HUB BE3TEWEB

Has stood the test of seven years before the public and no preparation for the hair has yet been discovered thai will produce tho same beneficial results. It is an entirely now scientific discovery,com bluing many of the most powerful and re Hloralivo agents in the VEGETABLE KINGDOM. It-restore* GRAY HAIR TO ITS ORIGINAL YOUTHFUL COLOR. It makes the scalp white and rlean euros dandruff and humors, and fulling out'of the hair arid will make it grow upon bald heads, except in very aged persons, As it furnishes tho nutritive principle by which the hair is nourished and supported. It make* the hair moist, and glossy, and is unsurpassed as a HAIR DRESSING. It is the cheapest preparation ever offered to the public, as one bot tie will accomplish more and last longer than three bottles of aoy other preparation.

It is recomnionded and used by the Firs Medionl Authority. Tho'wOnderful results produced by our Sicilian Hair Itenower have induced many manufacture preparations for tho ait nnder'VWrious names and, in order to induce the trade and the public to purchase their ^©mppunds, they have resorted to falsehood, by-claiming they were former partners bad some connection with our 'Mr. Hall, and their preparation was similar to oiira. Do not be deceivod by theui. Purchase tho original: it has never yet been equalled. Our Treatise on the Hair, with certificates, sent free by mail. See that each "bottle ha3 our private Kevonue Stamp over the top of the bottle. All others are imitations.

f" If I had not boon

referred tn by my honorable friend front "VYiscOTisiE (Mr.

T)OOXITTI,k)

in the'dn-

ba,te yesterday I should not desire to speak on this question, especially -at this time. I feauhatl shall not have the strength to say what I wish to.

Tire issue hereto-day is the samri which prevails throughout tho country, \rhich will bo the issu§ofthii canvass, and perhaps for years to come. Tu repeat what I have had occasion to say elsewhere, it ia between two paramount ideas, each struggling,for tha supremacy.. One. is, that the war Lo suppress tbe talfellio'n \\HE right artd.juBton our part that the rebels for-: feited their civil arid political rigots, uhd :oan only bs restored to them upon 'such eondiUons as the nulioix may proscribe for iIs. future safety ansi procpertty. Tho oilier idea is, that tho "wbelliori was not aififul, but was right tfirt those engaged in it forfeited no rights, civil or political, and bavo a right to lake charge of their SUto governmets and ba restored W their representation in Congress just ns if there had been no rebellion and nothing had occurel.' The immediate issue 'osfuro the Senate now is between tho exi^io^ state governments established under the of tho l*ro3id«nt of the United States in tho rebel States and the plan of reconstruction presented by Congress.

Wben a surveyor first on^rs a new territory he endeavors to ascertain the oxact latitude and longitude ot given spat, and from that can saloly begin hi? survev and ?o I will endeavor to ascertain a pro! position in Ihie debate upon which both parties are agreed, and start, from tbat proposition. Thut proposition is. that at the end of the wr»r. in the fpring of 18R5, the rebeHStales" were without State governments oi" any kind. 'J he loyal' Stfito governments oxising ot the beginning of the war had been overturned by the. 10bels: tliaTebel Stale gorernmer.I? eroctvd during tho v/ar had been overturned by our armies, and at the end of the 'war there were uo governments of a«y kind existing in tboso States, This fact was recognized distinctly by the PivJdfnt oi' tho United States in his procl«mation under which tho'work of reconstruction was commenced in North Carolina in 1865, to which I beg leave to refer. The others were mere copied of tlys proclamation. In that proclamation he .nays: "And wherea' the ^hellinil, which has bocn waged portion of tho people /f the United 5|fttes against the pn-perly constituted authoritico of the Government, thereof, in the most violent- and rev-1 ting form,'but whose organizod and armed forces have now been almost entirely overcome, has in iU revolutionary progress deprived the people of l!ie State sf North Carolinia of all ci vil jj-n'^rninant."'

l,the

United States shall guarantee io every State in this Union a republican form ef govetiimont." This provision contains vast, undefined pov/er that iirw never yot, been aiccrtained—a great supervisory power given Io the United St*t'\- to .ri8 bio them to keep tho States in their orbit-', to preserve them from anarchy., revolution, nnd, rebellion. The measure of power thus eonforrcd upon the Go\v fiinonr of Ihe United States' can only determined by that which is requisite to guarantee or maintain in each State a legal and republican form, of government. Whatever power, therefore, may be necessary to enable the Government of the United States thus to maintain in: each Stnto a republican form of government conveyed by this provision.

Now, Mr. President, when ihe war ended and these States were found without governments of Rny kind, the juri?. diction of the United States, under this provision ot the Constitution, at once attached the power to reorganise State governments, to uso the common word, to reconstruct, to maintain and guarantee republican Stato governments in those States at onca attached under this pn. vision. Upon this proposition thorn' jj aleos conrtfrrence of the Ttvo fc.rtieJ The President has-distinctly fecoghraed the application of this cJftuse of the Constitution. He has recognized the.fact tbat its jurisdiction attached when those States were found without republican State governments, and ho himself claimed to act under this clause of the Constitutii-n. 1 will read the.preamble oi the President'* proclamation. "Whereas the foarth 'soction of tho fourth article of the Constitution of the United States declares that'the United States shall guarantor to Wery Sf«te in the Union a republican form ot govern* mcntj and shall protect each o£ them against invasion and domestic, violence^ snd whereas the President' "oftho United States is by tke OoostituUon "mnde Comaaader-ia-ohtef of the1 army anil navy as well as chief cavil ex •eutiye offlcer of the United State?, and is bound by solemn oath faith*

-. 3 S*J

fully to execute Uie office of President of the'United State.%, and to take care that the laws be faithfully .executed and whereas the rebellion wtich has been waged by a portion of the people of the United States against theproperly constituted authorities of the Government thereof in the most, viotent and revolting form, but who organized and armed forces have notp been almost entirely overcome, has in its revolutionary progress,deprived tho people of the State of North Carolina of all civil government and" whereas it becomes necessary and proper to carry out and eufofce the obligation of the people of th« United States to the people of North Carolina in securing them in tho enjoyment^ of a republican form of government."

I read this, Mr. President for the purposo of showing that tho President of tho United States, in his policy of reconstruction started Out with a distinct recognition of tho applicability of thi3 clause of the Constitution, and that he hased his system of reconstruction upon it. It is true that he-recites in this proclamation that he is the Commandcr-in chief of. the army of the United State? but at the same time he puts hi* plan of reconstruction nor. upon njie exercise cf the militnry power which ia cabled to its aid, but on execution of the gnarant the provided by the clause of the Const,iution to'which I have referred. Ho appoints a Governor for North Carolina and for these other Stntw, the ofQco being civil in its character, but military in its effects. This Governor has •ill the power of one of the district commanders, and, in fact, far greater power than was conferred upon General Pope or General Sheridan, or tiny general in command of a district for it in further nrovi fieri: "Thnt the military eomrfnmder thede partment, and all officers and persons in tho military and naval service, aid and assist'fhfl said proyiisiotfnl governor carrying into effect this procclimation

Wo are then agreed u'pqn the second proposition, that the power of the United States to reconstruct and guarantee republican forms of government at onco npplied when these States were found in the condition in which th«y were ait the end of the war. Then, sir, heing agreed upon these two propositioriM, We are brought to the question as to tlm proper form of exercising this po\v$r and'"by whom it ehall be exercised. The Constitution skysthat "the Urrited States shall guarantee to every State in thisUnion a republican form of government.' By the phrase ''United Statea" hero is meant the Government of the -United State3. The United States can only act through the Government, and the ol-iuse -would mean precisely the same thing if it mkd "tho Government of. the United Staves ••shall guftrAtuteeto everyvState in this Union a republican form of government.'

Then, as the Government of rhe United Stales is" to eKecute this gunranty, the question arises, what constitutes iiio Government of the United Stata. fho President does not conslitut' the Govrrnment tho Congress does not coastitutn h* Government the judiciary does not constitute tbo Go.veruioant bui. all ihjoe to«vHher coiistituLe tho, Govcrornent tiiid.ur^hia guaranty is to be ••xecutcd by tho Government of tho United State?, it follows net-eisariiy that it mu?t be a legislntivo The President could not ascumo to execute thr- guuranty without assuming that he was the United Stales within the meaning of that provision, without assuming that he was the Government of the United States. Congress could not of iUoJf usnumo to exeeute tho guaranty without assuming' that it was the Government'vf the' United States u'or could tho judiciary without a like assumption.- The act must'be the act .ol' the Government, and tljereibre iLiuuit bci lcgislai.iV act, a t&W! pi3^cd hy Congress, submitted to LLo Piesidenl ior his approval, and puhupc, in a proper tase subject to bo re weu thuj udieiary.

Mr. President, that thij is th» case from the simple reading of the Constitution seems to me c&nntt be lor a moment denied. The President, in -as. 'svtming'to executrvthi* guaranty himself, is assuming to ba. the Govern,m.',nt of the

United States, which he clearly is not, but only ono of its co-ordinnU. brunches and, tbftU'ioro, a? this guaranty iro -,t ln a legislative iu t, it follows that tbe attampt on tbu part of the Pre.-iie'ienl to execute the guaranty was witbom. authority, and that tho guaranty can only.be executed in the form cf a law', llrst to ba pa-ind by Congress find then to be submitted to the Picsidorjt fiii his approval arid if ho dos not apptvVft ii,.than to bn parsed over his heati by a mnjority ot two-tbirds in each House.

-tfi

decides that this power ia not judicial, that it is one of the high powers conferred upon Congress that it ia not subject to be reviewed by the Supreme Court, because it is political in its nature. It is a distinct enunciation of tho doctrino that this guaranty is not to be executed by the President or by the Supreme Court, but by the Congress of the United States, in the form of a law to be passed by that body aud to bo submitted to the President for his approval and should he disapprove it, it may becotno a law by being passed by a two-thirds majority over his head.

Now, I will call the attention of my friend from Wisconsin to some other au thority. As ho'has been pleased to rcfor to a former speech of mine to show that I am not quite consistent, I will refer to a vote given by him in 186-4 on a very important provision. On tho l»t of July, 1864, tho Senate having under considcrn tion, as in Committee of ttie Whole,- ''a bill to guaranteo to certain"States whose governments have been usurped or overthrown a republican Torm of government," Mr. Brown^of Mis&ouri, offered an amendment to strike out all of the bill aftor the enacting clause and tu insert a substitute, which 1 will ask the Secretary to read.

The Secretary read as follows "That, when the inhabitant® of any State have been declared in ajstate of insurrection against th? United States by proelamntion of Ibe President, by force and virtue of the act entitled "An act further to provide for the collection of duties on import*, and for other purposes," approved July 13, 1861, they shall be and -are hereby declared to be, ineapablo of casting any vote for electors of President or Vice President of the United States, or of electing Senators or Representatives in

Congress until said insurrection in said Stato is suppressed or abandoned, and said inhabitants have returned to their obedience to tho Government of tho United States, and until such return to obedience shall bo declared by proclamation of the President, issued by virtue of an act- :of Congress hereafter to bo passed, authorising tho same."

Mr, Morton. The honorable'Sprtatbr from. Wisconsin voted for that iniCommittee of tbo Whole and on its final passoge I call attention to the conclusion of tlio amendment, winch declares that tliey shall be— "Ineapablo of casting anj' vote for el«c= tors of President or Yico President of the United States or of electing Senators orRppresentatives in Congress until said in surrectioh in euid State" is suppressed or abandoned, and said inhabitanta hure.rfeturrod to their obedience to the.Qovardment of the "tfnited State-, and until pudh return and obedience Bhall bo declared by proGlamaiion of the President, issued by virtue of an act of Congress hereafter to be passed, authorizing the same''.

Recognising that a state *n* war shall be regarded as continuing untii it rhall bii dee-Jai'cd no longer to exist by'the Presi^ deti), in virtue of an act of Congress .to. be hefoaftcr passed, I am glad to find .by looking at the vote that the distingukhiKl Senator from Maryland (Mr.JohnBoh) voted for this proposition, s^nd thus reeo$nizod the doctrine for which I am now eontending: that the power to execute the guaranty is vested in Congress alone, and that, it is '.r Pongress alone So deieunino the-ftuius and condition of those States, and tbat the President has no power to proclnriin peace or to declare ihe political condition of thoso States untii he shall firs! have been thereunto .authorized by an act s»f Congress.

I therefore, Mr. President, Uku the piopo«ition as conclusively p^tullishcd, both,by reason, and authority, tho!. thk clause of the Constitution can be executed only by Congress and taking that aa established, 1 now prococd to consider what are the powers of Congress in the execution of tho guaranty, how it .shall bo executed, and what means niav ba employed for that purpose, xhe Constitution does not define tbo means. It does not say how the guaranty shall bo executed. All tbat is left to tbo determination e£ Con gres?. Aa tothe particular character of tho meant that must be employed, that, take it, will depend upon the peculiar circumstances of each case and tho extent of the power will depend upon tho other question as to what may be required for the purposo of maintaining or guaranteeing a loyal republican form of government in each Stale, use the word 'lloy» ftl,-' although it is not used in the Constitution, bncauso' loyalty is an inhering qualification, not only in regard to persons who are to fill public, offices, but in regard to State governments, #nd we have no right torccogr.iso a Stato go vein merit, that ia not loyal to theGovernment of tho United States. Now, sir, as to the uso.6f mqans that are not prescribed in the,Constitution, I call the attention of the Sen« ate, to the eighteenth clause of section eight of the first article ot tho Constitution of the United btatea, which declares that:

The Congress f.hall Lave power tpmake all laws which ahull bo ntee=sury fuul proper for carrying into execution t.he forr-goir.g powers aud all other powers rc-ted iy this Constitution in the Gov» einnicr.tof the United States or any department or officer thereof/'

Here is a declaration of What would otherwise he a general principle anyhow: tli«t Congress shall have tho power to pa3s all laws necessary to carry into execution all powers that are vested in the Government under the Constitution,. -As Congress has the power to guarantee or" maintain a loyal republican government in e&ch State, itb&s the right to n?e whatever rro-ans may be necessary i'-r tlovt purprs^. As 1 beforo remarked, the character f-f tho means will depend upon the character of the case. In one csfee it may be*he u»e pf an army in another c-ts^ perhaps it may bo simply presenting a question to tho eourt?, and having, it tpof^d in that way in another case it may go to tho very foundation of the Goverp. ment U^elf. And I now propound this proposition: that if Congress, after d( Jib(•ration, after long and bloody experience shfill 3ome to the conclusion that Idyal republican State governments cannot bo arected and maintained in the rebel

shall be conclusive that it cannot be reviewed by the courts that it is a purely political matter and therefore tho determination of Congrass, that raisiftg up colorta men to th». right of suffrage is means nece?s&ry to tho execution of that power, is a determination whiph cannot bo reviewed by the courts, a.nd is concKisive upon tho poople of this.countnv

The President of the United States, assuming that ho had the power to eiecuto this guaranty, and basing bis procluma, tion upon it, wont, forward in the work of reconstruction. It was understood at that time—it was so announced, if not by himself, at least formally by tho Secretary of State, Mr. Seward—that the governments which ho would erect during the vacation of Congress were to bo erected as provisional only that his plan of reconstruction and the work that was to be done under it, would be submitted to Congress for its approval or disapproval at the next session. If the President had adhered to that determination I-l^eNeve thnt a!t would have been well, Mr«l that the present state of things would not exist. Jiut, air, the Executive undertook finally- to execute the guaranty himself without tho co-operation of Congress. Ho appointed provisional governors, giving to them snlimited power until sueii time as the now State governments should be erected. He prescribed in his proclamation who should exercise the right of suffrage in the electron of delegates. And allow fine for one moment to refer to that. He says in Lis proclamation: "No person shall be qualified as an elector, or shall be eligible as a member of such convention, unless hoshall have pre viously taken and subscribed, tha-so&lh of amnesty, as set forth, in the, President's proclamation of May 29, A. D.t 1333" which was issued on tho same .day and was a part ..of the same transaction—

Aftor those constitutions wore formed the President went forward and accepted thorn

being loyal and repub

lican in their character. He authorized the voters under them to procaod to elect Legislatures, jneuibera of Congress, and tho Legislatures to elect Senators Io take thoir seats in this body. In other word*, tho President launched thoee Stato governments into full lif& and activity without consultation with or co-oporation on the part of Congress.

Now, sir, when it is claimed that tbo^e governments are legal, let it be remembered that they took their origin under a proceeding instituted by the President of the United States in the oxecution of this guaranty, when it now stands confessed that he could not execute the guaranty.— But even if he had the power, let it be further borne in mind that those constitutions were formed by conventions tbat were olected by less than one-tbird of tho white voters 'in the States at that time that the conventions were elected by a small minority even of the white voters,and that those constitutions thus formed by a very small minority have never fceen submitted to the poople of those States for ratification. They are no more tho constitutions of those

!5°y

StatoB to-day than the eonni

tutions formed by the conventions now in session would bo if we were to proclaim them, to be the constitutions of those States without fwst. having submittf.d the.m to tbo people for ratificmivn. flcan.it bo pretended for a moment, even admitting that tho President bid toe power to start, forward in»thci wwk of recoiistructiou, thut those.

And, sir, if we-sbail admii, these SiRt to representation on this floor and in the other House, undeir those oonaUtution? when tho thing sbftll have got beyond our keeping and tliey aro fully restored to their political right?, they will tho ,.r? up,and declare that those constitutions sts not bindJbg upon' them, that they cyr inRd'o them and they will throw them off, atid Wilh tbem vrill go tbnso provi -fo! which were incorpofated therein, dec!a ing that Slavery'should nprer be restor and that their war debt was repudiate Those provisiobS'Wefe pert into- those r.. ~5titutidn«, but they bnve iterer Iwen ssnr. tion^d by the pebp'te of those States, v,rr\ they win rast them odt ts noShisinf? thc-r act and deed as Sfldft thet ehail been restt^rM tW poflticial power ia th Government. say that -1 if bs coneadet that Ui^President hid prvwer, whioh'Le had not. to °Uirt forwan iB the exec«tion thw gus,rsnty, ts&t e^ii Btill baA©-'preteBse that .tli^ie-go-
