SPEECH OF EX-GoF LioN' q,
Fx-Goy. A. J. Hamilton OF 1exas mace
sneech at Austin on the 18th instant. He
Slid that the leaders of Secession ought TO
have been punished. He would not hanged
snyhody. but confscation and punishment
he would have approved, The leaders ought
tn he disfranchiscd-every man who held
an Office under the Confederacy should be.
The Reconstruction acts, properly construed,
would not exclude from suffrage over 5000
in Texas. He rejected the idea that the
State Government and laws existing in
Texas during Secession were null and void
NIB initio, and ridiculed those who contended
that they were. He gave the feedmen some
wholesome advice. He told them not to
come forward for Office just now. They
had an equal right with the white man to
run tor office, but it would injure the Re
publican party They were free; they were
protected by the laws; the right OF suffrage
had been extended to them and they ought
to be content with what they had got
They should work, and conduct themselves
so well as to remove all prejudice against
them. He warned them against any conduct
on their part which would produce war OF
races, as this would inevitably bring on their
ruin and extinction.
