CONFIsCATION.

CoHFIsCATIoN.
The speaker took up some of the OBJ
jectionAble measures of the Administra-
ton, and disposed of them summarily.
As 10 confiscation, IL was nothing more
than the universal policy of governments
ut war; every power had the right to
take the property of the enemy that
might be used against them. II had
been early adopted by the rebel Govern
ment, and kept up as long as there was
any property of Union men left to be
confiscated. Mr.. Maynard had hardly
left his home in Tennessee before his
house was entered, and process served for
its confiscation, while his wife and family
were then under its shelter. The law
had good effect; many who wanted to
be rebels had been restrained I'D kept
as quiet IS mice.
THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.
This was finally acquiesced in, said
the speaker, and then came the kmanci-
patton Proclamation. was opposed TO
that proclamation, and / went to the
President, with eleven other Union men
of the South, and urged him TO withhold
the proclamation of January. But he
said he had put his foot down there, and
it was so long that when il once found .
resting place it was difficult TO remove
it; and, in this case, it could not be
moved. / opposed it because knew
great many real Union men in the South
who were weak in the faith, would make
trouble on account of it; knew il would
be A great load upon the shoulders of
some in the North, and that JEFF. Davis
would use il for the purpose of giving
new life 10 his cause; and l knew il
would be seized upon and made the
ground for hue and cry that we
were fighting, not for the Union,
but for the niger. Aud l think
you viii bear me testimony that s;syT ap
prehensions were not far away. Ten
nessee, however, was not embraced in
the proclamation, and, so far as l have
heard, no body in Ohio has lost any me-
groes by it. Laughter. And / have
heard but one complaint in Tennessee,
and that is, some of the people are sorry
the President die, mot include that State
also. Great applause. Slavery was q
| fsvorite institution there before the war,
but the war has made what little there is
left of it, of very little value, and that
little is going very fast, and see nobody
shedding any tears over it. must con-
fess that, looking at the country then and
now, am constrained to say that in that
measure, as in most others where have
differed in opinion with the President,
that the President was right and was
wrong. Great applause, and cheers for
Old Abe. This measure especially, has
been one Of the most potent agencies he
has used in the military operations of the
Government In the first place, it has
made true friends of the negroes, and
tell you, their friendship is much better
than their enmity. In the next place, il
has weakened the power of the enemy,
and it has made friends for our cause in
the Old World, among the people, who,
in some degree, at least, hold a check
upon the ruling powers over there.

NEGRO SOLDIERS.

Negro soldiers was the next thing TO
trouble the people. His greatest objec-
ton to this measure was his fears that
they would not fight, One of the first
measures of the rebel government Of his
own State, was law 10 force all the
free negroes of the State into the army.
The example thus set had been followed
by President Lincoln, aud with great
success. he 1Oas nO0 convinced that The
more voc could get Of such soldiers ths
better.
He was not afraid il was going to bring
about an equality between the white men
and negroes. His opinion of any man whO
feared such result, tOas, That Il tOoslld

him.
In reference to the draft, the speaker
said that any objection TO ii from the
Democrats, came with i'll grace, for the
reason that the idea of such q oonscript
law was suggested by Governor Seymour
in his inaugural address, last January
As TO the haJsas corpus he had yet Il
