however, and they are never so offensive

PROGRESS OF DESPOTISM.
When the Abolition Fanatics succeeded
in satisfying their party. that the South
could not be "kicked out of the Union;"
and when on the other hand, the South
ern conspirators "fired the Southern
heart," and forced their innocent victims
into rebellion, against our Government,
neither set had any compreheneion of the
incalculable and gigantic horrors they
were entailing upon our, then, happy
and proaperbfis contitry. The warnings
of the great men of the Nation, from the
faiewell of WASHINGTON, to the admoni•
tions of WEBSTER and CLAY, were forgot
ten by those representing opinion in the
two extremea of the Union. This pro
duced the irrepressible conflict, which
brought upon us our present troubles.
These fanatics and traitors had no con•
ception of the dark and bloody ground
upon which they were forcing the coun
try; for it is not the province of fanati
clamant' passion to reflect. Their bloody
thoughta, with violent pace, would not
pause, but rushed on, blindfold, to the
destruction of their country. And see
how they have succeeded, and that, too,
in so brief a time.
One of the unlooked for phases of the
rebellion, is the circumstance of the real
rebellious States being governed by rep
resentatives, who dare not return to the
States they pretend to represent. The
Raleigh N. C. Standard, discussing this
point, in connection, with the rebel pro.
position to conscript all white males in the
Confederacy, between the ages of sixteen
and fifty five,—which it denounces as an
attempt to make JEFF DAvie a dictator--
remarks:
"We have a Congress the legislation
of which is controlled by members from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and other places, who impose
odious and oppressive laws upon us which
can no more be enforced on the people of
the States which they profess to repre
sent than upon the people of New York
or New England. The chief cause of the
Revolutionary war, which sundered the
connexion of the colonies from the moth
er country, was that the English Parlia•
ment imposed oppressive laws on the col
onies which did not affect the people of
England themselves. No conscript law
can be enforced upon the people of Ken
Lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana, nor on a large portion of Vir
ginia, Florida, Mississippi, or Texas.
No tax law, nor tithing, or impressment
law can be enforced on them, while
those irresponsible members may force
from their homes every person in North
Carolina able to bear arms, regardless of
age or condition, and place them in the
army, as is now urged by them in Con
gress, and leave the helpless women and
children to starve. They must put us un
der a military despotism, and place over
us a dictator, and impose taxes and bur
dens on us which are insupportable, and
there is no redress, upless North Carolina
will protect her children.
• people of Nort, aro ins; and we
produce it to illustrate the prospective
condition of our own State, if the war is
to continue much longer. Let the Presi•
dent's plan of reconstructing the Union,
by allowing one•tenth of each rebellions
State to represent -it in Congress, be
adopted and we do not see that the con•
dition of North Carolina is in this con
nection, any worse than that of
Pennsylvania would be. Less than two
thousand votes would entitle PArida to
readmission into the Union, bringing
with her two United States Senators,
with voices as potential as those repre
senting New York. Some 'of the Aboli
tion papers attempt to get - elver this ob
jection by pointing us to the little States
of New England, having, each, as much
power in the Senate as its largest sister;
but this apparent inequality was in pursu
ance of a compact between the States, in
forming the Union, and was not brought
about by a juggling faction, whose object
was merely to retain power, in the gen
eral Government. The idea of allowing
each State an equal voice in the Senate
was to keep them upon terms of equality
in that conservative branch of the Gov
ernment. The purpose of permitting one
tenth of a, rebellious State to return to
the Union by each taking an oath to be
come Abolitionists, is but a naked and
transparent track to enable those in now2r
to retain it.
THE SHOE BEGINS TO PINCH
The German Abolitionists appear to be
particularly opposed to the re-nomination
of Old ABR. The St. Louis Republican
says that they were the first to encourage
the formation of secret societies to con•
trol the elections in this and other States
—we have special reference now to the
Union Leagues and other midnight socie
ties inaugurated within the last two years.
They were fashioned upon the order of
the Know Nothings, with oaths, and
tests, and grips, and imprecations, all
having a political signification and a poli.
tical object. So long as they operated
well, they were an immensely popular in
stitution with the German element, and
were called into play by them on all oc
casions, but more particularly in the last
Cnngresaional, and at the more recent Ju-
dicial elections.
Bat the game has been carried a little too
far, so far as they are concerned, just as
interested demagogues used the power of
the Know Nothings to advancetheir inter

ism, and they are greatly incensed thereat.
They think these Leagues no better than
Copperhead concerns, and are denouncing
them accordingly. They bad their impress
Germany, and contributed greatly to
the election of LINCOLN, but now that they
are to he , turned against them by Yankee
skrewdaess, they can scarcely find words
tr erpresethair conteraptffor secret socie
ti as. Such organizations should never be
tolerated in the. United States, but having
been introduced by Germandom, as a pe
culiarity of German political strategy, it
is to be hoped they will get a fall dose of
it.
THE PITTSBM*II POST: ATril nAY MORNING, 3A M'r' ATM no, 1864.
REMARKS
HON. IV "WALLACE,
In the Senate of Penn'a, Jare,;,2o, 1864,
.We'have heard. sir, with no . lit . delg eas .
.tir Th
e, e learned argument tind the ad•
mirable piece of mosaic whielkaur friend,
'the Senator from ThilatieWsti- ; ,_ (Mr.
Connell,) has elaborate(' it out. ex pense.
If, sir, he means to say that:-we are the
revolutionists of this chamer, we deny
and repudiate it. If, sir, he means to
assert that in standing behind the ram
parts of the Constitution, in placing our
selves upon the "musty" precedents of
seventy years and upon the landmarks of
the past marked out by the men who
framed the Constitution of 1790, and
who administered it for thirty years; if,
sir, he means to say that in this we are
guilty of using red tape, sirs, we glory in
the red tape ; and I, as one of the sixteen
Democratic Senators upon this floor, (and I
speak not alone for myself, but fcr each
and all of us,) will ever stand behind
these ramparts and upon these "musty"
precedents, sustaining this doctrine of
red tape. Sirs, you are in revolution,
and you know it not. Sirs, the "musty
records" of the past are those that pre•
serve to this people their liberty, their
property, their ancient birth-right ; and
are these the "musty precedents" of the
past and this Constitution, formed by the
Lathers of the Revolution, to be swept
out of existence, to be abrogated, and
new precedents and new doctrines to bein
itiated here, because, forsooth, today we
have learned that they are red tape? Sirs,
although younger in years than the Sen
ator from Philadelphia, I am one of those
old•fashioned men who believe in ens
taining the doctrines of the Constitution;
who believe in standing by the teachings
of the past ; who believe there, and there
alone, are we to find safety now and in
the future. And, airs, as I read this
Constitution, we are right and you are
wrong. If you desire an organization of
this Senate, why in Heaven's name do
you not organize it? If the rebels were
thundering at the gates ; if his cannon
were pointed at the Capitol, and we had
no organization by which to vote men and
means to Save the Commonwealth, is it
at OUT doors the responsibility is to rest?
Sirs, we rest upon the history of the past,
upon the letter of the Constitution. You
rest upon the precents of to.day. We
say to you, Republican Senators, if such
were the case, it is upon your heads rests
the responsibility, it is in your hands to
organize this body, and you fail to do it.
will state the legal propositions that
1 believe conclusive upon this question
—bear with me whilst I state them. The
Constitution of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania—and I cite it, however
"musty and antiquated" the proceedings
may be—the Constitution of Pennsylva
nia provides, in section 10, that "the
General Assembly shall meet on the first
Tuesday in January of every year unless
sooner convened by the Governor."
What is the General Assembly? What
is defined in the first section of the same
article? The legislative power of this
Commonwealth shall be vested in a Gen
eral Assembly, which shall consist of a
Senate and a House of Represtatives.
Thus we have what the words "General
Assembly" mean : a Senate and a House
of Representatives.
Now we pass to section 11. "Each
house shall choose its Speaker and other
officers. 'The Senate shall also ehoose a
Speaker pro tempore when the Speaker
shall exercise the office of Governor. -
' Now, the first query is, what do these
words "each house" as used in the elev
enth section mean? The interpretation
given to them by the first section of article
1, shows that they mean a Senate and a
House of Representatives. "Each..house,"
then means a Senate or a House of Rep
rasentatives.
There is in addition to this obvious
meaning, another meaning. They have
reference to the duration of existence of
those two bodies. These words "each
houle" measure the time during which
words "General Assembly' mean a House
and a Senate—the words "each house"
mean each Senate and each House of Rep
resentatives—and thus we have each Senate
shall chose its Speaker and other officers .
There is no evading this construction. It
is clearly and distinctly laid down by the
words of the document itself. Now, is
this Senate the Senate that existed last
year or the Senate that exists this yeas?
Thus I say that the plain and obvious
meaning of these two sections of the
Constitution as bearing upon the dura
tion of the existence of this body, is, that
each Senate shall choose its Speaker and
other officers. The words here are plain
and they limit and control the construc
tion. We have these words "each house"
need no less than six times in article first.
Let us see how they are used. We take
the section immediately following section
second
" Each house shall judge of the qualifi
cations of its members,"
Now, how absurd it would be to say
that the house that sat last year shall judge
of the qualifications of the Senators who
met here this year. It is contrary to
practice ; it is contrary to common
sense; it is contrary to every rule of
construction, so that by the plain words of
section 12, the words "each house" apply
to the duration of the existence of the
body. Each house shall jadge of the
qualifications of its members, "this Senate
shall judge of the qualifications of its
members."
Again, we have in section 18 this lan
guage: "Each house may determine the
rules of its proceedings." Now, shall it
be said that the Senate of last year is to
determine the rules of the proceedings of
this body. If that be the true construc
tion, then we have the rules of last ses
sion in full force and governing us. Such
a construction has never been attempted
to be set up, and it is contrary to good
sense; the section continues: * * *
"punish its members for disorderly beha-
vior, and with the concurrence of two
thirds, expel a member, but not a second
time for the same cause.
Can it be said that these words "each
house mean that the Senate that sat here
last year has the right to expel a member
of this body ? Certainly not. No man will
contend for such a construction. Then if
these words in sections 12 and 13 limit the
construction they do the same in section
11, and the words "each house" have ape
cial reference to the duration of the exist.
ence of each body ; that is, the sessions of
each house commence on the first Tuesday
of January and last until the first Tuesday
of January of each succeeding year.
We have, then, the words and the con
text to sustaining our position. What
next have we to sustain our position ? I
go back again to the "musty records" that
are cited with disapprobation by the Sena•
tor from Philadelphia. Here on the stet
ate book, 1 find a law of 1804, that pre
cribee the mode of administering the oath
to the Speaker of this Senate. What are
its words? "That when either branch of
the Legislature shall have made choice of
a Speaker, the oaths and affirmations pre
scribed in the Constitution of this Common.
wealth and in the Constitution of the
United States, shall be administered to
the Speaker elect by a member appointed
for the purpose by a majority of members
present; and the Speaker so sworn or
affirmed shall administer the oath to the
Senators elect."
We have here the law for the precedent
that waa cited with disapprobation by the
Senator from Susquehanna, (Mr. Turrell)
He said that it was a custom that ought to
be abolished, that the custom of iadmin
istering the oath of office after the election
was a bad custom.
Mr. Tamil. I said that the practice of
allowing wen to act officially without the
sanction of an oath was a practice that
ought to btablindecl.
Mr. Wallace. Then, Mr. fipenktif,' I
say that the answer of the argument of
the Senator from Susquehanna is found
in another of these "musty precedents"
that has been upon the r4itatute books of
the Commonwealth of ' Pannsylvahm for
sixty years. It is 4.day,;:the law 0 the
land, that the Speaker of; the Senatgis to
be sworn before enfirinktipoi his:office,
and when sworn, hfr is tO - aditeidittor the
oath to the incomingSeriatore 'We have
thus the law nearly Cotempoisneous with
the provision in the Constitution. We
have, then, the cootinued practice, with•
out a single precedent to break the con
tinuous chain from 1794 to this day.
Thus we have the obvious meaning of
the words, the context, the law, and,,the
practice, all according with our position.
But there is another thing upon which it
appears to me Senators err—and I refer
as well to Senators on nor side of the
house ae to Senators on the other side of
,he house. It is this, that no Speaker
was ever elected at the close of a cession
unless the Speaker who vacated the chair
was an oat-going Senator. That has been
the practice, I assert, from the commence
ment of the Government. Now, if that
be trim, there is no law and no precedent
for the election of a Speaker at the elm
of a session when the Senator in the chair
is not an out going Senator. And I refer
to the very last cases upon record—the
case of Mr. Matthias, in 1851, and Mr.
Darsie, in 1849. They held over—there,
was no election at the close of tho see-
El. Every Speaker in the chair since
1851 has been an out-going Senator. Go
butt , then, to these "musty records," and
you find at the commencement of the ses
sion of 1883, for example, a Speaker is
elected; that Speaker remains in the chair
as the Speaker of the Senate until the
meeting of the General Assembly in the
succeeding January. That is the consist
ent practice of this Government. Now, if
this be true, the election of a Speaker at
the end of a prior session amounts to noth•
ing. Each Senate elects its Speaker at
the commencement of the session, and
only because the out-going Senator's term
expires at the October election is a new
Speaker elected.
There is another point to which I ask
the attention of the Senate. How and
where do we find the expiration of the
term of each house? Sire, the Constitn•
Lion provides that the people at the polls
shall end your existence. Your co-ordi
nate branch, the House, met the people
annually at the October election and
there they surrender their powers to
them. Aud, sirs, we here too have our
powers defined and our time limited.
I'wo thirds of the members of the Senate
hold over, while the term of office of the
remaining third of the Senators expire
on the second Tuesday of October, and
the Speaker that is elected by the pre
ceding Senate, being a Senator who holds
over comes to the chair at the incoming
session. Then comes with the records of
his office the Secretary of the Common
wealth, and he brings to the bar of the
Senate and to the man in the chair,
the
official notification that the people have
said his duties are at an end. Sir, when
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
comes to the bar of the Senate with the
certificates of the election of eleven new
Senators, there is a new element in this
body, and the man in the chair has offi
cial notificatioh. under the Constitution
of the Commonwealth, that his duties
are ended; and practice, precedent and
law require that he should leave the
chair. lo the past, be has alway lett it,
but now we find a Speaker attempting to
retain it, sustained by the Senator from
Philadelphia, and the name of usurper
given to him with congratulation.
Sire, the doctrine of a perpetual organ
ization is contrary to the genius of our
institutions. Sirs, that "the king never
dies" is not the doctrine of a Republican
Government; and, sirs, that the creature
of the people made under the forms of
law lasts forever is not the doctrine, of a
Republican Government. I ask gentle
men if they know whither they are tend
ing; I ask them whether they are not be
coming aristocratic in their tendencies,
whethex this uopi tho 13,6
never dies is rot very nearly parallel with
the doctrine that the king never dies.
Sirv, we have always a Senate composed
of at least two thirds of the entire num
ber: and whether the chair be vacant by
reason of the death ct the Governor and
of the speaker of the Senate, or because
of a failure on the part of the Senate to
elect, amounts to nothing. The right of
Sovereignty in this Government rests not
in the creatures cf the Constitution, but
testa in the people. They have here a
body chosen for the purpose and vested
with fall power to fill the place.
The precedent of 1838 that was tiled
the other day by the Senator from Lycom
ing, if of any value to Senators, they are
welcome to it. Sire, when you set up the
attempt ot one 'branch of this Legislature
to hold its position against the expressed
will of the people at the ballot box as a
precedent, you sustain the. assertion that
you are for revolution; you assume that
the ''Buckshot war" gives to you a pre
cedent. Sirs, if you take anything by the
precedent of 1838, we concede it. We
deny the value of the precedent. It was
at a time when desinging men had work
ed revolution in the State, it was ate time
when the party in power sought to bold it
against the will of the people; and only
after continued, determined and energet
ic action on the part of the regularly elec
ted representatives of the people were
they compelled to yield to that will. Sirs,
the Speaker of the Senate does not live
forever. He lives under the Constitution
from January, 1863, to January, 1864.
Then official notice comes to him that his
duties have ceased, that there are in this
body eleven men who were not in it be
fore, and who under the Constitution of
Pennsylvania are entitled to vote for the
Speaker of their choice.
This is our position, and by it we will
stand. lf, in sustaining these doctrines,
we shall incur odium, as is said in God's
name let it come. If in standing firmly
erect in support of the right and in de
fence of the principles of law and of or
der, odium do come, we will gladly receive
it. We are standing upon the battlements
of the Constitution, entrenched by prin
ciple and precedent, and feel, that we do
but perform our duty and preserve our
official oaths inviolate.
Mr. ConuelL I desire to ask the Sena
tor from Clearfield a question—whether
any act passed by the present Legislature,
and attested by John P. Penney, the
Speaker of the Senate, and approved by
the Governor, would not be held a valid
law in any court ip this Commonwealth.
Mr. Wallace. What may be the rights
of parties who obtain legislation at the
hands of this Legislature, conceding it to
be organized, is one thing. Whether we
have an organized body is another thing.
You may be the Speaker de facto, and na l
the Speaker dejure. We know that you
are not the Sneaker in accordance with
the law and the Constitution, Whilst
your acts may be sustained as those of the
Speaker de facto, that does not prove
anything in the argument. The question
here is whether we are to have a Speaket
that is to live forever—or whether we are
to stand by the "musty records of the
past," and have a right to elect a Speaker
at the commencement of a session. If
you are for usurpation—if you choose to
call it so—these are your words, not mine
—if you are for usurpation, and congratu
late yourselvs upon the name of usurper
you are welcome to it
