The House being in, Committee of the
Whole on the Mate of the Union in consid
eration of the' Preaidiat's Message, Mr.
Long said,:.
Ma. CB4IRICLIN : I speak to-day for the
preservation of the Government, ant, al
though for the first time within these walls
I propose to indulge in that (readout of speech
and latitude of debate so freely exercised
by other gentlemen forth. past four months,
and +Which Is mitaissable under the rules in
the present condition of the House ; but for
what I miy say aid the position I shall od
oupy upon this door and before the country,
I alone will be responsible, stitli the Mt&
pendende of s lierteentative of the people,
I intend to presleim the deliberate convic
tions of my Plage:rent In this fearful hoer
of the attntry's peril. And new, Mr. Chair
men, as we are in Committee of the Whole
on thee State of- the Union, let us inquire r
how stands the Union to-day
A little over three years ago, the present
occupant of the Presidential mansion at the
other end bf the.avenuo, came into this city
under cover of eight, disguised in plaid cloak
and Scotch cap, lest, as was feared by his
friends, he might hive received a warmer
. than would have been a , reeable an
way roug. Baltimore at a e an. s o
DRS cousillutrots of the hentirable gentleman
fro. Maryland (Mr. Davis). Op the 4th of
March he was inaurrated, and in his ad
dress deprecated civil war, using that ever
to be memorable language. "Suppose you
go to war, you cannot tight always. and
when, after much lune on both sides, and no
gain on either, yew cease fighting, the iden
tical old questions as to terms of hammers,
are again upon you." Seven States had up
to that time seceded from the Union. A.ll
believed that war would be litigated. As
the conclusion of the address the lamented •
Douglas, who had closely Watched every
Word as it escaped from the lips of
-President. turned to a friend, and,
tears itt Warier, "thanked God thai
the election of Abraham Li/10
involve the nation in war."

la Charleston harbor the people
iiilired upon the Fort. The tele
bore the news to this city and on its
itinentien itt-tiss- President, be exoliim
ed, "I knew they would do it," which to
my mind is conclusive that it was intended
expressly for That purpose. Seventy-live
thousand men were immediately called for,
war was inaugurated, twenty days -were
given the insurgents - to lay down their arms;
an additional five hundred , thousand men
were soon celled for, and hoetililies com
menced. The rebellion was to be crushed
inside of sixty days; more 'troops were cal
led for : the Union was to be restored with
all the rights, equality and dignity of .the
States unimpaired. No man was permitted
to question for a moment the rigkt of the
Government to coerce the States bark into
the Union. To doubt the right or question
the speedy suppression of the rebellion and
restoration of the Union, was to be denoun,
oed as a traitmr, to the Government and a
sympathiser with the South. Thus, sir,
was the war inaugurated. The first
, year
passed away ; the second came and passed.
in like manner, so of X. third"; 'quid now,
sir, let me agtin inquire how stands the
Union to-day ? The brief period of three
short years has predated a fearful change
in this free, happy and prosperous Govern
ment Leo guarded in Ha restraints upon per
sonal liberty.' and so gentle in its demands
upon the resources of the people, that the
celebrated Humboldt, after travelling
threugh the country on his return . to Ramps
said ; "The American people have • Ger
ernment which you can neither see nor
feel." So different is it now, and so great
is the change, that the inqury might be well
made to day, are we not in Constantinople,
in Bt. Petersburg, in Vienna, in Some or'
in Paris ? Military Governors and their Pro
vost Marshals override the laws, and the
echo of the armed heel rings forth as clearly,
now in America as in Franoe or in Austria,
and the,President sits to day guarded by,
armed 'soldiers stationed at every spproach
leading to the -Executive mansion. So far
from crushing the rebellion id sixty days
three years have already passed" away and
fromibe day on which the conflict began
up to the present hour, the Confederate ar
my have not been forced beyond the sound
of their gnus from the capitol in which we
are assembled. The City of Washington is
to day, as it has been for three years, guar
ded by . Federel troops in eft the 'forts and.
fortifications with *lsiah it is surrounded to
prevent an attack from the enemy, and as

the language id which Lincoln attains Con
gress and the proceeding Congress have
spoken and are speaking to the people of the
South2-and now, sir, with snob a prospect
before them as the sequel of sabseiseine,
outlawry disfranchisement, social, metal
and political degradation, penury for thew.
selves and their children, decreed as their
portion, will they throw down their arms
and submit to the terms ? Who shell be
lieve that the free, proud American, blood
which courses with as umiak pulsation
through their veins as our own, will not be
spilled to the last drop in resistance I' This
is the source, Sir, from . whence comes en
couragement, strength, support and suste
nance for the Confederates ; herein lies the
secret of the unity of their action, the pro
longation of the contest and the desperation
of the conflict produced, not by anything
said, or measure& proposed by gentlemen
upon this side of the House, or by any
measures proposed or permy advocated by
the Democratic party, but by the acts of the
gentlemen who make the charges, and the
President and his military •commanders,
who lonia the proclamation and military or
ders.
Mr. Chairman, I have deemed it proper
thus to advert to the charge of encourage
ment to.theConfederatee so repeatedly made
upon this door, and 1 again recur to the con
sideration of the Union. Can the Union
be restored by wart I answer most un
hesitatingly and deliberately no, never;
"wet: is dual eternal separation " My Ant
and highest ground of oppositioo to its fur
that: prosecution is that it is wrong; it is in
violation of the Constitution and of the fun
damental principles on which the Federal
Union was founded,. My second objection
is that as a policy it is not reconstructive
but destructive, turd will, if continued, re
sult speedily in the destruction of the Gov
ernment and the loss of civil liberty to both.
North and South, and it ought therefere im
mediately to cease.
In order, Mr. Chairman, that we may
know what views were entertaind upon the
rigbe as well as the expediency of coercing
States into submission by some of the de
departed as tell as living statesmen of the
country, previous to the ineleeneneesnent of
the present war, I propose to call the atten
tion of the House and the country to a few
a:trot:tit' which to my mind ere worthy of
consideration as this time.

Thus, Mr. Chairman, spoke John Quint,'

anniversary of the inauguration of Gary"

of the party to which he belonged shared in

Andrew Jackson in his farewell address
to the American people, has sofematy warned
them that the citizens of one trac tion of the
country arrayed Wanes ege the other
would be the end of the Union end an end
pof the hope of freedom. He says: That, ..if
I such a struggle islificte' begun, and the eiti-
ZOOS of turesection of the gauntry are arrayed
in arms against those of the other, in doubt
iful goodie.. let tit, tattle result as It may,
there will be an end of the Union and with
it an end of the hogs of freedom. The vie
tory ofthe injured would wit sewers to them
the blessings of liberty; it would avenge
their wrongs, but they would themselves
share in the common ruin.. The Caseate
ion outset be • mithtained nor the Widen
preserved in oppooltfon re public, feeling,
by the mere exertion of the coercive power
of the government."
But thie opinion, thatthe Union cannot be
preserved by the coercive powers of the
government, was not confined to the depar
ted statesman of the country.
William H. Seward in his letter of
April 11, 1861, to Mr. Adams, our Minliter
to England, said:
"For these reasons, the. President would
not he disposed to reject a cardinal doctrine
of theist (the rebels) namely, that the Fed

Government ooald not redoes the sear

though be were digitated to question that
proposition. But in fact the Preeldent will

or despotic government could subjugate
thoroughly disaffected and ineurrectionery
members, of the Sterne. This Feder"' Re
publican system of oars is of all forms of
geiernment the very one which fir most un
fitted for such labor.v
Such was the 'language of the Secretary
of State in April, 1861, three days befell
the Sunday' on 'which the President wrote
his proclamation, yelling out arm/Ay-five
titto‘vd troops, but Shier Orrill Statestad

of the President, that the attempt to subju
