dangers, lay the foundations of now commonwealths; tho hardiest and noblest men of our common country. So th peoplo are taxed yearly more for the benefit of the black's in this District alone than it coststo maintain tho burdens of State government in either Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Khodo Island, Now .lensey Delawaro, or Maryland.

In my district, Mr. Chairman, my constituents are selling corn at eight cents per bushel inorder to support their families and maintain the honor and integrity of our government. Shall money thus raised and for such a purpose be divertcd'to the entertainment of tho African? Will my people, will the people anywhere, indorse

First came the order of the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Welles, as follows: "Navy Dei'autment, April 30, IC62, "Siu The approach of tho hot and sickly season upon tho southern coast of the United States renders it imperative that every precaution bhould be used by the officers commanding vessel to conthtir crews. The large number of persons known as 'contrabands' flocking to the protection of the United Slates flag affords an opportunity to provide in every department of a ship, especially for boats' crews, acclima'ed labor. The flag-officers aro required to obtain the eervices of these persons for the country by enlisting them freely in the navy, with their consent, rating thsrn as boys, at eight, nine, or ten dollars per month, and one ration. Let a monthly return bo made of the number of this class of persons employed on each ve.sel under your command. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, "(ilDKO.N WjlLI.ES." Under the plea of tho approach of the sickly reason, Mr. Welles issues this order; under the 6ame plea the negro maj be called into any service in the South, though tho sickly season, and the terrible eliect it might have upon our army and navy was not thought of by any republican official until recently. Having made this progressive step in our navy, (as my colleague from the bureau district Mr. Lovejoy would call it.) it remaing to be emuUtod in our army. Not long does it await an imitator; Gen. D. M. Hunter, commanding in tho milita ry department of Soulh Carolina, Georgia, and KloriJa, issues an order to enroll companies, regiments, and brigades of negroes in the military service of the United Slates. Thus, in less than two years after the accession lo power of tho Republican party, the negro is made, as far as possible, the eijual of tho whito man as a civilian, a sailor, and a soldier. Nay, more than this the constitution is violated that whito men may be bereft of guaranteed rights. White men are stripped of tho armor of American citizenship in order that the negro may bo clothed therein. All this has been done against the earnest protest of all conservative men. And propositions and amendments to bills appropriating money for tho suppression of the rebellion, which provided that no money should bo divorted oilher to the freeing, tie suppoit or the enlistment of negroes have been in variably voted down by the republican party in this House. Worse than this even. General Hunter, in j his zeal for the negro, withdraws the protection of his army from the loyal citizens of Jacksonville, in Older to perfect his great negro boarding-house and African military academy at the mouth of tho Savannah Hive. This is undoubtedly in harmony with hii brilliant discovery that African slavery and martial law are incompatible. Common minds have heretofore considered martial law and slavery. either for whites or blacks, among the j most concordant institutions upon earth. This proclaniatory commander, who vies in profundity with the immortal General Phelps, undoubtedly considers martial law tha very casket jawel of American liberty. My mind Mr. Chairman revolts, at the degrading of the citizni soldiery of my country to the level of tho negro. Sir, the American volunteer has always ben our reliance nnd our vindication in war. 1 am opposed, and you will find the volunteer army of tho Union opposed, to tho equalization in the ranks of citizens and slaves. NF.OKO niri.oMATis ra. Hiving mnde such efforts for the ne groes of tho United States, it would seem that your zeal in their behalf would lag and languish. Rut, no; you now go wandering among the inlands of the sea and over the continents of the globe in pur suit of negro princpaliti and republics

J which you may recognize among the pow

ers of the earth. Hay ti and Liberia furnish further matter for your infatuation to fatten upon, and you at once proceed to establish diplomatic relations between fhe United States and these benighted and half-made parodies upon human government. At an annual expense of thousands of dollars, you propose to receive) negro di - plomat from them and send I nited j States Ministers to them; indeed vou are ; hied while tiThtin.r tbo hattW nf v., r o 0 ,. . country? Have you appropriated money to relieve tho wants and necessities of the widows and orphans of white men who 1 have perished upon the battle fields defending the constitution and the flag of our country? Ah, no; your time has been too much taken up with tho negro to think of these things. You have not appropriated one dollar for these put poses purpoj ties which should enlist the ability arid ; sympathy of overy patriot in the land. If this statement is incorrect; it lliis republican party have ever made a single effort in behalf of tho maimed soldiers, a single appropriation for the support of the orphans and widws of slain soldiers I hope some gentleman on the other side of the House will correct me. There is no response, and 1 am reassured in the correctness of my assertion by your silence. The alleviation of the eulferino-s of white o men or the protection of their rights is not in your philanthropy. Like your illustrious prototypes, Mrs. Jellaby, of the lloribolaga mission, or the lie v. Aminadab Sleek, in the play of tho Serious Family, to the political branch of which you abolilicn'sts will soon belong, your sympathies are never active ir. behalf of Dractical and genuine benevolence. KKA50X3 AOAINST EQUALIZING THE HACKS. Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to all j these sickly schemes for equalizing the race?. God made the white man eunerior to the black, and no legislation will uado or change the decrees of Heaven. They are unalterable as the laws of nature, eternal as Divinity itself, and to legislate against them leads us to infidelity and ruin. God, in His infinite justice, placed the two races upon tho earth to work out their respective destinies. History has faithfully recorded their achievements. To that impartial tribunal I confidently appeal for the verification of the white man's superiority. As God made them, so they have remained, and, unlike the abolition equalizationists, I find no fault and utter no complaint against the wisdom and justice of our Creator. The evils of the attempted equalization of tho races is illustrated by tho history of Mexico. That country was settled by the intelh-rent Spaniard, a race not inferior to our own ancestors. They developed the resources of the country by building roads, highways and canals. All alonrr their line f march the church and tho schoolhouse c were erected as landmarks of their "progross. Hut finally tho idea of ti e equalizing of tho races became popular; tho attempt was made, the races weeo com-I j mingled, and thenceforward the deteiiora- ! tion of the people was rapid and fearful. Thi hold true not only in Mexico and throughout Central and Southern Ameri-j ca, but in all sections of tho globe wher- j ever tho white race has commingled with i tho black or tho Indian. This sj stem of, equalization has failed to elevato tho infe-1 nor, but has a'. ways degraded tho superior , race. On the other hand, wherever the purity of ihe whito race has been preserved its superiority has continued, and its de ! velopment, both mental and physical, progressed. For three-quarters of a century the Unitod States have led tho van in all that is great or useful inventions. We have made an errand boy of tho lightning; we have applied steam as a propelling power. In a single year wo have demonstrated the iramy oi jugiauii a woouen wain oy mo i construction of our iron-clad ships of war; j and, at the same time, by the same ... e . l i ii i ii , i .i thought, dissipated all previously entertained opinions of seacosl and haibor fortilicalions. Sir, lam satisfied with the history of lhe races r s they are. as they wore cicaied, and a, our filhers legislated for them. I claim no originality for these thoughts; they have boon entertained by some of the ablebt statesmen, not only of our country, but of FngUnd, among them Mr. Canning, who, when the Riitish Parliament was cotisiderin-r schemes kindred to those now occupying the attention of the republican party in this c'intry, said:

In dealing with the negro, sir, we must remember that we are dealing with a being possessing the form and strength of a man, but the intellect onlr of a child. To turn him loose in the man-hood of Li physical strength, in ihe maturity of hii physical passions, but in the infancy of his uninatructed reason, would betoraiie up

a creature resembling tho splendid fiction of a recent romance, the hero of which j constricts a human form, with all the capabiluies of man, and with tho thews and i chance of its hiatus, talks onlr of tfrr . - j -j gradual emancipalkyri, because he knows ,h:U audden and unconditional emancipa lton would bo destruction to both the negro and the white man. Hrilrsh statesmen opposed immediate emancipation npon the ground of expediency alone. American statesmen should oppose it, not only upon that ground, but also npon the ground that th constitution gives no power to interfere with the domestic inslitutiona of ihe several States no such power either in peace or in war. Jlut to reach the goal trf their hopes, the abolitionists of this country are willing to override expediency, the law, ar.d the constitution: to destroy the government itbelf, in order to emancipate at once all the ftlaves of the South. Kot'li-FIFTMS OK THE SOLPrKRS orP0RD TO EGRO F.O.UALITT. My colleague (Mr. Lovejoy) says twothirds or three-fourths of the army are abolitionists. This -ry be true, btit npon the new constitution for the State of Illinois, wh.ch contains a provision to exclude negroes from locating within the Slate, j the soldiers do not vote like abolitionists. Eleven of our regiments have nllready voted upon tho adoption of tho constitution. Mr. Wu KLtFFE How did they vote? Mr. KicriAKosox Sixty ihree votes were given against it, and all the rest some I 8ev?ral thousand were given for it. Throughout the State of Illinois abol j l,on'st8 sr opposing this constitution, an(1 democrats d coservalive men are advocating its adoption Four-fifths, and perhaps nine-tenths, of all tho men thai carry muskets and knapsacks in the army of the West are opposed to the doctrines of negro etjU3lity and abolition, as preached by the gentleman from the Hurcau District of Illinois. II I is a man of grea holiness, apparently, and I must do him the justice to say that he advocates abolition and its consequences, with great, fearlessness, though he is too discreet to make as strong speeches in juthern Illinois as he dots.it Chicago 1,0 aml Beveral ol!:er Smen ot kindr-J P-W" treA me by canvassing through ' d,str,et duriK lhe 1:ist wmpaign thai j 1 mHll f,jr "S". 11" ! re:il P -' thej were quite moderate.

'S'r I WH not digress, but return to lhe consideration of the s.demn responsibilities that are resting upon us. Our country is meanced by secessionists in arms, lebels upon one hand, and by aboIiii,.iifg, nub liliera of the laws and the constitution, upj on tho ether. Sir, I pn.poso bayonets for ; the former, ballots for the latter.
