    Constitution. Suppo-e suob a war should
result in the' conquest of a State, how are
wo to govern it afterwards! Shall we hold
it as a pronuce, and govern it by despotic
power I In the nature of things we could
not, by physical force, coutrol the will of
the people, and compel thein to elect Sen
otors. aud Representatives to Congress,
and' to perform all the other duties do
pn'fins upon their own volition, and re
quire from the free citizeus of a free State
as a constituout member of tbo Confedera
cy. But, if we possessed this power, would
it be wise to exercise it under existing
circumstances T The qfcjeot would dou' t
be to preserve the Union. War
would not only present the most effectu
al means of destroying it ; but would ban-i-b
all hope of its peaceble reqon-truction.
IJ.-fidef, in the fraternal conflict a vat a
uiouut of blood and treasure would be ex
pended, rendering future reconciliation
between the Statca impossible In the
mcauliiae. who can foretell what wolud
bo the mffc rings and privations of the
people during it cxi-tencel
The fact is, that our Union rests upon
public opinion, and cao never be ccmen
nA hx, thrt hlood of in citizens socd m
civil war. If it cannot live in the affec
nions of tbo people, it must one day per
ish. Congress rosscssps many moans oi
preserving it by conciliation; but the
Tiot -nlaced in their hand to
r
preserve it bv force.
But may I bo permitted solemnly to
invoke uiy countrymen to pause and de
liberate, before they determine to destroy
this the grandest temple which has evei
hfiftn dedicated to human freedom since
the world beean! It has been consecra
ted bv the blood of our fathers, by the
glories of the past, and by the hopes of
the future. The Union has already maae
us the most properous and, ere long, will,
if preeerved, render us the mostpowertu
nation on tbo face of the earth.
In every foreign region of the globe the
title of American citizen is held in the
highest respect, and when pronounced in
a foreign land it causes the hearts of our
countrymen to swell with uonest pride.
Siimlv wh. n wc reach the briuk of the
vawninsr aby-, we ahull recoil with hor
ror from the last fatal plunge. By such
a. dread catastrophe the hopes of the
friends of freedom throughout tbo world
would be destroyed, and a long night o
leaden despotism would enshroud the na
tions. Our example for more than eijih
ty years would nit ouly be lost; but it
would be quoted a a conclusive proof
that raau i uufit for self government.
It i not every wrong nay . it is not ev
ery grievous wron which can justify a
re-sort to -ocb a fearful alternative. This
oufcbt to be the last dtoperate remedy of
a dcsDairiuj people, after ever? other con
etitutional mean of conciliation had been
exhausted. We should reflect that an
der this free Government the re is an in
ccs&ant ebb and flow in public opinion
The slavery question, liko eoryt.bins hu
ir.au, will have its day. I Grmly believe
that it has already reached and passed
the culminating ooint. But if, in the
midst of the exi-tsng escitetneut, the Uni
on shall perish, tho evil may then beaome
irreparable. Congress can contribute
much to avort it by proposing and recom
nn'niinjr to tbe legitdatures of the several
State- the remedy for existing evil?, which
the Con-titution has itself provided for it
own preservation.
This, bos ben tried at different critical
periods of our history, and always with
eminent success. It is to be found in tbe
5tb article providing for its own amend
nient. Under tui article amendments
havo been proposed by two-thirds of both
hnu-es of Congress, and havo been rati
fied by the legislatures o three fourths of
the several States." und have consequent
ly become parts of the Constitution. To
this process the country is indebted for
tbe clause prohibitive Congress from par
ting any law respecting an establishment
of religion, or abridging the freedom of
speech or of the press, or of tbe right of
petition. To tbi wc are, also, iudebted
for tbe Bill of Ribt, which secures the
people again! any abuse of power by the
Federal Government. Such were tbe op
prehcnions justly entertained by tbe
friends of State rights at that period as to
have rendered it extremely doubtful
whether tbe Constitution coufd have long
survived without these amend meets.
Aain, the Constitution was amended
bv the same process after the election of
President Jefferson by tbe Hooso of liep
resentatires, in February, 1803. Thi a
mendment was rendered necessary to pre
vent a recurrence of the dangers which
bad seriously threatened the existence of
tbe government daring the pendency of
that election. Tho article for its own a-
mendtnent-was intended to secure tbe am
icable adjustment of conflicting constitu
tional Questions like tho present, which
might arise between tbo governments o
the States and that of tbo United States.
This appears from contemporaneous bis
tory. In this connection, I shall merely
call attention to a few sentences in Mr
r . it 1 . -
Madison s justly celebrated report, in
17)9. to tbe legislature of Virginia. In
this be ably and conclusively defended tbo
resolutions of the preceding legislature a
gainst tbe utrictures of several other State
legislatures.
These were mainly founded upon tbi
protests of tbe Virginia Legislature a
gainst the "Alien and Sedition Acts," as
"palpable and alarming intractions ot the
Constitution." In ooiutine out. tbe
peaceful and constitutional remedies, and
ho rfnrrpfi fn nonfi ofhflr. to WUICU tn
States were autborized to rot-orr, on such
occasions, he concludes bv savinir. "that
tbe Legi-lature of the States might have
a direct representation to Congress with
a view to obtain a rescinding of tbe two
offensive act)1, or they might nave repre
eented to their respective Seoators in Con
gress their wihh that two thirds thereof
would propose an explanatory amendment
to tbe Constitution, or two third of them
selves, if -uch had been their option, might
by an application to Congress, bave ob
tained a convention for tbe same object "
This is the very courfie which I earn
estly recommend in order to obtain an
"explanatory amendment" of the Constitu
tion on tbe subject of slavery. This might
originate with Congress or the Stato le
gislatures, as may be deemed most advi-
same to attain tno onjeci.
Tbe explanatory amendment.migbtr oe
confined to the final settlement of tho true
construction of tho Constitution on three
special points :
1. An express recognition or me nguv
of property in slaves in tho States where
it now exists or may hereafter exist.
2. The duty of protecting this right m
all tho common Territories throughout
their territorial existence, and until they
nhall bn admitted as States into the Uni
on, with or without slavery, as their con
stitutions mav prescribe.
3. A hko recognition of tbe right ot
tho master to havo bis slave, who has es
caped from one State to another, restored
and "delivered up" to him, and of the va
lidity of the fugitive slave law enacted for
this purpose, tosether with a deolartion
that all State laws impairing or defeiting
this right are violations of tbo Constitu
tion, and are consequently null and void
It may be objected that this construc
tion of the Constitution has already been
settled by tbo Supreme Court of tbe Uni
ted States, and what more ought to be
required ? The anwer is, that a very
large proportion of tho United States still
contest the correctness of this decision,
and ne?er will cease from agitation and
adtait its binding force until clearly es
tablished by the peoplo of tho several
States in their sovereign character. Such
an explanatory amendment would, it is
believed, for ever terminate tbo existing
dissensions and restore peace and harmo
ov among tbe States,
"it ought not to be doubted that sucb
an appeal to the arbitrament established
by the Constitution itpelf would be re
ceived with favor by all tbe States of tbe
Confederacy. In any event it ought to be
tried iu a spirit of conciliation helore any
of these States shall separate themselves
from the Union.
When I entered upon tbe duties of tbe
presidential office, the aspect neitbeir of
onr torein nor aomestio annus was ai
all sntisfactorv. We were involved in
dangerous complications with several na
tinnn find two of our territories were m a
state of revolution against the Govern
ment. A retoration of the African slave
trade had numerous and powerful advo
cates. Unlawful military expeditions
were countenanced by many of our citi
zens, and were suffered, in defiance of the
efforts of tbe Government, to escape from
our shores, for tho purpose of making war
upon tho unoffending people of neighbor
ing republics with whom we were at peace
In addition to these and other difficul
ties we experienced a revulsion in mone
tary affairs, soon after my adcent to pow
er, of unexampled severity and of ruin
ous consequences to all the great interest
of the country. When we tako a retros
pect of what was then our condition and
contrast this with its material prosperity
at the time of our late prcsidetial election,
we have abundant reason to return our
ijrateful thanks to that merciful Provi
dence which has never forsaken us as a
nation in all our past trials.
A considerable portion of the message
is devoted to our foreign relations. In
regard to Great Britain we are informed
that two questions which in former times
excited much feeling have been amicably
settled. A mutually satisfactory con
struction of tho Clayton Bulwer treaty has
been established, and Great Britain has
finally abandoned the right to forcibly
visit and search American vet-sels on the
high eas in time of peace. Tbe onlv
question in dispute between the two coun
tries now is tho title to tbe island of San
Juan, in tho vicinity of Washington Ter
ritory.
The rights of our naturalized 'citizens
of French birth to be exempt from milita
ry service, when they vi-it tbeir native
country, has been fully recognized by a
Frencb judicial tribunal, with tbo sanc
tion of the Imperial Government, and tbe
message contains some sound doctrine in
regard to tbe duty of our country, to up
bold tbe rights of its adopted citizens from
tbe German States, and to 'recognize no
distinction between our native and natu
ralized citizens."
In referring to our relations with Spain,
the President reiterates the recommend a
tion contained in his message of 1558, and
repeated in 1859, in favor of the purchase
of Cuba. The prospects of tbe success of
tbi recommendation in tbo present con
dition of nationil affairs, our recders will
have no difficulty in estimating.
In regard to our finanoial condition,
tbe President claims credit for having
reduced the national expenditures, for tbo
year ending on tho 30th of June 1860, to
8ri5,4()2,46fj 46.
In regard to tho tariff, ho again ur
gently recommends its modification for
the purpose of increasing the revenue, and
makes a very strong argument in favor of
imposing specific instead of ad valorem
duties upon all articles to which these can
be applied.
ratting tue document as wuole, it is a
most remarkable medley, exbibttiu? tbe
work of a variety of bands, and showing
unmistakable signs of having been pieced
and patched, elaborated and cut down, to
xuit tbe conflicting opinion' of different
members of tho cabinet. There nro pas
sages in which it is direct, forcible and
satisfactory, and these aro followed by
others that are feeble almost to absurdity.
It is cloar that the Presidont and his ad
visers did not know what to do with the
great question they were forced to deal
with.

Fatal Accident in the Woods.
On Thursday morning lait two young
men John Morrison and Ibomas Dan
lels went bunting on tho nilis nortn o
onr villaye. and not beini? familiar with

about in tho woods until about half past
five in the afternoon, when Morrison (so
savs Daniels') sat down, saving that be
must rest before goinj further. Daniel
then left bim and raado bis way out o
the woods, telling Morrison to follow his
track when bo reecovered. Morrison not
returning, on Saturday morning a party
went in cearch of him. About four miles
from Milford on Buckborn Ridge tbey
found bim lying on his back, hi fee
under him, and gun on his breast tightly
clasped in his hand, with a terrible wound
in his forehead.
Coroner Loreaux summoned a jury
and held an inquest. The jury rendered
a verdict of accidentia! death, caused by
the disohargo of a gun in his own hand.'
From the position in wbicb the body
was found, it would appear that after
