Whon the House oi Representatives adjourn
ed on Friday the 7th instant, it was announced
that Hon. A. H. Kenan would deliver aa ad~
dress in defense ol the Conscription Act of
Cangresa, in that Chamber at 7 o'clock. At the
hour, the hall wae filled, mostly by members of
the Legislature. Mr. Kenan rose and adJress-
ed the assembly as Georgians.
He said he appeared before them as oncot the
Representatives ot the people of Georgia to
give an account to them for hia votes in aipport
of the conscription law of Congress last April
as well aa the late act. It was proper he said to
go back aud notice the condition of the coi)ntry
at the time Congress voted that the i~ ni-tnths
men should continue in service, and its ciindi-
tion now. Then—at the time the first cor.strip-
tion act was passed—tho enemy knew that we
had 300,000 men in the field, 200,000 of whom
were 12-months men, leaving only lOO.OOOhien
war-troops. The Yankees were wait in j lor

the States. Well, suppose the several Mates
should send in 300 more regiments ready organ
ized and officered; we would then have more
regiments thau could be kept up. >Ve
soon have regiments with no men in them, t ne
truth is, said Mr- K., the States have nothing to
do with'making war or raising armies. 1 ne
Confederate Government alone can raise armies
and make war. If this war should ever t
fought through to a successful termination,
Congress, and not the States, muot do it It
every State had organized and officered its ow n
troops, would we have had a Beauregard,
Johnston, a Bragg or a Lee t The men atways
thought a “regular” was a horrible thing tiL
Xhey fought under one. If all the 13 States had
organized their own troops and appointed the
general officers, when they all got into the held,
who would have commanded ? Our boys would
never have selected Lee, or Beauregard, or
Stonewall Jackson or Johnston to command
them. They did not know them, and your Cdy-
ernors would not have appointed them. 1 nese
men have been in the army and not in eml
life. They have devoted their lives to the nrarq
tial service of the country, and have not mixed
among those in civil pursuits, and would have
been the last thought ot to be toted into office
by our men. 1 tell you, but lor these \Y est
Pointers, much as they are abused and sneered
at, our army would have gone to nought long
since. „ ,
VVhen the militia ia called—when the the
whole arms-bearing population is called out ert
masses—then the men have a right to choose
their officers. The constitution gives them the
right in that case. But when the govern.--***
raises armies, ttie men have no- "*« rl S hl 10
choose their officers for yoD.OOO volunteers,
it would only have a few tights
over the forts, arsenals, Iso one had any
idea of the magnitude of the war—oi the vast
proporiio.i3it has since assumed. President I'a*
vis was the only man who from the first contem
plated the nature of this conflict. He wanted
war-troops trom the first, front the foimauon
oi our uoverumeni he was firmly convinced that
a desperate struggle was before us, and favored
the most energetic and thorough preparation,
but Congress did not agree with him, and chd
ing tho officers,” and they conceived that tb s
clause would be nugatory, if they allow
the men from their State to go into service
under men appointed by the Presides P 1
ciselfr similar to the objections urged to con-
scription in this State- This is the saute
old “blue light,” Hartford Convention idea,
imported from puritanical New England.
The Governor of Georgia now urges the Le- i
gislature to resist the Conscription Act the j
same as these Yankee fanatics did the Ge.no- ,
ral Government in the war of lbl2.
Georgia is the' last State that ought k> <• on |
plain and resist this law. Georgia has not j
yet been invaded. We have not yet suffered
at our doors anil in our estates from the pres- j
ence of a hostile foo. Tho batt ! es in our de- i
fense Lave been fought hundreds of miles .
away from us The Virginians have suffered i
in person and property to an ext eat that you
who are fit home and far from the enemy can
not appreciate. Y.-u have never had jour

should soon have use for them—that the aboli
tionists would be down upon us with their skilled
and seasoned veterans, and our new recruits
could not meet them as they had to he met.—
What new recruits—what men who had only
been in service for two or three months could
have fought like the old troops well drilled and
seasoned, did at Richmond, and Winchester and
Sharpsburg f We wanted to keep the 12-months
men in the field. It was indispensable. We
would have been whipped and crushed betore
now, had is not been done, no matter how many
new troops find been brought .into the field last
spring.
Georgia now, with her 65 regiments m the
I field, did not have more than 35,000 men in ser-
I vice. We had not the men to replenish the
I ranks and keep these regiments full; and if the
twelve months men were even now discharged,
we could not fill their placcB. They cannot be
spared from the field. We cant allow them to
come bump- The people did not at the time
know that we had not the troops to spare—that
we had not the men at home to fill their places
if they had been discharged, and the people now
do not know it—yet such is the fact. The gov
ernment had remained silent and endured all
the abuse of those who apposed conscription and
never let the world know the true reason it was
adopted, because we did not want to let the en
emy know it. We had 500 regiments in the field.
Their strength varied from 800 down to 100. We
haye not now more than enough men at home to
keep these regiments full.
Jt wap the do'jr of Georgia, said Mr. K., to
keep her old regijpei.tp full. Sfie ha* put them
into the fieid and must keep them up, and not
go to making new regiments. Our 500 regi
ments in the field must either be filled up as they
are decimated or they must be consolidated.—
Will the people consent to their being cqnacii
dated f Would the old soldiers, with the glo
ries they have achieved, with their blpod-ptaiued
and tattered banners, and their immortal deed:*
and the world wide renown they have made
consent to to be merged into new regiments
with treeh, raw, inexperienced civiliana to com-,

must not be done. Tne old regiments must be
filled up as far aa possible, but no mere new.ones
made. One hundred new men put into an old
regiment, with its old, well-drilled and experi
enced officers, are far more efficient than two
hundred men in a new organization; and one
hundred new men put into an old organization,
makes that regiment far more efficient than a
hundred men trom the old regiments put into a
new regiment would make it.
But some say they are willing to fill up the
id regiments, but don't like conscription.
should iik e t u know, said Mr. Kenan, the differ
ence between conscription and drafting ? Jt^is
taking a man that wont volunteer, and putting
him into the service, and I tell you that .any man
can at any time go into the ranks of any regi-
ment.he.chooaos, and has been able to Jo so all the
time, notwithstanding the contrary is, and has
been persistently asserted by the opponents of
the measure. Any man can this day go into any
company or regiment he chooses, provided it is
not full.
It was urged that the men going into service
had the right to elect their own officers. It seems
to be forgotten that the privates have other
rights besides this. Mr. K. had been a careful
observer and had noticed that the men, in every
ease, after living once andcr jSre, wanted expe
rienced, well drilled officers, not raw men.—
Nothing is so important to them. No soldier
after living in battle ones would consei for s raw
civilian to be plsoed over him.

them a.l and can not ne impored on by them.—
He was one of our chief men in the Mexican
war. He was long in the United States Senate
and was in the War Department during Pierce’s
Administration. There lie learned all the old
army officers and know B theii a orth. No one
else could have filled his place. . He has, too
the nerve to remove men w hen they are inconi
petant. He promotes^ them when they wii
their spurs, and supplants them when they fail
Uccasionaay we read of officers who are order
ed to report to Richmond, That means that
they are to retire, fjis ability and success in
hi3 administration have extorted praise from all
the world—even Lincoln’s government and the
people of the North acknowledge it. There is
no.opposition to him from any quarter in all the
Confederate States, but in Georgia, alone.
But some say Mr. Davis is weak, vacilla
ting and unstable. Well if this be so, let us
gqt around fiim amt lupport him, Let us
cluster our united strength and sustain and
encourage him. If he is weak and incompe
tent, let us never stand off at a cold distance
and paralyie his arm and efforts by criticis
ing all that he does, and weakening his eve
ry effort. In a few weeks Lincoln’s abolition
proclamation must be met, and I rely upon
the people of Georgia to stand by their guns,
and defer all these wrangles till after the
Yankees are whipped, and then settle those
questions afterward. Till then, I will yield
all my ideas of State Rights and State
Sovereignty for the public good. After that
is accomplished, I am willing for State Rights
to resume their sway and be fully conceded.
I am a conservative man, and 1 respect any
man who pleads for the preservation of the
Constitution, but we are now fighting to test
the question of whether we have a Constitu
tion. It is not yet settled, wnether we are a
nation. Oar independence bar not yet been
either acknowledged by other nations, or es
tablished by our own strength, and it is ridic
ulous tq set up the Constitution as our stand
ard whim wo have not vindicated our right to
have one. We are not a nation, yet here we
are, squabbling about rights and the Consti
tution ! I tell you, our Constitution is to be
established and State Rights won by our gal
lant boys in the field. Our liberties are to be
▼indicated in blood poured out freely by the
bMve, and not by discussing Cjnstjtutional
rights in these times
Mr. Kenan here stated that the opposition
to the General Onvommo^.t upon the grounds
assumed by many persons in this State, was
nothing new It took place in New England
in the War of 1812 The New England States
—Governors and People—put themselves in
opposition to the power of the Government
to call out the troops of these States, against
the wiii of their Governors He quoted from
Ramsay’s History of the United States, vol
3, pp. 253-6, where a succinct account of this
New England rebellion ” is recorded. Con
gress, by act of April, 1812, had authorized
the President to oall troops from the several
States; and on tde 12th of June, he called
upon the Governors of Massachusetts and
Connecticut to detach such portions of the
militia ns General Dearborn might require for
coast defense. The General called on them
for what he wanted, bat they refused They
contended that the Constitution expressly re
served to the States the power of “appoint-
lsiana into the United States ?
point out his constitutional .autho.
so—yet he did it. Now suppose his co.
tional scruples had prevented them ? Y,.
would have became of Florida if Gen. Jack-
son had refused to cross the line when he
being Arbuthnot and Ambriston 1 Ho knew
when be came to the line, but he unhesita
tingly carried his army across it.
Some persons are greatly concerned abou t
Martial Law. What would have been the con
sequence if Gen. Jackson had not declared
and enforced it in New Orleanslie had no
authority to do it, and he knew it, yet lie
found it necessary ; he had the power and did
it ; and see what he gained by it! And what
great evil followed it ? He was indicted and
fined for it afterwards, and he cheerfully paid
the flue. When the danger was past—when
victory was won and the prosecution was com
menced againsthim if the civil court for this
violation of iaw be told the Judge to go on
and do his duty and that his soldiers should
protect him in it. The Judge did his duty
and fined the general $i,0UU, and he paid
it. Martial law has been declared in Rich
mond and Charleston, and it was indispensa
bly necessary, and the people of both these
cities had asked, and urged and begged for it
before they got it But some say that Jeff
Davis’ officers declare martial liw. Well,
Yan Dorn did but what followed ? His order
was revoked by President Davis.
Some were afraid Martial Law and the sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus was that
the Confederate Government might be able to
retain the conscript in the face of law and
right. It was not so, Martial Law is neces
sary in all wars. It aione could keep quiet
and order in the vicinity of large armies and
when battles were imminent. .Savannah and
Charleston and Richmond bad asked for it,
and it had in every case restored peace and
quiet and brought order out of chaos—yet it
was complained of.
Mr K. concluded by saying that if con
scription was wrong he was responsible for
that wrong, as he had supported both the bills
in Congress and defended the measure before
the couotry on principle, for the sake of it
self; and if it were all to do over agaiD, he
would do as he had in the past. He closed by
thanking the audience for ibeir attention, and
retired amongst their applause. He was fre
quently warmly applauded during the deliv
ery of his speech.
