she do! She must take the initiative and
lecare warupon the United States. Then
force must be met by force, and she must
hew out ker independence by Yiolence and
war. There was no other way under the
Constitution that he knew Of if State Sc
cede and declare war. He did not suppose
that there was a lawyer on the floor but
who will say that the act Of ievying war is
treason against the United States. That is
The result and we may as well look. THE
matter in the face. The Senator from Tex
as says that the South viii force an igno-
lminioEs treaty from us in Faneu Hail.
10 this he would answer, ''Well, YOU may;
we know your powers; we know your bra
very; we do not want to fight with YOU,
but nevertheless if You drive us to the ne.

/ There was no such immunity for him.
There was no way, then, for State to 90
out Of the Union, but she could demand
iequal justice under the Constitution, and
indicate her grievances while the flag Of thu
nation waved over her. Therewas no way
for State to 90 out Of the Union, except
by making war and indicating by force
Of arms her right to independence, and if
she did thus, he had prophesy in his minl
4 No man would regret more than himself
the disruption Of any portion Of the United
States where the people think themselves
Iaggrieyed, if there was any honorable re-
lease from it. But all this trouble is a mat
ter ofpreiudice superinduced by listening to
the enemies Of the Republican party. We
arc looked upon in the light Of enemies: we
lare branded as traitors; we arc styled John
Brown men; but if the South secede we
will preserve the Union and await the glo-
Iious future. Mexico owes England eight
millions Of dollars, and asks of us protec-
ltion, and she has all the elements to build
up glorious Republican Empire. The
! Republican party viii do anything for the
Union. The Senator from Illinois and his
colleague had said that the Black Republi-
cans were going for reign Of equality, and
would build up black Government He
J(Wada) thought it would be one Of the
most blessed things, if inducements could
be made to every black man among us TO
find home in Central America or Lower
Mexico Then adopt the homestead poll
ley, and we will have such power, vested
/ in native white men, rs was never before
seen. Men Of every cline come among us,
and we will build up nation Of laboring
men. Then Canada will knoc'- at our
doors, and we will have all the elements to
build up republic more powerful and
more Just than the world has ever dream
ed Of lie was for maintaining the Union
/ of the States. lie would sacrifice every
thing to maintain it. The glorious old flag
Of ours never shall, by any act Or word Of
I bis, cease 10 wave over this nation rs II Isl
Bat, if we will have ii in The new renovated
Government Of which he had spoken, tho
old fourth cf July will never be repealed,
and the, old hag, Of 177G will float over tbs
nation forever. This capitol gentlemen hed
said would do fora Southern Republic.
Sir, it shall ever be- the capitol of our
Union 1t was hui by Washington and
consecratcd by him, and the flag yindea-
ted IN thc war Of the revolution, shall ever
continue to float to the breeze over IT,
4 Applause in tbs galleries. Washington
md his patriots fought for that good old
flag and it was the glory Of their lives
His (Waae's) own father, though hum
bic soldier, fought 10 save the great cause,
and went through seyenfcld hardsbips for It.
He bequeathed the flag Of his country 10
his children for their protection. 1t was
his (Wade's) protection in youth and the
glory and pride Of bis ripper years, and tho
il might be assailed by traitors on every
side, vet, BY tho grace Of God, under its
shadow he would die.
