SPEECH OBJ MIR. SEWARD,
OF NEW YORK,
Delivered IN Z. S. Senate, Jan. y, 1861
Concluded

CCouciudcd)
NATIONAL GREATNESS INSEPARABLE
FROM NATIONAL UNION.
Mr.. President, have designcdly
dwet so long on the probable effects OF
disunion upon the safety Of the Ameri-
can people, as to leave me little time to
consider the other evils which must fol-
low in its train; but practically the loss
of safety involves every other form of
public calamity. When the guardian
angel has taken fight, everything is
lost. Dissolution would not only arrest
but extinguish the greatness of our
country. Even separate cOniedcracies
could not exist, and endure; they could
severally preserve no share Of the com
mon prestige of the Union. If the
constellation is to be broken up, the
stars, whether scattered widely apart or
grouped in smaller clusters, will thence
forth shed forth feeble glimmerings and
lurid lights Nor will great achieve
ments be possible for the new conied-
eraces. Dissolution would signalize its
triumph by acts Of wantonness which
would shock and astound the world. 1t
would provincalize Mount Vernon, and
give the Capitol over to dissolution at
the very moment when the dome is ris-
ing over our heads that was to be crown
ed with the statue Of Liberty.
DIsUNIoN THE DESTRUCTION OF WEAK
REPUBLICS.
After this there would remain for dis.
union no act Of stupendous infumy to
be committed No petty confcderacy
that should follow the United States
can prolong or even renew the majestic
drama Of national progress.
A NATIONS TuRENODY.
Perhaps it is to be arrested because
its sublimity is incapable Of continuance
Let it be so, if we have indeed become
degenerate. After Washington, and the
inAexible Adams, Henry, and the peer
less Hamilton, Jefferson, and the majes-
tic Clay, Webster and the eacute Calhoun,
Jackson, the modest Taylor, and Scott
who rises in greatness under the burden
of years, and Franklin, and. Fulton, and
Whitney, and Morse, have all perform
ed their parts, let the curtain ialll-
While listening to these debates l have
sometimes forgotten myself in marking
their contrastod effects upon the page
who oustomarily stands on tho dais be-
fore me, and the venerable Secretary
who sits behind him. The youth eZ-
hibits intense, but pleased emotion in
the excitement, while at every irrever-
ent word the aged mans eyes are suffus-
ed with tears. Let him weep no more
Rather rejoice, for yours has been LOT
Of rare felicity. You have seen and
been a part Of all that greatness ofyouT
country, the towering national greatness
Of all the world. Weep only you, and

A few years ago Mr.. Boyoe, now one
of the secession leaders, aud lately
member Of Cougress-wbere he distin-
guishod himself by his ability and good
sense-ridiculod the idA Of secession
as extreme nonsense. In an address to
the people of South Carolina he said:
"South Carolina cannot become q ma
ton. God makes nations-not man.
You cannot extemporize a nation out Of
South Carolina. 1t is simply impossi
bic: we have not the resources. We
could exist by tolerance; and what that
tolerance would be- when we consider
the present hostile spirit Of the age to
the institution Of slavery, all may read.
ilv imagine. I trust we may never
have to look upon the painful and hu-
initiating spectacle From the weak
ness Of our national government feel
ing Of insecurity would arise, and capi-
tai would take the alarm and leave as.
But it may be said, let capital gol To
this I reply, that capital is the life
blood Of a modern community, and, in
losing it, you lose the vitality Of the
state
Secession, separate nationality, with
all its burdens, is no remedy. It is no
redress for the past; it is no security for
the future. 1t is only a magnificent
sacrifice Of the present, without in any.
wise gaining in the future. Such is the
intensity Of my conviction on the sub.
icct, that it secession should take
place of which [ have no idea, for
cannot believe in such sTUPENDOUs
MADNEss-I shall consider the instiiu
ton Of slaycry as doomcd and that the
great God, in our blindness, has mad,

Since Mr.. Boyco wrote this, secession
has taken place, and we should like tt
know if he has changed his opinion.

name Of the United States in tones loud enough
to arouse the neighbors; that no answer was re-
turned; and after the panel was broken in and a
pistol fred they Were ordered to shoot, which
they did. He argued that from the circumstances
he had enumerated and the facts that they re-
treated from the door and afterwards Sergeant
Murphy sent for reinforcements II il evident the
prisoners believed the house was fortified and
contained an armed force.
He contended that under the first instruction of
the Court the jury, to convict, must believe that
the prisoners had agreed to commit felony; that

they would fire into the house; otherwise only
those who fred were guilty. After diligent
search only five musket balls were found, and
Mr.. Bradley said here were nine young men

point out those who fred, they must acquit the
prisoners.
Mr.. Bradley will be followed by the District
Attorney; after which the case will 60 to the jury.
