POT.ITTI' i T. A Magazine of Fact*—Speech of Judge Trumbull of IlliuoiH. Hon. Lyman Trumbull, U. S. Senator from Illinois, recently made a speech to the people of Jackson, Michigan, from which we copy the following extracts: Fellow Citizens In times of great ex citement, like the present, amid the conflict of arms between hundreds and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, striving for life and victory on the battle-fleld; wheu the ears of our whole country are opening for news from the army of the Potomac and the army of the West; when fathers, mothers and sis ters are eagerly watching the arrival of the cars to see what son, or lather, or brother, has fallen, words have but little effect upon you. You are not in the best frame of mind to stop calmly and consider what your duty at home is. 1 know it is hard to interest you when your minds are running off to the battle-fleld. While our armies are contending to maintain the supremacy of the government, there is a foe at home that is trying to bring to naught our victory. Familiar as it may be to you, it is still im portant that we should look back into the his tory of the last two years. It has !>een a long two years, from the scenes enacted; it seems to us like forty years—it seems to me like half a century since Abraham Lincoln was inaug urated president. It is not two years since we were engaged in a struggle in the United States with a political adversary as to who should have control of the government. The issue was slavery, whether it should be ex tended all over the country, or lie confined to the states where it existed. By the blessing of (iod we triumphed—won a victory in ac cordance with the forms of the constitution. No sooner was the result ascertained, and the telegraph gave notice that Abraham Lin coln was elected president, than those -having control of the government set to work to de stroy—to betray. They were not satisfied with the result, and determined not to submit. They had borne sway in the government lor mauy years. At that time the Executive and Judiciary were in the hands of the democratic party, so called. The House of Representa tives was not completely under their e inlrol. No party had a majority. The Executive the democrats had the control of; so the Judici ary. The republicans in the House not hav ing a clear majority, did not have the (*mtrol. Howell Cobb, then Secretary of the United States Treasury, now a general in the rebel army, went to work to destroy the credit of the government and was so successful that the funds of the government, which had command ed 20 per cent, premium, ran down to :b! pei cent. He borrowed money to carry on the government at 12 per cent, interest, and found it difficult to obtain it at that. Floyd, Secretary of War, and now in the rebel army, went to work systematically to place arms in the hands of men who were plot ting lor the overthrow of the government. The army, 17,000 strong, was scattered to the remotest parts. The navy of the United States, under Tou cey, was in a condition almost as disastrous to tlie government as the army. Every vessel, save the Brooklyn, was sent away on distant service. In December, after the rebellion had culmi nated, he (Toucey) sent the last sloop of war on a cruise of two years—the last one, except the Brooklyn. Floyd not only transported all the arms to the South, but issued an order to transport cannon from Pittsburg to a fort at the mouth of the Mississippi. The people of Pittsburg re monstrated, and would not allow the guns to go. This led to an inquiry, when it was ascer tained that the foundations of the fort were vet under water. During the winter of 1800-01, tiie public properly in the South was seized. The forts were possessed, the mint taken, and revenue vessels seized. A vessel of tiie United States, carrying supplies to a garrison, was tired on, and turned back. Senators from six States withdrew, announcing that the government was dissolved, and that they were going home and would rcsi't the enforcement of tiie laws of tiie United States within their States. During the same winter, representative from six or seven Southern States metat Montgom ery, Alabama, and established a provisional fovernment hostile to the government of the Inited States. All this was done, be it remembered, before the 4th day of March, and before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. And yet there are those who say this is an abolition war. Who did it? Who was in pow er? James Buchanan, placed there by the democratic party. Every man iu office was a democrat. Every department of the govern ment was under democratic rule, and yet they say that all this was brought about by the lte publicau party. What had it done? it was not in power. If Buchanan didn’t connive with the conspirators, he saw them. True, he had sent a message to Congress saying that se cession was wrong and unconstitutional, but he saw no way to prevent it. He let them yo on, as he did not want to oflend the traitors w ho were seizing the property of the govern ment. On the 4th day of March Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. When some are disposed to complain that immediate and decided steps were not taken, they seem to forget tiie condi tion of affairs President Lincoln had nothing to do with. The navy yard in Washington was under the control of Buchanan, not James, who since commanded tiie reliel vessel Merri mac. rhe chief of police in the capital was a traitor. Every department was filled with traitors. I lie army was scattered and the na vy sent to far ofl quarters. The President knew not who to trust. What could he do He couldn't know the navy commander—a traitor. It took some time to know who were loyal and who were false. Shortly afterwards, the rebels opened their guns on Fort Sumter. Then the President ap pealed to the nation and it responded. Con gress convened in special session in July, and voted all the men and money that were want ed. He asked lor 300/KX) men, and Congress voted 500,000, and raised all the money neces sary. The people responded. The whole pow er was placed in the. president's hands to put down the rebellion. But at that time wo had not got over the policy of the last days of Buchanan—do noth j iug to offend the rebels. At that time it was thought that we would lose the I (order States, if decided measures were adopted. The Vir ginia Couventioii was in session in May, at Richmond, and it was claimed that a majority of the members were elected by the L'nion men. If coercion were adopted It was feared we would lose Virginia. Government listened to this talk for months. Virginia and other i States went out. Aller the army was raised, and we had the means to crush out the rebellion, there was an indisposition to prosecute the war in earnest. This eatne from the opposition of men in the Border States, seconded by some in the loyal States. They thought that we must not hurt tlie rebels any more than we could help. If at tacked. we might defend ourselves, but must not destroy any property. Our policy was de fensive—building forts—and waiting for at tacks. We pursued this policy through the fall of IStil and winter, until nearly Spring, when an advance was made. Then we won glory in the West. The army moved from Cairo to Bel mont. where a hard battle was fought. There was some lighting ill South western Missouri, where the gallant Lyon fell. Then came the capture of Fort Henry, and then the great victory at Fort Donelson, where we captured an army, and got possession of Kentucky and Tenuesse. That was followed by the battle of Shiloh, w here HI,000 men lay dead and bleed ing. We also had successes on the Atlantic, on the North Carolina coast, under the gallant Burnside, and at Fort Royal and New Orleans —glorious acts that shall hand our navy down to history. I have referred to these, so tiiat we may give proper credit. After all, ask-any man if the results t aint- up in me expeciaiiou. 111(1 we accomplish whut you expected when your son went Did you send him to war to lie in the swamps of Chicahominy and Tennessee? Ask that mother in Jackson county, whose only son joined the army, and whom shefreely gave up Tor the purpose of perpetuating to him the liberty she lias enjoyed, ask her when the pine box comes rumbling up to the door, and mark ed, “Died of fever on tile Tennessee river,” if she don’t approve the policy that set her son to work, when negroes offered their labor, and it could not be accepted. In the Shenandoah Valley we purchased hay and paid $J0 per ton to rebels, and other arlieles in proportion. Everything in Tenn essee was under the same policy. When we took Memphis the rebels obtained three or four prices. Plantations near Nashville, not occu pied by a single white person, and entirely cultivated by blacks, the owners being in the reliel army, were protected by our soldiers,— who stood guard £>ver these plantations and men raising cotton, the proceeds to go into the hand- of rebels to furnish means to flJht from. When laborers escaped they were driv en back. We didn’t meet with very great success with that policy. Some in the North thought it time to change. That’s the issue; that’s why 1 refer to history to bring before you the issue. Your Representatives in Congress thought tile time for a change of policy had eoine.— Republicans generally supported it. with some few exceptions; not many, thunk God. They soon w ent to work vigorously to initiate meas ures to bring it about. They appealed to the President, and urged that our troops lie al lowed to forage oil tile enemy, and make tv Alt on the enemy. Measures were introduced to carry out the confiscation act. That provided and made clear the right to seize their property, and defray the expenses of '.lie war. It is also di rected that every rebel’s slave should be for ever free! The law declared that wherever our array went the slaves of rebels were free! Now, some Democrats claim to lie, par ei cetlenee, friends of the Constitution and laws, and the enforcement of the laws. ,So am I. Will they go with us? In the greater part of my State, of those who have come back from the army, 1 have not met one who has said lie was in favor of guarding rebel property, and I've seen a great many. I met, travelling, a captain trom Northern Alabama, who caine home to recruit for his regiment, who told me that the last tiling he did was to detail a guard of four for that purpose. How about this other policy If you con duct the war on the old principle you w ill light eternally. You support the means of feeding them. They are all against you. You are now, or have been, purchasing and paying for cotton la-longing to tin- rebels. What chance has a Union man there? Take two in Mem phis, for instance: One was disposed to he loyal, and the other a rebel. The loyal man lias everything taken from him, and barely es capes with Ids life. Tlie rebel w as protected reliel army, and by us. Tbe game was, .1 win; tails, you lose.” He won.— Could you expect any Union men in the South under such practices? This confiscation act saved Maryland; when the rebels received no recruits it surprised them and us. Why? The confiscation act was like a sword hanging over them if they joined. When the reliel army would lie driv en out, everything w ould be gone. That saved us, and disappointed them. In Kentucky, their recruits will lie few, ex cept those taken by the conscription act. They nmy force a great mauy in their ranks, but few will join voluntarily. Had such a law been enacted in the begin ning, w e would have Imd tens of thousands of Union men in the South, where we now have not one. Every one found it their interest to join ill the rebellion until Ibis law was passed. This was done by the Republicans to put down the rela llion. There are Democrats ,iu favor of this, while others cry out against tlie pun-uuiiauon. turn i mean me great uento eratic parly, for hundreds and thousands who belonged to it volunteered and sacrificed their blood, and are true patriots. I speak only of those ho oppose these efficient means. I know there are those who say confiscation is uncouslitutiomffi The natural instincts of man teach idin mat. this cannot be so. This government lias the means of maintaining it self. Our fathers understood this; the grant of power is clear. Congress lias the power to declare war, raise an army and navy, call out the militia to suppress insurrection, and “make all the necessary laws.” Also to make rules for capture on land and water. YPt, when we get an army, we have got to light in peace.— Tlie constitution meant what it said, when it gave power to put down insurrection. Itshould be put down with the bayonet, and ball, and cannon, to crush it out and suppress it, be cause tin; courts were incompetent and civil law overborne. This is why this power was given and Congress clothed with il. The idea is quoted that the constitution is to protect rebel property and lile. It says that no man shall be deprived of his life, liberty and prop erty without due process of law. This was quoted by the apologists of secession, to pre vent tile passage of the eonliscation net. If that is carried out effectually, it puts the rebel property and their lile side by side. It would have been equally as absurd for these men to have empaneled a jury at Shiloh, to see I whether lieauregurd should be condemned.— Now bow absurd it would be toempane! a jury to determine whether we should take their lives, it is a rule of war that a nation may take any means to accomplish the end in view, i Our object is to reduce them to obey the con stitution and laws. We will take their prop j erty, and lives, and negroes, and make their lands waste and a desolation, hut that they shall submit. it is claimed that these measures will unite them against us* They hmee been united, and have plotted thin thing fur yearn. It is idle to attempt to win them hack by conciliation they will never submit until they are thor oughly whipped. Another measure was proposed in Congress —a proposition was brought in requiring every man elected to office to take an oath that he had never been ill I lie service of the rebels.— Wasn’t that reasonable Hadn't we bad en ough of Floyd Oo. Every one who wa opposed to the radicals,” opposed this meai ure. I mean the leaders ol the men who ea themselves par excellence “Union” patriot The Demoerats'all voted against it, as again! the confiscation’act. Another measure directing the President t require our generals to forage on the enem; was introduced. This was voted against b them. Now this is the issue. If you trace this thin back you will find the gentlemen who are bu sy getting up an organization known as th Union party, or no-party party, are all oppose to those efficient measures. They claim cor flscation is unconstitutional. The re bels elon set up this plea, beet the ir advocates here ele They don’t say it is unconstitutional; the trample the constitution under foot and dt spise it, but they have got advocates here wh attempt to show that the confiscation act i unconstitutional. 1 learned from Gen. C urtis, who was in corn mand at Pea Ilidge and of the Southwest,tin Pillow’s negroes came within his lines, and li was about to free them when lie got word froi Pillow that his case did not come within th act. There never was a more impudent thin since the time the devil took our Saviour upo the mountains, and offered him all before hi1 if he would fall down and worship him. Will! more impudent thing than for Pillow to elair that he didn’t come within the law? It is th most impudent, except what I saw in the Ch cago Times of a meeting held at Frankfori Ky., now occupied by the rebels, denouncin the proclamation of the President. A meeting of secessionists was held i Frankfort and the proclamation denouncer The paper then introduces an argument t show that the president ought not to have h sued it. and the writer hopes he will witlidrai j it. I don’t doubt it. Can you imagine any thing more superlatively Impudent? 1 don’t make auy charges against the Dem oeratic party, but there is scarcely one ma sent to Congress by the votes of Democrat that don.t vote against confiscation, requirin officers to take the oath, foraging on the enemy etc. N'ow if you are in favor of carrying on th war as it was tue first twelve months, the you will have an eternal war. The Kepubli cans are now for a new policy—the presiden is for it. He at first thought mild measure best. If you will read that proclamation yo will see that he orders his generals every wher to enforce the provisions of the contfocatio act which declare the property of rebels con flscated and their slaves free. I know Mr. Lincoln well. lie is as much i favor of putting down this rebellion as you o I. He has had difficulties to contend wit that none know of. He entered upon his du ties under great embarrassments. He has not found out all. He was beset by border st&t men w ho claimed to he Unionists, w ho sai that if he would give time, they would brin Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia back. The said, “Give us something to stand upon s that we can tell them that you ain’t going t harm those who fight, and we will try and wi thcjjn back by kindness.” The president lb tened, as these men had great influence Kentucky then occupied neutral ground. 1 the government had been in position—had a army raised, this neutrality ought not to hav been borne an hour; but it had to be born with for a time. But that has been done awa with. How do these gentlemen who oppose thes measures propose to act How do they pro jHise to put down the rebellion? Can you pu it down in any other way? If, Democrat* you !>e in earnest in wanting tlu*|rebeinon pu down, come with us and help us carryout thi policy. Otherwise, you go aga:nst the gov eminent. If you paralyze the governmeni you are aiding the rebellion. That is the issw in this and all other loyal States. It is betwee: those who are in favor of confiscating the pro perty of rebels and those who are in favor c protecting it; between those who are fora aggressive warfare and those who are for ade fenaive warfare; fjettreen those who trill tak the property ttf the rebels to jnvj the expense i of the war, ami those who are in facor o protectin'! their property ami payiny thel taxes. Which can you take? We’ve iuaugu rated this policy, and called out more of a i army. Our army was largely reduced b 1 inaction, and we bate sent a new one of 6CM 000—large enough to crush the enemy, if le against them this fall. We have a larger arm than any general can manage, and now we in sist that the rebellion shall be crushed out. T be prosecuted efficiently, we must destroy th cause before it can lie put down. 1 am glad i turns that way. It would l»e as absurd to at tempt to put it down without removing th cause from the body politic, as for a doctor t turned traitor, if you can Not one can lx* found. They are all loyal an true to the flag and the constitution. Yoi can find a great many democrats, who were i oflice, who are now in the rebel army. 1) you ever find a republican there? One ha! of the people are republicans, and not on against the government. The constitution must bo preserved. Th contest isn’t simply whether the rebellio shall lx; put down, but the experiment of con *titutional liberty is on trial. There never wa a more favorable opportunity by which to mak it perpetual than here in the United State; our liberties and your children’s depend upo this contest between freedom and slavery. II the South is successful she will have government composed of an aristocracy slaveholders, whose corner stone will lx* sli very. If we succeed, we will get rid of th only thing that has ever disturbed our peact Now, fellow citizens, I have detained you n long as I intended, to show you that no re publican caused this war, but that it wa brought about by the plans of those who hat charge of the government. I have tried t show you that we have tried to carry on thi iii n iiigiiui; rur a year wu ui not forage on the enemy, but we proteete slavery. We did not accomplish much wit tliis policy, while thousands have fallen in ba tie. That such policy ought to be abandone is clear. So thought Congress. Conflscatio was one of the measures to which I referre as intended to put it down. The presiden acting in harmony with government, lias b sued his proclamation. Will you sustain thi new policy Those for it*should sustain th men, representative and members who inaiit urated it. You democrats who sustain th policy of the government, not because it is rt publican, but because it is the govcrnnien don’t strengthen the hands of these traitot because you have acted with them before. Yo know they are vile traitors. Many of the deir ocratic party in Illinois are in the army of til Union, and I presume so here. They light a bravely and shed their blood ;ls freely as an; III regard to those, I say tor myself, such democrat is my brother. J.
