ON THE STATE OP THE UillON. SrEECir of IIox. M. A. O. Packard of Marshall amd Starke Counties Delivfred ix THE HoUiS OF KkPRCSCNTAIIVL'S, FtB. 1ST. 15T61. tErORTCD BV A. DRAHEtt. ESQ. Mr. SrEAKER : I doubtless share in the common feeling of all upon this floor, when I my that ths importance cf th aubj?ct estima thcto citement oiifl, more especially one as youn, and experienced in public nie as myself, to attetnpt to r.avigato the troubled waters. Scylla U upoa one silg and ChatybJU on the other. But the spirit that wavers aud filters in the hour of peril that shrinks from re - sponsibili'y when dangers and responsi - bilitics press around, i.s unworthy of a frae man, therefore, whether i err or not, I have an honest heart and purpose in tlm matter, and, through the indulgence of this House, I inteud to givo uttteianca thereto. Th history of our country for r.earlj eighty-four years has been a proud one her peuury ha become opulence, her feebleness mighty povrer--her scanty commerce the hop? of the world, and her fur small colonies, and ocean-bouu Jed empire. But ia the midst of all thii nrosporitv, and in the full enjoyments of all th.o piivilegs of our blessed free govern men', thor have been thosa among us, wlio, to gr 'iity au" unworthy puiit:cal ambiiioti, and a narrow, scltish prtjudicö, liavo gone aboiii our fuir hind sowing the seeds cf discord and civil sirifi. Tiie cioud, at first wa3 no larger than that feen by Eiijah'b servant troin th.o mountain t0(,-of the size of a man's hand but it waxed hr-zer and larger, it deonened and dnrketid, and norr overshadows, like a tert'ble pall, a broken ana I tear a ruined country. I advert to thii early history of oar troubles, that, rc m-y rind, if possible, their bc-arco and center. Tii

Rut, in pointing out the cause, or causes, of the Giffi.'tilti'.M thai ?nr.- vrts upon . us. U is i. oi, my purp'i-j to i-ngag-. in a to foil ow, wh;o tl;t3 lead, who valid iieal diisentions, and savo the noblest go ernrr.ent tha Italic of hcaveri ever hone upon. We are accoitomed to hear, f ir, of the Cnion bein dissolved by the ftoce.ssion of couth Laiohna; but in my opinion, ihe Union was dissolved lonir before Souili C trolina passed her ordinance of secession. 1 dn't mean, of cour.se, that thero was anv over: political dissolution, but that the mutual lespect, and fraternal filno;, which ehould unite the people of a coniraoti country, and which constitute the very basis ot tho Union, were gons. What is thi3 Union but a rat politic-a'J.-ons itut'on.v. iio?f strength nndperreuiity rests on the i:.tllig'.;t;ce, hiir;n..ny ami .i:i'.o;kioftfi of the pop:o it t:ovt-ro ? It nny be said that I rest our government on a very feeble tenure ; I answer to this, that whether feeble or not, 1 rest it on the foumhrion of all '.'onstitutio:nl and ijik'ra! governments. There is one other kind of jjovermient, that of slavehsh fear, or, iu other words, a military despotism. If, then, our Union bo such ad I have named, whenever that mutual affection, and inspect of tha people conipoain tie several States were destroyed, the Union was virtually dissolved. Th fathers cf the Republic recognizing the same principle, were always found warning the people, as they loved their country, to guard against sectional strife, and animosity. Joshua R. Giddinga never uttered a greater Republican truth, than when he. slid that bel.veen no two foreign nations on the face of the earth was thrre greater enmity and hatred, than between the Notthern and Southern States. Of the Nurtlmrn State, ho meant, of coui't'e, only sympathized with the Rr publican party, for it would not be possible to accuse Democrats of enmiiv lo tho Houth, whr have always been held .j to public dtstation for 'fawn;ng, as it has bseti o btautifjlly expressed, 'at the fcot of Slavoocracy. This hatred, so rancorous and deep-seated, speedily assumod a political form at th-3 North, shaped its policy of aggression upon the institutions of tho South, and at onco brought into requisition all the agncios and influences which ambitious and cunning men could devise to raise thomstlvei into power. With a zeal worthy of a better ':ausa, they pressed on, gathering wave after wave of strength for it ia a lamentable fact that tho masses .ire ofte ner led by prejudice and passion, than reason -until they hnvo finaly risen to the federal control. Tho farewell words of the noble Father of his country, warning Rist countrymen against tho firrnation of parties by geographical lines, went unheeded, and n sectional President, pledged by every thUgHlion f party and principle to invade tht right of the South, and destroy that equality of the States by which aloDe the Union tan be preserved, i raited to tho lYsi Jency. I it possible to expect a Union of those Sfates under these circumstances, without the South hav guarantees an( assui ranees that their rights will be preserved ? You might almost as soon expect the stars to weep in their eoursae, and this earth to perform her diural revolutions without the power f gratitetion. This lew of lf-

M CT preservation is a strong law, and vrh?n men aro forced to act under its dictation, I am arcr.ra tlm they fire not always gttided by wisdom and discretion.

The Cons'itotion is antiulled in on-3 of its sacred provisions ; the laws of C'ongres3 piotccting slavery are tlisregardcd and broken ; the Southern t.atfi are refused nay shara or intei i'-st in tho Torriiori.3 of tho United States, wliieh were purchased by the Ci-mmon blood and tieasury cf the hind ; Their pr&pctty is stolen away and they arc not allowed to uukrt it ; they are refiiaed the poor hospitality of passing through a fcistr Stale with their servants, to wait, itriay be upoa tlu.ir Rick ai.d helpless wives and children ; their Slates are invaded by lawless bands to oiitico away their property, and 1 incite slaw-.i to rebellion &nd crime ; thy .are "fijinatized a. iguorent, depraved r ! int .rclTtablo. wl.ilo at the s;imo time th and i hese an equal numlwr of Status taken from any ofher rugi jTi of our counti y ; pious hypoci ita at the North denounco them as immoral and baibarous, and deny them the right of cliti-jt.-un f; liowbhin.

I am aware, ir, lhat I am using plain language, but it is a plain subjavt And 1 desire to treat it plainly. I know it is ssouiyiimes said that language was fran.od tho bettor lo conceal our thoughts, but I have not learned that flue art. I come hero the free representivo of a free people, and I propose to speak out boldly and fearlessly, on all subjects that come before thiw House. The Executive may thunder bis anathemas in front of the Capitol d elsewhere, but they have no terrors for me. For all thro its from that or any other fco.irt i. my language and action, in this body and out of it, shall be a fre and uutrammelled as tho wiu-Js of heaven. Hiving found what are the 60'irces of our trouble.-., tho only two pmposdiions for me to cocsiderr.ro the nature ef these troubles, and their remedv. The elements of a sectional President was to tha South the culmination of a long senea of grievances, aud tho signal for them to begin in turn in a courio equally wrong and unjustifiable. The wind had bcn uown, and tho whirlwind must be reaped. The disunion that had Jjpn bred in tho hot beds of abolitionism at the North, ha.i finally yielded its fruiie. Stato after Siato is dropping from the bright galaxy of tho Union, and unle.3 .some meastiio of adjustment ia ppeodilv agreed upon, thia session, will not have cbK 'I b?Moio there wiil not ba a Southern State iu tho conf. detacy. KcpubÜcsBi cither fail to comprehend tho iminent danger of our country, or they blindly shut their eyes to tho terrible trutii.

Rut they had at the the tide of revolution i" motion, tnd thny had to take, also, the responsibiiilv cf the consequences. The 6outh, then, is in a state of revolution. It ia no longer a question of law, but of fact which we have t deal with a great and terrible fact, The Uaion, that bad been so eacredly transmitted to us from the toil of cur fathers, it broken. The only question now with patriots is, how may we reunite theo fragmentary pjirts and save the land of Washington from irretrievable ruin. For the first t-me, almost, in the history of our country, the party opposed to Democracy aie for war. They who, in former times, when our Hag disherited and our cilizena outr-d by a brutal forign fo, were an dumb as a lamb before tho shearer have suddenly grown belligerent they look impatiently to the sword to settle thu destinies of this land, in the hot blasts of battle they euull the healin &f the nation. Preparations ar3 already biginaing for the horrid strife. Indiana conservative, Union loting Indivia, she who knows no foe but a foreign one is to be thrown into the breach. A mili'aiy bill is presvjJ upon tho Assembly more odhris, oppreMve, and damnable, than ever brutal llaynau dared to insult his Austrian serfs with. We are asked to make ourselves and our people the fdaves and minions of a military despot, to do his bidding in a sanguinary and unholy war Not while my voice cm prevent it shall ?uch an nlious m-3-ure ever disgrace our statutes. Rut 1 would 8-iy to my Republican friondi, ponder well tho terrible results of such a parI ricidal war, before you strike tho fatal Di .w. Coercion is a ierriti3 heresy, lt is the doctrine, abovo all others, that he who loves his country and his fellow men should abhor. It will never be possible to to tsfttore peace and harmony to this country, to reunite these divided states under the wgis ef the Union, by the power ot the sword. Each blow that is stuck will but divide more and more the cooteoding elements. The legal right to coere a Bute ia'othej
