HENRY CLAY ON SECESSION AND
-ITS RESULTS.
EXTRACT FROM HIS COMPROMISE SPEECH
IN THE SENATE IN 1850.
In the United States Senate, on February
sth and 6th, 1850; Hon. Henry Clay made a
long speech on taking up his Compromise re
solutions on the subject of slavery. After
speaking of the change of policy by the South
on the subject of the tariff, the Bank of the
United States and of • the acquiesence of the
North in their demands, of the admission of
Missouri A tuad of the quiet and unobstructed ac
quisition of new slave territory in Louisiana,
Florida and Texas—the great Kentuckian.con
eluded his speech as follows : '
cgAnd here, in the case of a war made essen
tially by the South—growing out of the an
nexation of Texas, which was a measure pro
posed by the South in the councils of the
country, and which led to the war with - Mexico
—I do not say all of the South, bat the major
portion of the South pressed the annexation of
Texas upon the country—that measure, as I
have said, led to the war with Mexico, and the
war with Mexico led to the acquisition of those
territories which now constitute the bone of
contention between the different members of
the Confederacy. And now, sir, for the first
time after the three great acquisitions of Texas,
Florida, and Louisiana have been made and
have redounded to the benefit of the South—
now, for the first time, when three territories
are attempted to be introduced without the in
stitution of slavery, I put it to the hearts of my
countrymen of the South, if it is right to press
matters to the disastrous consequences which
have beet indicated no longer ago than this
veil malting, on the occasion of the presenta
tion of certain resolutions—even extending to
a dissolution of the Union. Mr. President, I
cannot believe it.
“I think I can begin to see land. I shall
soon come to the conclusion of what I have to
say. Such is the Union, and such are the
glorious fruits which are now threatened with
subversion and destruction; Well, sir, the first
question which naturally arises, is, supposing
the Union to be dissolved for any of the causes
or grievances which are complained of, how
far will dissolution furnish a remedy for those
grievances? If the Union is to be dissolved
for any existing cause, it will be because
slavery is interdicted or not allowed to be
introduced into the ceded territories.
or because slavery is threatened to bO
0911,5144 4 tho Diatricti gr 091 44 .
_ .
bia ; or because fugitive slaves are not re
stored, as in my opinion they ought to be, to
their masters. These, I believe, would be the
causes, if there be any causes which can lead
to the dreadful event to which I have re
ferred: Let us suppose the Union dissolved;
what remedy does it, in a severed state, furnish
for the grievances complained of in its united
condition ? Will you be able at the South to
push slavery into the ceded territory, How
are you to do it, supposing the North, or all
the States north of the Potomac, in possession
of the Ivy and army of tbe United States?
Can you expect, I say, under these circum
stances, that if there is a_ dissolution of the
Unton can yon Carry slavery into California and
New Mexico ? 'Sir, you cannot dream of such
an occurrence.
cclf it were abolished in the . District of Co
lumbia and the Union were dissolved,would the
dissolution of the Union restore slavery in the
District of Columbia? Is your chance for the
recovery of your fugitive slaves safer in a state
of dissolution or of severance of the Union
than when in the Union itself? Why, sir, what
is the state of the fact? In the Union you lose
some slaves and recover others; but here let me
revert to a fact which I ought to have noticed
before, because it is highly creditable to the
courts and juries of the free States. In every
instance, as far as my information extends, in
which an appeal has been made to the courts of
justice to recover penalties from those who have
assisted in decoying slaves from their masters—
in every instance, as far as I have heard, the
court has asserted the tights of the owner, and
the jury has promptlyreturned an adequate ver
dict on his behalf. Well,sir,there is then some
remedy while you are a part of the Union for the
recovery of your slaves, and - some indemnifi
cation for their loss. What would y --- h - ave, if
the Union was severed ? Why, thda_the seve
ral parts would be independent of each other
—foreign countries—and escaping from one to
the other would be like slaves escaping from
the United States to Canada. There would be
no right of extradition, no right to demand
your slaves ; no right to appeal to the courts of
justice to indemnify.you for the lossqii your
slaves. Where one slave escapes now by run
ning away from his master, hundreds and
thousands would escape if the Union were dis
-severed—l care not, how or where you run the
line, or whether independent sovereignties be
established. Well, sir, finally, will you, in case
of a dissolution of the Union, be safer with
your slaves within the separated portions of
the States than ybu are now ? Mr. President,
that they will escape much more frequently
from the border States, no one will deny.
“And, sir, rmust take occasion here to say
that, in my opinion, there is no right on the
part of any one or more of the States to secede
from the Union. War and dissolution of the
Union are identical and inevitable, in my
opinion. There can be a dissolution of the
Union only by consent or by war. Consent no
one can anticipate, from any existing_state of
things, is likely to be given, and war is the only
alternative by which a dissolution could be
accomplished. If consent were given—if it
were possible that we were to be separated by
one great line—in less than sixty days after
such consent was given war would break out
between the slaveholding and non-slaveholding
portions of this Unlon—between the two in
dependent parts into which it would be erected
in virtue of the act of separation. In less than
sixty days, I believe, our slaves from Kentucky,
flocking over in numbers to the other side of
the river, would be pursued by their owners.
Our hot and ardent spirits would be restrained
by no sense of the right which appertains to -
the independence of the other side of the river,
should that be the line of separation. They
would pursue their slaves into the adjacent free
States; they would be repelled, and the conse
quence would be that, in less than sixty days,
war would be blazing in every part of this now
happy and peaceful land. -
ccAnd, air, how are you going to separate the
States of this Confederacy? in my humble
opinion, Mr. President, we would begin with at
least three separate Confederacies. There
would be a Confederacy of the North, a Con
federacy of the Southern Atlantic Slaveholding
States, and a Confederacy of the valley, of the
Mississippi. My life upon it, that the vast
population which has already concentrated and
will concentrate on the head-waters and the
tributaries of the Mississippi will never give
their consent that the mouth of that river shall
be held subject to the power of any foreign
State or community whatever. Such, I
believe, would be the consequences of a disso
lution of the Union, immediately ensuing; but
other Confederacies would spring up from time
to time, as dissatisfaction and discontent were
disseminated throughout the country—the Con
federacy of the lakes, perhaps the Confederacy
of New England, or of the Middle States. Ah,
sir, the veil which covers these sad and dis
astrous events that lie yeyond it, is too thick
to be penetrated or lifted by any mortal eye or
hand.

“Mr. President,l am directly opposed to any
purpose, of secession or separation. I am for
staying within the Union, and defying any por
tion of this confederacy to expel me or drive
me out of the Union. lam for staying within
the Union and fighting for my rights, if neces
sary, with the sword, within the bounds and
under the safeguard of the Union. I am for
vindicating those rights, not by being driven
out of the Union harshly and unceremoniously
by any portion of this confederacy. Here I
am within it, and here I mean to stand and
die, as far as .my individual wishes or pur
poses can go—within it to protect my property
and defend myself, defying all the power on
earth to expel me or drive me from the situa
tion in which lam placed. And would there
not be more safety in fighting within the Union
than out of it ? • Suppose your rights to be
violated, suppose wrong to be done you, ag
gressions to be perpetrated upon you, can you
not better vindicate them—if you have occasion
to resort to the last necessity, the sword, for a
restoration of those rights---within, and with
the sympathies of a large portion of ? the_popti-•
lotion of the Union, than by being without the
Union, when a large portion of the population
have sympathies adverse to your own ? You
can vindicate your rights within the Union bet
ter than if expelled from the Union, and driven
from it without ceremony and without authority.
""Sir, I have said that I thoutht there was no
right on the part of one or more Stales to se
cede from the Union. I think so. The Con
stitution of the United States was made not
merely for the generation that then existed,but
for posterity—unlimited, undefined, endless,
perpetual posterity. And every State that
then came into the Union ' and every State that
has since come into the Union, came into it
binding itself, by indissoluble bands, to remain
within the Union itself, and to remain within it
by its posterity forever. Like another of the
sacred connections, in private life, it is a mar
riage which no human authority can dissolve or
divorce the parties from. And if I may be al
lowed to' refer to some examples in private life,
let me say to the North and the South, what
husband and wife say to each other: We have
mutual faults; neither of us is perfect; nothing
in the form of humanity is perfect;let us, then,
be kind to each other—forbearing, forgiving
each other's faults—and above all, let us live in
happiness and peace together.
- u Mr. President, I have said, what I solemnly ,
believe, that dissolution of - the Union and war
are identical and inevitable ; that they are con
vertible terms; and such a war as it would be,
following a dissolution of the Union! Sir, we
may search the pages of history, and none so
ferocious, so bloody, so implacable, so exter
minating—not even the wars of Greece, inch
ding those of the Commoners of England and
the revolutions of France—none, none of them
all would rage with such violence, or be char
acterized with subh bloodshed and enormities

Standing armies; and navies, to an extent
stretching the revenues of each portion of the
dissevered members, would take place. An
exterminating war would follow—not, sir, a war
of two or three years' duration, but a war of
interminable duration—and exterminating wars
would ensue, until, after the struggles and ex
haustion of both parties some Philip or Alex

and cut the Gordian knot, and solve the pro

the contest in which you would be engaged in
the suppotrition of war following upon the dis r

gested ; and I ask you if it is possible for you
to doubt that the final disposition of the whole
would be some despot treading down the liber
ties of the people—the final result would be the
extinction of this last and glorious light which
is leading all mankind, who are gazing upon it,
in the hope and anxious expectation that the
liberty which - prevails here will sooner or later
be diffused throughout the whole of the civil
ized world. Sir, can you lightly contemplate
these consequences f Can you yield yourself
to the tyranny of passion, amid dangers which
I have depicted in colors far too tame of what
the result would be if that direful event to
which I have referred should ever occur 7 Sir,

liberty—by all their veneration for their, ances

their gratitude to Him who has bestowed on
them such unnumbered and countless blessings

selves, to pause, solemnly to pause at the edge
Of the precipice,_ before the fearful and dan

return in safety. -
“Finally, Mr. President, and in conclusion, I
implore, as the best blessing which Heaven
can bestow upon me, upon earth, that if the
direful event of the dissolution of this Union
is to happen, 'shall not survive to behold the
sad and heart-rending spectacle.
HOW OUR SOLDIERS ARE PROVIDED FOR
We invite special attention to the following
article, carefully compiled from official docu
ments, showing how generously our soldiers
are provided for by the Government. Most
certainly every want of our brave soldiers
must be met by this abundant supply of the
Government and the supplemental supplies of
the various benevolent Associations:
The . medical supplies for the army are pur
chased by medical purveyors, at certain cen
tral points, and issued to surgeons in charge of
regiments, forts, garrisons, camps and hospi
tals, and to medical purveyors in the field for
redistribution. The great central depot for the
East is New York, where an immense_ware
house is filled with supplies of every descrip
tion, amounting to millions of dollars' worth,
ready for immediate use, in any emergency
that may arise. This department is under the
charge of Surgeon-R. S. Satterlee, U. S. Army,
an able antrapertenced officer. Medical sup
plies are issued on the requisition of medical
officers, approved by the Medical Director.
A small volume, called the cc Medical Supply
Table," is issued to all surgeons in the service,
and contains a full list of all medicines,stores,
luatnunents, bedding, dressings, furniture, and
appliances required for the comfort of the sick,
with the quantity of each article allowed for
the, six or twelve months, according to the
number of men to be treated. This table com
prises every importafit therapeutic agent now
employed by the medical profession and sanc
tioned by the United States Pharmacopoeias,
while they are of the very best quality, pur
chased from the most reliable druggists, or
manufactured by the most experienced grad
uates in pharmacy. The medical officer
making the requisition is not restricted to the
tables. Our own personal predilections can be
indulged in the choice of articles not on the
list, by stating the reasons for such preference.
Nor is the quantity allowed fixed; the assign
ment of a good reason is all that is required for
an additional allowance. So liberal is the De
partment, while at the same time guarding
against excessive and wasteful expenditure,that
upon any emergency,the ordinary requirements
regarding the formal requisition is unnecessary,
and a mere list of the articles required with the
signature of the medical officers, is deemed
sufficient to insure promptness in furnishing
them..
The Medical Supply Table comprises :
1. Medicines of every description, in snits.
ble convenient bottles and packages, for trans
portation. In the list of medicines, whiskey,
hie and brandy are included as remedies, not
as stores.
-
Instruments of every description, from
the best makers, for hospital, field and regi
mental service. •
3. Hospital stores hereafter enumerated, in
the diet furnished to sick and wounded sol
diers.
4. Dressings, herein partly enumerated, viz :
adhesive plaster, binders' boards, *cotton-bats,
wadding, wool flannel, gotta perca cloth, isin
glass, plaster, lint, patent, picked and scraped,
muslin, napkins, oakum, needles, thread, thim
bles, oiled muslin and silk, hair pencils, pins,
roller-bandages, green silk for shades, saddlers'
silk, splints, sponge,. suspendory bandages,
tape, cotton and woolen, linen thread, towels,
and twine.
The above list of dressings alone will exhibit
the general character of the supplies. Nothing
mole complete could be suggested.
Books and stationery, comprising works
on medical subjects, books for reports reepired
by regulations, and stationery of all kinds ne
cessary.
6. Beds and bedding of every description,
including air and water cushions.
7. Furniture and appliances of all kinds for
fitting and furnishing camps, regiments, posts,
and hospitals, comprising ninety-four articles.
There is also issued, in addition to the instru
ments above enumerated, sets to staff and regi
mental surgeons; medicine panniers, containing
medical supplies for detachments of troops in
transitu, and the hospital mess-chest, contain
ing the means for cooking in field service.
The army ration, provided by -law for daily
issue to each soldier, is larger than that issued
in any other army of the world—of the best
quality, and more than sufficient for the sub
sistence of the men.
The daily allowance per man is
12 oz. pork or bacon, or
20 oz. salt or fresh beef.
22 oz. fldur or soft bread, or
1 lb. bard bread, or
20 oz. corn meal.
15 lbs. peas or beans, and
10 lbs. rice or hominy to every 100 rations.
10 lbs. coffee, or ,
22 oz. tea to ever
100 rations
15 lbs. sugar,
4 qts. vinegar,
22 oz. candles,
4 lbs. soap,
To every I'oo rations.
3 lbs. 12 oz. salt
4 oz. pepper,
30 lbs. potatoes,
1 qt. molasses,
The above ration is due each soldier, and in
our large general hospitals, where it cannot be
consumed, the whole amount due all the sick
and wounded, each month, is passed to the
credit of the hospital money, and the portion
actually drawn from the issuing commissary
charged to the hospital, thus leaving to the
credit of thQ institution a /alp =91114 in
money, embject to-the payment of bills for the
purchase, of luxuries, on the requisition of the
surgeon in charge.
To.explain this more fully we will exhibit the
influence of the hospital fund system in one of
our large general hospitals of two thousand
beds. In such an establishment the number of
lull rations due the sick, (not including nurses,
attendants, employes, &c.,) is two thousand
per day and sixty thousand per month, which,
at the money value of twenty cents a ration,
will be credited to the hospital as $4OO per day
and $12,000 per month. The surgeon of course
draws such portion of these rations for daily
use, and the portion drawn only is then-charged
against the amount above mentioned, at the
cost price of such articles. The nature of the
diseases of the patients, however, precludes
the great consumption of pork or bacon , and
beans; and but a small proportion of the beef,
flour, rice, hominy, coffee, sugar, vinegar, pep
per, potatoes, salt, or molasses. The balance
then undrawn is passed to the credit of the
hospital in money, as above stated. The allow
ance of pork alone, for two thousand patients
for one month, would be credited at $4,600;
and it can be readily perceived how little of
this portion of the ration will be consumed by
the patients of a large hospital.
—From the, fund thus accruing, the surgeon
in charge can purchase any articles of 'food,
fluid or solid, as butter, fowls fruit, milk,
eggs &c., as he may require, as well as articles
used in the preparation of food or as forage for
cows, together with means of illumination, as
oil and gas.
%he surgeon in charge of a hospital never
touches a penny of this fund. The rations
undrawn remain undrawn in the storehouse of
the Commissary, who, having passed over thei
money value to the credit of the hospital, pur
chases the luxuries on the requisition of the
medical officer,, and deducts on his monthly
accounts, the amount paid from that which
was due.
But the hospital has other sources of supply
in addition to its fund. The baking of flour
into bread adds largely to it—the Government
providing a bakehouse in all instances. The
ration of flour increases one-third in weight in
baking, the same weight of bread being given
to the soldier as is due him by weight in flour.
Ten barrels of flour will yield in baking the
full allowance of bread, and have three barrels
and one-third surplus, which the Commissary
purchases, and passes the amount to the hos
pital credit. The hospital has also a source of
supply for extra use, in the sale of large quan
tities of fat and grease, which is called par ex
cellence, the slush fund.
It would be very natural to presume that the
above allowances, properly used and guarded,
would be sufficient for all purposes. But the
Government, exercising a wise liberality; has
still further added means to those mentioned
for the comfort of its sick and wounded. The
Medical Supply Table authorizes the issue, on
proper requisition, to all hcspitals, of barley,
extract of beef, cinnamon, cocoa, extract of
coffee, corn starch, farina, gelatine, ginger,
concentrated milk, nutmegs, pepper, porter,
white sugar, black tea, and tapioca; together
with whiskey, brandy, port, and Tarragona
wine.
The law of Congress approved Aug. 3,1868,
provides that there shall be allowed in hospitals,
under such regulations as the Surgeon-General
may - prescribe, such quantities of fresh or pre
served fruits, milk, or butter, or of eggs, as
may be necessary for the proper diet of the
sick.
Having shown how the soldier is fed and
cared for, professionally, when sick, it may be
well to state how he is clad when a patient in
hospital. The allowance to each soldier for
live years is as follows:
5 caps, 8 coats. 13 pair trowsers, 11 pair
drawers, 15 pair shirts, 20 pair stockings, 20
pair boots, I great coat, 2 stocks, 2 overalls.
When he wishes to draw more than the above
allowance, he can do so by paying for the extra
issue. "When he draws less than the allowance,
he is paid in money for the articles not drawn.
Clotbibg of every description is issued gratui
tously to all soldiers in hospital who have lost
theirs by unusual casualties of service. These
issues to the sick and wounded are very largs.
Gratuitous clothing is also issued where it has
been destroyed to prevent the contagion of
small-pox or other diseases of its class. But
this is not all. Clothing of a particular kind,
differing from - the uniform and suitable for the
patients, is kept in all hospitals, and furnished
by the Medical Department for issue to the sick
while inmates. This list on the Supply Table
comprises caps, drawers, gowns, shirts, slippers,
and socks.
The law approved July 5, 1803, provides $2,-
000,000 for those discharged soldiers, who,
from diseases or wounds contracted in service,
may arrive in the - principal cities unable to get
homes, and for forwarding them to their hbrues.
A SOUTH AMERICAN TRIBUTE TO WASH.
INGTON.
From the Frilera/istc, of the 22d of Feb
ruary, published in Cavacas, Republic of
Venezuela, we copy the following editorial
written by its proprietor, Dr. Felipe Larrazabal:
WASHINGTON
On this day, the 22d of February, the Ameri
can patriots commemerate the birthday of
George Washington, who was welcomed to the
world in 1732, in the little village of Bridge
Creek, Virginia. - Washington is, unquestiona
bly, the greatest feature of modern times.
Hastily and without cause, he has been com
pared to the great features of antiquity. The
times are different, men cannot be equal; the
ancient world has no one to resemble Washing
ton. Washington transformed a colony into a
metropolis; formed a people; created a nation;
changed slavery into liberty. Wars and
liberators have sprung everywhere; bat
in America the drama is greater, milder. Man
is here endowed with. a nature too fierce, too
impatient` to bear chains. Washington and
Bolivar would have broken them, though forged
by - Vulcan himself. A farmer in Westmore
land county, owner of the Mount Vernon estate,
the patriarch and founder of liberty in America,
he loved labor and economy. He filled,without
pay, the offices with which his country honored
him. He gave all that he possessed to his
country, and received nothing from it. When
Washington_ died, the General who had directed
the whole War of Independence, and who,
during eight years had been President of the
United States, left nothing to his widow but the
inheritance of his family. That religions will
to serve hiS country for the sake of patriot
ism, is a virtue that Washington rendered
sublime. Dignified, grave and circuspect,
an example of probity and self-denial, active
intelligent, Washington was destined to be the
Liberator - of one-half of the new world. He
could govern and control his temper, a difficult
quality in the intervals of a protracted war, and
amidst the fickleness of modern souls.
He could do more; he knew how to do good
and never to act passionately. An eminent
man, of which the history of countries records
very few; of great,uprightjudgment,and always
so magnanimoui and such a master of himself
-that neither in prosperity nor adversity can
any one reproach him or wonder at his equa
nimity.
The liberty and happiness of North America,
and the birth of Washington were one in the
mind of Providence.
At the end of one hundred and thirty-two
years, the unknown editor of the Federalista,
`prompted by the lore of all that is grand, ten
ders the homage of -his admiration to the hero
of the North and joins his voice to that of the
Americans, his countrymen, (for America is
one) to remind all of that genius of virtue and
patriotism, and renders thanks to the Almighty
for having vouchsafed to us so great a blessing.
May the memory of • Washington be ever
XeiTZ'ed. - PLUS ith3l34ilgai.
