surrection, or peace. The idea that at any time
for one single hour, this Constitution, because
civil war exists, is dissolved or gives way u
martial law, as to something higher and above
Itself, at the discretion or caprice Of the Preai
dent or Congress, or both together, is q heresy
Gs fatal to free government and as full of oil
evil as the whisperings Of Satan to Eve in she
garden Of Eden. No, sir,cno. The Constitu'
tion ie just as much above martial law as IL il
above civil law. From II alone arc derived all
the powers of the Government, and under 10
alone can they be exercised. .........
Contrasting these sentiments with those ex.
pressed In Mr.. DooLlrrLE's recent Chicago
speech, the Louisville Journal says:
The spirit here manifested aud the views ex-
pressed are such as beft IatFio!, q statesman,
and freeman; they are as different from the
spirit and the views Of Mr.. Doolittles Chicago
speech as light is from darkness or az patriotic
manliness is from partisan servility. The con.
trast or the contradiction Ia instructive 1t
shows how thoroughly within the last year the
radicals have subjugated the conservatives of
the Republican party, and how much the hope
of the people and Of the Union depends on the
overthrow Of that ruinous party at the ballot
box. The Republican party ia now out aud out
a radical party-an abolition party-a revolu-
tionary party-a Jac,bin psrty-a disunion par.
ty. Upon its overthrow at the ballot.box de.
pends she suppression of the rebellion, the SAL
vatien of the country, and the welfare OF the
cause of human liberty. Let every patriot in
the land, whilst faithfully doing his utmost
against the armed foe IN the field, grid his soul
for the great civil struggle which is upon us;
and let the friends of public freedom in all 9th
er lands sepd up their prayers for the success oil
its votares here at the balos.box no less than in

at present which think should dissolve IL; bul
II the gentlemen see it, cay again that they

Union, In my judgment, that We of the North

You can not forcibly hold men 10 this Union;

will be found speech delivered in the United
States Senate by the Hon. BENJAMIN F. WADE,
of Ohio, the great leader of the Republican
party In this State. He said:
But Southern gentlemen stand here, and in
almost all their speeches, speak of the dissou.
tion of the Union as an element Of every ar
gument, ss though IL were peculiar conde-
scension on their pars that they permitted the
Union to stand at all. If they do not feel In
terested In upholding this U1ion--if it really
trenches on sheir rights--if il endaneers their
institutions to such an extent that they cannot
feel secure under tiff their interests are yio-
lently aseailed by means of this Union--I am
not one Of those who expect that they will long
continue under il. am not one of those who
would ask them to continue In such Union.
II would be doing violence to the platform of
the party to which belong. We have adopted
the old Declaration OF Independence as the ba-
sls of our political movement, which declares
shat any people, when their Government ceases
to protect their rights, when 1t is 90 subverted
from the true purposes Of government as TO
oppress them, have the right to reour to funda-
mental principles, and, II need be-, to destroy
the Government under which they live, and %
erect on its, ruins another more conducive to
their welfare. hold that they have thi. right.
i will not blame any people for exercising it,
whenever they think the contingency has come.
IceItsinly shall be the advocate Of that same
doctrine whenever ! find that the principles Of
this Governments have become go oppressive to
the section TO which belong, that free people
ought not longer to endure it. You will not
then find me backward in being the advocate
of disunion; but that contingency never having
come, have never yet opened my mouth in op-
position to the Union. have never entertain
ed q thought disloyal to this Union. But sey,
