SPEECH OF SENATOR TIPTON
In the UJs.Senate, the Question heine,
"Will Bie Senate Advise and Consent.
to the ConiErmation cf James LeTq
.trctiitr surveyor of Customs at the
; Port o!Aw oneans.7
Mr. T ptox f poke ftf follows r -' .
" Mr.T','fndcnt:rIhe constitutional
question that appeals to ma at this
hour is this can I "advise and con
sent" to this confirmation? If can
didaies sent here for appointment, have
ever held public trust3, it must be
Bhown, before I can vote for them.
that ia every public capacity, they
hve proven themselves safe and true.
In all the business transactions of
life, every -man desires to know that
the man who is employed, or the agent
that is appointed, ha3 always been safe
and true.
Tf T na l nrlxrafo IrwHtMnol run IVio
risk by employing a former defaulter
or swindler, that is my own. risk, and
1 must -sutler the consequences. But
when my friend calls upon me to se
lect him en agent, ana quotes the lan
guage ol a commission "confiding in
his honor and integrity," then I dare
Incur no risks, ' but must seek for un
doubted honor and integrity. This is
my friend's case : the former was my
own. -
"When I test the character of this
Rebel General Longstreet, by . the
rule of "safe and true," I find that he
received a military education from the
Government, and took a solemn oath
as a soldier, that he would defend the
interests of that Government, and pro
tect ncT nonor against tne world. Ana
that during her prosperity he lived
upon her bounty, wore her uniform,
and shared her honors : but as soon
as ; treason assailed her, and traitors
thrust at her heart, he trailed her flag,
broke his allegiance, and cllered his
life freelv. if therebv he mi?ht inherit
the honor of being her destroyer.
Jn behalf of the Government whose
agent I am, I dare give no "advice and
consent" that I would not give in my
own case or that of a friend, and there
fore must declare him unsafe and dan
gerous.
If I were a private citizen of Ne
braska to-day, and the President had
sent me in here for a confirmation, you
would ask my Senators; is Mr. Tipton
"safe and true" in the light of hi3 past
fidelity, and if informed that I had
proven flagrantly false within the past
tew years, you benators would never
confirm me. If my Senators offered
as a plea in my favor, that I had sub-
mittc J. to tne laws fcinco mv treason to
my neighbors, my country, and my
State, you might be willing that they
should give me omce in their own
good time, but would prefer to confirm
to a general Government office, some
one who had never been compeled to
come back to legal submission, by le
gal force.
For a national crime, this man has
not shown national repentence. He
submitted when the confederate flag
went down. And though he may say
to intimate friends that he is sorry he
went into the rebellion, that is noth
ing more than every discomfited rebel
feels who considers the price his btate
and section has paid for their temerity.
By this act we are to make him a co
operating Republican leader, while
those doctrines at the foundation of
our organization, and incorporated in
the party platforms on whicn Mr. Lin
coln was twice elected, and which are
the foundation of all our reconstruc
tion labors, have never received the
assent of his will, or been an article of
his political creed. "Such a man may
be taken on probation into a party,
and the time may come when he
might merit promotion. But I am
called upon to believe him little less
than a paragon of discretion, and wis
dom, and political virtue, because he
demanded that his accomplices should
submit to the Republican party as the
proper organization for restoring the
Government. Why should he not
very naturally do that? The party
had conquered him, and extended its
power had held the Senate and House
bv increased majorities had control
of the State goverments was enthu
siastic over its victories and stood
forth the only controling organization
in the country. He had been blindly
devoted to self-destruction, had he
thought of any other policy than that
of submission to such a power.
In this submission there may ne sa
gacity and prudence, without one par
ticle of true repentance and sorrow;
and in as much as perfidy and treach
ery has been the -rule, and decent fi
delity the exception on the part of
these rebels, prudence demands a full
probation. If more than half a life
was lived tq bring about a culmina
tion in treason, when the balance is
terminated, you can only come to a
conclusion,' as to whether it would
have been safe to have been promoted
to office. ' . i
But in as much as this appointment
can only be made, "by and with the
advice and consent of the senate," 1
can not advise thi3 appointment, be
cause l preier all loyal men or tne
South to him. I must advise the se-
ection of some one of them true
among the false faithful among the
faithless always ready to serve us
always ready toxlie if need be for the
old flag and constitution.
But also, prefer all loyal men from
he North to him. And if he is to be
sent from Alabama to Louisiona, why
not send some loyal soldier from the
North, to co-operate with these South
ern Senators, so many of whom- were
so lately from the North themselves.
But if neithar of these classes can be
made available, then I advise taking
for this place, some soldier who was
conscripted and forced to embrace the
stare and bars, as this course , would
pay a slight compliment to tnose
whose heart3 were not freely In the
cause of secession.
You can not say with any show of
truth that this act of magnanimity is
needed on the part of Longstreet. Al
ready we have removed all hi3 disabil
ities by law, and in as much as office
holding can be enjoyed by a few of
our citizens, we rob him of nothing,
when we say we restore your property,
right to vote, and to enjoy your once
forfeited life, but require you to look
to the votes of your rclcl allies for
your first promotjon to ofilce

time during the war. .To that c!as.? I
am not anxious to'euy, "corne to the
Republican partv and receive your
offices." I point them to fcix States
reconstructed, and to Gen. Grant in
the White IIoum, as an evidence to
them, that the power that crashed
them into submission s'iil live:.
Instead of offices and sots fnm f lip
Treasury, their cases would ba better
Viet by "a little more grape captain
jiragg.".- zir. Lincoln exhau3ed the
coaxing process, and we humble the
government whenever we adopt it.
Asa matter of party policy, I Eay
that every ex-rebel wiio comes to us
from the influence of office socking,
and not of hearty choice from princi
ple, only weakens our ranks; because
all such are always looking for a con
servative pretext, and in their with
drawals will divide at the South, and
demoralise in the North.
And when I am told by Senators
from the South, that Longstreet is to
be courted for his influence over oth
ers, I feel that the fancied case will be
worse than the original disease.
But there is one very ' significant
fact that should cause the prompt re
jection of this candidate, and it is this :
If his name was not here, no respecta
ble number of Senators would advise
to its presentation. The fact that the
President sends it here ha3 challenged
my careful and protracted examina
tion of its claims, but the more I ex
amine the more I revolt at the
thought of confirmation, until I would
vote it3 rejection, if for that vote I
knew I should go into political ban
ishment, and carry with me into exile,
all my aspiring friends. , .
With Texas, Mississippi, -Virginia
and Georgia still disorganized, and in
many places in all of them? the laws
a deaa letter, or openly resisted, this
is no time to "cast a tub to the whale,"
unless indeed it contains a bomb shell.
Let life bo made safe, and freedom of
speech and of the press be secured,
and every constitutional amendment
respected before rewards of merit are
offered to late traitors, in preference to
tried devotion, maimed, impoverished
friends.
:. But, Mr. President, what do you In
tend to say, by a confirmation, to the
military graduates at West Point, In
all future time? Do you intend to re
verse the world's verdict, which has
always banished from confidence and
places of honor, the soldier who deser
ted his colors through cowardise, or
premeditatedly surrendered them to
the enemy? Do you intend to tell
those young gentlemen as they go out
to posts of duty, behold in the case of
Gen. Longstretft the penalty for trea
son, "forgiveness ana promotion to
civil office, before the fires are quench
ed, or the streams of blood have ceased
to flow."" ' Then would war upon the
government only be a mode of surren
dering a military trust, and of assum
1 n rr thfl rdd 5 crifirTi a rf rivt erv'otr
But on the assumption that this
man has repented of his treason, even
then, I would not restore him to his
former military rank. I would use
precaution and ordinary prudence.
And I certainly .would rather return
him to the army and place him under
all the restraints of the articles of war,
than to give him the opportunity of
peculation and fraud, where so many
men who had "not previously learned
to deceive and betray, have yielded to
temptation and fallen. j
But, Mr. President, the example
once set, and these exiled patriots will
think themselves badly treated, unless
they received the rewards of their
cheap repentance by speedy promotion
over ineir loyai neigiioors.
Sir, it will be regarded a3 no small
salary, that will reward one of them
for the loss of four years in the war,
and four in idle submission : and the
next question will be, can the salary
be drawn back to the date of the
firing on Sumpter.
lor such exhibitions the time has
not arrived. This confirmation would
shock the lojal sentiment of the
country. , ' '
If Andrew Johnson, after pardoning
all the thieves and counterfeiters; and
accomplices of the assassins of Mr.
Lincoln, and restoring the remains of
all the murderers to their rebel friends,
naci gone one step runner ana recom
mended Long-street for office, the mes
sage would have been indignantly
scouted. . -
There is much respect due the loyal
sentiment of the country, and it must
be consulted and gratified as far as
possible. The loyal men of the South
who gave property, sons and all they
possessed as the price of their loyalty,
who were driven to the mountains for
concealment rSid have since been dis
franchised by the rebels of Georgia, in
the forcible expulsion of their Repre
sentatives from the Legislature with
the people of other communities who
are even now mourning their recent
dead, where daily assassinations occur
a3 the penalty for faithfulness with
the maimed and invalid soldiers of
both sections of the country : together
with all that sturdy loyalty every
where that filled the Treasury with
money and the army with soldiers,
would be shocked at thi3 most unpre
cedented, illtimed and dangerous ex-
Eerience. That public seutimeot must
e respected. Without it money and
soldiers, ships and fortifications were
of little avail. But the loyal sentiment
was the tower of strength,. to which
liberty, 'driven by treason,' fled and
wa3 saved. " ; -
If. therefore, I belived thi3 nomina
tion fit to be made, and thought the
objections of the plain, honest people
only a patriotic fancy, even then I
would respect it, ana decline a connr
mation 'till there should be a3 unani
mous a loyal demand for it as there
was for his capture by Gen. Grant. .
" There is one huaiileating aspect
connected with this subject; I mean
the presence of this rebel uenerai, in
this city, in the capacity of an eqnal,
in competing for office with our brave
and true soldiers, of whom so many
are doomed to disappointment. He
was never their equal in honor; he
was never their equal in success, and
now he could not be their equal, if Gen.
Grant would stand by them as close
as they stood by him on the field of
battle.
Mr. President. (Senator Harlan in
the Chair,) I know enough of your
stern sense of honor, fitness and pro
priety, to say that if you had commit
ted the terrible mistake, to say . noth
ing of the deliberate crime that this
man did, you would never have al
lowed your 'hame to come here for
office, to be passed upon by the men
you attempted to slay. , You can not
better the case by paying he did not
as the office, bir, he is here m stri
king distance, so his friends can con
fer with him. and use his promises
and pledges to secure his confirmation.
How dare he, within five years of his
surrender, come here .in eight of tif,3
temple of freedom. to receive the hon
or of office from the votes of men who
held back his huld from applying the
incendiary torch. How dare he even
desire to. tread the soil of the District
NO. 83.
of Columbia. In all this I see only
bold, lold Impudence."
Sir. I can tec a very marked dLTcr
ence between christian kindness nnd
forbearance, and going down in the
dust, and seeking for co-operating as
sociates among a cla.-s of men whoso
greatest distinction has been the mag
nitude of their crimes. I can allow
him the privileges of a private citizen;
I will not elect him to office.

The feast was sweeter teeau.-o held

meeting was the life and death of the
glorious martyr, Abraham Lincoln.
.
Professor Laboulaye presided and
wa3 the first speaker, and M. Auguste
Cochin, the distinguished writer and
orator on emancipation, the Wilber
force of France, was the orator of the
occasion. The first spoke for half an
hour, the second spoke for two hour,
and not a man or woman of the seven
thousand person3 who crowded the
vast circus moved from their seats.
We never had more emotions crowd
ed into two fchort hours and a half.
Lincoln, liberty, the Republic, were
the texts of the orators, and at every
mention of one of these m.ic . words
the house was shaken to it very foun
dations by the cheers of the vast
crowd.
Professor Laboulaye, w ith t hat won
derful command of language for which
he is celebrated, drew a comparison
between the American system and
the present regime in France, which
avoided the law so adroitly as to ex
cite the hilarity as well as the enthu
siasm of the audience. Every men
tion of the Republic, of Washington,
of Lincoln, of Mrs. Beecher btowe,
threw the audience into an excite
ment we have never before seen in
France. '
Mr. Cochin was warm and eloquent
in hi3 eulogy of Abraham Lincoln.
He traced his life from his boyhood
up to hi3 death, and held him up as
a model of a patriot, statesman and
Christian man. He quoted from his
speeches and writings to show that he
was a great political thinker, and that
eiementary class of Ideas on which
great Governments may be built and
great deeds accomplished.
If j'ou have not yet "awakened to
the fact in America, you will soon do
so, that Lincoln is hereafter to take a
Etand as one of the great landmarks
in history. If you do not yet compre
bend the immensity of the role he
played in the political progress of
mankina, these people do. While
you are still embarrassed with certain
crudities of his character, these people
see nothing but his grandeur, and de
sire to Fee nothing more. They have
elevated for him in their hearts and
memores a pedestal as high as Wash

Short Sermon on Malt,
' The Rev. Dr Dodd lived within a
few miles of Cambridga, England, and
had offended several students bv
preaching a sermon on Temperance.
One day they met him. They said
one to another :
"Here's Father Dodd; he shall
preach us a sermon," accosting him
with
"Your servants."
"Sirs yours trentlemenT" replied the
uoccor.
They said. "We have a favor to ask
of you which mu.it be granted." r The
divine asked what it was.
"To preach a sermon," wa3 the re

"Well said he appoint the time and
place and I will." .
"The time the present ; the place,

said the students.
. "Tis an imposition" said the Doc

before preaching,"

The Great Commercial SixlVc,
! lVcst ts. East.
From the Flida and LeaOicr Interest. ' ;
In our. various trade article's W9
have had occasion frequently toallnde
to the commercial rivalry between the
great West and the great ICast, in tha
lines of manufacturing and merchan
dise at wholesale. This competition
has been increasing for years, till at
last the East has begun to realize the
results, in the retarded growth of her
general business ; while at tho same
time, she eaw her old customer the
great West, not only increase in con
sumptive power, but also Increp.se in
productive resources, and to the dis
may of the great East, demonstrate
the ability to supply a very large
portion of her wants, and also gives
promise, of a condition of things at no
far distant day, which will enable her
to bid farewall to the Atfanuo States,
as a source of supply, and set rp for
herself, as a manufacturer and whole
Baler, for her own Empire we- t cf tho,
Alleghanies.
We have watched the ir. crease cf
western manufacturing and western
wholesaling, with the same degree cf
anxiety, for the past five years. The
belief has at lat been forced upon nj,
that we are not supplying half tho
proportion of consumers thre to-day,
that Ave were in 1S0, and if W9 con
tinue to thus lose to an increasing ex
tent per year our hold upon Chicago,
Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee, and oth
er large and rapidly growing citin;
we shall show a most pitiable li-t of
accounts on our business ledgers at
the end of the next decado. To hold
on where we are, if. wo cannot get
back what we have lost, should be our
great aim and effort. This is only to
be done by instituting a sharp and
earnest competition; such a competi
tion as has not yet been organized ; 9
competition which will enable the
wholesale buyer to land his purchases
at any western city, at less cost than
no can possibly get them from the
wholesalers of hi3 own locality. Our
Eastern manuforturtrs must throw-
down the gauntlet to their sturdy op
ponents of the West, and wair a con
flict dire and desperate, or pradualiy
and steadily, and mt sun.ly, will
Western customers te. lost to- u 'and
cur transactions narrow down to th?
basis of a thir l ra producing nnl
