You may discard their warning in mock

therefore have have committed telo de Sc,

lations OF my colleague, which still lnger
from the past session, and in the bill OF the
member from Pennsylvania, for q hundred
thou.and black soldiers, hear the death
rattle 10 your throats. You will pass away;
and you will only be remembered to point q
political moral, and to teach, as Robespierre
and his radical times teach US, that anai chs
and dcstructives have their uses in the po
litical world as the hurricane and pest siilence
IN the physical world. The very attempt to
foil the popular will you are now making
will make your condemnation more terrible
There is something ;nsurrectionary, says
Arnold, the historian, in the attempt to re-
rain the popular will. Had you and the
Executive bowed to tho popular verdict, as
in England, under less liberal system, the
rulers ever do posterty might have embalm
ed you like little immortality for that act
Of grace But, no; this thunder tone Of dis
satisfaction with your conduct is seized upon
and avowed by some here in my presence as
the very reason why now, in the brief time
of your power, you should enact further
mischief
You had, and would yet have, the whole
conservative iorce in war to overthrow the
organiza ion of the Southern Confederacy.-
You were not content with that. We were
united on that but you were determined TO
divide the North. By culpable and treach
erous divergence from the plain path marked
out by the Crttenden resolution you are de-
termined to make this war against civilized
usage; to overthrow State institutions and
blot out State boundaries; and by defiance
OF the organic law, to defeat the cause o
the nation, by making the old Union impos'
sible. r.r .-.. ..a
But mark! you will not succeed. The ar
nv itself will never consent to degrade itsel
by becoming superior to the civil power
You cannot use it to break through the sa.
cred barriers which protect the Constitution
Nor will the people ever consent to give t
proclamatluns tho force Of law; for even il

dtional privileges which were secured BY
their ancestors. Beginning even be ore Mag
ma Charts, written in the Apologies" ant
bills of rights OF the Anglo Saxon race, en-
acted thrty>two times from Runnymed,
until the Declaration OF Right in 1888, they
are vet preserved in the fundamental law o
this country. At the recent election the
poodle asked, as Wentworth once questioned
certain dispensing power in England
whether there be any counsel that can make
add TOO, or diminish from the laws of thi'
realm?" They ask now, in this our House
of Commous as they will ask more proudly
in the next, whe e;hsr the spirit yet live'
which resisted ship money, the dispensing
power oil the Stuarts, and arbitrary imprison
ment, and which demanded trial upon accu
sation and by a jury whenever the subjec
was seized by the sovereign. They know
that there is no compensation for yielding
these rights Of personal security, withou
which all other rights are useless. This is
part OF the, meaning Of the elections; an
