Mr. (ILA RK. I do not rise so much to talk to the resolution precisely as I do to comment on the remarks whh have falleu fron the Senfrom Massachusetts. I cannot give my assent to them. It is the duty of this Government to be just, whether it has given a receipt or not.ernment to pay for a house of a loyal man destroyed in WestVirginia as it is to pay for the due or the guns of a citizen of Massachusetts or a northern 10 ul State. The question is not where the man ives, but what service he has rendered your Government, or what you have taken from him which on ought to replace; and it will not do, inmyjudwment, for this Gov;ernment blindly to say, ” We will do this, and we will not do the other thing, even if we jnd o it to be right.” The Government is to do ri" t wherever the citizen may live who claims that it ought to do right. If the Government owes him a debt it ought to discharge it. Sir, it is one of the things that we fought: for, that we would hold the whole of this country under the jurisdiction of the national government, and it must result from that, that we must be just to every citizen of that Govern“ment, wherever he resides. We have not fought to pay the citizens of the loyal States and turn the citizens of the disloyal States, if they have been true, out of doors or from under the Governmeuts protection and we owe it even more, if it can bepossible, to those men who have stood true in t 1is ra e of rebellion and amid the rebels than We o to those of us who have not had that temptation. Sir, we never can know what those men have suffered. “Why, ” said a loyal man froml Mississippi to me the other day, ” have known some o my neighbors to have lived 2 years in the woods, and never once gone home, because they Would not be untrue or faithless to, the Government.” If such men have suffered losses and you have taken their property, shall you not pay them as well as a man who slept in his house every night and never was tamed out, who never made any sacrifice except in the tax he has paid to the Government? hy, sir, it would be a reproach and a shame if we should acknowledge and act upon any such premises or foundation. No, sir, we must be just; and let me say to the Senfrom Massachusetts you have got to tax the people heavily and they will bear it if you are just but ifyou are unjust, they will not bear it. Your Government must go upon its justice. Your people sustained you in put tin down the rebellion. Theywill sustain you incingjust to every citizen of the Government whom you owe, whatever may be the tax or the obligation imposed upon them. I would be careful, I would scrutinize; I never would pay a rebel a farthing exeept to buy him a rope 3 at where a man has been true, whether he lived in a loyal State or among rebels, I would be true to him. I would not end faith and allegiance from him, and then turn him away from the door. Stand by the citizen, and the citizen will stand by you. 4
