Breckenridge.

Senator breckenridge closed his anti-war
speech on the naval appropriation bill, in the
Senate Tuesday, by expressing hope that
after the frenzy of the hour was passed, Divine
Providence would leave, out of the wreck of
the Union, the priceless principles of liberty
and selfgovernment,' 1t would not be easy
to infer from this specimen brick that the late
Vice Presidents speech was devoted entirely to
an attack upon the Government for making any
efforts to protect itself against the assaults OF
domestic foes, and to preserve the priceless
principles of liberty from the encroachments of
the most unchristan and inhuman despottm
that ever stained the annals of any civilized
Nation Yet such is the fact and the speech
demonstrated as clearly rs Southern log c could
demonstrate, that every act of the Government
in defence of the public property, and in the
support and maintenance of the law, was not
oaly unconstitutional and in defiance Of those
very laws, but was utterly subversive of the
liberties of the people.
Mr. breckenridge has had his essay" He
has uttered his protest The Senate heard him
through. N1r. Iiuo vi luuldud DIleuy anu
sharply replied to the distinguished gentleman
who had the honor of playing second fiddle to
James buchanan, and then, in the brief lam
suage of the telegraph, q" the bill was passed. y
Breckenridge may as we'll 60 home. 1t is
pla that the Union isn't going to wreck, and
so there will be no work for wreckers such as
he. He can buy plantation, if he doesn't
already own one, and gathering around him
hundred ebony chattels, reduce to practice in
his own way, 81 the principles of liberty and
self.government." 1t is pretty evident that
neither Congress nor the people are inclined to
adop, his views. Ard while he is aboutit we
wish he would take Vallandighanl and Ben
Wood along with him. He might, perhaps,
make them useful as schoolmasters or body serv-
ants, and if he was a little " short" Ben could
" raise the wind by lottery scheme.
