Mr. MYERS. I move that the Gentfrom Missouribe allowed to conclude his remarks. There was no obJection, and it was ordered accMorrd. inAgNlg person. I thank the House for the extension accorded to me. As I was saying, the POTUS addressed a letter to the provisional governor of Missismppi, which I Will read: Exse orivn MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. 0., August 15.1865. GOVGIDOI WILLIAIL. SHABKEY, Jackson, Mississippi: I am gratified to seethat you have organized our convention without difficulty. I hope that without delay your convention will amendyour State constitution, abolishing slavery and denying to all future Legislaturesthe 1powerto legislate that there is proarty in man. A so. that the will adopt the amendment to the constitution of the U.S. abolish ingslavery. Ifyoucouldextend the electivefranchise to all orsonsof color who can read the Constitution of the U.S.in English and write their names and to all persons of color who own real estateval ued at not lessthan $250, and pay taxes thereon, you would completely disarm the adversary and set an example the other States would follow. This you can do with perfect safety and on thus place the southern States, in referenceto reo persons of color upon the samebasiswith the freeStates. I hopoan trust your convention will do this and as a consequence the radicals, who are wild upon negro franchise.Will be completely foiled in their attempts to keep the southern Statesfrom renewing their relations to the Union bynot accepting their Sens&Teps. saunaw JOHNSON, POTUS. Here, sir, it will be seen the demands of the wild radicals of the country were considered potent, and the Presidento the U.S., " in order to bring about a restoration of these States to the Union, was willing to accede to it and urge Governor Sharkey that he should have the State of Mississippi incorporate into her constitution the right of franchise to these negroes. Mr. Lincoln, the martyr President, in is letter to Governor Hahn, of Louisiana adyocated the same pohcy. The loyal men of this Union look to it as a necessity, not only for the preservation of the supremacy of lg alty in the councils of the nation, but as e means of protection to the negro himself. But, sir, there is another duty weowe: we owe something to the loyal sentiment in the southern States of the Union. It is said they want immediate admission here. Has Brown low said so? Has Maynard, has Stokes said so? Have these men, known to be in the fore front of the fight during the rebellion, said so? the war party of teUnion have been promul No, sir. They are here presenting credentialsW1 and asking for admission into Congress; but they do not ask it if the military power of the Union is to be withdrawn from those States, and they are to be left at the mercy of the trui tors there. "Colonel W. B. Stokes, eluted Representative in Congress.was presented in Nashville a gold headed one on the Bt instant. prior to his departure for Washin n. The presentation took place in the Senate Chamberof the ca itol, Governor Brownlow, Generals Thomas, Fisk, ilroy. kc. bein present. In referring to the presentation address y W B Shane.Esra. he said: “I am again on mywayto Washington to help the Union men to restorelaw and orderl Iain regardless who deviatesto the right or to the left. If some men chooseto go astray, evenif theybehigh in authority. I have takenno oathto follow any man. Your in Washingtonare the Union men in Congress.Some times they are termed radicals. dont care what name you call them. I can be on led a radical as easily as I was called a Lincolnite and abolldonist in 1861. The radicals are your friends. I repeat. Some of them are a little extreme in some of their views, but still you must remember that these Union men are the oneswho saved our Governmentin1861.when it required all the energy and courage of man to meet the readful crisis. Are they not the menwhom you should trust now with the reins of Government?" and, sir, that man utters today the loyal sentiment of the States to be reconstructed. They do not desire to be turned over bound hand and foot to the traitors of the South. So far as the settlement of this question is concerned they stand waiting atiently the action of congress, well satisfied that its action will be in the interest of the oppressed loyalists of the South. and, sir, that action will be satisfactory. This Congress will do its duty and its whole duty before it adjourns. Time is a renovator of wrong, a correcter of evil. I feel assured that the loyal men of the South will be protected by this Congress, and that it is the intention of this Congress to preserve their rights in the States lately in rebellion and in that policy it will be sustained by the loyal people of the entire country. Already, sir, the answer comes up from the loyal hearts of the men of the old Granite State. In thunder tones they tell us, “We stand by the Congress of the nation; we meanto protect the loyal men of the South, both w its and black." and to that policy the POTUS was thoroughly committed. But it perchance he shallpursue such a line of policy as to consolidate the South, then it will be the old contest over a sin, in which Lincoln triumphed over Doug as, Breckinridge, and Bell aconsolidated North against a consolidated South and who will question the result? Who will doubt where the Victory will lie?
