u great and good man, as be certainly
was, said the speaker. Yet Gorham
forsook the teachings Of Lincoln, forgot
all Lincoln's plans and followed after
strange gods. In all Lincoin,s letters
and speeches, his messages to Congress,
his conversation with men from=the
North and men from the South, Lin
coin had recommended aud suggested a
policy the opposite of Gorham's. But
it was not only against Liucoln's policy
that Gorham was working, but against
the ideas of Washington and Jackson.
How was the instruction in Massachu-
sets put down. BY United Statestroops;
and yet there was no talk OF r~econstFuc-
ton, though the violence OF the out
break vas such as to endanger the
Union. What did Washington do with
Pennsylvania The insurrection lasted
two or three years; the United states
ordered out an army Of l5,00o men.
Did 1t over enter washington's head to
declare that Penusylvania was out OF
the Union, though fighting so long
against Federal troops2 What did JACK
son do with Carolina2 Did he declare
Carolina out of the Union? No; he as
serted that the Union at all hazards,
must be preserved, and that declaration
would make Jacksou's name loved and
revered while the Union lasted. what
they wanted preserved was the union OF
States, and that was what Lincoln
wanted all his life. How could they
carry on a war against StatesY No, 1t
was against the individuals in insurrec-
| ton ia the States that the war had been
| carried on, yet, according TO the Con-
gressioual plan, ten States were out OF
the Union. They were subject to Z

| that famous speech-there had been no
speech, to his mind, equalt to it since
Webster's eath-l0 ,o0o, 900 Of starving
men were sunk under the worst despot-
ism ever seen. What was Walker? a
rebel? No. No man had excelled him
in services to the Northern cause, by
pen and speech, during the war. Look
at West Virginia was that q legally
| constituted State? The Constitution
| provided that a new State could not be
formed by segregatiug a portion Of an
| old one, except by the consent Of the
| State to be divided. Could California
be divided without the consent Of the
Legislature? Then how was Virginia

to the partition? No. How could Con-
gress get the abolition Of slavery amend
ments to the Constitution ratified II
they were not States? Has not South
| Carolina done this? How could it if it
were not a State? How does Congress
propose to obtain ratification Of the
other northumberland he, the speak
or, hoped they would be adopted, and IL
he lived in the South would certainly
vote for them, whatever be might do
here-if the Southern States do not ex-
ist az States?
Madison, the father of the Constitu.
ton, Jackson and all those great men,
recorded their opinions for the warning
Of future generations, that the great
danger Of the American people did no,
lie 10 the Executive, that only lasted
four years, and then the people could
remove him /; but they were to beware
of the Legislature if it ever got into the
hands Of o few men. he need not tell
them that the tyranny Of 200 or 300 men
was worse than the tyranny of one man.
II they would not believe one man, and
that a Southern man, land he, the
speaker, was proud Of his Southern
BIRTH let them hear what a Connecticut
nan had said. He was glad to be able
to quote Dixon, because it took some
thing of the disgrace OF having pro-
dsosd sucb an arch lobbyist as Gorham,
of q State, By calling attention to u
better man. He read from one Of Dix.

that the men who were clamoring for

Generals to arrest, imprison, and punish

power of appealing to the Supreme
Court Of the United States for release
or redress. When they heard strong
Union men speak in this way Of this ter.
rible despotism Instituted by Congress,
was il not time for them to examine what
truth there wal in these allegations
Has England, asked the speaker,
pacifed Ireland by a similar system
Had she not been l~egislatiog against
Ireland for 200 years, and was she moi
legislating yet? They had tried to put
her down and they could not put hel
down. They might tell him that the
sun had stopped in its daily course TO-
wards the west; they might tell hin
that the tide had ceased to ebb and flow
in their noble bay, and be might believe
them, but they need not tell him, thai
the great heart Of the Irish people had
ceased to beat with indignation at En-
glish oppression. CApplause. How
had the English treated Scotland P
with uniform kindness. The one country
they had held up-the other they had
forced down. Scotland loved them
Ireland hated them. But all Gorham's
talk of Reconstruction was a cloak to
cover his attempted depredations on the
State Treasury. What did Lincoln say
to these States? he called them prod.
igal sons; invited them to return; prom.
ised them kind treatment; offered to
kill the fatted calf and make merry over
the son that repented. What did Cor
ham say when he saw the prodigal son
preparing to return to his father house
he said, "Go back" "Stay away" Go,
eat husks," "Starve, go to the devil in
despair" That was Gorham's Chris
tianity. That country had suffered the
horrors and the misery Of famine, and
must unavoidably suffer much more,
Lincoln foresaw this, and said he bore
malice to none, but had charity for all
Gorham said he had charity for none.
malice for all.
