Mr. Sumner's Speech

Krom tin.' Bualun uut. It must bo a grent relief' to the President to bo told by Mr. Sumnur wh'al his duty is. and how to perform it. The Senator corifer eijual favor upon othor branches of' tbc Govornment, :uic] the wholo country, by iniunning all con ctirned of thu wil], pleasure, command, and exactioii of tho Hon. Charlee Sun ner, who, liko a washorwoman, is only hnppy when in tho suds coatetuplatiag the bubblcs of his own creation. His domand for the completo aboiinhrnent "f what no calis tn'fl " Black Codo," applios as direct.ly to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, IUiodo Inbind, Oonnocticut, &o., &c, us to the Southern States, aud by his argumont these States are in robellinn, und thcir inhnbitants li'aTtors. Ili.s admiration of the despotism of Russia leads him to prese t hor oxauiplo as an dictum for America, and draws a parallel between tho ncrldom of the Empire and thü slavu sysietn of tho Republio, while in iact tbero is no more reaoiublauce man between white and black. M:iHt-achusi;tts ho presunta as thu proper cnuatillor and guide of the wholc nation - it is superior in wisdom and patriotism, nnd honce should bo Dictator, dmpelling all othör Staten to hvr to lts öap. No sacrilion, no repontfinco, no future act can bu rocoived froui tho South as atoncment to tho North for the robellion - Mercy has no nttributo for tho South now or houceforth - she mnet be chained and rivotted liko a rolontleas criminal to afford Mr. Surnner and his party the secnrity he says be " tcill have." Ho aflirms the proolumation conferred freodom upon tho slave and pledged the NationV strungth to suwtain it; this we have no inciiuation to dispute, altbongh Mr. Sumner'a co-laborer, Stevens, tella us the proclaiïiation did no suoh thiug aud has no practical or logal foroe. But what may bo tho positive potenoy of the Executivo odiot is not üsdential, as the South itselt receives the abolition of ulavory na an accompüslied faot aud wo do not believe Mr. Sumner could abuso it into tho re-establishmenl of the servitude it has forbidden, if it had tho power, Tho sounding sentence abdut rodeoming the National debt may be nocesaary to strengtheu the honerty of the Radicáis, for they aro tho principal tnen - from Stevens to Phillips - who have intimated repudiation at all, or threatened it if their demanda were not grantcd. The gentleman says wo must havo " irreversible guaranties ;" when ho can ostabliah anythmg human that is irroversiblo he wili exceed tho laws of natura ordered by the Crcator, which he soems to believe himself capablo of doing. He ttóaka if we look at tho rebel States gonerally thcro is little to inspire trust. The President, who has tho best moans of knowing the condition oí the rebel States through ageuts in overy portion of them, sont to obtain corroot information, te!ls us he reeeives accounts full of tho most gratifying evidouco of tho good faith of the South and such as inspires him with the fullest trust. General Meado, who has just returned frorn a iOur of inspoction through the South, 'ound everythiug there calculated to inspiro trust; but Mr. Sumner, lolling in lis Boston study, or taking his ovening drive round Jamaioa Pond, has not perceivod this. Here the Sonator betrays lis bitter, personal, unforgiving animonity towards the South - a hatred unsurassed by any pussion that over toro tho josom of a tiend - and meanly and falsey represents the action of tho lato Mississippi Oouveationas affording nosigns of pacifieatiOD, and as entitled to no confidenco; to do this ho quotus the expression of a few individual mombors of that body, whose seutimonts were rojected by a voto of ten to ono, a result wliich called forth tho ardont congratulations of Andrew Johnson. Mr. S. demands six subject of speoial guaranty, viz. : tho unity of the Jiepublic ; tho national obligations to tho national freedmen; lbo national obligations to t!io national croditora ; the rojection of the rebol dobt; the establishment of uational peaco and tranquillity, o that it cannot be disturbed by auy monopoly aud tyrauny fouuded on color; and Instly tho education of the people. All theso he contonds tho General Government can exaot undor the war power, the provisión in tho Constitution guarantocing a Republican Government to oaoh State - what a líe publican Govornmeut is bcing luft to Congrosa to determine - and from tho authority of tho Federal Governmont over the Southern States as Territorios! Tho States (or Territorios,) Mr. S. doclares must submitto long probation boforo recoiving grace - the Prosidont has no ultímate power in tho promises; what he does will reqnire thesanction oi Congress to make it authontio ; the races must not bo separated, and if anybody is exiled it should be tho rebela. The gentleman intimates that tbirfcy years will be a reasonable time withiu which to effect restoration and re-establish a Ropublican Government, and that reprosentativcs from the South must bo oxcludod from Cougross during that poriod. This tolerant aud merciful Philanthropist and Ropublicau says " the late robels must not bo voted for, and they inuat not vote. On this principio I tako my stand. Lct thom buy and scil ; lot thcm till tho ground ; and inay thoy bo industrious and successful. Theso things they may do ; but they must uot bo admiltad at once into the co-partnorship of our Goverumont. As well might tho rcspectable Mr. Kotchum rc-ustato his aon at cinco in the firm whioh lio híis i trayed, and invost bim again with all the : powers of a co-partncr." If ever any "Slave Codo" imponed a more sorvile condition upon men than thia, vvü havo yot to lcarn the faot. Mr. Sumnor proposos an amondinont to tho Constitution - without tho Soulhern States voting upon it - providing that hereaftor tLore símil bo no denial of thc electoral franchise or any exclusión of any kind, on account of oo'or ör race. Ho concludes by enmihöfiirrg the President of the United States, the Treasurer of United States, and tho United States Secretary of War before him asa pedagoguo calis up a class for recitation, öjives tbem their lessons and thon dis ni'sses school. The speakor mnrshalled a great array of dead and living authorities to embo!lisk his discouree, among whom werc Shakespeare, líoi'uco, (öOtGreeloj) Lord üokc, Cavaiguac, Miltuu, King Philip, Barbarosa, UuuaUnce, Jiluchor, Weliiugton, Fonliiiuo, aml niuny otijera whose naniüs may bo asuertiiinod bv reforuueo to vdIh'IVcs with lcaves lutncJ down in thu Athetiiuüui Lilttary. Tukd th'o speech ui! in :ill, it is the most conceitud, ilümaiioa', insoiont and dié tiitoiiul that ever 3Ir. SuÈKlof pronoani eed. It is IHtalignant to the last dogree, aud oouM 'ooly eumuiitü früin a iniud seekitig revenge and a heart too covvardly to strike the blows it would havo others ullict.
