Curtis, Before the City Council and Citizens of ■Dost on, nt the Academy of Music, July 4th , 1802. L Concluded, j Now it seems to me, endeavoring as I do to repress all merely vain and useless regrets for what is- passed, and ta find some safe principle of action for the pres ent and future, that there is one thought on which the people of the United States should steadily lix their attention. We have seen that our National Union has had three distinct stages; The first was the union formed by sending delegates to the ({evolutionary Congress, and by a general submission to the measures adopted by that body for the common defence. The second was the closer league of the Con federation, the powers of which were de fined by a written charter. The third was the institution ot a government proper, with sovereign but enumerated powers, under the Constitution. Non- I infer, from what I see of.some of the currents of pub lic and private opinion, that many persons entertain a vague expectation that the military operations now necessarily carried ! Oil by the Federal Government will result in the creation of new civil relations, a new Union and a new Constitution of some kind, they know not what. He would be a very bold and a very rash man who should undertake to predict what new Constitution can follow a civil war in a great country like. this. But, looking back to the commencement of our national ex istence. wo see that there never has been a change ill the form of the Union; then never has been a new acquisition of politi cal power by the central government, j w hich has been-gained bv force. Such additions of foreign territory as tve have obtained by arms or treaty have merely increased the area of the I'nion, hut they have not augmented the political powers ot the Government in the smallest degree iho inhabitants of those regions have come into the Union subject to the same powers to which we, who were original parties to the formation of the Constitu tion, have always beeu subioct, and to no others. Ihe national authority has never gained the slightest i’lerenre of its political powers bv force of arms. In every stage in v;hieh its powers have been augmented, the increase has been gained bv the free, voluntary consent of the people of each State, without ; oercion ef any kind. I This consideration certaiuiy affords no reason why the Government of the United i States should not vindicate its just author ity under the Constitution, over the whole oi its territory, by military power. The right of the Government of this Union to exercise the powers embraced in the Con stitution rests, I repeat, npou a voluntary, j irrevocable cession of those powers by the [ people of each .Stale: ami no impartial j publicist in the world will deny that the : right to put down all military or other re sistance to the ext r ise of these powers resis upon a jusi and perlecl title. This j title is founded on a public g-ant. But when von come to the idea of ac- ' quiring other and further powers by ilie exercise of force, you come to a very dif-! iei'f nt question, iuu ;lieu have to con sider wliether a people whose civil policy, is founded on the title given by consent — who have never known or admitted any other rule of action than that expressed in the maxim that "-governments derive their just powers from lire consent of the gov" erned”—ran proceed to found any new political powpis ou a military conquest over a rebellion, without changing the whole character of their institutions. For my own part, with the best reflection I have been able to eive to this momentous subject, 1 have nev.-r beeu able to see how a majority nt tire American people cull proceed to acquire by military subjugation, orby military means, or maxims, any neir authority over tile people or institutions of any .State or class of. Slates, without falling back upon the same kind of tille ns that by whiek William of Normandy and his descendants'acquired and held the ihrone of Kngland. That title was fom.d-d on the sword. Perhaps there are some who will say, if this is to be the issue let it come. 1 can have no argument with those who are pre pared to accept, or who wish for this issue. AH that 1 know or expect in this world oi what may he called civil happiness, is staked on the preservation of our republi caq constitutional freedom. If others are prepared to yic-bl it; if others are willing to barter it for the doubly hn/aidous ex periment of obtaining control over the destiny of a race not now subject to out sway, or dependent on our responsibility it others are ready to change th e founda tion ot our b moil from free public char ters to new authorities obtained by milita ry subjugation—l cannot follow them I shall bear that result, if it comes, with such resignation as may he given to mo. But you will pardon me, it, with my humble efforts, I yel endeavor to sustain those, be they many or few,who faithfully Eeek to carry us to’ the end of these great perils with the whole system of our civil liberties unimpaired. You will still, I trust, give every honest man the ireedom to struggle to the last for that in estimable principle, on which the very au thority of your government to demand the obedience of all its citizens wns founded by those who created it. The object for which we are urged by some to put in imminent hazard the foun dation principle of our federal system is, emancipation of the slaves of the South.— No one can be less disposed than myself to undervalue the capacity of my country men to do a great many things—and to do them successtnlly. One would suppose, however, that a proposition to effect a sweeping change in the condition of four millions of the laboring peasantry of a great region of country, and to do it in al most total ignorance of the methods in which that particular race can be safelv dealt with, so as to produce any good', would be a proposition upon which even our self confidence would be likely to pause. ' One would suppose that such an idea might suggest an inquiry into the limits of human responsibility. It is not allowed among sonnd moralists, that there is any rule which authorizes a statesman to undo an original wrong,at the imminent hazard of doing another wrong, as great or greater, and there is no rule of moral obligation for a statesman that is not ap plicable to the conduct of a people. Setting aside, then,' for a moment, all idea of constitutional restraint, let me put it to each one of you to ask himself how many persons there are in all the North, on whose judgement you would rely for a reasonably safe determination as to what ought to be done with slavery, having a single view to the welfare of that face Of course I do not speak of disposing of a tew hundred individuals, but of general m “? nres or movements, affecting four millions of your fellow-creatures. It-has been my fortune, in the course of life, to know a few truly great statesmen in this Northern latitude, and to know man? “•tWWM for "ljjbHi* PITTSBURGH, THIKSIIAI MORXINO, JULY 11, 1862. race I should have profound respect. But I nave never seen the man, born, educated and living awav from contact with slavery as it exists in the South, whom I could re gard as competent to determine what rad ical changes ought to be made in the con dition of a race of whom all that we yet know evinces their present incapacity to become self-sustaining and self-dependent. In such a case, it appeals to me a very plain moral proposition, that onr Maker has not cast upon us the responsibility of becoming His agents in the premises. But it further appears to me that, in this cause, ho has surrounded my moral responsibili ty with other limitations which I cannot transcend. If the order of civil society in which I am placed imposes on me an ob ligation to refrain from acting on the af fairs of others; if I cannot break that obli gation without destroying the principle of a bemficent government and overturning the foundations of property; if I cannot use means which I am tempted to employ, wit hout danger of unspeakable wrong; or it the utter inefficacy of those meuns is apparent to me und to all men—what is my duty to Him who sets the moral bounds of all my actions '! It is to use those means, and those only, against which he fhas raised no such giganfic and insupera ble moral obstacles. That any valuable military allies can be found among the negroes otthe South; that any description ot government custody or charge of them can become more than a change of iUas ters,and that anything but w-eakness to the national cause results from projects that look to the acqusition of national power over their condition—are truths on which j the public mind appears to be rapidlv an j preaching a settled conviction. I add one word more upon this topic; and I doit for the purpose of saying,in the presence of this community, that any pro ject for arming the blacks against their masters deserves the indignant rebuke of every Christian in the land. When the descendants of those whom Chatham pro tected against ministerial employment of the Indian scalping knife so forget the civilization ol the ago and their own mmi hood as to sanction a greater atrocity, we may hang our heads in -Itame before the nations ot the earth. But there is another aspect of this mat ter, which it would be entirely wrong to overlook. The great army which has'rul lied with such extraordinary vigor and alacrity to the defence ol the' I'nion and the preservation of the Constitution— which has endured so much, and has ex hibited such heroic qualities—is uot a standing army of hired mercenaries. It is an army of volunteers, of citizen sol diers who have left their homes and enter el the serviceof their conntry, foruspeeiul purpose, which they distinctly understand, i'irmit me to say that vuu a're bound to remember this-nr, rather let me cast asute the language of exh< ration, and assert, m your name, that vuu remember It, with pride and exultation. The pur pose for which these men were asked to eider the public service was the protection ot the existing l. nitm and the existing Constitution troin attempts to overthrow or change them by organized violence: and that purpose is the most important element in their relation‘to the t.iovern ment. No other army in the world ever entered the service ot any power, with an understanding »o distinct, so peculiar, so cneumscrihed in respects to the objects for winch it was to be used; so directiv addressed to the mural sense and intelli gent judgment u! intelligent men. I ean uot doubt mat I speak (he sentiments ol tuue men out ».*t every ten in ihiacumtnuni* ly, when! «tt,y that to change that purpose, and to Uai; Limt army fur any ether fiid than th« (Jcleusc* ol tin* Constitution as il timl th* restoration of the I'liton uf mir torfMathers would U* a violation of th<* public faith li is now proposed to enlarge tlmt Hr ny by a hirther call for volunteers. Ut them come forth milking no conditions with the Government, for the Government has made its own conditions, aud has made them in aceoidance with the letter and the spirit ol the Constitution. The purposes and ob jects of the war. 113 declared in the begin ning, can never he changed, unless the people shall lie so untrue to themselves as to compel a change: anti when they do that they will be themselves responsible for the defeat of their own hopes. There is yet another topic on which, as it see ins to me, we ought carefully ami »o berlyto reflect. I mean the history of opinion concerning the nature of' the onion, and the causes which, from time to time, have produced disorganizing doc trines respecting it. But let me a 'sk yoit here not. to misunderstand me. 'l seek no occasion to fasten upon particular persons one or another measure of responsibility for what has occurred ; and therefore, in pursuance of a rule which I have imposed on myself in the preparation of this dis course, the name or designation of no liv ing man, in the North or in the South, will pass my lips this day. Whoever is well acquainted with the po litical history of this country, since the adoption of the Federal Constitution, must know that there have been developed at times certain strange opinions concern ing the nature of the Federal Union, the foundation of its authority, and the charac ter of the obligations which we owe to it In general, the people of the United States have been content to rest upon that theory respecting their Government which has al ways prevailed in its official administra tion, in whatever hands that administra tion has been lodged ; this theory being that the General Government holds cer tain direct and sovereign, bnt special, pow ers over the whole people, ceded to it by the voluntary grant of the people of each State. But a sense of injury in certain lo calities, springing from wrong supposed to have been committed or meditated by the ruling majority, or by those who at the time exercised the power of the majority, has not unfreqnently led men, here and elsewhere, to indulge in speculations and acts quite inconsistent with the only basis on which the Government can be said to have any real authority whatever. To enumerate all these occasions, or to recite the intemperate conduct that has attended them in periods of great excitement, is un necessary. But there is one of them which may serve as an ample illustration ot all that I desire to say on this special topic, It is commonly said-and with much logical tenth —that the doctrines of nullifi cation lead, by natural steps, to the doc trines of secession; and the late Mr. Cal houn, who'is justly considered as the pa tron, it not the author, of the former is also popularly regarded as the father’ of the latter. But it is important for us, in more aspects than one, that Mr. Calhoun aid not contemplate or desire a dissolution of the Union. He adopted a doctrine re specting it which does indeed lead, when consistently followed out, to what is called the constitutional right of secession; but he did. not . see this connection, or intend the consequence. There is reason to be lieve, that if his confidential correspond ence during the time of nullification shall ever see the light, it will be found that he was a sincere lover of the Union, and was wholly, unconscious that he was sowing, in the minds of those who were to come after him, seeds that were to bear a fatal fruit K FM jft tojKHNr at «*• timt to Ur* rested the career of the nnllifiers in South. Carolina, for to them his word was law; and if he had so done, he. would probably have been placed by his numerous, power ful, and attached friends, oat ot that State, in nomination at least for the highest office in the country. But what was it that led that subtle, acute, and generally logical intellect to embrace a theory respecting the Constitu tion which was entirely at variance with I the facts that attended its establishment ? The process was very simple with a mind of n highly metaphysical and absent turn. Mr. Calhoun had persuaded himself, con trary to an earlier opinion, that a protect ive tariff was an. unconstitutional exercise of power by the General Government, op pressive to South Carolina, and he cast about for a remedy. He saw no relief against this fancied wrong likely to come from a majority of Congress and the peo ; pie of the Union, and reasoning from the premises that the Constitution is a com pact between sovereign Staten, an intrac tion of which the parties can redress for themselves when all other remedy fails, he reached the astonishing conclusion that the operation ul an act of Congress may he arrested in any State by a State ordinance, when that State deems such an act an un constitutional exercise of power. But he always maintained that this was a remedy within the Union, and not an r<ct of revo lution. or violence, or secession. This memorable example of the mode in which opinion respecting the nature of our I-nion is atlected is fall ot instruction at the present time. But'iet no one misun derstand or misinterpret the lesson that I draw from it; and. that no one mav have an excuse torso doing, let me be us frank and explicit as my temporary relation to this audience demands. Ido not say that the course and result of the late Presiden tial election furnishes the least justification or excuse for what the South has done I have never believed that any circumstan ces ot a constitutional election could of theinrvlves nfiord a justification to any State, or any number of States, in with drawing from the Union. Neither do i say, or beiieve, that any condition of opin ion respecting a right to withdraw can af ford the slightest apology for that conduct on the part u! individual.--, in or nut of the i» respect to which there must always remain in every sound mind i. great residuum of moral condemnation N'l itlier do 1 doubt at all the existence of a long-cherished purpose on the part id some Southern political men to spire the first pretext tor br.-nking up the Union ef these States lsut. my c.ii/ni.', it doe* appear to m<*~rui'i tlorv :s prac.'ieai importance in the i:i:piir\. .rj i. h-n-nec? to a future n norutiMU *.t :j : ..

I i know not where in the- whole annoy cd :li«- union to look for it.

And so they went on doinjj their utmost In undermine all respect lor its obligations, to render of no kind of im portance the foundations on which its au . thonty rests. The more that public men in the North Ironi weukuc-ss, or ambition, or for the sake ol party success u-simiiated 'heir opinions ol tins lacuon, the more it became certain lira: il;.- mie ascendency nnii supremacy of tbe Cunstitution eonlii never be regained, without some enormous exertion ut popular energy, billowingsome newly enlightened condition ol popular understanding. When the country •.■.•at brought lo the sharp ami ; iuMou nee,-ably of vindicating the nature ami authority b| the l nion, there was throughout the North ft general popular ignorance of its ren! character, and a wide spread infidelity to some of its important, obligations. What has been going on in the South during the same period? Ou this point there is much to he learned by those who seek the truth. If you will investigate the (acts, you will lind that thirty years ago no such opinion as a right of s'eees sion had any genera! acceptance in the South. No general support was given in the South to the conduct of South Caro lina in tho matter of nullification. Very few Southern statesmen or politicians of eminence, not. belonging to that. State, fol lowed Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Mayne; and when the great debate on the nature of the Constitution was closed the general mind of the South was satisfied with the result How is it now? Tho simple truth is, that secession—understood by Southern politicians ns n right resulting from the nature of the Union —is a growth of the last twenty-fire years: and it has become the prevalent political faith with the most active of the educated men of the South who have come into public life during this period. It is my belief, founded on what 1 have had occasion to know, that the great body ot Southern opinion respecting the Constitution, its nature, its obligations and its historical basis, has undergone a complete revolution since the year 1835. What Mr. Calhoun never contempla ted as a remedy against supposed un consttutional legislation has become familiar to men’s minds as a remedy against that which was striking deeper than legislation : which might never take the torn of congressional action, but was constantly taking every form of popular agitation; which might never become the tangiblo and responsible doctrine of ad- ministration, but was yet all the more formidable and irritating because it lay couched in an irresponsible popular senti ment, fomented by appeals which were designed to deprive constitutional ties and obligations ot their binding moral force. Are we told that these things do not stand in any relation of cause and effect ? Are we so simple, so uninstructed in what influences the great movements of the human mind, that we cannot see how intellect and passion and interest may be affected by what passes before our eyes ? Must I wait until the whole fabric of free Constitutional Government is nulled down span my head, and I am bum d beneath its run. a, before! cry out in its defence ? Must 11 postpone all judgment respecting the causes of it* daanrtapwwwmHkMgqM^vinij in fishes ofcivil war, and history has written the epitaph over the noblest Common wealth that the world has seen? I fear that there is a too prevalent disposition to surrender ourselves as passive instruments into the hands of fate—too much of aban donment to the carreht of mere events— too great a practical denial of our own ca pacity to save our country by a manly as sertion oi tho moral laws on which its preservation depends. Can it be that we are losing our faith in that Rnler who has made fche safety of nations to depend on something more thanphysical and material strength, who has given us moral power oyer our own condition, and has surround ed us with countless moral weapons for its defense? It is marvellous through what a course 0 ' MH f ru ' : t , cn, through what discipline of Buffering and calamity, the people of this country have had to pass, in orderto fully comprehend tho truth that the nature of their Government depends upon sound de duction from a series of historical facts and that H must, therefore, be defended In consistent popular action. It h now somewhat more than thirty years since iraniel Webster, combining in himself more capacities for such a task than had ever been given to any other American statesman, demonstrated that our National Government can have no secure operation whatever, unless the obviously true and simple deduction from the facts of it= origin is accepted as the basis of its au thority. \ou know what hetaught. You know that he proved—if aver mortal intel lect proved a moral proposition—that in tue exercise of its constitutional powers the National Government is supreme, be cause every inhabitant of every State has covenanted with every inhabitant ofevery other State that it shull bo so: that even whmj the National Legislature is supuosed to have overstepped its constitutional lim its, no .Stale interposition, no State legis lation, can afford lawful remedy or relief and that all adverse Slate aetion. whether called by the nuine of nullification or by any other name, in unlawful resistance.— V. e are glad enough now to rest upon his great name ; we march proudly under his imposing banner, to encounter the hosts o. • Constitutional Secession.” But how was it with us, even before he was laid iu tl-.ai unpretending tomb, which rises in the i scene that he loved so well, and overlooks .lc sounding sen, by the music of whose bil.mvs he went to his earthly rest? Did we followm his footsteps? Did we requite his tine,pud!,,l t-ivil services? Did we cherish tin great doctrine that he taught u.-,, a- it,, palladium o! a Government wau-h n-i-t | ••n»h if that doctrine loses • prc-eumien..-'- in the national mind?

It the parties, tn reference to the common domains, will admit of no compromise or concession, hut each insist on applying to them its own policy as a nation’s policy, the.n the ineompatability is as complete from that cause as it is from the others. This diffi culty is not in the principle of the associa tion, for nothing can be clearer than this principle ; and when ithasbeen honorably adhered to, no Government in the world has worked more successfully. But the difficulty has arisen from disturbing causes that have dislocated the machine; and what we have now to ascertain is, whether the PitorLE on both sides will treat those causes as temporary, and remove them, or wilt accept them as inevitable and incura ble, and thus make the separation 6nal and conclusive. In the gloomy conception of the old Grecian tragedy, no room was left by the poets for the moral energies of man, there was no force in human straggles, no defence in human innocence or virtue. Higher than Jupiter, higher than the heavens, an infi nite distance, in infinite indifference to the fortunes of men or gods, save the mys terious and eternal power of Destiny. Before time was, its decrees were made, and when the universe began, that awful chancery was closed. No sweet interce ding saints could enter there, translated from the earth to plead for mankind. No angels of love and mercy came from hu man abodes, to bring tidings of their state. No mediator, once a sufferer in the flesh, stood there to atone for human sin. The wail of a nation in its agony, or the cry that went up from a breaking human heart, might pierce into the endless realms of space, might call on the elements for sym pathy, but no answer and no relief could come. He who was pre-ordained to suf fer, through whatever agency, suffered and sank, with no consolation but the thought that all the deities, celestial and infernal, were alike subject to the same power. Are we driven by some relentless force, that annihilates our own free wills and dethrones Him who is Supreme? Are we cast helpless and drifting, like leaves that fall upon the rushing Stream?'"“Must we give way to blank despair? No, no. no There are dance to be done—to beidafl by us j for whatever may be the military straggle now ' ' ever are te htw ' the people of the South, the time is com ing when we and they, face to face, and in the eye of an ail-seing God, must deter mine how we will live side by side as the children of one eternal Parent For that approaching day, and for the sake "of'a restoration of that’ which arms alone Can not conquer, let me implore-you to make somp fit and - adequate preparation of in struments and agents and means and influ ence, Trust to the humanising effects of (t nenr and better intercourse.
