THE DOCTRINES OF THE ooNsPIRAToRs
PROCLAIMED.


THE DOCTRINES OF THE ooNsPIRAToRs
PROCLAIMED.
On the 18th of January 1861,
Mr., Pendleton in his place in the
House made a speech in reference
to a pending bill entitled ian act
further to provide for the collection
of duties on imports" which is
fully reported in the Congressional
Globe. AppendiXj vol 55, page
70.
Atthat time four States had with
drawn from tie Union, had spurnd
the authority of the General Gov
eminent and had seized the forts,
arsenals and custom houses Of the
United States, thus rendering it i'm
possible TO execute the laws or to
collect the revenues Of the country.
The object of the bill, which had
been introduced by Mr.. Bingham
of Ohio, was to enable the Govern
ment to execute its revenue laws
1t WAS drawn in almost the exact
language of an act of 1888, under
which that iron hearted patriot,
Andrew Jackson, so summarily
suuelched rebellion and treason in
South Carolina. Mr.. Pendleton,
failing to follow the noble example
of jackson, opposed, most bitter
ly, this bill, which was intended
to destroy rebellion and treason in
1851. HG
Mr.. Pendleton said
"But, sir, money; armtesj blood,
will not maintain this Union. Jus
