Mr. BROOMALL. If Iam to answer that (trestion from my own standpoint, I would say 1 at the President has not the power. lfI am to answer it from the standpomt of those who have adopted the Presidents policy to its fullest extent, I should say that I do not know any limit that they make to the power of the Executive. These men are expected to represent their States in Congress. “hey are large holders of the rebel debt. Are they therefore especially (fipalifiedio vote for taxation to pay the cost of t cir own subjugation? Some of them have lost a limb in the rebel service; others have lost sons and brothers. Are they therefore especially qualified to vote pensions to our wounded soldiers and the widows of our dead ones? In other countries such men have been hanged, or at the very least have been suffered to expatriate themselves to avoid that punishment. We propose not only to let them aid in governing us, at to turn over to their sole and irresponsible care the lives and property of all the loyal men of the South. An experiment so new in the worlds history and against which the presumptions of common reason are so strong, had better he 1st tried on a very small scale and watched narrowly. It was much for a man to stand true to his allegiance in the very heart of the rebellion, withstanding the example and the catreatics of friends, and the threats of enemies. It was no merit to be loyal in Massachusetts. With all the surroundings that incited to loyalty there, a man must be intensely bad to be otherwise. But in SCarolina the case was widely different. There the loyal man was looked upon as a spy and a traitor. For 4 long years his life was at the mercy of the mob, his dwelling invited the torch of the incendiary. Arrests, imprisonments, tortures. were always " anticipations, often realities to him. Yet a body of men inters versedthroughout the South, not large, not in ucntial, not even all white men, withstood all this, and for 4 long years ministered to the comfort and safety of the Union soldier, and prayed in secret for areturn of the Federal power and a sight of the old flag. Shall we turn these tnen over to the ten der mercies of their rebel neighbors, whom their very virtues have rendered the worse enemies? Shall we cause these men in very bitterness of heartto cursetheirloyalty? There maybe future rebellions. The new mode of punishing treason does not seem calculated to prevent its repetition. Let our country beware how it tram les upon virtue and makes crime profitable; ow it offers a reward for future treason. [Here the hammer fell.
