Mr. GRINNELL. I am casting no reflection on the gentlemans colleague at all; but cannot forbear remarking that it would seem more becoming gentlemen who represent the State of the “great Commoner, ” whosoke in these Halls 40 years ago, to have imbi d his spirit and principles evinced in a desire that slavery should die in his State by u constitutional limitation, rather than that manifested by the Gentfrom the Ashland district, who did not believe in the proclamation of emancipation or in the disturbance of slavery. He did not like the educational and able speech of the Gentfrom Minnesota, [Mr. Dos irnLLrj and meant no compliments to us “ so far north that we got a little sunshine, and where was yet the track of the buffalo and the Indian.” rue, ours is not the “ sunny South, ” bntaland of free schools and industrious habits, of requited labor; and we have proffered you nothing but kindness. The southern country cannot be regenerated without organized labor. Her people are crowded in towns, or roving from plantation to plantation, and require such directing minds as this bureau will furnish that early contracts may be made and there be found the comforts of home. There is a demand for that crop of 3 million bales of cotton, from which we can raise 100 millions of revenue. If there is no quiet for the laborei", justice in enforcing contracts, and schools for the young, now thirsting for knowledge, the crop will not be raised, and suffering follows. Interest, honor, and humanity, then, are alike involved in carrying out the provisions of this freedmans bill. I am ready to yield my preferences and cooperate with all sections, knowing that ive rise or fall together in national character. I would have nothing partial or sectional, nor by a word or not hinder a State in the march to the noble position which her generosity orlheroism may give title. To even that State WlllCll is so willing to receive a nations dispeiisations to her poor. I would give a proud and commanding position among our Comniouwcalths. I now, to show my regard for a gallant gentleman, yield the remainder of my time to the Gentfrom Kentucky, [Mr. iIcKEs.]
