Mr. STEWART. I believe that the people of the loyal States who have succeeded in abolishing slavery are quite as well satisfied with the result of the issue as those who fought to maintain it, who fought to build it up as the controlling and rulinginstitution of the country. I think that with the past the Union party have as (good reason to be satisfied with themselves, an the results of their policy, as the Democratic party. I think that the Union party is quite as well satisfied with itself for having ought to defend the Union, to save the Union, to preserve the Union, as the Democratic leaders can be with the fact that they destroyed this Government and declared that there was no power under the Constitution to save the country. If you talk about satisfaction with past records let them be compared. As to the present oliey. the Senator appears to be very much a armed for fear the Union party will not be satisfied with it, and he has attempted here new, as on various other occasions, to prove that negro suffrage is' wrong because men are not equal. That is the only argument that I hear against it. Ifthat be true all suffrage is wrong. because no 2 men are equal. There is a difference between men; there is every gradation. from the highest to the lowest, in all communities. " Equality has nothing to do with the right of suffrage. We do not mean that men must be equal physically, that they must be equal intellectually, that they must be equal morally. We do not expect that; we do not say any such thing; but we do say that all men are equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness and to the protection of the law, and that the weak need the protection of the law more than the strong; and we do say that now that the negro in the South is manumitted, and that cannot be helped, (although the democratic party would reverse the verdict if the could, and re'enslave him,) he must be protecte, and if you do not allow him to protect himself with the ballot you must protect him with the sword. The race is emancipated and must be governed. It must either have selfgovernment or despotic government. I think it is better for the whites and blacks that all now shall have a chance to govern themselves. The time for governing the blacks as slaves has passed. The “divine right” of slavery is repudiated by the sword. This same appeal to the Bible for the divine right to govern other men is the old song of kings. It is divine to make men unequal: it is divine to control and govern them, provided you let me govern them. let me be king, and then it is divinely right. You be slave and I be king, and then it is a divine right.
