will ever come when we can have a
peaceful election; aud, therefore, TO be
consistent, we should avoid all elections
in the future.
II may be contended, with some degree
of plausibility, that IL our political OPP
ponents bad the power which we possess,
they would use il TO secure the eight
electoral votes OF Alabama for Seymour
and Blair. But does the assumption that
the Democrats, il they had the power,
would deprive the people of the right to
vote, justify us in doing so2 II seems to
me that every candid man must answer
no.
1t is said that the old secession party,
whose leaders are prominent in the
Democratic party only, usurped, in 1860
and 1861, power which belonged to the
people, for the purpose of secession and
war; and that now the Republican party
would be justified in exercising clear
constitutional right in the interests OF
the Union and peace. admit that this
argument is not without some force.
Still, when examined carefully, / do not
think it can be regarded as sound; for
the effect Of It, as / conceive, will not be
for peace. The denial Of any right to q
people who have been in the habit OF
exercising it will, in my opinion, be q
source of irritation well calculated to
produce violence. Every original Union
man in Alabama felt aggrieved that the
Convention of 1861, which passed the
ordinance of secession, did not submit
its action to a vote OF the people. II was
held, and justly held, as a crime against
the rights Of the people. Those who
acted thus never sought to justify their
conduct on any other ground than that
of expediency. By their action they
showed that they were unwilling to trust
the people We all know the conse-
quences. They need not be recounted
here. Reference to them is only made
for the purpose Of showing that the
action of political or Legislative bodies,
based upon sxpediency alone, must,
sooner or later, operate ipjuriously to
the party resorting to it; and that when
measures Of expediency are adopted,
they generally lead to results far different
| from those designed to be reached. In
the particular case referred to, the con-
sequence was almost the total ruin of the
State.
For these reasons. respectfully return
the bill to the Senate without my ap-
