At a stroke it would tako all the trouble

't recognizes no fidelity to tho Constltu
i, no obligation to maintain tho Union,
v i vhilo very many who havo favored it
ro doubtless loyal, it is nevertheless very
itn-iousin effect. Recurring to tho action
UiO government, it may bo stated that
' first a call was made for 70,000 milita,
i, l rapidly following this a proclamation
i i .1.- - r 1 1 . i
uneotionary districts by proceedings in
iuo nature of a blockade So far, all was
'.olioved to be strictly legal.
At this point tho insurrectionists ann
ounced their purpose to enter upon tho
jraclico of privateering. Other calls wero
lo for volunteers to servo three years,
uiiiws sooner diiotiarged, and also for largo
lUditions to the regular army and navy.
'iic moasures, whether strict'y legal or
not, wero ventured upon what appeared to
ho a popular demand and a publio necess
ity trusting then as now that Congress
. puld, readily ratify them. It is believed
,nat nothing has been dono beyond the
constitutional competency of Congress.
Soon after tho first call for milita it was
considered a duty to authorise tho com
manding General in proper case, according
to his discrcetion, to suspend tho privilege
of tho writ of habeas corpus : or iu othor
words, to arrest and detain, without resort
to the ordinary process and forms of law,
such individuals as ho might doom danger
ous to tho publio safety, llns autiionty
has' purposely been exercised but very
snarinsrlv. Nevertheless, tho locality and
propriety of what has been dono under it
are questioned, .and tho attention of the
country has' been called to the proposition
that ono who U sworn to tako caro that the
laws bo faithfully executed, should not
himself violate them.
Of course some consideration was given
to tho questions of power and proprioty bo
fore this matter was acted on. Tho whole
of tho laws whieh wero required to bo faith
fully executed, wero being resisted and fail
ing of execution in nearly one third of the
Statea. Must tbey bo allowed to finally fail
of execution, even had it been perfectly
clear that by tho uso of tho means necessa
ry to their oxecution some singlo law, made
in ...M. vitrnma tenderness of tho citizens'
libelty that practicallyit relieves moro of
the guilty tnan oi iuo innucuui, iaui m
a very limited extent be violated ? To state
tlio question more directly, are all tho laws
not one logo unexocuieu, au mo u,cu
nral itsMf po to nieces, lest that ono be vi
looted ! Even in such a caso would not the
official oath be broken if the government
should bo overthrown, when it was beliovcd
that disregarding tho single law would Und
lo preserTO it? ,
Hat it was not bliovcd that this question
was presented. It was not believed thai
any law was violatod. Tho .provisions of
J r. ... .1.- 'Ifl - -1 .1.-
ine ironsiiuiOTon mat iuo pnvnuu ui un
writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspendod
unless in cases of rebellion or invasion the
publio safety may requiro it, is equivalent
to a provision that such privilege may ho
imanended when in cases of rebellion or in
vasion tho nubile safetv does require it. It
was decided that wo have a case of rebellion
and that tho public safety does roquiro tho
qualified suspension of the privilege of the
writ, which was authorized to be made.
Now it i9 insisted that Conzress and not
tho Executive, is vested with this power.
But the Constitution itsolt is silent as to
which or'who is to oxerciso the power, and
m ilia nrovision was plainly made for a dan
gerous emergency, it cannot be bolioved that
thaframers of tho instrument intended that
in every ease the danger should run its
course until Congress could bo called togeth
er, tho very assembling of which might bo
prevented, as was intended in this caso by
the rebellion.
No more extended argument is now otter
r 3, as an opinion at some length will proba'
hlv ho presented by the Attorney'Gcneral,
Whether there shall bo any legislation upon
the subicct. and if any, what, is submitted
entlrclv to the bettor iudzment of Congress
The forbearaneo of this govornmsnt has
been so extraordinary and so long continued
as to lead 60ine foreign nations to shape
their action as if they supposed the early
destruction of our national Union was prob
able. While this, on discovery, gavo the
Executive some concern, ho is now happy to
eay that the sovereignty and rights of tho
ITnitftil Stntpn nra now eveivwhoro practi
cally respected by foreign I'owors und a
ccneral sympainy wun mo cuumry io w
ifnsteil throughout the world.
Tho reports of tho Secretaries of tho
Treasury, War and Navy, will givo tho in-
tormation in ueiail aoomeu necessary auu
convenient for vour deliberation and action,
while the Executive and all the Departments
will stand ready to supply omissions, or to
communicate new facts considered import
ant for you to know.
It is now recommended that you give tho
legal means for making this contest a short
and decieivo one j that you plaeo at tho con
trol of the government for the work at least
400,000 men and ?4CO,000,000. That num
ber of men is about ono-tenth of those of
proper ages withiu the regions were appar
ently all are willing to engngo, and the sum
is less than tho twenty-third part of the
money Taluo owned by tho men who seem
ready to dovoto tho whole.
A dobt of $000,000,000 now is a loss sum
per head than was the debt of our own Rev
olution when we came out of that struggle,
and tlio money valuo iu tho country now
boars evon a greater proportion to what it
was then than does tho population. Surely
each man has as strong a motive now to pro
servo our liberties as each had then to estab
lish them J A right result at this time will
be worth moro to the world than ten times
tho men and ten times tho money. Tho ev
idence reaching us from the country leaves
no doubt that material for tho work is a-
bundant, nnd that it needs only the hand of
legislation to give it legal sanction, anil the
hand of the Executive to give it practical
linnn nnd efficiency.
Ono of tho groatest perplexities of the
government is to avoid receiving troops fast
er than provided for them. In a word, the
naonle will eave their government, if the
government itself will do its part only indif.
ferentlv well. It might seem, at first tho't,
to be of little difference whether the present
movement nt the south be called secession
or rebellion. The movers, however, well
understand the difference. At tlio begin
ning they know they could never raise their
treason to any respectable magnitude br nny
name which impiioo ,-iuiuwuu ,t. mj
know their people possessed as much of mor
al annsn. tin much of devotion to law and or
der, and as much pride In and roverence for
the history anu govornmeni oi ineir com
.. nvt)ir civilized and pa-
comniencrd by an insidious debauching of
the publio, mind. They invented an ingen
ious BOphism which, 11 conceded, was, fol
lowed by perfectly lugicnl steps through all
the incidents tn tlio complete ucstruotinn of
the Union. Tho sophism itself is that any
Stato of tho Union may, consistently with
tho national Constitution, nnd therefore law
fully and peacefully, withdraw from tho
Union, without tho consent of tho Union, or
of any other State. The littlo disguiso.that
tho supposed right is to bo oxerciscd only
fur a just cause, because thoy themselves aro
to bo tho solo iudgss of its justice, is too
thin to merit nny notice.
With rebellion thus sugar-coated, thov
have been drugging tho public mind of thoir
section for moro than thirty years, and un
til at length thoy havo brought many good
men to n willingness to tako up arms against
tho government tho day niter iiimi assem
blags of men have enacted tho farcical pro
teose of taking their Stato out uf the Union,
who could have brought to no such thing tho
dav before This sophism derives much,
perhaps tho wholo of its currency, from tho
assumption that thero is somo omnipotent
and sacred supremacy pertaining to a Dime,
to oach Stato of our Federal Union. Our
States havo neither moro nor less power
than that reserved to them in the Union by
tho Constitution no ono of them ever having
been a Stato out of the Union. The origi
nal ones passed into the Union even bofore
thoy east nu tnoir uriiisn comniai ucpenu
ence, and the new ones each came into the
Union directly from a condition of depend
ence, excepting Texas -, and even Texas, in
its temporary inaepenuence, whs novur uw
ignated a Stato. Tho now onos only took
tlio designation of States on coming Into the
Union J whilo that namo was first adopted
for the old ones in and by tno Declaration oi
Indenendeuce. Tlierciu tho United Colonies
wero declared to be frco and independent
States.
But even then tho object was plainly not
to doclaro their indepeuconco of odo anoth
er, or of the Union, but directly the contra
ry,' as their mutual pledgo nnd thoir mutual
action bofore, nt the time, and afterwards,
abundantly show. Tho express plighting
of faith, by each and all of tlio original
thirteen, in the artitles df confederation,
two years later, that "tho Union slnll bo
perpetual, is most conclusive. Having
never been States, either in substance or
in nnmc, outsido of tho Union, whence this
magical omnipotence of Stato rights, assert
ing a claim of power to lawfully destroy the
Union itself? Much is said about tho sov
ereignty of the States, but the word even is
not in tue ntuiontu v.uumuuuuu, uur i id
bolioved, in any of the Stato Constitutions.
What is a sovereignty in tho political senso
of the term ? Would it bo far wrong to de
fino it "a political community without a po
litical superior ? " Tested by this, no one
of our States, except Texas, over was a sov
ereignty, aud even Texas gave up the char
actor on coming into the Union, by which
uct sho acKnowlougcd mo uonsutuuon oi
tho United States, and tho laws of tho Uni
ted Shitos. mado in pursuance of tho Con
stitution, to bo for her tho supremo 1iw of
the land. The States havo their status in
the Union, and they havo no other legal
status. ,If they break from this, they can
only do so against law and by revolution.
The Union and not tlienxelvus scpiratod,
procured their independence and their lib
erty. By conquest or purchase, the Union
gave oach of them whatever of indepen
dence and liberty it has.
The Union is older than nny of the States,
and in fact, it created them as States. Ori
ginally, 60MO dependent colonies nt.ulc tho
Union, and, in turn, tho Union threw off
their old dependence for them, and nude
them States, such as they aro ; not ono of
them ever had a Stale Constitution indepen
dent of tho Union. Of course it is not for
gotten that all tho new States framed their
Constitutions bofore thoy entered tho Union;
nevertheless dependent upon, and prepara
tory to coming into tho Union. Unquestion
ably tho States havo tho powers and rights
reserved to them in nnd by the national Con
stitution ; but among those, surely, are not
included all conceivable powers, however
mischievous or destructive, but at most such
only as wero known in the world at tho time
as governmental powers, and certuinly a
power to destroy the government itself was
never known as a governmental or merely
administrative power.
This relative matter of national power
and Stato rights as a principle, is no other
than tho principlo of generality and locality.
Whatever concerns tho whole should bo con
fided to tho whole, to the general govern
ment; while whatever couccrns ouly the
State should be left exclusively 'to the "State.
This is all thero is of original principle about
it. Whether the national Constitution, in
defining boundaries between tho two, has
applied the principle with exact accuracy,
not to ho questioned. We are aNo hound
by that defining without question. What i
now combatted is the position that secession
is consistent with tho Constitution, is law
ful nnd peaceful. It is not contended that
thero is any express law for it, and nothing
should ever bo implied as law which leads
to unjust or absurd consequences.
The nation purchased with money the
countries out of which several of these
States were formed. Is it just that they
ehall go off without leavo aud without re
funding? The nation paid very largo sums
in the aggregate, I believe, a hundred
millions to relievo Florida of the aborigi
nal tribes, is it just that she shall now go
off without consent or without making any
return ? The nation is now iu dobt for mon
ey annltod to the benefit of those so-called
seceded StateB in common with tho rest, Is
it just either that creditors shall go unpaid,
or the remaining States puy tho wholo?
l'art of tho present national debt was con
tracted to nav tho old debts of Texas. Is
it just that she shall leava and pay no part
of this herselt ?
Again, if ono State may secede, so may
another, and when all shall have seceded,
none is left to nav the debts. Is this quite
just to creditors? Did we notify tlioin of
this sage view ot ours when we uorrowea
their money ? If we now recognize this
doctrine by allowing tho seceders to go in
poace, it is difficult to seo what we can do if
others choose to go, or to extort terms upon
which thoy will promise to remain.
Tho seceders insist that our Constitution
admits of ecccssion. Thoy having assumol
to make a national constitution of their owji,
in which, of necessity, they have eithei dis
carded or retained tho right of secession, as
thoy insist it exists in ours, if they havo
discarded it, they thereby admit that on
(irinciple it ought not to be in ours. If they
lavo retained it, by theirown construction of
ours, they show that to bo consistent they
must secedo from one another whenever they
shall find it the easiest way of suttling their
debts, or effecting any other selfish or unjust
object. The principle itself is one of disin
tegration, upon which no government can
eudure.
If all tho States savo one should assert
the power to drivo that one oat of the Union,
it is presumed the wholo class of eeeeder
politicians would at once deny the power
nnd denounce the act as tho gre ute-it outrage
upon Stato rights. But suppoio that pre
cisely the same act, instead of being ca lied
driving the one out, should be called the se
ceding of the others from that ono, it would
be exactly what tho seceders (laim to do,
unless, indeed, they make tho point that the
ono, because it is r. minority, may rightful
ly do what the others, because they are a
mj 'tity, may not rightfully do. These
politicians aro subtle and profound on the
' ' u gt Tturiial to
It may well to qnp-limed whet'ii-r then)
is, tn day, a majority of the letfitlly qmilitlud
vcitorn nf any State, except, pi-ilm S nth
U.iridln'n, in favor uf disunion Tucro i
much reason to belli" ve that th" Utn.m men
tire tho majority in many, if not in every
other ono ol the so called secedeu Siiit;.
As tho contrary has not been demonstrated
in any uno of them, it is ventured to ullirui
this even of Yirgiuia and Tennessee, for tho
result of au election hold in military camps,
whero the bayonets wero nil on Ono side cf
the question voted upon, can scarcely bo
considered as a demonstration of popular
sentiment. At such an election all that
largo class who are not at onco for tho Union
and against coercion, Mould ho coerced to
voto against tho Union.
It may bo affirmed, without extravagance,
that the free institutions wo enjoy havo do
veloped tho power nnd improved tho condi
tion ot our wnoio people noynna any exinn- i
pie in tho world. Of this we now havo a I
striking and impressivo illustration. So I
large an army as tho government has now I
on foot was never before known, without a j
soldier in it hut who hud taken his plaeo
there of his own free choice. I
But mcro than this. Thero aro many ro- I
gimonts whoso members, ono nnd nnother,
possess full practical knowledge of all the I
arts, sciences, professions, and whatever
else, whether useful or elegant, is known in
the world; and thero it scarcely one from
which thero could not be selected a Presi
dent, a Cabinet, a Congrcts, or perhaps a
Court, abundantly competent to ailinininpr
tho government itself. Nor do I nny this
is not ti'jc also in the doings of our lute
friends, now adversaries, in this contest.
llut if it is, so much tho belter the reason
why the government, which bus oonfrrred
such benefits itn hath them nnd us, should
not be bnilen up. Whoever, in nny soction,
nroposos to abandon such a government,
would do well to consider in deference to
what principle it is that ho docs it -, what
better ho is likely to get in its stead ; wheth
er tho substitute will give, or bo intended
to give, so much of good to tho people.
There are somo fore-sh idowings on this sub
ject. Our adversaries have adopted some
dt'elurations uf independence, iu which, un
liko tho good old one penned by Jefferson,
they omit tho words, "All men aro eruatcd
equal." Why f They have adopted a tem
porary national constitution, in tho pro rim
ble uf whieh, unlike our good old one, sign
od by Washington, they omit "We, the peo
ple," aud Hubstituto "We, the deputies of
tho sovereign and independent States."
Why? Why this dcliliorato pruning out ol
view the rights of men and the authority of
the people!
This is essentially a peoplo's contest. On
the side of the Union it is a struggle for
maintaining iu the world that form and
substance of government whose leaiiiu ob
ject is ti elevate the condition of men ; to
lift artificial weights from all shoulders; to
clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all;
to afford all an unfettered start, and a fair
chanco in the race of life. Yielding t par
tial and temporary departures from nece'-.
sity, this is the leading object of the gov
ernment for whose existence we contend.
I am most happy to beliore that the phin
psople understand and appreciate this. It
is worthy tf note that while, in this the
government's hour of trial, large number
of those in the arm an I navy who have
been favored with the i tfiees hav resigned
nnd prni cd false to the hand uhieli had
pnmperel them, not one common sollisror
common sailor is known to hae deserted
his flag. Great honor is due to those officers
who remained true, despite the example of
their treacherous associates. Hut the great
est honor, and most important fact uf all,
is the unanimuiis firmness uf the common
soldiers and common siilors. To the la-t
man, so far as known, they have pucca.ssfub
ly resisted the traitorous ell oris or those
whose commands but an hour before they
obeyed as absolute law. They understand,
without any argument, that the destroying
of tho government which was made by
Washington means no good to them.
Our popular government, has often been
called an exporimeut. Two points in it our
people have already sottled the successful
establishing, and the successful administer
ing of it. One still remains. Its success
ful maintenance agalust a formidable inter
nal attempt to overthrow it. It is for them
to demonstrate to the world that those who
can fairly carry an election can also sup
press a rebellion ; that ballots are the right
ful and peaceful successors of bullets, and
that when ballots havo fairly and constitu
tionally decided there can be no successful
appeal back to hullcts ; that there can be no
successful appeal except to ballots them
selves nt succeeding elections. Such will
bo a great lesson of peace, teaching men
that what they cannot take by an election
neither can they take by war, teaching nil
the folly of being the beginners of war.
Lest thero be 6ome uneasiness in the
minds ol candid men as to what is to be the
courso of tho government towards the
southern States after thn rebellion shall have
been suppressed, the Executive deems it
proper to say it will he his purpose then,
as ever, ta be guided by tho Constitution
and the laws, ami that ho probably ill
nivo no dilti'rcnt understanding ot the pow
crs and duties of the Federal government
r datively to the rights of the States and
p-ople under the Constitution than express
ol in tho inaugural address.
Ho desires to oresorve tho government
that it may be nuministcred to all as it wa
administered by tho men who made it.
Loyal citizens ovorywhore havo the right to
claim this of their government, and the
government has r.n right to withhold or
neglect it. It is not perceived that in giv
ing it thero is nny coercion, any conquest
or subjugation iu any just sense of thoso
terms,
The Constitution provides, nnd all tho
Stales havo accepted the provision, that tho
United States shall guarantee to every Stato
in this Union a Uepuhlicaii form of govern
ment, llut if a state may lawfully go out
of the Union, having done so, it may also
discard the republican form of government;
so that, to prevent its going nut, it is all
indispensable to useovery means to the end
of maintaining the guaranty. When an
end is lawful and obligatory the indispen
sable means to obtain it are also lawful arl
obligatory,
It was with tho deepest regret that the
