REMARKS OF
Mr. Tate, oi" CoSiiinlii.i.
Delivered in the House of Heprcs'ntrUivcs,
on the I'M of March, 1602, on the r -peal
of bill, entitle I "An Act for the
Commutation of 'lbnnagc Duties.''
Mr. TATE rose aud said :
Mr. Speaker, when I took my scat
upon this floor, in tho halls of legislation,
ovur two months since, it was not for the
purpose of coiumning precious timo in the
discussion of every subject that might come
before the House, but with tho determi
nation of attendipg to the wants of my
constituents, and carefully guarding the
intercuts of the Commonwealth. Gentle
man here will bear me honorable testimo
ny, that in tho discharge of my official
duties as a member of this House, I have
at least endeavored to attend closely to
the public business, and havo avoided all
I encroachment upon their patience in speech
1 making. Looking to the paramount obli
. liavo tho pooplo petitioned for it ? I nn
; ewer yes 1 They havo petitioned in thun
der tonc3 through tho ballot-box, and wo
aro hero to honor their petitions. And in
tho htnguago of Gen. McOlollan, when tho
day of retribution arrived, which was up
on tho eighth of October last, "thunder
was heard all around tho sky." This fact
is known, and will bo long remember
ed by many nnfaituful representatives of a
conGding and generous people. Terriblo
and emphatic was tho verdict of condem
nation given by many an injured commu
nity, May I not admonish gentlemen
on the other side, to stand from under the
crushing wheels of this modern Juggernaut
if they would avoid tho moral burial that
knows no political resurrection. The peo-.
pie aro ever jealous of their rights; let
then their servants practice houcsty aud
fidelity ,that they may ayoid tho usual im
putation of the maxim, which says :
"lie wlindlshnuctt is in llltln things,
Would bo a villain in the court ofliinjj."
Mr. Speaker, I am hear for tho first
and I expect for tho last timo, in tho ca
pacity of a legislator. Elected by my loy
al fellow citizens, for tho purpose of rcprc
senting their wishes and interests, among
which arc tho agreeable duties of main
taining tho Government, upholdiug tho
Constitution and suppressing rebellion.
That duty once performed, and it shall
not fail for want of my humblo influence,!
will in the good providouco of God, retire
to my homo and resign the delegated trust
with which I havo been honored, into tho
hands of my constituents. And, in after

Tlio Navy Dopartmont undor
Gov. Toucoy.
Tho Hoiu Isano Toucoy has been re
peatedly charged by tho Republicans, with
having sont abroad tho vessels of thoNnvy
for tho purposo of aiding secession. Sen
ator Sumner said, in a speech delivered in
New York, last November :
"Tho Navy was so far dispersed or dis
mantled, that on tho -1th of March, when
tho new administration camo into power,
thcro woro no ships to enforco the laws,
collect tho revenues, or protect tho Nation
al property in tho rebel ports. Out of 72
vessels of war, then counted as our Navy,
it appears that our wholo available force
at homo woro reduced to tho steamer
Brooklyn, carrying 25 guns, and tho store
ship Relief, carrying 2 guns."
Tho Senate, at tho extra session of Con
grcss, appointed a select committeo to in
vestigate tho affairs of tho Navy, and Sen
ator John P. Halo, of Now Hampshire,
was appointed the chairman. Among
other witnesses summoned by this commit
t2o was the Hon. Isaac Toucoy. Ho re
paired to Washington and gave his testi
mony, under oath, to tho committee, on
tho 18th of November last. Ho was
questioned with regard t$ tho disposal of
tho naval vessels under his direction, and
ho testified as follows :

tho once occ.ipancy of John Hancock, in
which ho was seated when ho appended his
Cumberland arrived there before tho navy

safety of the yard. I tool: tho precaution

bill, entitled "An act to repeal an act for
the commutation of tonnago duties."
From Harrisburg Personal
Liberty Bill.
Tho "unknown" correspondent of the
Philadelphia Journal writes as lollows
from Ilarriiburg on tho -ith of March :
"Mr. Tate offered a bill -yesterday,
which proposes to repeal tho sixty-seventh
and sixty-ninth sections of tho penal codo
of tho croat corporation known as .tho
Pennsylvania railroad company. And
that was only the iuitiativo in tho gigantic
swiudlc upon the tax payers of Pcnusyl
vania, over eight thousand dollars of whioh
sum is paid annually by Columbia county,
Millions upon millions ir.oro of the peoplo's
money ,now and hcrcafter,will bo diverted
J'rom its legitimate channel, and, as a so
quenco, be applied in aid of this soulless
corporation for the oppression of our suff.
cring fellow citizens.
Mr. Speaker, I am hero to defend, to
tho best of my poor ability, tho interests
of tho honest pooplo of tho country.
Amongst thoso, I am happy to class my
imuicdiato constituents, tho people of Co
lumbia and Montour. And my colleaguo,
(Mr. Tutton,) has tho ability, and I doubt
not will promptly vindioato tho honor of
tho people of Wyoming and Sullivan.
Sir, Iihall not stop hero to urguo tho
constitutionality of tho repeal of an admit
odly unjust and injurious act of legislation.
Yicwing.it from tho stand-point of com
mon sonso, aud acting, in accord anco with
tho unmistakcablo tono of publio opinion
at homo and abroad I am at a loss to
ccnccivo how any gentleman hero can for
a moment hesitato giving this net, which is
intouded to repeal tho act of last session,
his unconditional support. Legal gontle
mcn hero who have labored so assiduously
to clog its pnssago, by constitutional .tech
nicalities, with au ingenuity deserving a
bettor causo, had belter, in tho judgment
of chanty, divost it of its vorbiage, and
ccaso tho attempt to further thwart publio
sentiment and defeat common justice
Early in tho mssien, my cstimablo fricud
from Philadelphia, (Mr. Dennis) inquired
who demanded tho repoal of this bill
should occasion require it. Tho Home
Squadron was unusually largo. It con
sisted of tho Powhatan, Sabine, Brooklyn,
St. Louis, Pociihoutas Pawnee, Mohawk,
Water Witch, Wyandotte, Crusader,
Cumberland, Macedonian, Supply most
of them steamships. Tho sloop of war
Plymouth, tho practice ship, was in con
dition at Norfolk.
Tho ptoamcr Auacosta was in commiss
ion at Washington. Tho frigate Consti
tution, having been thoroughly repaired,
was anchored at Annapolis, in aid of tho
Navy Academy. The groat steamships
Colorado, Minnesota and Mississippi, at
Boston, and the Wabash at New York, had
been thoroughly repaired and secured, and
could bo put to sea in two weeks ; tho
Sho was then at Portsmouth, N. II,, roady
for sea, with her officers and men on board,
carrying 22 guns. On tho Oth of Janu
ary I ordered tho frigate Sabine to Pcn
sacola. The order was given on that day.
She was at Vera Oruz, aud carried CO
guns. On tho 8th of January 1 issued an
order to tho Crusader, at Pcnsacola, whero
oho had gono for repairs, to proceed to
Tortugas, and on tho arrival of tho troops
which had been sent thcro, to return im
mediately ta Pcnsacola.
On tho 3d of January I issued au order
to Commodoro Armstrong, then in com
mand of tho navy yard at Pcnsacola,
prompting him to bo vigilant to protect tho
publio property, and to cq-opcrate with
Fort Baraucas. Tho order was .received
by him on tho 8th of January. On tho
12th he surrendered the navy yard to a
regiment of armed men, whq demanded it
in the name of tho State of Florida. For
this ho was tried and condemned by court-
martial. After tho surrender of tho navy
yard, tho great object was to defend Fort
Pickens. Tho Sabine, St. Louis and AIa
ccdoniau woro there. Tho fctoamcr Wy
andotte, carrying five guns, was thero do
ing effectivo service. Tho storoship Sup
ply was thero doing good service, and was
ordered to remain there.
The Brooklyn carrying twenty-five guns
was ordered thcro with a company from
Fortress Monroo. Sho arrived thcro ear
ly in February. Tho Supply left Pcnsa.
cola with prisoners and the families of of
ficers from New York, in violation of her
orders,for which her commander was tried
aud condemned by cout martial. Tho Cru
sader missed her orders. When tho
lirooklyu, the Sabine, the Maccdonian,thc
St. Louis and tho Wyandotte wcro lying
behind J?ensacola, thcro being a larger
force than was necessary, tho St. Louis,
whoso term cf service had expired, was
ordered to New York.
Whether her orders had reached her on
the 4th of March I am not able to say.
The fleet before Fort Pickens could havo
thrown' 000 men iuto tho Fort, without in
eluding tho company from Fortress Mon
roe.
This evidence, so direct and given with
so much detail, naming, oven, tho vessels
of tho homo squadron, and the vessels scut
to Southern ports for the purposo of pro
ttctiug the National property, most com
pletely refutes tho charge) mado by Sena-
Many officers and men, having only
slight wounds, having returned to their
regiments, and many officers havo not yet
reported, being in private quarters ; honco
tho list is not yet complete.

The following is Major Gen Banks' gen

The Commanding General of tho Fifth

soldiers of Gen. Bhiclds' Division, and es

It may not be improper to state iu this

theso was the Saratoga sent to tho coast of

features in their legislative history. I say
this, not becauso tho negro is involved in
tho qucstiou, but becauso it was tho be
ginning of a system which was to end iu
a complete ignoring of tho Acts of Con
gress, and a violation of tho rights of the
people of the Etatcs.
If philanthropy could induce a people
toignoro tho laws, fundamental or statute,
of tho country, ihoro is no tolling to what
oxtcnt rascality in tho shape of humanity
would induco them to go. On 0 violation,
however laudable, will induco anothcr.aud
that ono other, until at last tho laws will
bo respected nor oboyed, and if Congress
in the exorciso of thodegislativo power
n it, passes a law, let it not bo iguorcd by
any Stato cuactmonts. It is, so loug as it
remains unrepealed, tho law of tho land,
and must bo oboyed. A pooplo who vio
late law, soon looso their stauding among
tho nations of tho earth. If thoy do not
respect their own laws, they cannot expect
other pcoplo to respect them of their laws.
Rebclliou always arises from tho encroach
incuts of tho powerful on tho rights cf tho
weak, and from tho inauguration of doo
triues at variance with tho laws of our
government. Lot us first placo oursolves

Why the Difference ? The first filing
that has been heard of Hannibal Hamlin
since his election as Vico President of this
country, was his evacuation of his scat as
tho presiding officer of the U. S. Senate,
for tho purpeso cf coming forward to tako
by tho baud and welcome on the floor of
tho Senate Wendell Phillips, tho chief
Diiunionis t of the North.
Hamlin evidently has not forgotten the
words of Philips iu 1850, as follow :
"There is merit iu tho Republican par
ty. It is tho first sectional party over or
ganized in the country. It is the North
arrayed against tho faoutu. Ihourst eracl:
in the iceberg is visible. You will yet
hear it go with a crash through tho centre."
This is tho man who is welcomed with
distinguished and very unusual marks cf
honor by tho Vice President.
