SPEECH
OF
GEN. RICHARD Bl’STEED,
Of New Turk, in Faneuil Hall, Hoston, Oc
tober 30,1802.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen :
I inert and greet you an liberty-loving, law
abiding, Government-sustaining and treason
hating men. (Applause.) 1 do not appear a
nioug you as a politician of the schools. I am
not either pervert or convert. The mere po
litical opinions of any man are not now of the
slightest consequence. (Applause.) The na
tiou is in the midst of a terrible struggle for its
life, and how best and quickest to save it, is
the all-absorbing question of the hour.
Everything must be subordinate to this, be
cause everything else is less than this. War,
uiij'1'jii/ni.u, 13 ui III”
made upor. a people who love peace, and de
sire to pursue it. Such war. having its origin in
peculation, treason, and fraud, must he allow
ed butoueend—absolute, unconditional subju
gation of the traitors who have made it and
who are continuing it against us. Twenty
millions of freemen are audaciously challenged
by the foe to yield up their liberty, their prop
erty and their government This is the sole
issue. To this I shall address myself. Its grav
ity demands that it be considered plainly, de
liberately truthfully.
The issue is one of individual as well as na
tional concern. It affects the well being of all
as much as tbe well beiug of each. Its con
sideration cannot be avoided or postponed.—
We are band to hand in a conflict with a haugh
ty, wicked and unscrupulous enemy; an ene
my that dislikes us and our principles, tastes
and habits; an enemy that tauntingly boasts
of hitnself, of his superiority in all that goes to
make up a wise, intellectual and honorable
manhood; that plumes himself on his chivalry,
aristocracy and cottou, ami consigns us to the
inferior condition of Yankee mudsills and
greasy mechanics.
It is well to understand what the conflict is,
which is now beiug waged by us upon these
self-adulatory neighbors—slandering and lib
erty-stealing warriors. It is a war between
darkness and light—between slave-pens and
school-houses (cheers)—!ietween labor and ca
pital—Itetween democracy and aristocracy—
(cheers)—between the rights of man and the
illegally gotten and fraudulently held privileg
es of the few—between violence and law—be
tween slavery and liberty—between falsebood
and truth. Now, God defend the right!
This war is not prosecuted to determine who
shall administer the government, but to decide
if there shall be any government left to ad
minister ; not shall tbe empire he divided in
twain, but shall the nation exist; uot to settle
the question of what laws shall prevail iu the
territories, but whether there shall be any do
main, State or territorial.
It is not a war to ascertain who shall exer
cise the elective franchise, hut whether there
shall be any elections held. Its objects are to
establish the individuality of a constitutional
selection ol the ruler of the American people
—to overthrow and prevent adherence to all
forms of governmental law, ami establish a
nation upon the bases of perjury, treason and
ltaud.
The people of the States are not called upon
to choose between the different modes of col
lecting revenue or laying imports, or to decide
whether a protective or prohibiting tariff will
best serve the national interests, or a national
bank be a benefit or a bane.
The question which confronts this people to
day is exist-nce or death. The Union, with
all its attendant blessings and powers, its his
tory from experience, its achievements and
hopes, or disunion with a long train of neces
sary calamities that attend upon such a meas
ure. The question, sir, is not so much wheth
er slavery shall continue to exist iu South Ca
rolina, but whether freedom shall be the rule
in Massachusetts, ami the navigation of the
Mississippi shall be unobstructed. (Cheers.)
The question is whether you will have a
. Governor, Senator and Kepresentative ol your
own selection. These are the general charac
teristics of the slaveholders’ war, The details
are to be found iu current history, and need
UVIC UC ClibCIVU I I I La I Ul UtU'll upuil.
If I am right in my diagnosis, if these at
tempts to destroy this government of the peo
ple be the result of unhallowed ambition,fren
zied hate, or a wicked and designed cause of
the love ol power and pride of lile, it cannot
and it will not succeed. It will not succeed
because it ought not. Its want of holy pur
pose, high thought, pure motives, is the leaven
ot its weakness. And neither of its own pow
er, nor of any aid derived from peaceful or
armed intervention, can it succeed. The logic
of truth
“Gives mvstical lore.
And coming events cut their shadows before.'’
Men change, but principles are eternal.
Truth and falsehood are so well defined, and
the characteristics of each so plainly traced
as to be beyond the power of casuistry to con
found or obliterate. What was false when the
Athenians gathered in the Acropolis, is false
in Faueuil Hall to-day. Time wears no chang
es on the azure front of truth. The weakness
of man may surround it with the dust of false
observances, may bury it from sight beneath a
heavy mould of desire, but like the undisclosed
fires, burning deep in the earth, ever and anon
it bursts forth to sight for the guidance of all
who honestly seek to worship by its light.
Magna est tertian. “The eternal years of God
are hers,” exclaims a poet of our native land.
The happiness and prosperity of the race de
pend upon the fulfilment of the demands ot
truth. Its requirements cannot be avoided,
w'ilhout incurring individual, social and nation
al ruin. No private enterprise and no system
ot government can be permanently secured
that rests upon unexact immoral foundations.
the distinction between justice and its con
trary must be observed in forming the social
condition and in enacting laws for it; the prob
lems of Euclid may be disregarded, but those
of humanity must la? solved by the principles
of actual justice, or woe to the State and the
political mathematicians. The history of our
I own country lumisues an exniDitton ot now
' much may be the protest for justice, and how
little may be done to secure its empire. The
Declaration of American Independence set
out with the affirmation that “all men are cre
ated equal and endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, among which art
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
In Mr, Jefferson's dralt of the Declaration,
the w onis “inherent and” preceded the words
“inalienable rights,” hut the instrument as fl
j nally adopted lelt them out. It pronounced
: tbe^mdowed rights to be certainly of divine
; origin and incapable of alienation.' I am eon
; tent with this, because, if liberty be the gift of
| God, it is an Inherent right in man, and its in
alienability is a necessary corollary. (Cheers.)
In the short space of twelve years after this
grand charter had been given to the world,
and while yet ascriptions of praise and thanks
for it were rising from tlie hearts and lips of
universal manhood—while men were lolding
I the writing among the leaves of their Bibles—
the same people on whose behalf the Declara
tion was made, and live of the same persons
who to its support pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor, adopted and
subscribed the Constitution ol 1787, the fourth
section of which doomed to helpless, hopeless
servitude, 700,000 human beings, and their
wretched Increase to all time. Front that hour
forward the dragon teeth of slavery multiplied
themselves, and spread into all the land; and
as its last and legitimate fruit, comes this war
and bloodshed which now desolate our once
peaceful and prosperous land.
It could not be otherwise. Effects follow
their causes as certainly as night the day, or
the seasons their course. The law of compen
sation adjusts itself to every condition of man,
and each violation of truth is followed by a
corresponding rctributiou.
I know, sir, tlie people are impatient of crit
icism when tlie acts of our revolutionary fath
ers arc under consideration. Veneration is a
national instinct, and the least return Ameri
cans can make to their ancestry actuated by
pure motives, is to accord to their conduct an
unqualified honesty of purpose. Veneration,
however, sometimes assumes the form of su
perstitions reverence, and blights progress by
foreclosing Inquiry. Respect for the past is
very well in its place and degree, and while I
yield to no man living in affection and respect
for the founders of this Government, I cannot
resign to this feeling the exercise of mv reason,
the convictions of my intelligence,or tite ‘cach
ings of my conscience. (Prolonged applause.)
Duty is bolder than theory, more confident
than the understanding, older and more im
perative than speculative science, existing
from eternity and recognized in its binding
force Irom the morning of creation.
1 am entirely persuaded that in forming the
Constitution, if the Irieuds and advocates of
free institutions had restlessly met and formal
ly denied the claims of tlie pro-slavery lelders
of that day. South Carolina would riot only
have joined tlie Union, but would not have
enacted the niillitlcation ordinance ol 1832, or
assailed Fort Sumter in 1861.
A recognition of man's right to hold his fel
low man in servile bondage.to make merehan-,
di<e of human blood and bone,to violate every
principle of justice, to make the Declaration
of Independence a "tinkling symbol," and the
nation a scorn—is tlie source of the attnede
ure tvin ii it null u^tl i»» Uir MitU- III
igarchiet* of our day, and their conduct illus
trate* I lie theory that the laws of compensa
tion and retribution an- unceasingly in opera
tion. I ill not attack the intentions of men
who compromise the wrong, but, sir, I do im
peach the act itself. (Loud cheers.)
A great master of the English language
says, "I care not with what principles the pat
riot is convicted if the measures lie supports
are beneficial to the community. The nation
is interested in his conduct. Ilis motives are
his own.”
The civil strife in which our country is in
volved, and whi ;h has culminated in horrid
and fratracidal war, establishes the lact that
neither iudiuidual nor national prosperity can
permanently exist, if principle l>e deposed by
selfishness and conscience be trampled on and
defied by injustice.
It is for these reasons, and reasons akin to
these, that I lately declared and now repeat, I
am in favor of a new Constitution as soon as
we can constitutionally procure it—(applause)
—not a moment sooner,— not a second later.
I want a Constitution which shall be a palla
dium of liberty, not a network with which to
entangle freedom; which shall maintain the
rights of every human being to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness—(applause)—io
which an American the world over may refer
with pride; which will make tyranny tremble
in its sinew and marrow, and in which invol
untary servitude will not be recognized or
contemplated, except5 as a punishment for
crime. Any other Constitution is not worthy
the genius or sufficient to answer the In
stincts of a free, enlightened and Christian
people. (Applause.)
1 am sure that if the men who contrived the
fundamental law under w liich our Government
has exercised its attributes for seventy-five
years, could have anticipated what was to grow
out ol the concession they made to an unjust
and cruel system, the Constitution in its pres
ent shape would never have been ratified or
approved.
The fathers regarded the gradual abolition
of slavery a* a necessary element in the fu
ture cm the Republic; and in this faith, and in
} the belief that they thereby secured the bless
ings of liberty to themselves and posterity, or
dained an instrument which they otherwise
would have spurned and rejected.
I pnss from these views of a remote period
and transaction fn our history, to a considera
tion of the present circumstances of the na
tion. “The purple testament of bleeding war”
has been opened upon us. In the midst of an
unexampled career of prosperity all the in
dustrial and peaceful arts have been rudely
! checked by the red hand of blood. The busy
i click of machinery, the hum of the manufac
tory, the ruinbiingof the produce-laden wheel,
tlie figures of the counting-house, the business
of the merchant and professional man, have all
j vanished before the heavy tread of armed
| men. Civilians have la-come soldiers, farm
yards are converted into battle-field*, and
j churches turned into hospitals. Stalwart men
j are maimed and mangled; ghastly wounds
make of life one great suffering; and widow
hood and orphanage fill the land with a cease
less lamentation.
In such a condition ot the public affairs tnen
must attach themselves to one side or the oth
er. There is here no room for neutrality, and
only an idiot can be indifferent. The appeal
! is to each of us as individuals; to you and
me, and every man. How will you answer it?
en, and remains only unchanged as it is strong
er. I believe it to be my plain duty to support
the Government, and those who administer it,
by every means in my power, and at any cost
| of treasure or blood. What 1 do, 1 would in
Huenoe others to do; what I believe to be
truth I would have others accept fortruth. In
this crisis I would not embarrass the adminis
tration by drawing nice or labored distinc
tions between opposing theories, or by the
public or private discussion of questions
which relate to a time of tranquility and
peace. I would forget that I ever made a
partisan speech, or voted a party ticket. I
would know nothing among men but my coun
try, and her salvation. I would defer polities
to “a more convenient season,” and devote my
time, my means, and my life, if needs be. to
preserve for posterity the rich inheritance of a
free government, and its liberal institutions.
1 have satisfied myself as to what is my duty
in the premises. 1 believe slavery to lie the
cause of the war, and,therefore, 1 would abol
ish slavery forever. 1 believe slavery to have
I been the source of the heart-burnings and vio
lence which disgraced the national legislature,
while slavery was protected and existed at the
national capital, and therefore I hail the aboli
tion ol slavery in the District of Columbia as
ajus*. w ise, and patriotic act of legislation, de
manded as well by a proper respect for the
opinions of mankind, as by humanity, decency
and religion. I believe the President’s procla
mation of emancipation to be an effectual and
speedy method of conquering and defeating
the rebels in arms, and of destroying the main
spring of the war, and therefore I accept the
proclamation without an “if,” "and,” or “but,”
without dotting an “i,” or crossing a “t,” and
rejoice that Abraham Lincoln has had the
moral courage to look the ginntevil in the face,
and trusting in the right, deal the blow that
saves the nation. On the first day of January
next, the American republic will celebrate a
golden wedding with Liberty. Truth is on the
war-path to avenge herself, and her trusty
blade will not rest in sheath until every system
of falsehood and oppression bites the dust, and
every hostility is subjugated to her domina
tion.
Will any man of average intelligence and
sanity, deny that the existing state of things has
its origin in the institution of African slavery?
If there had been no slavery, there would have
been no agitation of the question, or discus
sion over its morality or lawfulness. If there
had been no heated discussion and reprobation
of it, the slaveholders in Congress would not,
they say, have abandoned their seats as repre
sentatives, or the slaveholders out of Congress
passed secession ordinances. In a word, if
there were no slavery, there would be no re
bellion. Abolfsh slavery, and you destroy re
bellion. Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia
himself asserts this:—“ Slavery,” says he, “lias
been the immediate cause of the late rupture,
and the present revolution. Jefferson saw that
the old Union would, some day, break u|>ou
this rock. He was right. The prevailing idea
admitted by him, and the majority of the
statesmen of his time, wa« that the -slavery of
the African race was a violation of the rights
of nature. But these ideas were fundamental
ly false. Our new government is based on
quite opposite ideas. The negro, in virtue of
his nature and by reason of the curse of Ca
naan, is made lor the position which he occu
pies in our system. The stone which the build
ers rejected is become the chief stone of the
corner of our new structure."
The utterance of these opinions, and my
course consequent upon entertaining them,
may or may not raise against me the cry of ab
olitionist, black Republican, negro-worshipper,
and the like. I am wholly indifferent to this.
The sentiments I now express may be aboli
tionism for all I know or care. They are
mine, at least, and the result of my earnest,
honest, intensest convictions. I hold them to
be democratic, too, in the best sense of that
word. I deny that democracy in America or
elsewhere, means slavery, in any former de
gree, or under any circumstances. He is not,
a genuine Democrat who prefers slavery be
fore liberty, or w ho, when the fair opportunity
presents itself, hesitates to strike for freedom.
Oppression is the same the world over; it diff
ers only in its victims. In England it fastens
upon an Irishman; in the United States upon
an African. The manwho to-day would rob
n negro of the result of his labor or skill would,
mutatls mutandis, cheat a Caucasian to-mor
row, and the exiled or self-expatriated Irish
man, who apologizes for. and deals tenderly
With, the enslavement of a race because it has
a black skin, is not far removed in sympathy,
spirit, or principle, from the aristocratic op
pressors of his own people. He lias no war
rant to speak for a land, every acre of which
is cursed with the imprint of tyranny's heel.
Daniel O'Connell nor taught nor believed in
such democracy. When he contended with
i lords and commoners for Catholic emnneiput
, ion, or any of the inalienable rights of man, if
hit opposers turned to written constitutions to
find authority for venerable Imposition, and
; proscriptive fraud, and hurled at him. “Thus
\ saith the Law,” this man of the ueonle. this
sturdy Democrat, this generous son of Erin,
i silenced their sophistry with, “I7m« taith the
Lord." To ail men born in Ireland, claiming
| to be Democrats, and striving in this crisis of
their adopted country’s fate to influence the
| conduct of their countrymen, I say, Go, no
| wise, thou, and do likewise.
