LETTER IV
3D SERGEANT " eTANDING STONE GUARDS."
WASHINGTON CITY, May 5.
Quarters--dinprovements---"Great Excite
ment Guard House— Uniforms
-5,000 Secessionists—Company's _Res
pects, &c.,
Our quarters during the first week
in this place were very disagreeable,
owing to the opening of the building.
Dixie turned out pretty considerably
cold since our arrival and caused our
boys to roll up somewhat spoon-fash
ion, when enjoying the noiseless hours
of night, which are few, I assure you.
But things have changed. Building
has been altered; roof repaired and
hay secured for bedding. Changes
have also been made in the cooking
apartment, such as knives, forks, plates,
pots, etcetera. I will here remark I
have not seen a knife, fork or plate
since I bade you adieu until to-day.—
So much for war.
A great excitement arose in the
camp a few minutes ago, caused by
two " sobers" pulling hair. Scarcely
had they seized each other, until
"Guard House" rang through the build
ing, and soon they were wended thith
er. The guard-house is a small room
in the basement of the City Hall, and
serves very well as a resting place for
those who prefer rowdyism to obe
dience of military rules.
We were pleased to hear this morn
ing that our very much wished-for
uniforms had arrived. We understand
they consist of 'blue caps, blue coats
and grey pants in connection with first
class overcoats. What will "ye an
cient" borough think of the boys when
equipped, and marching to Alexandria,
a town seven miles distant, to attack
the 5,000 Secessionists that are report
ed to be stationed there?
I have been requested by the com
pany, to inform the citizens of old Hun
tingdon, through the columns of your
most excellent paper, that they unite
in returning their sincerest thanks to
them for the kind treatment they re
ceived before leaving, and especially
for the provision sent to Harrisburg.
Remember, myself included. We felt
somewhat provoked though, to think
the "Union Guards," of Petersburg,
were at Harrisburg, eating our provi
sion, while we were at Annapolis
starving. (I mean slightly.)
To-day at 3 o'clock, Rev. Butler,
(Lutheran denomination) pastor of St.
Pauls English, Rn., corner 11th and
W sts., delivered a very beautiful dis•
course fiom Re. Bth ch., and a portion
of the Bth stanza, to our regiment.—
We hope he may call back often.

senator Douglas on the War.
Treason must be Crushed
Speech to the Illinois Legislature.
Senator Douglas was publicly re
ceived by the Illinois Legislature on
the 25th ultimo, and made a patriotic
speech, urging immediate action in
support of the Government. He said:
I am not insensible to the patriotic
motives which prompted you to do
me the honor to invite me to address
you on this occasion, upon the momen
tous issues now presented of the con
dition of our country. With a heart
filled with sadness and grief, I comply
with your request.
For the first tithe since the adoption
of the Federal Constitution, a wide
spread conspiracy exists to destroy the
best Government the sun of Heaven
ever shed its rays upon. [Applause.]
Hostile armies aro now marching upon
the Federal capital, with a view of
planting a revolutionary flag upon its
dome, seizing the national archives,
taking captive the President elected
by the hands of the people, in the
hands of Sedessionists and Disunion
ists. A war of aggression and of ex
termination is being waged against
the Goiernment established by our
fathers. The boast has gone forth by
the Secretary of War of this revolu
tionary Government, that on the-first
day of May the revolutionary flag
shall float from the walls of the Capi
tol 'at Washington, and that, ou the
Fourth day of July, the revolutionary
army shall hold possession of the Hall
of Independence.
The simple question presented to us
is, whether we will wait for the ene
my to carry out this boast of making
war upon our soil,' or whether we'will
rush as one' man to the defence of the
Government , and its capital, to defend
it from the hands of all assailants who
have threatened it? [Great applause.]
Already the'piratical flag has been un
furled against the . commerce of the
United States. Letters of marque
bare been issued, appealing to the pi
rates of the world to assemble under
that revolutionary flag, and commit
depredations on the commerce carried
on under the stars and stripes. Hos
tile batteries have been planted upon
its fortresses; custom houses have al
ready been established; and we aro
required now to pay"tributo and taxes
without having a voice in making the
laws imposing them, or having a share
in the distribution of them after they
have been collected. The question is
whether this war of aggression shall
proceed, and we remain with folded
arms, inactive .spectators, or whether
we. shall meet ' the aggressorti at the
threshold and turn back the tide ?
So long as there was a hope of penee
ful solution, I prayed and implored for
compromige. - Tenn appeal to my coun
trymen with conAdOce, that I have
spared-no,'effort, omitted no opportu
nity; to adopt a peaceful solution of
all these troubles, lind :thus restore
peace, happinessiatid:fraternity'fo this
Country: When all propositions of
peace fail, there is bat one course left
to the patriot, and that is to rally un
der that flag which has waved over
the Capitol from the days of Washing
ton, and around the Government es
tablished by Washington, Jefferson,
Hamilton, and their compeers. [Great
cheering.],
What is the alleged cause for this
invasion of the rights and authority
of the Government of the United
States. Tho'cause alleged is, that the
institutions of the, Southern States are
not safe under the Federal Goverh
ment. What evidence has been pre
sented that they aro insecure ? I ap - -
peal to every man within , the sound
' of my voice to tell me at what period,
from the time that Washington was
inaugurated down to this hour, have
the rights of the Southern States, the
rights of the slaveholders, been more
secure than they are 'at this time
When, in the' whole history, of this
Government, have they stood on so
firma basis? For the first time in
the history of this,republic there is no
restriction by act of Congress upon
the institution - of slavery anywhere
within the limits of the United States.
Then it cannot be the territorial ques
tion that has given them cause: When
was the fugitive slave law executed
with more fidelityt than since the in
auguration oft the present incumbent
of the Presidential, office ? -,[Much
applause.] Let the people of Chicago
speak and tell, us when were the laws
of the land executed with as much
firmness and fidelity, so far as fugitive
slaves arc concerned; as they are now.
Can any mary'tell me of any one act
of aggression that has been committed
or attempted ! since the last Presiden
tial election, that justifies this disrup
tion of the, Federal :Union ?
I ask you td reflect, and then point
out any ono det that has been done,
any one duty; that has been omitted
to be done, of which any one of these
D isun ion ists can justly complain. Yet
we aro told, simply because one party
has succeeded in a Presidential elec
tion, therefore they choose to consider
that their liberties :are, not safe, and,
therefore, they will break up the Gov
ernment.
I had suppposed that it was a cardi
nal and a fundamental principle of our
system of Government that the deci
sion of the people at the *ballot-box,
without a fraud, according to the forms
of tho Constitution, was to command
the explicit obedience of every good
citizen. [Loud applause.] If their
defeat at a Presidential election is to
justify the minority, or any portion of
the minority, in raising the traitorous
hand of rebellion against the-constitu
ted authorities, you will find the future
history of the United Stateswrittenin
the history of Mexico. According to
my reading of Mexican history, there
never has been one Presidential term
from the time of the revolution of 1820
down to the day when the candidate
elected by the people ever served his
four years. In every instance, either
the defeated candidate has seized upon
the Presidential chair by the use of
the bayonet, or lie has turned out the
duly-elected candidate before his term
expired. Are we to inaugurate this
Mexican system in the United States
of America ? [No, never.] Supp'ose
the case to be reversed : Suppose the
Disunion candidate had been elected
by any means—l care net what, if by
any means in accordance with the
forms of the Constitution—at the last
Presidential election. Then, suppOse
the Republicans had raised a rebellion
against his authority. In that case
you would have found me tendering
my best efforts and energies to John
C. Breckinridgo to put down the Re
publican rebels. [Tremendous ap
plause.] And if you bad attempted
such a rebellion, I would have dulled
forth all the power and energies of
this country to have crushed you out.
[Continued applause.)
The first duty of an Ainerican citi
zen, or of a citizen of any constitution
al Government, is obedience to the
Constitution and laws of his country.
[Applause.] I have no apprehension
that any man, in Illinois or beyond the
limits of our own beloved State will
misconstrue or misunderstand my Mo
tive. So far as any of the partisan
questions- are concerned, I stand in
equal, eternal and undying opposition
to the Republicans and Secessionists.
[Applause.] You all know that lam
a good partisan fighter in partisan
times. [Laughter and cheers.] . And
you will find In e equally as good a
patriot when the country is in danger.
[Cheers.] Now, permit me to say to
the assembled Representatives and
and Senators of my good old State,
composed of men of both political par
ties, in my opinion it is ,your duty to
lay aside your party creeds and party
platforms; to lay aside your party or
ganizations and partisan appeals ; to
forget that you were divided-until you
have rescued the Government and the
country from their assailants. Then
resume your Partisan positions, accor
ding to your Wishes. [Applause.]—
Give me a• country first, that my chil
dren may live in peace; thou we will
have a theatre for our patty organiza
tions to operate upon.
Wo wo called upon to fold our arms,
allow the national capital to bo seized
by a military force under a foreign,
revolutionary flag; to see the archives
of the Government" hi the bands of a
people who affect to despise_ the flag
and Government of the United States.
I am unwilling to fly from the Feder
al Capitol.. It has boon my daily avo-,'
cation, six months in the year, for
eighteen years, to walk into that mar
ble building, and from its portico to
survey a country at the north and that
lying south of the Potomac. I believe
I may with confidence appeal to the
people of every suction of the country
to bear testimony that I have-boon as
thoroughly national as any man that
has.' lived in my day. [Applause.]—
And I believe if I should make an ap
peal_ to the people - of Illinois,. or of the
Nortern States, to their impartial ver
dict, they would say, that whatever
errors' I have committed have been in
leaning too far to the Southern section
of the Union against my own. [Ap
plauso.] I think I can appeal to friend
or foe—l use it in a political sense, and
I trust I use the word foe in 'a past
sense.. [Much applause.] I can appeal
to them with confidence that I havo
"e,i! ttWiktlial.W.4 l .: pas
sion 'a
my peOfon.agaivlt the minori
ty section or, this ,Union : ;, and; I,wilj
say to you now,, with all frankness
and in all. sincerity; that,Lwill never
sanction nor 'ficemiesce in any warfare
whatever upon' the constitutional rights
or domestic - institutions of the people
of the Southern. States.. .[Applause.]
On the contrary, if there was an at
tempt to invade those rights, to Stir
Up servile insurrection among the pee!
pie; I would` rush to, their, resone. and
interpose, with whatever, of strength I
might, possess, to defend them from
such a calamity. [Applause.] While I
will never fail to defend and protect
their rights to the full extent that a
fair and liberal construction of the
Constitution can give theM, they mast
distinctly, understand I 'Will never
quiesee in this invasion' of our consti
tutional rights. ' "
It is crime against the inalienable
and indefefisi hi right Of, 'el; - eiT'y
lean citizen 'to attenpt to destroy the
Government under which , ye were
born. It is a crime against constitu
tional freedom and the hopes of the
friends of freedom throughout the wide
world to attempt to blot out the TJnited
States from the map OrChristendom.
Yet this attempt is now being 'made:
The Government' f •our fathers is to
be, overthrown and destroyed The
capital that hears the name of the
Father of his Country is to be bom
barded and levelled to the earth aniong
the rubbish and dust of things that are
past ! The records, of 'your Govern
ment are to be scattered to the four
winds of heaven. The constituted au ,
thoritics, placed there by the Same
high authority that placed Washing-
ton, and Jefferson, and Madison, and
Jackson in the chair, are to be cap
tured and carried off, to become a by
word and a scorn to the nation's of the
world. [Never ! Never 11
You may think that, I - am drawing
a picture that is overwrought, and not
describing a . fact. No man who spent
the last week' in•the city 'of
.Washing
ton will believe that I have done jus
tice to it. • You have all the elements
of the. French revolution surrounding
the capitol ,now, and threatening it
with its tremors. Not only is its con
stitutional Government to ho stricken
down; not only is our flag to he blot
ted out, but the very foundations of
'social order are to be undermined and
destroyed; the demon of destruction
is to be let loose over the face of the
land, a reign of terror. and mob
to prevail in , -,ch section of the Union,
and the man who dares to plead for
the cause ofjustice and moderation in
either section, is to be marked down
as a traitor to his section. If this
state of things is allowed to go on, how
long before you will have the guillot
ine in active operation. ?
I appeal to you, my countrymen—
men of all parties—not to allow your
passions to get the better of your judg
ments. Do not allow your vengeance
upon the authors of this great iniquity
to lead you into rash, and cruel and
desperate acts upon those who may
differ with you in opinion. Let the
spirit of moderation and of justice pre
vail. You cannot expect within so
few weeks after an excited political
canvass that every man can rise to
the level of forgetting higpartisan pre
judices and sacrifice everything upon
the altar of his country; but allow me
to say to you whom.
,1 have opposed
and warred against' with an energy
you will respect, allow me to say to
you, you will not be true to your coun
try if you ever attempt to manufac
ture partisan capital out of the mise
ries of your country. [Much applause.]
When calling upon Democrats to rally
to the tented field, leaving wife, child,
father, and mother behind them to
rush to the rescue of the President
that you elected, do not make war on
them and try to manufacture partisan
capital out of a struggle in which they
are engaged from the holiest and pu
rest of motives. [Renewed applause.]
Then I appeal to you, my own Dem
ocratic friends—those men that have
never failed to rally under the glori
ous banner of the country, whenever
an enemy at home or abroad has dared
to assail it—to you who I believe to
be the puma patriots that over lived
—do not allow the mortification, grow-‘,
ing out of a defeat in a partisan strug
gle, and the elevation of a party to
power that we firmly believed to be
dangerous to the country—do not let
that convert you from patriots into
traitors to your native land. [Long
continued applause.] Whenever our
Government is assailed—when hostile
armies are marching under rude and
odious banners against the 'Govern
ment of our country, the shortest way
to peace is the most stupendous and
unanimous preparation for war. [Tre
mendous applause.] The greater the
unanimity the less blood will be shed.
[Much applause.] The more prompt
and energetic the movement, and the
more important it is in numbers, the
shorter will be the struggle.
Every .friend freedom, every
champion and advocate of constitti.: .
tional liberty throughout the ,land
must feel that this cause is his own,
and that there is and should he noth
ing that ought to be disagreeable or
humiliating to men who have differed
in times of peace on every question,
that could divide fellow-men, to rallY,
in union . in defence 'of the country;
and against all assailants. While all
the States of this Union, and every
citizen of every State 'has a priceless
legacy dependent upon - the success of
our efforts to maintain ' this • Govern-,
ment, we in the great - Valley of the
Mississippi haVe peculiar interests and
inducements to the struggle. - What
is the attempt now being made ? Sev
en States of this Union chose to de
clare that they will no longer obey
"the behest of the United States, that
they Will 'withdraw from the GoVerii
limit of our fathers, that they will
dissolve, with Ou t, our consent, the
bonds that have united, us togother.--;-
But not content' with that, they pro
ceed to invade and obstruct our dear
est and most inalienable, rights secured
by the Constitution. One of their
first acts is to establish a' battery of
cannon upon, the banks of, the Missi.s,-
sippi, on the dividing line between the
States of Mississippi and Tennessee,
and require every steamer that passes
down the river to come to ~under :a
gun, to receive 'a custom-house officer
on board, to prescribe whore the hoat
may land,•and upon iVhat. terms ;it„
may put out a barrel of flour'or a cask
of bacon—upon the river and upon the
borders of these States to cut off 'Our
freedom of trade.

and-from communication with alt.the

been so boisteroutlCiiii9their, denniad's
for free trad have among ,their first
acts established' 01l bxPort'lluty on
cotton for the first time in American
history.
Zt•is,ft historic? \filet/welt knownlto
every man who has road the debates
of the Convention .whieh.lframed the
Constitution, that the Southern States
refused to become parties to the Con
stitution unless there was. an ,ffpress
the'COnstitntion prohibit
ing Congress to levy an, export. duty
on any product of the earth. No soon
er have these Cotton States seceded
than an export duty' is levied ; -and- if
they. will . levy ;it:on their"eottl4, - db
you not think they will levy it on our
pork and 'our beef, add 'our corn,
and
our wheat, and .our manufactured
ticks, and all we have to sell? - - Then
what is the proposition ? It is, to en
able the tier of
,States bordering on
the Atlantic and the Pacific, and on
the Gulf,.surrounding ns on all side's,
to withdraw 6om our Union, form al
liance among themselves ; , aud ,then
levy 'taxes' oh as:Without 'our consent',
and collect revenue without giving us
any just proportion or ot'.all the
amount collected. 'Can we submit to
taxation without representation ?
[Several voices—"No 11 Can we per
mit nations foreign to us to , collect
revenues off our products—the fruits
of our industry ? I ask the citizens.of
Illinois; I ask every 'citizen - in the
great basin between-the Rocky Mount
thins and the Alleghenies; in the, vat : .
ley's of the:Ohio, Mississippi; and' Mis 2
souri, to tell Ano whether ho over
willing to sanction a line of - policy
that may isolate us from the markets
of the world, and make wa dependent
provinces Ipop the- powers .that: thus'
choose to isolate us ? [Many voice's
—" No !" and "Never !"
I warn you my countrymen, when
ever you permit this to be done in' the
Southern States, New York will very
soon follow their example. New York i •
that great port, where two-thirds of
all our revenue is collected, np
whence two-thirds of our goods are ex
ported; will not long be able to resist
the temptation of taxing fifteen -
lions of people in the great West when
she can:monopolize the resources and
release her own people thereby from
any taxation whatsoever., lletice,l,
say to you, my countrymen, froth: the
best consideration:l hitvorboca; aliterto
give to this subject, after thomost ma
ture reflection and thorough investi
gation, I have arrived at the conclu
mon that, come what may; war, if it
must be, although.l. deplore it as a
great calamity, yet, come what may,
the people of the Mississippi Valley,
can never consent to be excluded from
free access't6 the ports of the Atlas;
tie, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexi
co. [Great applause.]
Hence, I repeat that I am not pre
pared to take up arms, or to sanction
a policy of our Government to take
arms, to makewor,upon, the rights of
the authein States; upon their insti-,
tutions; upon , their rights' of persons
or property; but on the contrary,
would rush to theif 'defence and pro
tect them from assault ;.but while that
is the case, I will never 'cease to urge
my countrymeo to take arms to ; fight
to the death in defence of our inde
feasible rights; • - [Loud applause.]—
Hence, if a war does come, it is a, war
of self-defence on • our` 'part. It. 'is a
war in defence of our own just rights;
in defence of the. Government which
we have inherited as a priceless legacy
from our petriotie'fhtherS; in - defence
of those great rights of freedom of
trade, commerce, transit, and inter
course from the centre to the ciraum . -
ference of our great continent. These
are rights we must struggle for and
never surrender.
I haVe heruggl4didinostagainst boo
to avert the calamities of war, and to
effect areunionandreconciliatinn with
our brethren in the South. I yet hope
it may be done, but-I,am not able to
point out to youhow it may be. Noth
ing short - of•.erovideace c:ail(resicill to
us the issue of this great struggle.—
Bloody----calamitous—l fear it will be.
May we so conduct it, if a collision
must come r thet we will stantl:;jl)otifi
cd in the'eYes - of ft who knows our
hearts, and who,will-justifpour every
act. We must riot yield to resent
ments, nor to the spirit of vengeance,
much loss to the desire for conquest or
ambition
I see no path of ambition open in
a bloody struggle for triumphs, over
'my countrymen. There is no path el
ambition , o_penTfor es' divided
country. Hence, whatoyer we may do
must bo the result of duty, of - eonvie-t1
