But 1 shall recur to this point again. .j'. How comes it that the President has forgotten to remind us, also, that when: the party thus commit ted to the; principle of deadly hate and hostility to the slave institu tiona.'lofi the - South, and the men who had proclaimed the doctrine of tho irrepressible conflict, and who, in the dilemma or alternative of this conflict, were resolved "that the Cfotton and Kicc fieldsotf South Carolina; uiii tho Sugar plantations of Louisiana should ultimately be tilled by free labor, had obtained power and place in the common govern merit of the States, the South excefiL one Slate, cuose ni"b to do- inand solemn constitutional guar antces fort protection! against the abuso of j'tho , tremendous power and patronage and influence of the Federal Government, for the pur pose of securing the great end of the sectional conflict, before resor ting to secession or revolution at all? Did' ho not-know how could ho be ignorant, that at the last scs-' sion of Congress, 'every substantive proposition for adjustment and compromise, except that offered by tho gentleman' from Illinois, Mr. ; Kellogg, and we all know now that was receivejd, came from the South? Stop a moment and let us see. i Tlie cojmmitte of thirty-throe was moved for in this House by a gentleman from Virginia, the , sec ond day j of the session,, and receive ed the vote of every Sauthern Rep resentative present, except only the members from Sorth Carolina, who declined to voto. In the Sen ate, the committee of thirteen was movod for by a Senator from Ken tukcy, Mr. Powell, and received tno saent acquicsence ot everv Southern I Senator present. The Crittenden propositions, too, were moved also by another Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Crittenden, now a member of this House a manvericrable for his years, loved; for his virtues, distinguished for his services, honored for his patri otism, tor lour-and-forty years a Senator,; Or in other public office: devoted I from the first hour of his manhood! 'to the Union of these States, and who, though he himself proved his courage fifty years ago, upon the, battle held against the foreign, enemies of his country, is now, thank God, still for compro mise at home to-day. Fortunate in a long and well spent life of pub lic services and private worth, ho is unfortunate only that he has sur vived a Union, and, I fear,,a Con stitution younger than himself. Ihe Border State; propositions also wore projected by a gentleman from Maryland, not now a member outhis Huso, and presented by a gentleman from Tennessee, fllr. EtheridgeJ now the Clerk of this House. tAnd yet all these propo sitions comingthus from the aouth, ?ere severally and repeatedly re jected br .the almost united vote of the Republican partyin the jenate and tlie ' Honse. The Ciittenden prppositicjns, vitK whtch Mr. PaVis, now j President of the Confederate States, and Mr Toombs, his Secre tary i of Stateboth declared in the Senate that they would, he satisfied, for which; every Southern Senator and Representative voted, never, on any one occasion, received one solitary vote fn'm the -Republican party, in either House. The Adams or Corwin amend ment, so called, reported from the Committee of Thirty-three, and the only substantive amendment pro posed from the Republican side, was but a bare promise that Con gress would never be auihorized to do what no sane man ever believed Congress would undertake to' do abolish slavery in the States where it exists; and yet even this proposi tiotfmoderaitoa it was, affd for which every Southern member present voted, exept one, was car ried through this House by but oijie majority, after long and tedious dje lay, and with the utmost difficulty sixty-five Republican members, with the resolute and determined gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. HickmanJ at their head, having voted against it and fought against it to the very last. And not this only, but as a part of tne history of the last session, let me remind you that bills were introduced into this House propos ing to abolish and close up certain Southern ports of entry jto author ize the President to blockade the Southern coast ; and to call out the militia and accept fie services of volunteers, not for three months merely, but without any limit as to either numbers or time, for the very purpose of enforcing the laws, col lecting the revenue, and protecting the public property; and were pressed vehemently and earnestly in this House, prior to thi arrival of the President in this City, and were then, though seven States had se ceded and set up a government ot their own, voted down, postponed, thrust aside; or in some other way disposed of, sometimes by large majorities in, this House, till at last Congress adjourned without any aotion at al,. Peace then seemed to be the policy of all parties. Thus, sir, the case stood at twelve o'clock on 4th of March last, when, from the -Eastern portico of thjs Capitol,, and in "the" presence of twenty tnousanaoiuis country raon, but enveloped in a crowd of sol diery which no other American President ever saw, Abraham Lin coln took the oath of office to sup port the Constitution, and deliver ed his lr.aujrural a message, I re- gret to saj, hot written in the di rect and straightforward language which becomes an American Presi dent and ari American statesman, and which was expected from the plain, blunt, honest man of the North west ibut with the forked tongue and crooked counsel of the New York politician, leaving thir- j ty million people in doubt whether it meant peace or war. But what- ! ever may have been the secret pur pope and meaning of the inaugural practically for six weeks the polic of peace prevailed; and they were weeks of happiness to the patriot, and prosperity to the country. Business revived, trade returned, commerce flourished. Never was there-a fairer prospect before any people. Secession in the past lan guished and was spiritless and harmless ; secession in the future was arrested and perished. By overwhelming majorities, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ten nessee and Missouri all declared for the-old Union, and every heart beat high with hope that in due course of time', and through faith and patience and peace, and by ul timate and adequate compromise, every State would be restored to it. Sir, I do not propose to inquire now whether the President and his Cabinet were sincere and in earnest and meant really to persevere to the end in the policy of peace ; or whether from the first they meant civil war, and only waited to gain time till they wero fairly seated in power, and had disposed, too, of that prodigious horde of spoilsmen and office seekers, which came down at first like an avalanche up on them. But I do know that the people believed them sincere, and cordially justified and approved of the policy ot peace ; and as they subsequently responded to the pol icy of war, in whirlwind of pass--ion and madness, but calmly and soberly, and as the result of their deliberate and solemn judgment; and bclieviog that civil war was absolute and eternal disunion, while i recession wa,s but partial and tem porary, they cordially endorsed al 60 the proposed evacuation of Sum ter and other forts and public prop erty within the seceded Slates. Nor, sir, will I stop now to explore the several causes which cither led to a change in the apparent pol icy or an early development of the original and real p?irr"sAf; fhe Administration, j But there . arc two which J cannot pass by. And the first of these was partv necess ity, or tho clamors of politicians, and especially of certain wicked, wrecklcssand unprincipledconduc tors of a partizan press. The peace policy was crushing out the Repub lican party Under that policy, oir, it was iBfciung awaj liKe snow oeiore inestn. New York and the Western States gave abundant evidence; that the people were resolved upon the most ample and satisfactory constitution al guaranties to the South as the price of a restoration of the Union And then it was, sir, that tho long and agonizing howl of defcated-and disappointed politicians came up before the Administration. The newspaper pres teemed with appeals I and threats to the President. The mails groaned under the weight of J lettv'rs demanding a change of pol icy : while a secret conclave of the Governors of Massachusetts, Now York, Ohio, and other States, as sembled here, promised men and money to support the President in the irrepressible conflict which they now invoked. And thus it was, sir, that the necessities of a party in the pangs of dissolution, ii the very hour and article of death, de manding vigorous measures, which could result in. nothing but civil war, renewed secession, and abso lute and eternal disunion, were pre ferred and hearkened to before the. peace and harmony and prosperity of the whole country. But there was another and yet stronger impelling cause without which this horrid calamity of civil war might have been, postponed, and, perhaps, finally adverted. One of the last and worst acts of a Congress, which, born in bitterness and nurtured in convulsion," literal ly did, those things which it ought not to have donejwas thepassage. of an '"obscure" Hl-considTcred, ill-digested, and unstatesmanliko high protective tariff act, commonly known as "the Morrill tariff." Just about the same time, too, tho Co n fed e ra te Co n irress a t Mo n tgo m - cry adopted our old tariff of 1857, which we. had just rejected to make way for the Morrijl act, fixing their rate of duties at five, fifteen and twenty per cent lower than ours. The result was asinevila' le as tho laws. of. trade are inexorable. Trade and commerce and especial ly the trade and commerce of the West began to look to the South. Turned out of their natural course years ago, by the canals and-railroads of Pennsylvania and New' York, and diverted Eastward at a heavy loss to the West, they threat- ened now to resume their ancient and accustomed channels the wa ter courses '-the Ohio and the Mis sissippi.' And political association and Union, it was well known, must soon follow the direction of interest and trade. The city of New York, the grea' commercial emporium of the Union and tho Northwest, tho chief gran ary of the Union, began, to clamor now loudly for a repeal of the per nicious and ruinous tariff. Threat ened thus with the loss of both po litical power and wealth, or tho re peal of the tariff, and at last of both,. New England and Pennsylvania, too, the land of JPenn, cradled in peace demanded now coercion and civil war, with all its horrors, as the price of preserving either from destruction.
