~ nink, Mr.. President, that
the experience Of the last eighteen
monlhs has brought the Congress
o. the United States to the point
that We should declare that We &C
eept Of the legal consequences Of
the doctrine Of reconstruction. l
know the common idea was, with
out consideration, a year and a
half ago, that when these States
we're once admitted, or, If you
please, restored to representation,
they passed entirely from under
the jurisdiction Of Congress and
we we're done with them. Sir,
that was illogical, and experience
has now shown that doctrine.
We must EolloW the doctrine fre
construction TO its consequences,
and, If necessary, pe must deal
nth thee States after they hare
been re.GdmittCd."
The Radical party is now ready
to tear aside the veil of mock and
Himsey honesty with which it has
attempted to conceal many Of lis
atrocities, and it begins to fee
now that It has sufficiently thrct.
tied the government to be able tC
express its plans and purposes
freely. It has possession of every
department Of Government. l
has brow. beaten and frightened
the Supreme Court TO such an ex
tent that It dare not give a verdic
to change any act Of this Radica
Congress. In Congress it has
large majority, sufficient to cnabl'
It 10 carry any measure whicl
may be deemed requisite
