Mr. ALLEY. I do not think that the amendment which the gentleman proposes will improve the bill. Neither do I think it is desired y the Dept. Foronc I should be entirely opposed to it. The object of this bill is simply to provide means by which the people of the South, who are unable to enjoy the usual postal facilities, can secure stamps, instead of being compelled, as they now are, in a great many instances that have come to the knowledge of the Dept. to purchase at great incon venience and trouble, and pay, as they frequently have done, from 20 to 25 cents for a stamp. To my surprise this bill encountered considerable opposition on yesterday, and for the simple reason, I believe, that the bill was not properly understood. This is a bill merely for names; purposes. It is intended to increase the revenues of the Post office Dept, and in my opinion will do no harm to any interest of the Government, or to any individual in any section of the country. On the contrary, thig hill is made in the interests of the Government, of freedom, and humanity. If I believed otherwise, I certainly would not advocate it. There is no man upon this floor who appreciates more fully than I do the danger arising from the moral effect of any legislation which may have a tendenc to bring back into these Ha smenwhohave onetheirutmost to destroy this Government, and who stand in such a positionthat in in judgment the Government ought not to trust them with the power that will be conferred upon them by their admission here. No man willgo further than I will inthat respect. But I am willing to grant all needful faci ities so far as we can with safety to the Government to promote the interests of the great mass of the people of the South. I feel no disposition to gratity any feelings of revenge or hostility to that people as a body. I feel that they have sutfered peverything thata people ought to suffer for their transgressions. I think their terrible and unfortunate condition cliallen es the sympathy and pity of all mankind. gYet, whileI cherish no other feelings than those of kindness and commiseration toward the great mass of the people of the South, I do feel that those men who have led that people into rebellion, the leaders of the rebellion, deserve and ought to suffer all the torments of the damned. Cries of “ Good!” “That is rightl”] and so or as this bill is concerned, those individuals will receive but little benefit from it. It is the great mass of the people, including the Union people of the South, who will be benefited by the provisions of this bill and as this bill is framed in the interests of the Government, and intended to grant additional facilities in the way of mail service to the great mass of the people, I think it ought not to meet with an opposition.
