SPEECH
OF
GEN. RICHARD BISTEED,
Of New York, in Fanntil Ilall, Hasten, Oc
tober 30, 1802.
[concluded.]
There are some men, too, of American birth
who, professing attachment for the country
and her free establishments, aud allegiance and
loyalty to their government, are yet eternally
complaining, and impeaching all tlgit is done,
and all that is led undone. No class is so
tierce in its protestations of patriotism and love
of country as they. They would prosecute the
war with the utmost vigor, bill declaim against
the authority ol the President to send a single
soldier into the Held of battle. They would
vote money, if they were in Congress, to carry
on the war to a speedy and successful issue,
but assert that the expenditures of govern
ment are prodigal, unnecessary and dishonest.
They would strike rebels down with the most
efficient weapons of otfense, hut always have
one half of their armies filled with olive bran
ches. They would confiscate the pro|>erty of
rebels, but not allow a negro within the pro
tection of our camp lines. They would main
tain the authority of the Constitution, lint are
prompt with a tresh compromise to traitors,
whenever its authority is trampled upon aud
defied by them. They would put rebels in
arms to death, but will lead Stuart's cavalry the
way to their neighbor’s stables. They would not
give an inch of territory to Jeff. Davis, until
“ after Richmond is occupied by the Union
forces.” They would fight for “ the Union as
it was," but are ready to “let the erring sis
ters go in peace." This is their love of coun- j
try, this is their patriotism, this their democ
racy. In the great State of New York, their
candidate lor governor, in a studied speech,
made on receiving a nomination by a species
of previously-arranged political spontaneous I
combusliou, called a nomination by acclama
tion, denounces the last session of the national
legislature,and stigmatises its course asa career
of “ agitations, outrage aud wrong;" brands
Congressional virtue as “ glistening putres- j
ence,” aud “ thin lacquer;” begs for his “ pro
portional share of political power,” and en
joins upon his followers at this crisis to keep
alive the vigilance of “ party contestdraws
distinctions between “ our government and its
administration,” and suggests that" weakness"
or “ folly in the conduct of alfairs, go far to
justify resistance” to the government itsell,
and that “ raal-administratiou demands change
•f administration;” joins the scheme ol eman
cipation with his own assertion of “a general
arming of the slaves,” and calls the plan thus
begotten by himself, but attempted to be foist
ed upon the government, “ a proposal for the
butchery of women and children, lor scenes of
lust aud rapiue, of arson and murder.” All
this and more, ad nauseam, in the same speech
in which, in terms of self-glorification, he de
clares that he, and those who act with him,
“wish to see our Union saved, and our laws
tt All *1.: . Sl. .
■- ----r,v*■
slou that they "do not claim more virtue or
intelligence than” their opponents, who, ac
cording to his statement, are “ inexperienced
in the conduct of public affairs, drunk with
power,” and “ black with ingratitude.” All
this, poured iuto the ear* of the unreflecting
masses, whose educational acquirements are
not sufficient to protect them from the designs
of sophistical and scheming, or “ vulgar and
mechanical” politicians. AH this to secure
votes for Horatio Seymour and that wretched
outcast, his companion and rival, Fernando
Wood. All this already repriuted in Charles
ton and Savannah, with approving commeuls
of the men and their sentiments, and to be
greedily caught up by the English press, and
published as evideuce that the great North is
divided among itself, nud has no confidence
in its own government. All this for the parly
against their country I All this for themselves j
against the truth! “ O shame, where is thy i
blush!” Cicero, iu his day, speaking of such, j
asks, “If you are a citizen, in what sense was i
Spartieus an enemy ?”
This is the same class which has made a con
stant outcry and whine, because of what are I
termed arbitrary arrests by the government. I
How many of these military arrests have been
made since the rebellion broke out? Not ■
three huudred, all told, in a population of j
twenty millions. Who have been arrested?
Has any man of known and approved loyalty,
of good reputation lor patriotism among his j
neighbors, and well disposed to his govern
ment ? Not one. There is a homely adage
which says that where there is smoke there
must he tire. Suspicion does not ordinarily
attach itself to inuorence. The general judg
ment ot a community is not apt to he mistak
en, and if a man be reputed to sympathize with
the enemies of his government, and his con
duct or speech justifies this opinion, it surely .
is not a harsh exercise of power at a time j
when the State is in imminent peril from trea
son, to put such a man out of harm’s way un- I
til Ills vicious propensity has exhausted itself
or been cured, if a real patriot be unjustly
accused and imprisoned, lie will readily for
give his country the error of honest zeai, and
the home traitors who sutler in this way can
sue for false imprisonment, and the country
will pay any verdict they recover. If our gov
ernment makes no greater encroachment upon
tile rights of the citizen than these military
attests, the liberties of the people will not be
seriously imperiled by Mr. Lincoln’s admiuis
t ration.
This same class of fault-finding “submission
ists are also greatly exercised because of the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. The
President has been assailed with every species
ot invective on this account. He has been re
minded that Charles the First was brought to
tlie block for a lesser act of despotism, and
that even N?i|>oleon dare not \te the tyrant
he is. The act is denounced as a violation of
liis oath of office, and an unwarranted assump
tion ot power. English history is ransacked
U> prove this, and the bones of the old barons
aie exhumed and suhpoened to attend as wit
nesses, and bring “Magna Charta” with them.
Analogies are found between thiugs wholly
i aiiu UUCWJ uincuKiam, Him I lie 5110
! missionists are frightened to death lest the
Constitution shall be preserved and the coun
I try saved in an unconstitutional way. Therc
| speet they have for law is only equalled by
their love of liberty. Morning,noon and night
they cry and din into the ears of the patriot
j President. “The Constitution, the Constitu
j tion!” and every pulsation of his heart throb
| bingly answers, “The country, the country!”
God bless Abraham Lincoln!
! Let us very briefly consider this question of
the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.
That it may lie suspended in cases of rebellion
or invasion, where the public safety requires
i it,is provided by the Constitution Itself. Which
j of departments of the Government is
charged with, the power of suspending the
writ is the question of embarrassment and
doubt. Conflicting opinions as to it are enter
tained by men of equal learning and intelli
gence, and there is no determination of the
Supreme Court to which resort can be had.
It is the question of the construction of the
statute, always a difficult and vexatious inqui
ry- It is to know what the framers of the
Constitution meant, by what they have some
what Insufficiently expressed. The President,
a lawyer himself, and a man w'hose conscien
tiousness even his opposers concede, is ofopin
ion that the Executive may, in the cases pre
scribed, suspend the privilege of the writ
There can be little room for doubtthat his con
stitutional advisers agree to this view. Mr.
Seward and Mr. Stanton enjoy and deserve
the highest reputation in the'legal profession.
The Attorney General of the United States,
too, has given an official opinion in favor of
the riglil of the President to exercise the pow
er. Now, who shall decide, when casuists and
doctors disagree? If Mr. Lincoln is wrong,
he has at least erred in good company, and
even if it should turn out that the better un
derstanding of the constitutional provision is
not the one entertained by the Government,
the President may throw into the faces of
howling sympathizers with treason, that old
Latin motto, derived from the twelve Roman
tables: “Stilus populi, mprema est lex.’’ He
can «av to them, "To do u great good, I have
done a little wrong. To sate a nation I im
prisoned a man. To preserve liberty forever
to twenty millions, 1 restrained live hundred
of their freedom for a day;” and, confiding in
his own integrity, and the generous support of
his loyal country men, need have no anxiety
for tlie present or the future, growing out of
the imprisonment of a few miserable imitators
of the vices of Benedict Arnold, bereft of the
benefit of “capias” or “nilrr,” and detained,
in defiance of the “habeas corpus ad respon
dendum.”
The chief cause of complaint qpde against
the President is Ins emancipation proclama
tion. It is almost ludicrous to witness the con
tortions and consternation which this act hits
produced among traitors and their allies ev
erywhere. In one and the same breath, it is
proclaimed a harmless thunderbolt, and an
unchristian and savage means of overcoming
an enemy. Now itis'Toj et precterea nihil,
and now it is a sword, and a lire, and a propo
sal for the horrors of a St. Domingo insurrec
tion. To-day the Richmond and Charleston
paper* regard it “a tritie light as air;” to-mor
row tlie same journals vent columns of hate
and fury and abuse upon its author, and ad
jure him, in tiie language of Othello;
"Never pray more; abandon all lomorec.
On horror’s head honors accumu’ate;
Do deeds to make heaven weep, ail earth amazed;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Creator than that."
Where is Mr. Lincoln’s constitutional au
thority to issue a proclamation? ask the ad
vocates of dishonorable peace. Where, 1 ask,
in answer, is the constitutional authority for
this slaveholders’ war upon the country t The
Constitution did not and could not provide
for every possible condition in the future of
the Republic, It did not anticipate that the
thing it gave protection to would make war
upon the life ol its protector. In framing a
written code for government, much must nec
essarily be left to rational implication, and
much more to un absorbing subsequent neces
sity if it arises. It sometimes happens, that
to extinguish a conflagration you must tight
lire with lire; the ordinary agencies are insuf
ficient for the emergency, and to save the
building or town from being a smouldering
ruin, you must do something else than put on
water. The owner of the orchard first tried
moral suasion on the thief, who laughed while
he stole from the richly laden boughs; next
tufts of soft green were aimed at and hit, but
did not hurt the poacher, who continued to
steal. Finding expostulation and gentle meas
ures alike unavailing to protect his property,
the farmer tried the virtue of hard blows, and
very soop the ensconced robber was glad to
disgorge his plunder, and cry, “Don’t, dou’t,
I’ll cmne’dnwu.”
The President has been a« wise as the men
who devised the new way to put the fire out,
ami as good nattired as the farmer. In his
speech at Philadelphia, on his way to Washing
ton, he said that igi his view ol the then uspect
of affairs “there need he no bloodshed or war.
There is no necessity for it. I am not in fav
or of siicli a course—and, I may say in ad
vance, that there will be no bloodshed unless
it be forced upon the Government.” In his
Inaugural address he declares:
“The protection which, consistently with
the Constitution and the laws, can lie given,
will be cheerfully given to all the States, when
lawfully demanded, for whatever cause,—as
cheerfully to one section as another. I hold
tliut ill fWinluinirlutSmi /sf . . ... -.. I I 1
ol' the Constitution, the union of these States
is perpetual. I shall take care that the laws
of the Union be faithfully executed in all the
Stales; in doing this there need be no blood
shed or violence; and there shall he none un
less it be forced upon the national authority.
Yon (the South) can have no conflict, without
being yourself the aggressor.”
This was his moral suasion. It failed of
its appropriate etiect. Congress passed the
confiscation Act and the hill abolishing slavery
in the District of Columbia, and, bv the Presi
dent’s approval, these measures became laws.
These were his tufts of yrass, but they were
despised by the plundering vagabond's, who
kept on stealing and cheating. Next came the
emancipation proclamation. This isjiis coup
de-main, and unless the reliels are within the
definition of those whom the gods destroy,
before the first of January they w ill lie singing
out right lustily. “Don’t throw that stone,
I ncle Abe; we will yield to you; we prefer to
-live under the old Coustitution, even with the
prospect of its being amended, than be exposed
to the war-power of a great people, exercised
in defense of their unity, nationality* and
laws.”
I want no better evidence of the value of the
emancipation proclamation than is furnished
by the unmistakeable panic that seized all re
l>ellioii when it was known to he issued. The
Congress of the so-called “Confederate States,"
proposed as a retaliatory measure the indis
criminate murder of all’ of our soldiers who,
b.V the chances of the field, should thereafter
fall into the rebel hands. War was to mean
ruthless and barbaric homicide. The black
flag was to lie raised, and "no quarter” to be
1 the rallying cry of their armies.
One of tlie'border States men aliout whom
the submissionists exhibit so much concern,
the late Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, in an address
nominally to the people of East Tennessee,
lint really to the doughfaces of these latitudes,
ci ies out against “the atrocity of Mr. Lincoln's
proclamation,” and “his many violations of the
Constitution, and his crowning act of usurp
ation. ’ “May we not hope,” exclaims this
Southern ‘Pumblechook,’ that a spirit of re
sistance will be aroused in that section (the
North), which, combined with the efforts of
the South, wilt hurt Mr. Lincoln from pow
er f" May you? No, sir; such hope will not
lie realized; it is of the kind that makes the
heart sick.
The language of this letter is a fair sample
of how tlie proclamation affects the traitors,
and that may safely tie assumed discreet and
w he lor us which embarrasses and endangers
our enemy. Depend upon it, the emancipa
tion arrow has pierced the hcai't of treason.
The rebel states have now their’ future in
their own keeping. If the effect of the proc
lamation will be as they claim, to incite servile
insurrection, they have it in their own hands
to prevent the horrible catastrophe. More
than three months have to elapse from the
date of its issue to the time of its. going into
effect. They are not taken unawares by the
government. The same proclamation which
announces its intentions in respeet of the
slaves of the rebels, declares that the war is to
lie prosecuted only for the supremacy of the
Government, and the solidarity of the Repub
lic. Let the rebels lay down their arms: let
them return to their allegiance; let them dis
perse and go to their homes; let them cease to
be usurpers and murderers, and there will be
no confiscation of their property, no emanci
pation ot their slaves, no servile insurrection.
Their peculiar institution, although held ac
cursed by us. will continue to receive constitu
tional and political sanction; their cotton will
And an eager market, with quick sales and in
creased profits; and the whole military force
of the United States, if need be, stand guard
at their hearth-stones, to protect their women
and children from violence ami harm. But let
them keep their blood-stained hands upon the
throat of the nation; let them continue pirates
on the sea and highwaymen on the land; let
them spread carnage and death among a peo
ple whose magnanimity they have called cow
ardice, and whose generosity they have an
swered with treachery and deceit; let them,
in a word, continue this war upon us, till the
advent of the coming year, and their blood,
and tlie blood of their wives and children be
upon their own heads. Impartial history will
not inculpate us, if their stubborn wickedness
ends in a drama of horror which humanity
shudders to contemplate. Oh. misguided meu.
be entreated while yet there is space between
you and doom. Stretch not out any farther
your hand against God, and “run not upon the
thick bosses of his bucklers.”
There is a natural way of ending this war,
better than that proposed by peace-democrats
or submissiouists; better titan to disrupt the
nation; better than the projector two rival re
publics within geographical limits admitting
of but one; better for us, better for mankind.
The plan is simple, honest and manly:" Let
them end the war teho begun it. From the
Arst boom of treason’s cannon until the last
act of reliel horse-stealing in Pennsylvania*
this has been a war of aggression upon the
North. It is the North that has been dragoon
ed and insulted and defied; it is the North
that has been refused the freedom of speech
and the right of petition ; it is the North that
was denied the right of a joint tenant in the
common property; it is Northern men who have
been tarred and feathered and ridden on rails;
it is Northern women who have been stripped
and stri|ied; it is a Northern Senator who was
murderously attacked in the Nation’s Coun
cil ('handier, by a band of brutal and cowardly
ruffians: it is the North that suffered long and
was kind : it is the North that was not easily
provoked; that bore all things, that endured
all things; it is the North that was struck; it
is the North that was wary of an entrance to
the quarrel; it is the North that “being in. will
liear it, that the opposed may la-ware of her.”
The North was lari in the fight; the North
will be last out of it. We did not seek it, but
we will not shun it.
This is not only the natural way of ending
me siave-uomers war, om n is uie only way.
Let it be at once and clearly understood that
we of the North can never recede, can oiler
no compromise, be a party to no treaty. Our
self-respect, our honor, our pride, the safety
of ourselves and our posterity, free institutions
throughout the globe, liberty and the rights of
man, make it impossible. Primary instincts,
educated reasonings, and eternal principles,
forbid. We may be involved in a ten years,or
a twenty years' war, before our Constitution
defeats and slays its cuemi.es; we may be driv
en or fall into a broil with England, France or
the world; are may fr- defeated on the Poto
mac and the Mississippi, by Lee and by Beau
regard; the rebels may be recognized; our
currency may depreciate, our commerce cease,
our lands be uncultivated; our sous and oar
selves till unknown graves; all these ills, and
all imaginable distresses and calamities may
come upon us as consequences of tiie war
made against us. We must accept all rath' r
than recede. We fight for Civilization, Chris
tianity and Freedom, against Barbarism, Infi
delity and Slavery; we light lor ourselves and
tiie r ice, and can not, must not, will not com
promise the heritage of freedom, and the in
terests of mankind. Eaeli succeeding genera
tion will begin tiie strife where we leave it off. j
ami each age consecrate itself to tiie cause of ;
upholding American Liberty.
(it tiie shock of opposing forces, victory j
eventually goes where it properly belongs, and
unless eight millions can conquer twenty mil
lions, unless sueli a minority, with no excess
of mental, moral, or material advantages,
can vanquish sucii a majority, possessed of
wealth, intellect, and education, and physical
power, tiie issue inay be mathematically as
certained. Add to this, that
‘Thrice is lie armed, who hath his quarrel just,
Amt he but naked, though looked up in steel.
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.*’
ami although tiie end may not be reached by
our childrens’ children,the problem is already
sulced.
Mr. President, and men of Massachusetts:
When tltis rebellion shall lie crushed out, the
historian will find in the achievements of your
glorious State ample material for commenda
tion and praise. True to your revolutionary
character, you have nobly maintained the lib
erties to secure which your ancestors sacri
ficed their lives, and made every inch of New
England soil a heir-loom of freedom. In
your State tiie first blow for imWi's enfranchise
ment was struck, and the first blood of tiie
Revolution was spilt:
"Here once tlie embattled farmers stood,
And flrod the shot beard round the world."
In tills last war for constitutional liberty
and democratic government, your sons were
the first martyrs. The names of Whitney and
Ladd will be embalmed in the same urn with
those of Jonas Parker and Jonathan Harring
ton; and the "MassachusettsSixth” divide the
honors with the “minute men” of Acton and
Bedford.
I tender to you my most respectful acknowl
edgments for your generous reception; and
here, in this cradle of American liberty, with
in these walls which have echoed the eloquence
of Webster and Choate, and Sumner and Wil
son, and Andrew, and Banks, and Everett,
surrounded by the represented lineaments of
tlie great dead, and animated by their life and
example, I renew my vows to Freedom, and
solemnly swear to defend and support the
United States against all her enemies.
