Speech of Samuel F- Phillips, Esq., Oil OKAMlK, Jit the Hurt?0, of Commons of North Carolina. Tuesday Dnu-mbr.r CM, 1SC4, on th? sulytct of I'ttpi ' easmtnls. Mr Speaker: Il.ccnt occurrences in lu county of Orange ,;we suggested to tne the pn-prie y of inrro cuvinjj the resolutions whh-.h , avo jit been real. I do not lniiu to .say thai Orange h . sulksred more frooi the action .of agenrs lor impre.-tri-nU than trie other month's of t!.V Suite, hut t!iH ftcriiri; of tint action among my f onstii ue.ntfi rendered it proper that ho!d call the attention of the L-gis-l.ituru to it. The preamble to those re.soloil.ms asse ts truths which' i.o inttHieut g-'tnloinuo uu tid.s fi Mir, whe'ihf r lav.v r or not, wilt d.ui . I 11 not trouble the Iluise with an aruu inect upon them. The first of the rtisolnlioi.i; which follow, tnnk.es allegations whhdi, if true, are palpable violations of the rights as-.-cited in the preamble. The only ii nation which urines upon that lesolnti-.n is as to its. tiuth. Aali, upon this question. 1 nughi perhaps make a witness ot every entictnan up n this flo' r. For I can hardly d n !t hat. evrry one h re has bten so f.tr person. o ly ('- niz-mt of facts oinjj to estahislt ihis p unt that he ndnht b-. called as a wiuie&j to estah liol. it biit'orc a court and j'iry. Within the lust two weeks an njrent of the Ccut'ederatr States has inipr -ssed in the county of Orange 100 horses a.td muled at no average price, as I was informed hy an offio-r of tli government engagt-d in the ti jtn'tcU'jii, of ahout $7U0 each. 1 enquired .of the s ail0 g-ii tleman what was th avtragf! inurkit va-uu f the animals thus t;ken, a:id Wi.s untwtrti "at Jeast 2,100 ouch." It appears, ttifi, th a by thiB 6ugle operation, the C-iit deiare Stntes' government ins forcibly seized for us wn u-c more than 300,000 w-rth of pmpnty; nr.d It ft in the hand- i f its owners little i-cmps -f I r nrn napr, pruruidifift to p iy t some iudftij nitf 'peril d about $100,000 ! In sonple lan guage, it id a transaction hy w dch thai govern ment, has posjsed itself of $200 000 w nth of property without paying n single dollar of t qui. valent! It has has;-ny its Hgtut-, ae.iing uu dr a regularly orguniz.'d system, reM"ccrtHiu ptrsow whom thcte ;geuts have .-eh cj 1 w t i lu toe eou-.lry veff rret to, of 2l0,t00. Tee coau'y which 1 h-y ih'e honor, in pnrt, to re Tre!f ut in this llou.sc, makes t( a Mvnatoiial district, and contains ab Hit one-JifUeth of ihe :op?rty in the State.

I mean to say tnat in "tie name and oteier the machinery of the Contrdeiate govern i:.i it. thty have overawed oertaincilizeiis of ; ith t'andiiia into dt-li verii-g tla g vern tntnt property worth 1-3,000.000 at a nominal price o $0,000,000. This aenou c-mes fully tip to my c ncpption of the idea contained in the wold rubbery. If the Hction which Iihs recently taken place in Orange county were the cons- quence ot the presumption of a subordinate Hgerit of the gov ernrutnt, it were m tre easily to'ciaud than now. Or if it arose from the -occasionally irre gular working of tne machinery of that gov ernment it might he better bornv. Tnat it is part of tin setibd policy of the Co tedi rate titans, ai.d the regular and inter dfi ffect of certain HCts ot C i gr ss i t'l at L c!i givt a ibis action its p-culiar unple isantntss, and makes it the moie imperative IV r this Lejiihtuie to 'utter its retnonHrai.ee nrd pr.)te?t. When wrong is done under the color of law, it ue coms most dnngeruus. I hhl in'tny hand a pamphlet containing thu " (Itncr:;! Orders to the army, from whi iu appears t hat. this snf-j 'Ct of imprt ss ncnts has cccupitd the attention of the gov ernment lor several years. As early as the nxnth of June, 1802, ati oroer w.ts issued regiilaiitg thi sahjt-ei. Some nnntii8 after-wards-it appears by another that great cum-, plaints had bicu mane to the govei mr.ent in 'relation to it. Th complaiuts com polled Ctigriss, about the ninth of April, 18d3 t- h-h an act upon the suj-ct, a real prt id v. Uich is still in fotce. That act provides that while t llkers in. pres propt-rty ihatis io the hands ot its pn diu tr, t rtttrtcs (with lib city to select an umpire) bhall be chosen by the iffieer and the owner respectively, and they shall fettle the price to be paid ; wiiere the property is not in the hands ot the proi-iieei, but of a in in who holds it tor salf, the price u be paid by the government sr.ail Ve leyiu'.ated bj .e echrdulo p ites fixed by tin- IVn-.mih.ng A i,md i0r making the schedule. This differruce between the pn. :ucer and the other classes was rnaintaui-i-d, howevrr, ft r hut a lew days, as another ct, pu.sed htioie the. 1st of May, 1803, pro viced in that all c..ss id in prt ssrut ot the im Iestirjr officer might end' rse upon the award of ike reltiees his disapproval, h rtivcii a;i aj-peal v.ould l.e to the tou.ii.issi. ut rs upon .Khtdulc pricis. As these per, ns had alrendy appraised property ot the H..it in dn-pnte, it i clar that the practical operation ot ttiesi- law in either ftse is to give lh oner onjy hched iile prices. For iu&tance, .in the case oi a h-Mse, the owner nay olwayf be eare that if he choose to make ever so much opposition it will resnlt in his getting only the pnee of one or another of the cUp-ps under the schedule. A paper now in hand, being a warning to a gen tleman in,Orar.gf that the government agent wdshrcl to buy a horse, mikes this erid"nt. for the proposal made by him is txpresahj to buy it at xdudule prices, the penalty being an impressment. Of course such au' officer would ticv. r approve an award by referees giving a p.t eater price. He would appeal until he brought it where it wa certain that iion but schedule prices would be given. 8o well, irnlee f, is tHs ur.derstoofl, that, es I was informed, the ref-recs at Hiilsboro' confined themsplves to assigning the horses to one or another of th" clashes in the last schedule. And,as miyht well hive been araticipited, in the wIjo e serrib!y of irritated and outraged ciiizns no one ti.k on appeal In' discussing this matter I am not to l3 cheated with words. I press through them into the substance of thi transaction ; and I gather the intention of government froru the uuiform action of its agents through a period of years, and after its attention has confused ly ataiti and again been called to the subject. What wns done in my own county iu Novem- er, 1864, has been done (aud often in a much more galling manner) in other counties and other States, in the Spring and Fall of 1802 in the Spring aud Fail of 1863, and in the Spring and Fall of 1864 ; an that which has been cited in regard to horses, has been done time aud agiin in regard to vvln-at, corn, cattle and inuuy other articles of prop erty. I am not then to be abused by having pointed to my attention that the act. of Con-rcs-M provides in terms for a "jus,t componsa. tiou." I reply that the act, after using these smooth words, inaugurates a system of pro ceedings which never has j;iv-n the ciiiz-ju tiiat compensation of which it Speaks. r, of puri-o.e keeps the word of promise io the ear, and breaks it to the hope. Throughout the whole State, and so fr as I am intormrd ti ruitghuut the whole country , its opeia'ton has tiei'n uniform. It cannot be that such Hi ifonnity of action among many different pusoi.s woo hate no opportunity for co stil ta ion, has tui been dictated by the common soi.iice of their appointment. I mean the government. Mr. Meoiinuiger aid Mr. Tinhoiui, wim have tried uu wild experi ment after another upon the curreucy, make Use of i lu-se commissioners of schedule prices in the ci nrj-e of these experiments ; and the in ft ructions under which they act are to de-pa;- prices to a stauJard in accordance with .-orne Highly notion these gentlemen enter tain as to toe vaU.c o' Confederate 'I nasinv note. They are making their experiments at tru expense ot thosy crsons whose propei ty ihey impies-. Up n what slow of pro priety is this u ne? if the currency have de preciated bee -use it is too abuodant, experi mei ts to raise its v.li;c hhouhl be tried at the gcne-Ml expense of the whole country. The method by which those experiments are to be 'nasJe is taxation. No constitutional principle can he more axiomatic than this. fluo con fti'.uuoi; piohibtts all such trifling with pri vate rihis umlev ihe htad ot impresMrtnts, by stipulating on behalt of the citizens for a 'just comp. nsaiicn. ' Wiiat an outrage, then, upon that constitution, is it, lor th C: -federate Government Ij suggest to its com missioners us part of their duty in tixug im pressment prices, to cvnsuii oi'her lnilueucts than tne geuer-1 market value ol an ailiciu !

I am not understood "as denying to the government the rgbt to .seize private property whenever needed fur i;s use. It has a peruct right to do so. The p.-int upon wnich I have r.sisual is that it tuHc pay just compensation there .or. ii mus:-pay tor such property, all that a private pi sou would have to py for it. The government has only one auvantago in .-uv.h maiter ovtr the citizen who viai.s to huy.

After the defeat of his fleet at Salmis, X rxes did not abandon the h po of success by land, and determined, if possible, to sub jtiijHte or exterminate the small number of Conied.ra e Greeks who had'dared to resist his immense power. Accordingly, he left his ablest G ner.ri, Mardonius, in Greece at the head of 800,000 of his best t.-oops. The wnoio ot ureece, north ot the isthmus of Cor-. lutb, except Attica, and one or two others of, the smallest States, had m7tz?( that is join ed th? Persians, aud heartily co-operated with M.irdoniu.$ Before commencing the campaign, Mardo niu sent an envoy t Athens, with the most s.idnciive (, ffers to the Athenians from the Great K ng himself, if they , would consent to make peaca and form a ieaguo with him. They were to retain their own territory, and to choose for themselves whatever land they liked besides, and dwell therein. as a free peo ple all their templts which had been bnrrjed were to be rebuilt, and ctherdamage repaired. "Aud now, said Mardonius, ' why are ye so mad as to levy war against the king whom ye cannot possibly overcome, or even resist forever ? Ye haeseen the multitude aud the bravery of the Los s of Xerxes ; je know also how large a power remaijis with me in your land ; suppose then ye should get tlie better of u.s, and defeat this army a thing whereof ye will not, it ye be wise, en tertain the least hope what follows even then but a contest with a still greater force Rattier agree to make peace, which je can do without any tarnish to ycur honor, since the King invites you to it. 0 "Continue 1 ee, and. make au alliance with us without fraud or deceit ' Tne bear- r of this message was Alexander, King of Mace don, the guest atnl frit nd of the Athenians, lie auvioeJ tht ui, as a sincere friend, to ac- c-pt lerms so .avoiable and honorable, 'inhere were many reasons to induce the Athenians to acc-de to these terms. Tuey had just return ed to their half-ruined city. They had lost the harvests of the two years, and their wives and children were suffering with hunger. The ftpanans and other Peloponesians, with t oei r wonted selti.-hness, weie fortifying the 'isthmus and their territory would be again hud waste But with that heroism and love of freedoni which had rendered them immor tal, they said to Alexander, We know as. well as thou dost that the power of the Mede is many .times greater than our own; we did not need to have that est into our teeth. Nevertheless, we c iug so to freedom that we st-ail resist him in the besi mauler we cau. So k not to ptiuide us into making terms with the Birbariau say what thou wilt, thou . wiit eever gain our assent. - Tell Mardonius that so ion.; s ths suu kteps , its present course we will never join aliiaucu with X rxes. Nay, we will oppose him un eeasiagl, ti u?tiuf, in the aid of those gods and heroes waoai he has. lightly esteemed, and whose images he has burned with fire. Aud tome not thou again to us with words liko these. Thou art the guest and friend of our nation we would not that thou shoult'.st receive hurt at our hands.' f Tne Spartans tearing that the Athenians might be tempted to acept terms which, tv iierodotin- say., "were far more to their adva.;ta.e than to prolong tnv war," oai soot atubiosadors io dissuade them sucn a course. Tuey provdscd so send.. n army to their aid and to supp'-rt the women and children as loni us tne war iastsed. Their answer to tho Spai tans was worthy of themSvdvs : " No all itie gold that the wo do earth contains not the riuest ;m.i nust tertiie of the faro's Would bribe us to take pari with tho MedtJS, and ii' lp tiiem to enslave our countrymen. Even could we auy how have brought our selves to seen a 'thing there are. many very powerful motives which woiiid make it impo-sible. The first and chief of these is the buioiu, and destruction of our temples, a'id ti e images ot our gods, which forcirs us to rnaUL no terms wish their destroyer but rather to pursue nim uitu rr s-htuenl to the uitcr mosi. Again, there is one commoa brother hood with tne Greeks ; our common language, the altars and the s icritices ot whict: we all part.ke. the coirimon character which wo bear. Did tho Athenians bet jry all tnese, of a troth it Would not be well. Know, then if you have not known it before, mat while one Athenian remains alive, we will never j an alliance win, Xerxs.; Whw-n Maid n;Ub received the answer of the Atheuiaus, h- prepared, with all his Grecian allies, to invade Attica again. The Spartans sent not the premised aid, and tne Athenians wire once; more couinelied to put their iawilies on bjard slop an i cany tnem to the little island cf S daiuis. Ma. uouijjs again establish ed nis hea quarters a; Aituns, but stib aDxious Vj coucnialc the Attit mans be seut a becoad env.-y to tfalauiis with the same proposition, but they wi-re unanimously rcjcttd. Ouly one Senator, LycnUs, give it as his opiuiou Mhat the best couise would be to admit the proposals. nd lay them bifwie the Asstrribly of the people.''f He was iustautly sujrouuded by the Smattirs a-id people and stoned to death. Now there ras a stir in the island about L'tcidas", and the Athenian women learnt what had happened. Tneu each exhorted her fellow and one br-.ught another to tale part in the deed ; ind thry all flecked of their own accord totuehous of Lycdas and styued to death fc-.s wie aud his caddieu." Every sonool-boy knows the result. Tno nexi year MardouiiiB was defeated at Pltcc, and Greece remained free. This bold stand for nlertyou itie part of the Athenians Mas the ju.-t a.mdiatiou of their descendants and a constant theme of applause by their orators. Shall it remain for our descendants and car orators in future limes to point to a similar Ci urse ou tne purl ot these Confederate States? Surely, we have more to tight for than the .
