A SPEECH DELIVERED IX X. Y. CITY, OCT. 10,
180'J, BY HON. A. J. HAMILTON OF TEXAS.
“ Fellow citizens of the city of New York :
Could I, by the exercise of some supernatural
power, present to those 1 left behind, the scene
upon which 1 now gaze, and bring hack the
answer which springs in every heart which
throbs willi a loyal feeling, you would be
thanked as alone would lie fitting for this over
powering welcome. I remember well, as I en
tered youi magnificent harbor hut a few days
east, for the first time in iny life, I could but
t impressed with the evidence before me of
the magnitude, the progress and greatness of
our country, as represented upon but one sin
gle spot of its country. But there was con
nected with it a painful throb, and it arose from
the recollection that all was now being imper
illed ; and whatever you. fellow citizens may
have supposed with regard to the progress of
this rebellion, or to the extent, so far as terri
tory is concerned, or the integrity ol the peo
ple of any section of the country, satisfied as
yon mav l>e in your minds that it would not
§o beyond the state of the south, X entertaiu a
itl'ereut opinion. I mean to l>e uderstood, if
it is to succeed where it is already attempted,
in my humble judgment, it will not stop there;
in short, that if the government of the I'niled
States as it existed helbre the rebellion is not
maintained in all its integrity, we may look
forward to a period perhaps not so remote that
some here present may not see it, when it will
give way here also, llad the theory now advan
ced throughout the south, that republicanism
was afailure. been put forth at the conimence
meutof tlie rebellion, it would have been nipped
in the bud. But when the arms and powder and
lead were all concentrated in the hands of the
governmentjthey raised theory: demoerreyis a
failure. We must get rid of the people of the
north,because they are democratic. Slavery
and democracy cannot live together. (Louii
and prolonged applause.) The only reply
which he made, so long a- he could make any,
to these statements as to the weakness of de
mocracy, was: ‘•gentlemen, by the time you
have got through with Uncle Sara, you will
find it strong enough lor common use.’’ (Loud
cheers.)
He had been what was called a loyal man to
the institution of slavery, hut the moment the
old flag was lorn down, he had told them that
they would make him not only an abolitionist
sympathizer, but an active practical abolition
ist. (Cheering.) He feared that there were
those here who still fancied that by some con
ciliatory measures thp south could lie brought
back to the old government. There could be
no greater fallacy. The loyal men of the south
were praying to get back into the Union with
out any condition or conciliation. Would any
man cousent that Jeff. Davis should ever lie
president of the United States? (Xo, no.”)
I do want to see the old government when
it shall have asserted its power, make a wise
and just discrimination between the guilty and
deluded. I want the really responsible trai
tors punished. 1 want the down trodden, tiie
ignorant, to be allowed to come back like the
prodigid sou and be forgiven. If we cannot
conciliate these men, what ean we do ? IShall
history record it that twenty-seven millions of
free men, women, and children, have not the
moral and physical power to strangle treason
in fifteen hundred thousand? Is republican
ism to fail on tins continent because that twen
ty-seven millions are not sufficiently conscious
of their duty to themselves, to the government
of their fathers, to humanity the wide world
over, to realize the fact that this rebellion can
alone lie crushed by physical force? I have
not a doubt bu' peace propositions null come
from the confederate government, hut they
will not come in the sliaiie of an unconditional
{iroposition to assume the Union as it was,
caving the elective franchise as it was. The
very desperation with which they are strug
gling ought to prove to you and the world that
they will never stop while they can get men to
bleed; they will never cease to fight as long as
there is a hope of success, because it i> the
only salvation to them. The war must be put
down by bayonet, by powder and ball, by brave
hearts and strong arms. (Cheers.)
I do not say this because I have suffered—
it is because thousands "of brave men are suf
fering now. It is true had 1 not suffered and
witnessed suffering 1 might not, and probably
would lint, have lieen so earnest in my feel
5n<r« \V»* «Pf» nil v sJlU, •mH 1
no exception. If secession is an accomplished
fact, and the government that has resulted
from it an established government among the
nations of the earth, do you believe that seces
sion would stop there? Are there not men
even in the Empire State, in your goodly city,
who would listen to treason? There may be
no suelt men in all New York, but, fellow eiti
xens, I would dislike exceedingly to think that
my hopes of the future depended upon tlie
fact of there being no such men. (Laughter.)
I say that 1 do not question the loyalty of the
great heart of New York. 1 mean that man
has not, even here in New York, attained to
human perfectability. There are men, doubt
less. hen? who would lie willing to he the great
particular magnate here in New York at the
expense of tlie government at Washington.
It is certain to my mind that if it once is es
tablished that it is a possible tiling to tear
asunder the states, there will be men tugging
at it day by day and year by year,a»d you w ill
not have tlie confidence you once hud that
these attacks should be resisted, ami you may
be led to ask whether, to escape anarchy at
last, you bail not better have a stronger gov
ernment. There is safety for us and fallen Im
munity throughout the world in the preserva
tion of the government of our lathers. (Loud
cheers.) We have cotifldence in the flag which
floats over the soil of New York to-day, but
when the one shall have been destroyed and
the other lie trailing in the dust, what confi
dence shall we have in equal success. I at
home felt that l was a degraded man because
I was a son of the south, and the people w itli
whom I had lived so long had forfeited their
birthright and tamed away from me, and I
was too big a coward to make myeelf a mar
tyr. 1 was compelled to leave my home under
circumstances painful at any time. The An
gel of Death had just passed over my house.
But why should I be allowed to remain and
weep with my wife over the tomb of a little
daughter—I. an old wretch who dared to tell
my neighbors that the solemn oath I had tak
en to support the constitution of the United
States was still binding? i had done too
much to Is- peuiitted to live peacefully at home.
I had robbed no man in the land; there were
those who at times I had fed, and they were
Jlrst to cry "Crucify him. hang him.” In Mex
ico there are now live hundred men who left
as I left. They are in the mountain fastnesses,
hunted like wolves. Are they to have help?
Give them a chance and they w ill bleed lor
i their country, die for it. redeem it; and there j
| are men enough there to-day to redeem it, if 1
they w ere organized and had arms in their
j hands. Let no man be permitted to live in
the government who will dare again to strut
bis little hour upon any stage and breathe
treason to his fellow men. (Cheers.)
Restore the government and tile constitu
tion, and its laws to all.fellow citizens? With
all my heart. Restore the Union as it existed
for the year just preceding the rebellion? God j
forbid. (Loud, prolonged and repeated ap- j
planse.) Am I to Is- remitted bark to the soil [
of Texas, to be hunted by assassins the little :
remnant of my life? (No, no.) Ami to go
there to teach my little sou that the chief hies- j
sing of his great future is to run from street to
street, and from man to man, and insist tlmt
he is as sound a man on the subject of slavery
as lives? Am 1 to see my neighbors and
friends hung by the neck, because they have
doubted that the chief business of the Great
Ruler ot the Universe is in directing and con
trolling and maturing and |>erpctuating the
institution of slavery? No, fellow-citizens; if
I cannot go there and strike hands with my
friends at home; if I cannot again la* united
with my family, except upon the terms that 1
am to live in such society as existed then*,
hard as it is to utter, I can Hud it in my heart
to say, let me never see them. But if you
Incan uy im- restoration 01 me i moil as n
was. a restoratwm of that Union such as our
fathers intended it to be, then, with all my
heart, let ns have it. (Great applause.)
The issue is simple; it is plain. The way
faring man may read it as lie runs, though lie
may la? a fool: Slavery ox the one hand,
AND LlllEKTY OX THE OTHER. (Loud ap
plause.) And yet, fellow-citizens, I'or these
brief, desultory words, honestly spoken, 1 am
yet to lie further tried. Friends, doubtless,
who have stood up for me heretofore, will say
I am not prepared for this yet. Hut I fear not
for them; they will arrive in due time where
1 stand, and I will add, even at the expense of
being considered arrogant, if you please, that
what I have said to-night, nil uninteresting us
it may be to you, w ill strike a cord deep in the
hearts of my people. I knowhow the people
feel, their modes of thought, to w hat conclu
sions their minds have already been brought.
It is “YOtTB NEOROES, OR MY CHILDREN.” d
love my children best; 1 do not intend to part
with the hopes that I have predicated upon
niy little son. lie has. or ought to have, lie
did have, until you took it aw ay from him, the
right to aspire to the highest honors in his
country's gift, lie shall have it. I will light
that my son may be free, even at the expense j
of freeing your negroes.
Let me, then, fellow citizens, indulge the
hope that if it shall lie my fortune again to
visit home and friends, I can say, and say it
truthfully, I am a free man—I urn not merely
a theoretical freeman—1 have the constitution
of tlie United States guaranteeing me my free
dom: but I have what is dearer still, I have
countrymen, 1 have society. I have brethren,
fellow citizens, ail over the States, without an
exception, who intend tliut I shall practice as
a freeman throughout my life. They intend
that 1 shall indulge the noblest right that can
be given to mail—the right of thought, and of
impressing my thoughts, humble though they
be, upon the minds of others. If I can go
home with that ku d oi freedom, I want it;
less than that I shall never be satisfied with.
(Cheering.) Hundreds of men have perished
: because they thought, because they had loved
freedom, and indulged occasionally in specu
lations a» to Itow freedom was best to lie pre
served; they have been hung like felons. I
want that to cease, I want the government of
the United States to treat every man in the
land as an enemy who will attempt to impose
further restrictions upon t lie right of a free
people to think and to talk. (Cheers.)
When 1 sue that, then I eati Pit my hands
and say, Blessed, indeed, is this government!
j Then I can accept that flag as the emblem of
freedom, really, unqualifiedly, having gained
new luster by the. very struggle in which its
citizens have engaged to-day. I will indulge
; the hope that victory upon the Held may not
j only perch upon the standards of our arms,
but that a moral halo w ill surround it from
cousciouanc's ol those who are lighting that
they are struggling to sustain lilierty. and to
crush the last remains of slavery. (Enthusi
astic cheering.) l.ct, then, our last thought
upon government and society be, I am yet a
citizen of a free government; i still occupy
the position of a recipient of the largest ra
tional human lilierty: I am yet on freedom's
soil, with freedom's banner floating o'er me.
(Applause.)
The Tree Conservatism.—Senator Doo
little of Wisconsin, who has been villainously
abused by some of his own party because lie
would not “go it blind" for every measure and
echo, and every outcry of the radicals, vindi
cates himself in a recent letter, in which lie
says:—
“I stand by the president and vy his procla
mation. 1 have stood by him when pretended
friends were denouncing him, simply because
they did not or would not know him and under
stand him. 1 have stood by him in the storm
w hen lie was tried as no man lias lieen tried
since Washington, and with ali my ability have
endeavored to strengthen his heart and liis
hands, and have been denounced lor sustaining
him. lint, gentlemen, let there be no misun
derstanding. Do you support the proclama
tion ol tile president? Do you sujqKirt it
without an ‘if’ or a ‘but,’ without any condi
tions? Are you loi him oi against him ? Let ;
your readers know precisely where you stand !
upon these questions.
“ You speak of my course last w inter ais
conservative. I will tell you in what sense it
was conservative. My amendment to the
emancipation bill in the District of Columbia
made the colonization of free colored men vol
untary emigration. It fixed'the poliey of the
a compulsory system. By the adoption of
that amendment the hill to emancipate in the
District was saved from a veto, in the opinion
of many well-advised persons. By my course
upon the confiscation hill, and of such men as
Clark, Fessenden and others, all the friends
of the administration and the President were
brought to act in harmony, and pass the bill
I in its present shape.
And the very e.nusein the President’s eman
cipation proclamation of which all now speak
so well, follows the section of the Senate hill,
drawn up by Judge Collimer, the ablest law
yer of the Senate, much as that bill was de
nounced by hundreds who had never read it,
much less considered its provisions. If to make
colonization (sought to be compulsory,) volun
tary migration: il to save the emancipation
bill in the district; if to bring the friends of
tlie administration and the president to act to
gether w ith almost entire unanimity upon the
conllscation bill; if to stand by the president
when oppressed under a load of labor and re
sponsibility which required almost superhu
man wisdom to bear, and to aid him and
strengthen and encourage him while hearing
that load, while the impatient and the timid
were running from him or denouncing him—
is to be a conservative, then was I and the no
ble men acting with me conservative in our
course.
“ But what is past is past. 1 will not reop
en a controversy which is now closed. ‘All the
friends of the administration stand together
now as a band of brothers, shoulder to shoul
der, around tlie president, and among these I
include not only republicans, but all truly loy
al men who give to him their hearty and earn
est support.”
Testing a Monster Gun.—The first 15
inch Monitor gun, llnished at the Fort Pitt
Works. Pittsburg, Pa., lias been proved at the
proving grounds. Wall's Station, on the Penn
sylvania railroad. The 11-inch and 9-inch na
vy guns arc taken out on the ordinary plat
form cars, and run out on the switch beneath
a stout “over-head railway,” by means of which
they are transferred, when swung up by screws
to tiic proper position for tiring the regnlas
proof of ten service charges.
In order to sustain the enormous weight of
the 15-inch guns, it has been necessary to re
build the entire frame in the most substantial
manner, and set up a triangle of massive pro
portions. This triangle is formed by the fram
ing together of two sets of massive timbers in
tiie shape of triangles, upon the apex of which
massive cross timbers rest on semi-circular
bearings.
From this cross-timber depend the heavy
rods by which the gun i* supported—two en
circling the trunnion, and the other pair,much
ligiiter, embracing the breech, and supporting
its preponderant weight. Notwithstanding
the enormous weight to be handled, and the
incompleteness of some of the arrangements,
the gun was mounted under the active super
vision of Mr. Joseph Kay, and ready for tiring
before 5 o’clock.
The first three loads to he tired w ere proof
charges, composed of fifty pounds of Rodman's
mammoth grained powder and shells of three
hundred and fifteen pounds. As the tiring
of such an enormous load is a very severe test,
the utmost anxiety was felt as the laiidyard
w as pulled and the gun discharged. The re
port which followed was by no means as heavy
as might have been expected.
The shell struck the ground a short distance
in front of the muzzle, glanced up slightly,
and passing through an immense pile of dirt in
tile “bullock pen” buried itself in the hill be
yond. The free manner in which the gun is
suspended permits of the greatest latitude of
motion, and the recoil was tremendous, in tile
second round breaking a defective breach rod,
and bringing the trial for the day to a sum
mary conclusion.
The damage will be repaired, and the firing,
after another proof charge, continued for some
time witli a service charge of thirty pounds of
powder and a shell weighing three hundred
and thirty pounds. The firing is conducted
under the supervision of Cupt. Berrien of the
navy, and Mr. Lee of the works. Tile charges
already tired are a sutilcieut test of the endu- I
ranee of the gun.
The model of tli"se guns differs considerably
from that of tlie regular it and 11-inch Dahl
grens, and still more from the model of the :
15-inch columbiads, or Rodtnan guns. As the
iron turrets in which they will lie mounted
fund'll but cramped fighting quarters—being
generally of twenty-two feet in diameter—the
guns are made very short in proportion to
their calibre, being some two feet shorter than
tiie Rodman 15-inch. They are not turned
from muzzle to breach, a- all other guns now
arc, hut from a line some seven or eight inches
behind tiie trunnions to tiie muzzle, leaving
the breayh a huge unfinished mass.
The arrangements of the breach for operat
ing tackle also differs from the regular navy
pattern, having no horizontal opening for re
ceiving tiie hawser, and in its place a simple
semicircular projection, some seven inches in
diameter and the same in thickness. The
trunnions are much shorter than those of the
regular navy guns, being adapted to an iron
carriage. The “water-circulating core” now
adopted in casting the columbiads has also i
been adopted to the 15-inch monitor guns, ail
other navy guns being east solid. Of these i
guns a half dozen at least will be required in
a few weeks to arm tin- Monitors in course of j
completion.
