Cu OF DR. BRECKENRIDGE.
Rev. Dr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, on ta
king the chairs& the Union National Conven
tion as temporary President, delivered the fol
lowing pointed and eloquent address :
GENTLEMAN OF THE CON VF.irPON :*YOtt
cannot be more sensible thabl,am, that the
part which I have to perform here to-day is
merely a matter of form ;, and, acting upon the
principle of my whole life when the suggestion
was made to me from Various quarters that it
was in the mind of many members of the con
vention to confer this distinction upon me, I
honestly - declined to accept of it, because I have
never sought honors. I have never sought dis
tinction. I have been a working man and
nothing else ; but too considerations led me to
Change my mind, One was personal to a class
of men in the country, far too small for the
good of the •country—thoke men who, merely
by their example, by their pains, and by their,
voica, try to do good, and alt the snore in peril;
ous times, without regard to the rewards that
maypome. It was good to make such men un
derstand by the distinction conferred upon one
of the humblest of their class, that they were
men that the country would cherish and Who
would not be forgotten (Applans.) The other
motive related to yourselves and to the country
at 'large ; and it is good lot your--it is good for
every nation, every State,audeiery party—to'
cherish alt generous impulse, to follow all noble
instincts; and there are none more generous
mid none more noble than to purge yqurselves of
all who look to self, all betrayers, and to confer
your favors, if it be only in the mere form,
upon those who aro worthy to be trusted, and
.ask nothing more. (Applause.)
Now, according to my notions of propriety;
having said this, I should say no more—[" Go
on."]—but it has been intimated to me from
many quarters, and in a way which I cannot
disregard, that would disappoint the wishes of
my friends, and perhaps, the just expectations of
the convention, if I did not, as briefly and yet
as precisely as I could, say a word upon the
, great matters which have brought us here.—
Therefore; in a very few words, as plainly as I
can, I will endeavor to direct your attention to
one and another of these great matters in which
we ere all engaged.
In the first place, nothing can be more strik
ing-than the fact that you are here, the repre
sentatives of a really great nation—the claims
tary representatives chosen without form of'Taw,
but as truly representing the feeling, and; if
you: choose,
the prejudices of the American peo
ple, - as it it were all written in the laws, and all
• passsd by votes: for the man thatyou will nom.
'mate here for the Presidency of the United
States, the ruler of a great people in a great
crisis, is, I suppose, just as, certain to be that
ruler as anything under heaven is certain be
fore it takes place. [Loud applause.]
And, moreover, you will allow Me -to say,
though,perhaps it is hardly proper that I should,
but, us' far as I know your opinions, I suppose
it is Just as certain now, before you utter it,
whose name yon will utter, and Which will be
responded to from one end otthis nation to the
other, as it will be after it has been uttered and
rectirded by your secretary. [Applause.)—
Poet; any man doubt' that this convention in
tends to say that Abraham Lincolu should be
; the nest President of the United States (Voci
ferous applause.] What, however, I wish to
cull your attention partieulorly to is the grand
eur of the mission upon which you are met, and
therefore, the dignity, the solemnity, the earn
estness, and the conscientiousness with which
you, representing one of the greatest and cer
tainly the freest people of the world, ought to
• discharge these duties.
Now, besides the nomination of the President
and Vide President (in regard to which second
office I Will ay nothing, because I know there
is ma reer less a division of opinion among you,)
but besides these nominations you have other
and most solemn duties to perform. You have
to organize this party thoroughly throughout
the United States. You have to put it into
form, in whatever form your judgment may
suggest that will contribute all that wisdom,
backed by energy and the most determined ef
fort, can produce, to gain the victory which I
- have already said was in oar. pewer. More than
than that, you have to lay down with clearness
and precision the principles upon which you
will carry on this great political contest, and
prosecute the - war which is underneath them,
and the glory of the country which lies before
us; if we succeed. Plainly, not in a double
• Reuse, but briefly, and with the dignity and pre
cision of a great people uttering by its represen
tativeaithe political .principles by which they
intend to live, and for the sake of which they
intend to die, so that all men everywhere may
understand precisely what we need; to -run
your furrow - so deeply and so clearly that, while.
every man worthy to associate with freemen
may see it, and pass over it to us, every man
who is unworthy, may be either enabled to pass
or maybe driven from us. We want none but
those who are like us to be with us. [Loud
applause.]
From among these' principles—if you will al
low me, for a moment, to say so—the first and
most distinct is that we do not intend to permit
this nation to be destroyed. [Great applause.]
We are p. nation—no doubt a peculiar one—a
nation formed of States, and no nation, except as
these States form it: and they are States, but
they are no States except as they are States in
that nation. [Applause.] Historically they never
were, and they have no more right to repudiate
them; and neither of them have any shadow of
right, and we intend, God helping us, so to via
- dicate that truth that it shall never be disputed
any more in this world. [Great applause.] It
is a fearful alternative that is set before us, and
yet there are great compensations fur it. Those
of you who have attended to this subject, know,
or ought to know, that from the foundation of
the present -Government—using that word in
its proper sense, this present Constitution—there
- have always, in every generation, been parties
that had no faith in it. The men who formed
it were doubtful of ,its success. The men who
opposed its formation did not desire its success
and I am bold to say, without detaining you
upon this point,, that after all the our-cry about
our vioNtiOn of the Constitution,
this present
living generations and this present Union party
are more thoroughly devoted to that Constitu
tion than any, generation that has ever-lived un
der it. [Loud applause.]
'While I say that, and while soleninly be
lieve it-while I believe it is capable of the
clearest historical proof—l will also add that it
is a great error 'which is being propagated in
our hind, to any that our Federal life, our na
tional life, - depends merely upon the existence
of that Constitution. Our fathers made it, .we
love it,-and we intend to maintain [Ap
plause.) 'But if it suited us to change it, we
would change it; [applause] and when it suits
us to change it, we will changet [Ap
plause.] - If it.were to be torn into a`Pa . ousand
pieces,hroken tilleiser,lhe nation would be us
Irma a nation as it ,its to-day—as much a nation
as it was before thhaparticidar Constitution was
made: a nation which, always declared its inde
pendence as a people, and who have lived uni
ted until now. a nation independent of the par
ticular institutions under which' they lived, and
capable of modelling them precisely as the in
stitutions of successive generations may require.
[Applause.] -' We ought to have it distinctly
' understood, both by friends end enemies, that
• while we love that instrument, awl are in most
respects satisfied withit, and wilt maintain it,
and that we. willoalthanalubitablexertninty,

to trample it under- loot, if , we can get rid of'
them in no other-way, yet, beyond a doubt; svr

have tianetified and put into that inst . :amen

thing, that you may change it, which never ex
fisted before the American Constitution, ate
which existing, there is no rebellion, insur
realm, or civil war, except upon the denial of
the fundamental principle of all free govern
meets, to wit; That the majdr part must rule
There is no othermethod of carrying on society
except that the power of the majority shall in
the power of - the - whole, or that the power o
the minority shall be the power of the whole
so that, in one word, $o deny the principle
which I have tried to state to you. is to make .
dogmatic assertion that the only form of goy
ernment that is possible, or that is approved by
philosophy, or that is acknowledge by God, is .
pure and absolute despdtism. The principles,
therefore, which I am trying, in this feebly
manner, to state before you, are principles
which, it they be not true, freedom is impossi
ble, and no other government under the sun tint
a government of pure force is or can exist and
ought not to endure among men. But the idea
which I say they are to carry oat as special
compensation for these troubles and sorrows is
this: Dreadful as they are, these fearful truths
run through the whole history of mankind, that
whatsoever else may * be done to give stability
to an authority ; whatever may be done to give
perpetuity to institutions. however may be the
philosophy of it, it has been found that the only
imperishable cement'of all institutions has been
the bold blood of traitors. [Applause.] No
government has ever stood upon irresistible
foundation, which foundations were not built on
traitors' blood. It is a fearful truth, but meh id
as well avow it at once. Every blow you strike,
and every rebel you kill, and every battle you
win, reluctant as we are to do it, is adding a
decade,
it may be a century, it may be ten cen
turies, to the perpetuity of your Government, '
and the freedom of your children. [Cries of
"good" and applaus.]
Now, passing from that mint, and passing
over many other things thut it would be proper
for me to say tO you it the time served, and this
were the occasion, let me add that you are a
Union party. Your origin has been referred to
eight years ago. In one 'geese it is true, that
you are far older than that. I see before me •
here not only primitive Republicans and primi
tive Abohtieueds, but I see also primitive Dem
°crate. I see primitive Whigs. I see primitive
Americans, and if you will allow me to say so,
I myself am here, who, all my life, have been
in a party to myself. [Laughter and applause. Pi
As a Union patty I will follow you to the ends
of the earth, and to the gates of death. [Ap
plause.] But as an Abolition party, as a Re-
publican party * . as a Whig party, as a Demo- I
crane party, as an American party, I will not
follovv you one foot. [Laughter and applause.] 1
And this is true of the American people --
Whatever you may become hereafter, however
you may divide or scatter, while this war lasts,
and while the country is in this peril, call your
selves as you call yourselves to-day, as you sty led '
y ourselves in the call of this eonvention,a "Union
party." You are for the preservation of the
Union; You are for the destruction of this-re
bellion, root and branch; and, in my judgment,'

by the administration of the Federal Govern- ,

I think, to give another teraq of office [applause]

payment, while for the debts of the United States
the whole property of the country,is holden to ammo
the payment of both principleimd interest in coin.
These Bonds may 'be subscribed for in Sums from
SO up to any Magnitude, on the same terms, and
are thus made equally available to the smallest len
der and the largest capitalist. Ves, can be conl
verted into money at any moment,' and the holder
will have the benefit'ofthe interest. -
It may be,useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on which
interest is payable in gold i on the- 3d day sf March.
1864; was $765,975,00. -The interest on this debt for
the coming fiscal year will be, $4.5.937,1.?0,:whi1e the
customs revenue, in gold for the car : rent fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1864, has been so far at the rate
of over $100,000.800 per annum.
It will be seen that even the_ Present geld rev
enues of the Government Elio largely in , excess of
the wants of the Treasnry for the payment of gold
interest, while the recent increase of the tariff will
doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on
the same amount of importations, to $150,000,000
per annum.
