Mr. NYE. I have a right to say that in my judgment that bill, if it should pass, while I charge no such intention upon its author, would be a bill that ought to be entitled “A bill supplemental to aid in the acquittal of traitors.” assert a thing that cannot e gainsaid. There has not been any efficient effort to make trea son odious. Has there? Where is C. C. Clay today a man who was charged, and it was reported upon proof ample to hold him, as a partioeps crimin ts in the assassination of Lincoln a name that I need onlymention when an army of associations cluster around him that I cannot describe. Where is Clay 7 Paroled; which means discharged. Where is Davis? profm me, in prison; visited by the officers of this Government; with famil associations all clustering around him; and yet me inform the Senfrom Wisconsin, he, too, will be paroled before he is tried. Where is the stigmpt at the fulfillment of that guarantee thattreason should be made odious? Mr. President, I do not want blood; I am a man of peace; and I believe I have as much of the welling up of humanity in me as the distinguished Senfrom Wisconsin. I never saw a man in trouble but I sympathized with him. But, sir, above all these sympathies here is reared a standard of eternal justice. I called upon the President this morning, with a friendfrom central NewYork, to ask him to pardon a man who had served out a part of his time for passing 2 5cent counterfeit currency ieces. He was not pardoned when I left. he the r he will be or notI do not know. But where is the justice of that Government, where sluinbers its sense of justice, that would incar cerate a poor man for passing one dollars worth of its coin that is counterfeit, and sets these men whose skirts drip with loyal blood at large 3 Away with such an administration of justice! It is an outrage upon the sacred name of justice. Sir, treason has not been made odious, nor will it be. Is treason made odious when right under the very guns of our Army, in a captured city, the city of Mobile, toasts are drunk to the irate Semmes let it not be said that I call iiii a hard name; it is the name designated by the law; the name written in heaven and on earth and the POTUS in the same sentence or at the same sitting? There is not a traitor on the face of the earth but would court such odium as that. But let me call the attention of the Senate to another thing. In this city today walk men who have trod the fiery furnace of affliction as Union men from 1861until the rebels laid down their arms at Richmond. They are starving, begging for employment, while men who were baptized early into this rebellion and who have been engaged in it throughout are holding of fices of power and cmoluinent in this country. We are told that Union inen cannot be found to fill them. Let me tell the Senfrom Wisconsin and those who say that, I can find you 100,000 maimed soldiers of this Republic who will go there and fill those offices with honor to themselves and fidelity to the Government. Why look for jewels in a toads head? Why look for men fit to hold offices among those who are yet rocking in the very smoke of the rebellion, and whose only regret is that they failed in the attempt? That is not making treason odious. That kind of odium breaks down the amenities of society and makes Union men seek shelter in the caves and the recesses of the mountains. My distinguished friendfrom Wisconsin has inted forward to the day when he shall meet s peeple in judgment on this question, boasting in his own strength. Let me tell the senator that there is a more potent power than the human voice, a more pun ent teacher than stum speakers; and it ist e irresistible and resist ess power of truth. It finds a lodgment in every hamlet, around every hearth stone, and in every heart. Let no man hereafter presume to trifle with the just demands of the American ople. They bring judgment to the question. [hey are hewing their way through the difficulties that surround us, and the men who do not how with them, they will bow down. Sir, we have been educated in the deepest and bloodiest calami. Every hearth stone has a tongue, more e oquent than senatorial tongue, that tells a story of the outrages and the wrongs of this rebellion. Everywhere the people or out against the “ deep damnation ofte taing off” of the immortal Lincoln. Everywhere they demand that their servants shall ste to the music of the necessity of the hour. e that falls back will be a straggler and lost. Sir, the party is not behind; the Union party is going to meet it; it is the party that is in the advance. My distinguished friendfrom Delaware the other day said he rejoiced the time had come when the Democratic party could hang out their banners upon the outer wall. That is what ails you. on hang them out, and the people look for the old stars and stripes and do not see them. They see too many stars and bars. Keep your banners in if you want to win, for the moment you hang them out upon the outer wall, it is an advertisement to the world that there is danger of the devils return to rule. [Laughter.] Keep your banners in.
