God of mercy, watch abore us, God of mercy, guard and love us And keep the Union strong, Midst the dangers that surround us. Mend the band that firmly bound us, And bonnd us for so long. Not as bands of iron bind us; As by torce they had confined us, But as with silken chain, Light of weight, and fair to seo Finn ot hold, but always free ; Oh make it strong again. Not with blood, to blur and stain it; Not by war, can we maintain it, But thine Almighty hand Yet may save, when mortals falter; Should we bend us at thine alter, 0 Wilt Thou mend the band ? Guide us Thou, who first did guide them, Guide us Thou, who stood beside them, Those heroes brave and free ! Let bonds fraternal yet unite us, And Peace, with blessings, yet delight us 0 God we trust in Thee. J. S B. JPolitioal. SPEECH OF HON. HIESTER CLYMER, OF BERKS COUNTY, IX TIIE SENATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, March bth, 1863. On the amendment, (inviting General McClellan to visit the Capitl,) to the joint Resolution ten dering the use of the Senate Chamber to Ex-Gov ernor Johnson and Wright. MR. SPEAKER: On this day, at this hour, in this place, a great issue is on trial, fraught with the interests, not only of the present, hut of the future ; and if I, in the decision of this issue, have acted a part, however ua important, I shall hereafter look back to this day, to this hour and tc this place, with feel ings of no little gratification. The issue involved is not one of persons ; it is one of high principles going back to the foundation of this government. It is, sir, whether the loyalty of the citizen is to be judged of by his fealty and adherancc to an administration, or whether it is to bo deter mined by bis fealty and adheranee to the (Government of the United States. ln order to decide this question, it is r.ec essary to present this brief exposition cf the situation of affairs—that without a Coastitu tion there could have been no Government and no Cuion, and that unless there is fealty and adherance to the Constitution, there can be no true loyalty to the Government and Union based on it. That is the issue to be tried to day. Disguise it as you may—at tempt to confuse it for party purposes, party reasons, and by party chicanery—the issue presented by every Republican Senator who has preceded me in this discussion, is that my loyalty is to be tested, not by my adher ence and devotion to the Constitution of the United States, but by my adherence to the administration of Abraham Lincoln, the pres ent occupant of the Presidential chair ! I say to you, sir, I saj to every Senator, I say to the people whom I represent, I say it to the people of this State, that there is uo such test known to the Constitution, nor to any tribunal before which I, you, or any one can ever be gammoned to answer. I re peat it that the Government is founded upon the Constitution ; that the administration is a mere creature of the Constitution and the Government; and where, in defence of that Constitution and the Government erected upon it, an administration strays from its principles—strays from the pathway cut by our ancosters through the rock of uncertain ty aud danger—then he is only a truly loyal man who uses every effort to bring back the administration to the old beateq path which avoids the dangers of fanaticism and error. That is the question to be tested here and now, in the vote upon the resolutions. That is the question to be decided ; and the peo pie of this State, outside of these halls, will so consider it; and I now, as heretofore, ap peal to the people from whom springs all power to sustain me, and those who may vote with roe in deciding this question as best befits our judgment under our oaths. What is the question presented ? It is a proposition to invite Andrew Johnson,'the so-called Governor of Tenne3se e, to address the people of Pennsylvania from the senate chamber of this State. I have various rea sons for opposing this proposition. In the Grst place I here boldly proclaim that ho is not at this hour and never has been, by the Uanstitution or under the laws, the Govern or of the State of Tennessee, except when years ago he was elected to that office by the people. I say, sir, that his appointment by the Pre c ident of the United States to that position was a usurpation of power on the part of the President, and that there is no warrant under the Constitution, no authori ty in the laws for his appointment; and that every act which he has assumed to perform by virtue of his unconstitutional and illegal appointments has been in derogation of the rights of a sovereign State, and in fiat viola of the Constitution of thd United "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVEitY FREEMAN'S RIGHT."—THOMAS Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1863. States* I say, sir, furthermore, that no such position as Military Governor of a State is unknown to the Constitution of the United States—that there is nothing in that instrument which authorizes the President of the United States to appoint a Military Governor of any State—and that to make such an appointment was to create the State ol Tennessee a military province— and that his appointment was made to carry out and subserve the purposes of the present administration, which is to reduce nil the States of this Union to the condition of mere dependencies of a consolidated oligarchy or despotism. That is my position as far as concerns this pretended Governor of Tenness ee. Andrew Johnson has not been for years and is not now, the Governor of that Slate ; and I will never recognize him as such, by voting for this resolution. But, sir, without regard to any question of his official position, take Andrew Johnson as an individual, as suming that he is rightfully clothed with the robes ol office, and may constitutionally ex ercise the duties of that high position; even then, I say to you, Air. Speaker, that I never by my vote will allow a man to come into these halls and from this place speak to the people of this great State in support of what I know to be illegal, unconstitutional and ty ranical acts of the Federal government. I know, sir, that Andrew Johnson has gone as far as the farthest, and is ready to go still further, to destroy, to uproot, to upturn ev ery principle upon which this great and good government of ours was founded. I know that he has bent with suppliant knee before the throne of power ; I know that, for peif or some other consideration, ho l as succumb ed to every measure pre~ented to lam lor ap proval or disapproval; and I know that In speeches delivered in the capitols of other States he has enunciated doctrines which, 'f adopted by the people of the gce-.t North, would be subvercire of iuciv d sal freed >in, and peisonal right. Sir, by no vole of mme can any person holding such views ad lress the people of Pennsylvania in this chamber Never, sir, never so long as I have r. right to forbid him. Let me, sir, tc<s f this question by contrast. Lot me ask the majority of this Cenate, whether he who has lately been baptized the votes of three hundred thous and men in the Empire State of this Union one cf the greatest cf living statesmen and most patriotic of : or.—Horatio Seymour— whether, if that distinguished Governor were oa his vray from the East to tho West through this eapitol, v/oaid he get a single vote from the Republican tide cf this cham ber permitting him to addrco3 hi s folic v-ut- izens in this hall l Not ore —not one.— Would Joel Parker, the Governor of New Jersey, elected by the people, gel one vote for such a purpose? Would David Turpie, who by the votes of the people of Indiana is the successor o" one of the men whom, by the resolution, it is proposed to have adures: us—would David Turpie be permitted by tho votes of members on tho other side of this chamber to occupy this hall for the purpose of delivering Jan address ? Not one vote would he receive. Yet he is the chcce.i rep resentative of the majority of the pernio cf Indiana—anointed by their sanction, baptis ed fcv the majority of their votes. Not one vote would be get, and you know it. Y-cn, gentlemen on the other side, fear the verdict of the people ; you have reason to know what it means ; and he who comes to you clothed with all the glory of the popular will, but lately expressed, you will cast oIT for a mere hireling of Federal patronage and power. MR. LOWRV, IS not tho man of whom the Senator speaks a disloyal man. MR. CLTMER. The people of Indiana have sent him to the United States Senate, and you can't deny or question the choice of a sovereign State. But, sir ! who is the indi vidual whose name we ask shall be embraced in this resolution ? Who is he whom we would ask to come here and receive the hos pitalities of this State ? lie who next to him who was " first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his cnintrymen," is the people's idol—he who amid doubt and gloom, upon more than.one occasion, has rescued or der from anarchy—he, who, upon more than one occasion has been the means of swing this government—he who has the great heart of the greatest army upon this continent throbbing every day, every hour, every mo ment in unison with his own—MAJOR GEN. GEO. B . M'CLELLAN !!! He, sir, has been denied the hospitality of a Legislative body in which you Republicans have a ma jority. You will not vote to tender him those hospitalities—and why ? Because he too is annoiuted not only by the voice of a great people, but by the edoration, of the hearts of the Army of the Potomac. You will not pa3s such a resolution if his name is to be included. No, you who have the pow er now for a few months or years will nut sanction anything that savors of what the people desire. l r ou are determined that they never shall be seen, never heard. That is the determination that you are acting out here and elsewhere. I tell, sir, that those who have been disrobed and disowned by the people, who are the mere minions of ex ecutive power, and who submit to the sub version of the people's rights and liberties, I never will consent, shall speak from your chair to the people of this State—never, sir, n'evet'! It is known to you, sir, whoso legislative experience in this hail extends back to a peri od commensurate with my own, that I am not in the habit of wandering from the parti cular subject before the Senate to introduce general issues and extended arguments. But, sir, this debate has been far diverted from the original question. It has embraced all the subjects that conkl agitate the public mind at this time. If it had even rested there, I should have remained content. But gentlemen upon this floor have chosen to sin gle lae out amongst the Democratic Senators here—and refer to the probable results of my action upon my own future I am sir, an individual—individuals as compared with principles and great results are nothing. Principles and truth] are eternal. Man is mortal and goes to his kindred dust; but if, sir, in his person, in his acts in public or in private life, he represents truth, be represents principles—if when power, passion or prejud ice threaten to destroy the fights of the people he dare stand up in defence of them, he may die, he may go to hL fathers blessed or un blessed. A Hampden :u.i others have illus trated this. They have O onc down in gloom ; but they are now held up in brightness and in glory : and, sir, no matter what may be come of me in regard to this day' 3 action, I know that I shall be sustained when the pas sion and prejudice and violence of the hour have given way to the thoughts which govern men when they are not bereft of reason. I might iu this connection repel—repel in dignantly , repel with truth— the assaults that have been attempted to be made upon the great party with which 1 have the hor.o: to act. You sir, were here in April. l(.3l you will recollect that when the first was fired upen Port Sumter, that one shot fused the great heart of the people of this Stale anu presented it as a wall of adamant against rebellion and treason r.t the South. Yon know that without mea ure, that great heart. Democratic and Republican, poured cut everything for a common purpose. You rec ollect that in July, 1861, when we had been defeated upon the plains of Bull R'..n, when the army of the Republic came into YTashing ton with tattered banners; when there was fear and dismay there, here and elsewhere ; when the Republic was tottering and the President was almost suppliant for his place, you know there waR no division of sentiment or feeling. Ycu further know that in the congioss of the United States, on the 22d of July, &f ter that defeat, a resolution was offer ed dehuiug uiid setting forth the object of the strug.de.—You know hat that icioluiion v.*os adopted oy a nearly unanimous vote. You know that in that hour of foarafcd dismay of trial and dai.ger, that iesolutioti came as the voice of hope from Heaven. It reassured the people; it told them that this was to be no visionary or fanatical struggle ; but it was to be pursued for the puipose of sustaining the Constitution and restoring the Union cf our fathers. ar?d that when that object should bo be attained, peace would reign once more. hat was the result 7 From the disorganized and helpless and beaten materials of that ar rnv he whom it is asked to-day to invite U> the cr.pito 1 of ins cvn State, and to whom that boon is denied by Republican Senators, sei zed hold of those discordant materials and with trie hand and mind of genius prepared t'ncia again to go upon the- enemy. I will not trace his history. It is written imperisha bly upon the annals of the past; and it will shine in thoao cf the future. Rut I will turn ft,. - a moment to a period a year later , vrheu another disaster met our arms on the same field, and when the par.ic- Pres'dent and his advisers again crouched with fear within the walls of Washington) when they felt that the Cloths and Vandals were at their gates, when they were provi ding for flight to some spot of safety, and when ttsj tout power and place was van ishing. Again in palsied fear they appealed to him whom for party purposes they had degraded, and again, like a iruo patriot, like one who never acts frutn sordid or improper motives, he assumed command of that routed and demoralized army, and in less that three weeks he had again organized it and had commenced the pursuit of the common enemy across the hills of Maryland and into a plain where many of those who now hear me met the enemy face to face. What did he do? A second time saved the Republic—he save it by snatching victory out of the very jaws of defeat; and I now place upon record the universal sentiment of every man who served under him, and that if it had not been for the confidence of the army of the Potomac in General M'Clellau, Pennsylvania wouid have suffered an invasion which would have been destructive to the life and property of her people ; and yet Senators refuse to receive the protector and defender of the State in the halls of her Capitol. Rut what is tke subse quent history of this matter ? Shattered and broken, his legions lay awhile fo" rest, to be clothed, to be fed, to be restored to their wonted vigor ; and then he was in pursuit of that enemy whom he had met at Antietam and at South Mountain, and defeated. Rut, sir, when he was about to strike his blow, he was again pursued by the miscreants who wished to divert this war from the purposes set forth in the resolution of July r , 18G1 and dragged down from his position as command er of the army. I He left it dispirited, broken hoarted. do jected—obedient, it is true, but without nerve, without vigor, without power. He left it at the dictation and c milliard of the ultra Abo litionists of the North.—George I*. M'Clellan was nt an Abolitionist ana therefore he was not a general!! ! The remaining histoiy of that campaign is written in blood disaster. But sir 1 will tell you that along the camp fires of the Potomac at night, no soldier goes sleep without praying God for blessings upon the head of his commander ; and oh ! sir, if those in power could summon the resolution to cast behind them the prejudices and the passions of those who do not wish to see this Union restored unless slavery bo abolished, that noble commander would be put at the head of that army and he would carve out victory and would bring back to us once more triumph and peace and union. I know it, they know it, you, gentlemen, know it; and if you had the manhood which you should possess, you wouid by joint resolutions speak this truth to the powers that be and make the l hear you ! 11 Mr. Speaker, it may be proper for me at this tirr.e to state what I believe to be the purposes of the great party with which I nave the honor to act. In the words of an other, who i.ora his exalted position has a right to speak, I will tell you " that the Demo cratic party has never agreed, does net now agree, and have no intention of agreeing in future, to a dissolution of the American TTu lou- ' an 1 I will say to yea farther, that we propose to accomplish the preset. ation of the government and the Constitution by the union of the sword with the olive branch. For those who will resist the power of t' e government—r<>t the power of the ad min:stra-tion, not its unconstitutional acts, but the power of this government righ'ful ly administered under the Constitution— we have the swcrd. For those who are trilling to submit to its benign, its health ful and its pL-zcefui sway, we hold ou t the olive branch of peace. And here T will say to you sir, (and in saying it I feel that T cvpvess the opinion of the great Democratic partv of this State,) that vra be lieve, and will ever believe that the laws which have been passed by the Congress just ended—the coutiscation and other acts which have steeled the heart of the people of the South—there is no such thing as a Union man left in those States now engaged in reb ellion, and we tell you that we intend to melt the heart of that people b) repealing your unjust, your unconstitutional laws; and' when jf. is melted, we expect cut of that heart to bring peace and happiness to the people, un le s you have among them allies who are attached to your cause, devoted to the prin ciples of the Constitution and its guarantees, and desiring its protection— that you can never, exterminate or subjugate them. But we tell you, sir that if you will do on ly what the Constitution r.nd the principles springing from it demand, on every hill and and in every vailey there will fx? raised up allies for our assistance. The leader-) who desire place and power may be against us, but when the people of the south, recollecting the glories of the past, and "looking to those of the future, feel that every right is to be guar anteed, every privilege restored to them, them as 1 believe mv God, I believe that they will come hack to the Constfution of the old gov ernment, and the old Union. I tell you now Mr. Sneaker, that all the blood, all the treas ure you have spent or may spend, will be in vain, unless you repeal the unconstitutional, oppressive, and tyrannical laws which were enacted by the last Congress; and I will say in passing (the Supreme Arbiter being my judge.) that if that Congress had never met, or if, having met, they had simply voted ap propriations and dissolved, leaving the whole question to be settled under the resolution adopted in July, 1861, this coutest would eia now have been settled, and at this day we would be enjoying unity, peace and amity. Upon the heads of those who prevented such action—upon the heads of those men who en acted those unconstitutional and damnable laws, and did everything in their power to coinbino the southern heart against us forev er, be the curse of blood and murdering that fill this land. If the demon of destruction and of hate—if the father of evil himself could have been there dictating their councils, actu ating them to deeds which must result in the utter dismemberment of this Union, he could not more thoroughly have effected his hellish purpose than it has been effected by the dominant majority in the Senate and in the House during the last Congress. And when the history of these times comes to be writ ten, (and 1 pray to God that the historian of this era may not be obliged to write of the de cline and fall of the American Republic, but that he may only write of its trials past and present aud of its future greatness,) he wil. record the hour a lien the nation came so near to desolation and death, and he will ascribe the disasters of that hour to the unremitted, persistent, diabolical machinations of Aboli tionists in and out of the last Congress. Such a historian, if ho has the philosophy of Hume—if he has his iar seeing penetration and can traco effects trotn causes, cannot fail in the contemplative hour of the future to say what I say at this moment, that to them solely and sheerly belongs the terrible ca latn ty that still darkeus and enshrouds this |aud. lu conclusion, siij what do we pro- I TI3FIMS: BLSO PER.
