New-York daily tribune., 1866-01-10

Mr.. BINGHAM resumng said the gentleman from
Indiana stood behind the shadow of a mighty name
He not certain that Gen. Grant touched the border
Of South Carolina. The gentleman said he was salts
fed with the testimony Of Gen. Grant, but he could not
be thus satisfied because Gen. Grant has not given such
testimony. He was not willing to concedo that those
VINO gave aid TO the RebelOntshOuld be entrusted with
the great interests In the keeping Of the Republic The
only safety TO the Union is in the hands of its friends
The purpose simply TO take security for the future but
not ask Indemnity for the past. The gentleman him
self voted for what he wanted security for the future
by casting bis vote In favor OF the constitutional
Amendment prohibiting tAesassumption OF the Rebel
debt II they could demand that one security for the
future could they not take in more for the benefit OF
oil sections II did not appear to tue gentleman, when
he read from the Presidents Message that therein the
President reproduced from the author Of the Declafa
tion OF American Independence the truth that the true
Interest of government is equal and exact JUS
tice TO all mem" This constitutes the wstch-word
of the Presidents Message Bat OF this the gen
tleman was oblvous when he made his speech In the
first Congress Of the Confederation motion was nade
TO limit citizenship to white freemcn. Eourhths o. all
the people there represented and IN iI1s the pep
mites rejected IL with scorD and excluded il from the
fundamental law a0 therefore, II never iouhd piaco
in the Constitution and laws OF the United States
Having one measure OF security. we may regu're
another and the purpose OF the CONSTITUTION Is
equal and exact justice, lie thanked the Tres;
iden; for utcrinG this watch.word Of the purcr ana
better DAYS Of the Republic. IL applies equally 10
the white and black man. The time was when 1t was
unsafe for citizen of Massachusetts or other Northerh
States to be found in the streets OF Charleston or KEN
mOn1 because in despite and violation OF the Con
stuton Of tho Uni,cd States, all guarantees OF that
instrument were d!sregarded. 1t was time we take
security for the future that more attempts may be
made TO dsmember the Republic He repeied IN scorn
the assertion that be co6perated with any party which
imposed unequal unjust burdens on any State OF the
Republic. He undertook 70 say that the PreGdent
would cooperate in introducing into the Constitution
that which will perfect II. so tlat We may reap the
great end for which the Constitution was ordained
and to make a more perfect union promote
/ the pnblic tranquility, and establish 'jnstice. as
Well might the President say equal and exact Justice To
all men. He repeed every intlmaton that the Repre-
sentatives here have manifested the slightest disposi
tOn 10 interfere with the Just prerOgatiyes OF the
President or 10 wake up conflict with him. IL the
day when he will find no supporters except
among those who IN 1901 were buried 30 deep that the
hand of resurrection can never find them. then God
help the President and save him from his friends :
lAPplausel
order and reminded those who produced 1t that neither
such appreciation nor disopproya would be permitted
Mr. BINGHAM resumine, examined little more
closely the Presidents position. he had understood
all his lie that difference in words nothing II they
agreed in substance Tie express position Of the
President in exact accord with the position OF this
House that the functions Of the nsurreconay States
suspended by their own act. They cannot assert
their rights claim representation on this floor mill the
Represe of all the States satisfied that they
have placed themselves in their proper positions. The
President says the continuance Of the States is assumed
for FEDERAL purposes Ouee State always State Tor
Federal purposes ill tie sad day when treason shall
: triumph over the Republic. South Carolina BY her
ordinance of Secession could no, blot out the State
lines so far established for Federal purposes The
judicial district remains despite her treason. The
moment captured Hilton Head by authority of the
people Of the United States she ceased to be State
or municipal purposes. Yet the American people might
open courts OF justice there and proceed to execute
judgement, according to law against every onehuer.
The whole State was then for Federal not for munich
pal purposes and never can be for municipal purposes
until the States organized for municipal purposes
20 the satisfaction Of the people Of the United States
The State OF South Carolina cooperating when tae
National sovereignty 10 he restored In South
Carolina Virginia and other Southern States. the
Judiciary will be extended 20 take care and dscrln
mate between those who were driven into
rebellion by bayonets and those who plotted
and organized treason. There was difference
between JEFF Davis and those starving and conscrpted
who entered the army, depending on II FOR then
daily bread. In conclusion he offered the following
substitute for the resolution of the gentleman from
Indiana:
