A Democratic speech.

On the 18th instant, a resolution was
offered in the Pennsylvania House of Rep
resentatives, by Mr.. Kleckner, of Phila-
delphia, endorsing the action of the u. S.
Senate in reinstating Hon. Edwin NJ.
Stanton as Secretary of War. The reso-
luton ultimately passed. During its prog
ress through the House, large number
of members took advantage of the occa-
sion to ventilate their oratory en- subjects
of National import. Among others who
delivered themselves Of speeches, was
Cambria county's representative, Col. LIN
ton, who deliberately, if not Indignantly,
placed hims elf on record as opposed TO the
resolution. Mr.. Linton's speech in this
connection is highly lauded by the Free
man as ga most scathing rebuke of" &c.
We have carefully looked over the speech,
and must confess that we are able to find
nothing especially scathing in it-uothing
wherein iG essentially differs from the
great volume of commonplace Democrat
ic oratory.
An analysis of Mr.. Linton's effort gives
about the following propositions:
l. The rebel General Lee was an able
general, courageous general, mastery
general.
2. The Democratic party are the only
true and steadiast supporters of the Con-
stitution.
3. The reinstatement Of Mr.. Stanton
was unconstitutional.
4. Mr. Stanton was and is a poor pat
riot and bad man.
That's the old, old story. During the
war, we were told by the Democrats
l. That General Lee was so able gen.
eral, he could not be oVerthroyn.
2. That the Democratic party, even
while afording treason all the aid and
comfort in their power, were the only true
and steadtast supporters Of the Constitu-
ton.
3. That the prosecution of the war for
the Union vas unconstitutional.
4. That Dir. Stanton was the Jonah of
the Republic, without whose immolation
we would never have peace.
"History is not yet written Mr..
Linton takes care to impress upon his
hearers and readers. But history ia at least
made, and when it comes to be written,
it will be found that the record of the
Democratic party will occupy the black
est page of the book. All the Democrat
ic oratory Of century cannot affect that
decree.

We have received the annual report of
the Managers of the Pennsylvania Insti-
tuition for the Instruction of ths Blind,
from which We observe that one hundred
and eighty-three persons are at present
supported by the institution. OF this
number, one hundred and ffty-seven are
from Pennsylvania, twenty-one from
New Jersey, two from Delaware, and
three from other places. Thirty-two of
this number support themselves wholly,
or III part, as assistant teachers, or in the
work department, five are paying pupils
in full, eleven in part, and eight are day
pupils. Goods to the amount of sixteen
thousand eight hundred and sixty-fve
dollars and forty-one cents have been
manufactured during the past year. The
sales of goods in the past year have
amounted to twenty thousand six hundred
and sixty-two dollars. and seventy cents
The goods on hand at the date of this
report, amounted to FIVE thousand six
hundred and ffty-two dollars and thirty
eight cents; aud the raw material on
hand is estimated at two thousand nine
hundred and sixty-three dollars and eight
cents. The report is exceedingly inter-
esting, and proves, beyond doubt, that
this useful charitable Institution continues
to be properly managed.

SUBJoINED is an extract from Senator
Morton's great speech m reconstruction,
delivered in the u s. Senate on Friday
last
"Mr. President, the column of recon
struction, as [ before remarked, has risen
single stone. 1t ia composed of many
blocks, painfully laid up and put together,
and cemented by the tears and blood OF
the nation. Sir, we have done nothing
arbitrarily. We have done nothing for
punishment-ay, too little for punishment
Justice has not had her demand. Not
man has yet been executed for this great
treason. The arch fend himself is now
at liberty upon bail No man is to be
punished; and now, while punishment
has gone by, as We all know, we are
insisting only upon security for the future.
We are simply asking that the evil spirits
who brought this war upon US shall not
again come into power during this gene
ration, again TO bring upon US rebellion
and calamity We are simply asking for
those securities that we deem necessary
for our peace and the peace Of ou- poster
ity. Sir, there is one great difference
between this Union party and the so-caled
Democratic party. Our principles are
those of humanity; they are those of
justice they are those of equal rights
they are are principles that appeal to
the hearts ard the consciences of men
while on the other side we hear appeals
to the prejudice of race against race.
The white man is overwhelmingly in the
majority in this country, aud that major
ity is yearly increased by half million
of white men from abroad, and that ma
jority gaining in proportion from year to
year until the colored men will finally be
but handful in this country and yet We
hear the prejud;ces Of the white race
appealed to to crush this other race, and
to prevent it from rising to supremacy
and power. Sir, there is nothing noble,
there is nothing generous, there lie moth
ing lovely, in that policy or that appeal.
How does that principle compare with
ours? We are standing upon the broad
platform of the Declaration of Indepen.
dence. that fall men are created equal !;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. We say that these
rights are not given by laws J; arc not
given by the Constitution but they are
The gift OF God to every man oorn into
tie world Oh, Sir, how glorious is this
great principle compared with the inhu-
mani might say heathenish-appeal to
the prejudice of race against race; the
endeavor further to excite the strong
against the weak the endeavor further
to deprive the weak of their rights of
protection against the strong :"
