WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 20,1861.
U. S. SENATE-EXTRA SESSION.
SPEECH OF HON. JOHN O. BRECKINRIDGE
WASHINGTON, March 19, 1861
The Senate resumed the consideration of the
resolution of Mr. Douglas in reference to the
forts, arsenals, navy yards and other public
property in the seceded States.
Mr. Breckinridge, of Ky., rose and ad li
-
dressed the Senate. He said that it was not
his purpose to trespass long upon the time of
the Senate, but in the present anxious and
distracted condition of the country, this body
should not adjourn, without his expressing an
opinion on the existing State of affairs, and
giving some advice tending to allay public ap
prehension. Heretofore, in the official position
as presiding officer, he ad of necessity been a
silent spectator of the scene before him. Since
Congress met the confederacy had been dis
membered. At an early period of the session
he, with others, had made strenuous efforts in
order to consummate a satisfactory adjustment,
but unhappily all these efforts have failed. He
thought he foresaw soon after that they would all!
fail, and accordingly more than two months ago
he wrote to the Governor of Kentucky to that
effect. No man regretted this failure more than
he did, and now the other branch of Congress
having adjourned, he should regret this body
to separate without giving their opinion or ad
vice in order to allay the apprehension in the
public mind. Here the immediate question
was one of peace or war. So it was to day.—
Whatever was the possibility of an ultimate
adjustment to unite all the States, it was one
of peace or war. Opinion seemed to be divided
as to the meaning of Mr .Lincoln's Inaugural.
The Senator from Illinois had construed it to
mean peace and conciliation. The Senator
from Maine also said so. The President him
self certainly used generalterms of conciliation,
but then it was proper to inquire what kind of
peace, and on what terms it can be maintained.
The country, however, should not be lulled by
at general assurance of peace unless he was
prepared to give it.
He regretted that he had not been able to
construe the inaugural address as other Sena
tors. He was free to confess, and he was
gratified to do so, that the general expressions
are for harmony and the prevention of blood
shed. But the policy , which the President
says he deems it his duty to pursue must result
in bloodshed unless considerably modified.—
He then proceeded to read from the inaugural
that part which seemed to him to be the key
of this important point, and then said the
leading idea was therein very clearly put forth
that the President does not recognize, in any
sense, the existence of another confederacy of
States, but that he regards all the proceedings
and acts in the seceded States either insurrec
tionary or revolutionary ; and that it is his
purpose, to the extent of the power confided
in him and the force at his command, to enforce
the laws in all the States, including those
which have withdrawn. Beyond this power
there will be no invasion, no war. The infer
ence was irresistible to whatever extent force
or invasion is necessary to collect the duties
on imports, and to maintain, possess and oc
cupy the forts, force will be employed by con
struing it to be his constitutional duty. It is
true that the President has qualified his de
claration by saying that "the course here indica
ted will be followed, unless current events and
experience shall show a modification or change
to be proper, and in every case and exigency
my best discrestion will be exercised according
to circumstances actually existing, and with
the view and hope of a peaceful solution of
the national troubles and the restoration_ of
fraternal sympathies and affections." He
(Mr. Breckinridge) took this qualification to
mean that he will not undertake to execute
the laws or to hold the forts and other places
within the withdrawing States, excepting where
circumstances show his ability to do so ; and
if ha wilt not undertake to exercise those func
tions because it would be irritating, and make
the hopes of a peaceful solution more doubtful,
then the policy would be that which would
prevent irritation and bloodshed.
The President conceived his duty to hold,
possess and occupy the forts, and collect duty
on imports, to be modified according to the
necessities of the case which may surround
him; otherwise his policy would be simple and!
easy. Looking at Fort Sumpter, what were!
the reasons for the rumored evacuation? Not
political but military reasons; not because in
the opinion of the Administration the holding;
of the fort would irritate the public mind and!
render conciliation and harmony doubtful, but'
because the military and naval power does not
exist to penetrate to that point. Unless the.
purpose of the President was to use force so
far as was necessary, he would, if his object
was purely conciliation, withdraw the troops
for political and not military reasons. This
was the only reason why the evacuation was
to be excused by the dominant party and the
Republican press. Then he thought he was
justified in construing the inaugural to mean
that the President will hold the forts and other
places within the Confederate States, and col
lect the duties on imports to the extent of his
power, and if there is any modification it will
be because of his inability, and not because he
would be willing to withdraw the troops for
the purpose of producing conciliation and peace
in the public mind. It was avowed the other
day, when the bill passed making an appropri
ation for a certain number of steamers of light
draft and heavy armament, that it was for no
other purpose than to invade the shallow wa
ters of Southern States, should this become
necessary. The public press gave but little
ground of hope that this policy, if pursued,
would avoid bloodshed. The character of the
Cabinet was not such as to induce the belief
that force would not be used. Although Mr.
Seward breathed general words of conciliation,
he said he "would not only speak a good many
words for the Union, but would work for the
Union." If this gentleman had modified ltis
views, ho (Breckinridge) did not know it. !
The Secretary of the Treasury, Postmaster
General and Attorney General—perhaps every
other member of the Cabinet, one excepted, tiro
understood by the country to favor the policy
of coercion if it becomes necessary to reduce
the South to subjection. The very organiza
tion of the Senate and the opinions continually
expressed by Republicans here show their pur
pose to maintain the authority of the federal
government over the withdrawing States lbw
force if necessary. In the fcrmation of the
standing committees there was seareelya
chairman of any one of them whose known
opinion was not in favor of this policy. Should
the authority of the federal government Ibe
maintained over the withdrawn States by force
of arms? This exhausts the entire questibn.
If yes, it is proper for it to be known. But
there is no adequate preparation. Then in
those seven States the possession of the flat
tered forts was the only cause of irritation. If
they are to be maintained by arms let us get
ready for the conflict. If not, then the policy
i. clear. If the Union is not to be maintai ed

by arms, then the only policy is to withdraw
the troops from the limits of the Confederate
States. There are not, he repeated, troops
there to coerce the people. If you would avail
yourselves of the last chance of reuniting the
States, withdraw the troops. Their pre
sence there could do no good, but incalcu
lable harm. Nay more. It could not be dis
guised that while seven States have withdrawn,
the eight other States remaining in the Union
are discouraged, gloomy and threatening.—
Their couzse will in all probability be deter
mined by the policy of this administration.
In his opinion if a halting policy be pursued,
and the forts are abandoned and the squad
rons withdrawn, under the pressure of cir
cumstances and necessity merely, at the same
time setting up the claim of coercion, with
out the power to exercise it ; if blood should
be shed, you will have destroyed the last hope
of reuniting the States and maintaining in their
integrity what is left of the Union. The country
should not be deceived. What was meant by
peace and conciliation? How was it to be
maintained ? He desired to know it as sin
cerely as he desired the union of all the States.
He had seen no measure of practical policy
which tends to produce the result. We are in
constant danger of collision and bloodshed.—
Perhaps in no other country on the globe than
our own could such events long exist without
producing bloody consequences. We are, he
repeated, liable to hear at any time of a collis
ion of arms. For the sake of the political and
material interests of the country, the support
of credit and the general prosperity, let US
establish some leading principle.
,It might be presumptuous in him, but he
thought the Senate, representing the States,
and an advisory council, ought to advise the
President by resolution to withdraw the troops,
not to take any steps looking like a menace,
but to throw the chances on an amicable ne
gotiation. The seven States which have gone
out may be considered a protest against force.
The eight remaining States also protest. Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Virginia by overwhelm
ing majorities have declared that if coercion
were used, they would consider the cause of the
seceded States their own. Even Maryland,
like a mute moved to utterance, has raised her
voice in the same direction. If the President,
under advice of the Senate, withdrew the scat
tered and impotent forces, he would give the
country an assurance that the Administration
means peace. The material interests of the
country would revive, and there would be re
alized the truth that the greatest blessings are
to be found in a constitutional Union. He
would vote for the resolution introduced by the
Senator from Illinois, because its purpose looked
in that direction ; but it seemed to him that it
would be more direct and effectual if some
Senator would move a resolution expressing
the sense of the Senate, that' it is the duty of
the President to withdraw all the federal troops
from the Confederate States. He had spoken
of the forts, but said nothing about the reve
nue. He believed the late Administration had
looked into this question, and reached the con
clusion that it was not possible to collect it
under the existing laws. He thought this fact
was demonstrated by the Senator from Illinois.
If collected, it must be by force, which the
President does not possess. Nor has he the
power to blockade. Then there could be no
question as to revenue until Congress meet and
new laws shall be enacted.
For one, he pray-I-14a the present federal
government according to the spirit of the con
stitution to any other. He believed thus ad
;ministered it was the best on earth. He in
herited and all his life had cherished an
habitual and cordial attachment to the consti
tutional Union, and would be willing any day
to die for it. While be thus believed he also
believed that administered in the absence of
the spirit of a constitution it becomes the worst
on earth. He would never sacrifice municipal
police and State sovereighty to the federal
union. His opinion was that the federal goy.
ernmettt cannot be restored or preserved on
the principles which brought the dominant
party into power. He believed they have
perverted the constitution, and their principles
and policy inflict not only injury but degrada
tion on nearly one half the States of the Union.
Without going through all the declaration of
their principles, he would merely refer to a
portion of the Chicago platform, which lie was
sorry to hear President Lincoln say was the
law to him and his friends. The eighth section
says the normal condition of all the Territories
is that of freedom, and denies that either
Congress or a Territorial legislature, or any
individuals, can give legal existence to slavery
therein. So abhorrent to this political party
is the idea of property in a slave, or the labor
of a slave, that although the institutions of
fifteen States are founded upon it, they declare
as a fundamental principle, that neither Con
gress nor a Territorial legislature, nor individ
uals, have power to give legal existence to it.
There was an impassable gulf between your
principles and those on which the whole body
of the Southern people stands. The opinion,
not to say decision of the Supreme Court, shows
that slavery in the Territories is entitled to
protection. •
lie took it for granted the States which re
cognize property in slaves will not consent to
remain united with other States which deny
the existence of property in the Territories,
and deny that it is entitled to protection in the
common domain of all the States. The ques
tion is to be settled in terms of eqUality, or
you never can re-unite the seceded States or
hold' the slave States now in the Union. He
expressed his confident belief that the slave
holdng States never will consent that the non
slaveholding States shall monopolize the whole
of this great inheritance. They have a title:to
a part of it by constitutional right, by money
and by blood. As an eminent Senator not now
here said "that the Southern States paid a part
of the money when money was its price. They
paid a part of the blood when blood was the
price. And they never will permit themselves
to be excluded from a share in this imperial
inheritance, which belongs to all the States ;
they will never consent to be hemmed in and
kept in a conditien in which they cannot ex
pand." Whatever may be the settlement of
other questions, this must be settledin common
with their rights under an equitable diviSion
of the same. They will contend to the last.
The government must be impartial. The pre
sent dangers were foreseen by the men of the
North. Patriotic men in Congress offered res
olutions and delivered speeches urging a satis
factory settlement. He repeated that the peo
ple of the North saw the danger. Those of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and of the great States in
the valley of the Ohio and elsewhere, poured:
in their petitions to adjust the difficulties on
terms of equality, but the Memberi of the dom
inant party here and in the other House, with
stubborn incredulity as to the result, were de
termined to make no change in the platform of
the party—they refused to recede one inch.
They would not meet those on the other side
one half or one quarter of the way on the basis
of settlement, when the Senate committee of
thirteen was raised, composed of representative
men from all parts of the Union, the dominant
party was fully and ably represented.
After conferring for weeks they were unable
to agree,on a single proposition. In looking
at the proceedings of that committee, he was
