Mr. STEWART. Because the other was named; this was not. The other was named in the leadings upon which we went to trial and foug it it out; this is an issue outside of the pleadings, one that was not named, and consequently not as much a verdict of the war. That is the reason. But, sir, I contend thatit is not necessaryto call in the aid of the black man to the government of this country. I do not pretend to say that he shall not at some future time have the right of suffrage under restrictions. But when he shall receive it, it will be for his benefit, not ours. I believe the AngloSaxon race cangovern this country. I believe it because it has governed it. I believe it because it is the only race that has ever founded such institutions as ours. I believe it because we have a peculiar situation, peculiar education, peculiar qualifications which are not common to other sections or other races of the world. I believe the white man can govern it without the aid of the negro; and I do not believe that it is necessary for the white man that the negro should vote. If he ever does vote, it will be simply as a boon to. him. I think we can carry on the Government without him. I think we have had abundant proof of that. Inasmuch as this was not a part of the verdict of the war; inasmuch as I do not believe it to be necessary for the preservation of the Union, but will endanger our national existence, I am for the Union without negro suffrage, butI am notiu favor of turning the negro overto oppression in the South. I am in favor of legislation under the constitutional amendment that shall secure to him a chance to live, a chance to hold property, a chance to be heard in the courts, a chance to enjoy his civil rights, a chance to rise in the scale of humanity, a chance to be aman. I am in favor of this because we are pledued to doit. We have given him freedom, and that implies that he shall have all the civil rights necessary to the enjoyment, of that freedom. The Senfrom Illinois has introduced 2 bills, wed and carefully prepared, whichifpassed by Congress will give tull and ample protection under the constitutional amendment to the negro in his civil liberty, and guaranty to him civil rights, to which we are pledged. Sir. we have done something for the negro. The Senfrom Ohio so a the negro has saved us. Has not the negro ha some sacrifices made for him I Was not his liberty a part of the issue involved in this war? Have not 100s of 1,000s of white men fallen to vindicate that issue? Do not the desolated homes and orphans and widows throughout the North proclaim the sacrifice that hasbeen made for the negro? Do they not proclaim a sacrifice such as no one race ever may c for another before? What race since the foundation of the earth, ever sacrificed the monev, the lives, and the peace of a great country or the elevation of another, as the Americans have done? They have guarantied to him his freedom under the constitution, and I say it is the part of practical wisdom to pass such bills as are necessary to secure to him his freedom but if there is a chance to have union, if there is a chance to restore the South, I am not willing to wait until we can tear down the State governments that have been built up during the last summer in the South, until we can revolutionize things again, for the purpose of giving the negro the right of suffrage.
