, OhriOn, as preached by the gentleman
: from the Bureau district of Illinois. He
( is q man Of great boldneSs, apparently,
and | must do him the justice to say that
: he advocates abolition and its consequent
ces with great fearlessness, though he is
, too discreet to make as strong speeches
} in SoNheEn Illinois as he does at Chicago.
He and several other gentlemen ofkindred
, opinions favored me by canvassing
through my district during the last cam
, paign that | made for Congress, and it
gives me grcAtpleasurc to state that they
were quite moderate

Mr.. Richardson. Well, sir, they we're
like the boy whom the minister of the
Gospel foand fishing on Sunday. Said

fSo II was with my abolition friends when
they sportcd in my district; they were
not very wicked for they caught no fish.

Sir, will not digrcss, but return to
the consideration Of the solemn RESPONSE
bilitieS that are resting upon U.S. Our
country is menaced by secessiOnistS in
arms, rebels, upon one hand and by abo-
litioni>tS nullitiers of. the laws and the
Constitution upon the other. Sir, pro-
pose bayonets FOR the former ballots for
the latter. These two classes disposed,
and there will be return to the pros.
pcrity, the peace and happiness of the
earlier days of the Republic. Sir, these
armies were raised to execute The laws
and maintain the authority Of the Consti-
tuition in all the States. They are, sir, to
suppress armed viulatcrs of that instru-
iyr0t. l;td SIC, L c,;ti&i&S Gsr the peopie
at the ballOt-boX to suppress these north
ern violators of the Constitution, if they
would preserve the rights and liberties of
American freerncn.
For ono, wherever | am called, and
whenever, shall be always ready to dis
charge my portion of this duty. Neither
the cry Of disloyalty nor the charge Of
sympathy with the rebels, whether it EN-
anateS from usurpers of the peoples rights
in high places or from the base plunder-
erS of the Government, who make the ne.
gro a hohby-horse upon which to ride into
enormous ard extortionatc contracts
neither, sir, shall deter me from the full
and complete fulfillmcnt Of my duty as
Representative. | dcnounce here-and
no one shall gainSay my right to do so as
the Representative of gallant aud loyal
people the action Of this Congress and
Of the several Departments upon the ne
gro question. | denounce it as having
neutralized to great extent the effect of
many Of the hard earned victories which
our soldiers have fought and won for the
"Constitution as it is, and the Union as il
was" This, sir, is what life and happi-
ness has been periled for in the loyal
States; for this | now address you; for
this, upon this issue, shall 20 before the
people Of my State during the coming
year; for this shall there expect to
speak, to act and to vote; for this, sir,
expect that extreme men, AbolitioniSts
and disuniOniStS, will be banished from
the councils of the nation.
This great work accomplished, grim
visaged war will smooth his wrinkled
front. The din of arms will be lost in the
hum Of busy industry and the hymn Of
domestic endearnent. The Constitution
as it is will stand Sublimely forth, an en-
during monument to the wisdom of our
