refuse 20 admit them, and tell them
they NAV stand around on the out
side. like 4 poor relative at q dinner
party. anu we will show them thing
or two. The war was wa~ed for
the purpose of fostering and perpe-
tuating the institution Of slavery, on
the part of the South, i'm violation of
the Constitution and the laws Of the
land; the North took up arms to
vindicate tho sovereign integrity of
the National Government, and not
with the sole explicit purpose of
crushing slavery. That end was,
however, compassed incidentally for
when its cxpedicncy became ap-
parent, as a momentous and impera,
tive war measure, it was consum-
mated with the hearty approval and
coincidence of every loyal man.
But there is a class Of fanatics aud
incendiaries-as there always has
been-and it is class Of no mean
magnitude who would force us to
believe that the emancipation of the
negro was the sole and simple result
sought for at the outset; that that
consideration was pre.eminent and
paramount to that of Union or any
thing else. In the triumph Of the
Union cause they have secured a
foothold, and they are now seeking
to cmbarrass and paralyze the efforts
of the Administration at a re-adjus:-
mcnt, with the most mcrcenary and
malignant designs. The Southern
States acquiesced in the result, CON-
Piled with our demands, and now
thcy arc told to await our arbitrary
pleasure as to their disposition. We
gave them the abolition amendment
to the Constitution, the bitterest and
most nauseating pill that could be
presented to them, and told them to
ratify it and by that act we disarmed
ourselves, by virtually admitting
them to commoa basis. Without
the cooperation of the Southern
States the amendment could not have
been made effective, and by their
unqualified recognition III the exer-
else ofa sovereign voice upon Ma
tional measure Of the most stupen.
dous interest, they are virtually and
essentially entitled to all the rights
of fellowship. They ratified under
the full conviction that the act would
remove all obstacles from the avenue
of their admission-and in the name
of consistency, we ask did it not:
and were they not officially rccog-
nized by seward as States ?-and now
they are told to keep quiet while we
discuss the expcdiency of reducing
them 20 a subjugated and subordin-
ate condition. And this is recon-
struction this is fraternity and con-
ciliation this is harmony and unity.
