Mr. WILSON. I am much obliged to the Senator for the correction he has made. Then it appears that none of the old journals of the party sustain “my policy” or support the Senfrom Wisconsin, [Mr. Doourri.i:.] We all know that that Senator is a gentleman of talent and personal character, for whom we have great respect. It is a great thing for a people to pronounce amiust such a Senator or to pass a vote askingTiim to resign his seat. It reqi es an immense pressure coming from the bo y of the people, and can only come from men actuated by the purest motives and lofiiest purposes. The fact that it is done is only another evidence of the depth and strength of the feelings of the people in favor of giving equal, universal, and impartial liberty to the 4 million men whom we have made free by this war. I tell you, sir, if there be one thing down dee in the heart and soul of the American people it is the purpose to see that these poor bondmen are free in fact as well as in name. They remember that Abraham Lincoln, in his immortal proclamation of emancipation, pledged the faith and the power of the Government to make them free. They have passed a constitutional amendment clothing us with full powers to make them free; and Giey have resolved upon it, and they will not be baffled. They have vowed it on bended knee before Almighty God. I tell the Senators from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania thatitis that motive animating the heart and impelling the action of our people that makes them doubtful of the policy of the President. It is no hostility to the President; it is no personal hostility to the Senfrom Wisconsin, for I think he is among that class of men who would excite personal hostility as little as almost any man know. The action of the people of Wisconsin in regard to the Senator is the most striking evi once of our time of the love of the people for liberty, justice, and humanity. Does the senator expect to go before these people and have them reverse their action? flees he believe he can elect a single member to Congress from that State by the votes of the Republicans who will support the policy indicated by the President an o pose the action of Congress? Does he believe e can electa Representative in his State by Republican votes to the Legislature that will do it? Every victory won by that all of them rebels. Senator and by the Senfrom Pennsylvania over us is to be won by cooperation with the men who stood on the Chicago plat form in 1864, pronounced the war a failure, and denounced Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant. Sir, I know not what we have done that God should send afflictions upon us. I know not why the hearts ofloyal, devoted and true men that have been wrung with anguish during 5 years of blood strife should be made longer sorrowful! . but this Administration in power. We took Mr. Johnson, placed him on the ticket with Abraham Lincoln, when he had not a vote in America to give us. We did not nominate him because he would give us strength or power. He had proved true to the country when his State, section, and political friends proved false; he rendered service to the country, and we recognized it. We had 100s of able men in the field and in the civil councils, but we passed by them and nominated him. We put aside the ever faithful Hannibal Hamlin, by the votes of his own NewEngland, to nominate Mr. Johnson. We put this administration in power, and it went into power to do precisely this: to put down this rebellion; to cement the Union; to put down slavery, to exterminate it root and branch; to make the bondmen citizens of the Republic, and clothe them with the i ights of manhood. Sir, I say to the Senfrom Wisconsin, who talks so much of suffrage, that one year ago, after the surrender of Kirby Smith, it was in the power of the Administration to impose just such terms as it believed the good of the country required upon the rebel States. They were defeated, conquered, humiliated. They expected some punishment for their crime of treason. They expected the bondmen would be put underthe protection of just and equal laws. Many of their leading men not on y expected suffrage, but were ready for it., A systematic effort was made last spring to tone down the sentiment of the country. Sir, had the Administration seized that glorious opportunity we could have established impartial suffrage; we could have proclaimed universal amnesty; these seats would have been filled; and law and order, harmony and peace, would have reigned all over the country. But the Senfrom Wisconsin told us that this Administration was pursuing precisely the policy of Mr. Lincoln. I deny it altogether. Mr. Lincoln organized Tennessee by the loyal men of Tennessee. Traitors had to take the back seat. He organized Louisiana by the loyal men of Louisiana, although their numbers were not many. In the State of Louisiana they made a constitution emancipating slaves, leaving it to the Legislature to fix suffrage; establised 9 hours as the measure of time of a days work, and they made liberal provisiOns for education. They made one of the most liberal constitutions ever framed in America. Our friends told us that their Legislature wouldgive suffrage, and the moment we had the relations restored here that suffrage would come to the freed people. Some of us thought so, and if we has admitted them and the war had continued, I do not doubt it would have been so. What is the result under this Administration? They have elected 2 Senators in place of the men elected by the Legislature under
