tpth Georgia once said, "wher
traitors become numerous enough
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS respectable" -
Traitors are getting to be 80 rumer
Gus now that | suppose treason has
almost got to be respectable; but
God being willing, whether traitoro
be many or few, as have hitherto
wsged war against traitors and
tieason, and in behalf OF the gov.
ernmcnt which was constructed by
our fathers, | intend to continue it tu
the end. [Applause in the gel

The President pro tempore -
Order!
Mr.. johnson, Of Tcnneesec-Mr.
President: We nre in the midst Of
q civil war; blood has been shed; +;
lie has been sacrificed. Who com
ncnced il! or that we will speak
hereafter. l am speaking now OF
the talk about compromise. Trait
ora and rebels are standing with
arms in thoir hands, and it 10 said
that We must go forward and COM
promise with them. They are in
Tie wrong; they are making war
upon the government; they are
irving to uptnrn and destroy ouv
free institutions. | -ay to them that
the compromise ! have - maxi
under tie existing circumstances is
ground your arms; obey the laws;
acknowledge the supremacy OF the
CGastj'uti"u: wh"a you do that
wiltta.k 90 you about cpmpromiscs. D."
Al The compromise that have Ia
make IS tn. compromise Of the Goa
,'ituiol of the Unite States.
It is one cfth' best COMPROMISES
that c,u b. made. We lived under
it from 1850 down to the 2Oth o.
December, 1860, when South Caro
lima undertook 10 90 out of the
Union. We prospcrcd; we ad
vanced in wealth, in commerce in
agriculture, in trade, in inauufac.
tnras, in nll the arts and sciences
and in religion, more than any peo.
PIE upon the face OF Gods earth had
ever done before in the same time
What better compromise 90 yor
want. fou lived under it until yor
got to be n great aud prosporou,
people. Ic WAS made by our fathers
and cencnted by their blood. Wher
you talk to me about compromise
hold up to you the Constitution an
der which you derived all YOU
greatness, and which was made by
the fathers Of your country. 1t viii
protect you in all your rights.
! NO G 'CD RESULT FROM A TREATY.
But it is said that we had bette
divide the country and make treat,
aud restore peace. If, under tn
Constitution which was framed b,
Washington and Madison end tn
patriots OF the revolution, we canno
live as brothers, as we have ia time
gone by, ask can We live quictI
under treaty, SCI ,arated as enemies
The same canses will exist; our geo
graphical and physical position vii
i remain just the same. Suppose 80
, make a treaty OF peace and division
il the same causes of irritation, if til
same causes OF division continue I
, exist, and we cannot live as brother
in fratcrnity under the Constitute
, made by our fathers, aud as friend
in the sainsc government, how ca
wo live in peace as aliens and enc
mics under a treaty? 1t cannot b
: done; it is impracticable.
THE DEsIGNs OF THE REBELS.
y The Senator (Mr. Breckinridg(
! from Kentucky was wonderful
!. alarmed at tho idea OF a "dictator
$ and replied with as much point Q
e possible to the Senator from Orego
. who made tho suggestion. Bnt, 81
S what do we find in the Richmon
k Examiner, which is published at ii
seat OF government OF the 80 calle
confederate states?
y sin the late debates of the Coz
3 gress ofthis confederacy, Mr.. Wrigh
d OF Georgia, showed true appreci'
q ton of the crisis when he advocate
