among the Powers Of the world II anything wore
needed to unite strengthen the people the loyal
States in the discrimination to sectualy crush the
rebellion II would DO the present position Of our gov
eminent in this respect Mr. Gooch proceeded TO de-
monstrate that the commercial interests OF our people
demand the recognition OF Hayi and Liberia, quoting
statistics showing trade with these republics
to famarze themselves with the theory and practice
OF government and thereby enable them TO improve
and perfect their Dir. Goocb then stated the poti
cal for establishing intimate diplomatic relations

Independence Of fayti and Liberia follow the exam
pie tho leading Powers OF the world Petition after
petition has asked it, aud there is valid why
the prayer OF the petitioners should not be granted
Men az all parties dcsro the recognition or the 90
vsrdmcnts. Justice, sound policy, political wisdom
and the example OF other governments demanded that
recognize the independence OF Hay and Liberia and
that intercourse with them place them on tho
same footing a. other independent nations.
Mr.. Cox, (opp of Ohio, offered substitute proposing
that there be appointed Consul Generals to negotiate
treaties Of commercs with Hayt and Liberia. The OBJ
ject designed not much to increase commerce but
TO gvo sort OF dignity and equality to those republics
because their citizens happen to be black. He argued
the Consus the appropriate agents to promote
the interests Of He asked the gentleman from
Massachusetts, whether he expected minister in
from Hayti
Mr.. GoocH said he wished to put Hayu on tho same
footing as other nations and that republic
as England and Franco will do .
Mr. Cox said Hayti dsbarred all whites from ONCE As
consequence sh, would send negro minister bore,
with all the rights and digntss OF Lord Lyons and
Count MERCER.
MFR. FEssgSDEN, (rep) OF Me-. wished to know what
objection tho gentleman from ohio had to that.
Mr.. Cox said that he objected because II raised the
black 10 equality of the white. He had thought
tho government made for white mon. He rccol-
iected that the gentleman from Maine (r Fcsscnden)
said something like this the other day, namely :He
would prefer that the Union should than
that slavery be continued Tho gentleman would de.
stroy the Commonwealth for the purpose Of getting at
black man. Mr.. Cox, in his argument, said
that the people Of Haytil had not the force to
risc above ignorance, corruption and super
stition for the last twenty years. The only
object TO dress up the negro minister who might be
hitler In gold and lace with tight lcggngs and shoe
buckles OF the old style and perhaps put wig on his
head and send him TO tho White House b. the laugh
ing stock Of all who congregate there He not to be
considered much the representative OF ay as Of the
free negroes OF this city and to whom they would look
as the god Of thoir doatry
Mr. BppLE topp) Of Pa said the present condition u
the African race, and the momentous political question
connected with IT, should induce the House to reject the
bill which n part OF policy which contributed
TO sever the Union, and 1t is the greatest obstacle
its restoration and To the successful pr secnion OF
the war This tho day OF double danger to tho con.
sttuton from sccessiohists aud abo onsls IL was no
part the latters policy to send tho negroes away
They want TO keep them here support their power

to give an inch TO those who would tokc an ell. He
would not stick feather in the cap Of ab0ionisfn. To
pass this bill woAd BIO an acknow led .ment OF the
equality Of tho races
