Mr. LOAN. Mr. Speaker, at the time when the Gentfrom R. York interposed his objection, I had just raised a sheet of paper!" read that which in my manuscript immediately follows what has been read at the Clerk's desk. In order that the connection may be clear P a few words which I have already rea(I. The price that he was to pay for his prono.tion was treachery to the Republic and ideo to the party of treason and rebellion. Ho performed his part of this agreement as faith {ully as the rebels did theirs? How.ans". you, Representatives of the people?. Has not the nation been betrayed by its actin Chief Magistrate? And does not Andrew ohnson stand today the avowed and acknowledge chief and leader of all those lately in rebellion, and of those who sympathized with them.” The conspirators having thus secured the executive dept of the Governmeno being sure i. they might implicitly rely. the judiciary for all required aid who '. assistance of that dept should be.” voked, it only remained for them to ob." control of the legislative dept, ” go them full and absolute control of the oment, which being done, they, profiting by P. experiences, would be careful to avoid to ". take they made under the administrion of Mr. Buchanan insurrendering othe‘. trol of the Government, but would use.": its agencies as the sure means to effect o: purposes and accomplish its destruco" WaS ascendency in the legislative dept tors to be acquired by the admission of Sens&Reps from the rebel States, and by the acquisition of sympathizing friends from the loyal States, whose elections were to be secured by means of the distribution of the patronage of the Government. For the purpose of accomplishing the 1st of these objects, the Executive, in the vacation that intervened between the adjournment of the 38 h Congress and the time appointed by law for the assembling of the 39th, and which (the 39th Congress) he could have convened in extra session at any time, by the most unheard of usurpation of power, proceeded to reorganize the revolted States upon a rebel basis and to restore them to their practical relations with the Government. By executive orders provisional govern ors officers unknown to the law were appointed over those States; conventions were called; the qualification of voters was prescribed, and the elections were conducted under military surveillance; in a word, the will of AndrewJohnson was imprinted upon every political action there, and the result was the selection for Sens&Reps for those States, with scarcely an exception, of the most capable, active, energetic agents of the rebellion, civil and military, that the confederacy contained. While engaged in these acts of usurpation and crime, and when some of the discerning minds in the country saw danger to the Republic in this monstrous abuse of executive authority, the President, to hide his criminal purposes, craftily misled the public who are ever confiding in the high officers of the Government by declaring to individuals who spoke to him upon the subject, and in official communications to those who were in the exercise of authority in the rebel States, that his interference for the purpose of reorganizing those States was only an experiment to ascertain the real temper and disposition of the rebels for the purpose of deciding the proper course that should be pursued toward them, and that the whole matter would have to be referred to Congress, when it met, for the action of that body, as it had exclusive jurisdiction over the entire subject. In the mean time extraordinary exertions were used to secure the organization of the rebel States prior to the time appointed by law for the assembling of Congress, which, with one or 2 exceptions, was accomplished. In the President's annual message to Congress all disguise was thrown off, and the Executive boldly demanded as a right the admission into Congress of Sens&Reps from the rebel States as organized under his authority and by his direction. The effect this insolent demand had on the 2 Houses of Congress, and the changes that the minds of various members have since under gone in relation thereto, are probably known to the most of us; but it is not necessary at this time further to allude to them than to say that the action of the 2 Houses has been such as to refuse admission to these Halls to the Sens&Reps of all the States lately in revolt, with the single exception of those from the State of Tennessee. In this action of the 2 depts of the Government the issue “whether loyalty or treason shall rule the Republic” was fairly made between the loyal majority in Congress on the one side, and the Executive, the reconstructed rebels and their sympathisers on the other; and upon this issue both parties appealed to the people., Pending this appeal the 2nd proposition of the conspirators, that of securing additional members in the rebel interest by carrying the elections in the loyal States by means of the patronage of the Government and other administration influences, was to be accomplished.
