AIr BREcRISRIDGE-I shall detain the Senate, Sir,
but a few moments in answer T. ole or two otserva
tions that fen from the Senator from California
Mr.. BAKER-OrcgoD.
Nj. BREcMyRnGE-The Senator seems TO have
charge OF the whole IGcliC coast, lGOuAu 20 mo-
mean 10 intimate that the Senators from Can1rgli ara
not entirely able and willing 70 take care OF their own
State. 1hey The Senator rom oregon, theh
Ar. President have tried Oh more than cue occasion
in the Senate in parliamentary and restecuIl iil-
guuge to express ny opinions II regard 70 he aEde-
ter al our Federal system, the rciiDns o. I'd: o"'
70 the Federal Government, 10 tie Con6u'u'loh, me
tOad Of lie Federal political system lh.y dllr-
utterly from those entertained by the senator IRON
Oregon. Evidently, by lii line Of argument, he re-
CARDS this az an Orlin;l, not delega cd Government,
and he regards it ol)thed with all thore powers
which belong to an original nation, no. ohiy Win
those pOwets which are delegated by Tue dil1iehI
political communities that cymI Orc H. aud limited "

do not think the Senator from Oregon has answered
my argument. He Afks, what must we 90 As We
progress southwark, and invade Tie country, mult we
not said he, carry with liz all tie laws o. war;
would not progress southwark ana lhvasetne country
Tie Prcsideu. Of The United States, a. again repeat,
ia my Judgment, only has the power TO eau on tne
military to assist The civil anihout, IN executing me
liws; and when the question as laes the .mi5i'uuI

nearly half tie members OF the COME icrhy withdraw
themselves from IL, what then l have never Itll
that one State or a number OF STATES nave H-At
without cause TO break the compact 81 tlo C0nNuu-

Hence the Senator aud start from entirely different

The senator asked II a senator Of Rome h-d ui"iei
thee things la tie war between Ca.th,,o aud that
Power, how would lie have been treated Sir, TIE
war between Carthage and Rome was altogether
different from the war now wIged between VIC
United States aud the Confederate Staies. l
would have faid-ra'her than ayow the principle
that one or the other must be subjugl'sd, or per-
hans both dettr0yct-let Cartilage live and l"t
Rome i've, each pgriing its own clrse Of policy aud
civilization. The Senator says that tlcso opinions

pr,ssei but brilliant tearOn; and that II J. tIb-
ute character OF our inti ulionsut nm allowed
