Aa the KeprnientHtivo nf a people who in itiy cleolinn disrognnlvd nil partienn Issues, I took my scat upon this lluor with an earnest wish to imitate their sacrifice of nnlitioal mbo. cintiotis unj to work eurnestlj' ana heartily with those whose purpose was to vindicate the im periled integrity of the nation and compel nb dienoa to its legitimate nuthority. f!omiii from the shores of the Puoifio, from among a people many of whom know hy expo rienoa the Incnnveuienoe and the aeuic of help- lesaneaa to which a want of the protection ol the national ensign consigned them, I speak for them ami tlieir devotiou to the integrity of the Union with aomething of lha feeling that is Bnppnsttd to ha peouliar to thoae who have sullered from the oppressions nf other Govern ments and have at Inst limnil protection ana a noma beneath the folds of onr own banner. In early vouth. after a weary journey nf two thoniaud miles from the border of civilization in the valley of the Miseiaeinpi. I found mysell on the banks of the Columbia, within hearing of the rour of the great oocan into which it falls, in the midst of a wilderness of mountain and solitude, with only handful of brave but hardy pioneers to whom 1 oould appeal for pro tection and a home. The ownership of the country was undetermined ; tho value and re sources ol it were unknown t the subjects of the British Crown exoeeded in number the res idents who wore American citizens, nnd the majesty of national authority was unfelt and unknown. I often heard, sir. in those days of onr young State's early history, Iho Amorioan cltinen ex press Hi Dope tnat tne oay nugni soon cows when we enulil hoist the flair of freedom above our homes again and enjoy its blessings and protection. And when a toil-worn emigrant arrived from the fur-off land which we still loved to oall home, and brought a tattered news paper to the friend who preceded bim. its soiled pages were eagerly scunned to know if yet the vexed question of boundary had been settled, or whether we still must invoke iu vain the rights of American citizenship. The painful disappointment, the deep expressions of regret and despair which were common around me aa year by year passed away and we were icit without notico and without aid or protection from tho home Government, loft an impression nnon mv heart of the passionate devotion of an American citizen to tho flag and institutions of his oouutry which I shall ever reinemlior with the pride of one who believes that devo tion. to be not only Jost but honorable. And, sir, when after years of longing and impstionoe the nens came that the title to the domain where onr weak and scattered settlements were located was confirmed to the American Government a thrill of patriotic iny ran through out their length ; and when, on the 3d of March, IM9, the littlo ship that bore him to our snores landed the Governor appointed by the Presi dent at Oregon City, and his proclamation an nouncing that tho laws of the United rotates wore extended over tho country for its protec tion was issned, none hut those wtio witnessed the feeling that it invoked and the demonstra tions which greeted it can realize the joy that pervaded tlie community at again neing ne ueath tlie protecting care 01 tne parent uovern mont. , I allude to this nart of the history of our State to show how early and anient lias ueen the attachment of its citizens to the central Government, and when, in the height of its nrosporty we felt not only ite want of care but Its coitl and cruel neglect, the nrsi exnioiuou of a sense of justice toward us was met hy dem onstrations of gratitude and affection which showed how deep a hold tho love of our com mon country had upon tlie hearts or our peo ple. And the patriotism whioil they evinced then tliev cherish now : no trick of politics ur device of traitors can draw them away from the shrine of the Uuion nud their devotion to Ihe Constitution of the Republiov That dream of expiring .treason, tlie establishment of a ucilio republic, tliouch fur Ionic years cherished iu secret as part of :he plau to make teasiblo a southern confederacy, had no charm to alluro tho people from their firm allegiance. Though the Uvmoorntio party hru, np to tne ncunlioo of this rebellion, a luojurity consist ing of almost two to one of the votes of tho State witli it, nnd the chosen leader of it had been long the recipient of the confidence and highest honors of the people of the State, and in tho interest of his treasonable party as sociation forgot his own allegiance, yet nil these influences failed to drag tlie people of our State from tho lofty height of patriotio duty With every reason that partisan association and prejudices oould devise to seduce thoitl from the path of patriotism they stood fast and true, aud I stand here to-day to ex pre s my gratitude to the thousands of patriotio Demo crats who, in delianco of Ihe influences that had demoralized their party in tlie interests of secession and placed its organizatinu in the hands uf its fiiemls and sympathizers in the Pacific States, nobly rallied to the sido of the constituted authorities and have been their firm ud unwavering supporters through all the storm and doubt of this fierce rebellion. With these facts illustrating the Unionism nf the masses in tho State from which I oome aud perhaps from the locality, more than anything else, tueling less interest in those nnrstimis, the decision of which in favor of Ihe North by the presidential election of 1800 furnished the pre text for this rebellion and having no bitterness to revenge upon political enemies, I repeat, sir, I came here witli an Honest uesiro una an ear nest oornoso to co-onernlo with men nf all pnr ties in aidiu? to restore the authority nf the Government, and, I might add, with the belief that among all parties In this great and glori ous work the Government would lind friends. A few months, however, sir. passed in the States npon this side of the continent prior to the opening of the present session of Congress dispelled that hope and belief which I had so ardently cherished, aud I found myself com pelled to choose between two parties upon this lloor. as clearly defined in principle and pur pose and as antagonistic to each other at two political parties can ne nnaer tne sntne uovern ment and yet maintain the publio peace. I find, it is true, some gentlemen upon the other side of the House who evioco occasion ally both hy voice and vote an earnest purpose to aid the constituted authorities In maintaining the integrity of the Republic, but 1 regret to say that they seem too low in numbers aud in fluence to materially affect the action of their party ; and I have yet to near tlie boast or lost wiuter on this floor that the Democratic party, arrayed against the Administration, was a "wur party," or nas any longer any sucu pretensious As a Union man, therefore, representing i thoroughly loyal Uuion constituency, 1 could Dud no oilier menus upon vt uora i oouiu anteiy relv to houeatly labor for the restoratiou of the national authority than those with whom it has been my pleasure and honor to ace The pretense nnon which the Democratic party earriod the election a year ago, that they were for a more vigorous prosecution of the war. seems now no lunger insisted upon, and even those who thus succeeded ou a belligerent platform are to-day nudorstnod to he aa fully lodoctriuatcd with the "peace principles" that Emposo to disarm Ibis wicked rebellion of Its lowly purpose hy some scheme of concession to us guilty authors as the Known champion ni southern interests, Mr. Vallaudi0'liaiu himself. But I do not make this charge upon that patty upon the basis of its action during tlie past summer only. 1 go further, and affirm that from the time it drove men like Johnson of Tennessee, Holt, uf Kentnckv, Dickinson and Cochrane, of New York, Conness, of Cal ifornia. and Noell, of Missouri, and ruea like them, outside tbe pale of its organization, it has been an anti-war party, and a substantial ally of this lufatuoss aud treasonable reMhou SALEM, which soekj to destroy tlio bust Government thut human wisdom ever devised. Tbo fnet t!'t such men, tho soundness of whose partisan opinions was never iuipenehed, were compelled to renounce their Associations, is sufficient, evidence of the real animus of the organization, but the development of the Inst year ure sufficient to establish from their own declarations that the charge which I have made against them is as disgraceful ns it is true. Why, sir. turn to tho journals or tins body at its last session. -, On the J 9th duy of Deoeuv ber,. 1802, tbo hill making appropriations for tbo Army was voted npon ; and you will find that of tho forty-eight members upon that side of tho House voting that day only ton recorded their votes in ravor of the passage ol me mil. Thirty five absented thoiuselvos at roll-call, and three, with a manly boldness, which is an honor to their siuoerity though littlo to their patriotism,1 voted against the villi 1 There, sir, stands their record on the practical question of pay aud supplies fur the gallant armiu that, were theu fighting to maiutaiu the limor of the Kepiihlio, and whose wounds yet bleeding and fresh from the terrible slaughter of Fredericks burg found neither comfort nor aid at the hands of their Domocratio brothers iu this Houso, who had in many cases urged them to volun teer and go into the war so long as It was hoped that suoh a oonrso would tnnke McClellan Pres ident, and who utterly forsook them soon aa they found that their political expectations from the Army were not to be realized. And to show the Inconsistency of those who oppose the Government in prosecuting this war, some of tho same gentlemen who refused to record their votes in favor of a bill which gave wuge and clothing and food to our brave soldiers who were fucing the enemy in dendly conflict, have been voting resolutions to incrcute the pay nf tho same men at the present session. Last rear they would havo had the Government vio late its contract to pay them hy leaving it with out tho menus i this year they prnpuse to pay. them more thnn the Government agreed. This inconsistency in action is explained hy its en tire consistency of purpose ; by leaving them withtmt any pay lust year they hoped to create disaffection toward the Government; then by telling them thut they ought to Imvo more pay than they now get, they seek to foment disaf fection now. To weaken and demoralize the soldiers in the field being their purpose, this singularly diverse action Is easily understood. They asstiil the Government and seek to gain possession of tlie citadel of its power in ns many wars as tho burglar does who striving to euter tlie houso which he proposes to rob, tries first to break his way with sledge and bar, and failing resorts to the milder means of a false key, and foiled in all, rings the bell and asks admission to tho parlor of his victim in tho character of a gentleman 1 ' ' To prove how soon the Democratic leaders of the country became disciples of peace after tlie removal of General McClellan from the command of the army of the Potomac, 1 have but to refer to a few foots known to the coun try us part of the. history nf the time. Even tho onergetio member from Ohio, Mr. Cox, who is so frequently and prominently bel'oro the House, and who only a short time since de liberately voted and spoke in fav ir of a reso lution to seud oommi'sioners to Jefferson Davis to sue for peuue, ouly oue your ago was one of the must active fricuds of volunteering in his seotinn of the State ; and yet, sir, strange as it may seem, this rampant "war man" anterior to MoClvIlan's reinovul, lapses iu a fen' revolv ing moons into a meek advocate of an inglori ous peace, and the warm supporter of hi late colleague, Mr. Yallaudigham, for the office of Governor ot the state ol Ulno. I ne conver sion of Saul of Tarsus from the oliaraoter of a linn persecutor of the disciples of the Prince of Peace into that of an homble follower is said iu his owu account to have occupied three days, and the process was considered sudden, although the shuck was so great as to produce temporary loss of sight. How long the gentle man from Ohio labored under oouviotiou before ho rejoiced iu the light of a new life we may not preoiaely know, but iu mercy to tbo subject let us bono that tlie good Providence who watched over both the anoient and modem conversion permitted the tatter's mental vision, less puuislimeut, to be totally obscured, but did not allow the three day of bodily ago ny which the apostle suffered, "sorrowiug with out meat or driuk." But, sir, I will leave these personal reflec tions, and call your attention to other testi mony. Ihe btate of Indiana lias shown by every aot nf her patriotio people that she wo eiu- tiiiiiiiuiiuy iq lavor oi orusuiug ine reuviiiuu iy foroe of arms : aud tbe conclusive evidence of that is found in the creditable fact that in the President's various call fur troops she has always exceeded the demands made upon her. And yet the democratic ooinmitteo of hor Leg islature, chosen in the very hight of the war lever, winch swept through the northwest in 18U2, in the winter following issued au address iu which thi quotation occurs : 1 he State possesses no power in theory or in fact to stay tlie armies which now stand in battle array : and though the Christian aud humane mind uf Indiana might desire to see the effusion of bluod prevented, it, alas ! is powerless to stop the curnago which is hurry ing her sons to early aud 'tlrangcr' grave." bee tbe smooth lolds ol the secession viper beneath Ibis ingeuious sentence. Her people are told that their suns arc filling "stranger" graves ; that wheu they pass heyoud the limits uf their own State they are upon "striinger" soil ; that though the national flag waves alike io suprtmaoy of law over every rood of ground that ever acknowledged the national authority. yet when the brave defenders of that authority march to Us defense, when treason ha torn it from it place, they are marching npon "stran ger" soil, and Invading tbe land of a foreign enemy. They continue : Ihe committee is lar from thinkinir the war is the rightful remedy fur our national troub les ; tiny helivcs the reverse to be true," ko. So much for the peace organization which so suddenly sprang into vigorous existence at the period ol our national adversity ayearago in lb State of Indiaua. I turn now to Connecticut, one of tho New England Stales. The party having coutrnl of the deiuocratio organization in that State placed in tlie field as their candi date for the office of Governor at lb last an nual election a gentleman who, in a letter which was said Io have beeu addressed by him to a Southern rebel ns to the truth of this I cannot speak, but Ihe authenticity of the letter has, 1 holieve, been admitted declared that i I abhnr the whole scheme ofttouthern in vasion, with all it horrible consequence of ra pine aud plonder." . "Thousauds ot ns are beginuiuiug to sec there can be no Uuion gnt in this way." " 1 hose who drivo tbo car or war at this lime have no mere idea of auving the Union by their bloody tacrine than they have of changing the course of nature. In speaking of the uew lesie of that year for luop, he characterize thou aa demand "for the hospitals, to marshes, to uitche and gnnhoat shambles ;" and winds in hi dolorous epistle by denouncing the war fur the Union as au "iniquity which he would be found ex posing to the uud of the chapter i" and addiug that "thiugs bate gone to far that the only pos sible cbanoe to restore the Union will he by the adoption uf a Christian policy, Very differ ent Iroin that which at present prevails at Washington." Hre bow skillfully the doctrine of secession it again made to underlie Ibis whole letter. Tbo attempt to take possession of the property own ed and held by the. Government of the Booth era S t'atr' and disperse thoae who were seeking llic destruction of i s admitted authority wiUi aims io their bsnds, is "called "a tclumt of Southern tntiinim." as If this government had not a right If necessary, to occupy every font of ttw o-iU'inal teliitory. This talk abvut the OREGON, MONDAY, MAY invasion" of Southern territory shows how ful ly the democratie organization nf the present day has been imbued with the idea of State Bnpremncy which was the political heresy from nhioh all our present troubles havo come, and sounds strangely at variance with tlie denuncia tions which nave necn appneu within the last row weeks to the honorable gentleman from Penn sylvania who sits near me, Mr. Stevens for announcing what they coll a similar doctrine. Like the inebriate who Junoied that bis frieuds were intoxicated and he only tuber, these gen tleman charge upon others tbe sin which is mns tupparent In themselves, and I suggest to them the laDgaage of Scripture i "First oast out the beam oat of thine own eye. and then shalt thnn see more dearly to oaat out the note out of thy brother' eye." This letter was wa written in July, 1WB, months before that Chrittian policy whlbh the writer alluded to was published at Washington. I meau (what he did not) the policy of oalling to tho aid of the national foroes the sympaties and assistnnoe, tho hearts and hands' of the slaves that had tilled the fields and grown the subsistence upon which tho insurgent depend ed, i So that whatever exaase others might have given fur the war, growing out of the emanci pation of slaves, tbo author oi this letter can now plead no suck apology, i I will not occupy my time in reading extract from tbe speeches ojVallandigham, or from the letters and utterances of Judge Woodward or nf Wiokliffe of Keutuoky, to prove the un faithfulness of the democratic party to the duty of prosecuting this war, as it sentiments are proclaimed by its chosen leaders in the various States. Suffioe it to say that the proof is am ple and overwhelming. If anything further were wanting, it Is found In the votes of tho minority npon this floor tinoe the beginning of the present Congress. It was well said by a fiiond who sits near mo that when tho wants of the government were such that their aid was ant needed, it was ten dered with alaorlty , hut when ; measures which most required uuanimity were demanded it was persistently and fnutiouslr reuised by the minority. , The bill authorizing bonntlet for volunteeri, when it oould he used to postpose tho only jnst and sure method of filling np the wasted ranks of the Army by draft wa readily sanction ed ; hut when tho hill for tbe perfection of the system for calling tbo neeussary forces Into tlie field, demanded by every consideration of pa triotism And duty, wot pending, it was delayed day after day hy tedious efforts at amendment, and nt last passed after hours ol frivolous waste of tinio in dilatory motions to InTpede its pas sage. bir. tho sama impatience or control nnd de nial of the right of the majority to rule, which this southern rebellion has exemplified, finds its counterpart npon this floor. Why was it, sir, that wo wasted two days, in largo part, npou this floor Iu deciding dilatory motions by yens and nays, a proceeding whioil Ihe people everywhere view as not only disgraceful, but which, if persisted In, would lead to a suspen sion uf the legislative brunch of tho Govern ment, and dually to nnurohy and revolution 1 And where, sir, is the American citizen who would not blush when told that the measure, the passage of which was thut savagely re sisted, was limply a resolution affirming the language of tbe Cotntitutiou on the subject of tho punishment of treason 1 It is because, sir, they nro a party of revolution, allied in prin oiple with (ho causes whioil led to Ibis rebel lion and, much as they may seek to conceal it, the sympathy between them will, despite all their efforts, color their line of conduct. And. tir, if you want to know whether those gallant men who are bearing our flag through the storm uf battle to a final triumph havo met with a temporary check, look into the smiliug countenance of some gentleman who anathe matize this "abolition war." Yoa can tell from hi oomplaoeut brow that it is unnecessa ry to patronize the newsboy to tlie oxtent of the price of nn evening paper to get the news. Your country's reverses are written in the smile that plays sneeringly on the features bo fore you. And if yon want to k':ow how Jeff Davis' heart beats, take your frieud by the wrist, and yon will toon get the guaga of the rebel pulse. I do not mean that these remarks shall apply to all who are associated with the minority iu this House, I am happy to know that there are exceptions to this general tendency of the policy of that party, and I regret to lie com pelled to say they are but few exccpliuus and uotlimg mure. While 1 am upon Una tohieot permit me to allude for a moment to the extraordinary speo tacle presented on this floor on the day of the organization of this body. By the lingular rule adopted by the Clerk of this body at its lout session, a nomuer or gentlemen loond themselves likely to be defrauded of their right to seats on this floor. -And then here we wit nessed a development which startled men fur the moment, of a deliberate ennspirnay to dis franchise a number of the loyal States, and hy a quibble, as narrow a it was mean, give Ihe minority the control or the organization of tins House. And, sir. the men who always and persistent y claim that they are for the rule of the people were here voting to sustain that In famous conspiracy. The State of Louisiana, sloened as she is iu Ihe crime of treason, without any organized government except what III general govern ment has established over her by force, with out State officer, and without even Ihe sem blance nf a fair election or legally authentica ted certificates, sent horo two mon to claim seat upon this floor, the name of one of whom wa written upon the secession ordinance of the State when she lorgot her allegiance to lha Union ; ana though all these Tact wore known to the world, in dc-Ganoe of all decency they took their places on tbe floor of this Hull. And not content, sir, with this outrage upon the privileges of thi House, the Representa tives from loyal Slates that had never been Io rebellion or in sympathy with rebellion wen excluded from their places, while theso interlo pers, who had no more right than a tinner hat to a scat in heaven, were quietly Installed in these cushioned chair in the national Con gress. And to prove conclusively that all (his bad a partisan purpose, member elected hy a majority counted by thousands, as was the oase with mysell were not only excluded by this ar bitrary ruling uf the late Clerk, bo when the motion wa made to insert their name upon the roll of member of the House, the wliule vote on the other side of the House, inoludiiig tho two who were swindled iu from Louisiana, woo eal solid against as. Talk about Ihe crime of secession ! What lunu of rouroaoh can truthfully characterize Ibis bald attempt to disfranchise whole Slates at a tingle blow J Gentremeu have shown a great deal of Indig nation at the alleged usurpations of the milita ry in regard to elections. I do not apologize for these things If true s but I do tay that such affected indignation comes with no III grace from those who deliberately cast their votes on this floor to dulranchis whole States nr a rr- islative decree. Sir. legislative nsnrpatiuols nc more tolerable with mo than military usur pation; and with this record behind them I should think that our friends ou the other side aould not have' much taste for discussing the nneitiou of the diifranrhittment of the people. liut enough of this. 1 am merely Hating the reasons which have operated on my uiiud as a Union man, whoso sole object and porpose here are to serve the cause of onr Imperiled Union, and to give every aid and assistance that I can to its authorities iu maintaining iu integrity, for co operating with. those ou tins side of the Ifonae. . I hare indicated the ob ject and animus of ihe organization of Ilia peace parly no this floor and In rheoonntn, and thowu that neither biking (is profrsiioos or practice h It to tie irosteii, and now, sir, I desire to ttnte affirmatively why 1 go kesrtily with Ihe geutleuieu elect eq at republican in 9, 1804. a Union mon, who occupy seats on this side of tho Chamber. We are iu Ihe midst of the grandest strug gle nf either undent nr modern times. A. war whose gigantic proportions stretch along a nav igable line of coast And river some five thou sand miles in length ; that embraces an area nf territory larger than was ever before sub. initted Io the arbitrament of a single contest, involving an expenditure of money and of life whioh has no parallel In modern history, has been for two years and a half drawing npou the resources und exhausting the energies of our people. A war begun strictly on our part in. self-defense, and ooiiduoled with all the mildnoss which a kind-hearted Chief Magistrate could throw into the contest, ft has at last reached a point where una side or the other ml bi conquered, lsegun in order to perpet uato and aggrandise an institution the very existence of winch In our free government has ever been a standing reproach In the eye of the civilised world, and hat almost, neutralized our example at a republican nation, it hat gone en Increasing in intensity and bitterness until no one pretends.' with any sort of reason, that the cause of the War can nirvive the straggle. Hlavory, In a moment nf folly,. mad with itt owu power, preoipitatcd a couliiot that can now only end in its destruction. . , Without cause, and, I may add, without ex oose, the champions of slavery began the war, made itt exislenoe an Issue, and now, tir, they must take tlie oonsequonccs of their notion. As an institution which it was thought the na tional Government dnro not attack, it was made the nolwnrK behind which rebellion was te Intrcpoh itself in safety aud standing as it did in front of the enemy, as its broustwnrk nnd defense, we were compelled to either de molish it or give np the contest. It it the very life of military snocoss thut we strike onr ene my where he will most keenly suffer from the blow.. If we mean to bo victorious we must do that which will inflict npon him the greatest injury and harm us the least ; and, sir, by de stroying slavery In the rebellions Status we de prive our enemies of every otsentlal element of success. , W lint only destroy tho means nf success hut we destroy the motive to rebel. Take away slavery and they have nothing to fight with and nothing to fight for. Heiioo.tir, I stand with the Union party nf this House. Tho destruction of the institution in tho rebel Status is a necessity to the restoration of the Union, and I am for standing by those who will euforoo that policy. 1 It Is my misfortune to differ with many gen tlemen around me in regard to Iho capacity and destiny uf the African ruce. Whilo slave ry was undermining white society and threat ening its ruin it did little hy way of enlighten, ing tbe slave; and I nm glsd to know that thoro nro genliomeu on this floor, who do not share thoso opiuiuns with mo, and who hvliore in tho capacity of the freed men to bvooine prosperous residents and owners of tho soil, who nevertheless are looking to the moans of freeing hiiu from thoooutaot with demoralising influences and the prejudices of a largo portiou of our people. , I hail with pleasure, therefore, sir, every suggestion whioh looks to their vol untary emigration from among ns ; and when my frieud from Pennsylvania Mr. Kolley tho other day alluded to their natural tenden cy toward the tropical latitude of this conti nent, he presented a suggestion which, if prop erly improved, will prove a wise and practical solution of a problem of our social exietttnoe which is liable to become a dangerous and dis turbing question. . Sympathizing fully with the necessity for emancipation, it will nevertheless bring evils npon portions of the country which the highest wisdom can only modiry, not neu tralize. ' ' ' " Sir, if I may be permitted to say to here, I will sny that 1 never was in abolitionist. It not perhaps to my oredit that I nm not. never belioved in that wire-drawn theory ef tne transcendental rciormers who Insist upon the propriety of conferring equal political and social privilege upon all races. 1 do believe, and always have, that every man had a unto ml rij;lit to his liberty, and that oould only be taken away iroin mm wnen the good ami safe ty nf the ooramuinty were involved. Slavery 1 always hated ns an abomination in tlie sight of God and all good men ; but because I deny the right fur you Io enslave Sally nnd Dinuli I do not admit that I am bound to marry one or the other, and uocause 1 deny that you have the right to sell aud oppress tbo negro I must pluco him in tho tamo relative position witli other white citizens.

Auxiliary to this tchemo of abolishing slav ery io tlie rebellious territory is that other plan uir arming me ireuii popuiuiinu. vro all real ize what a change ho been wrought In the publio sentiment uf the oountry In relation to tint uneilinn. And, sir, whether it is because the people in the pressure for men to fill the quotas of troops demanded were willing waive their prejudices in relation to Ibis olass ol persons, nnd accept aid wherever It oould be obtained, or uuvu cuiiio to the oouclusion more complimentary to the prowess of the ool ored volunteer, the faot is that public seuti mem nm oniy jasiuies nut uetiiainis their em plnymont wherever they can be used to ernsh thi rebellinu. It Dot only aidt in reoruitiug Ihe ranks of our army and destroying the basis ol the rebel power, but make the future ox isteuoo of the institution of bondage Impossible, It is singular that while the prejudices or tin aorthern people loug prevented the employ ment of uegror to aid In overthrowing Ihe power of Ihe rebellion the rebel were loo wise ui be betrayed into such folly.

' - I do hot stop to inquire into tbe constitution, ality of Uio emancipation of slaves, and their employment in Ihe armiei of the Union When red handed treason is grappling at the throat of the nation it is no time to higgle about the mean of flefenss.i If any man' oodeof action wai snob that , be could not da fend himself from tho assault of I robber or an assassin without violating it. he deserve to be mulct or murdered ; land if "the occasion arose when he must break his rn la or lose his lifo, I should honor his bronoh of u creed not worth preserving. . And, sir, if tho frameri of the constitution so made it that our Govern ment was to havo no powers of resistance when assailed by traitors, it deserve th destruction wbieh it it doomed.,' Suoh a construction or it would he an Imputation upon its illustrious authors af an Imbecility whioil my resneot for their momory win not permit mo to inuuigo. have ne samples on that score. 1 1 do not be- lie' ve that when a traitor raise the tword to strike at the heart of tha Union, be has a right cram the constitution into the face of ita do-1 ider and say "You have no right to take life ihmit due prooess or law." lty the very aot resistance to It he loses nil the IMnolits It confers upon a citizen. , 1 will not Insult the memories or those who framed our constitutiun by intimating that they ! made a government whioh when It most need ed it had least power ; committed the supreme folly of making a government that oould only exist by sufferunoo, and was at tha entire mer- nl any set 01 traitors Who might teen lis do- ttrudtiou. Sir, they did nut do it. It Is of the verv esseuce of government that it uossetles the power of self preservation, as it it of life that Us possessor has tbe right to preserve it by ny means which necessity demand. A gov ernment that does not possess this right is a client and a shadow. Do gentlemen who de ny the right of tins government remember the istory or their own party 7 1 no last administration under Sir.

Instead or tlie exhausted delendors or nlygamy, we suddenly discover a great want power! '''. But, sir, I have a little authority on this tub- ot which I desire to submit. Within the reo- ollection of nil of us, Mr. Chairman, Jolt'erson Davit was SeereMry uf Wur nf the' United Slates. During the prngreii of those tonne which leddened the virgin toil of Kansas wilb the blood ot brulhers.lt pleated tbe Chief Mag istrnte of the nation to declare certain classes of our citizens there In a state of "rebellion hey denied that resistance- la the bogus laws foroed upon them by a legislature elvoted by a Missouri mob was rebellion ; but the Adminis tration claimed that it was, aud Mr. Davis, as ecretrny of War, ordered Ihe military force of tbe United States to -disperse those people wherever foun J, and hero is an extract from his Iter nf instruction to Gen. Persifer F. .Smith, then in command of that department : " The positinn or tho liiniirgentt Is that ol of open rebellion against Ihe laws and cnnstl tutional authorities, with such mauifesutious of a purposo to spread devastation over ; th laua as no longer iiistines lurtiier uctiinuon Indulgence. Patriotism and humanity like require thut rebellion should be promptly eruthed?' .... . .,..;... We havo heard uf "chickens coming home roost," and I think a better illustration of this timely adage was nevor found than iu this case. What be said Iu I noli I eolm Iu 1W. Patriotism and duly alike require thnl rebel. ion should be orushod," Sir, when bo was in authority and othcri were supposed to ques tion it no dilliculty or a constitutional charac ter was found to prevent his crushing it ; no right ot the majority to prescribe their own government, nowaday! called seoet-ion, wot permitted to intervcuo between rebellion and punishment. As to mo lawiui rigni oi mote iu the rebel lious territory, 1 have no difficulty. 1 believe neither in the doctrine of Stato rights nor State muide. A loyal citizen ol this government onnnot have hi, right, taken Irom him hy bis neighbors. The result m their action may de prive him of the means of assorting and exer cising them, hut they exist In bim legally, un impaired. And aud a tuan who repudiates bis duties lu this government can, iu iny iipin mil, claim nothing trout It. 1 bt doctrine that a Stale can commit political auicid ia com oletely answered by that provision of tlie eon stitotiou whioh says the United State "shall guarantee tn every Stato in this Union a re. nub lean lorni ol government." it I made our duly to preserve what a majority of the oitizens of a Slnla might leek to dettroy, tht utegritv ol the form ol the elate government. And to long at one man within its limit itnntlt by hit allegiance and deftui tbe rulo of rebel lion, he ha a light in oianu irom this govern ment, the enforcement of the covenant. Entertniniurtlieie views. I have du hesitation iu Indorsing the plan of the President for restor ing the Statu goverumeot. It look In their preservation Instead of annihilation, and pre. cut a practical plan by which Ihe constitu tional guarantee oan bar made effective. Th preliminary oath required seems to me to bo without objection. The cotnplaut that it is an iinpntatiou upon th loyalty or a faithful cm ten seems frivolous. At well might a man claim that to require an oath tu ipoak tbe truth at a prerequisite to delivering testimony in a Oonrt ol jiisiic was mm inpesuMiiuaut ui ma ve racity. This teudurnes aboui laiing extra, constitutional usths ha it origiu In a tympa thy for traitors which I think is ton apparent to li misunderstood.

Mr. Chairman, I mn for the Union with ; every star in Its place, redeemed, regenerated, and purified, as it will be by this war. . , -. , m And now, sir, I wish tn make a few observa tions In regard to our duty here. , . ' This war has shown one thine clearly, and that it, that the people on both side are lu ear nest. And 1 may add tliat if In this respect , there is any difference, tlie rebel are more' thoroughly in earnest tlmq are we, Myself a, native of Southern Statu, and -kuowing tin spirit that animate that people, I can under- '! stand the desperate energy which they , hat thrown into this contest. I do not believe the tale that have from time to tin been told at i witli regard to the affootion of the people for the Uniou and their forced submission to th rebellion. They ore, in my opinion, the most thoroughly united peoplo Iu this, eontoat that ' ever throw down III gage of battle.- Every ' slaveholder It fighting with the desporatien. f - despair to retain hi property, and the pear-' white man who serves in the rank i fighting' with no loss determination to prevent being placed by tho law on an equality wilb the slaves. It may he tnid that till lattqr feeling T is all prejudice, and. I may grtut it. Still; It it a faot. And for proof of the ttrength and bilteruesi of that prejudice, I appeal tu alt ley.

However ; wrong they may be, they will remain e til i this war has beep, fought through. .. . . , . - And right here, Mr. Chairman, let me say, that I oannot agree with those hamane ideal so frequently advanced oa the other side ef the House that ye. ought not to oenfisoate the property of the rebel raarrastkat by doiig you drivo bim from repeolanee and prolong this war. I oannot comprehend the priioiple whioil permits ut to take life with Christian propriety, b it is shocked at the thooght of tak-1 mg properly.: And, ir( if w eaa tako life' "without proem nf law," as means of put tiug dowy this rebellion, can we not take prop. , erty for tbo tame purpose 1 ' As to our con fiscating property being art incentive to them ' to continue tbe eonlcft, Ihey had thrown tbetr ' ail into the contest before, and nothing hot suocnss oould save il to lliem. . , But to roturu In the subject, To-day, with. . all hi defeat Hid reverses, Jeff Davit delist ut with, the best army that tbe Confodracy 1 seen men who when et ia the stern tlrifa of) battle, are the rqalt or any in tbe wide wirld.;- The rebellion it compressed, cramped, but it I . ... , i - . , , iioi nroaen ; ami gentlemen ueoieve inemseive who think we are te have an early and easy '' cnuquuat. A single nilaforlune to Grant or' Meade might place n next autumn no nearor, our object than we are to-day ; and. air, I be lieve that it is our duty to look Ihe danger that threaten in the face, and prepare tn meet the ' most tremendous shock of thi war.

And ' lastly, wheu, beueatli tbe bauuer of Grant, th gallant Hooker who wa rubbed of the glory , and the laurel of Gettysburg stormed the eleucVonppt'd height of Lookout Mountain, ind rolled back th tide ol the nmy upon in plain of Georgia, why wot it that tb result t of the tplrndid triumph were lott t It was be- , cause we were anil without men or means to MIOW.
