Gen. Garfield Throws It Down. ley the Republicans Will Fight-They Mill N - ot - Conclpromise and They Cannot be Coerced--They Will Not Submit to Revolution. the National House of Representa tives, on Saturday, the 19th ult. Alex. 11. *Oats, of Ge.,rgia, made a speech in support of the Democratic plan to pass its partisan legislation or starve out the Gov ernment. In reply to this revolutionary 4neasure Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, addressed the House, and spoke substantially as fol lows : j He began his speech by referring to the gravity and solemnity of the crisis that had now been brought upon the country, and declared that the house had to day re solved to enter upon a revolution against the Constitution and the Government, and that the consequence of that resolve, if persisted in, meant nothing short of sub. version of the Government. tie sketched the points at isslue between the two houses at the close of the last Congress, and read from a report. of oile of the Senate con ferces. to the effect that the Democratic conferees on the part of the House were determined. unless the action of the House was concurred. in, to refuse making appro priations to carry on the Government, and be also quoted from the speech of Senator Beck, (another of the conferees) to the effect that theDernocrats claimed the right which the House of Commons in England had established after two centuries of eon durst. to say that they would not grant thi money. of the people...Ai:Jess there was *- redress of fgrievances. These propositions, cootioncd Mr. Garfield, in various forms, more or less vehemently, were repeated in the last House, and with that situation of affairs the betSrtiii came near its close. The Republican majority in the Senate, and the Republican minority in the House, ex pressnd the deepest possible solicitude to avoillhe catastrophe here threatened.— They express their strongest desire to avoid the danger to the country and to its business of an extra session of Congress, and they expressed their willingness to let go what they considered the least impor tant of the propositions—not as a matter of coercion at all, hut as a matter of fair adjustment, and compronsise—if they could be met in the spirit of adjustment on the other side. Unfortuoatel), no spirit of ad justment appeared on the other side to meet their advances And now the new Congress is assembled, and after ten days of deliberation, the House of Representa tives has resolved substantially to reaffirm the propositions ofits predecessor—and on these propositions we are met to day. The question may be asked why we make any special resistance to propositions which a great many gentlemen have declared are to be considered of no importance. So far as this side is concerned, I desire to say this : We recognize you, gentlemen of' the other side, as skillful parliamentarians and skillful stratvgists. You have chosen wisely and adroitly yoar line of assault. You have put forward, perhaps, the least objectionable of your measures, bat we meet that as one part of your programme. We reply to it as an order of battle, and sae are as much compelled by the logic of the situation, to meet you en the skirmish line as we would be if you were attacking the intrenchments themselves. And, there fore, on the threshold, we desire to plant our case on the general ground on which we choose to defend it. Mr Garfield then referred to what he had said on the last day of the last Congress, 'as to the division of the Government into three parts—the nation, the Senate and the people; and be said a foreigner could point a dozen ways in which the Government could be killed, and that not by violence. Of course, all Governments might be overturned by the sword. But there were some ways by which this Government might be utterly annihilated without the firing of a gun . The people might say that they would not elect representatives. That, of' course, was a violent supposition, but there was no possible remedy for such a condition of things, and without a House of Represen tatives there could be no support of a Government, and consequently there could be no Government. So the States might say through their Legislatures that they would not elect Senators. The very ab stention from electing Senators would ab solutely destroy the Government. Or, supposing that the two Houses were as sembled in their usual order, and that a bare majerity of one in either House should firmly bind itself together and say that it would vote to adjourn at the moment of meeting each day, and would do that for two years in succession. In that case what would happen, and what would be the measure of redress ? The Government would die. There could not be found in the whole range of judicial or executive authority any remedy whatever The Ex ecutive had no power to destroy the Guy eminent Let the Executive travel but one inch beyond the line of law and there was the power of impeachment. But if the electors among the people elected Rep resentatives, or if the electors in the State Legislatures who creates Senators, or if Senators and Representatives themselves abstain from the performance of their duty, there was nn remedy. * * * * * * I want it understood that the proposi tion which I have read, and which is the programme announced to the American people to-day, is this, that if we can not have our way in a certain manner, we will destroy the Government of this country by using the voluntary power, not of the people, but of ourselves against the Government to destroy it. What is our theory of law? It is free consent. That is the granite foundation of our whole structure. Nothing in this Republic can be a law that has not the free consent of the House, the free consent of the Senate, and the free consent of the Executive. Or, if the Executive refuses his free consent, then it must have the free consent of two thirds of each body.. Will anybody deny that Will anybody challenge a line of that statement—that free consent is the foundation rock of all our institutions ? And yet the programme announced two weeks ago was, that if . the Senate refused to consent to the demand of the House, the Government should stop. The proposition was then, and the programme is now, that, although there is not a Senate to veto it, there is still a third independent factor in the legislative power of the Government, which is to be coerced at the peril of the destruction of the Government. I am not arguing at present as to the merits of your three amendments at all ; I am speaking of your methods, and I say that they are against the Constitution of our country. I say that they are revolu tionary to the core, and that they may tend to the destruction of the first element of American liberty, which is free consent of all the powers that unite to make the law. It is a little surprising to me that our friends on the other side should have gone into this great contest on so slender a topic as the one embraced in this par ticular bill Victor Hugo said in his de scription of the great battle of Waterloo, that two armies were like two mighty giants, and that sometimes a chip under the heel of one might determine the vic tory It may be, gentlemen, that there is merely a chip under your heel, or it may be that you treated it as a chip on yodr shoulders. But whether it is under your heel or on your shoulder, it represents a matter of revolution, and we fight for the chip as if it were an ingot of the richest ore. [Loud applause on the floor and in the galleries.] A DEMOCRATIC MEASURE Let us see what the chip is. Do the gentlemen know what they ask, when they ask us to repeal ? Who made this law which you now demand to have repealed in this bill ? It was introduced into the Senate of the United States by a promi nent Democrat from the State of Kentucky, [Mr. Powell ] It .111118 insisted upon in an able and elaborate spttech by him. It was reported against by a Republican commit tee in that body. It went through days and weeks of debate in the Senate, and when it finally came to be acted upon in that body, this is about the way the vote ran : Every Democrat in the Senate voted for -it, and every Senator who voted against it was a Republiean. No Democrat voted against it, but every Democratic Senator voted for it.. Who were they ? Mr. Hen Bricks of Indiana, Mr Davis of Kentucky, Mr. Johnson orMarylirtitifiTreDougal of California, Mr. Powell of Kentucky• Mr Richardson of Illinois, and Mr. Sauls bury of Delaware. There were fewer R 3 publican Senators who voted for it than there were who voted against it. Thirteen Republican Senators voted against it, and only ten for it. The bill then came over to the House, and was put. upon its passage here. And ;low did the vote stand in this body ? Every Democrat in the House of Representatives voted for it-60 of them. The total number of persons who voted fiee it in the House was about 113, and of that number a majority were Democrats. The di.einguislted Speaker of the House (Sam uel J. Randal]) voted for it. The dis tinguished Chairman of the Comnuittee on Ways and Means (Fernando Wood) voted for it. A distinguished member from Ohio, now a Senator from that State, (Mr. Pendleton) voted for it. Every man of leading name or fame in the Democratic party, who was then in the Congress of the United States, voted for the bill; and not one against it. In this House there were but few R-publicans who voted against it. I was one of the few. Thaddeus Stevens voted agaiist it. What was the object of the bill at that time ? It was this : It was alleged by Democrats That, in those days of war, there was interference with elections in the border States There was no charge of any interference in the States where war did . not exist. But lest there might be some infraction of the freedom of elections, a large number of Republicans in Congress were unwilling to give any ap pearance whatever of interering with the freedom of elections, and voted against this law as an expression of their purpose that the army should not be improperly used in and about any election. . Mr Stephens—l wish to ask the gen tleman if the country is likely to be revo lutionized and the Government destroyed by repealing a law that the gentleman vo ted against. [Laughter on the Democratic side Mr. Garfield—l think not, sir. That is not the element of revolution that I have been discussing. The proposition now is that fourteen years have passed since the war, and not one petition from any Amer lean citizen has come to us asking that the law be repealed; not one memorial has found its way to our desks complaining of the law, and now the Democratic House of Representatives hold that if they are not permitted to force on another House and the Executive, against their will and against their consent, the repeal of a law that therDemocrats made, it shall be suffi cient ground for starving this Government. That is the proposition we are here de bating Mr. Wood of New York—Before the gentlemen leaves that part of the discus sion, I desire to ask him whether he wishes to make the impression upon this House that the bill introduced by Senator Powell of Kentucky, which resulted finally in the law of 1865, was the bill that pessed the Senate and the House, which he stated that the present Speaker of the House and myself voted in favor of. Mr. Garfield—l have not intimated that there were no amendments—there were amendments. Mr. Wood—l want to correct the pression. I deny that so far as lam per sonally concerned I ever voted for the bill except as a substitute for a more pernicious and objectionable measure. [Applause on the Democratic side.] Mr. Garfield—All I say is a matter of record. What I say is that the gentleman voted for that law, and every Democrat in the Senate and in the House who voted at all voted for it. 111 r Wood—l want to ask the gentle man whether, in 1865, at the time of the passing of this law, the war had really yet subsided, whether there was not a portion of this country in a condition where it was impossible to exercise an elective franchise unless there was some kind of mili tary interference ; and whether, at the ex piration of fourteen years after the war has subsided, that gentleman is yet prepared to continue a war measure in a time of profound peace in the country ? Mr. Garfield—l have no doubt that the patriotic gentleman from New York took all those things into consideration when be voted for that bill, and I may have been unpatriotic in voting against it, but be and I must stand on record as made up. Let it be understood that I have not at all entered into the discussion of the merits of the case. I am discussing a method of revolution against the Constitution of the United States. • A HISTORIC PARALLEL, I desire to ask the forbearance of the gentlemen on the other side for remarks that I dislike to make, for they will bear witness that I have in many ways shown my desire that the wounds of the war shall be healed. and that the grass that God planf.s over the graves of our dead may signalize the retnru of the spring of friend ship and peace between all parts of the country. Rut lam compelled by the ne comity of the situation to refer for a mo ment to a chapter of history. The last act of the Democratic domination in this House eighteen years ago was stirring and dra matic, but, it was heroic and high-sonled. Then the Democratic party said, "If you elect your man as President of the United State.; we will shoot your Union to death." And the people of this coua• try not willing to be coerced, but believ ing that they had a right to vote for Abra ham Lincoln if they choose, did elect him lawfully as Presidetit, and then your lead ers, in control of the majority of the oth er wing of this c.pitol, did the heroic thing of withdrawing from their seats, and your Representatives withdrew from their seats and flung down to us the gage of mortal battle. We called it rebellion, but we admitted that it was honorable, that it was courageous, and that it was noble to give us the fell gage of battle, and fight it out in the open field. That conflict, and what followed, we all know too well; and to-day, after eighteen years, the book of your domination is opened where you turn ed down your leaves in 18G0, and you are signalizing your return to power by read ing the secund chapter (not this time an heroic one) that declars that if we do not let you dash a statute out of the book you will—not shoot the Union to death as in the first chapter—but starve it to death by refusing the necessary appropriations. [Applause on the Republican side.] You, gentlemen, have it in your power to kill this government. You have it in your pow er. by withholding these two bills. to smite the nerve centres of our Constitution to the stillness of death ; and you have de dared your purpose to do it if you cannot break down the elements of free consent that, up to this time, have always ruled in the Government. LESS HONORABLE THAN .THE SECESSION PLAN In 1856, in Cincinnati, in the National Democratic Convention, and still lateii; in 1860, the National Democracy in the United States affirmed the right of the veto as one of the sacred' rights of our Gov ernment, and declared that any law which could not be passed over a veto by a two thirds vote had no right to become a law, and that the only redress was an appeal from the veto to the peopfe at the next election. That has been the Democratic doctrine on that subject from the remotest day—certainly from Gen. Jackson's time until now. What would you have said in 1861 if the Democratic majority in the Senate, instead of taking the course which it did, had simply said,. "We will put an amendment on the appropriation bill de claring the right of any State to secede from the Union at pleasure, and forbidding any officer of the army or navy of the United States from interfering with any State in its purpose to secede ?" Suppose that that Democratic majority had said then, 'Put that on these appropriation' bills, or we will refuse supplies to the Gov ernment." Perhaps they could have kill ed the Government then by starvation. But in the madness of that hour, the lead ere of the secession movement did nut dream that it would be honorable to put their fight on that ground, but they walked out on their plan of battle and fought it out. But now, in a way which the wildcat se cessionists never dreamed of taking, it is proposed to make this new assault on the vitals of the nation. THE GAGE OF BATTLE Gentlemen, (addressing the Democratic side of the House), we have tried to count the cost. We did try to count it in 1861, before we picked up the gage of battle ; and although no wan could then forecast the awful loss in blood and treasure, yet having started in, we stayed there to victory. We simply made the appeal to our sover eign—to that great omnipotent, public opinion, in America—to determine wheth er the Union should be shot to death. And now, lawfully, in our right and in our place here, we pick up the gage of battle which you have thrown down, and will appeal to our common sovereign to say whether you shall break down te princi ple of free consent in legislation at the price of starving the Government to death. We are ready to pass these bills for the support of the Government at any hour when you will offer them in_tlie ordintry way, and if you offer these other measures as separate measures we will meet you in the spirit of fair and fraternal debate But you shall not compel us—you shall not coerce us—even to save the Govern went, until the question has gone to the sovereign to determine whether it will consent to break down any of its voluntary powers. And on that ground, gentlemen, we plant ourselves. [Loud, applause or the Republican side and in the galleriesl We remind you. in conclusion, that tbi; great zeal of yours in regard to keeping the officers of the Government out of the States has not been always yours. Ire member that only six years before the war your law authorized marshals of the United States to go through all our households and hunt for fugitive slaves. It did not only that, but it empowered marshals to call a possee comitatus, and to call upon all the bystanders to join in the chase; and your Democratic Attorney General de Glared, in an opinion in 1854, that a m•ir- Flial of the United States might call to his aid the whole posse, including soldiers and sailors and mariners of the United State , , to join in the chase and hunt down the fugitive. Now, fellow members of the House, if, for the purpose of' making sla very eternal, you could send your marshals and could summon posseesand use the armed forces of the United States, by what face or grace can you tell us that in order to procure freedom in elections, and peace at the polls you cannot use the same marshal with his armed posse ? But I refrain from discussing the merits of the proposi tion. I have tried in this hurried and unsatisfactory way to give my ground of opposition to this legislation.

History requires diligent study, the con stant use of maps, and careful recurrence to dates History is valuable and inter esting only because it is true. Facts and dates are the bones of its system, without them it cannot-stand; and its muscles, and even its blood are useless. Its heart can only vitalize a structure held in proper position by these bones. Its brain can only impress us, when it rules over a body thus complete in all its parts. Fancy and fic tion have no place in History It is not what might have taken place—not what ought to have been done—not what we may imagine to have occurred—not that which reads most smoothly, or is most amusing or thrilling, that the faithful reader of History wishes When he wants these, he procures a novel at once. Then be knows what he is reading. He knows it is all a dream—all a vision; the story is funny and entertaining ; but after all, he knows it is untrue. When, therefore, we come to read _History, we want facts; we want to know what really did occur, with out any unnatural embellishments. We want no dateless concoctions served up in an imposing address. The province of History is to adhere to the truth in narrat ing the events of the past. Is what follows we shall try to keep these thoughts in mind. THE JUNIATA REGION. If yon will look on the Historical Mop of Pennsylvania, or on one of the maps yearly published by the Land Department of our Secretary of Internal Affairs, you will see the State colored in eight sections, denoting the several purchases from the Indians by the Proprietaries of the Prov• inee. Among these you will observe a see• tion in the southern and central part of State, mostly drained by the waters of the Juniata river, though on the toduth by the Potomac, and on the north partly by the Susquehanna, which for the sake of brevity may be properly termed the Juniata Region This region is bounded an the east by the Kittoehtinny, (Kittatinny) or Blue, or North Mountain; and 44, witeseds west ward to the Allegheny mow.liiic, On the south it is bounded by th - 9 - lgaryland line ; and it extends to. the iittrtb kg far as the Sgsquebinea' siver,!

THE UNINLIARITEO INTERIOR. About 150 years ago (1654 to 1727) this Juniata region was oye east unbroken wilderness, on which tho foot of the white man bad never trod: It was he ld . by the rigbt of conquest by the Six 'llations, or Iroquois, livingOn (lie interior lakes of New York State, and chiefly it . iedby them as a hunting ground, though sometibes oc cupied by roving bands of their own men and other conquered tribes. About the time of the adves of Igero peen settlers on the Atlantic coast, and for a century afterwards, these - Irogyois were carrying on ea , extertninating warfare against all the other tribes in every diree• tion. The regions of Upper Oanada., she Ohio valley, and the whole country south ward along the Appalachian chain of mountains was depopulated. The'ndilons that onco inhabitedl tiles& regions were either destroyed, driven taw!, or their remnants adopted byl a Nir lialughteror4. The Iroquois that, as Hon verse hall "ruined so many nations" • h sway over the greater portion of Ake coPptig east of the Mississippi. ANOTHER RACE OF OCCURANTS, So, when William Penn arrived.in 1682, the most of the regions watered 6y. the upper Susquebannah and its tributaries, bad long been depopulated. and eftstituted an empty interior entirely unexplored and unknown. Just prior to the penetr4ion of' this interior region by white men, it was again occupied by other races of red men, whose original seats were on the Delaware and in the Southern States. These facts, and their wonderful bearing in elneislating the early aboriginal history of this section have been generally overlooked by writers upon our Indian ethnology. In the course of these artioles we shall endeavor to treat somewhat of these interior, pre Penn and pre-Columbian races, and in doing so we must travel abroad in every direction for direct information as well as for similar facts for illustration.
