Speech of Ron. H. B. Wright, of Luzern County. DELIVED.ED lii ITIE MOUSE OB lIEPEESMWA.- I purpose, Mr. Chairman, to make a tew remarks upiin the objects of.tlio war,- and what I conceive to be the just and proper method of carry ing it on. And it is also my. purpose s if I can, to take that middle, conservative course, avoiding an, gry extremes, upon which we must rely in our efforts not only - to save the Consti tution, but to save the Union itself. Ido not-rise, sir, for the 'purpose of indulging iu anrangry; reflections towards any gen tleman upon this floor. This is not the time, nor the occasion, foe an , indulgence of this kind. I came here elected upon conservative principles ;. and I • say to you, and J assure t his Hotise, that kbave not cast a, solitary vote, since I have been a.' member upon this itoor, but what has aceordild—with my owl) convictions of what was right :hid proper to be done: I claim to be the representative of, my whole district. I was returned to this House by both 'po litical parties in my district. -Both politi cal parties agreed upon a , common plat form, and upon that platform I catne here as their Representative_; aud therefbre, if there be an individual member of this 1 1 House who stands—if I may tine the ex pression—above polities, who stand - in a position to 'be solely governed by just and proper influences at all times,it is My self. was elected as a Union man, and as a Union man Lam ready to stand or fall. Thereare 'no party shackles upon my hands that shall divert me from the true and consistent course that I deem to be expedient and proper upon this most mu. inentous occasion. -- I tried in vain the other, day to obtain the floor aftey the • gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Bingham] had concluded what I conceived to bef—and be.will pardon me for using the`expression—a speech in which he used language and uttered senti ments inconsistent with his position as a distinguisheA man, and amymber of the American Congress. If the, doctrine, which the gentleman from Ohio the'other day proposed be' carried out,, which was the unconditional emancipation of four• millions of slaves, I appeal to him. in his moments of reflection, and when calmness and candor shall take possesliion of his mind, whether he has powe'r to estimate the consequences tl,lat would follow a step .uf that kind. The very idea of carrying out a principle of that - nature strikes a blow .at the foundation of your Govern ment, and overturns that vital source which .gives life to mean our Consti tution. CONRESIONAL. ?IVES, J.I..NITAIiY 20. I ant not, sir,lan advocate .Of -slavery , but I ain one of those'who are illiiig to take the-Constitutiou as our fathers gave it. to as.. lam willing to be governed by those landmarks which they established and sealed with their blood. I ant willing to be confined within those limits which the Constitution prescribes ,but lam not, one of those who are , prepared . to substi tute any of those theories which have been proposed here,an-1 which go beyond _the limits of the Constitution,and in viola-_ tion of its spirit and letter. • I ant also in favor .of maintaining this War—for we must now call it war.,--upon the sole issue upon,which it was inaugura ted. lam willing to stand by the nrinci •pki which gave the war existence; and principle which inaugurated the policy o f the war, according to my humble concep tion,,ismot following that rule of proprie ty whichconscience , reason, and judg ment dictate. . What was the policy of the It ? •I refer von, I - refer 'the committee to that proclamation of the President of the Uni ted States issued on the 15th day of April last, calling out setenty-five thousand men, in response to which six liundred. thousand men.. are to-day marshaled in the field. And I want gentlemen on the oth ther side to bear with me while I refer to to a paragraph from -that proclamation; which went out from the White Meuse on that day. Iwant the attention: . of gen tlemen calling themselves Republicans upon this 'floor, because i was enuncia ted as a part of their .policy, because it lets been carried out .by the man whom they placed in Bower. I yant them to adhere i to that policy; for it is to them am talking to-day. -I now ask the -Clerk to read froth that proclamation the para- - graph I have indicated. .The Clerk read, as follows : " I deem it proper say that. the 'first. service assigned to the force hereby call e4 forth will probably be to repossess the flirts :Ma PrOPertir wbi eh have been sciptd front the enion;:and in every event the utmost care will be observed, consist ently with the objects afoiesaid, to avoid any, devastation, any- destruction of or in terference with property, or 'ally distur bance of peaceful citizens in any pan. pl' the country." - . - Mr. Wright. There, Mr. Chairman,ds the first summons that went out front the American Government in regard to • the objects_ and design of this war when the first demand for troops was made. i wish Republican gentletrien of this House to tell me what the President, means by thiS•latignage; • " In' every event, the utmost care 011 be - observed, consistently - With the Objects aforesaid, to avoid any devastation, any destruction Of or interference with proper= ty, or any disturhance of peaceful citizens in - any - part of the country.' - What did the President mean by alleg. ing;whea he called a military-force' into the field, that there should lie no interfe rence whatever With - property of anyitinti?

Those resolutions i de 7 Oared that this wail is hot waged Upon our part in any - 80 1 k of - oppression or purpose to overthrow or interfere pith the rights or est:ll)l46d institutions ef the : southern States, but to detinul and Main tain the supremacy of , the ConStitution, and to preserve that, Union with all: the dignity, equality, at 'rights of the Sere val States unimpaired ; and that, as 'soots as these 'objes orelaccomplished, the war ought. to cease. This was the platform upon which the m4mbers of this • House sustained this war. I. It was not to be a 1 ) war of conquest. t _was not to be a'; war of subjuqation. N) ; it was to be a'.: war to pat down this re ellioit and to sup Press this insurrection.. ' In reply to a gentleman near ine, I will say that neither the.gentleman fromPhio [Mr. Bingham}] not the gentleman Ifrom Pennsylvania [Mr.SteVens] voted on those resolutions. They were resollitions dechirinii, that the object of the %Uar was to.puetio*n re-- ' bellion, while at tlie same time the rights of pro.perty shouldlbe respected. SO this House almost unit imously resolved upon 1 the da3-safter the .1 sastcr upon the plains ofManassas.' The eis not a gentleman here who - does not haie a fresh and !ivivid ',recollection of the.. ay after that disaStrous battle. We met here upon tile 2.2 d ofJu ly in this House, a id the general _feelink was one of sadness and sorrow—one. of distrust for the ex stence of the Crevein ment—a question _fir life - and death ;;and. if , )• there was ever at me since the establish ment of the Rep iblic when wise men should come‘together in coi's-el and the hearts of patriots ihould beat in unison, it was' unon that - vet day when those reso lutions were brought up; with two dis senting voices ex c'onted,the3, , ,received the unanimous assent b l f the House of Itepre sentatives. • 'Up to that point, then, there had been . no change of pc licy in refarenceto the, prosecution of th . war. Those 'resolu tions embodied the principle on which the warWasinaugurated, to wit :.to put down rebellion, and not to manumit slaves, and to set theM loose upon community—four millions of illiterate,' and .I may almost say half barbarous. people, withoilt any means of support,' leaving the govern ment to take enrelof them, or the ;people to guard themselves against their inroads. YeS, sir, the adol Lion of the principle con: tended for by the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Bingham] would lay waste the. fair State of Kentuekkr.- Its ailoption, would ,strike from the. tarter of our liberties Maryland and W stern Virginia, and the State •of Missouril 'Why, then; will gen tlemen contend firr carrying out :in .idea which strikes at he _homes and .'hearth stones of as loyal the Govern er men as exist in the IN x ion 7 thisery day? Let it be the , polieV iiirot* a, -to - carry out the Crittenden . resoliitions, and I firmly believe, Mr. Chairman, that the Union is safe; but if you imike this a war Of slave emancipation,. as God is - my judge, I be lieve that the Govo'nment is irretr'eVablv 1: - gone.

If any troops left, the field onsthe day of the' battle lam not' here to justify them: Ido not stand here to be their apolOgist. If they went into the field it was their duty to have remain ed there, and to have defendcd the flag of the Republic. I say that the one hundred thousand men who are in arms to-day. from the State of Pennsylvania are as loy al to the Government and as brave men as are mustered into 'the United States service from any state; and they have gone -into this war far the .purpose •of saving the Union and the Constitution.— It is the liattles of the'- hite man they are ebliked to fight, and not the battles of the black man'. They are for the • princi ples of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation and Crittenden's resolutions. As I have said, I had'no part in the elevation of Mr. Lin• coin to the executive chair. He was not my nominee; be did not receive my vote. I had no hand in elevation. I: assert; howevei—and I speak it nut ,only to the' House but to the world—that. I : belie - Ye Abrah'inLincoln has a patriotic heart in his body; and, as long as he pursues the meas ures he has introduced io reference to the management of this war, and ,the object, which he gives for bringing meeintethe field, I am ready to stand by him and sus tain him, because in doing that,l stand by the Constitution and the country: • lam one of those who think not only. that he "means well," but that: lie acts well. He acted well when he issued his proclamation stating that his object was to put down the rebellion, and to respect the rights of property. - He acted well when he reiterated the same principle in 'his message at the meeting of this Con gress:. And I refer you to a clause in that message. _He says: • ' "I have, therefore, in every case, tho't it proper to keep the integrity of the Un ion prominent, as the primary object of the contest upon our part, leaving the questions which - are net of vital military iMp'ortance to the more deliberate action of the Legislature." - _ ' , He. says further :' "I have been anxious and, careful. that the inevitable: conflict for this : . pitrpose shall mot degenerate into a violent and re morselei.s revolutionary struggho When Abraham Lincoln penned that paragraph he.not only 'meant well,' but he wrote well, end enunciated princi ple and a sentimetit'which he. will be jus tified in before the' AmeriCan people. • It. should not be a 'remorseless revolutionary struggle.'- I say, sir, that Abraham Lin: coin acted well when he sent "supplies to Fort Sumter in the early part •of this Struggle, and I justify him „ to the \ act which he did then ; and, in filet, so-11w s regard,s the prosecution of the •, war and the objects which brought it; into exist ence;he has nniforMly- not only 'meant well, but uniformly acted well.
