The wail of the heart broken over the dead i not so sad to tue as the reilizition of this fact. Rut all history, with a loud and unbroken voice, proclaims it, and the evidence of w hat the past ha been is conclu sive to my mind of what the future will be. Wherever in ihe wide of domain of human con dud a people once po-ses.-ed of liberty, with all power in their hands, have surrendered the-e great gift of Oud at the command of the usurj er. they have never afterward ptoven themselves worthy to regain their torfeiied treasures. Sir, let history speik 0:1 thi point Rend your ear and listen to the solemn warning which dis tant ages perpetually utter in the'y uneasy lum ber Four thousand year ol human experience are open and present for the study of tha Ameri cut people. St Hiding a we do the lat ;itid gre.ite-t republic in tin: mid-t of the earth, it be comes us most deepl v in this crii of our de-tin? to examine well tie cat err and the final fate of kindred governments in the past.

They were adopted by those wie and gibed mind from the models ot former times and applied to the want of the American people.

And in long alter years, when the descendent f the patri arch broke their prison doors in Egypt ana lay encamped in the wilderness, the omniscient presence came down and gave them a frame work of fundamental law. in which the popular will waa largely recognited. A system of juris prudence wa devised for the people of Israel which protected liberty and adrainisteted justice. Under its influence the feeble fugitive and homeles wanderer without bread and wiihout water 10 the desert became an empire of wisdom, of wealth, and of power. The lileral institutions of the Jewish theocracy produce 1 m tat es men, poet, historian, and warrior, who will con tinue to challenge the admiration of posterity by the splendor of their achievements n long a generation come and coon the waves of time. They lived withiu the immediate jurisdiction of Jehovah. They possessed the ark of the cove nant and took counsel with ministering angels directly from the portals of Paradise. With all these evidence ol celestial favor in their behalf, it is itot to be wondered that they claimed an ex einptU'ti from the change. ami mutation of hu man affairs, and laoasted th at the seal of perpetu ity had been impressed by the Divine hand on the pillar ol their government. Rut public virtue became leb niched; the popular heart corroded with the lust f conquest ami aif gain; primitive purity failed away under the baleful breath of embittered factions; the fire of ptrilism were smotheted bv r ankling hate and the thirst for re venge; and all thee evil pas. ions broke forth in the voice of a malignant majority clamoring tor a king akinv. In thith.urol disistrous eclipse, spirit of liberty tok her flight forever from the the hill of Jude a Thousands of years h ive rolled away since then The Holy Lain! hs been the theater of courlicts which rocke! the world as the throes of an earthquake.

A the S"n of the Morning fell from Heaven, so Rome fell from the luminous sphere of liberty never to hope again. The world grew dark a her light faled away, and ten centuries of. gloom i succeeded her downfall. And w hy perished this mistress of the earth? Not because the vandal ravaged her Iwirder; not heeau-e the Gaul burned to avenge the victim of Caesar; not because the Goth beat her gate to pieces; but because her people stibtnittert to the encroachment ol execu tive authority, lulled by the Syren voice of a false security, until at last they awakened to find their chain and manacle. forged and fastened.

The objects of its creation were lelt in no uncer tainty Its mission was clear and distinct by the terms ol the Constitution It came into exi-t-ence "in order to forma mnre pirfict union, entablixh juntice, inmre dnme$tte tranquility, pro tiiie for the rvminitn d fete. promote, the general welfare, and ireure the Llgin'j of libirty" to th at and all -ucceasi'lig j;enerailoitS of American citizen. Who will dare to rise in hi place and say thal'thi Government ha been administered during the 1 ist three vetrs in a mode even teud ing towanl the accomplishment of theve grand results? Has ihe ?Uiblihinent of justice been nnifitained? Thesword has been '.brown into the scales id justice, and there is not this hour a court between ihe two cens left tree to lecide the law a they have uniformly heu cculcd in England and America lr the last two hundred yeirs The very foundations ad civilized juris prudence hive been torn away, and the w hole edihVe is in ruins. The Magna Charta iser.ed; the Habean Corpus is dead; the verv soul and spirit id' liberty is extinguished in the forum of the judiciary. To this sacred sanctuirr, more than to any other department of the Govetment, the blessings of liberty eie entrusted Uut has the pre-ent Administra tion made them secure? It is required to do so by the term of the Constitution. Let each min! give its own answer. Not one right w hich constitutes the freedom und sifety of the citizen but what hi been wickedly and wantonly viola tel. Prisons filled without indictment and with out warrant; long and bitter punishment, inflicted without trial or conviction; the whole jury sy teiu abolished by a stroke of the pen iu the hand of the Executive, r hi subordinate in crime; t.o witnesses brought to the face of the accused; no coutiel permitted to appear in hi behalf; his house broken pen and hi p tper search! in the mi'lst ot hi pallid and terrified wife and children; such me some of the evidence which exist on every hand that our free institution are hasten ing ro their overthrow. And not content with breaking down all the ancient safeguards of lib erty, new and malignant measures of legislation have been cnsxinualiy devised by a slavish Con gres by which to . more effectually reach, and torture, and grind the citizen. The most inno cent conduct, a harmless word, a simple look has been -enacted intolgUih. The hired hounds of arbitrary jxiwer finti' conspiracy and crime iu the friendly greeting of neighbor on their farm. Sneaking of ihe jerid ot 179" in England, that gteat modern philosopher, Henry Thomas Buckle, in his History of Civilizat'on, uses the following language, which I adopt is faithlully descriptive of the conduct, of the pirry now in pjw er, and of the time in which we live.

The baleful brood of political detructionist who now un happily posse the high seat of national authori ty di! iMit tlien want put!ic tranquility. Thev invokeil the storra which h snce niriel blo.x upon the land. They courted the whirlwind which has pnastrati the pro 1: res of a centurv in ruin. They dance! with a hellish glee around the bubbling cauldron of civil war and welcomed with ferocious joy every hurtlul mischief which flickered in it lurid nnd infernal timie. Com promise, which baa its origin in the love and mercy of Goal; which male peace and ratified the treaty on Calvary between Heaven and the revolted and releilious earth; which is the a -.-a 4 aaa . lunuimentai oasi 01 ail numm association, and by which all governments the world ever knew have been created and upheld; compro mise, which lools. rronounce a treasonable word, and skilful knaves cover with reproach, because they are enricltin them-elre at the ex pense of the national sorrow atid blood was dis carded bv th North and accepted by the South wheu offereal by Mr. Crittenden. By it dome lie tranquility could have been ensured. But an ulterior and destructive spirit ruled the hour and flood the nation with misery And since the breaking up of the fountain of the great deep who of thi party have labored to tranquilize our disordered affairs? Who ha endeavored, in th name of Christ and by the omuinotent power aif the principle which He left Hi Father' throne to proclaim and for which He drank the wormwood and the gall on the cro. to expel the cruel and ferocious demon of civil war that has howlt-d so fiercely for the list three year among the tomb of our young ami heroic dead? Not one, sir; not one. Wise and Christian measures, looking to recont i'iation and pe ce and union, have j been repeatellv spurne! by the Executive, and this legislative den wtment which he nolds in dur ess. At no alistant day, when the horror of this war -an n longer be home, the various proposi tion which have been made and rejected in be half of enlightenel negotiation nd a constitu tional restoration will be gathered up and hut led at those in pow er as au accusation more appalling, an indict ment more damning, than was ever lev eled against, a murderer upon hi trial. Nor can they, in that hour of their fear and calamity at which the rihteauis world will laugh and mock, hide their guilty heid under the assertion that the South will not treat for peace; yes, peace which shall restore the Union under the Consti tution .is it wa written by the fathers, and .1 it h-is been interpreted by the supreme judicial tri bunals. Why came that wasted figure, that gifted child of genius, the pure and elevated Stephen of (Jeorjiia. troni Richmond, on his way to ihis Capitol in the midsummer of 63? Was it a trifling cause that moved him? All the woild knows th.it his judgment and hi heart clung fondly and to the last to the old Govern ment, in whose councils he had won so much honor. It is equilly well known that he ha never embraced the suicidal doctrine of Slate seces-ion The right of revolut'on i the ground upon which he stands The inalig nant portion of the Southern pi e-s, too, such mis chievous and damaging prints a the Examiner and I'Hjuiier at Richmond, and the Register at Mobile, who coutinuallv cripple the interest and friends of hum mity in this baleful contest, as sailel Mr. Stephen for hi attempt, at negotia tion, which thev averted would lead to reunion. Yet, with these things well known, and perhaps much more, which now slumber in the secret ilrawersaif the Executive, this great messenger of peace, this most acceptable mediator between an estranged and misled tenple wa denied a hearing turne! back in silence; and the festival of de Ith commanded to proceed. The book of time it. all it ample folds contain no more in human or revolting spevtu-le. Those who love war for the mere sake of wr. when the same object can be better attaine! by the gentle and hoiv influence of peace, are monster of such frightful depravity that the blackest5 of those murdering minister, " who in their sightles substance wait on nature' mischief," appear a angel of light nnd benevolence in the compari son.
