VS THE CLOSE OV THE FIRST CONGRESS
In the House 6f FerT5cntetl7C3, just before
the closing scenes cf that boJ". Mr. Curry, of
Alabama eubtaiU' tu0 following resolt'cu,
WlJb Tas unanimour'7 adopted :
7?r5o't That the thanks of the House of Re
' rnUt re are hereby tendered to the H.
ThoS Bocock for the distinguished ability
an,l un ifonn courtly and impartiality with whiek
h" ha "presided over its seesivms during the present
Congress- t ,
The PrcAKsu (Mr. Eocock), having been in
formed of the adoption of the resolution, re
dressed the House as follows:
0ntle7in cf the Home of Rcprescntalivet:
.Before performing my last official act as
y'neaker cf this House, you will indulge ine in
i!iVuHa few. parting observations. Our labors
are closed, our record is made up, and as it
stand, so it must go down to the remotest gen
eration?. This is a solemn reflection. The
time of action is always n, time of feeling, of.
impulse, and often of prejudice. The future is
ever concealed from the view by a thick veil,
which jio human hand can uplift, and no mortal
eye can ptuetrate. The pa&t alone is fixed and
certain.
And now, as we stand and look back over
the history of the last two years, the mists aK
ready begin to dsodvc, the clouds to lift them
selves up, and our.p Uhway to grow clear and
distinct in the calm light of reason and reflec
tion. We gee now, more clearly than ever be
fore," the dread responsibility which has rested
upon u, and how deeply our action has involved
the safety of our c'ouutry and the best interests
of mankind. As wc stand and contemplate,
how' little appear the momentary ebullitions of
passion, which may bavo 'caused us to walk
unsteadily in the path of duty, and how criminal
if at any time an unholy selfishness has caused
any of u to depart therefrom. If, however,
notwithstanding our best anfl truest efforts,
w.j liavo in anything fallen short of what
the occasion seemed to require, it ia our privi
lege) to plead in cur defence tint infirmity of
burn an nature from which no mortal m m is
uxemt. And, as I ho Speaker of the House
of Commons is aosuvom.ui, at the beginning
of his term, to stand before the Sovereign of
the land, and claim .the ancient rights and
privilege of the body over which he presides,
go I notv, standing here at the end of my term,
claim, in your name, against all mankind, that
civility of judgment, and kindness of criti
cism, which all havo so much reason to de
sire. In order correctly to appreciate the
actnn of this House, and of thj Congress,
it is proper to bear in mind the circumstan
ce by which' we havn becji surrounded', and
Vuedifiiculties we have had to encounter.
W'e have been calif d to legislate f.r an in
fant nation, struggling with some of the
embarrassment. i, within, that usually 'attend
a new political organization, and assailed,
from without, by war and such a war ! so
vast in its dimensions, so unexampled in its
ferocity, so altogether unchristian ar.d un
holy in its spirit and so exacting in its de
mand. And why waged because- we have
assailed another . people? Hy no means;
but pimply because we hav presumed to
assert that inalienable right, so dear to our
patriot, fuhcrs of '76, and so necessary to our
own safety the right to govern ourselves.
To meet the requirement! of such a war, has
indeed, been uo e-sy task to give the meii
and the money and yet we have no shrunk
from the performance of this duty. When,
in the spring of 1S02, the failure of the State
Legislatures to furnish us widi a sufficient
number of troops, raised by State authority,
rendered it essential that prompt and strong
measure should by taken by us, we boldiy
resorted to the measuruof conscription; then
new in this Country ; and thus we saved alike
our army and our cause. And, since that
time, as the exigencies of the service have
required it, we. have enlarged the copo of
that U)v, and lessened the number exempted
from it operation, till, at last, by a recent
enactment, it is believed that we have ma le
it as efficient as present circumstances will
allow. It might have appeared to some de
sirable that every able bodied man should he
put in the field, lint to do so would be to crip
ple and prostrate those industiial atid pr xluct
ing interests on which the support of the
army depend.. Ou the other hand, it was
necessary, so far as practicable, to awc'.l our
army ; else those producing interests themsel
ves might be all overrun and destroyed. In
order to arm, equip, feed and p iy our soldiers,
it has ben necessary that we should have
control of very large supplies of money or
credit. The money could not be had, berau-e
it was not attainable in the country, and the
stringency of the blockade cut ou that foreign
trade through which it tnight have been
brought in. To push our credits to extreme
limits, without oppressive taxation accom
panying it, would be to destroy that credit
itself. Hence, the di Acuities in which pur
.finances have Icjunu m velvet!. Shallow
thinkers have said that these financial diftbul-
ties were easy enough to remove if- Congress
would only act. They seemed to think that,
by some smart parliamentary manoeuvre,
some cunuing trick of legislation, our dsbts
could be paid olT, and money brought into cr
coffers. It is only those who have explored
1 the subject thoroughly, that have been able to
know the full r xtmt of those difficulties. This
Congress has given to this subject a long,
patient, laborious and earnest investiga
tion. What the effect of these measures
recently adopted will be, I nerd not detain
you to predict. Time must determine this.
Hut I will say that they are strong and
thorough in their character, and afford proof
to tho people that th se whom they have en
trusted with representative duties in this Con
gress, have not wanted the nerve to adoptj iny
measures, however strong, if in their judgment
the emergency required it. It should be re
membered, however, in this connection, that
legislation is often, and especially on difficult
suhjecs, but "a compromise of conflicting views,
not only among the different members of the
atne body, but also between the two bodies
that make up the Congress. When we cannot
get what we think is best, we may be" forced
to take the best we can get. Let it be further
remembered that the legislation on the subjects
to which I have alluded, have not been shaped
for individual benefit, but for the good of tho
country. If some have been sent to the field,
it was because it was thought they could there
best observe the country's interest. If others

supposed to be the field on which they could

more heavily, while the hand of taxation has
borne more lightly on otbw,ii has been so
devised because sucl, a system was thought to
be, on tne wiiole, the btst for the couitfr
good, There can be no general plan th -x
taut operate unequally in individuJ4 cases
That it docs iu is, therefore r0 "conclusive
argument against it. If 'rt?,y shall a made
feel discomfort and hardship, let me tell them
that, in a war h this, discomfort and hard
ship most b to t greater or less degree, the
lot of all, lie who. expects now to repose in
tase And comfort is as unreasonable as the
f-ailor who, while the ptorm is raging areund,
and his good ship struggling with the dashing
billows, asks to be allowed to go down and
take a comfortable and quiet snooze in his
berth below. To complain of having to give
up a part of a man's property, if necessary
for the good of the cause," is of all things tho
mo3t unreasonable. It is givci up to save
the remainder.' If wc achieve our indepen
dence, we must have men and money. With
out both we are undone ; aod what then will
we save ? We will not save our soldiers from
the dangers and privations of tho battle-field.
For if triumphant over us, in the insolence of
their pride, tho Government at Washington
w'.U speedily seek to avenge some fancied
wrong against Englandor France, or both.
And, a? well to rid themselves of a population
they fear, as to carry out their purposes of
revenge, they will put our brave boys in the
front of their batiJe. And then, these on the
plains of Mexico or Canada, will suffer, in the
service of a hated master, greater privations
and haUhips than they now feel fighting at
their owh doors, in defence of their homes,
their families and their firesides. Will we
save our property? By imperial edict it has
already been declared that our labor is no
hnger our property, and acts of confiscation
stand on the statute bok ready, whenever the
power is given, to clutch our lands and other
property.
l5oubt.it wh6 will, subjugation brings des
titution. Tho doctrine is. that lebels havo hO
rights, and when did Yankee cupidity ever
consent to relinquish what Yankee power could
hold? The unprinciploJ mercenaries of theit
army have an app -tite for plunder that the
wolf o the desert might behold with envy.
What nave they done with the country they
have overrun ? Think of our desolated fields,
our smouldering hou?es, the wives and children
of worthy citizens, rooming houseless and
homeless through tht land, seeking shelter and
begging subsistence. Think, too, of our no
ble boys whosa bones are bleaching on a
thousand battle-fields, or who are now suffering
a living death in Northern dungeons. Think
of all these things and think of yuur money.
In view of these dread realities, let all sedi
ditious. complainings be forever hushed in tho
land, nor let any man he deluded with the
idea that, by unmanly submission, peace may
be obtained and these evils avoided. He who
ha? watched with care the progress of this
war, will have observed, that in proportion a
the chances of success against the South, by
whatever means, have increased, in that same
proportion the strength and violence of the
abolition and fanatical party have. also in
creased. Let'trvm get control over us to
morrow and that party will have acquired a
lease of power that will last for a generation.
Bi such an event, there might be a few who
would wish to see us restored to our farmer
status and tho old Union re-established ; but
their voices Would be lost in the wild whirl
wind and tempest of fanatical tdumph and
fury. Men want peace do we not nil want
poace? ".Peace! how gladly would wc lril
its advent! How anxiously elo we watch for
its coming ! Aye, we wait for it as one who
waiteth lor the morning. Our foncy strains
to catch the rustling sound of its white wings,
as it descends and hovers over us, like a mes
senger frem on High. Wo lift ourselves up
to meet the soft and sweet accents of its sal
utation as soft and sweet as the whisperings
of an angel's voice I We listen with eager
cars for the faintest echo of its feathery foot
falls on our door-ways, as it seeks to re-enter
its accustomed haunts. While the imagina
tion labors and agonizes with the thought a
bright scenes opens up around us. The roar
of tho cannon is hushed; the clai.gor of arms
is beard no more ; bonfires blaze on every
hill-cop, and the notes of congratulation and
rejoicing vibrate on every breeze. The son is
restored to bis mother; the brother to hi3 fond
sister, and the bridegroom to his long lost
bride. The family circle is reunited, and beams
from lve lighted eyes shed a hallowed bright
ness through evry household. The scene
charms and melts the heart; but a bloody hand
is suddenly stretched forth to mar its beauty.
It vanishes away, and leaves in its stead the
dread i ealities of war. Honorable peace we all
desire ; but our enemy will not allow us this.
There is another sortol -peace, that submis-
sion would give it's. It is the peace that
waits on the foot-steps of the conqueror the
peace that was proclaimed in that famous
announcement, "Peace reigns in Wursaic."
It is a peace whose mildest attribute is cheer
less, endless, hopeless slavery. Better any
thing than this. Aye, there is yet another
sort of peace which is greatly to b? preferred
to it the peace of the charnel-house; the
silence of grave. Pity is sometimes ex
pressed for those who are marked out in
case of the success of our enemies, to be
tried and executed for treason. In that
event, their fate, in my opinion, is not tho
most to be depleted. Far better the gallows,
the stake, anything, rather than slavery to
a nation whose chief and representative men
are Butler, Sickles, Sumner, and the like.
What brave and manly heart is there that
would not, from the height of the gibbet,
look down with pity and contempt upon those
mean and abject wretches who have turued
from the cause of their own injured South,
because it appeared weak, and, .by mean
compliance and sycophantic servility, hare
sought to commend themselves to the tyrant
who wishes -to enslare us? Washington in
chains would have looked with contempt
upon Arnold iu purple. Think of Stonewall
Jackson in his bloody shroud, and then think
of Andrew Johnson in his pride of powr
But why spetk of subjugation now ? What
is there in our present condition to make
$uch an event in the least degree probable ?
We havo resisted the utmost power of the
enemy, now for three yaars, and are as uusub
dud as ever 1 Contrast our present condition
with what it was two years ago,wben this Con
gress opened, .andwuatis there to discourage
us? The sad reverse at Spring Mill or Fish
ing Creek was them fresh in our minds; the
Roanoke disaster had just occurred ; Forts

enmities at Nashville and New Orleaua
,.ere already sending forward the fatal omena
that heralded their approach ; and the ar
my of Northern Virginia, a tdiort time before
bouyant with hope and resplendent with
success, now weak and wasted, were actually
preparing to fall back upon Richmond.
Who does not remember that dark and dis
mal 22d of February on which the President
was inaugurated with its thick clouds over
bead, its rain dripping ceaselessly down, and
the earnest, anxious countenances of the as
sembled multitude! - Gloom rested on every-
thing, but more especially on the minds of
the pcopliC Sine then we "have lest much
territory and several strong points of de
fence; but'coDsider what we have gained
We have learned, in a great degree, to live
within ourselves, and within ourselves to
maintain and support our armies. We have
learned to bear privation and suffering for the
sake of our cause. The hearts nf our people
have become practised in the vicissitude of
war, pleased with success, but steady under
misfortiinea. High courage was always a
characteristic -'of our people. We arc now
fast acquiring fortitude also. These, united,
Constitute the highest type of military charac
ter. Look to the change iu the condition of
oar soldiers. Then, they we e nioMly undisci
plined recruits, disappointed -in the duration
of the war, impatierit of restraint, and -anx-ius
to return to their home. Now, they are
mostly we'l trained veterans inured to the
service, practiced in arms, and having confi
dence both ia thtinsilves arid their, leaders.
Then, some were actually laying down their
arms and quitting the field in the face of the
foe ; now, there is a fierce emulation among
them who shall be foremost in re-enlisting for
the war Speak to them now of approaching
conflict, .and the wild shout that rings'along
their ranks and ascends to Heaven, gives to
ken of the desperate valor with which in the
approaching campaign they will rush upon
tho mercenaries who oppose them. W ith
. such a cause to defend, such soldiers to de
fend it, and a just God ruling over all, sub
jugation can never come while the hearis of
our people are true. Never! never! If, in
a vain eff.itto save their property, or in a
mad spirit ot revenge for nv asiires which they
do not understand, or do not relish, pur peo
fchooiel iclax their efforts and bow their necks,
of course the yoke would be placed upon
them. But if they are resolved to struggle
o;i through all the shifting phases of fortune,
to tear all and suffer all for tho cause: to
give money, bloed, life, everything that. may
be necessary, our ultimate triumph is, in my
judgment, as sure as the coming of to-morrow's
sun. But why doubt the people? Our
cause has thus far been borne up on their loy
al and steadfast hearts, as tca Jfist anei loyal
as any similar convulsion ever before elisplay
ed Why should' they now hesitate? Our
foes have not displayed new qualities of mag
.nanimity and jjreat-heartedness, calculated to
reconcilers to their rule ; rur honor is not
less dear to us: our torn affections and ruined
hopes plead not iu behalf of ur spoilers.
No! The people are "resolved 1 They are
self-devoted ! They will make all needful
sacrifices. The finis of Independence are bur
ning brightly in their bosoms.
Civil commotions of this kind usually .give
birth to prodigies of military and civil great
ness; but if there have been fewer instances
of great individual superiority iu this instance
than in others, it is perhaps, because the quali
ties of true greatness are now m re universally
diffused throughout tho mass of the people.
Wc have? not now a hero here and a hero there;
every village and every hamlet, and almot
every hcmeste.d, now has its hero. Qualities
of hcrcoism have found their way into the
bosom of the softer sex, and men dare not, if
they would, ba otherwise than brave and true.
Go forth, then, fellow-members, and by
word ai d deed stimulate their zeal, nerve their
resolution, give tho n confidence in their rulers
as well as in their cause, and fan the fire3 of
independence, till, in their broad, bright light,
every city and village aud hamlet every
palaie arid cottage and hovel shall glow and
gleam and reddcu like a very furnace of
patriotic ardor. .
Victory sits far off ou her mountain throne.
Between us and her there may be defiles to be
passed, ravines to be crossed, crumbling ledges
to be surmounted, that may break beneath
our feet. But if, notwithstanding all, we
will move on with steady step and determined
purpose, all these difficulties will be overcome,
and soen, aye, pooner than wc.think, we shall
feize her on her high Feat, bring her home to
ourselves, and enthrone her over our fortunes
for long years to come.
Ntow, one word as to ourselves. I thank
you, earnestly arid cordially, for the kindness
with which you have uniformlr sustained me,
in the discharge of the responsible and difficult
duties wih which I have been c'urgcd more
responsible and diilieult than many people
imagine. '
I thank you, especially, for the kind testi
mony which you last evening bore, unani
mously, to the faithfulness of my efforts, and
I only regret that those efforts have not been
"sustained by a greater measure of ability on
my part. And now, standing here, in this
presence, with my hand upon my heart, and
my lace uplifted to Heaven, I protest, that in
the performance of my duties a Speaker of
this House, I have been actuated by no par
tiality, prejudices Oi ill-will, but have sought,
so to do justice to all, as best to subserve the
public good. - And every member of this
House will carry with him, when he leaves
. this Hall, my best wishes for his individual
happiness and prospeity; and my earnest
pra3'cr will ascenel to the fountain and source
of all mescy that all of us who are yet spared,
may live tosceeiur contest successfully ter
minated, our liberties established, our coun
try in peace and prosperity, and our own
names remembered a those who, in its day
of sore trial, did the State soma service.
It only remains forme to pronounce, as I
now do, that this Ilouse stands adjourned
