Mr. WILSON, of Iowa. If any portion of the people of NewJersey desire to removeinto the imits of anyone of the States that were in rebellion, I desire that that portion of the people thus removing shall not be liable to the payment of art of the debt incurred for the purpose of the destruction of this Government. am in favor of protecting the minority in another respect, and that is to protect them againsttbecorruptinginflnenceso theimmensa amount of money involved in the aggregation of the rebel debtthat contracted by the socalled confederate States in their general capacity, and that contracted by the several States as part and parcel of the socalled confederate government. we had a full discussion of the doctrine of the right of amendment of the constitution of the U.S. during the last Congress; and I do not believe at that time there was much difference of opinion on the subject, nor do I believe there is now. r I believe that the Gentlemen of the House concur with the Gentfrom NewJerse in the opinion that when the framers of the constitution made it they made it so that no State should have the right to secede from the Union. The Government of the U.S. in the struggle which has just closed, has reaiiirmed by force of arms, sealed with the blood of loya men, the decree of our forefathers. We propose to so nfllrm l the constitution: bythil amendment that nor only that determination of the fathers, reaf firmed by the people in this day, shall have effect, but that no part of the people either in the North or the South, shall be called upon in the future to pay one dollar of the debt thus contracted for the purpose of destroying the Government of the I U.S and that is the sole purpose embraced in this proposition. For the purpose of making it effective, we have proposedby this amendment that the congress of the U.S shall have jurisdiction of all cases arising under this amendment, striking at all debts contracted for the purpose of aiding either that or any other rebellion which may arise in the future, and givingl the taxpayer in each and every State the rightto carry his case as against the taxgatherer into the courts of the U.S., there to meet with the full roteetion we desire to give by this amendment. We do not merely desire to prohibit the assumption of this debt, but we provide also for that effective remedy which will make the people secure. I do not desire to occupy the attention of the House further. I believe that the House is in a temperto adopt the proposed amendment; and unless some other gentleman wants to make a; suggestion, I shall call for the previous question.
