which impel us together, their fullest
sway. Let time do his office drving
tears, dispelling sorrow?, melting passion,
and making herb and grass and tree to
grow again upon the hundred battle-fields
of this terrible war.
Iiut this is recognition." It is for
mal recognition, to which I will not con
sent. -Iveeogniiion now, and attempted
permanent treaties about boundary, trav
el, and trade, and partition of territories,
would end in war fiercer and more disas
trous than before. Recognition ii abso
lute disunion ; and not between the slsive
and the free States, but with Delaware
and Maryland as a part of the North, and
Kentucky and Missouri part of the West.
IJut wherever the actual line, every evil
ey ot and mischief of disunion is implied in it-la!!-
And for similar rmtsons, sir, 1 would not
xt this time press hastily a convention of
the States. The men who now would
hold seats in such a conention, would,
upon both sides, if both agreed to attend,
come together full of the hate anJ bitter
ness inseKirib!c from a civil war. No,
sir ; let passion have time to cool, smd
reason to resume its sway. It cost thirty
years of desperate and most wicked pati
ence, and industry to destroy or impair the
magnificent temple... of this Union. Let
us le content iff within three years, we
shall le sible to retore it.

J Sir, ci:r destiny fx d. There is not
i one drop of rain which desoendinz from
:ho heavens, a:d feitiliihig our soil,
causes it to yield an
federate State, the South and the North
arc both indebted to them for an immense
public- service. The South has proved
her ability to maintain herself by her own
strength and resource?, without foreign
ai l, moral or material. And the North
and West the whole country, indeed
these great X)wers have- scrveJ incalcula
bly, by holding b:ck : solemn proclama
tion to the world that the Union of these
States was finally and formaly dissolved.
They have left to us every motive and
every chance for re-union ; and if that has
been the puqxsc of England especially
our rival so long ; interested more than
any other in disunion :md the consequent
weakening of our great naval and com
mercial power, and suffering, too. as she
has suffered, so long and severely because
of this war I do not hesitate to say that
she hsis performed an act of unselfish
heroism without cxsimplc in history.
Was such indeed her purpose; Ict her
answer before the impartial tribunal of
Hsterity. In any event, after the great
reaction in public sentiment in the North
and west, to be followed after some time
by a like reaction in the South, foreign
recognition now of the Confederate States
could avail little to delay or prevent Ihvil
re-union : if, as I firmly believe, re-union
be not only jossible but inevitable.
Sir, I have not spoken of foreign -Arbitration.
Tliat is quite another question.
I think it impracticable, and fear it as
dangerous. The very Powers or smo
other Power which have hesitated to
aid disunion directly or by force, might,
as authorized arbiters, most readily pro
nounce for it at hs.-t. Very grand, in

of alexico. And we must and will fol
low it with travel and trade, not by
treaty but by right freely peaceably, and
without restriction or tribute, under the
same Government and ilag, to its home
in the bosom of that Gulf. Sir, we will
not remain sifter separation f'Otn the
South, a pnnince or appendage of the
East, to bear her burdens and pay her
taxes ; nor hemmed in an isolated as we
are, nor without a sea-coast, could we
long remain a tUsiinct confederacy. IJut
ivhpr.w we married to the South or
East, v.-o bring with us three-fourths of
the territories of the val'cy to the Pocky
Mountains, and it may be to the Pacfio
tli grandes and most magnificent
dowcry which bride ever had to bestow.
And now the way to reunion ! What
so easy ? Behohl to-day two separate gov
emr.ments in one count ly, and without a
natural dividing line ; with two presidents
and cabinets, and a double Congress ;
and vet each under a constitution so ex
actly similar, to one to the other, that
a stranger could scarce discern the differ
ence. Was ever folly and madness like
this ? Sir, it is not iii the nature of things
that it should continue long.

or State in Europe. Put at hist, sir, the
people of these several States here, at
hom, must be the final arbiter of this
quarrel in America; smd the people and
Slates"' of the Northwest, the mediator
who shall stand, like the prophet, betwixt
the living ami the dead, that the plague
of disunion mav be stayed.
Ir, this war. horrible as it is, has
important

and, ;ili jour other observances of the
laws", forms, i.nd courtesies of war are
acts ot rectgnitiou. .Sir, tkes
doubt to-dav that there is a
government at ilichmond, and that it is a
belligerent ?" Even the S.-cretnry of
I State lias discovered it at last, though he
has written panderjus f-:o of pelished
rhetoric to prove that it is not. Will
continual war, then, without extended
and substantial success, make the confed
erate States any the less a government in
fact ?

You went to war to prove that we had a

months, all the false and pernicious theo-

but at the same time she cxageratcd our
aggregate strength and resources, and un
derestimated her own : and" we fell into
the same error ; and hence the original
and fatal mistake or vice of the military
policy of the North, and which has al
ready broken down the wsir by its own
weight the belief that we could bring
overwhelming numbers and power into
the field and upon the sea, and crash out
tho South at a blow. But twenty months
of terrible warfare have corrected many
errors, anl taught us the wisdom of a
century. And now, sir, every on? of
these lessons will profit us for ages to

bind us in a clser, firmer, more durable
union than ever before.

conf ss it openly, that African slavery,
instead of being a source of weakcrss to
the South, is one of her main elements of
strength ; and hi nee the ''military neces
sity," wc sire told of abolishing slavery,
in order to suppress the rebellion. Wc
have leanied, also, that the non-slave-ho'ding
white men in the South, millions
in number, arc immovably attached to
the institution, and sire its chief support ;
and abolitionists iiavo found out, to their
infinite surprise and disgust, that the
slave is net " panting for freedom," nor
pining in silent but revengeful grief over
cruelty and oppression inflicted upon him,
but happy, contented, attached deeply to
his master, and unwilling at least not
eager to accept the boon offreedm which
they have proffered him. I appeal to the
President for the proof, I appeal to the
fact that fewer slaves hsive evenped, even
from Virginia, in nearly two years, than
Arnold and Cornwallis carried away in
six months of invasion in 17R1. Finally,
sir, we liave learned, smd the South, too,
what the history of the world ages -ago,
and our own history might have taught
us, that servile insurrection is the least of
