VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
Delinte oit Mr. CrotherK'Roiolutlon*,
Iikktrucling Our Keprchciilatlvct In
CongresM.
In the House of Delegates, Wednesday,
July 10, 1861, Mr. Crotiiers, of Brooke,
offered the following resolutions :
llesolred, by the General Atternbh/ of Vir
ginia, That our Senators in Coug.ess be
iustructed, and our .Representatives there
he requested, to vote whatever amount of
men and money may be necessary to ena
ble the Administration to suppress the 10
belliou in certain portions of the South,
and to maintain the integrity of the Union.
JiesolveJ, That they be instructed and
requested us aforesaid to oppose any plan
of compromise that may be offered unless j
it be 011 the basis of an ackuovvledginent i
bv the seceded States of the supremacy of 1
the Constitution of the United States.
JiesolveJ, That the Governor be request- ;
eel to communicate the foregoing to our 1
Senators and Representatives in Congress ;
Jiisohed, That the concurrence of the 1
Senate be requested in the foregoing reso- ?
iutious.
Mr. Vance having moved to lay the res
olutions on the table, and explained his '
object in doing so,
Mr. Miner, of Fairfax, said: 1 am
sorry to hear any objection to these reso
lutions. I did not think it possible tha;
any man who could be in this Assembly j
would raise an objection to the vigorous j
prosecution of that war which is now com- ?
nteneed by the enemies of constitutional j
liberty. The resolution merely requests
that our representatives be instructvd t<? ;
vote means to support the administration!
of our government in putting down the re- j
hellion that exists in certain portions of j
the South. Can any Union man have any ;
objection to stu-h a resolution as that??;
Can he have any objection, in other words, i
to the government having full power to i
carry on this war to the utter extermiua- (
tiou of this rebellion 7 Did not the patri
ots ot the Revolution pledge their lives and ;
fortunes and sacred honors to carry out thi
declaration contained in th^ir immortal
Declaration of Independence, penned by an '
illustrious citizen of Virginia ? Can we,
the descendants of such illustrious sires,
refuse now to give means to the Adminis
tration to support those principles, now
that their very existence is threatened? j
I hope that the resolution will be sa3- j
mined, and the motion to lay on the table ;
voted dawn.
Mr. Hurema.v. of Tvler?I ask that the;
resolutions be again read.
The Clerk read them.
Mr. Borbuan?1 will just saj* that, for
one, I am ready to give the resolutions my
hearty support; and though it may not be
necessary thus to instruct our representa
l\es?though we believe that they will do
just what we there instruct them to do,
without the instructions, yet it says to the i
world that those are our sentiments : it ?
rhoHa uui gO?.?l *?-ilt tntcirfl* fliie fnnro. I
meat for the suppression of rebellion, and ?
our anxiety about the prosecution of this ,
war, (if we so term it,) to suppress the re
bellion in our country. If we lay it on
the table, it will show to the world that we
are not in favor of our Senators and Rep
resentatives thus voting men and means
for the prosecution of this effort for the
Mtppressiou ot this rebellion. I hope that
nothing will he placed upon the record
here, that would give the least intimation
to the world that we are in any degree op
posed to the prosecution of this war?any
thing that would throw the least shadow of
suspicion upon the sentiments of the mem
hers of this House and jf the Semite here
assembled. I hope the resolutions will ,
nass. and not be laid on the table.
.Mr. Fakxswohth, of Upshur?I shall
vote for the resolution nnd against tabling
thorn, for the simple reason, if for no oth
er, that if we tible them, it does but ex -
press the fact that we are hesitating and
halting between two opinions. It would
be better, sir, to have the necessary Amount
of means appropriated for the speedy pros*
ecntion of this war. I am in .favor that
this war be prosecuted with vigor, with
nerve, and with determination to bring it
to a close, and an honorable close. And I
am in favor, sir, that no compromise short
of an acknowledgement of the Constitution
and the constitutional provision of the
Union, shall be admitted upon the part of
this government. If we table this resolu
tion. it doc? at least foreshadow that we
would compromise with the South short of
the constitutional provision of this Union.
For one, I know my constituents never will
lie satisfied to compromise short of an ac
knowledgment of the supremacy of the
Uonstitutiou of the United States, in sup
porting and sustaining itself, its own con- i
Stitutional liberty, and the Union.
I shall go for the resolutions most heart
ily: for with anything short of these things
I know my constituents would not be sat
isfied.
Mr. Vance of Harrison?I do not want
gentlemen to understand, or argue upon
the presumption, that because I moved to
lay the resolution on the table I am
in opposition to the prosecution of the war.
I atu as much in favor of prosecuting it to
the bitter end as any member here?as
decidedly in favor of the maintainance of
the Union in its integrity as any one; but
I do not see the necessity of this House
passing a resolution of that kind, instruct
ing our representatives to do just what
they will s? e they must do without in
structions. I do not suppose one of our
representatives would refuse to vote men
and money for the prosecution of this war.
Nor do I suppose they would vote for any
measure of reconciliation recnguizing the
Southern Confederacy, nor for any meas
ure that might bring peaco unless it should
acknowledge the supremacy of the Con
stitution and the laws. The simple reason
why I propose to lay the resolutions on
the table is that there is no necessity for
the passage of any such resolutions.
Mr West, of Wetzel?It is, sir, certaiu
| that if these resolutions had not been pre
| sented. the position of the gentleman from
j Harrison might have been correct; but
| here are the resolutions presented to this
1 body, and this body refuses even to take a
! vote upon them. What would be the in
jference? I will admit to the gentleman
t from Harrison that we have good .?od true
i men in Congress, nnd who no doubt, will
j carry out and do all that is expected of
them by their constituents, and that it may
f not be necessary to instruct or advise them
\ in relation to their duty
j A message from the Senate interrupted
j fur a few moments.
Mr. West, resuming?I was remarking.
j?ir. I have no dnnbt our Senator- and
Representative wen* all advised of what it
j was expected the/ would carry out. But
! men are subject to changes, especially in
! the present crisis: mid suppose that this
| should go to the world,that after they have
received instructions at our hands, and
knew what our wishes were, that a resolu
tion reiterating the instructions was pre
sented to the House of Delegates, an ithey
refused to vote for it, and tabled it; do
we not thereby advise them that we have
? changcd our position, and unnerve their
! exertions whatever they might be, and, by
i the very act that is no proposed to be dour,
j s:?y to them that this General Assembly is
; now halting between two opinions, and
' that there is nothing decisive iu the action
! of this body? It can, sir,say nothing less;
and the tabliugof that resolution is a death
! blow to the exertion that is now making;
and 1 feel astonished that myvoung friend
has presumed to make the motion he lias
made. But 1 hope this House will give it
a quietus that never?never has been given
to anything except it is by a unanimous
vote, and thus show itself ty approve the
resolutions. ? ?
Mr. CiiOTJiEP.3?As there is nothing con
tained iu the resolutions that is thought
to be offensive. 1 hope my friend ft om Har
rison will withdraw his motion.
Mr. Akxold, of Lewis?I regret, sir. very
much indeed that at the very moment I
arrive here, resolutions of this kind should
be presented. This body has assembled
under peculiar circumstances. The legis
lature of Virginia called a convention at
Richmond, that Convention took it upon
itself to decide for Virginia that she had a
right to secede from the General Govern
ment. The act of that Convention as we
all know has been sustained by a very
large majority in this State; notwithstand
ing the contrary opinion has been also
sustained by a very large majority in
Northwestern Virginia. I as one of that
party have felt it my duty and right to
oppose the adoption of that ordinance;
and I come here to-day as a Union man,
but I do not come here for the purpose of
saying to my people?to Virginians?to
those who have been misled by 4his thing,
that we are in favor of adopting resolu
tions here that would repudiate the idea
of a compromise. Now, sir, I will pieseut
the view I have always taken of this sub
ject: and 1 do not know what gentlemen
will think of me?whether they will think
me secessionist or Unionist; bur I am a
member of this body, and I come here on
my own respon.-ibility and of uiy own free
will and 1 intend to speak my sentiments
on that resolution. I regret that it is
thrust upon me just as I am here for the
first time.

mine when I arrived in this place, that 1
euuiu here lor the purpose of carrying on
a war and opposing compromise. Mv heart
beats warmly for compromise and the sav

time Mouth Carolina first moved in this
matter, w. I. zeal and fleifi*, that tl.is
thing should be settle,1 in some |orn) or
other. I spent the wiutcr i-. the South I
wasn Charleston tfce very day South Car
olina seceded. I heard the sentiments of
the people there and my heart ached with
sorrow when I saw the probability of the

compromise; and I regret that the chances
are yet against compromise: but yet Ihn ve

Cut there is another thing, my friends.
U e are right on the border of this great
pally strife; and I know better men never
breathed the breath of life than are inrolv
ahon't";.! Stru"Rl,:: who nothing
ed of l?"f?q"^ci. and never conceiv
ed of it. Why. sir, the passing of th?t
resolution would even sav to then, '-we
are here a? a body to blot von out of exist
ence, because it may turn out that this
War never will cease until there ij au ex
termination of the South. .1 for one will
never give mv vote or my consent to indi
cate that I want to see any people ejtor
minatcd. Notwithstanding. I believe this
. ou "s intact to-day, that not one of the
stars of the galaxy is obliterated, yet I am
no: one that is willing to say to (hem tlist
?yon, thousands fuul millions of you who
have been misled l>y this thin}??that you
must humble yourselves before the altnr
before you can even have the small pittance
of >i compromise." My heart does not
beat in that way, nor will ray soul ever
rejoice at such ft thing. I hop<T, therefore,
as there is some apprehension that the
, 1 .tying; of this resolution on the table
I may be misconceived, that the gentleman
! will withdraw his resolutions. "
Mr. Wkst. I never did in oil my life
? desire to impose myself upon any delihera
I live body: but sir, it is the next thing to an
J impossibility for me to retrain from some
: remarks in reply to the gentleman from
Lewis.
However, sir, astonishing and astounding
: his remarks may be to this body under all
the circumstances, 3*et his own declaration
j >ir, is calculated to dcline his position.?
He freely and candidly sayB to this body
that he has spent the winter in the South.
It would perhaps have b*en well if he had
remained there. I say with all deference
to the gentleman thot it might have been
I well if that gentleman hud remained in the
j South. The gentleman has come to the
j wrong place sir for compromise. This body
t have set their stakes, and they are deter
j mined, whether it be I or weal or woe that
j they will prosecute their course. There
i is n?? middle ground. No member holdiog
i seat in this House can occupy a middle
position. There is no neutrality here, sir.
I We have come here not to talk alone, but
to act; and the fiction of this body is now
[ defined and determine 1, and come life or
i death, be the destiny of this body whatev
| er it may be under the circumstances, we
have taken our lives in our hands and laid
j them on the altar of our country, which
J is more sacred to an American citizen than
j his blood; and we are determined now to
follow out our course to the end. .Most
astonishing that any geutleman elected to
this boly,?who has had the honor confer
red upon him of a seat in this legislature?
would couie here and ask less thau he
would be contented or willing to take?less
than there is in those resolutions. Does
that resolution propose to c-xterininatc tue
South ? Is there an}* clause in that reso
lution that intimates or intends anything
of the kind? Is there anything more in:
it, Mr. Speaker, than ought to be accepted I
by every honest and patriotic gentleman on
jthisiioor? We only ask that the supre
; uvicy of the General Government may be j
i acknowledged. Does the gentleman from j
Lewis want anything less? Is he willing '
ti take anything less? Will he. us :i '
Virginian, and member of this General j
Assembly, be contented with anything less
than a fair and honorable adjustment of
the difficulties that now exist? Is he will- :
ing, sir, to humble himself in this position I
to acknowledge the supremacy of Jeff. !
Davis' government? Can -lie do that? j
Xo, sir ; I think he is not capable ; he has j
too good au appearance. The gentleman
has a good face and a big nose. This is al- ?
ways an indication of wisdom.
Hut, sir, the gentleman will ntul when
he.servos here a few days, that this body is
inflexibly opposed to anything like an un
manly compromise. We are prepared to
rtt. OTUu,?Pi8i?J?irt
equality and justice and honor The hon
or oT this great nation can never be sul
lied, or its integrity surrendered. No, sir,
L would say, prosecute the war, and if it
must become a war of extermination, and
the South sees cause to persist, I say, in
the name of God, exterminate them ! Nev
er will this proud Government of ours
condescend to yield to old Jell*. D.ivis and
his followers.
That resolution asks nothing but fair
and equitable compromise. It only in
structs our Senators and Representatives
iu Congress to ask for that, and no more,
and to vote money and means to carry it
out. Does the gentleman want to starve
our soldiers and oflicers ? Does he intend
to deny them the means of prosecuting
and carrying on this war? Does he intend
to say by vote on this floor, that he is in
favor of a compromise on such principles
as scccssionism would suggest to this
House or to our Congressmen ? I trust ho
does not.
I will just say that I do hope this House
will give the motion to lay on the table a
j burial, sir, that never shall have a resur
! rection, and let that go to the country?I
, mean a unanimous vote against the motion
: to lay on the table.
I Mr. Arnold?I do not desire to proems
! filiate the expression of the views I might
| entertain on this subject. The gentleman
| I think presumes?he may havagot into
j his head?that this is Congress, and that
j we have the power to appropriate money
j and carry on this war, and to indicate the
| terms upon which compromise might be
made. Now, sir, this body has no power
i over the subject?none whatever. And
; for that very reason 1 think it is wholly.,
i unnecessary and impolitic in this body to
; undertake to indicate to Congress what she!
' desires abont it.
i The gentleman remarked that I had bet
i ter remained in the South. Well, sir, it
may have been that I had ; and perhaps if
! he had been there with me. he would have
; had more of the milk of human kindness
| running through his veins. But, sir. the
very fact that I was in the South and saw
I all that progressed there made me more
i eoufirmed a Union man. I foresaw the
i destiny of this thing, and 1113* very heart
; ached when I conceived that I could see
i that Virginia would secede. But, sir, I
| did not co ae here to assume the powers of
, Congress. I am not here for that purpose.
Mr. West (interrupting)?The gentle
' man will certainly not understand that wo
: are assuming the powers of Congress, but
i if he will examine the proceedings of Leg
islatures lie will find that this is nothing
j more than the usual course for a legislu
j ture to pursue, to instruct their Senators,
and request their Representatives, in Con
; grcsa to do such things us they may desire
them to do; and especially if wo have a
j right to do it at any lime we hare a right
; to do it at this time, a*, a period when they
j are looking for advice and instruction from
I us.
J Mr. Ahnold, (resuming)?Well. I know.
; sir, it has beeu the practice, and 1 under
stand that practice to be merely indicative
! of what the people, through their reprc
j sentatives, desire. But I do not suppose
i that it has ever been considered by any
i gentleman in a legislative capacity, that
{ that was obligatory on Congress ; and for
i that reason these preliminary proceedings
| were merely advisable.
i But they seem to take the ground?the
j geutlerasm does?that unless this is done
the members of Congress and Senators
j cannot do anything whatever?that they
? :tre standing there with their hands tied,
and we may speak for thciu. Why, sir, it'
that i3 the case this body ought to have
! he?ituted long before they would have sent
such men there. If this body 19 to be the
mere organ to s;>oak for their representa
tives in Congress, why Jet them do so ; but
1 do not consider it my duty, nnd 1 will
never dodt; and especially to advise them
| never to accept any terms of compromise.
Now we know that the North is a proud
people, and the South is a proud people: I
and why would you call on members of
i Congress to enforce a requisition that mor
j tal man never was known to accede to
; The Anglo-Saxon race is not of that
mettle; and sir whenever you ask the
! members of Congress to be tied down to
[ tluit principle, it is equivalent to spying.
! why we go for the extermination of the
i South before we will submit. Because
every man who knows anything of the
human race knows that they never will
do on this earth. And why instruct your
members to do what common sense ami
human reason knows never will bo done.
Why, sir, this very resolution whenever it
goes forth to the world will shock human
ity. It will drive thousands of secession
ists to the army and make the blood run
cold in the reins of the conservative ele
ment of this Union.
For my p:>rt I will never vote for it while
my head is hot or my heart beats. I do
not think it necessary to multiply words.
I am a Virginian. I love my country
and my State. I love it because it gave
birth to the Father of hi3 country; I
love it because it gave birth to" the
author of the Declaration of American
independence; and I loco it yet more be*
c iuse it gne bir h to that g.vnt chi r er of
our liberties, the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, which I admire and love and am
willing to live and abide by it through all
time. But, sir. we should say to our Uep
resentatives, "We want peace,'' and it
would be equivalent to saying so to the
people of Eastern Virginia, our neighbors
and friends; but to adopt that resolution
would be equivalent to saying that we
want nothing but avenging blood. I can {
say for one, and f hope this body may say
it, (that they want peace,).and while they
love their country and government and the j
Constitution, and recognize it as the su- i
preme law of the land, yet they love their j
neighbors ami their brethren.
? i
Fontaj.n Smith, of Marlon? 1 am at n |d.?, sir. t.?
see what then* is in these resolution* so very obj\v
tionable. What are the resolution*? They n*k that
utir representatives iu Congress, and I ho donate, be
iiistruetod it? vote whatever amounts of men nn.l
money may ho requisite to prosecute till* war; uml
secondly, that n<< couipiotnUe be Pitstalned by that
body that shall to any extent recognize the existing
rebellion au>t the protruded guverumvnt of the
Southern .States.
Now, Sir, whut is the state of the country? We
have the Confederated States, so called, at the South
ant! we have the irovernmcnt of the United Stated:
and the un-j is waging war upon the other. The
one, sir. is beginning to mnrk our country with the
footprints of desolation in blood?has made war
upon the government of the United State* and ii]k>u
the loyal people of all the State-*. For. let hie say,
eir, that this war Is prosecuted not only against the
government of the United States, but against evi-ry
man. woman and child who will not enter into the
rebellion. Western Virginia ha* not felt it incnm
boat on her to bike sides with the rebellion. A por
tion of the Southern States, she has asktd protection
of the General Government, and it has responded to
the appeal and thrown its strong arm around us.
And let uie ut?k the gentleman who preceded me, by
whose privilege does he occupy that sent upon thin
floor? What has guaranteed the right to sit here?
What lias secured peace and tranquility at home?
Kothiug, sir, but the protecting wing of thisbeuifl
What. u|?o? tho otfier hand/'hii.y driven'Lhion men
froui their home* and m.ldo their lire sides defol.ite?
Why. sir. is the hammer silent upon the anvil, and
the shuttle motionless in the loom? Why is it our
commerce is cut off, trade stagnated; that business
in all its ramifications lias been stopped: that sack
cloth and mourning are spread like a pall over this
ones peacefhl. beautiful aiid happy land? It is '??*
cause rebellion has made war upon the government
and upou all the interest? of the country?u on your
interests and mine, and everybody's. Why is it that
men haw been torn from their homes, their wivw
atitl cliildrbu; that the light of domestic Iwppine.scj
has been ruthlessly extinguished; that homes aru
desolating, harvests neglected and destroyed, nnd
ruin staring our people in the face? It is because
theto is a spirit abroad iu the laud that wars upon
every interest in the country. Ami now, sir, will
wo compromise with that? [A member, *luoktr.'*J
Can ivo compromise with it ? Did I umlerstaud the
gentleman to my that he never, whilst his head was
warm and his heart beat, would vote for any resolu
tion that said i:i substance that we should not com
promise? I*'t me ask him, can truth compromise
with error; can religion compromise witlinin: can
virtue compromise with vice? Mr. there are ?-o con
cessions to be made. What would you think or u
minister of th?* Gospel, clothed iu all the sanctity of
his tioly profession, with the sacred volume of in
spiration in his hand, me ?ting the devil in sotuo out
of-the-way place and ? nd ivoriiur to patch up a coih
tmuuinu with him.
| The gentleman says, sir. that the Southern people
! can never lie confyicred?that tli?*.v never will lie ex
terminated. It tines seem to me that there is a very
j great misapprehension iit relation to this won! 4*e\
> termination." We .never u*e this won!, fur we ?!??
not mean to exterminate ntiy one. Hut in the miii
iij* South they use ?-eh term?: they ii?o the won!
| "coercion'* and "subjugation"? words uuknowu to
tit in this latitude. '1 hey niv rtrirkcii.rniiu our vo
cabulary. Our object Is not to fuhiugate Imt to pro
' tect : not to trample on rights, Imt to restore the
! rights of civil ami religious liberty under tlx* run
| btituri'-n. And. sir. it there lie a man in the beaut i
? fill .Sunny South f >r which my heart bteeds. who will
I pot sacrifice his life for civil or religious liberty, or
; who is iu rebellion against both. I will say with the
I gentleman from Wet/el, that 1 f >r one ?il| sacrifice
my&elt on the altar of my country but th??t lie shall
lie exterminate i. (A member, "that"* tJic doctrine." J
Not cxteiuiin&to his constitutional rights, but exter
minate h!m, who is desirous of exterminating your
' constitutional rights; and the ?? institution which has
I secured rcpect to us oyrywhere and goamntccd to
; us rights and property at home.
i Why. sir. look ni out*own beautiful Commonweal I hi

| her spreading lakes, her verdant wood", her blue

"and its associations, and her memories of the pa~t.
: Hut let me say to you that Virginia, now desolated,
I corrupted and debauched a- she is with irca?on.
is an object of commiseration. Sir. those who
have wrought thin ruin are iu arms against yon
and tlac (funeral Government, and while thu- in
rebellion we cannot compromise with them. But
we will my to them, '-ground the arms of your
rebellion against our constitution, our government.
; our rights and interests, and you shall bo -respected
! and your rights respected; but as long a? you make
? war upon the government and our rights we cannot
: compromise with you, because this govormneut must
; be sustained ami anarchy and confusiou ipielled." Is
: there a inan here who would not sacrifice everything
lie possesses to sustain this government ? I* there a
'man who would not give up every object he hobla
I dear, much less that little prioe of feeling to which
i the gentleman referred in such pathetic terms, that
I "wo are a proud people." 0. yes; I know uv are
frond, and pride is an inseparable companion of sin.
lie proud man has generally a corrupt heart, and
i this pride must be subdued. This feeling of rrbel
. lion must be subdued, and there is no other, way bv
i whirh it can be dbno than by obeying the dictate*
' of tli-it resolution, and voting men and money to the
! government by which its constitutional provision*
j may bo extended over all the States, anil the pcopie
restored to their constitutional rights, f have said
j ?f .r I believe?that this government never intend
i cd to encroach c.n a sin sic constitutional right ot any
j State. If it did I would not sustain it. If it intend
j id t? make war on any institution guaranteed to u
J single .State. I would not; but when 1 believn that
I the object of this government is to restore nil th"
States to their con-titutlonal rights and lilvrties, I
would niiMaia_tlii? government if it were In my
i power by voting men and money fjr its support.
A few words and I shall have done. Wlmt is the
htatc of the. case, I ask again* 3Ien aro in arms
| against tho government. Men are inarms against
i your interests and mine; and. sir, just look for a
moment at the history of this old commonwealth;
look back to tho Oth of last November, when all was j
|K?ftce and prosperity over this beautiful land?when I
our bills were at par, when the clink of tbe spade j
wa? heard on our internal i:npn?vements?when our j
name wan res poet ed abroad and Virginia was iudeed
looked upon ai? tho mother of State* and btatesmen. j
exerting an influence exercised by no other member i
oj that glorious family. Hew is it now, sir? Her |
bonds aie worth 38. cents on the dollar: all her in
ternal improvements in ruin; Harper's Kerry and
Comport Navy Yard lost to us: tho song of th*
reaper has been supplanted by the tramp of armed
noldiery; our citizens exiled and their property
destroyed, their fire-die* desolated, and ruin in all
its shape* stalking over our land And yet we
areaike l to compromise with the rebel* who have
done nil this!
