Mr.. BOCOCK Dem, Va.l resumed and concluded
his remarks from yesterday, conepdng that the bill
proposed AN attempt 70 enforce the Federal laws nde-
pendent Of the civil power of the country. lie could
not say what the Border Slave States woud do in the
event Of the passage Of this BILL but he knew that
Virginia is committed, and her honor and interests
require she should resist the intended warke agres-
sons the other Southern States. If the bill becomes
law be haIared tbe opinion that in less than three
months all the slave Border States, with one or two
exceptions, viii be found standing with the seeded
States. lie argued that the Republican party Is
liz haast IT, in
opposition the extension Of Slavery, and is raying
CIV il that Southern institutions TO be crcmscrbed
and opposed while those advocated by that party
to be extended In conclusion be said the Republicans
adhere 10 their platform with enscty than to The
CorstiluLicn and In the name of the Constitution,
Which the bill volaedin the of his constituents,
who Were to BE- injured by tin the name of the
country, whose peace was 10 be destroyed, per-
maps never 10 be restored, and in the of human
ty he denounced and execrated the bill Suppressed
applause In the galleries.
Mr. HOWARD Rep Michl ohanA cried such re-
marks As tnore Of Mr. Bocock Us mere claptrap. The
appeals OF the gentleman made To be sent to Viz
ginia TO influence the Convention now in session, in
ssting to break up the Government which has taken
the experience Of more than half century TO establish
The gentleman denounced the bill in the Of
humanity M unconstitutional, and appealed TO the
House 10 let the Seeding States 20. Why don't We
let them go They came into the Union ii il raid,
seeking 10 promote their happiness but as they now
find they cannot sccure it, Why not let them gol
violate the oath they have taken TO support the Const
tuition Why blink that question. We have no power
TO LET any State 60 out Of the Union. Our sole
dy h. to TppS the wSss ,bs a%d cent
shall be legally dissolved, we shall be re-
leased from our oaths, but so long as he stood
here under oath support the Constitution, he made
no appeal TO any to violate that oath, and he
wished to hear none TO that effect from any quarter
Ill did not believe they will confer the President
amy additional powers it has any value it is mere,
is explanatory Of existing Laws. Within less than %
days C forts have been seized, and IL Of them held
against the power Of the Government. II this seizure
was made by any foreign government or all the pow
ers of the world combined would take arnls
against them. These forts mount 100 guns, and the
property cost 5000 coo out Of the public treasury
The very soil has been purchased, and the title to the
land i in the United States No person on earth has
right TO interfere with them, yet they have been
seized and held, and certain gentlemen not
alarmed all about the disturbed peace of the country
oh mol Ii the Government which are sworn To
support would bs allowed peaceably and quietly
to go out Of existence then there would be no more
war; forsooh He regarded all appeals about coercion
ms intended 10 divert the public mind from the real
issue. The charge of coercion il most absurd Co
ercion il mpossbty in the very mature Of things
according 20 the organization Of the State and Federal
Governments which he proceeded to show, and in this
connection referred 10 seizure of the
the mint money, and other public property, and argu
ing that any Government which rghtfully exists has
the power TO maintain s existence. Ii Government
has rot the power of such defense it ia Government
al all.
