reject almostcbnterriptuously the blessings of God, and seem utterly insensible to the favors he. has showered upon us. Look over th pages of ancient history, sir; look round the world as it is; and where will you find, more freedom, more happiness, less oppression, less misery, than in this coumry? And yet we seem from lime to time raady to reject all these ebments of public and private prosperity, and to ilea troy this government, the world's best hope and our own. Instead of this eternal sys tem of complaining, we should bow our knees in gratitude, to ilim who gave us these blessings, and who, I sometimes fear will strike us with judicial blindness, as He did His chosen people of old. That we have difficulties sometimes to encounter is but the commonlotof human ity i individual as well as national; but when these come, let them be adjusted in a proper spirit of compromise, and the fu ture may bring us all that the fondest as piration can desire. " This petition asks us to take measures to.disolve this Union peaceably. It pro fesses to come from the followers of Wm. Penn. the ereat apostle of peace: from a portion of a most respectable Society of Friends, whose h:gn moral quaimes no mm snnreciates better than I do. But What kind of a proposition is this? To dissolve this Union peaceably.' I say it with all proper deference to the petitioners but I say it emphatically, tliat he who ex oects such a result is either already in an insane hospital or ought to be placed there. He who believes that such a gov ernment as this, with its traditions, its in stitutions, its promises of the past, its per formance of the present, and its hopes of the future, living in the heart's core of almost every American, can be broken up without bloodshed, has read human nature and human history to little purpose. No sir; the Gordian knot that binds us together will never be severed but by the sword. To talk, then, of dissolution, is to talk of war. Both are inseparably connected, and the evil day which brings the one wil brine- the other. And what kind of a war will it be? Such a war, sir, as this, the world has nnver seen. 1 he nearer we have been as friends, the more deadly wil be our feelings as enemies. It will have 0 - all the elements of a civil war oi an in - . m m testine war. Wherever the border may be, it will be marked by blood and confla gration from one end of it to the other. Far be it from me to weigh the injuries that each nortion mierht inflict upon the - - g - o other, and then strike the balance of evi with mathematical precision. It is enoug for me to know that ruinous would be the hones of both. And where is all this to end? If jealousies and fancied rival inte rests, or real grivances are to divide us into two confederacies, where is that division to stop? Similar causes will exist; they are inseparable from human nature; and ' we shall finally be reduced to State sover eignties, and may lead our fate in the fate - ot the ureeK repuoncs, sj vivimy portray ed by the ancient historians. Why, sir, it is but a year or two since, on the occasion of a war with Mexico, that a distinguished Senator from South Carolina, Mr. Calhoun, still unhappily detained from his place by sickness, de- meted in fflowins colors the danger of victorious generals returning from foreign conquest. I believed then, as I believe yet, that he greatly overrated the danger, and that there was a preservative force in this country, which would laugh to scorn the efforts of military power. And it was but a day or two since, that the other distin sruished Senator from South Carolina, Mr. Butler, now in his seat, pronoun ced a splendid eulogy upon Gen. Scott for the moderation he exhibited when he entered the capitol of Mexico. The Sen ator, if I recollect right, thought he deser ved some distinguished mark of his coun try's approbation for remaining faithful to her interests and his own duties, and not placing himself at the head of a Mexican kingdom. Few men, sir, have a warmer " personal regard for General Scott than I hare, and perhaps fewer still place a high er estimate upon his services "than I do. He has won a high station among the great captains of the age, and he has also won lmnenshable honor tor himseii and for his country. The campaign from Vera Cruz to Mexico is among the proudest . feats on military record. But, sir, with all this. I have no thanks to render him for the moderation to which the Senator from South Carolina alludes. I do not believe that the thought of such treachery ever entered his mind; nor do I believe that, if he had made the attempt, there was one American in the army who would have deserted the standard of his country to fol low the standard of a disloyal soldier. The stars and stripes would have still been the pillar of fire by day, and cloud by night, to conduct our gallant country men to that borne, whose associations nei ther time nor distance could weaken or sever. All honor, then, to General Scott, and to the army, for what they did and suffered; but there let us stop. I trust it will be long before we find a Rubicon in our country. But, sir, what will gentlemen say who anticipate such danger from military pow er to the danger to be apprehended to great sections of our country, when these are arrayed against each other in an armor and an attitude it is easy to foresee but impossible to prevent? The border would bristle with bayonets. Every command ing height would be crowned with its fortress. Standing armies would become a part of the permanent organization of each. And the probability is, judging from the lessons of history, that we shall be brought together again by some powerful leader, and find ourselves in a consolidated instead of a confederated country, under. God. "Nothing in oar judgment, has tend ed more to weaken the democratic party than having, heretofore, yielded too much to the favorite measures of federalism- banks, tariffs and extravagant expenditures by the federal government for internal ira- provements. This, together with cherish ing within its fold disorganisers, and men who have not a single principle, or feeling, in common with it, but who hang on its skirts to promote their own selfish purpo ses, have done it more harm than all other causes combined. The doctrine of conci- iation at the expense of principle, is dis rionest. The men who advocate it are not true themselves to the principles thev pro- ess, and would play the part ot uest, n the occasion were presented. The conci- lation of a man destitute ot principle, by giving him places of honor, and profit, is treason to men of principle and integrity.
