SPEECH OF HON. H. Il CARPENTER,
Every discussion should tend to the poiu
In issne: Frequently those who might agret
upon MI that Is important arc divided 6y
discussion which embraces non-e:sent1a
things. In these times united action on the
part OF the whole people is needed; and this
cen be obtained by directing the public mind
to the precise thiag to be accomplished.
We need not necessarily discuss the propri'
etY Of or necessity for the Presidents procla
nation Upon that subject there is under
stood to have been difference OF opinion il
the Cabinet, hesitation on the part Of tht
President; and very likely We should find diff
ference Of opinion amcog the speakers AMI
hearers tonight. But tuat is not the ques
tion. Wise or uuwise, necessary or unneces
sary, 1t has gone forth, and the only question
now to be considered Is, shal the yoixsn,nen
fE Sustained in enforcing It? The ship OF Stat,
is tossed by angry waves; our liberties, our ma
tioDa1 existence even, hang on the results o
military operations, and the commander mus
take the responsibility Of directing what shall
ways do the Hiscst thing, but VIC hare NJ
hope but in executing, uuitedly and without
disrutation, such plans as the President may
devise. We arc not presidents, not generals
not cabinet officers; the sovereign power o
the people is delegated, and cannot be recallct
tutional term Of Office; and during that tern
this grave question must be settled for Q
against the existence OF the govern
Tent. The necessities Of military sue
cess require subordination to one guldin
mind. and any policy, cern the ,cors
is preferable to no policy We have drifte
