Mr.. Cessor (coD wanted to know the

Mr.. Tucker said that the Governor had

| tons of these designing adventures, the
! problem of reconstruction would have been
com paratively of easy solution, and the VIC
/ races. acting in harmony, would have found
4 few obstacles to the establishment of good
government. under which the rights of all
persons would have been fully protected.
I'd. That the result of the recent election,
instead of showing that the eolored people
were not permitted 20 vote for men of their
own choice, as has been averred by his Excel
lency, affords positive aud gratifying proof
that they have freed themselves from the
mental slavery imposed upon them by
rulers whose legislation was framed for
purposes Of personal ggrandisement; and
whose public policy was fraught with dam
ger to the prosperity and liberties of the
people.
3D. That all insinuations. and charges. that
the people OF this State do not accept in
good faith, and do not intend, in good faith,
to carry out the letter and the spirit of the
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States; and that the white people of
this State desire, For Intend, to deprive the
colored people OF the rights guaranteed
them by the said amendments are untrue

ton that the State of Mississippi finds her
self IN the unfortunate situation of having
a Governor who has no acquaintance with
her people-no sym patty with their wants
and who finds it pleasant or deems it profit |
able, having the support of no party or
class, TO attack the good name of the peo-
pie, and endeavor to ALLEVIATE from them
heir national brethren.
9TH. That now, in this centennial wear of |
our common Government, the people of |
extend their hands to their
brethren OF the North, and calling up the
plrlt OF glorious past, express their hearty
ieslre that the differences which lately di-
'ided them may be forgotten, and reconcile

If the facts as stated in, the letter of
Miles, the convict in the Vermont Peni-
tertiary, can be substantiated by proper
evidence. 1t is clear that Babcock will
Eoon go to meet Joyce, Mcdonald, Avery
&C0. in q uniform not common among
officers Of the United States Army.
Miles. it win be remembered, positively
charges Babcock with being the origina-
tor Of the safe-burglary conspiracy in
order to fasten odium on Mr.. Alexander,
the prosecutor Of the Ring that was rob-
bing the District treasury. Miles may
not be a very reliable witness, but the
circumstances that he details make it

a defaulief to the amount OF S1,3O0,000,
and whom(after bis flight from the coun-

were now anxious TO have Mr..
Belknap punished and branded with
infamy; and yet it was proved
Eafterward that, instead of Swartout be-
ing detaulIer TO the Government, the
Government was indebted to Iin in
small amount. 1t was so In this in
stance. Everybody was anxious to have
the gentleman at the bar punished, and
especially his friends of she Huuse Of

They hau had very recent example
to show that legislative bodies are not
rntaliible, although they are composed
OF the wlsest, most virtuous, most dis

ter. Ii was but a few days since the
House fRepreseutativesto took up a man,
and without any jurisdiction, without
his being guilty of any offense, rushed
him into prison, and would not even
hear him in his own defense, and that
had been done by a House of Repre-
sentatives nearly all of the members
Of which had distinguished them
selves by their devotion to the great
principals Of human liberty, habeas
corpus, and the right OF trial by jury,

tisan zeal on the one side, and Of par.
tisan timdity on the other. When that
thing could be done by a House of Rep.
resentatlves SO illustrious, and filled
with 50 many very great and distin
guished men, 1T surely was not wrong fol
