SPEECH OF AIR. LATHAM.
M IATRiM made speech, arguns that the Rebel
lion was never limited by State Ines but its authority
was extended only as far its power oonld carry IT,
He therefore protested against the OF tie expression
that the States out Of the Union. II was por.
ton Of the people who inaugurated Governmen nt
aEtagonistic to that of the United: States. The
States o. Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas were
NO more in rebellion when the Rebel hoTdes operated in
them than were the States Of Maryland, ennsylyania
Kentucky and Missouri, when they were invaded and
pacea ia similar circumstances The rights OF prOtec
-cn loyal citizens everywhere were the same under
she Constitution. The House had been told by Union
par ezesaee that the States lately in rebellion
were out the UBoD but look on the Stars and Stripes
which wave the Capitol Did the House endure q
.dauntiDg lie in its presence The number Of States
p the Union IS represented ON that Tag. None are
deficient He announced that he was in favor of re-
sriDC the State governments as they existed before
Iley overthrown by the Rebellion subject only TO
s1eh changes and conditions as would make them con-
form 10 ihe PRESENT state OF the National
Government They bad not less than
20 different propositions presented rs guarantee He
did net know wD6t they were He could not see the
necessity for so much Constitutional amendment. If
fntber amendment necessary, 1t would be better
10 have a convention AT once That instrument should
not bo on uyQ1f TORS q Objected
gae the determination on the part o. some OF the men,
hers Of this House TO refuse representation TO these
Sou,ho;n States until the amendments in question
gsTe secured. He vented the dominant party
continue their control Of national affairs as they de-
served 10 d. and they would perpeuate their power N
Gey should act wisely and justly But If they pre-
scented the loyal minority from participating In the af
fsirs Of the Government until the amendments were
aGe the Constitution instead OF being the ehartr Of
bherty, world become an instrument OF opofes-
non. The people would never sanction amendments

elc-en times the population Of California, wonld
Indiana with oaly eight per cent more population /

cr and cOntended that all these would be avoided by
the adoption Of the anendnent proposed by him which
