"The Bayonet Must Not, Shall Not, control tne Ballot." SPEECH OF Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn, OF KENTUCKY. Delivered In f Ae House of llepre senlalire; Tdurodat, April 3, 1879. The House Bering sndsr eon.lderatloa ths bill (U. R. No. 1), matini approprlatlona for the sup port of the Army for the Oscel yearndiu Jane 10, 1080, and for other pnrposss Mr. BLACKBURN naid: Mr. CtiAi&MAn, 1 trust that in what 1 may liavo to submit fur the consider- alion of thin committee I shall in no wise derogate from, or lower, the plane v. miruuBOj biiq uillliy Willi WII1CD, in the main, this discussion has been con ducted by my colleagues on this tido ol the Chamber. I trust that no ut terance of mi no will givo color to the charge that in my judgment any aoc tionai question ia involved in the con sideration ol the issue before this oom mittee. I do not intend, air, to bo personal in anything that I may say. There has como from different members tf the other aide of the House during Una de bat o that, which in my judgment, re quires and morits notice, and I shall go back, before I shall have finished, ooveral days to roply as best I may to the points that have been made bv the distinguished gentleman from Ohio, I mr uarneiti. 1 take it. sir. that no body ia aurnnsed at the annearance of me nonorauie gontioman Irom JNow Jersey Mr. Robeson. This man Kobeson, w ho is now a mem ber of Con- rcss from Now Jersey, was Grant's ecrotary ol the Navy, and was sharp enough to escape impeachment, when nis uromor War Secretary, lielknan. went undor and was disgraced ; and if uoocson naa uis ust dues, bo would bo serving a term in the penitentiary in stead ol in Congress. Ed. iisp. who last occupied the floor. This debate would not have been complete, or fairly rounded out, unless some momber of the privy council of that imperialistic dynasty, under whoso administration theso very vicious practicos grow op, which it is now sought by this amend ment to repeal, should havo appeared upon this floor to testify in their be half. It is charged, sir, not that the amend ment under consideration, involves of it self an unconstitutional piece of legisla tion, but, it is urged by various distin guished members on this floor that it is revolutionary in ilscharac tor; that it has no proper place on an appropriation bill; that it is out of line, and dosorvos tbo condemnation of the House because it is an exotic in this connection and should have been considered as an in dependent bill. It is charged further that the tondoncy and operation ot it will be to restrict the powor ef the President as Commander-in-Chiof of a,u.i .r.L. u-i..a a...... . Now, Mr. Chairman, he is but a poor student of this country's history who is not able to satisly tiimaell that Irom the very formation of tho Fed oral Con stitution down to tho present time it has ever been held, and that by tho highest authorities of the land and never suc cessfully denied, that it was a power not only ol the American uongress but a power of this House to control the employment of the Army by a with holding ol supplies. Tbedebatesunon tbolormationoi tne Federal Constitution, which lio before me, show that the brightest intellects assembled in tbat convention asserted this doctrine in its broadest torms and no man dared gainiay it It is one ot those features of English liberty that come down to us by adoption. It was so stated in the debates upon tho formation of this instrument, as givon to us, that it is ever and always has been in the power of the llouso of Kopresontalives, by copying mo exam ple of the House of Commons of En gland in withholding supplies, to con trol absolutely the employment and conduct of tho Army. You may fol low that thoory down at short inter vals, and in 1819 when an Army ap propriation bill was considered and passed in mis unaraDer anu it was pro posed to restrict the power of the Pres ident by specifying tho purposes to which the appropriations should bo ap plied, the very same argument was mado against it thon that our friends upon tho other sido hurl ugainst us now. It was upon that occasion that Mr. Mercer, one of tho brightest among the law-makers of tho (iovernmont ot his day, asserted upon this floor, with out encountering contradiction, that it was in ths power of the House of Rep resentatives to withhold supplies alto gether lor the maintenance of the Army it, indoed, that should become necessary to control its oporation. It was then that one whose patriotism has never yet been questioned, though it has survived through ths greater portion of ft lading century only to grow brighter as the ages go by it was thon that not only K entucky'a, but American's great commoner, Mr. Clay, declared in Lis burning words of elo- quenco, uttered where we now ait, that be was roaay to marto vne issue who ths Exocutivs and offer him ft bill with the objectionable features incorporated in it. and to aay to the Executive : "Sign,orrefuaetosign it; but if you do refuse to do it, declaring mat wo nave not the Dower to pass it, then my an swer to you shall be, neither has lbs Executive tho powor that you arrogate to Yourself." And you may comedown from thon till now, and never in ths history of this Government has It been denied tbat the Constitution itself, which givHS to Congress the right to pas these money bills to provide means lor the support and maintenance of ft military establishment, carrion with it tho resultant right on the part of Con oross to withhold those appropriation! when in its judgment it is necessary to prevent abuses in the employment of ths military. In tho very nature of things this proposed smcntlmcnt of ths law cannot be revolutionary. It is ft repealing stat ute) its only purpose and object ia to repeal an existing law. 1 win not now pause to toll how or under what cir cumstances it was passed; 1 will not now pause to doolineate the motives which, in a rrreat measure, because ot the pro- valence ol natural passions, inspired, if they did not excase, the passage of this Isw. But In ths very nsturo of thinira this amendmonl csnnot be rev olulionarv. Nonative legislation is never revolutionary. This is not affirm ativs legislation, twist ths iasus as the gentleman from Now Jorsov Mr. Robeson may seek to do. Buckle, the most philoeophio ol all historians either asclont or modern, has told ua that ths s talesman and ths law maker seldom, il ever, rendors s benefit to mankind by the enactment of affirmative lawo ; that it is rather by the repealing of obnoxious and violoua enactments that he entitles himself to the gratitude ol humanity. As I have said, this measure is in its very nature anything but revolutions, ry. Will it be olaimed is there a con tleman upon that side of this Chambor who will undertake to claim tbat h reason of any provisions of the Fed eral Constitution the President now holds the power of which this amend ment proposes to deprive him ? Is thero a man loft in the House on either sido who, attor the clear and logical presentation or ths issuo made a fow days since by my colleague from Ren tucky, Mr. Carisle, will undertake to assert tbat there wss any such power on tho part of the Exocutive prior to the act ol Uongress ot 1795 I Sir, if the utmost be granted, if it be admitted instead of being denied, as we deny it, that this power was originally nom oy mo rresident, it was beld by reason of a congressional statute, and ot necessity the authority passing that statute and conferring that power must De domed Willi equal authority to repeal it. 1 he Constitution dooa not givo to the Prosidont tho right to send the armod forces of this Government into any State even to suppress domestic violence ; by no means. It gives the right to the President of his own mo tion, it goes further and requiros hira, to protect each Stato from invasion by tho employment of the military power. But it only confers upon him tbo autho rity to send tho armed soldiers of this Government into a State to suppress do moatio violence when tho Legislature of that State, or its governor, the Leg islature not being convened, shall make a requisition upon him. Ho is not to proceed upon apprehen sion ; he is not permitted to anticipate domestic violence. Neither ho nor the exocutive of the State nor its Legisla ture are permitted to exorcise such an ticipation. It must be upon pre-existing stato of things, ilomostio vio lence must exist, and that laot must bo certified by tho Legislature ot tho State whose peace is disturbed, or when tbat Legislature may not be con vened, then by the chief executive of that Commonwealth. The President ot tho United States is the rocipiont of no power of impli cation. Thero is not a prerogative that no bolds winch is not clearly deuned and clearly limited by the provisions of our organic law. That Constitution has mado this Uongress, In exprcsa terms by positive provision, the grand reservoir into which all powers ol Im plication flow. No. sir; this amendment cannot, in the very nature ot things, contemplate revolutionary action. But, it is said, that it ia nut in its proper plaoo whon ingraftod npon an appropriation bill. Is thero a gentlo man in this Chamber who will Jars to take issue with ms upon the assertion and I make it measuring the full im port of my words alter a oaroful exam ination of the statutes that more than one-third of the permanent legislation this Government, as it stands upon the statute-books, of your country to day, has boon put tlioro as riders upon Army appropriation bills ? 1 do not care to trench uoon the pa tience of this committee by any elabor ate review of the countless instances which that side of the House have furnishad ua in ths shape of the pre cedents for ths action that we take. Sir, if lectures npon revolution are to be road to us, lot them come from some momber who is not himself oonvicted oft tbs record. Tho gontloman from Ohio Mr. Gar field told us tbat this was an effort, an unmanly effort, to starve the Govern ment to death, lie contrasted it witn hat he termed the bolder and braver action oi certain mom hers of Congress in 1801, when they loft their seats in tbess two Chambers and carried their issue to tho field of carnage. He tolls us that this is revolution, and he de nounces any effort we make to adopt it. Mr. Ubairman, Donor would it nave beon for ths people of this land if tbo well-earned power ot the distinguished gentleman from Ohio had bcon employ ed at an early period of bis political history in averting, denouncing, and opposing revolutionary legislation. Does me gontloman remomnerine rec ord that ho mado in 1865 upon an amendment offorod by Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, proposing to revolutionize tne judicial systojiv of his country, propos ing to roD a co-oruinaie Dranun oi me Government, and that, too, tho lost barrior behind which tho liberty of the citiion finds sholtor, proposing to strip tho .Hopromo Court of the United Stales of the prerogative and powor with which the Federal Constitution has clothed it? Does ho rcmombor ths record he mado when Mr. Wilsons amendment, which roads as follows, was offered ! "Frotiiii, however, That if any cir cuit or district court ot tho united States shall adjudgs any act of Con gress to be unconstitutional or Invalid, tbo judgmont. before any olhor pro csodinir shall be bad npon it, shall be certified up to tho Supremo Court of tho UniUd States, and shall Do consid ered therein, and il upon the consider- ation thereof two-thirds or all the mem bers of the SuDrome Court shall not affirm said judgment bolow, the samo shall bo declared and held reversod." Upon tbs oall of ths yeas and nays the gentleman from Ohio is found vot ing "ay ;" and tbon that amendment was passed through tbia House by ths aid of that trentleman's vote. That court then consisted of eight judges ; and undor ths bill it required six ot the Supremo Conrt judges, moro than a quorum, to affirm tho opinion ol a dis trict or curcuit Fodoral court declaring unconstitutional one of the gentleman's own ill-advised, hasty, crude, if not parlissn measures, llore, sir, I Dog the attention of ths committee for a minute. A district federal judgt niiuht hold one of theso hasty laws on- constitutional ; upon appeal ths circuit Federal judge might affirm that de cision. What then? Ths United States district attorney might concur in the judgment rendered. No appeal might be asked. But uador the act, which received the support of the gentleman from Ohio, it bocame absolutely imper ative to certify ths record without ap peal (nobody complaining) to ins ou proms Court of the Unitod States, And then what? Under ths law s majority of that court constituted a ?norum. r ive at ft majority oi eignt. 'ivs of those Supreme Court judges, clothed in thoir spotless ermine, might be npon ths bench. All five of them might, by unanimoas concurrent ac tion, declare that ths two lower judg ments were correct, and yet that law was to be beld, under ths bill which ths gentleman supported, constitution!! and valid. Revolution I What is there (before I get through 1 will ask this committe to Ull me) that the party the gentleman so ably leads bss not dons in tbat direction r But, sir, this is not all. The gentle man from Ohio in that effestive and able speech to which be treated this House a few days ago used the follow ing language, which 1 read from the Record : "In opening: tho debate, I challenge all comers to show single instance in our history wbore this consent has been coerced." What consent? The oonsont of the Executive by extraneous matter inject ed into appropriation billa. "This ia the groat, tho paramount issue, which dwarfs all others into in significance." I accept tho gags of battle that the gentleman throws down. I read from the records and show him the instanco he seeks. I find that on the 2d day ot March, 18U7, ft thing occurred in this House of which the gentleman should have been cognizant, for be was thon aa now- An bouotod meuL on this floor. I find the following message was sent by the then f resident ot the United Slatos to the Houso ot Repre sentatives : To the House of Representatives : "Tho act entitled 'An aot making appropriations for the support ot the Army Ah, by singular coincidence that too was an Army bill, just as this is. "Tbo act entitled 'An act making appriations for the support of the Army for tho year ending J une 30, 186S, and for other purposes, contains provisions to which I must call attention. Those provisions are contained in the second Boclion which in certain cases virtually deprives the President of bis constitu tional functions ss Commandor-io-Chiof of the Army, and in the sixth section which denios to ton Slatos of Uis Un ion thoir constitutional right to protect themselves in any emergency by means of. thoir own militia. Those provi sions aro out of place in an appropria tion act. Bid tho gentleman from Ohio bor row bis recently used protoit from tbis official prolost of tho Exocutive of tbo country f "ibose provisions are oulot place in an appropriation aot. I am compelled to defeat theso necessary appropria tions if I withhold my signature to the act. Pressed by these considerations" 1 grunt you, ho does not say "co erced " "Pressed by those considerations, I feel constrained to return the bill with my signaturo, hut accompany it with my protest against tbo suction which I have indicated." March 2, 1807. Andbew Johnson. Is there no coercion thero? Whv. sir, the record is full. In an act mak ing appropriations for the sundry civil exponsos of this Government for the year ending June 30, 180s, it was pro vided that in the courts of tho United Statos there should be no exclusion of any witness on account of color, or in any otber civil action Decause lie is t party interested in the issue to bo triod. Is not that extraneous matter ? Yot upon this bill ths record shows that gentleman from Ohio Is found voting n ino imi. in a..- But, sir, worse than all this, I find that on ft momorable occasion in the Thirty-ninth Congress, of which the gentleman from Ohio was likewise a momber, that occurred which will nov er fade from the minds ot the Amorioan fieople. I refer to tho proceedings ooking to the impeachment of the Chiof Executive of this Ropublic, which came eo nigh resulting in conviction. On that occasion 1 find that a colleague of the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Ash ley, moved to suspend me ruies to al low him to make a report from the Committoeon what? Judiciary? No, sir. From the Committee on Terri tories, in the nature of a resolution im peaching ths President of the Ameri can Government for high crimes and misdemeanors. On the yea-aud-nay vote I find the gontloman from Ohio votod "ay." And 1 nnd lurtber, sir, the counts npon which those impeachment arti cles were predicated, and I beg to call tho attontion oi turn committee to tbnm. Mr. Ashley said : "I do impeach Andrew Johnson, Vice-President and acting President of tho Unitod states, of high crimes and and misdemeanors." "Charge him with the usurpation of power and violation of law" And now come tho nvo counts in mo indictment, and I bog tho careful at tontion of tbis committee, for 1 will bring it homo to the very issuo that the gentleman from Ohio has courted in tins contest. "In that bo has corruptly used tho appointing powor." . I put the gontloman on his candor and submit to him to say whether ho ever intended to impeach the President for that? Tho country knows be did not That appointing powur bad not been wielded in such a way as to merit the censuro of the gontloman himself. , "Secondly, in that ho has oorruptly used tho pardoning powor." 1 Did the gontloman from Ohio moan to impeach him for that ? I will an swer for him, no. Everybody knows be did not. , "Thirdly, in that he has corruptly usod the veto powor." ' And lliero was wnore liioBiingcamo in. it was tno exorcise oi mat consti tutional prerogative, it was tbo em ployment of the veto power, for which the Houso and the gontloman from Ohio voted these artiolos of impeach ment, coupled with one other offense only. . "Fourthly, in that ho has corruptly disposod of the puhlio proporty of tho Unitod Htatoo. 1 That was a moro formal count in the indictment, and I doubt not that the gvntlcman from Ohio will admit it. "Fifthly, in that ho has corruptly interfered " In what? ' "in the elections and did acts which in contemplation of tho Constitution are high crimes and misdemeanors." ; There were but two counts in that indictment upon which it was propos ed to impeach the Executive ; it was ths exercise of the veto power and it waa bis ihtorforenco, not in elections, but bis Interference to prevent tho in trterence of the armed power of this Government in tho elections of this country. Was the denunciation still ringing In tbat gentleman's ears which the thon President bad employed in his interview with General Emory, de nouncing aa subversive ot all the prin oinles of free irovernmeiit the interfer ence of ths military with ths right of suffrage at ths polls? But, Mr. Chsirman, these counts in this indiotment were) voted on more than ones. Ths gentleman from Ohio is recorded every tims as voting In their favor. And may I be permitted to remind this'commilteo that the rec ord of that Congress shows that he was supported in his action, that he had standing try mm, voting side Dy sida with bim to impsach ths Prosi dont for tbs legitimat sxoroiss of ths veto power, ons who was the com REPUBLICAN. paratively obscure and who but for s combination ot accidents would have remained to this day and until bis dy ing day in that obscurity for which nature and his Creator scorned so de signedly to have fitted him that side by sido with tbs gentleman from Ohio stood and voted Mr. Rutberlord B. Uayos, with whose prospective veto we are mreatcned. Applause and laughter. Now, sir, I beg you to tell mo Dy what rule of consistency does the gentleman from Uliio come upon this floor to flaunt in tho faoe of an American Congress an anticipated ex- erciso by this .Executive of bis veto when bo and tbat JSxocutivo both stand committed upon the record to voto for his impeschmcnt if be dares to omploy it ? And whilo I am at this point 1 might ask by what soit ot authority oither tbat gontloman or any other comes npon this floor to threaten us with tho probable or possible action ot tbat Ex ecutive at all ? What provision of tho Federal Constitution, what law onnot- ed by any preceding Congress under takes to clotbo anybody, oither that Prosidont himself or one of his privy council, evon including bis premier, the Secretary of State, to sit as he did on the floor of this Chambor on Satur day of lust week and by bis presence and his indications of approval sock to intimidttto, overawe, Cries ot "Oh I" on the Republican side and browbeat an American Congross? Who com missioned tho gentleman from Ohio to toll ua tbat wo bad best be careful bo- cause the issuo was made and the Ex ecutive would not be coerced into a message of approval ? Mr. Chairman, I am advised that thirty minutes of the hour allowed me nave expired and the remaining por tion ot my hour 1 am compelled by agreement to yield to my friend Irom Louisiana, Mr, Uibson.j Mr. GAKFIEL1). I hopo the gen tleman will not be cut off. Mr. HUNTON. I move the time of tho gontloman bo extended. Cries of "Go on!" from both sides of the House. The CUAlilMAN. Thoro is no ob jection, and tho gentleman will pro ceed. Mr. BLACKBURN. Then, Mr. Chairman, I thank the Houso for its kindnoss. I would ask, docs tbo gon tloman from Ohio, or does any olhor gentleman, put so low an estimate up on the sclf-rospcct, tho integrity, tho courage, and tho manhood ot this House, without regard to party, as to believe that snoh a treat so flaunted is to intimidate the law-making branch of this Government to shape its action on measures of legislation? I cannot think that we are measured by so short a standard. But, sir, 1 am not through with the speech which tho gentleman has made. He tolls us : The proposition now Is, that after fourteen years have passed, and not one petition from one Amorican citizen has como to us asking that this law be repealed ; while not one memorial has lonnrt it wai c dMlra mmr-lajnino of the law, as tar as 1 have heard, the Democratio Houso of Representatives holds tbat if they are not permittod to force upon another House and upon the Executive against their consent the repeal of ft law that Democrats made, tbis refusal sbal be considered a sufficient ground for starving this Gov ernment to death. This is tho prop osition which we denounce aa revolu tion." And that was roeoivefl with applause on the Republican aide. Does tho gentleman from Ohio moan to stand upon that declaration ? By that significant nod he says that ho docs. Dooa be not know that the Con gross just expired bore upon its files potition after petition, memorial after memorial, in contested-election cases, sent by the Houso to its committeo, prolestiug sgainst tho presence ot the military ot the polls and denouncing ths usurpation, demanding its ropoal, in order tbat a Iroo ballot might bo had? Docs tho genlloman tail to re member that the State of Louisiana, a aovoreign State of this confederacy once moro, thank God, sent her me morial to tbeso Halls, in wbicb in thunder tones she uttered hor anathe mas against the very practice which this amendment Books to correct ? But that gentleman did moro : ho went further and, if possible, ho did worso. 1 moan to deal in exact fair ness. I oven mean to bo liberal in the construction 1 put upon his utterances. Air. Uhairman, it is generally true that tho gravo suffices to silence the tongno ot detraction, ft is not often that its darkened portals are invaded to pronounco severe criticism, even though richly deserved, if it is to be pronouncod upon the dead. But the gontloman from Ohio, forgetting him self in his speech on last Saturday, for got also to observe mis manly and magnanimous rulo. By that speech he certainly must have sought, or, if not Booking, he was unlortotmto in produc ing the impression that a distinguish ed doad Senator from the State of Kentucky had intioduccd into tho Federal State Chamber tho bill which we by this amendment seek to repeal, and to sond his namo down to posteri ty to bo blasted by tbo act, if indeed he had performed it, and that charge to rest upon that gentleman's own high authority. I hold in my hand the very bill, No. 37, which was introduced np on tho &th of January, 1804, by Sona- tor 1'owcll, ol Kentucky.- I bore lies before mo on my desk tho manly, statesmanlike, and patriotic, bold ut terances tnai ue uunvereu in lue snape of speoch npon the consideration ol that bill. I challenge tho gentleman to find within tho'limits sf this meas ure a singlo, solitary provision, line, sontenco, word, or syllablo that this amendment seeks to repeal. Dooa not ths gentleman know if bo does not, it is bis fault that tho amendment incorporated upon this bill which ws now sock to repeal was in corporated and ingraftod npon it, not when ths Senate was in Committee of tbo Wbolo, but in open Sonato, upon motion ot benator 1 omeroy, and when tbo vols was taken upon tbat amend ment oy yeas and nays, every solitary Democrat in that Chamber voted against it and put ths seal of his con demnation upon It, Mr. rowcll among the number? Hera stands Senator Powell's utterance, in which he ex plains bow and why it was that the Democratio members in that body and this body at last accepted this as the best tbat could be bad ; notwithstand ing, against their protest, the ingraft ing of ths Pomoroy amendment, be cause it was to be taken in lieu ot what they charged was true, of what the President of the United Statos in an official communication toCongress had declared to be true, that in tho absence of even ths limitations that amonded bill would give, tbs military authon ties and officers of tbo Government bad arrogated to themselves ths power in all the lately seceding Statos of declar ing what should bo the qualification to hold office. It was as the least often sivo of two offensive alternatives. It was not candid, it was not fair; ths record rebukes the genlloman for seek ing to place a dead statesman in such a falso position. But, Mr. Chairman, it is useless to follow these things further. It is not. sir, for ms to waste the tims and trench upon the patience of this com mittoo by following out 'the torgiver- .1 L. il.L .1.- T i?i: ottLiun luruugu wuiua luu Avuuuuiican party has wounded itself to mis high f ilana of protest against revolutionary ogislation. Why, sir, ths gontloman from Ohio, in 1872, mado a speoch upon tbis floor wbicb be will not deny. It was, as is always tho caso with bis efforts, an adroit as well as an able speoch. In that ho declared that the minority to which wo tbon belongod, but in which in God's providence we are no longer found ho declared that the millOrlLV SSlg guilty- tion. For what? Because they in sisted that extraneous matter should not be put upon appropriation bills. He suid that was revolution. Laugh tor and applause. We took him at his word, and uow whoro does he stand ? It was revolution then to re sist tho injection of oxtranoous matter ovor the protest of the majority. It is revolution now for the majority to resist that same protest of that minor ity ; but in tho ono case it was his sido protesting, in the other caso it was ours. Ah, Mr. Chairman, let one take tbo darkoned pages of his country's histo ry for the last seventeen long years and read it carefully, and tell mo then whethor it lies in tho mouth of tbat worthy loader of ft onoe gicat but waning parly to read lectures to anybody, cither upon tho score of revolutionary legislation of extraneous introductions into appro priation bills. Botler tar in tho face of the record that they have made, bettor to listen patiently to the con firmed inebriate as ho dilutes upon the virtues of temperance, better let tho queen of the demi-monde elaborate tho beauties of female virtue, or let the devil prato of tho echome of universal redemption, than for homilies upon good morals aud lectures upon revolu tionary legislation to bo delivered from such a source. AppltiUHC and luugh ter.1 jhoro ia but one issuo here, and I insist that neither this House nor tbo people of this counlry shall bo allowed to wander from it. It is but this, and nothing more: whether tho military powor shall bs allowed at your polls ; wbolber tbe elections sball bo guarded by the mailed hand of military powor; whether the ballot-box, the last and safest shield of the freeman's libortios, shall be turned over to tho tender mer cies of the armies of your land. Or, to state it yet more torsely and proba bly more fairly, it is simply whether tho spirit and tbo genius of this Gov ernment shall bo rovorscd, and whethor tho civil shall bo mado subordinate to tho military powor. V by, sir, among tbe most lavorod, u uiw. ilousubfl r - ... - - , ciplos ingrafted on our system of gov ernment from our old protolypo, the English people, is that provision which would not tolerate not only tho inter fcrencs but tho presence of tho milita ry at the polls. uver one hundred years ago an English statute declared tbo will of Englishmen upon this vital qnestion. I read the statute : "Be if enacted by tin Kings most ex cellent Majesty, by and icith ths advice and consent of the JUords, qiirttual ana temporal, and Commons in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That when and as often as any election of any peer or peers to represent tho peer ot Scotland in i ar liamont, or any member or members to servo in Parliament, shall be appointed to be mado, tho becretury at War tor tho time being, or in caso thero shall bo no Secretary at War, thon inch por- snn who shall officials in the place of the Secretary at .Var, snail, and is hereby required, at somo convenient time before the day appointed for such election, to issuo and send forth proper orders, in writing, for tho removal of every such rogimont, troop, or compa ny, or otber number ot soldiers as shall bo quartered or biilotod in any such city, borough, town, or place whore Biicb election shall be appointed to bo made, out ot ovory Bucb city, borongb, town, or place, one day at least before the day appointed for such election, to tho distance of two or moro miles from such city, borough, town, or place, as aforesaid, until ono day at the least af ter the poll to bo taken at such elec tion shall be ondod and tho poll-bo: ks closed." Statute Utorge 11. . From that time till now I do declare that it is not within the power of any man to find ft single scion of tho Saxon race that has not beld in utter abhor rence tho efforts of him or tbom who sought to control ths freedom of the ballot by tbo employment ol tho mili tary powor. f Applauso.l . ' Tho very Army of tbis oounlry pro tests against such a prostitution ot its service. I seo before mo the justly distin guished Gcnorul in-Chief of our Army, and I no believe that 1 overstuls tbo fact when 1 say that from bim down to the private in tho ranks it la diffi cult to find ono who has not recoiled from this service which they havo been called upon to rendor. Applause. it w this question, and it- Is none other, that 1 insist shall bo kcpl before this 11 on so. V o are declaring that the ballot shall bo freo. We are denying it is either constitutional, legal, just, fair, Or decent, to subject thsovoreign to tho surveillance of the soldier. , , , Now, upon that issuo tho gentleman from Ohio and his associates toll us that they stand committed. 1 answer so do we. We are willing to discuss it, and for my part I shall oppose any limitation being put upon this debate If we cannot slaud uiaa.Avn issue bo broad, so constitutional, so catholie, so fair, so free s this, then tell mo in Heaven s name whoro aro tbe battle ments strong enough for us to get bo bind? Lot it go to the country that ons party assorts that tbo manacles shall tall front ths limits of the cilison, and tbat tho Army shall not bold its mailed band at the throat oi the sov ereign, and that tho other party re fuses to release ths throttling grasp, and doclares tbat it will block ths whools of ths govornrnent and bring it to atarvation. I am willing, and those with whom I aland aro willing, to accopt thia Is sue, and ws go further, we tender IL We are tbe ones to make the issue snd wo aro rcadv for von to aoccpt it. Planting ourselves upon this broad ground, we welcome controversy. Ws seek no auarrol with you, but tor the first time in sightees, years past ths Democracy are back in power in both branches of tho Legislature, and she proposes to signalize her return to powor; shs proposes to oslsbrats her recovery of her long-lost heritage by tearing off these degrading badges qS buiviiuuu auu uumruyiug luo pmcuin- ery of ft corrupt and partisan legisla tion. Ws do not intend to stop until we havo stricken tho lost vestige of your war measures from the atatule-book, which like these were born of tho fiassions incident to civil strifo and ooked alone to the abridgment of tho liberty ot tbe citizen. We demand an untrammolod elec tion ; no supervising of the ballot by tho Army. Freo, absolutely free right to tho citizen in tbe deposit of bis bal lot aa a condition precedent to tbe pas sage of your bills. Now, sir, if the gentleman from Ohio is to be exc used, tor sure he cannot be justified, if he is to be excused for jia- rauing oeiore mis House the throat, tbo arr-umenfuw fn terrorem of a veto that would have us believe is already out ArUA tn ha nlsrwri nnon a bill tbat ia not yet passed ; if ho is to bo par doned for warning this Houso that tho executive branch of this Government will never yield its assent to thla mess ura in its presont Ibrm, may ' 1 not bo warranted and justified in employing equal candor, and may 1 not assure that genlloman and his as sociates that the dominant party of this Congress, ths ruling element of tbis body, -ia also equally determined that until their just demands aro satis fied, demands sanctioned by all laws human snd divino, protected and hedg ed around by precedents without num ber, domanded by tho peoplo ot this land without regard to section, who aro clamoring for a tree, untrammolod ballot (not for tbo South, I beg you to remember, for if there be seetionality in this issuo I cannot discover it;) for Philadelphia rts well as for Now Or leans, for San Francisco and Boston as well as for Charleston and Savannah that this side of the Chamber, which has demonstrated its power, nevor moans to yield or surrender until this Congress shall have died by virluo of its limitation. Applause on the Dem ocratic sido. We will not yield. A prin ciple cannot bo compromised. It may bo surrendered ; but that can only be dono by its advocates giving proof to tho world that they are cravens and cowards, lacking tho courage ot thoir own conviction. Wo cannot yield and will not eurrondor. Lot mo assure my friend, and it is a picture that 1 know he docs not dwell upon with pleasure, that this is tho restoration to power of a party as old as our Govornrnent itself, which for almost a hundred years has stood tho boldest, fairest, freest exponont and champion and defender of the doctrine of constitutional limitations against tho doctrine of ths sggrandizement of power. It is this organization tbat has como back to rulo, that moans to rulo in obedionce to law. Now, sir, the issue is laid down, ths gago of battle is delivered. Lift it when you please ; we are willing to appeal to tbat sovereign arbiter tbat the gon tloman bo handsomely lauded, the American people, to decide betwoon us. tend to tleny to tLTPrestSenf oTItus Republio the right to exercise such un constitutional power.
