give signal indication that ths American peop,s
are growing fesentfu and Fessivs under the ssrsgs

We siieds TO an occurrence which :ranspiyed in

patient, law abiding people. The Anglo Saxon

them slow TO anger, and 70 fofbcar violent and
bloody resistance 10 wrong and oppression while q
peaceful remedy lies anywhere near their cra.p

OF heated and cngovernabie passion, terrible as

not count too largely aGd too surely upon that
liberation which. ws confess. has already shsmed
the american character abroad, and provoked de-
rsion and iaockery all over Europe.
Nobody would depiore more deeply than cur
selves the reign o! anarchy and social chaos in our
midst. We nave the example of France before U.s.
that In the wild mae!sirom of revolution and pop

that no dove comes from the ark that floats upon
its heavlng and turbulent waters; that the good
tufYer with the bad, the innocent with the guilty

femorseless waves. And yet there Is something
more terrible even than this contemplate Ii Is
tue paralysis OF great pcup.e struck dumb and
u
ism--fearful to speak, lest some hired Ininion of
the prevailing and aoouad.rg tyranny shat, strike
the audacious utterer d0wa-feasfui To write The

what mental agoRy to live Ia such Tay!esS and
ssariess night Of bondage az fhis, to ons who has
once tasted the sweetness Of refined and enIight-
cned liberty
TO break such bonds whole hecs,ombs of lives
have been sacrificed, and the worlds history Ia il
Illuminated with the chivalfic deeds of those who
have died in marlyrdom 70 the holy caussof truth
and justice.
What has been may be again. "uistory is phi.
losophy teaching by example," Hence We ssy,
les thOss most interested profit by the warnings of
the past, and beware how they tax too much the
patience and forbsarancs OF this people. Even
worm will turn when troddsn upon; and Is less ex
peeted Of man, fashioned after Gods own imsGe,
and bearing about him at least OF the ineffa
ble attributes of his "a Makers And may we not hope
that the rsta!ia:ory incidents we have cited viii
have their due effect in checking those dlsgracsfui
q hlbtions Of Iawless and esurped authority which
have become almost chronic, and teach their au
thors that II will not do to play" with that vol
canio nre which flames intas popular heart, and is
constantly fed BY the enjoyment and luxury OF
popular liberty.

for the last three years tn the formation OF
9 more perfect UnI0nf
No language that the tongue Of man eau ute,
would form 30 expressive an answer 70 such q
question as a silent survey Of the dreadful scene
which lies before W gulf of blood and tears,
nud all of human agony which the afflicted race OF
know this side OF the dread abodes Of th .
damned, divides the suffering aud miserable ssc-
tons Of once fIstsrnai aad contentod people,
s.a,esmsn Of Christian faith fmbusd with the lofty
spirit OF Him WHO gave His oleasing to the merci
fiIl, could again span this hOI1d chasm and bind
together the torn and bleeding isamcnts of the
Union. But an evil star 10 raging In our sky, and
under ito malgn power Of legislation Of tae land
appears al. the fEcnEied, mardsrous, disjointsd
dreams of q maGman In his cell.
Such a penal code a. now eiands In the way OF
the return OF the men, WOMsn, and children Of the
south to their allegiance, has no parallel In the
annals of the human race. 4 thousand miles ef
aibbets with the dangling halter and the ready exc
cutloueI; universal connsssuon Of property to the
gemotsst period Of an innocent postsEly, tine abso
lutte determination OF u whole people and the ap-
propriatcn OF the dspopuiatsc country 20 the IN
sparing demands OF more than Norman conquest;
the utter extinction Of every vssge OF Our present
form of Government BY states, all this and inf
ntey more 10 contained In she enaefnen.s which
already stain tho records OF american Legislation.
But why need dwell upon these evidences OF
disunionl The great leader of the Administration
on this floor, the gentleman from Pennsylvania,
(Mr. Stsvsns,) has deliberately here announced,
after ali our sacrifices, sorrows, and loss, the
Union Of our fathers 10 dead, and he who attempts
its resurrection is q criminal instead of patriot
he GOES further, and admits Ill these seeded
States have ever siaimsd d their nationality. They
have sought In vain In all the four quarters OF the
earth for recognition. They Cad IL al lnai In tbs
