SPEECH OV THE
HON. JOHN J. CHITTENDEN,
If. fore the lr« I.Ulurr oi k cutu< J. v, ou lur».
day, gtitk ol M.rt n, ISM.
Mr. Sfoai r ami (JtntlemeM of Ihe Senate ami I liaise of
Jiepmentatieet:
Aftfr a few introductory remarks, Mr. Cr«*teaden said:
What is our condition uov, anu how has it b<en
brought about ? 1 need not state vt rv particularly the
causes which have produced these effect?, nor ueed I re
cur to the present condition ot our nation wtlh a view- of
telling you what it is. It is a sad story—so -d that it is
impressed upon every heart—known to every citixeu.—
I >hali not detain you idly by auy particular details of
causes It is enough to say that it has til! grown—our
national calamity—our national misfortune—has all
grown out o* a controversy between the sltveholding
a-id non-slaveholding States, furnishing questions oi
slavery and qu.ations ol auti-sliverv—questions about
'he Territone* ol the United Stales. These agitations
have long exasperated ou the one ride and on the other
a va-t portion of the United - late?. They have resulted
iu ihe lern aiion of sectional parties— a seciioi id party
iu the North aud a sectional party tn the South Thesee
t onal narty of the North has finally tucceeded iu cl ot
uig a President for the United States, and installing their
p.r r iuall branches of the Government. This has ex
e-1•. l i- er ased «i-prcheiisions in parts of the South as to
tt.e safety o; thei peculiar institutions. They dread that
ill ■ Norl'ieru power w II employ itself iu div. roving one
oi litt-se ins itu. oi s and depriving theur ot their pro
perty
I nder this apprehatision wli-it have they douc ? T ey
have sought a mes- violent remedy against this appre
hended evil by s.e.-uiiig, as tin y term it, from the l atoo
of these Slates, and terming tor themselves a separate,
di'liuct, and independent government cut of tiio seven
S ates that have seceded—Sou h Carolina, Florida, A'a
batna, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. These States
have, iu *o t.ir as they possessed the power, broken our
U.doo, aud established or attempted to establ sil for
th. ins. lves an independent Government, and pit. that
Government into pTiUoi. Tin is the present attitude
in which 0111 country stands. V» htle these revolu iouary
iiiiiv. met - were hi progress, atu nip s were mad • n: the
Congress of tie United States, t\-n in sts-dou, ‘o.- the
idopiiou of such in.a-ares as might check tbeui. U was
hoped that if lin-s.- measures e-iuld not recall to the
l*non the St t»e> tn a ha i already seceded they might se- ,
cure ih -cl'-rui ce and adherent e to the Union ot tin*
remaining St ties. Among many other gentlem.-n who
proposed measures tor a.'j s-m -nt and reconciliation, 1
submitted a scries of resolutions, believing that their
id op ion i- i. lit pacify our country, put a stop to rerolu
ion, ami jr.—>-ivea; i restore cur Union. 1 teed not
: ■ your tiuM . ad •: tl om r mIo*
ions. They are kuoui to you :.ll aud had ihe honor ul
g < xprcssly appn wed by you. T isobj cl was a.. . -
.y to sut.-iy the ciaiui ol the South to remove with t. • ir
daves to the Territories of the U- i'eti ota:
Ou the o.h r i .aid, this light was dn.i.d upon the
grot::.-! 'hat the Ttnitoihs btluug J to tile U lied
that no indi vidual State cor any o* the S'-atcs
s. i. atelv 1- id a:i inten -1 in the Terrttoti uut t .at
:h v belonged to uul were umier the .-involute control
Ainl govt:uuietit ol the General Governm-ut. Si", let
tut be adniitWi. Admit rii it the Territory is under tue
ivt-.- me control of th -General Gove-ument; but, sir,
,lov. it rot follow tha: that General Government ought so
to admiui*!"r this great property, so to exercise its great
function ,’.h t eve. v class ot States and every State <.ha!l
equally participate in and equally enjoy that which be
long* to nil y No m it:, r wbc’hcr you con.-idcr it a prop
erty held in trust f> r the individual SUU-3 or a prop
erty he:d absolutely by the Genera! Government, to b ■
coutrolled or disposed of by the General Government, it
equally follows that that General Government, to be jo i
,..0 c. .ct upon the principles ot the Conhti'ution, ought ,
to so administer the property that each a .id every State
—eve. v poitiou of me luion—may have au iq-ui tai
tieipution in and an equal enjoyment of that wti eh b"
oi c > <| i Uy to :11—the U-ru'.oi v ot the United S ate*.
it seems to uie, tliorelore, that there is trjmtice in ex
,'|uJi g *:o thu*. equal and full e:*j ayraetit of anyd .-s
of Sute* Irvcaus.- ul any institution that may cx-t In
tbnu '1 • t'oristitu ion giv.-s to the other tstat.-s *io
rigiit to uio' i po'iae 'l ot territory, and to assume the
outlie owcii.-irp aid enjoyment of it. Tito Gourtita

is nUvebolduig States. It accept, d them at ths tim* o!

slave't- .dun; Stairs .is rtauuu g in equal ll»*i>r With t .<*
lliM sti.ii.ion, and entith d to i qital rights and equal j\s
tie - Ir 'in that Constitution. Sorei'ar.tk r it, it see mi to
me that it aouldbe u*ju*! lot the Tree S.abs to a- unr .
eii.l usurp lo themselves the entire couUol of these Ter
ri.orie*, and so control tt- in as ill i If.-cl to - \ -hid-- ir.’in
ih- m poi tioud of the ci’. i *us ot a certain cl is. ot States.
I thought, thire'ore, sir, ilia' the Nor.h was in U*e wrong
Uul that li e South wxs in the right in respect to th -
ju -lieu 11 prop, r-y and rights in '.he Teiritoriei ol the
U' iteil Sta.es; ar.d oa<- of the e jects of the ot* amr>
which 1 proposed, and their c iet object, was to pre
ouie, by an aini-ndtuewl to the Constitution, an acknowl
.figment of this i q i .1 right ot: the pail ol the South.—
U| in Cumtiuilioi.iJ principles tin* rght would i vend
to all the Territorie s ol the l old Sat. s. and the Sou 1 -
.-rii Stairs, in common with t e Tree Suites would have
,n undivided and • q ul right in all thoTi rii or • s c f tin*

Ml: id , :t appea.e-! mare convenient that there should

f'.is revolution has ui.iierukeu to form itself iuto a Gov
erumcn: di-t.nct a 1 indspendi nt. The rsjvoiutg States
have broken the Uniou waicb uuited us heretofore, and
■ h -v are (• .tting this Government into operation ; aud
we jtaad iter? to-day astonished at the great eveu.s that
are occurring arcuuJ u*—astouished at the revolution
•ha? is glaring us iu lbs fate—and inquiring what is to
b> done!
There was ouo solitary eirm usance attending these
rtaolutio. s, however, that - »>!• wot thy of notice. Al
though the di-cusHtou of them did not sufficiently rc*om
mer-d them to the Congress of the Uuited States.it »u uek
upon the hearts of ti e people throughout the United
-Latest, a.ui afforded litvui au opportunity for displaying
their fraternal feelings towards us and all" the South, and
the generous temper and dtwpoai ion which prompted
th< m to s ek reconciliation and adjust m -nt—un unticalie
settlement of a'l our differences upon any terms that »e
might believe to be lair and equitable—just upon the
t-rut9 i fi red bv tbe resolutions which 1 suk>u.ittcd, or
tipoa any other terms equivalent to them. Taut wcu d
have been reconciliation enough to have sived the
Uuion, whatever else might have been iost. As a tcsti.
mony of tbe manner in which this acjuatnieut wa> hoped
for, huu.ir..d> and th-MU Is of persons in t! e Northern
States sigmd pcbtions praying for the passage of the
nnt-ure. Forty thousand voters from the single S'ate
of Missa*husetta, thousands fn tu Pennsylvania, thou
sands from al' the SiorthaesteMi Slates, breathing a spirit
ol love and kindness to their f How-cit!S'r»*ud dev©.ion
to the Tnion, which wan wiling to sacrifice anything auu
everything for its preservation. This wus to me and it
will be to you and to evety Uniou-loving man tbe mo.-t
impressive and acceptable evidence of the ten per and
disposition of our ftllow-citixens elsewhere. It showed
me that the r.rguuieut which has been so often used to
da-unite us—that the North hates the South and that the
South hales lb.- North—i* not true. Tbe Almighty has
uot made Us with heaits of such ma! gaily as to hate
whole classes of our coutitmneu for the sins of a few
men. The North do s t.ot Kate the S-mih. The South
does not hate the North. In th* matter, gauileun e, 1
?p> ak so far as my owu obs. rvation and uty own expe
rience enable uie to testify. We have our momenta cf
irritation at times. We have great provocations, aud
otleu the— provocations have excited aukittd feelings—
•proacbes without number, ou the one side and on the
>ther. Crimination and recrimination have existed be
tween us. But ihtse only serve to form a part of that
jrcat volume of abuse which political a’rife and the
uruggle for party predominancy must necessarily pro
luce. They pass by however. The stream is no
onger made turbid by this cause, aud in purity it runs
throughout the land; encircling us in the arms of a com
mon fellowship—a common country. So may (Jod for
ever preserve us.
We have u<>t been mado to hate one another. W cdo
tiot bate one another. The politicians who ull us that
we bate each other are either honestly mistaken or they
ire seeking ephemeral popularity by professing to be our
friends, aud showing us by the hatred w hich they { ro
less for Other sections that their protecting love for us is
over all. But the people will not always he led by poli
ticians. They have risen upon this occasion, aud I be
lieve in my heart that there is at this moment a majority
»f Northern men that would cheerfully vote lor any o!
the resolutions of compromise that were p-opesid by
men of tin South in the last Congress. I have assurances
pf that character given to tue by some ot the most re
ipectable m -n, some of the most influential men ol Peiin
ivlvanii. I have assurances given me by huudreds ol
letters from the most intelligent men of that State, to get
my resolutions submitted to the people. They eatne to
me from every Northern State, I btui-ve wi'hout a soli*
Ltr? exception, to get mv resolutions submitted to the
people. “We want,’’ said they, “topreserve the Union.
We d ft', r from our representatives it> Congress in this

but what shall old Kentucky do? Our affections arc
all clustered upon ltor. Her peace, her honor, her
glory, her it.tens: are ours. Her characteria ours, and
a prrjd heritage it is. I love her with ail my heart. I
am one of the oldest of her children. I have been one

shall she do in this great crisis—this triel of our nation’s
ttiih* Shall we follow (he Sccess’gnists — shall we i titi
in tlaxpetiimuul Goveiiirncnt if the South, or shall
we rda. re to the tried Gofer: meet of the Union under

—do vou know of any wrong that the Gov rnmeut hi:

U ion of which you arc a pirt? Jycnfuvky herself cams
lu'.O existence under the Uocs’itutioti—and under th«
Union that she still clings to. Under its protection sh«
his grown from a handful of pioneers and a few hunters
to the uobie State that she now is—in every passage ol
h.-r h-storv ma DUir.ing hercharacter for honor and fi lei
J-y—for devotion to truth, devotion tocouu'.ry—scekiii"
at whatever distance, at whatever s-icrijjsc, every battle
field upon whieit the honor and the interest of hercou'.trj
were to be combatted for. Th's is old Kentucky- Fear
iug uone—feeling herself in intluence and (tower irresist
ible in the rigiit c tuso, irresistible in defence of her-dl
she has gone ou and pros pend. Where ia the man o:
Kentucky that fears that anybody wiil come here to takt
away our rights from us. Our self-powsdon and char
aotcr are founded upon this conscious ability to defeat
ourselves—that there is none so bold as to attack us, wt
being iu the right, they Iu the wrong.
Now what, 1 ask again, is Kentucky to do® Th:s is i
question upon which many of us, f« ilow-citiaeus, dill tr it
opinion 1 came not here to-dty to reproach aD.v ont
for his opinion. 1 came to argue the roitter with my fel
lowutizens and to pres- nt my views of the su- ject as om
of the people of Kentucky. We should counsel togeth
er on si ch occat iota. No man i hould to entirely j ivr n
up to hit opinion in tuch maitcis. lie should listen with
respect to the arguments of all It is the good of tbe
country tbit is at si. ks, and the opinions ol all should
be heard aud determin Ld upon caltn'y and d spas-ionatc
ly. If we ditfur, it is oily abtut the means cf advanc
ing the interests ol tint country.
What will we gain by going off with this s cost!', n
movement—this exp rirnental goiernmcnt? Is it not a
l.azirdou* experiment? Cun seven StaUs well bear all
the expense that must arrisc out of the maintenance of
armies, navies, the expenses ol a state of government
like our own with like expenses? They must have a
President. They will probably not give him a lets sal
ary than we give our President, i hey must have a Oor
gri-s. Taey will not give their Congressmen less thi n
we give ours. They must have nil the retinue, all the
did -ieut departments of government, and they will not
place them, 1 think, al a less cost than we can. The army
ami the i avy, the expense of which our legislators fie
(jointly com phi u of, without beingable to diminish,'.ha t
they must have also. How can these seven S'ales defray
tbe expenses? Is it our interest to join this experimen
tal Government—to give up the grand heritage which we
ei jay under the established Constitution made by the
men most venerated by us, under which we have lived
—a Government which has been thought throughout the
world to bo a masterpiece of human wisdom—shall wo
who have grown en i flourished under it and regarded i
as the most firmly established Government iu the world
if its j rinciples are properly respected—shall we quit
thst and go mu* the recession ranks; lull into the foot
sie]* of the revolutionary Government? It would Lot
be wi-e. I cun see uotbing that wc are to gain by it.
Wf.it w il you gii:iv What is such a change to gain
for any citizen? VVliat evil is Kentucky to disburthen
herseli'of? What is the dai g.*r that now threatens hci?
Does she esesp • it by this revolution? Are these 8lates
any stronger by going out of the Union. 1 see nothing
that i< to be glined. ! see no remedy in dissolution of
the Union. The Union, on the contrary, scums to ine
to be tbe shield and urui of our defence. Kentucky re
tains it; the Union all tier physical powers that she could
possibly have iu the new Confederacy—all her means of
physical reeistas.ee are just equal iu the Union to whet
they would be out of the I n or. In addition to this
she possess! a claims by law and by the Constitution
which all the world sees, knows, can read and unde •
stand. With these immunities and tights, with the law.
and the Constitution, does ehe not have nddi'ional pow
ei? To the physical power she is able to carry the im
munities and laws which lorm the chatter. She can ap
peal to our courts, to the Union, to tho fell.iw-ciiizu.is
of the Government aud the Union. She is stronger iu
this attitude, is she not?
It is nothing but passion, it teems tome, that can hive
misled her so far. I will not go into the means by
which the people are sometimes misled by leaders; J will
not go into the causes that sometimes delude these lead
ers themselves, but that we have gained uothing, that
we can gam nothing by going into it and abating with it,
seems to inu to be evident.
Oar true policy is to stand by that Union whose bless
iags wc have so long experienced—so long ei joyed—to
stand fast by until some great political necessity shall
drive us from it. In the Union wc kuow that we have
found safety—there our lather, found safety—at.d tin sc
fathers constructed it for our safety. All experience has
taught us that wc have the beat Government iu the world.
Abused and mnladoiinistcrfd as it frequently is, is it not
at las' the best Government in the worlj ? Is there any
belter ; w aerc cue uoes nueriy appear as .hu uoi-:'
here? Site appears somewhere in t e little Repnblics
ol the old world, hut so iusiguficxnt ia their numbers as
no', to be noticed, and of course to be spared by the
great despots and the gieat Emperors of Christendom —
There she may said to exist in her m-tic simplicity— ft
'alters and rag*. Here the c*i»ts in aii her splendor,
with a diadem ou her head. Here is a great Republic
that lias avowed allegiance to her. She as a que» a beck
on to all the wo'U, and sign lxes ap.ople that know
how to govern there.: -Ives—a p<.oplo that have entitled
them.elves to this liberty.
This has been the full of this Constitution and this
Union, by which I advice you to stand firm. Stand true
to it, I say, util 1 some great political nect - ity drives ycu
from that t ost. What are we now to do? A portion ol
oar countrymen are speculating on distant consequent s
Thev are r* olving that wo will quit our place ol sifcty
and go into an experiment—join 'he new rcvolutionaiy
(ioicinincnt—and they say th *. Virginia ar.d other States
will follow. Then they say thee rill he no war, and
then wo will be in a better condition to reconstruct.—
This is all a fallacy, from beginning to cud. Can we
trtt-t our speculation upon can-- s that are so dependent
one upon another—upon contingencies that lie in the
future? (Jan wo cornu to distant conclusions ol that
s .rt ? Ko. The jilc v» iv i.t to do that duty which is

wisdom that ought to govern you and to govern a com
tnunily- that w.v.io... which is of a delibeia'w ri Heeling
mind. \ ou ure to divest yourselves of these pinions
when you come to decide such a question. Le' me ask
vou, was ( ver such a question submitted to a people be
lore? Here are thirty ini lions of people, constituting
the great- s', the freest and the most powerful nation on
the hive of the earth. Is she to fall down in a day ? Are
we hastily to go oil'—to Ily from all the greatness we
have inh- rited and acquired, and madly, wil lly mu k in
the wild-1iieutftin experiment.:I governin' lit, and sub'ti
tU'e it for the better one we now enjoy ?
Inc moment we are divided, what are we? Ilelore all
tho nations of tlm earth our greatness is given up. Is
there any one of you, any whose liejft swills with pride
and love of country, that would not mourn over the
slighti -t diminution of tho greatness of his country's
power. We r*pirii need the iiiugbtinea-t ami supercilious
ness of a haughty nation's pride when we w-re hut a fceblo
colony, I might sav involved in revolution. N. w your
tUg carries respect at d fear and iovc over sea and land;
it is everywhere-hailed with t'm profeundest respect.
Wl.cn you ate comp - led to blow from its lolds several of
the stats that now adorn it—rhpn »!••» watip.g constella
tion ehali ahpw its niiiimished head—what will become of
that respect, founded ill fear a« well as In love* What
will become of th it re-pect with which it was hailed un
il, r a peaceful Government ? When you go abroad now,
and when*to the qt ettion as to what you are, you answer
you arc an American, you arc treated instantly wltft more
respect than even the proud Mugilehman. Of all names
it is that by which a man would prefer to travel in Eu
rope. It is your country’s namo that gives you thss
s'amp, this great power. It is that great country whose
name never tails to prove a shadow of protection over
you.
Do you not believe now that foreign nations are tri
umphing in the division and dismemberment of tins
great Government? They feared its example; they fear
ed its liberty; but now they lock to you wjrh a good gov
ernment founded on liberty and on principles which may
bo to them a «I-tig<;iotn examp’e—they look to you to
cite von as an evidence that all popular government is
a delusion. “Men arc not capable of governing them
srlvcs,” thev say sueetiugly, “and the people of the
United States arc showing it. They live in a country
that reverses power. They had all sway and all domin
ion, yet you see by party controversy and the little ex
asptratiuua that spring out of it, thti great Government is
in an instant exploded under the madness of par' v. In six
months that proud empire, reaching to the skier—stre’ch
ing its arms over the world hag fallen to the ground.—
Tb> y are an evidence that man requires kings and des
potisms.” You, the proud nation, are now cited a« an
example of the impotency, the Incapacity of mankind
far self-government—to show that your boasted lihcity
is ncthiug but tho inflation of fancies, hiving no pow
er, no strength, no capacities. These are the co sc
qu* tiers thn willuoorue from a disr-olution of the Union.
Let us strive, then, to bring the seceders back and re
form them. Here is a Government formed—nil its laws
aud institu'ions perfect. The house is cotnp'eie and fur
nished. Those who have left us have but to step in and
take poss. s-ion ol the mauaiou of their father*, fly
standing fast bv the Union and showing th* seceders
that there is no probability that we will uuite with them;
an i if the other loyal sUveholding States will show the
same disapprobation of their course, will that not have
the < If ct of checking the career of this revolution ?—
Won’t iu tendency be to make them thiuk of returni. g
to their brethren who are endeavoring to itersuade them
back by tokens of love and a if c'ion? When they see
we will not follow, won’t they return to Us *
That is our best policy, if wc want to rffect the re
union of tits weeded 8tat»s. It is not our policy to in
creage the evil by j' itiiag them. W ill it ha more d Ifi
cull for them toCnne back alone than if six others
joined them ? Won’t that put farther from us all hopes
of a rcuuiou ? It seems to me that every view, every
argument, is capable of demoostratiou th it the course of
i wisdom and pol'cy for os it to stand by the Union. It U
better for us for ifee future—better for the future of the
country. Iiy showing to our erring brethren of lie
■ Souib that we will net go with them; by showing them
our fmd opinion that tin ir experiment must prove a
failure, and that they can expect nothing like encourage
m nt from us, will that not Lave a tendency tobnig
them hack ? I think it will.
Upon an occasion not unlike the present, ten years
ago, Mi. Clay stood near the spot which 1 now occupy.
The circumstances of the times we e then not ailogetti
er unlike what they are now. He stool here in 1850.
In l*<ds the storm was gathering ns it has no# gathered.
Great apprehensions were entertained in the count ty
that it would terminate in disunion. Mr. Clay went to
Coi gross in 18I'J. He brought forward a series of coin
prorriftes iu 1850, and had them passed. Tint pacified
the country and preserved the Union. Iu 1850 he canto
here and iu this Legislature he delivered and address —
The storm had then p t8-ed bv, but he spake to them wj.h
n prophet's fire, and with all a patriot's concern of the
character of the Consiitution of their country and the
value of the Union. He said : “1 have Lo.-tt asked
when would I consent to give up this Union ? I answer
never! never! never! and I warn you, my countrymen,
now, if as things St em to tend, this country sliou'd be
divided into a Union and a Disunion party, I here now,
no matter who compose that party, declare in t self a
member of the Union party. Whether it be a Whig or
a Democrat that belongs to the parly of the Uuion,
there I subscribe my name—‘.hero I uuile my heart and
hand with that party.” How would be answer the quer
tion, What shali we do? Shell we quit this Union uuw
and go Oil' upon the t xperimeul of our brethren of the
South? What would he a: awer.wbo then anwered as i
havc stated ?
I say then it would he wisdom in tis never to consider
the question of dissolution. It is not n question to be de
bited; i‘ is not >t question to lie settled upon poli.'ii s
0" arguments. You knew the fruit of that tree is good.
Stand under it; feed upon its rich fruits as von have done,
until you see a better one at a distance, oi until some
great necessity it i pan us—until a necessity like that by
which our parents were driven from Kdeu shall drive
you from it. Then gr; it will be time then, and thatre
cessity will be your justification. There is another au
thority still more venerable than that of the illustrious
m .u whom I have mentioned—I menu General Wa.hiug
ton. Do you believe he was a wise mau ? What did 1 c
tell you of the value of this Union, and of your duty to
maintain and uphold it?—not merely argum -illative de
votion, ready to argue yourselves in or out of it ou occa
sion, ho told ycu to have an immovable attachment to
the Union—m ver to think of abandoning it; stick to it;
tight for it; fight in it; ir yottr tights are dislutb-.i main
tain them, if that desperate extremity should come ; bat
that desperate extremity is not to be apprehended. It
may occur for a short time. Wrong and oppression may
be practised for a short timj. Uud rulers may oppress
you a-t they li«»c oppressed others. You may have a
mischievous President and an ignorant and injurious Con
gress. All this niav occur, but all this, iu the wisdom of
the Constitution, is swallowt d tip in the general good.—
That same Constitution which, in the infirmity of buni.u
nature, necessarily hi jects you to these evils, gives you
the power of redre.-si: g ibttn at short intervals ol time,
and lie who cannot, for the perpetual good, be..r suuii
evils for a short time, does not deserve to be a member
of a good government Von have ihe opp rtnnity of re

est von, Mi l i»:tl iu jivir clear conviction. Ti at is the
courr-e I have recommended. What have you done? —
Arc you not | ledged to this course? What has old Ken
tucky's course been ? You sent some years ago a j icce
of Kentucky marble to be wr. .jht up into the structure
of that i ijjeijJccul mcmiu'tnt ol the Father ol his
Ooun vy—now m fini-ditd n the city of Washington. Teat

enter the Union rfterthc adoption ol the presentConsti

tes’imonv ergrr.ven by your order. It Is engraven upon
tho msrble. I' stands a purl of the gr< V. muniment to
the m* mory ot Washington, where a'lthe world may see
it. While Washington w snored as the founder of tho
’,'ivon— the ler of the country—in lb it holy k’cj i g
i this nnnunn ntof recorded rock in which you say you
will be the las', to leave the Union.
Now, Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, when you have ex
amined in every material point rf view, in the view of
every material interest, this question as to the policy and
c mreo Kentucky ouch to purser- wlijm vuit have founded

of this period, it it he phi sad fate tliat our country now
is to parish, and he is left to read only the in *t|rnfnl hi—
tory of it.-' tall, how would you rather it would stand u
that history—that Kentucky, in the tumult of this revo
lution » ,-1 led away, led away from her colors and her
Gou-titution, anifjiiined in the sad experitnetit of a South
ern Cotton State Republic? that she sundered herself
from the parent Government, which was brokuu into
fragments, and helped to form liult Governments, which
soon cm Burned each other 7 qr U.nt old Kentucky wins
left when the Ipnd had lie.-u swept by secession and le
volutioti, and nothing was left of the Union. Kentucky
alone was neon standing upon the Held which revolution
h id conquered—standing alone, like * stalwart, uncon
quered eld warrior, with the (Jig of his country iu his
hand, standing bv the falling column—that the last scene
of your ap;ostor should leave him sitting Ike Marius
upon the ruins of Carthage, mourning the melancholy
and disgraceful fall of his own once glorious country ?—
Where would you rather your ancestor should bo pre
sented in history—as Gliding i ff into revolution ar.d se
cession. making the experiment of the nt w republic, or
I standing unconqu t< d and alone, with ho stars and
strip ’s i i his hand, or failing nobly and faithfully and
d ‘voiedlv with the Constitution of hw country ? I tbit k
there is rot one of ijs t>’ut would not prefer our ancestor
to take the.t course. 1 kuow that we sometimes would
b« willing that ancestors would pursue courses that wc
a’-e nv. willing to pursue ourselves.—There is hardship,
dilticul y and danger about it that wo would rather avoid,
provided weertt have, i-'O i through an aticc tor, the he
r ditaiy glory of acting such a self saeriiiuipg part as
t at.
Mr. Ppeaker, I have occupied much more of the t;me
of this • nlighlencd body than I intended. In coaclusiou,
I will only reptat my acknowledgment for the great
many honors you luvc conferred upon rac. They will
nuke ray retirement honorable, peaceful and happy, and
will levive recollections continually of your kindness and
of that confidence which you placed in me. I have been
a long time in the service of my country. Here, sir,

an t the youngest among you. 1 was once upon the floor
of this hoU'C endeavoring todsir-e my country,as you
are. For many long years, in one position or other, I
have lived. I ought o retire. The time has come. 1
have wished for it. You have made the wav to that re

prav to that 1‘rovidence which hai been as it were a
shield over our country so lo >g, that you may be made
the instruments of preserving it through all the great
cmcigenrna and tiie great perils through which it haB
now to piss, that by your fortitude and courage you will
uphold the priueipl sof your Goverr me it, by y. ur wi.

the less because wc love our country more and wtuld
