Senator Patterson was next introduced,
and said that the Republicans " New
deserved something more than
mere cougratulatlon, for they had achieved
a glorious Victory, not only for themselves
hut for the party throughout the country.
The Democrats In tbs recent campalgn id
their utmost to break the line Of Republi-
eau principles, and appropriated several
important planks OF tho Republican plat
form for tho Issues OF the contest. The
temperance people earnestly put forward
their candidates, aud tho Democrats pre-
scented the Interests Of tho lRborlng class.
It sounded we'll, but Il was not strong
enough.
Capital aud labor always 20 band In hand,
and in that platform they fought h out and
won the victory. Who did not know that
tho Republican party was tho party IL tho
great mass OF the pooplel Whence the pop
ular mAIorltlea which Its representatives
everywhere received. He predicted that by
their owl ttlcks the Democratic party had
been dlslntegrated 10 New Hampshire, aud
II the Republicans continued 70 labor as
earnestly In the future aa In the past, they
would ueverbe stronger than thoy were at
the last election.

Representatives Stevens aud Ella, and N. q.

i2i the loyal people OF the late rsGelllous
Senator ReVels was then introduced by
Mr.. George 7. Downing, aud said that Ii
afforded him great pleasure to meet them on
f sI. ! 9sss.sio9,. and rs. STpEssSsq Pts iasIt
listened RttentiVsly TO the resolutions, and
there was not = sentiment In them which he
did not heartily endorse. He held that Ii was
the duty OF this Congress Of the United States
to give the States lately In rebellion such
wise legislation as vii settle them on per
mRuent peace basis Bat these States would
mover be satisfied with q mild or moderate
policy. He could not approve tho Views Of
the Republican members OF Congress who
Sere urging q moderate policy. ThosS
! States should DO compelled TO respect Ih,
\ laws Of the United States, and nothing shor
OF n coereiye policy would suit that class o
| people.
As Congress had been alluded to In tn,
resolutions he would take occasion to "a,
that he did not entertain the slightest ami
mostly against the people OF the Southern
States, and Il would always be bis aim to b,
the truo friend OF all classes. He Wante,
always TO be on the side Of justice aud o
right, and he entertained only the kindlleI
feelings for the people of the whole country
| He wished everybody we'll, aud could MOI
sanction measures that were calculated Il
do Injury to others but he waited to see
Congress take hold OF things In the right
way, To settle the rebelllous States without
| mluclng matters, to wake up TO n sense Of
duty, TO a keen sense Of justice, and fully,
freely and in the most complete manner
once for nll TO settlo the question oflayal
submission to tho Government, for Il does
most emphAtieally poseesa the right to bring
Maynard States 70 their senses.
He next alluded TO The wonderful change
which had taken place In the political and
social stations OF the oolored people OF the
country. To-day they we're free, Enjoying
the blessings Of liberty and citizenship
throughout tue length and breadth OF the
Land. While four millions OF our people
were held In the nIost degrading slavery We
had no rights but that day has passed for-
ever. II was among the things that were
but are not. Give Lhanks 10 the great Ar
chltect Of the universe that our Star Span
gled Banner waves over free soil, free men,
free women and free children. Not only
were they free people, but were clothed
now with the privileges and rights OF free
citiIeus In free country.
They might recollect the doctrines OF the
Democratic party, which amer the over
throw OF slavery announced that the coll
ored meu now must DO Satisfied with thsir
liberty. But the great Republican party,
which was guided Into power 10 1885 by the
Invisible but mighty hand Of Just God, de-
clared In favor OF freedom aud equality for
all mankind Gradually bad the way been
prepared for the IFiniHph OF The afioenth
Arnendment, and he Iejalced to know that
the day was very near at baud when the
President would oniciRlly proclaim Its rRll-
ncAtlOn.
The speaker In conclusion said tho col
ored men Of the country, now armed with
the ballot, were prepared to prove their
claims to the prerogatiyes OF American cit
iEens. He congratulated his felloW-citiEens
on the great change which had taken place.
IL was but eleven years ago when he came
TO Washington, and while he was looking
Into the senate Chamber from one Of the
lobby doors, an officer came up aud asked
him what be was doing there--and was
ordered Out OF the building as an Intruder.

yelled national legislative halls been rent in
