Mr. DONNELLY. My answer to that is afforded by the very expression which I have just used, that, where unjust laws exist, rebellion is the result of the efforts of one class to perpetuate and of the other to resist injustice. lSir, it was the unjust laws of the South, it was the oppression of the blacks by the whites, that led to the late rebellion. If there had been no slavery there could have been no rebellion. If you give the negro an equal opportunity with the white man, he becomes perforce a propertyholder and a lawmaker, and he is interested with you in preserving the peace of the country. If you hand him over to oppression, if you deprive him of all hope, if you debase him into a brute, you can expect nothing from him but poverty, turbulence, and wretchedness. If then your object, if the object of all government, is to advance the prosperity of the people, can you do so by ruining one 8th of the entire population? The true issue before the South is justice or anarchy. We must save the South from her self. The negroes now know themselves to be free men. They maybe made savages, but never again slaves. The cruel, heartless course the South seems bent on pursuing will sooner or later set the land aflnme with insurrection and in that day are we ready, we, the Christian people of the North. to hold down with our armies the poor writhing wretcbes who will tell us that their title deeds of liberty bear our superscription; and who will fling into our faces while we are manacling them the sacred promises of the proclamation of emancipation? Neverl never! This thing cannot be. Our own hearts would revolt at;it the world would cry us Shame! The name of American would become an epithet of contempt in the mouth of all mankind. We must hold our faith. We made great vows to God when the fury of the tempest smote us, and night and darkness seemed set thng down upon our frail bark forever. Let us not, like the drunken sailors of the Mediterranean, abandon those vows amid the prof ligacy of the harbor. It becomes a great people to hold its faith as the most sacred thing beneath the wide canopy of the heavens. If it is, then, true that we must make the freedmen fully free, and if the right of suffrage is necessary to this freedom, then it is equa y necessary that education should accompany freedom.
