General Henry A, Wise declared, in the conrse
Of an address delivered at Norfolk few days
ago. that it is no spirit OF insubordinahon or re-
belhon TO lawful authority which forbid his taking
the oath but that the oath itself is false in its
TERMS in that it is taCt admission that there has
been a rebellion; that he and others were rebels,
and therefore traitors; that there Is an existing re-
bellion and that he has been false to the GoHsti-
tntion Of the United States and the union Of The
States themselves, whereas for nearly ha!f q
century he had, by word sne deed, IN peace and
war, battied for the Constitution and the Union
and before the war began had been one who had
desired to fight the fight in the Union. Those
oalhs were not necessary, could not accom- lish
any good result, and did but promote perjury
hypocrisy, and general demorahzallon: az
being the condition precedent of even making an
application ior pardIn 1t was an ab>urdity and
o crime. man must swear, not before ne 10
pardoned, but before he can even ask to be par
doned. In the kingdom Of grace, Eeid he, who
ever heard of such mnnetrosity, For himself he
asked no pardon, for the reason that he had COM
mitted no offense for which to he pardoned.
The asking OF pardon admitted guilt, and for
himself he conscious of no guilt, He had
} obeyed those who had the right 10 sommand.
3 The very article ofthe Constitution OF the United
States which was involved 10 warrant the making
OF upon Virginia and the other Southern States
gave those States the authority To do all that might
requisite to defend themselves against invasion
and insurrsctiun. Virginia called him to the field
Of blood, and duty demanded that he should obey
: that CAL. And it was too late now 10 talk about
there being no Cause, when Virginia had been m
vaded in her every county, and every square foot
C of territory and had neen blasted, burned, des-
troyed her churches befouled, even the graves OF
her dead worthless polluted, her houses burned, her
labor stolen away.
And vet now that for peace her sons had sur
le rendered ut Appomattox ana Greehb9ro. and had
III taken the amnesty afforded Them, they are told
IN that, although they could not leave tue Union,
nevertheless they are not in the Union, and shall
not come into the Union until they consent to sub
NIT to terms of degradation, than which death
would be a blessed boon. Aye, the grave Of
!. George Washington is to-day out uf The Union we
are told. Those sacred relics of Mount Vernon
IS are not in the Union, hut Virginia, once tht
r T. mother of States and satesmen,n di~membereS
e and dismanted, is to be held in vassaage and CON
n ditou OF territorial dependence.
n The terms of the amnesty oath were still fur
ther criticised, especially that clause referring
e the laws passed and proclamatons issued during
the war. The speaker avowed that with the re
suit of in the eXirpation of slavery he had nc
quarrel. 1t cause of devuut thanks to Coo
n that he had been released from the presence and
d pressure of negrodom; but while he thus rejoced
C ut the result and while he would not alter thai
result if he could, never would he eoncede the
rightfulness Of the means employed to effect thai
J. end.
