Mr. WADE. I was answering the question in the 1st place with regard to his treatment of our friends in the South, 3 million people. I say he made a violent assault upon the constitution and an assault upon the power of Congress in these repeated vetoes that are to tally destitute of any reason that he can assi n for them. He did say early, I admit, intie language I believe that the Senator hasset forth in no proposition he has just submitted, that he would be favorable to some terms with these people, that the should have votes if they were able to res and write, if they came up to certain qualifications. We all believed that he was willing to do justice by these people; but the moment that we undertake to do anything to secure their rights, we are met by his stern hostility, denying them everything, denying their citizenship, denying their right to have citizenship extended to them, vetoing our bills because they endeavor to solve the doubt whether they are citizens or not, determined that now, henceforth, and forever, there shall be an infe prior class of people, tram led under foot, without the right of citizens ip, and without the power of Congress to make them citizens. That is the way that this Egyptian reliefis extended to these men that he pretended he was friendly to. Yesterday what was the issue? I was charged with great cruelty on this floor, because I was unwilling to wait for recruits to be brought in here for the purpose of overthrowing the ground we had talien upon this important question whether these poor people sha l have relief or not. Now, I wish to say that I am willing to extend courtesy to our old associates on this floor under other circumstances; but when you extend this kind of courtesy to them the result is death and destruction to 3 million people trampled under the feet of their former masters. My courtesy is extended to those poor men, and I would not wait a moment that their enemies may be brought in here in order to prevent our doing anything for their relief, oining with the President who is determined, if we may judge by his acts, that no measure having for its object any relief shall be extended to them. Look at. our frivolous 2nd veto message, and tell me is good faith, will you? Did you hear the facts Stated here the otlg ably, that bills were dra with a view to xse ape the anathemas of your resident, and were exhib ited to him, and he as "ed if he had an objection to them, to look them over well, “because if we can, consistent with th iect aimed at, make them clear of an objion you may have, we will do it?" c:5 motive in kv his own heart was never divulged tomortal man ll civil government there? If any lawyer of this until the measures were passed through Conl gross, and then sternly met by his veto. Is that good faith? and you talk about his re. spectability toward Congress! say to that secession rabble that met him on the fld of February? Had we commenced any assault upon him? Had any man uttered a word disrespectful of the President when he belched forth those anathemas against the majorities of Congress?
