In his speeches apd letters elsewhere Mr, Stevens again and again, in stronger language, avows the real purpose of this legislation; to them I mainly refer. The negroes, under the tutilage of the Freedmen’s Bureau, led by radical emissaries, or pushed by federal bayonets, must take the political control of these States in order to obtain their votes in the Electoral College or in the House of Representatives in the election of the next President. Here is a reason, and just such a reason as the bold radical would give. It isin keeping with his revolutionary measures, and in keeping with his own revolutionary history.’ The letter of General Pope, when in command of one of the districts, recently pub- lished, draws aside the veil and discloses the fact that the same purty purpose seeks to control the bayonet also, argument for party ascendancy al! can on tand. bold, clear and logial, It is the argument of necessity addressing itself to unscrupulous ambition, Upe syllogism contains the whole of it. “We must,” says radical, ‘The negroes, under the lead of our bureau or the control of our bayonets, will vote for our candidate, The whites, outraged by our attempt to put the negro over them, will voto against him. Therefore the bayonet mut place the negro in power in these States to give us seventy electoral votes for President, twenty Senatora and ftty members of the House,” The Senator from Massachu- setts (Mr, Wilson), as if by authority, says, “We will take no step backward.” Mr. Colfax, in his recent letter, re-echoes, “Not # hair’s breadth.’ Such, J fear, is the fatal resolution taken by the ima- jority, The result of the recent electious, showing that a majority in the Northera and Western Statos is ‘opposed to that policy, so far from changing @ resoiution from which the radical party dare not retreat, !s push- ing it on to the madness of des} It sees’ that its majority in tho North and West is already lost. t exclude the South i th lection.

After replying to Mr. Doolittie’s plea for the suffering at the South by contrasting it with the consequences the war had brought on the North, he said that during the war he had favored making rebellion odious by meting out to rebels the treatment they gave to loyalists South by confiscation and otherwise. Now, however, he favored restoring them, with the exception of the lead- ers, toan equality with other citizens, allowing them even to vote, perhaps all of them,'though not all to held office.

Mr. TrowpuLi went on to speak of the hesitation with which the Snpreme Court had first concluded they had aright to doclaro an act of Congress unconstitutional, Independent of political questions he thought that less than a majoriiy or two-tbirdy of the whole court should never be permiited (o pronounce an act unconstitutional by reason of repugnance to the constitotion.
