Mr. DONNELLY. I am proud to say that I not only voted for it, but that I drew the resolution which was)assed by the Republican State convention of viniiesota, indorsing that doctnno 5 and that I canvassed 2/3rds of the territory of that State in behalf of it, and, thank God, I am ready to do so again tomorrow. Pass the amendment I have proposed, and the freedmans Bureau will not on y protect the negro now but give him the means of selfprotection hereafter. Without this the ballot is a useless, perhaps aernicious, instrument in his hands. Without this your bureau will be buta temporary relief, and in a short time the negro will relapse into oppression. Educate him and he will himself see to it that common schools shall forever continue among his people; and in doing him an act of justice you will increase the safety of the nation forever. Let not the objection of expense be made. No outlay is too great which is necessary to the safety of the people, since in that is involved all the wealth of the country. It isa madmans economy to save money by rendering the people unfit for selfgovernment and then lose allin the misgovernment which is sure to follow. niversal education must o hand in hand with universal suffrage. Either alone will be unavailing; together fliey will create the might iest Government and the ablest race the world has ever known. If you pass the amendmentIhave offered, the Freedmans Bureau becomes an instrumentality of more good than was ever before achieved in the world by any merely human agency. Its influence will be greater than even Jeffersons famous ordinance, which gave to freedom the Northwestern Territor and who shall count the results yet to flow from that. great measure? A thoroughly educated negro population in the South means a white population forced into education through more shame; it means an intelligent, and necessarily, a loyal people; it means industry, prosperity, morality, and religion everywhere; a land rejoicing in wealth and glorious with liberty.
