SHELLABARQER. Clos'ng Speech on the Kn Klux veuverea pum o, ion Mr. BUELLA.BARQEH. Mr.Hpakcr I deal re, In cIosIdk this debate, to t&y to the Uouho a few lb Intra touchlnif the state of the Hepubllo that I did nut al lude to In opening uucuufe i nau not time; but It li that which has kept us here and that prompts tho tH'ort to pa; 6 this bill. They who oppose this measure, and deny the existence of auy cxt Ruucy demandlDK it, say the public anil persoual safety admirable. Oo the otlitr aide what is believed and what impels our action In must sparinglyex-prtBit-d by the mestage. when it siys that In certain States the collection of tho revenues of the United States i not flufe, and the Inability of such (States to protect the people without doubt. Now, sir. about this prectnely oppo site claim, touching a matter bo momentous as tho safety of the Government and iltt people, what Is tbo truth? U a Met nuo ttmt one so nine in its dimensions that nu-n can not see it May avnat Republic be penetrated and per vaded by banded, orgaDuea, arm a, and actUo mischief mischief approximating to war In Its force, approaching treason In lis purposes, and execullnu tnu;b munUr lu lit progress and yut the stupendous fact be a concealed one, about whose very exigence the Con gre&s of the Hcpubllc shall be for weeks convulsed with bouevt debatt? Mi. Speaker, this Btrunge qicsUun I mast aiiHwer, unner ine runs ot me no use, "ye becauxo did 1 oay "no ' I would attribute dishonesty to one or tho other party In this debate, for they aver things precisely opposite touching this strange bir, in the senate tho otnirr day an estimate was read from a careful, prudeut, just man or the South, setting down the aggregate of the American citizens marUend by this conspiracy since the war, at tlfty thousand. On the other side tho debato alleges that there nai not been one, bcciosc no Bucb con spiracy exists. Air. BpcaKer,oncoi me mnfliaiarimug fids connecting I tat If with this really grave state of a IT lira Is tula very one to which I now alluile, that this buge crime, absolutely mensclDg the existence of the States, and to enconoter which the armies of the Lulled S.ates are to day on their march, in, as to Its character at least, dented wholly, com pletely and unanimously by that great party whose Representatives on this floor are one hundred, and who repre sent thirteen million people. If, indeed, I it bo true that this vast combination i does pervade thene troubled States, and lr It hath the alms Its accusers say, then they who deny those, do by their denials give a protection to these horrid work ers In human murder of the same kind wMch their masks and the night do, and hi come partners In ttulr guilt. Place to a ether and scrutinize in the lights which each or these mcts, it they be fsctii, throws on the other. There are hut two of them short, simple, terri ble: one this: a t nded conspiracy In one-third of tho 8 lain of trained veteran soldiers, armed, treasonous and lm nllcsblc, and In numbers unknown, probably three hundred thousand, and their dead victims already tens of thousands; the other fact till : that the con-splracy In the Interest and lervlce of the Democratic party, lhtse two are the averments made on one side of the startling issue we try, and are wholly denied on tbo other. Stated In aootber way, the dnal allegation Is that the South and ruling ball of the Democratic party is now engagtd In tho business of overthrowing the pos lltlcal rights of the freed race and of all constitutions and laws securing them, and that the overthrow is slluctorliy progroslog under covir of the eight and the muk, aud of perjury, by means ofscourglngs, burnings, and butcheries, each adjusted, with Infernal skill, In the sci I es of their magnitude, to the atti.tr iberit of the end aimed at. And while this geson al the South the other half of the party are engagtd, hy their re pre-scntailves in the two llouw, in the bunlue'B of denying or di fending the vutt crimes, and In delivering oration-to uson the sacredoess of human rights, civil liberty, and the American ConnUm uuii! On the other side this alienation Is wholly, completely, dcnUd. 1 repeat, i!r, bow strange It seems that a ftct having such appalling proportions should bo averred if not tiue, or deuted If truef I s ia l, fir, not,o( couie even rn'er upun (be inquiry as to what the evidences are that thtan terrible combi nations do exist, nor ss to the extent of their crimes. Mr. Speaker, 1 have cot tho heart to even glance at the Bbutly troup of wit liaise that stalk by m, anil have, for now six years, gone by u tid mouth ing u lht the iionsiblllty of doubt 1 wholly I'lclililvl us lo Ilia ixljlnxo of tliu cousplracy aod ttiis Inimua.e num brROflta victim, naving ouw notbtoi; a. to Its declaim.

The disasters meant by It to be averted, aro inose included in too overthrow oi a race of American citizens, and to tbls end the overthrow of the Constitutions and laws, State, and national, made for Its protection. Sir, when the lonukdtlon we hold Is to find out what the designs of theue assassins really aro, aud what is the degree of coherence, of tenacity, ot life and cspiclty for protracted and organized mischief with which they are endowed, then, to leave oat of our view and count every link of tbls terrible chain but the last one, would ba In us, as men considering a measure or mere precaution and protection agalust the tleged and Impending mischief a lolly Inexpressible. I Invoke you, then, to take Into your scrutiny the whole line of these massacres and handed crimes, and as it goes on, from 1SU0, Increasing In volume until it bus now becom a river of blood, let u, I pray you, fled out right what tbls means. WHAT IT M3.VNB. Sir, I go for a few moments now to tho inquiry what it does mean. Is It tho mere result of "wai's desolation" and of its expiring passions, or of the lawlessness that to some extent It) fee Is every condition and part of our country. This Inquiry Into the llrst springs and sources of these couHplracles and into the purposes of their work is to us, as legislators, estimating the stale of public safety and in adopting measures of protection and redress, tne vital one. it Is the vital one because that 11 these disorders, which so appall ut be, Indeed, the aimless pastime of aesatHlns, who whin and kill fjr the sn jrt of It or tho money of It, then It if only assasalna- tlon on a scale enlarged to come up in dignity, to dimensions big enough to challenge the mirth o( such "K-publl- can" Jjurnals as the New York l'oat, and so stimulate Into unwonted bril liancy the wit at scemd'htnd of the Sentlcman (rora New York, Mr. Wood Hot, sir, II. on the other nana, tnu conspiracy has lis origin In political alms, and if Ihey aigalfy the overthrow, by means of violence, of the governments of States or of laws or Constitu tion of the United Slates, then, sir, this thine, J-ercJ at so In this Hall, sscapds In Its guilt to the rank of treason, ani Ha acts arise to tbe dluienslocs of WAn. Pause here a moment, legislators, and take into your estimates tbe difference, lo the indicated danger and tbe dilT:r encea in the resulting nieasurs of duty comlog thereby upon tbo congress, between these acts of vlolencu viewed aa results of tnero personal depravity of the perpetrators and viewed as having political alms, from tho very urst ors o your uovernment, iromtiieursi indeed ol every other where there Is enlightened law, thu same act o( associate J violence which la aimed only at the In- livldual as a man, may bave no greater belnonsuess tii.tu at.ss.ulc or riot; but inud at the Government, It becomee treason, and the punishment death. Or, take this : go oil' to tbe Jurisdiction of a rorelgn state. Tate, If you will, in numbers, an army of your people, and let them, one by one, fall victims to the assassin's knife, not because Americana, but for money or other private and personal causo, and your Government remains, as such, uutouclietl and mullon- ns. ilut, on tho other baud, let that llttio boy go around Iho globe; let him go unattended, poor, alone a servant of servant endowed with no other dig- ity than that ons which, In the day ol our prltlc, we were won't to think and talk of as abovo all oili-r earthly dignities, an American citlonshlp; and lel the balr of his head be but touched in Insult or Injury to b's rights as an merlcan cltlzeo.aud Instantly the pang goes straight to the mighty parent heart of the Itepulilic, and, quick as the leap of light, tho sword of tho nation that felt Ihe paug leaps into lue alr.audyour avles start oil and your armies start on in a procession that clrdlts the glolie with Ihn light of your Innners, and all lor that peor little boy 1 Or, take auother Illustration. Tliuogh the Assassinations aod banded rubbetles and violence of tho ltomau republic, having no political alms, were CJinmon as the hours, vet the atnate for these dangers suspended the operation of the laws almott never, iiut whet,, one night, a conspiracy was In the capita! against tho tinkers and au'borliy of the state, the senate rushed, before It was ay and wheu no drop of b ood wssshed lo Its chamber, an-l Inslaotly committed to the consuls alt power, and "enabled them to act In the manner they shonld think best fur tbe prtacrvatiou of the common wt-uuu. This distinction, which the laws and Government, ever mtka between Ibe measures lor redress or prevention ol crime dlrrctol against the State and those directed agskst private crimes, la not owing so mucn to tnetr difference In moral guilt aa It Is to the Immense ang mentation of danger lo all tho people which are Involved In consplraclea against or attacks upon the Uovcrn nient. Its laws, or Its clllcuusblp, as such. Keeping, then, lo mini these nloms of government these, the very Instinct. of national being look, itipreaenta. lives, to tho queailon, what do these conspirators mean T I answer, they mean me overthrow oi tne (quality, un der the Constitution and lu laws, of the enfranchised race. What reach Ihelr purposes have beyond this wlckxlcesa can not ho fully told to this House Ilut this much Is tore d upon the kuowl edge of them who with eyes dare see, or with ears dare hear, aud by proofs so terrible, aiarlpuff, and deadly In tbel conii. tenesa that It la more than ma I. nesa not to know it.

Here, lu the carefully prepared conclusions of a committee of tbe American Senate conclusions reached alter months of toll and from a volume of sworn evidence, tbo minority of tbe committee reach tbe same conclusions as the majority reach as to the fact that tbe disorders have a political origin and purpose, the difference being, In substance, that the majority hod It to originate In an aim at the overthrow of these reconstruction laws and tbe people and State governments they were dealgncd to protect, whllo tbe minority seem to conclude that the vlolenceis naturaland Just in resistance of wicked laws. It Is Impossible, Mr. Speaker, to overestimate the conclusiveness of tbe facts Bhown by the report of tbe Senate com-mlttee, or of the Inadvertent admission, on psgea 8 and 9, of the minority of the committee, as showlog that these massacres are part of an organized conspiracy to strike down tbe reconstruction laws, which are again and but yesterday declared by this report to the Senate "ur jusllllible and unconstitutional" by this minority lo the Senate. Why, air, think of the aonsi quences for a moment! These reconstruction laws sun dunounc In tbe Demucraao creed aa uncon stitutional," and so unjust, also, aa to Justify these murderous combinations lor meir overthrow, ti tney do unconstitutional, then so also are the State governments formed in virtue of them, and from this results the noosratlllca.

Mr. Speaker, the direct evidence fur- shed by this report that this organized murder is political and against the ne gro's rights of citizenship, aa found In tbo Scnuto report, Is wholly conclusive and absolutely appalling. I select from the volume and from other sources, two or threo examples, and state them In substantially tbe word, or the witnesses : Their obj'ct was the overthrow of tho reconstruction laws of Congress." (See page 10, Jamea K. Boyd, a Derno- raiic lawyer, and member ol the man ) Their oh ect was 'to restore theCon- .titution ss It wss before the war' and 'damage tho Henubllcan party as much as ih y could,' and thla by means of burning, stealing, whipping negroes and the leaning men (Republicans) it waB to murder."

ASOTIIEII AIIIIAY Of WITNESSES. Mr. Speaker, tbat I may make abso. lutely and utterly irrealstlble the proofs that ih'Bu banded conspirators have the political alms 1 attribute to them, lo wit. to "trample luto dust" these newly .cqulied rights o( the frt-edmcu and the coiistitutiuna and laws which confer them, 1 now call new and distinguished witnesses. Tsko tbls one llrst, tbat the Democratic party of thla nation, V.h of uly, IS'jo. In national piat:orm( formal. ly aud aolemuly auuuuuced tbo Idenll al principle which jame. . nuyn swears (page 1(1) was the foundation of tuis treasonous organization, to wit. hat "we regard tbe reconstruction acts (so called) of Congress, as such, as uaur. pations, and unconstitutional, revoiu nonary and void." Take next the fact that tbe uemncrai Ic parly voted In lbtW, casting 2,70o,lU votes, that theae reconstruction laws, upon the validity of which all these re constructed Sta'c governmenta depend, and also the validity, aa Democrat al lege, of tbe reccut amendments, to be usurpations, unconstitutional, aud void." Take aa the next fact that the Dem ocratic Stato platform of every Slate In thla Union, 1 believe, In succeeding conventions repeated this. Take aa the next f iclthat no platform or authoritative act of tbat pow, rfui party has, to this day, ever tlissnirmed this element of their national creed, Identical with the .worn creed of this kian of political assassins. Tdko this most alarming proof, I call It alarming because It come, so close home to the Uovernment1. great life It la a fact connecting lis. If with the very springs aud sourctsof the nation's lid ; for It Is fact f und In the solemn. sworu, olllclal action of tho people's Ite reseotativrs lu uongresa. it is tuat here, upon the 11th day of July, A. D 1H,0, and then again at the present ses sion, tbe DcnioCi'allc Hepresentallves voted, so far aa they ventured lo vote at all, "nu" upon the question whether the lourttcntb audllltuenlh amendments were binding aa parts of our Constitu tion. On the fonmr occasion thirty- two so voltd and at this .i.sluu seventy, live. llllOUIItt.lD l.RTTrll. But It may be allrged that this declar ation of the pIsKorm so voted for was only tbat the laws were 'uurpallona" and "void," and only proposed that they bederlarni so tnrougn tne consiuu llonal tncthoda of repeal by Congress or else through the court., and were not to lie overthrown by mrans of Ku Klux or oilier military or armed viuience. iiut, air, the history of that platform wholly excludes ns from the hope that Ibis was the meaning of the Infamous plant aud the vote In Ita fivor. The llrodhcart letter was written the (Mill of June, ItsilH, palpably as a bid by Mr. Uialr for vice rrsi,i,ni. f our days after Us author, on the tit nomina tion ot the traiitir wno uiscnargen at Sumter Ihe first Amrrlcau gun ever turned neon Ita owu ft 'I, waa nominated lor the otllco for which be ma-ie lbs bid anil hla letter to llrodbead Wis put In, and he, npon tho nattousl platform. And bow this p'.ank, declaring laws of L'onurias on whose vail, Illy depends the validity 'r the goverumenltof ten States ot this Union and i f these amendments securing liberty and equal oltla. nshln of the mluhty people, wss lo b.rarrlid Intoiff cl I. .nown by that m rtlilUius letter, In these wonts t "Tnero Is but one way to nature the Uovernment and the Constitution, and that In lor the I're-lilrnt elect to drclare these acts null and void, compel Ibe Ar my to undo lis usurpations at tbo Sou b, dl.iwraa the csriwt-bag Stats govern ,r,B, ,, " .,..-,"-.,-. ...... g.nire ihelr own tovcromrnie .nil elect Senator, and UiPrceenlallVM. Th. Bouse of Representatives will contain a malorlty of Democrats from tbe North. and tbey will admit the Representatives elected by the white people of the South, and, with tbe co-operation o'. the President, It will not be dlfu-ult to compel the senate to euomit once more to the obligations of tbe Constitution." And for tbls proposition, that a Demo cralic caucus hsd a right to commission Its ''President-elect" to "compel the Army" to "undo" these reconstruction laws, "disperse" the "governments" of ten "States" and "compel the Senate to submit," 3,703,249 Democrats voted In grace's year 1HU3! From that day to this, by no act of that great party, has It ever been hinted that tbat vote was either a crime, blunder, or error; but, on the other hand, they make tho letter's author, with a rcavowal of that letter's sentiments upon bis Hps, Senator or United Slates, a fit twin leader of their party In the Senate wl h Tburman, who holds the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments void. And, sec, from the oracles of the party which cast that vole for that letter wo are gathering wisdom here upon tbe dangers of military despo. tUm. Thla identical doctilne, tbat a Stato or a President may declare null and void and ordur the Army to trample iulu uust sucu acts or uongress as they may decide to be null and void, It was that Jackson, on tbe 1 lib of December, 1S3J, gave notice to Calhoun and his co conspirators that till tbey attempt Its execution It would bo tresson, and be met by war. For the attempt to put tbl. Identical doctrine Into execution Jackson died expressing his profound regret tbat be did not execute the warrant ho once bad written but to hang Calhoun nign as Iranian, "by tbo fjleroal." And for that thing which impelled Jackson to pnt Calbourn to death In 18311, 2,703,. 240 Democrats voted In 181)8. And, sir, what was tho effect of this license by this letter and platform atd caudidate to treat, by military force, these lawB antl governmenta as void usurpation.? Within twenty days, by the moon, from the day their bloody commission was promulgcd to them at New York tbe conspirators sprang eager to their "dance of death;" and Alamance, North Carolina, and Camilla, Ueorgla, and New Orleans, Louisiana, attest, by seals ayed deep with human blood, bow well their commission was executed lu sweeping Stales lor Seymour ann uisir. Here, sir, I must leave tbls frightful array cl proof, ilow profoundly do I wish that tbe proofs were not overwhelming that this most strange, unuat-ural, pitiless, but formidable cousplracy Is aimed at tbe overthrow of all tbe po lltlcal rights of four million of Iht American citizens, and of all constitutions and laws made for tbe defense of them. Mr. Speaker, In estimating tbe dinger arising uut of the political almso.' this conspiracy, and out of their Identity with tbe deslguB, toward the freed rsce, of the Democratic parly, I pray yoa uot to forget that It la not necessary we should assume they design lo bave war witu the Lulled states. 1 do not loluk Ihey cip.ct war. Tbey did not expect war, as 1 heard their leaders say In tbe Senate and House, when tbey bade adieu and defiance to tho Union lu these Halls. What they do propose Is pnclaely this: to go forward in the work of assassins- tlon and intimidation just so far and so long as soaii ne required to suppress the vo o of the Republicans of tho South. give to them tbe governments of the statoiandof the Colon, and this done, the Brodhead letter explains how tbry shall do tie rest If you reply to all this thst tbls sys tematized codu ot murder, adjusted to a political end, Willi design approaching a line art, aitributea to human nature more devilish wlckedncea than tbe world evtr saw. and Is wholly Incredi ble, 1 reply, Fort Pillow, Anderson-vilie !

If yon tell me tbat Ibese banded men ate loo few lo number and loo weak of nerve to attempt sgaln to defy the powers of the Uovernment to eulorce Its laws, I reply by pointing to their strength In this debate, and then reading to you tbe letter of your Secretary of Stale, dated lfUI, saying "It will be all over In ninety days," and then reading to you the alory which began at Sumttr and ended at Appomattox.

Mr. Spesker, I cannot go on, nor do I know bow to slop. 1 am confounded by the state of repose I aee in portions of the people In the prtsence of tbls huge and overmisterlng conspiracy which to menaces us. 1 challengs thu historians of the House and the country to tell me whero before waa II ever written down that any civil State had In It at all, even for an hoar, a conspiracy like thla r When before waa one permitted to live In the Stale aud gloat and fatten on tbe blood of tho Innocent antl helpless citizen, till, In Its Insatiate maw, It devoured tens of thousands f When before wss such a spectacle aeen and not one assassin convicted in tne courts or touched by tbe Government's little fin ger r Why, air, when the conspirators dashed 0ion tbe base of Pompey'a slstne Hie blood of "ibe llrst cllizm," the avenging people "pursued and hunted out the assassins over laud and sea, and rtsted not till there wss not a man li ft, either of those who dipped Ihelr hands In his blood or gave sanction lo Ihe deed:" and alter his chief murderer "lost the battle of Phlilppl, be killed himself with the aime usggrr Which he had made nse of against Catar.

And then to all the citizens alike, who must alike love and acrrnu the state, you gave alike tbe ballot tree.

SHELLABARQER. Clos'ng Speech on the Kn Klux veuverea pum o, ion Mr. BUELLA.BARQEH. Mr.Hpakcr I deal re, In cIosIdk this debate, to t&y to the Uouho a few lb Intra touchlnif the state of the Hepubllo that I did nut al lude to In opening uucuufe i nau not time; but It li that which has kept us here and that prompts tho tH'ort to pa; 6 this bill. They who oppose this measure, and deny the existence of auy cxt Ruucy demandlDK it, say the public anil persoual safety admirable. Oo the otlitr aide what is believed and what impels our action In must sparinglyex-prtBit-d by the mestage. when it siys that In certain States the collection of tho revenues of the United States i not flufe, and the Inability of such (States to protect the people without doubt. Now, sir. about this prectnely oppo site claim, touching a matter bo momentous as tho safety of the Government and iltt people, what Is tbo truth? U a Met nuo ttmt one so nine in its dimensions that nu-n can not see it May avnat Republic be penetrated and per vaded by banded, orgaDuea, arm a, and actUo mischief mischief approximating to war In Its force, approaching treason In lis purposes, and execullnu tnu;b munUr lu lit progress and yut the stupendous fact be a concealed one, about whose very exigence the Con gre&s of the Hcpubllc shall be for weeks convulsed with bouevt debatt? Mi. Speaker, this Btrunge qicsUun I mast aiiHwer, unner ine runs ot me no use, "ye becauxo did 1 oay "no ' I would attribute dishonesty to one or tho other party In this debate, for they aver things precisely opposite touching this strange bir, in the senate tho otnirr day an estimate was read from a careful, prudeut, just man or the South, setting down the aggregate of the American citizens marUend by this conspiracy since the war, at tlfty thousand. On the other side tho debato alleges that there nai not been one, bcciosc no Bucb con spiracy exists. Air. BpcaKer,oncoi me mnfliaiarimug fids connecting I tat If with this really grave state of a IT lira Is tula very one to which I now alluile, that this buge crime, absolutely mensclDg the existence of the States, and to enconoter which the armies of the Lulled S.ates are to day on their march, in, as to Its character at least, dented wholly, com pletely and unanimously by that great party whose Representatives on this floor are one hundred, and who repre sent thirteen million people. If, indeed, I it bo true that this vast combination i does pervade thene troubled States, and lr It hath the alms Its accusers say, then they who deny those, do by their denials give a protection to these horrid work ers In human murder of the same kind wMch their masks and the night do, and hi come partners In ttulr guilt. Place to a ether and scrutinize in the lights which each or these mcts, it they be fsctii, throws on the other. There are hut two of them short, simple, terri ble: one this: a t nded conspiracy In one-third of tho 8 lain of trained veteran soldiers, armed, treasonous and lm nllcsblc, and In numbers unknown, probably three hundred thousand, and their dead victims already tens of thousands; the other fact till : that the con-splracy In the Interest and lervlce of the Democratic party, lhtse two are the averments made on one side of the startling issue we try, and are wholly denied on tbo other. Stated In aootber way, the dnal allegation Is that the South and ruling ball of the Democratic party is now engagtd In tho business of overthrowing the pos lltlcal rights of the freed race and of all constitutions and laws securing them, and that the overthrow is slluctorliy progroslog under covir of the eight and the muk, aud of perjury, by means ofscourglngs, burnings, and butcheries, each adjusted, with Infernal skill, In the sci I es of their magnitude, to the atti.tr iberit of the end aimed at. And while this geson al the South the other half of the party are engagtd, hy their re pre-scntailves in the two llouw, in the bunlue'B of denying or di fending the vutt crimes, and In delivering oration-to uson the sacredoess of human rights, civil liberty, and the American ConnUm uuii! On the other side this alienation Is wholly, completely, dcnUd. 1 repeat, i!r, bow strange It seems that a ftct having such appalling proportions should bo averred if not tiue, or deuted If truef I s ia l, fir, not,o( couie even rn'er upun (be inquiry as to what the evidences are that thtan terrible combi nations do exist, nor ss to the extent of their crimes. Mr. Speaker, 1 have cot tho heart to even glance at the Bbutly troup of wit liaise that stalk by m, anil have, for now six years, gone by u tid mouth ing u lht the iionsiblllty of doubt 1 wholly I'lclililvl us lo Ilia ixljlnxo of tliu cousplracy aod ttiis Inimua.e num brROflta victim, naving ouw notbtoi; a. to Its declaim.

The disasters meant by It to be averted, aro inose included in too overthrow oi a race of American citizens, and to tbls end the overthrow of the Constitutions and laws, State, and national, made for Its protection. Sir, when the lonukdtlon we hold Is to find out what the designs of theue assassins really aro, aud what is the degree of coherence, of tenacity, ot life and cspiclty for protracted and organized mischief with which they are endowed, then, to leave oat of our view and count every link of tbls terrible chain but the last one, would ba In us, as men considering a measure or mere precaution and protection agalust the tleged and Impending mischief a lolly Inexpressible. I Invoke you, then, to take Into your scrutiny the whole line of these massacres and handed crimes, and as it goes on, from 1SU0, Increasing In volume until it bus now becom a river of blood, let u, I pray you, fled out right what tbls means.

Here, lu the carefully prepared conclusions of a committee of tbe American Senate conclusions reached alter months of toll and from a volume of sworn evidence, tbo minority of tbe committee reach tbe same conclusions as the majority reach as to the fact that tbe disorders have a political origin and purpose, the difference being, In substance, that the majority hod It to originate In an aim at the overthrow of these reconstruction laws and tbe people and State governments they were dealgncd to protect, whllo tbe minority seem to conclude that the vlolenceis naturaland Just in resistance of wicked laws. It Is Impossible, Mr. Speaker, to overestimate the conclusiveness of tbe facts Bhown by the report of tbe Senate com-mlttee, or of the Inadvertent admission, on psgea 8 and 9, of the minority of the committee, as showlog that these massacres are part of an organized conspiracy to strike down tbe reconstruction laws, which are again and but yesterday declared by this report to the Senate "ur jusllllible and unconstitutional" by this minority lo the Senate.

Mr. Speaker, the direct evidence fur- shed by this report that this organized murder is political and against the ne gro's rights of citizenship, aa found In tbo Scnuto report, Is wholly conclusive and absolutely appalling. I select from the volume and from other sources, two or threo examples, and state them In substantially tbe word, or the witnesses : Their obj'ct was the overthrow of tho reconstruction laws of Congress." (See page 10, Jamea K.

ASOTIIEII AIIIIAY Of WITNESSES. Mr. Speaker, tbat I may make abso. lutely and utterly irrealstlble the proofs that ih'Bu banded conspirators have the political alms 1 attribute to them, lo wit. to "trample luto dust" these newly .cqulied rights o( the frt-edmcu and the coiistitutiuna and laws which confer them, 1 now call new and distinguished witnesses. Tsko tbls one llrst, tbat the Democratic party of thla nation, V.h of uly, IS'jo. In national piat:orm( formal. ly aud aolemuly auuuuuced tbo Idenll al principle which jame. . nuyn swears (page 1(1) was the foundation of tuis treasonous organization, to wit. hat "we regard tbe reconstruction acts (so called) of Congress, as such, as uaur. pations, and unconstitutional, revoiu nonary and void." Take next the fact that tbe uemncrai Ic parly voted In lbtW, casting 2,70o,lU votes, that theae reconstruction laws, upon the validity of which all these re constructed Sta'c governmenta depend, and also the validity, aa Democrat al lege, of tbe reccut amendments, to be usurpations, unconstitutional, aud void." Take aa the next fact that the Dem ocratic Stato platform of every Slate In thla Union, 1 believe, In succeeding conventions repeated this. Take aa the next f iclthat no platform or authoritative act of tbat pow, rfui party has, to this day, ever tlissnirmed this element of their national creed, Identical with the .worn creed of this kian of political assassins. Tdko this most alarming proof, I call It alarming because It come, so close home to the Uovernment1. great life It la a fact connecting lis. If with the very springs aud sourctsof the nation's lid ; for It Is fact f und In the solemn. sworu, olllclal action of tho people's Ite reseotativrs lu uongresa. it is tuat here, upon the 11th day of July, A. D 1H,0, and then again at the present ses sion, tbe DcnioCi'allc Hepresentallves voted, so far aa they ventured lo vote at all, "nu" upon the question whether the lourttcntb audllltuenlh amendments were binding aa parts of our Constitu tion. On the fonmr occasion thirty- two so voltd and at this .i.sluu seventy, live. llllOUIItt.lD l.RTTrll. But It may be allrged that this declar ation of the pIsKorm so voted for was only tbat the laws were 'uurpallona" and "void," and only proposed that they bederlarni so tnrougn tne consiuu llonal tncthoda of repeal by Congress or else through the court., and were not to lie overthrown by mrans of Ku Klux or oilier military or armed viuience. iiut, air, the history of that platform wholly excludes ns from the hope that Ibis was the meaning of the Infamous plant aud the vote In Ita fivor. The llrodhcart letter was written the (Mill of June, ItsilH, palpably as a bid by Mr. Uialr for vice rrsi,i,ni. f our days after Us author, on the tit nomina tion ot the traiitir wno uiscnargen at Sumter Ihe first Amrrlcau gun ever turned neon Ita owu ft 'I, waa nominated lor the otllco for which be ma-ie lbs bid anil hla letter to llrodbead Wis put In, and he, npon tho nattousl platform.

Th.

And for tbls proposition, that a Demo cralic caucus hsd a right to commission Its ''President-elect" to "compel the Army" to "undo" these reconstruction laws, "disperse" the "governments" of ten "States" and "compel the Senate to submit," 3,703,249 Democrats voted In grace's year 1HU3! From that day to this, by no act of that great party, has It ever been hinted that tbat vote was either a crime, blunder, or error; but, on the other hand, they make tho letter's author, with a rcavowal of that letter's sentiments upon bis Hps, Senator or United Slates, a fit twin leader of their party In the Senate wl h Tburman, who holds the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments void. And, sec, from the oracles of the party which cast that vole for that letter wo are gathering wisdom here upon tbe dangers of military despo. tUm. Thla identical doctilne, tbat a Stato or a President may declare null and void and ordur the Army to trample iulu uust sucu acts or uongress as they may decide to be null and void, It was that Jackson, on tbe 1 lib of December, 1S3J, gave notice to Calhoun and his co conspirators that till tbey attempt Its execution It would bo tresson, and be met by war. For the attempt to put tbl. Identical doctrine Into execution Jackson died expressing his profound regret tbat be did not execute the warrant ho once bad written but to hang Calhoun nign as Iranian, "by tbo fjleroal." And for that thing which impelled Jackson to pnt Calbourn to death In 18311, 2,703,. 240 Democrats voted In 181)8. And, sir, what was tho effect of this license by this letter and platform atd caudidate to treat, by military force, these lawB antl governmenta as void usurpation.? Within twenty days, by the moon, from the day their bloody commission was promulgcd to them at New York tbe conspirators sprang eager to their "dance of death;" and Alamance, North Carolina, and Camilla, Ueorgla, and New Orleans, Louisiana, attest, by seals ayed deep with human blood, bow well their commission was executed lu sweeping Stales lor Seymour ann uisir. Here, sir, I must leave tbls frightful array cl proof, ilow profoundly do I wish that tbe proofs were not overwhelming that this most strange, unuat-ural, pitiless, but formidable cousplracy Is aimed at tbe overthrow of all tbe po lltlcal rights of four million of Iht American citizens, and of all constitutions and laws made for tbe defense of them. Mr. Speaker, In estimating tbe dinger arising uut of the political almso.' this conspiracy, and out of their Identity with tbe deslguB, toward the freed rsce, of the Democratic parly, I pray yoa uot to forget that It la not necessary we should assume they design lo bave war witu the Lulled states. 1 do not loluk Ihey cip.ct war. Tbey did not expect war, as 1 heard their leaders say In tbe Senate and House, when tbey bade adieu and defiance to tho Union lu these Halls. What they do propose Is pnclaely this: to go forward in the work of assassins- tlon and intimidation just so far and so long as soaii ne required to suppress the vo o of the Republicans of tho South. give to them tbe governments of the statoiandof the Colon, and this done, the Brodhead letter explains how tbry shall do tie rest If you reply to all this thst tbls sys tematized codu ot murder, adjusted to a political end, Willi design approaching a line art, aitributea to human nature more devilish wlckedncea than tbe world evtr saw. and Is wholly Incredi ble, 1 reply, Fort Pillow, Anderson-vilie !

OKI, ami uiso Hiving otuera, I'oder It the rebellion, and soma who In this Halt throw bvl aitj-cttvea at the P., al lien', were put down. And, sir, when that law was bclig passnl, 1 .t..ntd brre to lite s.iino impotent expletives, delivered by the same Democratic parly, against the same sort of enactment ai.d Irom the tame benches. 1 then heard agalrsl thai ael, that pit', their treason down.andsgiln it Mr Lincoln, from Ibis same party throughout Ihe North, tint the act wss the "essence of desp.itistn," and thst Lincoln, who was to eulorce It, waa a Uispot, tyrant, monster, mounte bank, ape, maw, nero, Caligula, usurp tr, and assassin. Now, In tbe presence of hla great shade tuese mouthers or liters ry excrement, against him atand un covered and worshipful. The country aod this side of the House have become to tbia species of Democratic deoate thoroughly Inured, aud tbey must ex cuse us ir we omit to either answer the argument or be penetrated by lu shaft. And now, fellow Republicans, may I, In this my conclusion, turn to you t I ad. dress you not as an adviser, for the pre sumption would be wholly unpardon ablet nor aa a stimulant to discbarge o duty, for tbat presumption would be still worse. Bat 1 turn to you as tbe humblest In one brotherhood msy turn to take counsel with bis brothers. In that spirit may 1 ask myself and you what tbe duty la to our again betrayed country and Ita bleeding children which tbls hour ban brought to myself aud you f That the revenues of the Republic csnnol be collected, because a msB- terlng conspiracy forbids it. we are told by him whom the Constitution makes to swear tbat be will take care tbat tbe laws shall be executed; that tbe malls ot tins uovernment cannot be safely carried, because tbia Incipient tresson loroios it; mat tne states cannotderend the people, because Ibis treason i. so strong as to forbid it; that that race their men and their women sod their little ones become, by act of God, the wards of the nation as well as lis citi zens, Is perishing away under tbls new and Immense muruer; that the armies of tue uepuoiic are marching back to Sum ler! And, then, you are told by the a resiueui mat toe suiiiclency or the laws for tbe appalling emergency Is not sure. Can you go tiff and not make it sure? Republicans, your party his bad a blatory tbat la tbe very miracle of history. Into It. life not two decades long are crowded a constellation of epochs enough to make resplendent with glory whole centuries of common yesrs. Under Uod, you first rescued from the bllgbt of spreading slavery whole em- plres, to bo tbe borne, of families of states, and thla through the blood aod agonies of Kansas. Then yonr suffrsgc put into tne teat or VYathlnglon bis only compeer In tbe history of republics and hi. only companion In tbe niche of fame. Tben you made this District. seat of tbe nation', political majesty, tree, i oeu you rescued, al the cost at a million of ita children, tbe nation's life and made it Ires. Tben you made tbe Constitution from the pollution of slavery free. Then you made tbe civil rights of all tbe nation's children, In IU grtat organic law, equal, and, being equal, also free. And then to all the citizens alike, who must alike love and acrrnu the state, you gave alike tbe ballot tree. Tbls done, tbe Republic saved free, you girded the continent with the channels of commerce for the world, aud baveextinguiabed In two yrara nesr a tithe of the Immense debt which rescued tbe life of tbe nation from unutterable rnin. Is not tbl. brief alory tbe msrvel of msiorjr ins man who were aclora In the drama came up In wisdom and In blgh resolve to the stern and terrible de mands of doty which each hour, preg nant wnn ine lutes and lortunea of the agrs, brought. You are auccessors to their duties and tbelr power. Realize tbat all these achievements of your val or, mess purchases or your blood, these safeguards of your liberties, ara sgsln murderously meosced by an Incipient rebellloo, banded and .worn for their assassination. We are tbe denosltsrles ol the nation's charities. Intrusted by the Constlmtioo for bestowal npon those disabled by their recentcrlme from hold Ing lis power; and we havo bistowtd these char li lis with wanton profusion' We also hold the bolts which the nation has for tbe blasting of the returning treason, and, In tbe name of your again iienrea ana msnitea country, 1 nemsnd tbat yoa give the President power to strike tbe consplrscy Instantly dead. 5 s It l 8 0 "4 w o 2DD I 32 M i "l. h 15 85 2 Z 023 ' SIC Sf 0 r. 1 n "a H d o 2 H 5 O a & O co O M 93 M 7 SJS 5 U o n It M tr it 8 35 1 O O RANKS!
