dent Polk, although violently opposed to that
provision, signed the bill, and why ? Because
the proviso in respect to Oregon was entirely
nugatory'; it could have no effect in such a ter
ritory. Why can we not now take the same
liberal and statesmanlike view and my that the
question of Slavery is settled by nature in New
rilesieo, and it matters not whether we say
it slily go there or may not . ; it cannot go.
Speaker, will not dwell longer upon
this resolution. I feel at this time as though
momentous consequences were hanging upon
our action. I feel that the influence of Penn
sylvania, upon this question will be felt in
Washington. I feel that it ought to be felt. 3
I am persuaded that by such a resolution as
offer we shall express the conservative senti
ment of Pennsylvania. Were such a constitu
tional amendment now submitted to a vote of
the people of Pennsylvania, I believe it would
pass by an overwhelming majority. I DM not
so well informed tfh to the sentiment west cf
the mountains ; but I can speak with some coo.
',blame for the people of the eastern side, for 1
know that they arc conservative—that they are
looking with groat anxiety for a settlement of
this question on some terms corresponding to the
mode which I propose.
But it may be said, "stand firm I stand
Firm !" And what then ? "We will settle the
question." Settle it how? How will a war of
one year, or two years, or twenty years, settle
this question? What do you propose to ac
complbila ? Can you settle this question at the
end of a war without concessions on both sides
Certainly not. What do you accomplish - by a
war? You desolate the laud for years, paralyze
its industry, and sow tho seeds of a bitter hos
tility, the fruits of which both wo and our
children will reap for generations yet to come.
And finally you come to a conclusion of settle
ment, based upon some treaty or some concur
rence of sentiment by mutual concession.—
Was there ever a war settled otherwise ? Never.
And this war will be settled in the same way.
Why not settle it now? Why not settle this
question before the North and the South have
joined in the deadly embrace of foes, rather
than wait until seas of human blood have de
inged our land ; and then come down to terms
of settlement upon precisely this basis? Forthere
is no other basis ; there is noway of settling this
question, except by a#eeing to some line north
of which slavery shall not go, and South of
which it may be permitted, if the people de
sire it.
It may be suggested that this is the Critten
den resolution, or that of Mr. Bigler, or that it
is the Douglas platform. I care nothing for
these platforms. I feel this moment that lam
above all platforms—above all party considera
tions. I am here to speak for my country,and to
declare before God what I believe ought to be
done. Having fixed upon a proposition which
I deem best adapted to the present emergency,
*I care not where it belongs, whether in any
party platform or not—whether it originated
with a Democrat or a Republican. Where or
how it originated I care not ; I only feel that
this action is right, and because it is right, I
approve it and urge its adoption.
Mr. Speaker, another resolution declares :
"That Pennsylvania is loyal to the Union au l
faithful in the observance of the Constitution
and the laws ; and in manifestation thereof the
Judiciary Committees of both the Senate and
House of Representatives are hereby instructed
to inquire whether there is any law in force in
Pennsylvania, which conflicts with her constitu
tional obligations to the government of the
United States, or which prevents or obstructs
the due execution within her jurisdiction of any
law of the United States ; and if there be any
such law to report by bill or otherwise."
This resolution is offered for this reason. Me
morials and petitions and resolutions in great
numbers, have been presented here, declaring
in favor of the repeal of certain parts of our
laws. Now this House should not tolerate the
repeal or enactment of laws in an inconsiderate
manner. The work of legislation is a sacred
duty, and it should be performed always with
the utmost deliberation and care. Bills propos
ing the enactment or repe - al of laws are always
sent to appropriate committees for their consid
eration and report. When a proposition like
this is made for the repeal of Important portions
of our laws, the subject should take a similar
direction. By this resolution the committee are
not restricted as to the mode of their report.
Whatever it may be, let it embody the results
of such deliberation and care that it will carry
weight as the expression of this House.
The resolutions which have been offered by
the gentleman from Philadelphia, for the repeal
of the entire 9oth and 96th sections of the Pe
nal Code, illustrates the necessity of acting in
such matters with great caution. A part of
those sections apply to the protection of free
negroes in Pennsylvania, from being kidnapped,
and the law, as it now exists, is not so severe
as the law which, I believe, is at this moment
in force in the State of Virginia, and some
other slave States; and without it, or a similar
uot, the free negroes of the State would be ex
posed, as they have been, to dangers from this
source. In the same series of resolutions it is
proposed to repeal the third and fourth sections
the act of 1347. Those, sf. clone, have already
been repealed. Ido not refer to these things
except for the purpose of showing that this in
considerate way of dealing Avith legal questions
ought.not to be sanctioned or tolerated by the
House. These subjects require deliberation and
close investigation, that what we do may be
wisely and well done.
The eighth and last resolution expresses for
our brethren of the slavabolding States, the
most cordial and fraternal regard. Is it not
true ? I believe that every member on this
floor does cherish toward the people of the
southern States a cordial and fraternal regard.
We say to them in the spirit of kindness, "That
whilst we claim and insist upon the recognition
and protection of all our Constitutional rights,
we cheerfully admit in them an equal and in
violable right to the same Constitutional privi
leges, and to the equal and impartial protec
tion of the government."
Is not this also true? Do we claim more
than we are willing to grant ? We are ready to
acknowledge now, and always, that we and the
people of the South are equals under this con
stitution. We are willing to express to them
in unmistakable language that we concede to
them equal rights and equal privileges, under
the Constitution, and an equal and impartial
protection.
The resolution further adds, " that we hold
- the :Union to be the only sure basis of our con
tinued prosperity and happiness, and the en
forbernent of the laws an imperative and una
voidable duty of the Federal Government, es
sential to its preservation, and to be acoom
pitched,- if necessary, by its entire civil and mil
itary power."
It is necessary to rebuke this spirit of seces
sion. It is proper that we should say that the
entire military force of this Government shall
be employed, if necessary, for the purpose of
enforcing the laws and preventing secession.
And " that secession is revolution,
and inevitably leads to war, and that, in such
an emergency, Pennsylvania tenders to the
President of the United States the whole re
sources of the State for its suppression."
Vie' mean to declare to the South that
'Allot we intend to concede to them every pri
.iilege to which they are entitled, and every
right which the Constitution guarantees to
them—without stint and without limit—on per
fect equality of right and protection with our
seives—that we do not mean to concede the
right of secession.
• • "FtUititt States, some of them, talk of resuming
tliellCsovereignty. What a misnomer ? • Re-.
slime their sovereignty ! When were Louisiana
and Florida sovereign ? or Arkansas, or Missou•
ri? , When did they become sovereign ? Why,
sir, they were provinces of Spain, purchased by
NeTiileon. without their knowledge or =mint,
and transferied by Spain to France; and again
in 1803,when on breach of the treaty of Amiens
the wars broke out again between the allied
powers and Napolecn, and he feared that his col
ony on the Mississippi would be attacked,perhaps
conquered by England, he promptly sold the
territory to the United States for fifteen ma
tions of dollars, whom did ho consult? The
people of the territory? Never. They were de
pendent provinces, without even the slightest
pretence of sovereignty. Were they, then, sov
ereign people when they came into this Union?
When, and where, and how, did they acquire
such sovereignty ? Sir, they never were sover
cign. They were provinces, first of Spain, then
of France ; then they b9came the purchased
property and possession of the United States.
Chey have no privileges except what the United
States conferred upon them, first by their terri
torial laws, and afterwards the privilege of
. equality in the Union when they were admitted
is States. The sovereignty which was then be
stowed upon them was a limited sovereignty.
It was a sovereignty within certain specified and
well ascertained liMits ; they were not sover
eigns In any of the particulars on which they
are now claiming to be independent of the Gen
eral Government. A province, namitted by spe
cial legislation to certain privileges, claims now
to rise superior to the very power which created
it I
Sir, what is the consideration of this Union ?
Why is it that Pennsylvania and New York
consented to be parts and members of this
great confederacy? It is because every other State
of this Union has bound itself, by the obliga
tions of the Constitution,to give to all and to
every part mutual and equal protection. This
is the very consideration of the contract—if
you put it upon no higher term. The doctrine
that any State has the right of secession, is a
doctrine in violation of the particular rights of
every other State. Pennsylvania now has the
right 'to the protection of South Carolina, and
of Alabama, and of every other State of the
Union.
There is no such thing as an authorized se
cession known to Constitutional law. The idea
of a Constitution providing within itselt for its
own dissolution and destruction, is totally at va
riance with every idea of constituted govern
ment. If the government of the United States
be not a government capable of sustaining its
elf against any aggressio .. either within or with
out, then it is impossible, utterly impossible,
that there shall be any confederation of States
that can form a National Government. The
Constitution of the United States, except within
certain limits alai for specified purposes, takes
no more notice of State lines and boundaries
than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania takes
notice of the metes and bounds of her several
counties. We are one people, bound together
by this Constitution made by the people and
not by the States alone, and the largest number
of the States now comprised within this Union
were brought in by direct Act of Congress, and
constituted part of property purchased and paid
for by the Union itself, having no rights of
sovereignty vested in them but only such rights
as were conferred upon them by the sovereigns
power of the United States.
Mr. Speaker, I feel that I have gone over
these questions very imperfectly, and yet more
at length than I intended. But it is a question
which concerns us all. It is no light matter,
for trivial reasons to involve this Union in a
fratricidal war. Where such a war would end
God only knows. Virginia, Maryland and the
Southern States have now as much of courage
—as much of unflinching determination, as the
North. They are not equal in numbers—nor in
resources ; but if necessary, they would,
"To the best of their blood and their breath
Like reapers de scend to the harvest of death."
I believe that the same spirit which animated
them in the darkest hours of the Revolution is
still there burning as brightly as it is burning
in the North. Where, then, in the name of
Heaven, would this war end ? Can you con
fine it? Can you set its limits in time or in
place? Shall this peerless Union, standing be
fore the world in her purity and majesty so glo
rious in her apparel, be thrust with our hands
into the dismal and rayless caverns of disunion,
her garments torn and stained and, dripping
.with the blood of her children?
What is there in the complications of this
question which is not capable of easy solution
without the sacrifice of any principle whatever?
I believe such a solution can be arrived at. I
believe, as I said in rising, that Pennsylvania
now holds the very keys of the Union in her
hand. Not that South Carolina or Virginia. or
all the Southern States combined, could coerce
a separation. I have no such idea. Ido not
dream of it for a moment. I am not one of
those who believe that this Union ever can be
dissolved by any force of arms. If the South
ern States ever go out of this Union, they will
go by the consent of the people of the North.
Twenty millions of people in the North cannot
be coerced by the resources or numbers of the
seven millions of the South.
But we do not present the question in such a
light as this. We are strong enough to be
magnanimous. If it be urged as a reason to de
ter us from such action, upon this question.that
it may be asserted in the South that we have
yielded to fear and intimidation, I would say
that such an idea has no lodgment with me.
Afraid ! Afraid of the issues of the war I
Twenty millions with the resources 16T the
North, afraid of seven millions burdened as
they are with an institution in their very midst
which would require no small proportion of
their members to restrain it from violent and
awful inanxection! No, sir, there is no timidi
ty, there is no fear, there is no apprehengon in
any expressions of these resolutions. They
merely propose that we, in the greatness of o - sr
strength, in the majesty of our power, shall
stand up and say, "we yield nothing to intimi
dation • we care nothing for threats ; hut we
are willing to adopt this measure of compromise
because it is right, because whilst we feel
assured the war could have no doubtful issue,
we would not drive you, nor `be driven our
selves, to any such fearful alternative.
Mr. Speaker, I will not trouble the House
longer. I trust that in the mercy of God this
question may be settled. If it ever is, be as
sured it will be upon a basis similar to this. It
is either to compromise now, or it will be com
promise when the war shall end. It is conces
sion, not of any principle which we -ought to
value, but concession of a dogma only—conces
sion to people now imbued with strong impres
sions of our injustice. Sir, let us remove those
impressions now, and promptly, for they are
unjust to the great heart of Pennsylvania. Let '
us come before them and say, "we meet you as
brethren ; you are our brethren ; bone of our
bone, and flesh of our flesh." There is scarcely
a Northern family anywhere who has not kin
dred or friends under the warm suns of the
South. A war would be a war of brother
against brother—a war that would strike home
to the hearthstone of every man at the North
and in the South. Where and how it would
end God only knows.
Mr. BARTHOLOMEW. Will the gentleman
permit me to B,Bk him a question?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. Certainly.
Mr. BARTHOLOMEW. Do I understand the
gentleman from Lycoming - to offer to this House,
as a basis of settlement, the Dred Scott deci
sion ?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. I certainly do not, six.
Mr. BARTHOLOMEW. As I understand the
gentleman, nature has set a barrier against the
extension of slavery beyond the Missouri Com
promise line.
Mr. ARMSTRONG. The gentleman hers not
stated my position accurately. I will state, in
explanatdon, that I did not enter upon the
question Its to the condition of territory north
of that line, with regard to slavery. I have
but little to say on that subject. There are
parts of the territories north of the line, in
which it Is quite possible that slavery might
pennspluania laity 0-tlegraigh fribar Afternoon, „Ilanuarti 25, 1861.
exist, but there are other and larger districts,
rocky, cold and sterile, where it is impossible.
All the territories west of the mountains, I pre
sume, are secure for free labor, and in all the
territories north of the line. The question is
probably settled by the'admission of Kansas as
free State. Slavery cannot be remunerative,
except under the most favorable circumstances
of climate and soil.
Mr. BARTHOLOMEW. I would like to ask
the gentleman another question. Is he willing
to agree that this government shall acquire ad
ditional territory south of the Missouri Com
promise line ?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. In regard to that ques
tion, I have this to say. One reason why Ido
not entirely concur in the Crittenden amendment
is, thatit proposes now to dispose of the question
slavery in territory yet to be acquired. When
Additional territory shall be acquired, it will be
under the control of Congress, and under cir
cumstances which we cannot now foresee, and
For which it would be unwise to attempt to pro
vide. The Crittenden amendment provides
that all territory south of that line, which shall
be acquired, shall be under the-protection of a
slave power. I say such a prdvision would be
unwise ; it is a question which should be left to
be considered at the time of acquisition, taking
into consideration all the attendant circum
stances. This is the reason that lam not en
tirely in favor of the Crittenden resolution.
Mr. BARTHOLOMEW. Ido not distinctly
understAnd from the gentleman, in how much
territory north of the Compromise Line of 1820,
slavery can exist, according to the view o, the
gentlemen. What is the reason that it cannot
exist in New Mexico, if it can exist north of
that line ?
Mr. ARMSTRONG. We propose to say by
this amendment • to the Constitution, that
slavery shall not exist north of that line ; and
there being then a constitutional prohibition, it
would be a question of no consequence whether
the constiuttion of the country was such as
to render slavery possible or not.
Mr. BARTHOL EMEW. I understood the
gentleman to say that with regard to that ter
ritory, Nature had already set a prohibition.
In that case, there would be no gain on the
part of the north by such a compromise line.
Mr. ARMSTRONG. I was speaking only of
the territory south of the line.
Mr. AUSTIN. In the course of a few re
marks, which I made last week upon the Sen
ate resolutions, I said that I could most hearti
ly vote for them, and I hoped they would pass
unanimously. I then supposed that those reso
lutions would be voted upon previously to any
action upon the resolutions which are now be
fore the House. I then stated that while those
Senate resolutions are unobjectionable in their
character and while I could not conceive why
any member of thisoHouse could refuse to give
them his assent, yet they do not go so far as I
would prefer that they should go, in order to
meet my views. I also stated that when the
resolutions submitted by the gentleman from
Lycoming, (Mr. Amusracolc), should come up,
I would give my views more fully, as those re
solutions were more in accordance with my
desires, and more fully met my views than those
then before the House ; and as those resolu
tions are now under consideration, I propose to
state briefly what are my views.
Those views lam confident correspond with
the views of those whose representative I am
upon this floor.. The resolutions now before the
House may not embrace all that we would de
sire ; they may go farther than would be dic
tated by the views of some members on this
floor, even of the Republican party.
It is impossible—the discussion upon this
question for more than two weeks shows it to
be impossible—for all of us to agree in every
particular with regard to the resolutions which
should be adopted, and the action which should
be taken by us with a view to remedy the evils
under which we are now suffering. But it does
appear to me that, if the resolutions now before
the House epuldbe attached to those which have
come to us from the Senate—if the Legislature
would sanction a combination of those two sets
of resolutions—l think that in that shape the
resolutions would better meet the wants of the
countryand would better express the sentiments
of the great State of Pennsylvania,
There cannot be any serious objeclion to
the first, second, third and fourth resolutions,
and even the fifth resolution, presented by the
gentleman from Lycoming.
Mr. ABBOTT. I desire to ask of the gentle
man from Fulton (Mr. Austin) a suspension of
his remarks for a moment, while I make a mo
tion relative to an evening session.
[Mr. AUSTIN yielded the floor for this pup ,
pose.]
Mr. ABBOTT moved that when the House
adjourn, it be to meet at 7 o'clock this evening.
Mr. ACKER'ntoved to amend the motion so
as to read "that, for the purpose of considering
Senate bill No. 1, entitled 'Joint Resolutions,
relative to the maintenance of the Constitution
and the Union,' this House will hold a session
this evening at 7 o'clock."
The amendment was agreed to, and the mo
tion, as amended, was adopted.
Mr, AUSTIN: The decision of the House on
the amendment of the gentleman from Chester
(Mr. Acxcxa) seems rather to indicate that
those who are in favor of the resolutions now
before us, and who desire to speak upon them,
shall be cut off. I hope, nevertheless, that we
shall have an opportunity fully to declare our
views.
[At this point the hour of adjournment hav
ing arrived, the SPEAKER adjourned the House
until 7 o'clock, P. M.]
