The stale story, which JOHNSON
has so often repeated, that the rebels

revamped and rehearsed. Oh yes,
the rebels have right to sit in judg-

The rebels Of the South have the nat

Ours is republican government, and

Mr.. Pixies Speech.

We give our readers the speech made
by our representative, Mr.. Pike, in the
House. JAN. 9th, upon the state of affairs in
the insurrcctionary states.
The three modes of dealing with these
states are srceinctly stated, and then the
effect of the adoption of each of the plans
proposed is as clearly stated. We like
the graphic and short hand way of stating
these propositions, and also the pointed
and equally concise manner of Indicating
what will Ne the effect of the adoption o /
each of these plans. 1T is not worth
While to waste words upon the Presidents
policy. 1t is res aiiu{icata,' says Mr.
Pike. This is all that need be said on this
plan because every body admits that the
Executive plan is a dead failure.
II has been aljudicated upon and con-
demned. Aud if it were not in the cl, Arrest
manner settled at the fall elections. subse
quent events. and the further evidence OF
the temper of the Southern people, have
closed the last remaining hope of success
III that line of policy. The Democratic
politicians have ignored the President and
his policy. The old heads in that organ
ization want no more dead weights attach
ed to their party. They have no love for
man that don't succeed They want a
man to lead them up into popular favor
and they think the President is not the
man to TO it.
The plan that Mr.. Pike favors, is to let
Congress provide for a convention to frame
Constitution to be submitted to Congress
for its approval. Not submit it to the dis
loyal inhabitants of the State but to Con
gress. But who shall vote for delegates
to the Convention This must be rcgu-
lated by Congress. or else the men who
will meet will be arrant rebels. 1t is evil
dent that to Congress this whole matter is
reunited and under that clause which says,
Congress shall guarantee 10 every state
in the Union republican form of govern
ment, and the force of circumstances. Re-
bellion has changed the status of the peo-
pie in these states. 1t is not SO clear that
territorial governments would not answer
a good purpose; but if the one proposed
is the better one, let that be adopted.
