NEGRO SUFFRAGE. in the House of Representatives, yesterday, after the morning hour, the consideration of the bill to extend suffrage in the District of Co- lumbia, by striking out from all laws and or- dinances the word “white,” was resumed. Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, said that there Was no purer patriotigm than that which be- longed to the party opposed to those in power, and he was willing to accord to gentlemen who advocated a radical change in the social fay a like honesty in the conviction of right. At the time of the adoption of the Constitu- tion of the United States, none were included Within the general terms of “people,” or »citi- zens,” but white people, and this tact had been solemuly decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, and that the Government was made for white men and women, and not for the colored race. Mr. eons 4 would not be guilty of an impro- priety, but he would ask the gentleman to men- tion the case. Mr. Rogers replied the Dred Scott case. Mr. Kelley asked the gentleman whether he ever heard of the distinction between the dic- tum of a judge and the decision of a court, and whether he would point out the facts on which be raised this question, or the language in which it was decided. His (Mr. Kelley's) rec- ollection was that whatone of the judges of the court asserted was what the gentleman now announced as the decision of the court And he (Mr. Kelley) affirmed that when the Constitution of the United States was adopted the free colored men of New Jersey and the States adjoining, and of all the States in the Union, excepting South Carolina, and proba- bly with the exception of Delaware and Vir- cinia. in which suffrage was regulated by tute and not constitutional provision, w citizens, and did vote for delegates to the con- vention that framed the Constitution, and did vote on the question of its adoption. He chal- lenged the production of any legal decision or any historical work to eontradict the assertion which he had made. Mr. Rogers replied, he made the assertion, and would prove that nota single judge dis- sented from the principle that in the Declara- tion of Independenee and in the Constitution the only intent was to include the white race as citizens. Mr. Kelley said the gentleman misappre- — the case, and asked what the court did decide. Mr. Rogers replied that the court decided, and every intelligent man who read the deci- sion would see, t Dred Scott was not a citi- zen of the United States, or of a State, and did not come within the political status of a State, and could not become a free citizen to prosecute in_any court of the United States. Mr. Kelley remarked the gentleman had not yet answered what was decided, put be (Mr. Kelley) would state that the court decided that it had no jurisdiction of the case before it, and therefore turned it out of court; and thus pro- claimed by & solemn decision that all the array of tacts was outside of the court, and had no judicial value. Mr. Rogers said that great sanctity was attached to the action of the Supreme Court by the gentleman and his friends when the court bowed to radicalism; but when the court nobly met the issue, and declared what was the law of the country, they then brand the court as usurpers, secessionists, and tyrants, and that their decisions are notentitled to consigeration. Mr. ona pen the gentleman was slightly mistaken. The Republican party of the coun- try stand by that decision. He had never heard a member of that party deny that the court decided in accordance with law when it decided that it had no jurisdiction in the case. The assault came from members of the other party, who say that though the cgurt had no jurisdiction, it did decide the infamous dogma which those gentlemen hold as their creed. Mr. Rogers repeated the court did decide that Dred Scott did not come within the juris- diction of the court, was nota citizen of the United States, and could not place himseif in @ position for action in the Federal courts. As to conferring suffrage on the negro, it was & monstrous doctrine, forcing equality at the ballot-box, side by side with the white race. No beg: — was heretofore announced by the ublican party. When the hour to which the gentleman was limited in debate expired, it was extended. Mr. Rogers in the course of his 5) h was interrupted by questions from members on the Republican side in relation to suffrage in the various States, and in conclusion, he farther Be ae his views against extending the privilege to negrops, asserting that experience and observation showed they were incompe- tent to its intelligent exercise. Mr. Farnsworth, of I11., said, if he recollected, the gentleman from New Jersey did all he could to embarrass the armies of the United States, and prevent the Government from sending reinforcements to their relief aud as- sistance in the field; and, among other are the gentleman voted against the passage of a bill providing for the speedy trial of the guer- even as to who sbould represent | apeen The gentieman protested against what e called the injustice of giving the black man the it to vote. The white soldiers, how- ever, did not object —o— the black man citizenship to every foreigner who enterea the army andrerved for one year. If thie privilege was conferred on those ignorant of our institutions, why should it be denied to ves of the land, and who for four years fought for the country. The restrictions on suffrage inghe States should not deter him from doing his duty towards the ye en man in this strict. inewering objections which heen, to the bill, he said the late clectien, pro- fersing to take the sense of the le on the eubject of negro suffrage, was one-«) anda mockery, only one part of the People voting, instead of all going to the polls. All the secessionists and sympathizers with rebellion, and Copperheads, voted on that oc. carion against the extension of suffrage Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, asked on what authority bis colleague made that charge. Mr. Farnsworth replied general repert. Mr. Mareball said it was very easy to make & general charge, and added he bi been in- formed that not one of the returned white sol- diers voted for negro suffrage. The charge was made without proof. Mr. worth re his declaration, And intimated that his colleague was a *eympa- — =a rebellion. r. Marshall said if his colleague charged that he sympathized with rebellion, be charged what was not true Mr. Farnsworth said those who made the Chicago platform in 1*64 did sympathize with the rebellion. Mr. Marshall—You already have my re- sponse. Mr. Farnsworth «aid, whether the Demo- <Talic convention intended it or not, they did sive aid and comfort to the rebellion; and, in further advocacy of conferring suffrage on the colored soldier, said the country would be «riminal if it did not grant it ‘The House adjourned. reife Affairs in Georgetown.
