'Mr. Speaker, I can record the Abolition
proclamation-of the President in no other
ight than as " an assumption of power, not
delegated by :the Constitution and laws of
the country. but in derogation of both.”—-
This may seem like strong language to emf
ploy in reference to the " powers that be,"
which, inspiration teaches us. “ are ordain
ed of God." but, in the fear of 11771:, I be
lieve it to be true—and if, in times like
these, I should fail to utter' it, I should
deem mys‘elt unworthy of a seat upon this'
floor. Am I not fully sustained in the‘ulle
gation,that the proclamation was a usurpa
tion of powertnot warranted by the Con
stitution and laws, by the offictnl declara
tions of the President himself, as quoted
above? But, for the sake of argument,
suppose it be conceded that under the plea
of ”Military neceseity " the President had
the power to issue the proclamation, whnt
practical good can result to either race
from its exercise? For my life lounnot
see how either can be benefitted, but, on
the contrary, I can see nothing but “evil,
and only evil. and that oontinunlly.”——
Why, sir, look at it for a single moment.—
Here are some three or {our millions of un-3
fortunate bvings, thrown upon their own
resources, many of them without sufficient
intelligence to appreciate the blessings of
i liberty, and wholly incapable of taking care
ofithemselves. This, I admit,may be their
misfortune, rather than their fault, but it
is. nevertheless, true, hud hundreds and
thousands of them: when left without a
protector, would be obliged; either to subsist
on the cold charity of the world. or go
down to, premature grams from absolhte‘
starvation. Then again, tliosel of them who i
would be able and willin 'to‘; work. would)
come in direct competing; with the laborl
of white‘men and women. ’ nd consequert-i

Mr. Speaker, we are standing on the very
verge ofa yawning gulf of insmedinhle ruin,
wuth scarce a hope left for escape. Those
scenes which the lamented Webster prayed
God might ne’er full upon his vision, have
fallen upon cars. [)0 we not “ behold States

Wlllcll have been at work {or many years, chief
among which may be mentioned the «um».
of men North and South. If there rztrenuia

so much. But unlortunately the concern»;
tivc men of the country, those whose voices l
have uniformly been raised against fanaticism
on the one hand and on the other, are equally
involved with those who brought the calamity
upon us. Crimination and recriminution, how
ever, can do no good. 1 suppose the best
we can do is to support the right and condemn
the wrong in the future, unhl by the pcacelul
