Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana: Delivered in the House of Representative, March 9, 1864 The House being in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union - Mr. VOORHEES said: Mr. Chairman: I arise to address the House to-day with feelings of profound depression and gloom. It is a melancholy spectacle to behold a free government die. The world it is true is filled with the evidences of decay. All nature speaks the voice of dissolution, and the highway of history and of life is strewn with the wrecks which time, the great despoiler, has made. But hope of the future, bright visions of reviving glory are no where denied to the heart of man save as he gazes upon the downfall of legal liberty. He listens sorrowfully to the autumn winds as they sigh through dismantled forests, but he knows that their breath will be soft and versal in the spring, and that the dead flowers and the withered foliage will blossom and bloom again. He sees the sky overcast with the angry frown of the tempest, but he knows that the Bun will reappear, and the stars, the bright emblazony of God, cannot perish. Man himself, this strange connecting link between dust and deity, totters wearily onward under the weight of years and pain towards the gaping tomb, but how briefly his mind lingers around that dismal spot. It is filled with tears and grief, and the willow and the cypress gather around it with their loving, but mournful embrace. And is this all? Not so. If a man die shall he not live again? Beyond the grave, in the distant Aiden, hope provides an elysium of the soul where the mortal assumes immortality and life becomes an endless splendor. But where, sir, in all the dreary regions of the past, filled with convulsions, wars, and crimes, can you point your finger the tomb of a free commonwealth on which the angel of resurrection has ever descended or from 7 hose mouth the stone of despotism has ever been rolled away? Where, in what age and in what clime, have the ruins of constitutional freedom renew their youth and regained their lost estate by whose strong grip has the dead corpse of the Republic once fallen ever been raised? The merciful Master who walked upon the waters and bade the winds be still lelt no ordained apostles with power to wrench apart the jaws of national death and release the victims of despotism. The wail of the heart-broken over the dead is not so sad to me as the realization of this fact. But all history, with a loud unbroken voice, proclaims it, and the evidence of what the past has been is conclusive to my mind of what the future wi Ube. Wherever in the wide domain of human conduct a people once possessed of liberty, with all power in their own hands, have surrendered these great gifts of God at the command, of the usurper they have never afterwards proves themselves worthy to regain their forfeited treasures. Sir, let history speak on this point. Bend your ear, and listen to the solemn warnings which distant ages perpetually utter in their uneasy slumbers. Four thousand years of human experience are open and present for the study of the American people. Standing as we do the last and greatest Republic in the midst of the earth, it becomes us most deeply ih this Crisis of our destiny to examine well the career and the final fate of kindred governments in the past. The principles of self-government are of ancient origin. They were not created by the authors of the American Constitution. They were adopted by those wise and gifted minds from the models of former times and applied to the wants of the American people. Far back in the gray, uncertain dawn of history, in the laud of mystery and of miracles, the hand of Almighty benevolence planted the seeds of constitutional government by which life, liberty, and property were made secure. Abraham and Lot each governed his household and his herd men by law; and although they became offended at each other, yet under the d.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana: Delivered in the House of Representatives, May 21, 1862 It is said, however, here and elsewhere throughout the country, that we are a nation of inexhaustible resources, almost. Fabulous wealth, and that burdens which would cause other Governments to reel and stagger are as light as feathers to us. This is a pleasing tribute to'our national vanity; it sounds well in our self-complacent ears. We have been so long exalted in happiness over all other people, so long blessed in every enjoyment above what God has ever vouchsafed to any other nation, that we are even now unwilling or una ble to realize the fact that the hand of a i'iction has at last fallen upon us with a force almost as cruel as that which visited Jerusalem when Titus was en camped before her walls. It is true, however, that we abound in wealth. It is true that our lap has been filled with treasure; but things in this world exist principally by comparison. That which constituted immense wealth alittle more than a year ago, in view of a public debt of less than fifty millions, diminishes rapidly when brought to bear on a debt of forty times that amount.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: T. A Hendricks We, without the hearing, without the counsel of the men of the South, propose to make a Government which they shall respect and obey. Are the circumstances favorable to this work? How different from the circumstances that surrounded our fathers when they made the Government! Peace then, peace now; but peace then after a war which had united the people; peace now after a war which has made such divisions among us, as that you now say eleven States ought not to be represented in Congress. Again, sir, the fact that there is such a desire to change the Constitution should admonish us that we ought not to attempt the work. I understand that there are seventy propositions to amend the Constitution. In this Hall there have been two or three upon the same subject-matter, two or three amendments that we shall not pay a debt of the South which the South itself has repudiated, which can never according to the terms of the debt itself become due. And covering nearly the entire instrument propositions for amendment are made. I was once, when quite a young man, a member of the Legislature of my State, and nothing struck me as a greater curiosity than the fact that upon certain questions there was a great desire to offer propositions and bills, and especially the estray laws, the road laws, and the school laws. Members from different parts of the State seemed to make a race of speed which should succeed in first getting his proposition before the body. Such a spectacle we to-day witness in regard to the Constitution of our country. It seems to be a race among Senators and Representatives who shall offer the greatest number of amendments to the Constitution of the country. I do not expect to vote for the proposition that is now before us or any other that may be made. In some regards 1 think the Constitution could be improved, but I would not propose any amendment, nor would I vote for any, when I think we are not in a condition for the work. This proposition comes from the committee of fifteen; a committee which was constituted and the powers of which were defined by this resolution: "Resolved, That a joint committee of fifteen members shall be appointed, nine of whom shall be members of the House and six members of the Senate, who shall in quire into the condition of the States which formed the so-called Confederate States of America, and report whether they or any of them are entitled to he represented in either House of Congress; with leave to report at any time by bill or otherwise." Sir, there was one question upon which it was important that the action of the two Houses should be uniform, should agree, and that was in respect to representation. It seemed to be important that when Senators were admitted into this body from Southern Spates, Representatives at the same time should be admitted into the House of Representatives. In other words, the Senate should not allow representation from a Southern State and the House deny that representation to the same State; and therefore it was understood that there should be a joint committee on that subject, because it was a question relating to the organization of both bodies, and this committee was organized with a view to reach that question, and that only - to inquire into the condition of the Southern States, whether they are entitled to representation; and upon that question to report to the Senate and to the House either by bill or otherwise. Sir, the Senate has never said to that committee that it might inquire into any other question. Mr. Fessenden. Allow me to ask the Senator if he heard the explanation which I gave? Mr. Hendricks. I did, and I am going to speak of that. This is an extraordinary committee to consider just one question, and that is the question whether the Southern States ought to be represented in this Hall and in the Hall at the other end of the Capitol. That committee h.

If the Senator will oppose them; that is all I ask. [laughter.] Mr. Henderson. I said nothing about Opposing them nor accepting them. The ques tion raised by the Senator was one of compara tive merit between the plans. The plans might have been substantially the same, and yet the results be essentially different. As vegetation is varied by climate, so are the, consequences of human action varied by surrounding circum stances. Congress was not obliged to accept Mr. Lincoln's plan. It could accept or reject: It has the same discretion with Mr. J ohnson's plan. If accepting the organizations would tend to restore Union and harmony they ought to be accepted. If those organizations are in rebel hands their recognition. Must complicate our troubles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
