Mr. DIXON. I meant to say, and I now refpeat, that even in such a body as the Senate of the U.S., words of wisdom like these might have their effect. I certainly would be the last person to reflect on the senate, or to reflect on the committee, but I suppose I have a right to say that I do not think the report of the committee contains all the wisdom which even may exist in the Senate or in the committee itself. Now, Mr. President, I beg leave to say a word with regard to that report and the meas are which the committee have proused. But for my great respect for the members of that committee and its chairman, and were I not forbidden by my knowledge that they are inca pable of such a thing, from the bare reading of their reported propositions I should suppose that, as this writer intimates, whose language I have adOpted, the object of the report was to present a scheme which could not he accepts. I am forbidden to entertain such an opinion by my great respect for the committce. I know they are incapable of anything of that sort, and I therefore am obliged to suppose that they thought this might be accepted, that it might possibly, under some supposable circumstances, calm the agitation which is prevailing on this subject, and result in the read mission of members from the late rebel States. That, no doubt, was their intention; but I beg leave to say that it seems to me that it is utterly impossible that that should ever be the effect of it. For example, allow me to articularize. After the States have accepte these terms, after they are represented in this body and in the HoRep for a period of nearly 4 years, if they accept the proposition next fall they are to be denied the right of votin for their own Representatives in Congress; or we are told every day, and I believe it is to a certain extent true in some States, that the whole mass of the people participated in the rebellion, or at least, in the language of the report, “adhered” to it. The language of the report does not exclude merel those who were original conspirators, but all who may finally have adhered to the rebellion. Now, consider that proposition for a moment. These States are to be represented in the other House and in this bed after having accepted these terms, and still their representatives are to be chosen without the votes of the people. I would ask, who is to vote? The colored man cannot vote. Take SCarolina or Mississippi or Georgia. Who is to choose Representatives in those States? I will not say it is a mockery, because my respect for the committee forbids; but I must say that it does seem to me that no man can expect that any of these States will ever accept the terms proposed. I agree with the Evening Post on that point. I Will say further that I am not sure, if they would accept it, they ever ought to be permitted to vote at all.
