Ho told us in the speech upon the ame Compromise in 1G5, thai if the Union were dissolved, dissolution ard war were identical. Mr. President, 1 have said, what I solemnly believe, that dissolution of this Union and war a e identical and inevitable; and they are convertable terms; and such a war as it would be, following a dissolution of the Union! it, we may search the pages of history, and none so ferocious, so bloody, so impjicable, so exterminatinir not even in th.e wars of Greece, including those of th.e Commoners of England and the revolution i 1 Franco none, none of them at all would rage with such violence, or be characterized with such bloodshed and cnormi.ies as would the war which must succeed if that event over happens, the dissolution of the Union. And lvhat would be its termination? Standing arl . . , . . .'" i mies, ana navies, to an c.v.etii streichln"" the revenues of each portion of tho dissev ered members, votild take place. An ex terminating war would follow not, sir, a war of two or ihre years' duration, but a war of interminable duration and oxter initiating wars would ensue, until after the struggles and exhaustion of both parties, .some Philip or A'exander, some Ctesar or Napoleon, would arise and cut tl c Gordian knot, and solve the pixblem of ihe capacity of man for self-government, and crush the liberies of both the several portions of this common empro. Can you doubt it? Look at all history consult her pages, ancient or modern look at human nature; look at the contest iu which vou would be engaged in the supposition of war following upon the dissolution of tlie Union, such as I have sijo-g. sted; and I ask you if it is possible for you to doubt that tho linal disposition of the whole would be some despot treading down the liberties of the people the linal result would be ihe extinction of this l ist glorious light which is leading all mankind, who arc gazing upon it, in the hope and anxious expectation that the liberty which prevails here will sooner or, later bo dillutjed throughout tho winde of the civilized world. Sir, you can Ihditlv contemplate those, consequences? Can you yield yourself to tho tyranny of passion, amid dangers which I have depicted in colors fir too tame of what the result would be if lhat direful event to hieb I hnv referred should nr ,..9 c:.. r implore gentlemen, I abjure them from ihe I SmiiIi or the Nor'h, by all that thov hold dear in ibis world by all their loveflibei ty by all their vci.eration for their ancestors; by all their regard for posteiity hy all their gratitude to Him who has be-
