etam and Port Hudson, ever believed that
God Almighty put up" the three sons OF
Noah with the same intellectual and spirit
ual excellence Of constitution. But fbelieve
that it is possible for the white man to de-
teriorate. Not intrinsically as a race but
I think as it is possible, according to the
language Of no less a man than st.
Paul, for some man-formed creatures to
become nothing but natural brute beasts,
it is very reasonable to infer that it is
quite possible that some white men might
become 80 immeasurably beneath the ne
gro that it were well the Government
should put the bayonet in the hand OF the
black man because it was ~retributively
u%nrighteons and u~ndigniied that they
should be shot down by a white man.
Applause.
But, sir, we meet here in a preliminary
deliberative capacity. The enemy is not
according to the minstrel's rhyme for
"Rhynosorous EXACTLY before US; but
understanding to the reverse rhyme OF
Rackorinous - quite behind us.
We do not see him-he goes crawling
about the streets he is sneaking aroun
with a bow-headed cane upon his arm,
expectorating his tobacco,juice all over the
pavement, and looking, with eyes like sau-
GERS, into the immediate future,-as to
how they shall raise a platform which may
beat the Union party. But if they have
not found it yet, I do not think there is
any danger they will discover it. Why
are they so long coming out and above
| board :-these old men, these hnary head
I'd politicians, who were so crafty in times
past laying traps. They would like, as
has been suggested, for US to make some
issue that would expose some flaw to
their sneaking inspection. When they
ask me or you what we are going 10 do in
the way of making q platform, let us re-
turn the compliment. 1t is the afirma-
| tive of the proposition they have to take.
What will you do: Will you swear that
i. is a good thing that we gained u victory
At Richmond. and cleaned you out ulti-
mately with the surrounding armies OF
Sherman? How do they like that? Can
they put anything like that in their plat.
form? Can they put a congratulatory
sentence IN it: Not one-except this:
away out in New York, in q dot Of a
place called Rochester, there were a few
men and women assembled, a few days
ago. to consider as to the propriety OF
shortening the waist and skirt Of a woman's
dress and we are told By the leading
Q of Democracy, all over the State
Of California, that it is evidence that the
Union party is about to turn in favor of
Abby Krlly's theory Of putting the
hreeches on females. But the real fact is,
that this dress having been sanrtiied by
the great hero of Democracy, jeff Davis,
in his last conservative journey. is not in
danger Of beng abridged by the Union
forces. tremendous cheering and laugh
rer.) But the black mar is the issue"
The black man is the issue, is he? Let
us have him. then, full FLOODED; for
mulattues, quadroons, and ocroroons,
have been the issue Of the chivalry De-
mocracy for the last fifty years. (Laugh-
ter and applause.) Here several distin-
guishcd Democrats" got sick. and left
for more congenial quarters.-REP.
Mr.. President II is said that some
questions are in allegiance. They await
'he action of the people of the South.
Andrew Johnson, q man in whom to-day
| place implicit confidence, is trying an
experiment. He is trying an experiment
in North Carolina, in Tennessee, and, |
might say, in South Carolina. No mortal
man is Directing to that. He is asking
the loyal white men to come forward and
form State governments, and TAKE into
their control commonwealth al iirs. He
ls doing this, however, literally As an en-
pertinent. Bound by no obligation, be.
yond that inherent in u promise that it
that re-organization-for, though he says
the States are yet in, still it is after all a
re-organization-shall be consistent with
loyalty,-they will be. in his opinion, ad-
mitted, and they will be by him recognize
ed. No one objects to the experiment.
Every Union man hopes, l believe, If he
has sense as we'll as sentiment, that II will
be successful though some doubt it.
Now, it is said that if it should happen
that leading rebels take charge Of the
State governments, and send men OF po-
litical opinions kindred to their own to
the Congress Of the United States, 1t
would be in the power Of that body to
deny such delegates admission. l do not
understand Andrew Johnson to dispute
that. As an humble citizen, l assert that l
believe it is the right of Congress so to do.
That IS the whole of the matter. And 1t
they can stay out in the cold, until the
polar regions shall specially send down
some fresh icebergs to their part of the
Atlantic coast, to refrigerate them into a
;olerably condition of decency and stitfen-
ness, why, very well. let them stay out.
(ApplauSe.) 1t will do them no great
harm. They can stand il. Look how
the Copperhead party-the greater por-
ton Of it-have staid out of office for four
years. in California and here. But they
stood it. Let them stay out in the cold.
(Applause.) II the Union men Of Nevada
can't elect men to office who may with
pre-eminent success play the "freezc-out"
| policy on the traitors, then we have not
rightly improved the peculiar advantages
Of IL stock bearing education. We have
| the Government in our hands: and if they
will come after or through this experiment,
and acknowledge themselves as loyal
men, and show it BY a provision, saying
that HUMAN FREEDoN-Oh! those words
are music to my heart, and God forbid 1
should compromise the sentiment of my
life by limiting that anything different
shall be forever the rule and glory of
,heir land. Then let them come it. APP
~plause. But it is in the power of the
Government to put that letter, in inefface-
able gold. in their organic acts; or let
them stay out and scold and fret, while
poor JEFF. scratches his simulated measles
in a casemate at Fortress Monroe. Tier
rife laughter and applause.
Talk. sir. of beating the Union party of
Nevada! How: Who said it: BY
splits. boltings. defections: Who imputed
10 you or me the thought of such a thing
rs that: What whisper went abroad
upon the winds, tina, for a moment per-
sonal feelings were to overtop that great
and grand object Of victory for principles
sake, forever to be kept in view as the
very apple O: our eve: tApplause.
