FoRoIBLE.-The speech Of Hon. Thad.
Stevens in closing the debate on the recon-
struction amendments contains this passage
Now, sir, for my part, l avn willing they
should come in when they are ready. Do
not, | pray you, admit those who have
slaughtered half million of our countrymen
until their clothes are dried, and until they
are re.clad. | do not wish to sit side iby
side with men whose garments smell Of the
blood of my kindred. Gentlemen seem to
forget scenes that were enacted here years
ago. Many Of you were not here. But my
friend from Ohio Mr.. Garheld) ought to have
KEEP. up his reading enough to have heen IA
miliar with the history OF those days, when
the men that you propose to admit occupied
the other side of the House, when the mighty
Tooms, with his shaggy locks, headed the
gang who, with shouts of defiance on this
floor, rendered this a hell of legislation.
All, Sir, it was but six years ago when they
were here, just before they went out to join
the armies Of Cataline, just before they left
this Hall. Those of you who were here then
will remember the scene in which every
southern member, encouraged by their allies,
came forth in one yelling body, because a
speech for freedom was being made here,
when weapons we're drawn, and Barksdale's
bowie-kniie cleaned before our eyes. -
Would you have these men back again so
soon to re-ensct those scenes Wait until |
am gone, ! pray you. / want not to go
through il again. IL will be but a short time
for my colleague to wait. hope he will not
put us to that test"
