While we revere the fathers Of the Republic, the good
gifts of Gods favor were not poured ont for them ex
clusively. Political progress has not ceased; our
fathers never contemplated that States would madly
shoot from their spheres. Our fathers never oresaw
that our States would be conquered INTO Iefriories
occupied by races one batting the Union, the other
loving il with all their hearts These questions are now
before US for settlement. How shall we deal with
theme What restrictions shall be placed upon
these subdued enemies before they shall be clothed
with the rights of American citizenship
Shall no rights be given TO the black man who has al
ways fought for the flag be loved and shall be s be
counted as three.fths Of another person. There are
two theories one is that the rebeous States lost none
of their rights by rebellion so that when armed re-
bellion was crushed the States sprang into ball their
former rights The other theory is that these rebeous
States banded in a new COniederacy deiying us as
enemies lost none OF their rights under the Consttu-
tion. They were less subjects because they were
Rebels but they were less citizens because theF were
traitors They must take the position into which they
have voluntarily placed themselves, until by acts
meet for repentance. they shall show themselves lit
for government founded on republican democracy.
which shall give laures TO our defenders stripes TO
our enemies At home and abroad. fAppause On these
