MIR. Burnett asked that the bill be put on
its passage, and said: Il am, perhaps, one Of
the few members who think not only the COM
mencement, but the prosecution of the present
war, might have been, or may now be avoided,
by proper efforts on the part of the National
Administration. Entertaining this opinion, |
am one of those indisposed TO resort to force
under any circumstances, believing, under the
theory OF our Government, that the Union
can never be held together in that way.
Hence it is my purpose, representing Con-
gressional District of Kentucky, to oppose,
both by my voice aud vote, every movement
that looks to the prosecution of the war against
the Seeded States. These being my views
and sentiments | cannot and will not, under
any circumstance, give my vote for measures
which look to the involvement of our common
country in a bloody struggle, the results of
which to both sections, will be the destruction
of their national and best interests, and the
prost ration OF republican government on this
continent"

protest, in the name of Kentucky and her
Union representatives on this floor, against
the remarks made by my colleague, SIR. Bur
nett, and TO say that Kentucky, by a large
aud overwhelming majority, will support and
maintain the Government and Constitution OF
the United States" [Appause -on the floor
and in the galleries, Which the Speaker
promptly rebuked Mr.. Mallory resumed,
saying "What have said is the feeling OF
Kentucky in this unfortunate state of afflirs
We in Kentucky believe that the peril, the
danger, the destruction of the union of so
many material interests have been brought
about by these very seeding States of the
South, which seem to excite the sympathy of
of my colleague.
This being my opinion, and that of Ken,
lucky, am authorized, l think, 10 say to this
House and the country. that the people ol
Kentucky, through her Union Representatives
on this floor, stand ready to suppart the Gov
ernment Of the United States by every Con
stitutional means to which it may be thought
| proper to resort for the maintainlnce Of the
Government and Constitution" Applause. !
