Mr. MCDOUGALL. Yes, the Fenians. I know something about 1745, andI know something of Vinegar Hill. Now, I will say that in my judgment the less we have to do with that the better. But, Mr. President, we have got to look with great carefulness at the question endingthis matter of reconstruction, so callbd. I do not say reconstruction; I say rehabilitation. These men of the South are, after all, our own brothers. Why should we call them enemies? Is it because we are afraid of them? Is it from a cowardly spirit? Why should we be afraid of them? it ynot invite them into our own house? I say to them, come back to our house and sit down with us and dine with us and enjoy our hospitalitics. Those who are not willing to say that are violating a great law of truth and a great law of justice, and those who undertake to maintain such a position must themselves be subjugated. am 0 posed to subjugation, have been always, but if subjugation has to come, there have been inquiries, who is to be subjugated? I have lived in pretty near all portions of this Republic, and I will not allow the conquered to be subjugated as long as I can spell my own name and are to call myself by my own nomen. These men were, by the exact contract of the Government, invited to come back and enjoy their rights. They accepted the proposition. When ee surrendered it was an acceptance of the proposition. By whom is it denied? By brave men? No. Why should they not come back and grasp our hands and say, “We were brothers once; we differed years ago; now we come back to embrace you?" “lily should we not acce ttheir embrace? Can any man state why? H: is not within the range of thought for expression to state it. I went down once on the Mississippi, at the opening of this war. I met a general of the confederate army, and I took him by the hand, and took him to my state room, on board of my gunboat. Said he, “General, ” throwing his arms around me, “how hard it is that you and I have to fight.” That was the generosity of a combatant. I repeated to him, “ It is hard, ” and he and I drank a bottle of wineor 2 justas like as not. [Langhten] This thing of bearing malice is one of the wickedest sins that men can bear underth cir clothes. I think the general of the confederate army who said that to me he was an old acquaintance of mine showed more gallantry in saying it than any person shows who curses them. took him to my room and treated him kindly. We would have fought at the instant, if it had been a fight, but not being a fight we treated each other generously. I am for reintegration as soon as possible. No, I do not like that term “reintegration.” I prefer the term rehabilitation, which was iven to us by the Senfrom Pennsylvania, [Mr. Cowan.] I say let us rehabilitate them as soon as possible and make them friends and brothers. Otherwise we make them enemies; and for what cause? There is no cause. We are all capable of faults. Who is there that is not? There is a lesson, I believe, taught by the Master: “Let him that is without sin cast the 1st stone.” Wickedness belongs to all people that have got bone and nerves and will. I say this measure is wrong radically, and I say further, it is my opinion that white men of the Caucasian race were made for governors, and that negroes are only fit to be a subject race. I do not care for their subjection here. I wish for them all to be free and away.nevertheless, not with my consent, not by any force which I can employ, shall they be allowed to have to do with governing me or my kindred. That is one reason why I oppose the whole principle of the measure, and if I fall down, I will fall like Ciesar.
