HON. ROBERT TOOMBS, OF GA.,
Delivered in the Senate of the United State* Jan-
uarg 25, 1 SiiO.
[concluded.]
I have not sought lo bind them by the erv of the
mob; I have not gone to their pulpits, aud brought
up against them the wild ravings and revilim'S of
their spit hunt teachers, who evei v Sabbnili des
eerale the temples erected to the living God. I
have tried and convicted them by the record, it
has lately become the fashion wii.ii official members
of this party at the national capital to disavow as
radical Abolitionists, ilicce imptudtnt iu
proclaiming plainly tlu-ir policy. They seek to
discard this branch of the family. 1 must expose
their ingratitude as well ns their injustice to these
sappers and miners, the advance guard of the Re
publican hi inies. There i* a diffidence between the
Republicans mid ibis radical school oi finnison
and Philips Abolitionists; but the difference is in
favor ot the latter. The Garrison and Philips
school say our Constitution is pro-slavery; that it
does require the surrender of fugitives from labor;
therefore we can take no dath to support it, and
can vote for no man who will take such oaths,
either to keep or break them. This advance guard
of the army boldly assaults the Constitution itself.
Their conduct iu this respect stands out in honora
ble contrast with their allies who take oaths to
support the Constitution, and then break them.
Sir, I have said this v.as not anew principle in
troduced imo our Constitution. The Constitution
but affirmed a great principle which civilized socie
ty had lor more than twenty centimes loutid ne
cessary to iu peace aud security. I have shown
that it was inserted in the ordinance ol 1787, be
fore the Constitution was adopted. I have shown
that the New England confederation adopted it in
Iti-Pb The supreme judicial tribunal of Prussia
affirmed it as the public law of Euiope as late as
1855 or 18511. It was acknowledged to be u sound
principle of public law in the days of Petioles, and
its violation by one ct the States ol Greece was
the chief cause ol the I'elopomierian war, which
devastated Greece for twenty-one years. I ask the
lavor of iny colleague to lead from Thucydides
the passage which 1 have marl ed.
Mr. IVERSON read, as follows:
“After this, they sent embassadors again to Alli
ens, commanding them to levy the siege from be
fore l’otidii; and to suffer .Egtna to be free ; but
principally, and most plainly telling them that the
war should Hot be made in ease they would abro
gate the act concerning the Megareans. By which
act they were forbidden both the fairs of Attica
and all ports within the Athenian dominion. But
the Athenians would not obey them, neither iu the
iest of their commands nor in the abrogation of
that act; but recrimiuated the .Megareans for hav
ing tilled holy ground, and unset-out with bounds,
and tor receiving of their slaves that revolted.—
Rural length, when the last embassadors from
Lacedeinon were arrived, namely: Rhamphias,
Melesippus, and Agesunder, and spake nothing of
that which formerly they were wont, but only this,
that The Lncedemouiuns desire that there should
be peace, which may be had, if yon will suffer the
Grecians to be governed by their own laws,* the
Athenians called an assembly, and propounding
their opinions amongst themselves, thought good,
alter they had debated the matter, to give them an
answer once lor all. And many stood forth and
delivered their minds on the other side—some for
the war, and some that this act concerning the
Megarcans ougnt not to stand iu their way to
peace, but to be abrogated ; and Pericles, the son
of Xantippus, the principal man at that time ot all
Athens, and most sufficient both lot speech and
action, gave his advice in such manner us foliow
eth.”—ilobhex * I'llnri/Julfx. page (IV*.
.Mr. TOOMBS. This is the narrative of Thucy
dides, giving the causes oi the Peloponnesian war.
The Megareans had given reiuge to the revolted
slaves of Athens. Siie was in alliance with Sparta,
Athens had forbidden trade and commerce with
her until she gave up those slaves. Sparta sent
her embassador to Athens, and told tier to with
draw that decree. Finally, the Lacedemonians
said: If you will withdiaw your decree against the
Megareans, in the matter ot the fugitive slaves, we
shall have peace. The matter was debated. Some
then said it was a small matter; we will give it up.
Pericles addressed the people ; and 1 call your at
tention to a few words of his, announcing a prin
ciple which deserves the immortality it lias won:
t’.Vow, let none of you conceive that we shalll go
to war lor a tritle, by uot abrogating the act con
cerning Megara, (yet this by them is pretended
most, and that, for the abrogation of it, the war
shall stay ;) nor retain a scruple in your minds, as
if a small matter moved you to the war; for even
this small matter continued the tiial and constan
cy of your resolution, wherein, if you give them
way, you shall hereafter he commanded a greater
matter, as men that fear w ill obey t|u-m likewise in
that. But by a stiff denial, you shall teach them
plainly to come to you hereafter on terms of more
equality. Rusolve, therefore, from this occasion,
either to yield them obedience before you receive
damage, or, if w-e must have wav, (which, for my
part, 1 think is hi st,) he the pretence weighty or
light, nor to give way nor keep what we posse’s# iu
fear. For a great aud a little claim, imposed by
equals upon their neighbors, before judgment, by
way of command, hath one and the same virtue
to make subject.”— lbid, page 70.
The Greeks, too, under their league, had an arbi
ter, to whom this class of disputes might be re
terred. Tbis noble old Greek saw the importance
of a principle. Some ot his countrymen thought
jit tjo small an affair to lead to war; but his sound
| and eloquent argument was listened to and allii in
ch i the assembly ot the people, and bis policy
was adopted. The Athenians greatly and wisely
determined to vindicate this principle, and go to
war rather than surrender it. That war brought
unnumbered woes on all Greece. Even if I had
full knowledge that the same result would happen
to my country, I would repeat Pericles’ advioe to
my countrymen. If Grecian liberty has slept in
the tomb of twenty centuries, it slept without dis
honor ; if it pyrtsbed, it did uot perish ioglori
ously.
Sir, I will conclude liiU branch of the auijject
by rcadiugan e*uact from a speech of one of our
ow n great lights, which bus but receuily gone out ;
a man to whom the liigli liotior of being liie great
expounder ot the Conetithtion wag assigned by a
large portion ol tbe intellect and patriotism ; a
man whose lidehty to the L’onsuuition ot his coun
try lost bun the confidence ol New England. I
weed uol any the late Ilanirl \Vt*b S f t . r . J,, bis
speech of tlie‘4tub of June, 1861, at Capon Springs,
Virginia, Air. Webster said:
“I uo not hesitate to say and repeat that, if the
Northern State* refuee, wililullv and deliberately,
to carry into efleet that part of the Vonstilction
whioti respects the restoration of fugitive slaves,
the South would no longer be bound to observe tbe
compact. A barg in broken on one side is broken
on all sides.”
1 say the bargain is broken—broken by the
States whose policy I have reviewed; broken by
the Republican party, who did tbe work in their
legislatures and elsew here. Their hands are soiled
with the Wood of tbe compact—they cannot be
permitted to administer at its altars. I know iiqi
ihat it was even necessary to prove this point of
the case. I doubt much w better I lie members ol
thiit party will deny the fact that it D their fixed
policy never to carry out, in good faith, this part
of the bargain. I doubt if there be five, out of all
the Members of the Republican party on this lioo/ ,
whb will stand up here to-day, and say they an
tvilhng, either by State or Federal legislation, ot
iti any other manner, to uphold and comply with
tid? provision of the Constitution. I do not be
lieve there are enough to meet God’s final reqttsi
lion to save Sodom. No, sir; they mock at con
stitutional obligations, jeer at oaths. They have
lost their shame with their virtue, and no longer
feel humiliated at the commission of these great
ot idles. J leave this point, w ith a demand for the*
compact. In the name of the people whom I rep
resent, I demand the bond. 111 the name of every
true and honest man in the North, as well as the
South, I demand the redemption oi your plighted
faith.
1 come, now, to the second point. These Black
Republicans say they are opposed to the extension
of slavery, and they seem to wish it mostly on ac
count of their reverence for the “lathers of the
Republic. I shall not at this time argue fully the
territorial questions. I have ulteady done so once
in each branch of Congress, and iny aigumeuts are
on toe record. I seek now only to expose tire ac
tion of the Republican party iu relation to them,
fhese Hartford Convention Federalists hypocriti
cally pretended great reveieace for Washingtor,
.Jefferson, and Madison They stoned the prophets
when they were alive, and claim salvation through
them when dead. This happened before. It is
true, that many of the leading men iu the Revolu
tion from the South were opposed to slavery. I
think one of the objections which Luther Martin,
a delegate to the constitutional convention from
Mankind, urged against the adoption of the Fed
eiai Constitution, was, that it tolerated the slave
trade, and, perhaps, ihat it did not give the power
to Congress to abolish slavery. But that is evi
dence of Constitution really was, a pro
slavery fundamental law. Washington, Jefferson,
and .Madison, all expressed opinions against slavery,
but none of them ever pretended that the the Con
stitution, in anv way whatever, or in anv decree
w iiatever, provided either lor restraining, limiting,
or abolishing it. All three of them lived and died
slaveholders. It is true, that Washington eman
cipated his slaves by his will, to take effect after
the death of his w ile. That is no uncommon event
iu tho .south ; indeed it became so common that
rny own State, and the Southern States generally
were compelled to restrain or prohibit this right.’
Such is the relation between master and slave,
that it is a common feeling with slaveholders not
to permit their slaves to belong even to collaterals
ol their own families. Even when a slaveholder
like Washington has no direct descendant, the
law, in conformity to public policy, forbids or con
trols this strong tendency to emancipate. For for
ty years, Georgia has had to interpose by law lo
cheek this feeling, and prevent the Commonwealth
being overrun by a free negro population. These
fraudulent pretenders to the principles of these
patriots have seized upon the personal opinions of
these patriots, and attempt to ingraft them on the
policy ol the Republic, in direct violation of the
Constitution. Washington, having no direct de
scend.nits, emancipated his slaves ; left them that
“heritage of woe and the result has been, near
ly the whole ol them are extinct, aud the survivors
are a curse to themselves and the commnnities
among which they are east. Jefferson died a
slaveholder, and left his slaves to his heirs and
creditors. Madison died a slaveholder, and left
his slaves to his widow and other persons. Wasli
ington, by no word or act of his liie countenanced
the dogma that the Constitution of the United
States gave the least authority to the Federal Gov
ernment to limit, or restrain, or abolish slavery.
John Adams, in 17‘j8, extended the ordinance of
1787 over all the territory ow ned by the Uuited
States by virtue ol the war of independence, ex
pressly excluding the anti-slavery clause of that
ordinance. Does New England repudiate her own
lathers f ii she dues, let her not slander mine.
Jefferson acquired n slave territory larger than
all the rest ol the l nion put together, lie bought
this slave territory, protected it, nurtured it, ex
tended slavery over it, by protecting all slavehold
ers iu any of the then existing States in emigrating
to aud settling in it. Under his policy Louisiana
came into the Union ; Missouri was inlined for ad
iiii.-i.~ion; and when she was prepared for it Mr.
Jefferson had retired to Monticelio. But the voice
of northern Federalism reached his retreat; and
he sternly rebuked the evil spirit which he had
quelled during his administration, but which again
dared to raise its treasonable crest.
Jefferson was alive when the-eighth section of
the act ol 1820 was before the American Congress.
Me spoke for himself. In the face of your constant
declarations—cold, calculating, wilful’misrepresen
tations ot him hear him speak loi himself. 1
thunder it in tour ears. 1 would to Godtnv voice
could reach those whom you deceive and betray.
In his letter to Jolui Holmes, of Maine, dated
2lUh April, 1 820, Mr. Jefferson strongly condemn
ed both the geographical line aud the attempt to
prevmit “the diffusion of slavery over a greater
surface and adds :
“An abstinence, too, from this act of power
would remove the jealously excited by the under
taking ol Congress to regulate the condition of
the different descriptions ot men composing a State.
This certainly is liie exclusive right of every State
which nothing iu the Constitution has taken from
them and given to the General Government.—
Gould Congress, tor example, say that the non
freemen of Connecticut should be freemen, and
that they shall not emigrate into anv other State ?”
1 his was his argument iu lavor ot extension.—
lie then goes on to denounce the restrictionists of
his day as political suicides, and traitors “against
the hopes ot the world.” Such were the opmions
entertained by the author of the ordinance of
1789, of the Missouri restriction of 1820.
Again, Mr. Jefferson, in a letter to Mr. Madison,
says:
“l am indebted to you for your two letters of
february 7 aud 19. Ibis Missouri question by a
geographical line of division, is the most porten
tous one I li tve ever contemplated.” * *
* [Generally understood to be Ru
fus king] “is ready to risk the Union for any
chance of restoring his parly to power, and wrig
gling himself to the bead of it; nor is” * *
* * “without iiis hopes, nor scrupu
lous as to the means of fullilling them.”
Mr. Madison also, in a letter to Mr. Monroe, iu
18‘2o, says:
“Gn one side it naturally occurs, that the right,
being given from necessity of the case, and in sus
pension ot the great principle of selfgovern
ment, ought not to be extended further, nor con
tinued longer, than the occasion might fairly re-
quire. ‘
Mr. Madison says further: ‘
“The questions to he decided seem to be—
“l. Whether a territorial restriction be an as
sumption ot illegitimate power; or
A misuse of legitimate power; and, if the
latter only, whether the injury threatened to the ‘
nation irotn an acquiescence in the misuse, or
Irom a trust ration of it, he the greater.
“On the first point, there is certainty room for
difference of opinion ; though, for myself, I must
own that 1 have always leaned to the belief that
the Textvictioh was nut within the true icope of the
Conxl'tuUoH.”
These are Je fferson’s and Madison’s denuncia
tion of congressional prohibition—the identical
question; and these men have the audacity to
stand belore the civilized worid, even iu the as
semblies of their countrymen, where at least theie
ought to be some intelligence, and say their prin
ciples are iu conformity with the policy of the ear
ly lathers. The audacity ot mendacity cau be car
ried no further.
1 have already shown you the practices of Jef
ferson. Mr. Madison’s were in perfect harmony
with those ot bin friend Jeltcrsou. Perhaps no
man ot the lie volution knew as well the whole
scope, intent, and meaning of the Comunution, as
Mr. Madison, lie is often called its father. Yet
this basutd tribe of Abolitionists, with unmistaka
ble natural murks of their own paternity, dare to
call him one of their luthersi Air. Madison bore
express testimony to the direct fact that this prin
ciple oI the pa: tv is against the Constitution of the
couutiy. Sire, if yon wilt continue your’mad ca
reer,* it you are determined to ruin your country, I
would even invoke you to spare the honest memo
ries of the illustrious dead. You cau no longer
deceive any man by your slanders upon these pa
triots; flit* falsity of your accusation against them
is known to allot you; have at least reverence
enough to cea*e to utter it. If you respect the
fatheis of the Uepubiic, imitate their example and
policy. These fathers required, in tbe treaty which
(acknowledged their iudepeodenee, that England
Siwiuld not carry off” slaves *r other property.^ —
Unite with us to make England break up her den
of thieves hi Canada ; that would be imitating the
example of the fathers. The fathers even ot New
England voted to conlicue the slave trade twenty
rears. They got something or nothing lor it; if
•mmething, pay it; if nothing, stand for their hon
or. We did not bring them in with the idea that
you would either steal them or confiscate them.—
Was that your understanding of the bargain 1 —
The fathers Said they would suppress insurrections.
We do not tliiak the events at Harper’s Ferry are
in sfru-t conformity with that understanding.
Bur, sir, for every abolition enormity the Black
Republicans have a stereotyped plea, either in
mirigatiou or in bar. Tney say, upon the happen
ing ot every new outrage, every time they violate
the compact, every time anew underground rail
road company is started, every time any new out
rage is perpetrated upon us, or anew raid con
ceived or accomplished, that all this comes of the
repeal of the Missouri restriction ; that was the •
f’ahdora’s box which opened afresh this slavery
agitation. Well, grant it ; what was that act of
atrocity which is pleaded in release of all consti
tutional obligations, in excuse fort-reason, murder,
and arson ? It was this: the Congress of the Uui
ted States, by the concurrence ofuhe legislative
and executive departments of the Government, re
pealed th*) eighth section of the act of 1820, which
prohibited slavery in all territories of the United
Stales acquired from France, lying north of 5G 30
north latitude, and-outside of Missouri, commonly
called the Missouri restriction. This pretended
law, which we repealed, has been decided by the
Supreme Court of the L T nited States to have beeu
nil , void, and no la w. We said that it was not
uw : the Supreme Court said it was not law, but a
usurpation of power by Congress. This was not
oily our judgment, but the highest judicial tribu
nal of our couutry. They decided that it was un
constitutional to put it on the statute book, and
therefore unconstitutional to keep it there ; then,
because we would not let an unconstitutional act
stain any page on the statue-book, we h'ave the
curses of the Republican party and their base allies.
“The head and front of our offending hath this ex
tent, no more.” This is our unpardonable sin.
If our fidelity to the Constitution which we had
sworn to support is the charge against us, we plead
guilty to it
1 am not surprised that the support of the Con
stitution should be adjudged a crime by this coali
tion. With such a brand upon them, thev ask us
to submit to their rule if they have a majority.
They are kind enough to ask us, “let us be broth
els, or we will cut your throats—that is, if we can
get your negroes to do it.” ‘J hey place great re
liance on this arm of the Black Republican phalanx.
When they get ready for this brotherly work, in
the name'und behalf of tuy constituents ! extend to
them a cordial invitation to come down to see us.
But it is due to candor to say that their reputation
needs some building up among ray constituents.—
We do not think those men the most dangerous
who are the most faithless to their compacts; and, in
very truth, we have but small fear of men, even as
leaders of the untold millions, who have not man
hood enough to maintain and defend their own
honors. We are charged with raising iu our de
mands upon the Government, of asserting new and
unheard-of doctrines iu relation to our rights iu the
Territories. The charge is equally baseless with
all the rest that have been made by our adversa
ries. I stand to-day on the territorial question,
w here 1 stood in 185 b. I ask my colleague to read
the extracts which I have marked from a speech
delivered by me in the House ol Representatives on
the 27th February, 1850.
Mr. IVERSON read, as follows:
“ Though hostile interference is the point of re
sistance, non-interference is not the measure of our
rights. We are entitled to non-interference from
alien and foreign Governments. England owes us
thatjinuch ; France owes us that much ; Russia owes
tiff non-intervention. You owe us more. You owe
us protection. Withhold it, and you make us
aliaus in our own Government. Our hostility to it
then, becomes a necessity—a necessity justified by
our honor, our interest, and our common safety.”
—Appendix to Congressional Globe, Jirst session
Thirty-First Congress, page 201.
“We only ask that our common Government shall
protect us both equally until the Territories shall
be ready to be admitted as States into the Union,
then to leave Ihe citizens free to adopt any domes
tic policy in reference to this subject wliich in their
judgement may best promote their interest and
their happiness. The demand is just. Grant it,
and you place your prosperity and ours upon ;t
solid foundation ; you perpetuate the Union, so
necessary to your prosperity ; you solve the true
problem of republican government; you vindicate
the power of constitutional guarantees to protect
political rights against the will ol majorities.”
Mr. TOOMBS. Ten years’ experience has not
altered or modified these opinions. 1 stand to-day
where I did then. 1 have no advance, no retreat
to make from ibis ground. It was, iu tny judgment,
right then ; it is right to-day and forever ; it x
equality and justice planted in the compact
Union. Upon these terms, 1 have ever been wi
ing to let tiie Union stand, but upon no other. —
The Federal Government is now discharging its
duty on this territorial question ; if upon subordi
nate questions we shouid disagree, 1 agreed, and
now agree, to let the judicial tribunals decide be
tween me and my friends. 1 agreed, in the act of
1854, to abide that decision ; I shall continue faith
tul to that obligation to the end. If the Republican
party had power in the Government, how’ could
they carry out their own principles in the Territo
ries ? The Supreme Court have already decided
that congressional prohibition of slavery in the
Territories is unconstitutional, and therefore null
and void. Therefore, if they were again to pass
such an unconstitutional law, they must do it
against this decision. They can only succeed in
their policy by subverting that tribunal. Hence
I have established in v second proposition, that this
party not only seeks power to violate one of tbe
fundamental principles of the Constitution, but in
aider to deprive the slaveholding States of their
just and equal rights iu the Territories, to reach
their base ends by subverting the judiciary of our
country. It is the only road to their avowed ends.
They stand, then, convicted of the second specifi
cation against them.
My third charge against this Rlack Republican
organization is, that great numbers of persons be
longing to it, both in office and out of office, are
daily perpetrating offences against their confeder
ate States, which even among independent nations
afford just and sufficient cause for public war. It
is clear that the peace of the country cannot long
be maintained under such a state of things. The
people of no independent State have the right to
attempt, by word or deed, to injure or destroy the
Government or people of any other country, nor
in any manner whatever to disturb their tranquili
ty, or weaken their security. These of themselves
are good and sufficient causes of war among na
tions ; but these people have gone further. They
daily attempt, by w ords and deeds, by counsel and
pecuniary means, by the shelter and protection
which they give, by law and without law, to the
active participants in their schemes, to excite ser
vile and civil war in the slave-holding States, and
to subvert their institutions, to devastate the land,
by fire and sword. It is not necessary to read
authority to sustain my position even as to the
least, criminal of these acts. The laws of nations,
as well as the Divine law-, write these piiticipies
indelibly upon the hearts and consciences of ail
good men. All the eminent publicists of the world
maintain them. Black Republican Governors of
the northern States annually denounce our institu
tions, and advise measures to subvert them.
Biaek Republican Legislatures are not ouly daily
pouring out iheir denunciations, too, against us,
hut are constantly- contriving Iraudulelit and vio
lent legislative enactments to defeat us of our
rights, a-nd protect those of their own citizens who
are- engaged in stealing our property. Their Sena
tors and Representatives even in the national
councils are daily libelling and insulting their con
federates, claiming immunity for such acts uhdt-r
the Gonstitvrtiou which they have broken. Many
of their speeches are calculated at and intended to
excite servile war. Besides this, at least oue Sena
tor aud sixty-eight Representatives of one House
of the national Legislature have recommended a.
publication that advises the overthrow of our Gov
ernment by loree. One of these criminals is bow
suppoiied for the office o 4 Speaker oi*the House of”
Representatives by the whole Republican party of
that body, and their support of him approved by
all of the same party iu this House. I say criminals;
not one of these men can pass over lie Potomac
river and carry out his own recornn.. ndaliou with
out tinding himself at least in the lit ale in ison ;
and they would fare even worse under the laws of
Georgia. The pulpit, the press, and the lecture
room, join in this crusade against the people of the
South, and counsel the adoption of ail means to
harass, endanger, and destroy ns. These are

tMitlw aeeo arid known of all ineu. I* thin peace f
If it ia, I prefer war.
j by whom are these things done? Who is re
sponsible tor them ? The Republicans say we are
uot rMpanmblr, as a party, tor them. Many of
them are done Or the party itself. For these of
I their crimes against society and the laws which
hind civilized States together, which are com mi;
by individual members of that party, or even by
considerable numbers of them, I admit it requires
| further evidence to hold them respon.-ible. iad
i ,kJ 't that even a Stale is not bound necessarily for

.the citizen was perhaps only*the insit;uiiit>nt.”
1 apply the same principle* to the Republican
party. Do they not support their Governors and
j Legislature, their preachers, their leetureis, ami
j their press, through which instrumentalities all
these things are done ? Are not the sixty-eight
j members in the House of Representatives among
them and of them? Do they not support John
j Sherman as Speaker of the House? If these
things are true, then the Republican party are re-
| sponsible for all these wrongs and crimes against
jus. Takeaway those who commit these crimes
from them, and there is nothing left of the party.
Who is responsible for the treason, murder, and
;arson of John Brown? I have never known his
acts approved, defended, or palliated by any other
, person than a Republican. Thousand? of them
have done it, and are now doing it. In marshalling
; this dark catalogue of crimes against this organi
jzation, I would uot be unjust to it. 1 have no
i doubt that thousand* of persona belonging to their
organization throughout the North loathe and des
pise this John brown raid as much as the Senator
jfrom Maine [Mr. Fessenden] does slavery; but it
is equally true, that there are other thousands in
the same organization who do approve it. They
tell us they condemn his acts, but admire his hero
ism. I think the Republican party must be pres* and
for a hero. Newgate calendar can furnish them
with any number of such saints. To “die game”
and not “to peach” are sometimes useful if not
heroic virtues in an accomplice. The thousands of
Black Republicans who do openly approve the
! treason, murder, and arson of John Brown, get no
condemnation from their party for such acts. They
.are its maiu defenders uud propagandists all over
| the North, and therefore the party is in moral
complicity with the criminal himself! No society
can long exist in peace under these injuries ; hence,
| we are in virtual civil war; hence I denounce their
authors, the Republican patty, as enemies of the
Constitution and enemies of my country.
It is in vain, iu face of these injuries, to talk of
peaee, fraternity, and a common country. Theie
is no peace ; there is no fraternity ; there is no
common country. I and you, and all of us know
it. My country is not common to the men who
counsel the overthrow of her system by social and
servile war, and all of its attendant horrors, and l
trust never will be. Sixty-eight members of Con
gress and one Senator, at least, have endorsed
these sentiments as contained in the Ilci. ei book.
One of their number is now a caudida-.- lui tae
third office under our (jovermmmt; ad ido not
know of a Republican in rn United Sut. e, ISI con
gress or out of it, wno does not support him. Do
could not travel in a single aiavciioiiitng-Mate, trooi
this to Mexico, with whose laws I am acquainted,
in whieh he would not subject himself te punish
ment as a felon if he dared to carry out hu own
recommendations. With all these facts, 1 submit
it to the judgment of the Senate, the country, and
the civilized world, if, according to the public law
of all civilized nations, we hut t- not just cause of
war against our confederates ? I further submit
that our duty and our security retj lire u? to accept
it speedily, unless we can get redress through tho
operation of tlie Government, or of the States of
whose citizens we complain. To them we make
this linal appeal. Give us the compact ; give us
peace. Disturb no longer our domestic tiauquil
litv.
To make this appeal effectual, jt is our duty at
the South, first, to crush out the party divisions
which exist among ourselves ; to unite with all men
who feel the wrongs ot their country, and who arc
willing to unite for their redress; who have no
affiliation or sympathy with Black Republicanism
in auy of its forms, and are ready to drive them
from the national councils. Let the enemies of
this organization extend to* each other cordially
the right hand of fellowship, and, lor pure anil
honest purposes, bring their past party differences
and sacrifice them at the altar of patriotism.—
Thus, having secured our own union and harmony,
let us appeal to the Iriends of the Constitution iu
the non-siavehoiding States to imitate our example.
Let us appeal to those of that class who are among,
hut not of, the public eueinies themselves. I.et us
invoke tii*-ui to joiu the army of the Constitution,
Let us call upon the American organization of the
North, as well as the South, to enlist under its
banners. Let us invoke, in a spirit of kindness
and fraternity, those Democrats of the North who,
from discontent upon a collateral issue, have with
drawn from the faithful column, and whose posi
tion gives aid and comfort to the common enemy,
to return to their colois. I have no word ot invo
cation to those who stand to-day iu the ranks of
the Northern Democracy, but to remember and
emulate their past history. From the beginning of
this sectional controversy, they have stood firmly
by the Constitution, in sunshine and storm. No
body of men, in the world’s history, ever exhibited
higher or nobler devotion to principle under such
adverse circumstances.
The enemies of the Constitution, seeing that they
were its last bulwark in the non-slaveholdiug
States, have brought against them every engine of
destruction which their ntadei ed malice could in
vent. Their loyalty to the Constitution is daily
charged to them as treason to their own firesides.
Amid the opprobrious epithets, the jibes, and jeers
of the enemies of tbe Constitution; worse than
this : amid words of distrust and reproach even
from men of the South, these great-hearted patri
ots have marched steadily on in the path of duty.
Arnid treachery and desertion at home, and injus
tice from without, amid disaster and defeat, they
have risen superior to fortune, and stand to-day,
with their banners ail tattered and soiied in the
honorable service of the whole country, ready to
renew the conflict and to snatch victory from the
jaws of defeat. No matter what fortune may be
tide us in the future ; while life lasts I have a hand
that will succor and a heart ready to embrace the
humblest soldier ol this uobie band. The union of
all of these elements may yet secure to our country
peace and safety. But if this cannoi be doi e,
;**ac and safety aie iucouq j role in u is Union ;
but there is safety and a glorious tut ure !ur the
South. She knows that liberty, in its his; analyst*!
is but the blood of the brave. She is able >o pay
the price and win tbe blessings. Is she ready ?
We occupy eight hundred and fi:ty tl ousrtnd
square miles of territory, stretching irotn Mason
and Dixon's line to the Mexican hontier —the fair
est, the most fertile, and tbe loveliest liurd that God
ever gave to man ; with noble rivets, bearing on
their bosoms to live ocean the rarest cud richest
products of the earth, witn capacious and commo
dious harbors, inviting the commerce ol Ihc world
to take them to distant lands; with nobis- moun
tains, containing the richest and most -useful ores
and minerals of the earth ; with valleys and plains
senile and salubrious, inviting and “rewarding tho
hand of industry ; with forests unequalled in the
beauty and value of their products; with more
than twelve million inhabitants, prosperous and
attached and loyal to their social system-; aloyality
so devoted, that ueitlicikthe tftason-nc: seditious
teachings to which 1 have rci- cd, nor be ate force,
have Ueen able since the Revolution to seduce one
hundred men, of any class or condition of her soci
ety, from their aiieguuee to their homes and social
.-vVttpn. Our {>eople, after maintaining themselves
pi all tlic necessaries ol life at home, already export
over twoMftudred million dollars’ worth cf their
produce to ati tbe great marts of the world. This
country, capable of supporting a population large
than ail Europe, is stronger in arms, for her defence
than all the tive great powers ot Europe put to
gether.
Sir our whole country had but three million ci
pornlatioh, including slaves, when she met old
. England in the struggle of the Revolution. We
, have four times that population, and one hundred
> Times the wealth, of all the colonies combined.—
