more by estranging from IL those who are

visions and sectional convulsions could
have been designed by the passage ot
such a resolution as this, 10y "A body of so

NEW ENGLAND AND THE UNION.
cannot forget, sir, the part played by
T., IL !
the maintenance of our liberties in the
republic. What is her record in the an
mails of the revolutionary war? The
whole number of men enlisted in the
continental service from the beginning to
the end of that war was 26l, ,959. OF these
Lorenzo Sabine says, in the historical
essay prefxed to his American Loyalists,
that 67 ,907 were from Massachusetts, lone
of the New England States) alone All
the States south of Pennsylvania proyid-
ed but SO, ,493, or less by S,4l4 than the
gallant Bay State sent. New England
equipped and maintained lis, $50 men
more than one half the total number
placed at the service of Congress during
the war. There stands her record. 1t
cannot be wiped out. ...-..-
And when this unnatural war was forced
upon US, true to her traditions, the men
of New England were the first to rush to
the defence of the capital when it was
threatened by traitors. Sir, am not a
New Englander; was born and raised
in the west; but am not ignorant of
New England genius, which is as famous
as her patriotism, her thrift and her
learning; nor can forget how my heart

ing with an exhibition of New England's
inventive faculty in a distant foreign
land. Far distant from home, among al
lens and strangers, the eye is gladdened
by the sight of anything American; and
there all petty divisions and geographical
lines are swallowed up in the great whole
of my native land. At great exhibition
in Pomerania, surrounded by from ten to
twenty thousand Germans, Woods grass
cutting machine and other Yankee con-
trivances and evidences of skill, quicken
ed my pulse and made my blood course
more proudly. Her inventive talent, her
industry, her intelligence, are proYerbiaI.
New England needs no eqlogy from me
she has been benefactor to the civilized
world, and would not detraot from her
merit but, Mr.. President, all she has,
and all she has done, and all she may ex-
pect to do, under the blessing of God, she
owes to the institutions which are the
pride and glory of this Republic.
l have sometime thought that we have
never properly realized our Institutions,
their glory, and their power. ! have
walked in Munich, where the doors OF
your Capital were cast, and in Florence,
GoJ -
ufactured, and have gone TO Sheffield
and into Birmingham, and as have seen
six hundred men at work in an establish
ment there, could not but think of one
feature of my country. There, from the
man in the lowest occupation to the
highest, there is in every branch a
boss workman, foreman, to sec that
each man does his proper work. have
seen that number of men engaged with
earnestpess and silence, each obeying his
foreman and doing his allotted work.
Then have come. to my own country
and gone into our own manufactures,
where have seen Ike number OF men
engaged but here is this peculiarity-
there is conversation, and not uncom-
monty you will see the boy at the grind
stone saying to the boss workman, this
cog is little too short, or that IS a little
too long. Sir, there are three hundred
thinking men in this country to one in
any other country. 1t is to our inventive
power, to this national trait in our char
acter, to our free Institutions, Ihat are
with us when We lie down, that meet US
when we rise up, that fill up every inter
stice of society, that fill every broad aye
rue in all this land, that New England
owes her prosperity, and all this country
her present renown.
With free institutions are inseperably
connected free thought; genius being
unrepressed it becomes prolific in its crea-
tions; and New England presents mod
el of Republicanisn for the instruction
of other communities. Owing so much
to its liberty, liberty is there secure, law
and Justice are impartially administered,
property is well guarded, and education
is universally difiused. No political COM
munity of an equal number of people
upon whom the glorious orb of day sheds
its benignant light, is more blessed in
these and other respects; among none
is there such care forsthe growth and de-
velopement of the religious sentiment !;
so few poor such untiring, comprehen-
siye and healthy philanthropy; such an
amount of wealth so equally distribu-
ted such promise of physical progress
nowhere is the ownership of land in fee
simple so universal; labor SO much re-
spected and SO well rewarded; progress
in all that purifes and ennobles man
kind SO rapid where the goyeInment
bears SO easily and is SO cheapfy admins
tered and among whom happiness in
the state, in the family, and in the indi-
yidual is so firmly founded on an inde-
strpctible basis. "LeaFe New England
out in the cold, Pas was said by the honor
able Senator from Kentucky Mr.. Dayis)-
4 Mr.. Davis-Let me correct the Senator.
l didn't say "leaye New England outin the

Maine, New Hampshire and Massachu
setts would be left in the cold if they
did not refnrm their politics a little. '
