existence of armed rebellion. The people were
asleep. But for this the capital would have fallen
without resistance. His colleague is Of this mind STILL
and therefore he reterates to-day the war ought 70
stop, Yet the 6nly means by which the Union could
be maintained under the Constitution was by the
force of arms. The other part Of his collea-
pv,e's speech was intended to satisfy the
poople that he is for the Constitution as il aud the
Union as it was. His colleague had told them
again that he had never voted men or money TO
carry on the war. Suppose all had acted as his
colleague had acted, what would have been the re-
suit No bills would have been passed authorizing
volunteers and enlistment 10 defend tho flag, and
arming equiping and supporting in the held

to the Rebels, who have multiplied graves all over
this land-a subject to which his colleague bad ap-

war will necessarily cease. The South would then
surely triumph over the Union and the Constitution
and hence his colleagues resolution contemplated

colleague the admonion Of Washington, that the
Cons.iutJn is sacred aud obligatory upon all until
changed by the act OF the entire people. This was
a sufficient RESPONSE 10 his colleagues assertion
that the people would pay no more taxes, and would
