I'm this connection let me read the following para

tie whole idea is to establish republic based upon
Slavery exclusively in which the great macs oi tue
people not to participate. we hnd an arguuIent
made here against the admission OF nonslavehoiding
States into their Confederacy. II they refuse to admit
no-s eholdng State into the Confedeiscy, for the
very same reason they will exclude an individual who
s not a stakeholder in slavehOldnR State, from par
cipaina in the exercise of the powers OF the Govern
ment Taking the whole argument through, and that
il the plain meaning meaning Of it, Mr. 5pratt says
thai sooner later 1t will be done and If the present
revolution will not accomplish IL, II must be brought
about even II another revolution has TO take place.
We see therefore that il is noet clearly contemplated
to change the character and nature VI the Government
80 far Ms they concerned They have ioet conn.,
dence in the integrity in the capaOilty IN the virtue
aud ntelligence of the great mass OF tne peolle 10

believe that fr emen are capable OF fefgoferhnent'
We care not in what shape their property e1L,s;
wbe, er it is in the shape of ayes or otherwise We
hold that 1t is upon the Intelligent free white people OF
the country that all Governments should rest, ard by
! them all Governments should be controlled
think therefore, Sir, that the President and the
Senator from Kentucky have stated the question
srplt 1hir is a struggle between two forms OF gov
ernment II is struggle for the existence OF the Cow
ernmeut we have. The issue If now fairly made up.
All " no favor free government must stand Win the
Conetituion and in favor OF the Union OF the States
ash is That UuIun being once restored the Contsu-
ton again becoming supreme and Iaramount when
peare law and order shall be restored, when the Gov
rhal be restored 10 it's pristine position, then,
if necessary we come forward under proper aud
favorable circumstances 10 amend change, alter, and
modify the Constitution, as pointed out by the NTH
article of the instrument, aud thereby lerpetuhto the
Government. This can be done, and this should be
done.
We have heard a great dsnl said in reference to
the violation of the Constitution. The Senator
from Kentucky seems exceedingly sensitive about
valuations Of the Constitution. Sir, II seems 10
me- admitting that bis apprehentions are well
founded that violation of the Constitution for
tie preservation Of the Government is more toepbe
tpan one Tor its destruction In all these complaints,
In all the,e arragnments Of the present Government
for violation of law and disregard of the Constitution,
have YOU heard, for,bly aud eloquenly siidby
the Senator from Illinois Mr.. Brownin.l before me,
one word uttered against viOlaI1ns OF the Constitu.
ton and the tamplmg under foot OF law by TIE States,
or the PARTY low making war upon the Government
of the United States Not one word, Sir.
TIE Senator euunertes what be calls violations OF
the Consiitutionthe suspension Of the wit Of habeas
corpus the proclamiug OF martial law, the increase OF
the Amy and Navy, aud the existing war; and then
he a,ks, :" Why ali this T. The answer must be aP-
parent to all.
