Book excerpt: Excerpt from State of the Union: Speech of Hon. Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee, Delivered in the House of Representatives, Jan, 23, 1861 Mr. Etheridge said: Mr. Speaker, I have frequently had occasion to express my opinions in regard to matters of grave public concern, and I have often done so at the risk of imputations upon my political integrity. I have too frequently found that many of those with whom I differed, have indulged in censure of my acts, and imputed even treason to my motives. In a contest like this, involving as it does, the existence of the Government, and the preservation of popular freedom; arousing as it does, the fiercest passions of rival and contending parties, a man must be at once for or against his whole country. It matters not under what banner he arrays himself, those upon the opposite side will attach to him the most selfish and treasonable aims. I say, therefore, in advance, that in whatever I may now say upon the subject under consideration, I shall not seek to evade any responsibilities of that kind. I shall not attempt to speak merely to avoid censure, or by affectation or hypocrisy to court commendation. In what I say, I shall be bound by a strict regard for truth. The opinions I shall avow are those sanctioned by observation and experience; they have the approval of my heart. And the facts to which I shall refer, will, I am sure, be sustained by the unquestioned truths of history. Sir, if I had a jury of twelve honest and unpretending men sworn well and truly to try the issues joined between the contending factions - a jury belonging to no political party, and without other motive than a desire to subserve the best interests of their country - I could, by submitting a plain statement of undisputed facts, have a prompt and unanimous verdict in favor of preserving the Union of these States. Unfortunately, sir, we cannot here, and now, get a disinterested jury; but it is consoling to know that time will soon adjourn all these difficult questions to the arbitrament of all the people, who, with no other weapon that the ballot-box, will be able to arrest revolution and save the country. If, for the last year or two, the men and women of this country could have observed the deliberations of this body; could have seen each member as he is, and witnessed your daily proceedings, they would instantly rise up all over the country, and arrest the tide of revolution, which is threatening to involve us all in one common ruin. There are thirty millions of people whose piace and happiness, whose very existence is involved in these grave issues. This House is composed of but two hundred and thirty-six members, some of whom, doubtless, have reached their present position by the merest accidents. It may be safely assumed that each member of this body represents, among his immediate constituents, more than that number of statesmen - statesmen, perhaps, our superiors in wisdom and moderation, yet we are to be told in this day of fearful precipitation, that because forsooth, Congress, elected as it has been, without reference to the issues now before us, cannot, or will not, instantly do something to stay the tide of revolution, therefore, there is no hope for the country. I say, again, could the people behold those who are now around me, could they see them when under their alternate hopes and fears - the hopes inspired by the "Tribune," or the fears aroused by the thunderings of the "Herald,"-[Laughter.] could they see and know all these things, as they really are, their good sense would cause them to reject with scorn, the idea of hazarding, finally and forever, the peace of the country alone upon the deliberations of such a body? Can it be possible that we hold the final destinies of such a people, and such a country in our hands alone ? I answer, no; such an imputation is a libel upon the good sense of the millions who are resolved to preserve the institutions our ancestors ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee: On the War for the Union; Delivered in the Senate of the United States, July 27, 1861 The Senate having under consideration the joint resolution(S. No.1) to approve and confirm certain acts of the President of the United States for suppressing insurrection end rebellion Mr. Johnson-, of Tennessee, said? Mr. President: When I came from my heme to the seat of Government-, in compliance with the proclamation of the President of the United States calling us to-gether in extra session, it was not my intention to engage in any of the discussions that might transpire in this body; but since the session began, in consequence of the course that things have taken, I feel unwilling to allow the Senate to adjourn without saying a few words in response to many things that have been submitted to the Senate since its session commenced. What little I shall say -to-day will be without much method or order, I shall present the suggestions that occur to my mind, and shall endeavor to speak of the condition of the country as it is. On returning here, we find ourselves, as we were when we adjourned last spring, in the midst of a civil war. That war is now progressing, without much hope or prospect of a speedy termination. It seems to me, Mr. President, that our Government has reached one of three periods through which all Governments must pass. A nation, or a people, have first to pass through a fierce ordeal in obtaining thcirindependenceorseparation from the Government to which they were attached. In some instances this is a severe ordeal. We passed through such an one in the Revolution; we were seven years in effecting the separation, and in taking our position amongst the nations of the earth as a separate and distinct Power. Then, after having succeeded in establishing its independence, and taken its position among the nations of the earth, a nation must show its ability to maintain that position, that separate and distinct independence against other Powers, against foreign foes. In 1812, in the history of our Government, this ordeal commenced, and terminated in 1815. There is still another trial through which a nation must pass. It has to contend against internal foes; I against enemies at home; against those who have no confidence in its integrity, or in the institutions that may be established under its organic law. We are in the midst of this third ordeal, and the problem now being solved before the nations of the earth, and before the people of the United States, is whether we can succeed in maintaining ourseives against the internal foes of the Government; whether we can succeed in putting down traitors and treason, and in establishing the great fact that we have a Government with sufficient strength to maintain its existence against whatever combination may be presented in opposition to it. This brings me to a proposition laid down by the Executive in his recent message to the Congress of the United States. In that message the President said: This is essentially a peoples contest. On the side of the Union, it is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form and substance of Government, whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men; to lift artificial weights from all shoulders; to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all; to afford all an unfettered start, and a fair chance in the race of life. Yielding to partial and temporary departures, from necessity, this is the leading object of the Government, for whose existence we contend. I think the question is fairly and properly stated by the President, that it is a struggle whether the people shall rule; whether the people shall have a Government based upon their intelligence, upon their integrity, upon their purity of character, sufficient to govern themselves. I think this is the true issue; and the time has now arrived when the energies of the nation must be put forth, when there must be union and conce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. G. W. Hughes, of MD., On the State of the Union: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 5, 1861 If we say the darkness shall cover us, in the darkness as in the light, our obligations are still with us. We cannot escape their power or fly from their presence." When Admiral Lord Nelson was about to engage the allied fleet at Trafalgar, the signal flew from the mast head of his ship "England expects every man to do his duty;" and in response to that appeal, there rose from sea to sky one wide wild hurrah - the harbinger of victory. With how much more propriety may the appeal be made to the Representatives of the American people, in the hour of danger to come forward and do their duty; for never in the history of our country, in peace or in war, has she stood more in need of the best services of her sons; for never before have more important questions been agitated, and more serious consequences likely to flow. The problem to be solved is not less momentous than the preservation of the Union. The experiment is to be finally tried whether or not the people of this country are really capable of an intelligent self-government; whether we shall remain a great, a powerful, and a united people, or be shattered into fragments; whether peace and prosperity and order shall reign throughout the land, or "chaos come again." Upon the speeches and votes of the gentlemen on this floor these grave consequences may depend. I much fear, sir, that we are fast drifting towards the verge of that fearful cataract beyond which lies inevitable destruction; which the sagacious mind of Washington apprehended, and against the approach to which he raised his warning voice. Should the plunge be taken, all is over. The history of free governments will be closed, never to be reopened. The cause of human rights and of human liberty will have perished forever. I express myself thus strongly because I am gloomily impressed with the future of our country, if the threatened disruption of our Government should not be arrested; or, if it must needs be dissolved into its original elements, a peaceable separation should not be affected. And I confess that I now have little hopes of either. It has been said "that those whom the gods mean to destroy they first strike with judicial blindness, and then drive them mad." It is to be feared that we may offer a striking illustration of the truth of that saying in our own history. It may be that God, in His anger, is about visiting us with a just chastisement for sins committed or for duties unperformed! It may be that we have fallen short of our high mission, and have failed to accomplish our allotted destiny; that, while we enjoyed the inestimable blessings of our political system, we had forgotten that we held a precious trust for the benefit of posterity. This trust we can honorably discharge only by respecting the example of our fathers, and transmitting it unsullied to our descendants. We must inculcate in our children their glorious precepts; cherish their republican principles: imitate their simplicity and economy; and strengthen the institutions which they established. These institutions form a wise and safe system of government, to which we should adhere with a religious devotion. And above all, let us not forget that our national Constitution, under the shadow and protection of whose wing we have grown to be a mighty people, was the result of a mutual compromise of various and conflicting interests, feelings, and jealousies; and that it can be sustained only by the same sacrifices and compromises; by a steady adherence to the great and immutable principles of justice; and by preserving inviolate its conditions and guarantees.
