SPEECH OF THE HON. WILLIAM BIGLER,
IN THE SENATE DEC. IL,
On the State of the Union,

took the floor, Mr.. President, yesterday
afternoon for the purpose o. making a few
remarks on the present nhappy condition
of the country. | intended then only to say
what was necessary 10 indicate my own
position on the great question which is agl-
tating the people of this country. That is
my only purpose this morning. | shall
reserve for some subsequent occasion, when
perhaps this whole subject will be more
fully before US, the discussion of the main,
question which it unnecessarily presents.
Sir, il was too truly remarked by the Sen.
ator from Mississippi (Mr. Davis) yester-
day, that we have fallen on evil times. 1t
is too sadly apparent that this great repub-
lie of ours is in imminent danger of dissolu-
ton. The whole political, Social and com
mercial system is seriously disturbed, and
shows unmistakable eviderces of depres-
sion and distress. Commerce, trade. aud
finances, are disturbed. The banks have
ceased to redeem their notes in specie, and
the Treasury of the United States is unable
TO meet the current demands upon it. In
deed, sir, general gloom seems TO have
spread over The entire country. Why is all
this Have the great elements of pros
perity, progress, and general thrift in the
country, become suddenly exhausted? No,
sir; these were never more abundant than
now What is it, then? Why, sir, dis
guise it as you may, this sad picture is the
result of political panic. ] almost shrink
from enuncialiHg the precise cause, oby;-
Gus as think it is 10 every Senator, and 10
every intelligent man in the land. The
startling cause is, that men are beginning
10 doubt the integrity and future existence
of this Union. State after State has taken
steps Oh The subject of Withdrawing from
this Confederacy. We hear OF Legislatures
being assembled, conventions of the peo
pie being ordered, all TO consider the grave
question whether our relations are 10 con-
tinue or not. 1t is not singular then, that
we have seen manifestations of deep con-
cern and distress in The land.
Sir, this is startling picture but it
seems TO me it is the part of patriot
ism and duty to look ii fully in the face
My own impressions first were, that the
less that was said here the better. have
changed that impression. | believe that
the times require that the public men, the
! selected men Of the nation here. shopld
