The Late Gov. Andrew On The Issues

The issues invclvud in tho politici1, enmpaign now in progresa aro thone of ! peace, not war, thoso of coaciliation and j reoonoiliation ratber thtm tho jicrpetuation of seotional strifo and enmity : or, furi thould be the ittuet. Touohing these let ua quote tho words of tho lato Oov. ANDREW, of Mass., uttered over eight y i ■ iis ugo, bnt M true and appropriate now is then. Speaking of reorganiza tion - niiscalled reconstruction - Gov. A. said : " We are desirons of tboir reorganiáati.m, mi 1 to end the use of the war power. Jiut 1 mu oonfideot we eaanot reorganizo political society with any proper seourity : Firit. (Jnless we let in the peopU to a oo-opertion, and not meioly an aroitrarily selected portion of thera ; 8amd. u nleas we give tbose who are, by their intelligence and oharaoter, the natural leaders of tho peoplo, and who surely will lead them by auil by, an opportunity to lead them now." And ngain as to the condition of things at the South, and tho sontiment of tho people touching tho ohanged relations growing out of or rr.sulting froni tho war : ' I am satUficd that tlie muss of thinking men at the South aooept the present condition of things in good i'aith ; and I am also satistied that with the support of a firm polioy froni tho President and Congross, in aid of the efforts of thoir good faith, and with the help of a conoiliutory and Kriierous disposition on the part of the Xorth, especialiy on the p-irt of those States most identified with the plan of emanoipation, tho ineaaurea needed tor permanent and universal welfare oan Burely bo obtained. There ought now to be ii ngoro prottcution of the I'ence - just as vigcruus as our recent proseoution Of the War. We ought to extend our hands witli cord;al good-will to meet the protfV-red hands of the South ; demanding no attitude oí humiliation fiom any ; inflieting no acts of humiliation upon any ; respecting the frelings of the conquéred ; - notwhhstanding the questiou of right and wrong between the partics heiligereni. We ought, br all tiio means and inBtrnmentalitioa of peace ; by all the thrifty inpthods oí induatry ; by all the ivcreative agencies of eduoatíon tnd religión ; to kelp rebuild the waste places and restore 6der, society, proRpority. Without industry md business there can i be no virogrcss. In their absence, oivilized mail even reoedes lowards barbarimn. Let Mnssachusctts bear in mind tho not unuatural Buspicion whioh the past has engendered. I trust that she is I ablö- filled with eraotiona of homvMesa joy, and gratitud. ■ to A.hnijrhty God who bas tri v. d such victory andsuch liouur to tho Right- to exeroüe faith in Jlis goodneas, without vain lory ; and to exorcise oharity, without weakness, towarda those who have held the attitude of Ju-r enemiuB. " The oftVnsp of war has iift its appropriate punishmi'iit by tha h md of 11' ir. In this huur of triumph, honor au.l ruligion alike forbid ono uot, one w ird, of veugeance or resentment. Patriotism and Christia: ity unite the argumenta of eartiily welfnre, and tho motives of heavenly ingpiration, to potsuade us to put off all jealonay an-.l all tv.ir, and to moveforward as citizeus and as men, in the work of soei.il and economie rooganization, eaoh oae doing witli bis inight whatover his hand Sndeth to ilo." Gov. Amibct' living wiis good authority with Republioans ; dead and almosi regarded aa i gaint bis words abould bn 1 ruthor than thoae of living dernfigogueii who wDul.l promote aectional strifü for personal ;n 1 ,arti.:;n en la.

And i:i t ï . i .- resolution is found hia indiotment against ti:e Detaoeratio party, h;3 proof th:it it will not abide in goort faith - as pledgod hy tho Cinuinnati-Baltimore platforin- by the amendmenta to the Ojnstitutíon, a rt's ■- lutiou offeced by ilr. 3Teve.n'8ON, of Ohio : Ilewlvei!, ïhnt wo recognize as valid and biiKÜDg all existing laws pHn:"! by Congresa for the enforcement of tlio thirteenth, fcurteenth and Bfteeuth amondinent to thw Constitution of the United Btatea, nd for tho protection of citizona in their righta imt(;r tlie Ccnstitution as amendcd. Comnsenting upon this resolution, Spenkrr Blnine srys : ' O:: Ihn votd r.j n tl:is reiolution there were H'7 to 05 nfty.

Brooks, of Now STork. that tlise amendnients are valid parta of the Con stitution. ao hmg as the samo men on the ame d:iy vote that the provisions of tho e auundiiiiiits should not bo enforced by Congresaional lijiislatiou." Mr. Hi-aixk indirectly asserts, and so nieans to be understood, that the Deniocrats of the House declarad by their votos " that th.xR amendmenta (the XIII., "XIV., and XV.) should not be enforced " by Congresaional legislatura." Hut the Dernoeratio uiembers, noither by speech nor vote, made any such dsclarotiön. In reci'rding their votes ogainst tho resolution aa given above, they simply refused to " recognize aa valid and bindiüs; "!' r.rUting late aised by Congross for the enforcement of tho thirteonth, fourteenth and fifteentli amnndmanta," t'iat and nothing more. Tbere is ; wiile liiï'.'ronce between deohiring that "the provisions of the amendincnta should not bê enforoad Ir, C ingreesional legislatiou'1 and refusing to "reoognize aa vali'l anl binding" cortaiu laws previougly enaoted, and soma of which laws they had protei te 1 ■■ fftinst aa uncoirstitiiional and void, icsted by the original art'.clee of the Codstítution or by the amendinentfl ■■ to.l. One of these Mnendmenta authoriz d the Presidont to iuapeud the writ of iii tw corpv where there was noither rebellion :i"i' invasión, in violation of the plainosl and uioit positiva Coristitui.ion.il prohiliïtiun, v.ad subocting tho citizens to arbitrary arrest md imprisonment at the will cf the int orhis partiaan underlings.
