Mr. BINGHAM. That is admitted. Then I want to know, with a fact like that conceded, what sort of logic, what sort of force, what sort of, reason, what sort of justice is there in the remark of the gentleman made here in a delib erative assembly touching the question of the personal enfranchisement of the black race, when he says in the statement here, right in the face of that fact, that they only are entitled to their liberty who strike the blow for and maintaintheir liberty? They did strike the blow in Hayti, and did maintain their liberty there. They struck such a blow for liberty there as no other race ofinen under like circumstances ever before struck, now represented by any organized community upon this planet; and that the gentleman conceded and yet this sort of argument is to be adduced here as reason whyt ese people in the DistCol should not receive the consideration of this House and be protected in their rights as men. If the gentlemans remark is not adduced for that purpose, then it is altogether foreign to our inquiry. If the gentleman can assign another reason for the introduction of any sue argument as that I should like to hear him and let me say this much furtherin exlanation: I should like to know of the cut eman with what grace he can come intot is House and make a remark of that sort against this race after such a fact as that to which I have before referred is admitted, and after the further fact, in our own history, that the general commanding the Army of the Republic notified these slaves that even if they had the manhood and conra c to do all the Gentfrom NewYork [ML human] says this people ought to do to entitle them to the enjoyment of their personal rights, Major General McClellan would)“ crash them with an iron hand" with all the power of the Government, so faras he could command it. I would like to know from my friendfrom NewYork whetherhe favored that gentleman or not, either as a military man or as a political as irant for the Presidenc.
