Mr. YATES. Mr. President, a remark that fell from the honorable Senfrom Indiana induces me to say a word. He said that he could not understand the underground of this proposition. if I understand the motion, it is the motion of the honorable Senfrom Ohio to strike out the words “in the Daily Globe” in regard to the printing for the 40th Congress. If these words are stricken out it will not preclude us hereafter, as has been remarked by the honorable Senfrom California, from still having this printing done at the Globe office. But, sir, that is not the point on which I rose to say a few words. For a long time I have fought the doctrine that the spoils belong to the victors. I was a Henry Clay Whig, a Webster Whig, and I fought with all my might the doctrine that the spoils belonged to the victors. I did not believe it was the best doctrine for the Government. I believed in the W. to which the honorable Senfrom Wisconsin referred the other day, that in the employment of public officers, the question should be, Is he honest? Is he capable? Is he faithful to the Constitution? the Jeffer sonian doctrine. We fought this other doctrine with a zeal that was worthy of patriots, as I supposed at the time; but, sir, we failed, we went down. The glorious and dominant Democratic party succeeded, and they established the doctrine that the spoils belong to the victors a doctrine to which we submitted per force. But, sir, having been conquered and having yielded, like lambs to the slaughter, to this doctrine as we did, now, the principle having been established against our patriotic wishes, having the power, I propose that the spoils shall belong to the victors. That is my doctrine now. I am now for carrying out this great principle that you have fastened upon the country contrary to the Jeffersonian doctrine. Now, sir, while I admit that the Globe is published well, and I accord all praise to the publishers, I am here today to say that if the Republican Union party of this country cannot have a printer and cannot have a man that is devoted in his very heart and soul and radically to the Republican party to do its printing, then they do not act. believe the honorable Senfrom Indiana would act were he in the ascendant and had the power. Therefore I am in favor of striking out the proposition that this printing shall be done by under my modern notions of political parties, I would not give a cent for a party that would not take care of its own children and stand by them, and give the crumbs of patronage to the men who stand by the country, who stood by it in the war, who are radical in their notions in favor of human rights and human liberty. Sir, we ought to strike this out and give the printing to a man who is on our side, and about whom there should be no question. It will not do to say to me that he is neutral, that he is not political. The President does not act upon that principle. The Senfrom Indiana does not act upon that principle with regard to appointments now. It will not do to say that to me; but say to me that the printer of the proceedings of the Congress of the U.S.A is a Radical Union Republican, that he has supported the war through all its scenes and all its trials. I hope, sir, that the Republican Union members of Congress will stand by this proposition. It is right. It is returning to the Senfrom Indiana and his friends on the other side of the Chamber the pill which they administered to us after so many elections, and through so many hard fights that we had throughout this country.
