(1MoStion involved in the stnitrde now fur
nishing so many sad pages for history is a
mietioii of division : "Shall the irreat Jle-
rnihiic be divided into two small oues
That is the i!iestion now before the country.
Those who took the affirmative of this ques
tion, in the first place, took up arms with
whic-li to defend it. They knew thev could

- .
I hey gave but one reason tor it. Ihey
sam mat some people l Deneve tuey saia
a great many people had spoken unkindly
.i, aw. a
defy anj' gentleman V point out any other
reason given ty tnem ior tne position taten.
13 ut do not misunderstand me. I do not
mean to say that so large a number of gen-
.1 1 . I 1
uemen, laie.neo as we Know, nonesc a,s we
formerly thought, were moved to esponse
disunion from a trivial motive. 1 heir mo
tive was as I have stated it to lie. liut, in
my judgment, it was very far from being a
trivial one. They wished to preserve that
system of labor, why? Because they had
$2,000,000,000 in it-. They kad more than
that, for L believe they were never distin
guished as an avaricious people. Their ar
istocracv, family pride, political power, (a
great item. ) their habits of life, and, what
is as valuable to thcTu as anything eLse.their
hrriv,!iwl viws ta anil i,ll,imK nil wnrn
in it. Of course they wanted to preserve
it. Ihey knew, however, that the institu
tion was founded in wrong, and could not
Lear to be talked against. In a free forum
it must go under. Allow me to use a figure.
An iceberg breaking away from the pole and
floating down into warmer lattitudes gradu
.ally loses its frigiditv, and dissolves in the
warmer elements around it. feo slavery,
originating in the barbaric periods of the
world, and floating down to this benigner
age, was beginning to melt away in the
warm breath of debate. To preserve sla
very, therefore, debate must cease or slavery
be taken out of hearing silence or seces
sion seemed their only alternative. When
silence could not be obtained they chose se
cession. I know some other things were said. I
know they said that the North would not
turn out with constitutional alacrity to catch
and return their fugitive bondsmen ; but
they, like other similar complaints, were rath-
ti . ttto fli.-s -iii i tj f r.ti Vila tViin nrionnnl
causesof dissatisfaction. . They were thrown
out only to catch the minnows found in the
great ocean of northern politics. The great
leaders cared nothing for this small percent
age of loss, smaller than in many other kinds
of investment. They cared nothing for the
few leaves that were here and there detached
and lo in the ordinary breeze ; it was the
little streams of thought that were slowly
washing the soil away from the root of the
tree that alarmed them. Therefore, while
of the North talked about walling sla
very in, lest freedom should be contamina
ted, they were considering how to wall free
dom out, that slavery might remain pure.
They decided upon disunion. They stated
their purpose clearly, and took a name that
indicated it hontly., They called.themselves
disunionists. They even poinced out the
line whers the surveyor should blaze the
streams and flatboat navigation of the Mis
sissippi. The tody of the Mississippi, with
its stream of commercial wealth, unfailing
as its own waters, the long Atlantic and
i'rulf coat the vast vmntry lying Wow
Pennsylvania," Ohio, and Iowa, and stretch
ing westward without limit, embracing the
soft climate and warm .soil of the South
ail this, said they, we will take for the mas
ter and his slave.
Thus the issue was made up on the one
side. There was no alternative left for the
other. Those opposed to division were com
pelled you will remember how unwillingly
to take up arms and submit the cause of the
Union to the chances of battle. They
organized under the appropriate name of
the Union party. The old flag was hoisted,
the long roll beaten, and the opponents of
division everywhere called upon to "fall in."
Straight way, then, began some to make ex
cuses. Says one "I am opposed to divis
ion; but coercion is unconstitutional; I
pray you have me excused."' James Bu
chanan said that in his last annual message.
Says another, "I am opposed to division,
aud I think coercion is constitutional ; but
I believe it is impracticable. I think the
United States is not strong enough to put
down a rebellion so extensive, and led by
men oi so much ability, pride, and courage.
I cannot, therefore, join you to trv. I prav
you nave me excuseu. oays a tnira, J
am opposed to division, and T believe that
coercion is both constitutional and practica
ble ; but there is an eaaier and better way.
You can compromise. They only ask you
to cease talking against slavery, and if you
will not agree to do that, I too shall ask to
be excused. ' ' And so these three classes,
each for a different reason, moved off by
themselves, a ud formed the nucleus of what
subsequently became a great party of neu
trality, observation, and criticism. It was
iwiid the other day by the gentleman from
Kentucky Mr. Smith that there were but
two parties in this countrypatriots and trai
tors. I beg leave to differ from my friend.
I think there are three, patriots, traitors,
and neutrals. lut I will not quarrel with
him if he should say, as I think a high
spirited Kentuekian would, that. he had
more admiration for the mad courage of
treason than for the mean cowardice of neu
trality. Let nie pause here to answer the question
sometimes yet a;;ked, "Why did you not
compromise ? If they only wanted you to
agree to cease talking about their .system of
labor, why did you not agree ?" It was not
lack of dough we had, I am ashamed to ac
knowledge, dough enough to make a whole
oven-full of compromises. It was not be
cause the Unionists were not pliant, but be
cause the disunion leaders were not fools.
Ihey knew that a contract for silence
could never be enforced unless vonr re
publican Government was converted into an
absolute monarchy. v hat is a republic
except the right to think and to express your
thoughts by your voter The rrenchman
trades, travels, and seeks his pleasure as
treeiy as an American. I he hmperor takes
no note of these. It is the free thought or
the insurgent conscience that wears the im
perial chain in France. These leaders knew
that talk would go on in spite of contract.
and therefore they did not ask and would
not accept your worthless parchment. Thev
had tried it. Thev had the Atherton casr
and the Democratic and AVhig resolutions
of 132 forbidding discussion, and the whole
power of the Pierce and Buchanan Admin
istrations to enforce their views. Former
Administrations, although much devoted to
the interests of slavery, fcund time to at
tend to some other matters. Polk, I think
it was, explored the "Dead Sea" of the
Old YV orld. and Fillmore sounded the denths
of a deader sea at home for himself and his
party ; but Pierce and Buchanan devoted
themselves entirely to this sinsrle nurDose,
They put on the master's collar and wore it
as a thing ot honor, and never seemed
prouder than when they saw their southern
friends spelling out the inscription, "This is
(rerth, the boudman of Cedric the Saxon."
These influences were ably wielded by an
experienced corps of slave P.epresentatives
in these flails and around this Capitol.
They were men that combined the opposite
qualities of gentleness and severity so fitting
to a leader. They knew how to win the
bold and overawe the timid. They were
gentlemen among bullies and bullies among
gentlemen. But with all these powers com
bined they could not close the mouth will
it pleaje you any better if I say fanatical
mouth ? of Wendell Phillips alone. Aud
so they spurned your too pliant offer.
Three years have passed years fraught,
as it seems to us at a distance, with great
ruin to the South, with loss and heavy sor
row, as we know, to the North. How stand
the three parties now ? The disunion em
blem is still upborne, less firmly than at
first ; and the area on which its hateful
shadow falls is two thirds less than iu the
beginning. Still it flies its signal word
"division." .All the proclamations and
messages of Jeff Davis, his governors and
generals, all the laws and resolutions of his
Congress and State Legislatures talk of noth-
ing but division. W7ill the gentleman from
New York,
i, L-ur. Vood,J who talks to us so
much about peace, take notice that in all
those official documents, if they can be call
ed official, division is the only aim and end
proposed?
How stands the Union party ? Well, sir,
n I L-l .,1 , . 1 u
our nag, 1 Deneve, is siui noaung, neiu
more firmly than in the beginning, suetain
ed by the courage no, sir, that is not the
word I mean exactly ; by the patriotism ot
the American people and that is not the
word I want to express my particular shade
of meaning ; it is upheld, 1 believe, by a
stronger sentiment than courage or patriot
ism by the sense of duty and stern con
iriicR of the American people. And if
you want to find which is strongest, pride
and courage on the one hand, or conscience
and sense of duty on the other, read ththis
tory of the Cromwellian war, and you will
Urn thnt. the nroud Cavalier had to yield
in the end to the conscientious Roundhead.
Aud so it will be now. The motto ot the
Uuiou party , ia the same as it was in. the im
ginning. We unite the language of Jack
son, lhe Union must and shall be preser
ved, and the language of Webster, "Lib
erty and Union, now and forever, one and
inseperable.
But where stands the neutral party ; the
party of "it's," "ands," and excuses ? Ilave
you been here tor three months now, occa
sionally presiding over this House, and do
not know that there they stand (pointing
to uie lemorcratie side ot the llali as
they stood three years ago, occupying the
same position of bloodless neutrality ? They
nave not changed their ground, though they
give a different reason for holding it. They
do not now say that coercion is unconstitu
tional. They do not now generally say that
u is impossible, nor mat anything you can
give to the rebels bv wav of comnromisp
will make their condition any better than it
was before they rebelled. Ihev erenerallv
means to effect what they now see, though
they did not at first, is a constitutional pur
pose. And so they remain spectators ; in a
war wnicn involves the hie ot this nation
and the fortunes of forty millions of people
whose interests are associated with it. More
than that ; it involves the fortunes of the
oppressed and middle classes all over the
world ; tor ours is the world's representa
tive Jiepuhlic. But to do them iustiee. I
must say, they are not indifferent spectators.
There they stand, glass in hand, or "nose

cheering disaster in the field, which will ful

possible, at least all constitutional objections
are tnrown in the way of the exercise of the

secured to the unpardoned secessionist in
the rebel and border States. They have to
see that practical amalgamation goes ou un
disturbed by any unconstitutional interfer
enc-e with the slave system of the South.
while they falsely charge theoretical amal
ganiation on the virtuous people of the
North. They have, too, to see that that
portion of their followers who pverestimate
their own, or perhaps have a proper appre
ciation of both, are held to party vassalage
by constant dread of negro emulation. They
have to see that their weaker brcthern are
educated into the belief that the negro is
only fit for a slave and can never be anvthin
else ; and then to distress them with appre
hensions that they may yet be compelled to
compete with him in the industrial and pro
fessional pursuits of life, where brains, not
color, will ascribe to each his just measure
ot success.
These are only specimens of the multitu
dinous labors of this neutral oganization. If
I were to sro on with a full cataloiriii T wmiM
exhaust your patience and my, strength. I
want, however, to call the attention of the
committee to one thing more.
The main allegation, the one always reli
ed upon to justify their neutrality before the
world, is that the war is conducted with a
view of overthrowm? slavery as well as the
rebellion. It this, allegation were true.
what a position ror a statesman to take
what a position for any man to take who
expects to leave a name that will be remem
bered when he is rone, and a posterity con
demned to bear it ! It might do for James
Buchanan for God in his infinite mercv
1 '11
nas provided tnac no cnud siiail wear
through life a nam&of such deendishouoi-
but for nobody else. But. sir, it is not true
in the sense in which it is alleged. It is
not true that the war is carried on for the
purpose of abolishing slavery. Those who
believe it mistake an incident for the pur
pose of the war the mean employed for
the end desired. You might as well say
when we battered down Pulaski and Sumter
that that was the object of the war.
. The President's great proclamation is
urged in evidence of this allegation. The
President saw that Great Britain was furn
ishing arms to the rebels. He invited that na
tion todesist,aud accompanied his invitation
with some promises and some threats. Great
Britain desisted. The President saw that
the slave was furnishing the rebels with
food, clothing, labor, and fortifications ; and
he invited the slave to desist, accompanying
that invitation with . no threats, but with
a single promise, the proinise of freedom.
That is all there is in the proclamation.
Mr. Wadswortil The gentleman states
that the object of the proclamation of e
inancipation was to disturb the labor which
supplied the rebels with food, &c. I know
that tl e President has given that as the ob
ject of the proclamation ; but I ask the
gentleman if that can be so, in view of the
fact which he recollects, that the proclama
tion itself advises the slave to remain quiet
and confine to labor for icages t
Mr. Scofield. I do not now recollect the
language of the proclamation, but I do not
understand that he advised them to work
for the rebels. The advice given as; dc-
coiiccue tnac tne rebellion must be suppres- Jt you carry the next election will you violate
sed by torce of arms or the Union be divid- the Present's promise to the slave? AVill
ed. But they say the President is always you say to the negro soldier, "'Leave the

so umortunate as to select unconstitutional battle-helds of our count
signed to avoid apprehended insurrections.
Ihe purpose of the President was to dimin
ish the support furnished to the rebel cause
by the slave. This purpose might have
beeu strengthened in the honest heart of the
x ju&iueiib vy some Kinaer sentiment than a
cold military policy, and if so I will leave it
to others to see that he is properly denoun
ced. It is enough for me to know that it
was a master-stroke ot muitary stratecv
which no general has to my knowledge as
yet pumiciy condemned. As tar as possible,
the slave has since brought us not only his
labor, but an army of one or two hundred
thousand men. W ho wants this promise
recalled ? If not recalled, who wants it vio
lated in the tuture f W ho wants the color
ed army disbanded and sent back to their
rebel masters and white men drafted in their
stead t V ill 3-ou of the neutral party dare

Again, the President saw, or rather the

Keeps out 01 tne way ot the wheels or rap

every State redeemed from this unrepubli-

preach antt-slavery by a prosperous example.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial with the army of the Cumberland,
narrates the following incident ;
A certain wealthy old planter, who used
to govern a precinct in Alabama, in a re
cent skirmish, was taken prisoner, and at a
late hour brought into camp, where a guard
was placed over him. The aristocratic reb
el supposing everything was all right that
he was secure enough anyway as a prisoner
of war as a committee of the whole resol
ved himself into "sleep's dead slumber."
Awakening about midnight, to find the nioou
shining full into his face, he chanced to "in
spect his guard," when, horror of horrors,
that soldiey was a negro ! And, worse than
all, he recognized in that towering form,
slowly and steadily walking a beat, one of
his own stares !
Human nature could not stand that, the
prisoner was enraged, furious, and swore he
would not. Addressing the guard, through
clenched teeth, foaming at the mouth, he
yelled out :
"Sambo!"
;Well masa."
. "Send for the Colonel to come here im
mediately. My own slave can never stand
guard over me ; it's a outrage ; no gen
tleman would submit to it."
Laughing in his sleeve, the dark-faend sol
dier promptly called out,"corp'l de guard!"
lhat dignity appeared, and presently the
colonel followed.
After listening to the southerner's impas
sioned harranguc, which was full of invec
tives, the colonel turned to the negro with
"Sam!"
"Yes, colonel !"
"You know this gentleman, do you?"
"Ob course ; he's massa B., and has big
plantation in Alabam."
"Weil, Sam, just take care of him to"
night!" and the officer walked away.
As the sentinel again paced his beat, thrf
geutleman from Alabama appealed to him

How Tecumseh was Killed,
The Western Christian Advocate of last
week contains an obituary notice of Isaac
Hamblin, Sr. , who died at his residence near
1 .1 A. ITIT fwl 1 1 TnT ' ..v rvrAn V. j . Iw..-. I
about 86 years. 'Mr. Hamblin was a man
01 aeep pietj' and unquestionable veracity.
He was in the battle of the Thames, and
the writer gives the following as. his state
ment in regard to the manner in which Te-
cumseh was killed ;
He says he was standing but a few feet
from Colonel Johnson when he fell, and in
full view, and saw the whole of that part of
the battle. He was well acquainted with
Tccumseh, having seen him before the war,
anil haying been a prisoner seventeen days,
and received many a cursing from him.
He thinks that Tecumseh thought Johnson
was Harrison, as he often heard the chief
swear he would have Harrison's scalp, and
seemed to have a special hatred toward liim.
Johnson's horse fell under him. himself
being also deeply wounded : in the fall ho
lost his sword, his large pistols were empty,
and he was entangled with his horse on the
ground. Tecumseh had fired his rifle at
him, and when he saw him fall he threw
down his gun and bounded forward like a
tiger, sure of his prey. - Johnson had only
a side pistol ready for use. He aimed at
the chief over the head of his horse, and
shot near the centre of his forehead.
When the ball struck, it seemed to him that
the Indian jumped with his head full fifteen
feet into the air. As soon as he struck tho
ground a little Frenchman ran his bayonet
through mm, and pinned him fast to th
ground.
