COX, OF OHIO, Delivered in the House of Representatives, January 14, 1861. Mr. Cox's Plea for Conciliation and Nationality , OONTINUID. I wish that I could oontomplate secession as a peaceful remedy. But I cannot. I fear that it must be forcible disruption. Tbe Government Is framed so compactly in all its parts, that to tear away one part, you tear tbe whole fabric asunder. It cannot bo done by consent There Is no authority to give consent. Tbe Constitu tion looks to no catastrophe of the kind. It is a voluntary, violent, and tx parte proceeding. A majority of the States, and as creat majority of the people, are hostile to it. In this angry warlike disruption of the compact, where shall we find our more perfect Union, tbe establish ment of justice, domestic tranquility, provision for the common delense, the promotion of the general tsellare, and tbe security of tbe blessing of liberty to oureplves and posterity ? In this light, the ordinance of South Caroli na becomes an oiTeose; and in cise a sufficient number of others followed, to the bankruptcy of tbe remainder, or the Injury of any, it would be worse tbau an offense. In the case of Texas and Florida, Louisiana and California, for which millions were paid, tbe inquiry would be made whether it would not be a fraud so colossal that neither language cor law can measure it. Mr. Reagan. I would auk the gentlcmai wnen a dollar nai neeo paid lor Texas? Mr. (JU.. I cannot give way. Aly time limited. Besides, tbe same question was aBked In the benate; ana Judge Douglas answered it ihe country knows both question and answer, proceed. If, then, South Carolina can dispense with an amendment of the Constitution to bich she solemnly acceded on the 23d of May, 1 188, can not she dispense with other por tious of that instrument; eve, even with this American Congress 1 The whole framewor of our Government, by the action of separate States, may thus be swept away. Tbis Congress may be dissolved, if not by the military usur pation which dissolved the Long Parliament, or expelled the Council of Five Hundred from the Orangery of fat. Cloud, yet by the very imptv tecoe of its organism, as the Confederation dis solved under Ita imperfect article, to give ptai to this more perfect Union ! What juetiucation does south Carolina oiler lor mis act' "filteen states," Buja her declar ation, "have deliberately refused fur years to fulfill their constitutional obligations." it refers to the fourth article of the Constitution for the specific cause of grievance. But is there not now, since the vote In this House the other day on the personal liberty bills, when the demands of returning public Justice made even tbe sincere gentleman from Illinois Mr. Love jot recedo l. 1 . i i , l . r . iruut ma uuramm-u rvuauuuuiu uupe ui curing these evihT Again: is there not the Supreme Court, as to whose fidelity no question is raised in me bouln ( And are these peculiar wrongs remediless in that forum 7 The Governor of Kentucky has already arraigned tbe recreant ex ecutive of unio lor bis delinquency under kindred constitutional clause. Why may you not exhaust your remedies in the Courts before you raise the ensign of revolt? If you would have publio opinion correct the errors of the North us to fugitives from justice and labor, already assurances come from all quarters that such re medy will be given. ' Kepublican Governors and Legislatures are beginning to recedo from thei aggressive acts. Already Ohio has begun this work of redress. The fugitive slave law may be tho ostensible reason lor secession, or ancillary to toe real grievance. Aside from certain economic rea sons, which have ever impelled South Carolina, and wbicb 1 will not now consider, the real grievance consists in the apprehension of slave insurrections and abolition, under the auspices ot an Executive who, tbouch not vet inauzu rated, was elected on a prlnclplo of hostility to tbe social syetem ot tbe bontb. Ur, to give It tbe strongest statement, which 1 find In a pam phlet, signed by (lie member from Arkansas (Mr. landman), " I no Kepublican candidates were elected upon a platform destructive cf our rights, brandiug our institutions as infamous, decreeing tne equality ot tbe negro witb our selves and our children, and dooming us, in tbo end, with murderons certainty, to ail tne nor- rors ot insurrection and servile war." lie holds: "that to Imprison slavery forever in the States where it now exiBts, will, in time, overbur- then the land with tbe predominating increase in tbe ratio ot blacks to whites, until there will be a conflict for supremacy of races, and the blacks will bo exterminated; 0r else the white man must abandon his coun try forever to the negro." i will grant the mil iorce 01 miscar, tuougnnoi tne sulliciency of this or any mere fear, as a cause to justify revolution. Tbe Union men of tbe North be gan to warn against the dawning of this dan gerous geographical movement in 1856. They repeated then, and then not In vain, the fare well words of Washincton. From evrv nrsu and bustiog which a Democrat could command, this evil day was prophesied. But we vera OiSiandras. Unbelieving men derided us as doughfaces, and sneered at ui as Union-savers. Tbe patriotic cnoate, in one or bis weird and wondrous prophecies, in 1855, with the nain of anxiety and fear upon bis brow, put on record Indeliberate and Inextinguishable opposition to this geographical party. He regarded the contest then as the stupendous trial and peril of our national life. Admitting faults south and faults north, yet turning to the battle years of the Republic and its baptism ot fire, be ebrank aghast at the moral treason of attempt ing to weave and plait the two north wings of the old national parties Into a single northern one, and cut tbe southern wing off altogether, as neither far-sighted nor safe, however new and bold. Let me give his statement of the complaint, for he stated It In advance as strong ly as it can now be stated: To combine these parties thus against eaoh other tea- graphically to take the whole vast range of the free tjtaies, lying together, sixteen out of thirty-one, seven teen millions out of five or six and twenty millions the most populous, the strongest, the most advanolng and lorm tnem in uaiiation against ine lewer numbers and slower gromth and .waning relative power on tha other aide; to bring this sectional majority under party drill and stimulus of pay and rations; to offer to II, aa a party the Government of our country; Its most coveted hon ors; Its largest salaries; all Ita sweets of patronage and place, to penetrate and fire so mighty and so compact a maaa with Ihe silll more delicious idea that they are moving for human rights and the equality of man; to call out iheir clergy from the pulpit, the library, the bed -side of in dying, the chair of the anxious Inquirer, tha hearth of the bereaved, to bless such acrusade; to put requisition every species of rhetoric and sophistry to Impress on tbe general mind the sublime and impressive dogma that all men are born free and equal, and that such a teonratihlcal party la a well-adapted meana to that end does this strike you as altogether in the spirit of Washington and Franklin, and the preamble to the Constitution, and the Farewell Address? Does it strike yon that it carried out it will prove to be amer .sum mer excursion to Moscow? Will there be no blvouack In Ihe snow, no avenging whiter hanging on retreat; no Leipslr, no Waterloo? Has the avenging Winter indeed come ! God in his mercy foi bid! That crusade railed in ito. What a risk we ran then! It succeeded in 1860. What a peril is now upon us! What a cruBade it was which has produced it! I will remember that my own Republican competitor lor mis seat was auoted in the Blackwood Magazine, with Tory delight, over the anti-slavery revolution which he preaohed in this House In 1856, and which he would have ushered In with Bunker Hills, and other battle-fields ol freedom. But admitting tbe source of this great peril to lie. as it is admitted, In Republican asoen danoy: still, I atk, is it remediless in tbe Union? Admitting an you ciaim oi uanget toyonr States from this sectional triumph; admitting that yon are right In concerting for your own Jirotection yet is It right, fair, or just to rush orward, regardless alike of friends and foes, to chasm where no guarantee can be aiked or of fered! Give ui one more chance to anneal to tke returning reason ol the North, now that it is startled by tbe fulfillment of these prophesies ana warnings, it you do not, what tbenT You will give to your enemies tbe advantage whioh Deionga to you and to us. mey are alretdy eager tosetzo tne legiBiative as well as tne ex ecutive departments. They talk of reforming tne supreme oourt lor their purposes. I bey who have taught and praotloed the breaches of civil discipline, are becoming tbe conservators of public order. On your retiracy.'thty will filch trom its old guard the ensign or tbe Uonstitu tion. Why, to break op this Government bt- tore a full bearing'of tha grievances, is to be worse even than Red Republicanism ! Shall it be said that some of our friends of the South are worse than the Red Communists of France? So it would seem, and so I will prooeed to prove. Apprehension of evil! It was the argument of despotism in France in 1851. Louis Napol eon used it for his bad purposes; but the French Republicans denonnced it. Let me draw the analogy. In article forty-five of the French Constitu lion, it was enacted: "Le President de la Bepubllque est elu pour quatre ans, etn'est reellgible qu'spret un Interval! de quatre annees." Aimitair IIHori,ne, lrl, Apitndie, In article one hundred and ten, It was further enacted: 'Lorsque, dans le derniere annee d'une Legislature PAssemblee natlonale aura emla le vocu que la Consti tution eoitmoJiue en touton eu partle, il sera procedea coiio revision ue ismanvie resuivanie. "Le voea exprime par I'Assemblee ne era cenvertl en resolution detinilive qu'apre trol deliberations succes sive, prises cliaoune a un moisd'iutervall et aux trols quarts aessunragea exprlmes. "Lenombredes volant ne pourra etremolndre de cinq cents Thus, in 1843, Louis Napoleon was elected President for four years, tbe constitutional term. ne was by tbe one butdred and tenth article, ineligible to a re election except alter an inter val of four years. Ilia term would have exnlr- ed in may, 1859. The summer of 1851, in France, was signalized by vague apprehensions or a rcvou, wnen ine president should const!, tutionallr CO out. Under this annrehenalnn the National Legiulaturewere summoned to change ineionBiiiuiion. it required tnree express bal lots of tbe AB4embly,taken at a month's interval, with three-fourths of tbe Assembly, and at least five hundred votes te be given, before the Con stitution could bo so changed as to continue Napoleon in power, Hereupon arose a parlia mentary struggle, enequaled in any fornrn. It was before the giant intellects of France were exiled by the perfijityof its ruler. uero was a country like nance, witb sixty joirs ci rouii.'ai vicissiauo, wnerdn every tra dition and compact had been violated: and vet even there, Ihe Constitution of the new Repub lio was invested with such a sauctitv. that it defied the majority of the Assembly to change is. ine LiaiayeiteK, tne Hugos, tne Lamar- tines, tne Airican usneraip. Lamonciere. Chan- gamier, Cavaignac, Bedeau, l.edo, struggled against (his change, with an eloquence radient with French fervor, and inspired with the genius of creat deeds. Their President had sworn to be "faithful to tho Democratic Re public, one and undivisible, and to f'ufil the duties imposed by tho Constitution. " At lencth a vote was taken. There ner 446 for the ameudment; onlv S78 against it a majority 01 iua; um noienougn: not ine requl ing three-fourths; The cralty President. find ing be could cot change tbe Constitution in the constitutional manner, began to ply the pop ular will for his purposes. Tbe Consols Gen era ux demanded, and two millions people peti tioned for the change. But the Republicans, moderate ana red, flood tneir ground. Even Prcudbon, blood-red Communist, from bis oris on of St. Pelagic, wrcte Girardin that universal sufferage would not be price enough for such a Dreacn ot tne uonstltuliou. l lie great question was reierrea to a committee, or wbicb De Toe queville was chairman. He, too, withstood the pressure of power. The will of the minority, for whose protection constitutions are made, be came, through tbe constituted mode of amend ment, the will of the majority: nay. of the State. Just as nine States in this Union bold our Con stitution in Hutu quo, against the will of tbo remainder. These loyal Frenchmen appealed to tbe nation, against the adherents of the Bour bon, Orleans, and Bonaparte. "No," they said, 'we will not give up the reposo of France, at the price of quieting apprehension of future re volt." They thus confined tho enemies of tho Republic to the circle of the Constitution, from which they could not break without crime They declared that the prolongation of the term of Napoleon was a crime, impious and parrcidnl. When it was said that Napoleon would override the Constitution with force in 1852. if not be- foro, they answered: "bucua crisis will bere volution, arising from a violation of the funda mental compaot In that case we declare that enveloped in tho flag of France, we will do the uty which the salvation of tbe Republic im- On the other hand.it wasurtred, as it is here urged, tnat u tnet;onatitution was not broken. there would be dangers more fatal. By a fore knowledge of disaster, it was urged that the end of Napoleon's term must be a convulsion, bich the Assembly, acting; on an apprehen sion eugnt to Dina in advance. To lave him from perjury, a majority of the Assembly were iliing to commit it themselves. So now. ac cording to my theory, south Carolina would would break the Constitution and her oath of realty in apprehension ol an aggression which the President elect, even if he would, hag no power to commit. J lie summer oi ibji passed in trance A train and again had the minority of tbe Assembly rescued the Constitution from civil dethrone ment. I bey triumphed in tbe forum of reason. But stay ! Io a night in the midst of the de bates cf the Assembly on that fatal Decem ber night, tbtusurper seized tbe reins of power and like a thief, by a nocturnal surprise, he lenced every voice but his own. muzzled the press, struck down tbe Assembly, transported its leadors without judgment, made his Senate of mock Dukes, and surrounded himself with the bastards of his race. He illustrated the ory of a reign based on nullification, force. perjury, and fraud! And is this the banquet to bich tbe Amerloan people Is invited, bv tho among us who hate Red Republicans even worse than black? Let the Amerioan freeman from this example, remember this lesson: If political compacts liko our Constitution, be broken, the limits of authority are effaced. Right suocombs to force. It signifies little hetber such acta are done by Executive nsar pa tion, military compression, congressional action, or State secession; tbe Goverment Is one: states woiuu win not Keep inviolate tbe xed principles of constitutional right, repudiate their own strength, assassinate their own life. tarnish their own glory, and will receive and deserve the ill-starred fate of France! In whatever form these infractions may come, his tory has but one answer for tbeir effect. When law is defied successfully, division will come armed with tenfold terror. Force will be ar rayed against forco. Tbe brute rules and rea son Jdies. If not resisted, there is but one alternative; yokes of wood instead of cords of silk, and yokes of iron instead oi yokes of wood. Tbe red specter of revolution, or the gentler movements of acquiescent Infraction of the or ganie law. There ia but one step from the Capitol to the 1 arneian rock. After centnne of brave struggle, thus France lost the Renub lio. What shall we say of America, with her eventy years crowded with the tronhiea of her success and greatness?

It would seem, from the news we have to-day, that a system of espionage andde- li-uviuu uy iorce uai aireaay Deen begun in Mississippi, upon steamers from tbe North. That,mighty nver.of two thousand.miles extent! uuo ui Kuuse inuuvHrieg aouoies tne parent stream in its lengtb, witb its SbU.uuO.OOO worth cf steamers, doing tbe business of twelve States, with an area of one million two hundred thousaui squaro miles drained by Its waters from the shows and timbers of tbe North to tha sun and blooms of tbe South will ever remain in the Union! It was the necessity for Its use ana outlet wnicn, in part, oaiied lor tbe Constitu tion seventy-five years aeo. Aa the veteran Ren. eral Cass told me, the sparse population in my own State, of which he was one, were even, then reaay to rise in arms, in consequence of a provis ional treaty with Spain, which did not adequate ly provide for the coveted riparian privileges. And now, after a nsnfruot of three quarters of s century, not only the commerce, the honor. and the rights of the West, but the protesting tunica ui stature, isiiiug I rum vatiey ana Bill, in summer rains, in gold washing stream and smiling cultivation ; nay, progress itself, which is the life of the West which has mtde it de serve the poet's phrase, applied to ancient Latl um, wArre gltba, utqut paten rmi progress, which ia the stride of a god across the continent all these agencies would conspire to redden the Mississippi to float onr unequaled produoe between its banks to the sea! It is Industry which would thus decree : and it would execute ita own edict. Witb us, not gold, nor oottor.but in. DUSTer is kino! However homely its attire, it wears the spiritual pnrple, and on its brow tbe coronal oftearded grain, impearled with the priceless sweat ot independence It will stretoh its scepter from the river unto the ends nf tha earth! Neither imposts, nor tariffs, nor ob structions, nor foreign control, nor hazard of foreign war, can hedge in ita empire. These rights of transit and outlet are ours by nse, by purchase, by possession; and onrsthey will re main. Leaving these elements of strife unstirred. tbe secession movement may vanish into a fool ish dream a specter of the night, which will depart when the dawn shall again environ ns in the cycle oi ltsieiioities! But, as to these vague apprehensions of ag gression from the President eleot. Would it not b best to swalt bia entrance Into newer? What overt aoi naa ne yet aone, or nis party, in a t ed erai way r it you resist now, it should be against the States whose legislation is hostile; not against tho General Government, wbicb baa done yon no wrong. When that overt act ia done which you fear, you will find tbe northern Democraoy ready to join you In the defense ot your rights and the vindication of jour equal ity of privilege. Will southern statesmen look a few facts in the fao, col with that dumb gaze which dead ens the will and paralyzes tbe iutelleot, but with that large roundabout common-sense whioh dis tinguished her early statesmen ?.
