Mr. Speakor, tho Senator from Bradford maserta, that “this question of slavery meets Us everywhere, it moots us here, nthomo, and on the stern and bloody battle field)” and os claims in oscited and angry terms **wc must how ? “Necessarily of three ways,' says tho Senator, “First—wo can submit to bo ruled aud ruined by it.— Second— we can continue as we have been do ing-fight the rebellion with one hand, and hold up slavery [with the other, until both par ties are exhausted; then settle our difficulty (iy allowing, or by compelling the seceding States to fall back into the Union with slavery, slave representation and all'its concomitants asafore tims. I have feared," says tho Senator from Bradford, "there were too many men, in high places who desire ihis : mode of settlement.” But the Senator asserts “this -would be a false and fallacious cure for our existing ills. Lot no one delude himself and others, by point ing to this as tho pathway from the wilderness to the promised land. It never should, it nev er can, it never will be done. 1 ’ There you have it, sir! There is no mis taking the position of tho Senator from Brad ford find nis followers. He 1 and they will B6Ver, hO»never! consent that this Constitu tion shall he maintained as it is, and the Union restored as it was. Oh, no sir I He and they assert, “it never sheuld, it never can, it never will be done.” ■ I hold him and them to all the consequences of this treason able ane rebellious position. It is fortunate, sir, that it is so boldly aad defiantly proclaim ed. The people fully understand it, have the simple and direct remedy in their own hands, and that they will apply it swiftly and surely, who will doubt? But, sif; in order to show_ what are the true, legitimate and con stitutional objects of this unhappy struggle; I would refer tho Senate to tho recorded opin ions of those who aro directing it. First of all, sir, let mo read from the Proclamation of President Lincoln, issued on the loth dav of April, 1861: J . "I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, fa cilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our national Union, and the perpetuity of popular government, and to redress wrongs already long enough endured. . “ 1 deem it proper to say that the first ser vice assigned to the forces hereby called forth, will probably ho to repossess the forts, places and. property which have been seized from the Union; and in every event,- the utmost care will bo observed, consistently with the objects aforesaid,- to avoid any- devastation, any destruction' of or interference with prop erty, or any disturbance of peaceful citizens & any part of the country.” .. . .’ Then again, listen to. the following extract from his last annual message: ■ "I have, therefore, in every,ease, thought it proper, to keep the integrity of the Union prominent, as the primary object to the con test, upon 1 our part, ■, leaving the questions which are not of vital military importance to the more deliberate action of the Legisla ture” D ■He says further: “ I have' been anxious and careful that the inevitable conflict for this purpose shall not degenerate’ iota a violent and remorseless revolutionary struggle*” The? resolution offered by Mr. Sherman, of • Ohio,.on the 11th of February, 1861, re-as serts the life-long policy and doctrine of the. country upon this subject. It is as : Sherman, by unanimous consent, submitted tho following amendment in the ’ nature of a.substitute for both of the resolu tions submitted by Mr. Palmer, viz: Strike out all after the word 1 Resolved/■ and in sert:' “That neither tiie'Cbngress Of the United States nor the people or governments of the non-slaveholding States have the constitution al right .to legislate upon dr interfere with slavery in any of the slaveholding States of the Union.’ “And : the' question being put, ‘ Will the ■ HoaseagToo thereto ?’ . “ ft was decided in the affirmative. “ The question then recurring on the said resolutions as-amended, , “ Mr. Sherman moved the previous ques tion; which was seconded, and the main question ordered and put, viz: ‘ Will the House : agree to the said resolutions as amended?’ •, “And it was determined in the affirmative | -‘-yeas 161, nays o.’’ ' But, sir, the celebrated resolution of Mr. Crittenden passed by Congress, with but two .. dissenting votes, on the twenty-second day of Suly.laat.should set this matter at rest for evbr: " by Vie Bouse of Representatives . fff the Congress of the United- States, That b ‘ the present. deplorable civil war has been ftreed upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States, now in revolt against the constitutional government, and in .arms - around the capitol. That in this national emergency. Congress, banishing all feelings of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty.to the.whole country. , That this war is not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of oon ; quest or subjugation, nor purpose of over throwing or interfering with the rights or es tablished institutions of those States, hut to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with ’ all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; and that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought, to cease.” _ In order to illustrate' more clearly tho'po sitipn and views of the President on this sub ject, I beg leave to read an extract from the speech of the Hon. Caleb B. Smith, his Sec retary of the Interior, delivered at Provi ... donee, August 10, 1861, in which he says: “My friends, I have known the President long and well. It has heefi my fortune to bo selected as one.of his constitutional advisees. I.have bad the honor of being connected with this Administration since its commencement; , and I tell you to-night that you cannot, find in ■ South Cri-olina a man more anxious, religious- Ty or scrupulously to observe all the features of the Constitution relating to slavery than Abmham Lincoln, My friends we make no ?Oar upon Southern institutions. We recog nize the right oi South Carelina and Georgia to hold slaves if they desire' them.” That Mr. Smith did not misrepresent the views of the President, is proved by the fol lowing extract from the letter of the Presi dent to Fremont, directing him to modify his treasonable and seditious proclamation of August 30, 1661 r “I think there is-great danger that thej closing paragraph in relation to the confisca tion of property and the liberating slaves of traitorous -owners, will alarm our Southern Union friends and turn them agaibat us pßrpaps ruin our rather fair prospect in Ken tucky, Allow me, therefore; to ask that you will, as of yourewn motion, modify that par agraph so as to conform to the first and fourth sections of the act of Con gross,.-entitled “An Act to confiscate property used for insurrec tionary purposes,” approved August 6', 1861, and a copy of which act I herewith send you. 1 “Hours, very truly, ' And that at this hour t like sentiments, is amply provci , t l e , rtaine of Mlarob 6, 1862, urging the adoption 0 f a resolution asserting that the United States Blwuld 00-opprato with any State which may acopt a gradual abolishment of slavery by giving such State pecuniary aid: J Such a proposition onihepart of the general government sets up no claim of a right bg fed etaVauihoriiy to-interfere wUh slamy within hlatc limits, referring, as it docs, the absolute control of the subject in eachcase to the State and tit people immediately interested Xt is •witE < thcm'' a mattor ° f frco choice *i.t" 60 ° 3 , sar & ? !r : f “rthe7,to substantiate l r n ™" ? >* w.

It does not belong I to tho military to decide upon the relation of 1 master and slave. Such questions must bo settled by tho civil courts. No fugitive slave will, therefore, be admitted within our lines or camps, except when specially ordered by the General Commandingl” Again, the joint proclamation of Commo dore Goldsborough and General Burnside to the people of North Carolina, dated the 18th dt I ebruary, declares : ' ihey impose upon your credulity by tel ling you of wicked, and even diabolical in tentions on oiir part; of our desire to destroy your freedom,- demolish your property, liber ate your slaves, injure your women, and such like enormities—all of which we assure you is not only ridiculous, but utterly and wilfully false. J “The government asks only that its au thority may be recognized; and, we repeat, m no manner or way does >it desire to inter fere with your laws, constitutionally estab lished, your institutions of .any kind wbat ever; your property of any sort, or usages in any respect.” . ; . Is iho Senator from Bradford satisfied as tp the true design and object of this war ?- — No wonder, sir, he and his misguided follow- 1 ers “ fear that there are too many men in high places, who are willing .to settle our dif ficulties by allowing, or by compelling the seceded States to fall back into the Union with slavery, slave representation, and all its concomitants as aforetime.” Thank God, sir, “ many men, in' high places ” seem to have some regard for the Constitution and laws still lingering ,in their breasts, and if they had not, we, the people, would plant it there, by that inherent might and power which it is our right and duty over to wield in tho de fence and support of the Constitution and the laws. ' But, Mr. Speaker, what is the third and only made of settlement which the Senator from Bradford proposes ? It is by general, universal emancipation ! as the following ex tract from his speech fully demoustaates 5 ; ■ Let.me explain. Slavery, is the creature of State laws. • The, general government is bound to protect each State in the mainte nance ofitS local laws and local institutions, so long as these do not conflict with, the Con stitution of the United States, and so long as the State herself bows to the supremacy of that instrument. But.’ when an' individual I State ignores the Constitution, and swears al legiance to an alien and hostile government, its local laws fall to the earth, and all the in stitutions created by them go down with them. The result is; there is not to-day,‘a single slave in all seceded States, There are millions of colored people, but no slaves. To whom do’they owe allegiance ?■ To the rebel confederate government? If you say. yes, you acknowledge that a legitimate, and au thoritative government. Bo 'they. owe alle giance to their masters? Traitors, whom you are trying to kill, are incapable of re ceiving allegiance. Being outlaws, they are entitled to nothing by law. If you say they owe allegiance to the United States Govern ment, as they certainly do, then I ask, being relieved from all allegiance to the power that made them slaves, and owing allegiance only to the general government, which never made a slave, by what authority, by what.constitu tional rule can that gjvernment.reduce these millions of freemen and loyal subjects to slavery ? Congress never can do it—never will dare allow it to be done. On the contra ry i the general authorities must proclaim to them ‘ free wo find you, free we leave you.' The people of' the free States will never con sent to the restoration of sjavery to its. for mer ■ status. Political hacks, office-seeking demagogues might allow it, but the people never.” * In enunciating this horrible doctrine, the Senator is but re-echoing the views and sen timents of that high priest of Abolitionism, Charles Sumner, who, I verily believe, has done as much as any one man living to bring the present desolation and ruin upon our un happy country. The resolutions offered by Mr. Sumner, in the Senate of the U. States are the basis of the Senator’s views. Mr. Speaker, last Thursday evening a meeting was held at the Cooper ‘institute, in the city, of New York, to endorse and ratify those res olutions of Charles Sumner. For the benefit of the Senator from Bradford, and in order to show to him what “men in high places" think of the plan of Charles Sumner, which the Senator from Bradford endorses and sun ports, I will read to him extracts from a letter of Montgomery Blair, the Postmaster Gen eral under Mr. Lincoln, addressed to that meeting: “I. do not concur in the proposition that certain States have been recently 1 overturn ed and wholly subverted as members of the I ederal Union,’ upon which the call is based this is in’ substance, what the Confederates themselves claim-; and the fact that secession m mamtamod by the authors of this call, for a different purpose, does not niako it more constitutional, or prevent them from heinq actual aiders and abettors aj the Confederates. . No one who knows my political career, will suspect that my condemnation of this doctrine is influenced by any indisposition to put an end to slavery. I have left n ,r> £ US AN T D abettohs of of others elsewhere and 77 I ° f oeo luon ’ declare that emancipation is th° n • 10ro ’., who ject of this war! So saT i $ mm a " d ex claim you, one and nlh “ actual ° i 1 pro ; abettors of the Confederates" Au o moTm avoid or escape the conclusion, if you P caTl Out of the mouth oi one of your own loaders I condemn:you: “aiders and abottorsof the Confederates,” in thd letter of Montgomery Blair, Postmaster General of the U. States, . under- Abraham Lincoln I Z fear, Mr, Speaker, I have already tf'es* passed upan the patience of the Senate long er than I should; but. the -vast extent of the subjecti the interest attached to it, and the momentous results flowing from it are my excuse. I would have preferred that some one more able and prepared had performed the duty assigned mb. In disbharging it, I have had but one object in view* which was to direct the mind of sach Senator to the true considerations involved in the resolutions be fore us. I have endeavored to show what was our duty, not as Nprthorn men, not as Souths ern men, but as national men ; as men, who, im‘this storm and darkness, with the lurid ;iaro of danger, and destruction casting its baietul gleams around and about us, should cling to the .Constitution of ourfathers as our only pillar of safety-—our ark of refuge.— » wherever it leads I hfo, family, property—with all that is near and dear to me; feeling that m so doing I* am performing the part of a true patriot and a Christian.
