Though there my first gang touched yoursoul with emotion
Ab wave after wave broke in foam at our feet.

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.

WHAT IS. HISTORY.
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

which had not been paid for, and received
a release Deed for it from the Proprietaries,
who in turn received, at the hands or the
Iroquois a confirmation Deed for the lands
of the Juniata region.
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.
