Sir, is it true that you carrot put down the
white population inithe rebelious States by
the strong arm Of the white population OF the
loyal States, that you talk abJut arming the
slaves? Will you place upon the records ol
the history the acknowledgment tiat TWEEN
ty and odd millions of us canaot overcome
one third that number without invoking the
help OF slaves and this institution OF slavery,
which you say is weakness and curse to
those who have il? 1t is a Tiie SANDER upon
the loyal men and the power OF this nation.
II Is onession oil weakness felt only BY
towards. Sir, we will, put this rebellion
down, II gentlemen will not put in this apple
OF discord to divide us. Let the fieuds OF
the Union gather round its standard, and do
what it becomes brave and patient men to
do; let them do as the greatness Of the cause
calls upon them to do; and we will teach the
leaders Of this rebellion a bloody lesson. -
Oyerthrown in battle, they shall wander,
melancholy and degraded, exiles in foreign
land, or they shall deliver up their accufsed
lives TO the iudgmen, OF the courts of the
country. 1t can BE done, and shall be done;
the fortune of the Republic and the bravery
OF her sons and the wisdom Of her Govern
ment wills it. There are enough freemen in
the West who are determined to preserve
this Union TO do it. The States OF the Mis-.
sssippi cannot part. God, when he formed
this cenntry in geologic seas. decreed its per-
petual ainity and union, NdsAtlantic quar-
rel for commerce can break the bonds that
bind them. We say to gentlemen Of glorious
New England and the further East that we
want your assistance; but il you will not
help US upon the, past policy of this Admin
iistration TO restore The Union in its full in
tegrity and put down the REBELLION, we will
do it without you. Ohio, Indian, Illinois,
Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Kentucky and Tennessee have the wi
and the might TO put dbwn the bellion; and
they will put it down, without the assistance
Of the Indian or the negro. Already their
regiments are elnbattled an our soil, prepared
TO baptize anew American fraternity in heir

Mr.. Chairman, IT will be apparent to every
gentleman who has watched closely the
course Of this rebellion, that its first impulse
had been expended, that its forward force
had come TO a halt, That its power began to
wane upon the entrance Of Kentucky upon
the field as an active belligerent in this war
for the Union. That period marked not on
ly the forward boundaries OF The rebellion,
but marked its decline. 1t was certain to die
OF the weight OF its own inamy with COM
mon prudence on the part Of the friends OF
the Union. aaH
Now, sir there are two dangers which
threaten the Union. There are two sources
only from which the rebellion can possibly
receive a fresh impulse, without which it dies.
One is foreign war; and the other, dissen-
sion among the friends OF the Union. We
might Outlive the storm Of foreign war. 1t
would possibly secure the present position OF
the rebel.oius States, but it could not give
them any forward impulse; It's worst effect
would be to fix their boundaries where they
now stand, it could NOT do more But, sir,
dissension among friends Of the Union wo'd
have far wider result. From the passage Of

bellion would advance; it would receive a
fresh impulse; its original pretense would be
justified as truth. Some of you propose to
ennancipate the slaves of loyal masters as
we'll as those OF rebel masters Some of the
gentlemen say the loyal man has no more
right to hold slaves than the rebel; and with
their view Of the question, they are right; of
cou,sc, II slavery is sin, no man has a NOR
alright to hold slaves. A virtuous man sho'd
not commit sin. Then, say the first at
tempt to emancipate slaves will necessarily
result in the enlargement Of the boundaries
Of the rebellion. N i'll ons OF the reyolted
States, now faithful, awaiting in Silence and
grief the banner Of their country, with one
heart would join The foe. That instant the
people of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland
would resist the execution of such an act;
that instant the loyal men Of these States,
with many Of the men from the free States
in arms for the maintenance Of the Union,
but who have not gone into the war for the
purpose Of freeing slaves, or to accomplish
the Africanization Of our society, will dis.

manity, everything that Is honorable in the
human character would compel them that
instant to throw down their arms. They
would revolt at the idea Of having been
drawn into d war under the pretense, oi sus-
tainlng the Union, but in fact for the purpose
Of forcing emancipation upon the States OF
