Tho expense OF printing the extra copies proposed
would DO less than $500 IL has been said the other
sidc that this an electioncering document and
document which affected the welfare OF the people was
or ought to b. IN scconcerpg or political document
because the people were entitled TO know what vas
goiug on We're the senators on the other side OPP
posed to this resolution because they were afraid the
people of the UnedStatcs would find out the TRUTH lie
then referred again to the constitution Of he state OF
Texas about which he had spoken on Saturday and
argued that the State had overthrown the system OF
public education and violated the pledge to stand
by that system. This action was takcn when tho
democracy, which was merely another name Tor or
ganlzcd rebellion in that State came INTO power II
that equality before the law, about which much
had been said recently in platforms and letters OF
ceptsnce it was high time the people OF the Un:ted
States who did not believe in humbugs, dcusons, and
hes should carefully consider tho subject He argued
that the people OF the South did not intend that tho
coIorcd man should make himself capable OF defending
hs rights. either IN tho forum or in the field. That

thc authorities there did wish these things they

ties and road from the Charleston Ne,cs and Courier
article IN regard to that affair Rssuming he argued
that IN the south the right Of the colood - have

doctrine. When The white men OF the south were III
the held lighting against the government and the col
ored mon loft ut home when the homes OF rebels
depended almost entirely ON the good will OF the coored
men alone, they were safe Senators in
this Senate Chamber. There menace then.
Ho did not want vengeance Tor all these crimes in the
6outn but he did wish to SEQ the calm majesty OF tho
law visited the operators OF these crimes There
was no instance stated yet in which the glorious de-
mocracy IN any State in the south had punished any
murdcrers who committed murders Tor political pur-
poses. i few lessons like that of Hamburg would be
sufficient to show she class Of men recently enfraa
chsed that they must not vote tor that party which
had given thcm liberty and their rights

gushed member, and which declared tho war Tor the
preservation OF the Onion failure
MT Morton said, in the course OF the debate on the
thirteenth amendment in the Senate, that Mr. Hen
bricks denied the power of Congress OF the people
Of the United States to abolish slavery by cons;u
tonal amendment
Mr. Edmunds, resuming, said, personally, he had
great respect tor tho democratic candidate for Vice
President but as he (Mr. Hcndrlcks denied the power
G Congress TO make these amendments, II he should
BY any accident get into the Presidential chair
you'd 20 the thirteenth amendment and all the others
Hc then read from the Journal of tho Senate TO the
ZION on fourteenth amendment and mentioned those

Wis Doolttlc. Guthrie, Hendricks, Johnson McDougall
Norton Riddle Salisbury and Van winklc Tho states

Every democratic State voted against these amend

rcpt the present situation, to give to everybody heir
constitutional rights The people were told and asked
10 believe that there had been sudden conversion OF
the democratic party. There were not many who
would believe that tale. The democrats had steadily
voted against all civil rights bills, and yet the country
