WHOLE NO. 955. Great Speech of Andy Johnson, Of TMSrSHK, made In ttse Senate mt the united Slates. Dec. 18ttt and u eGO. A UNION SPEECHpa0M A SOUTHERN DEMOCTIU SENATOIi. ; The m-' weignty apeech made in lh"gTess of the United SJtste d iring "The present sessioo, was that by Senator And v Johnson, of Tennessee, oa Tuesday and Wednesday of last week . This speech will have its place in the history of the vonty, mad if Andy - Johnson political life should be cut short by it, as is possiblu, he will have made an honorable record, of which his children and his country will hare reasoe to be proud. Thee are lb times that lest politicians, and Andy Johnson, of Tennessee, gives forth noun certain sound . but the full toned ring of manhood, and patriotism. His speech is

of prodifiona length, and crowded with extracts from document. Published com plete, it would fill about three pages o' oar paper, lie argued the "Right of Secession" at great leogth, and came to the

conclusion that there was o noch riuh', I

and thst there w no powe- emfered to coerce a State, but that there i pow

er to operate open individuals in the S:ae Be did not think it necessary, in order to preserve the Union, for Congress to have power to coerce a State all that was nee cssary waa for the Government to hare

the power to execute and carry out all tl e

powers conferred upon it by the Constitu

tion, whether they apply to the State or

otherwise. He aaya : This, I think, the Government clearly bas the cower to do; and so lone asth. Government executes all the laws ia ood auk, denying the right of a State coastitioaallv to secede, so long is the State in i n the Union, and aubject to all the provisions of the Constitution and the law Fassed in conformity with it. t is not an invasion of a State for the Federal Government to execute its Iswa;

to take eare of it public property, and to eiiforce the collection of its revenue; bit if. in the execution ot the law; if, in the. enforcement of the Constitution, it meetwitb ranis' ance, it is the duty of the Government, and it hs the anthoiity, to pu down reitaiice, and effecteal.y to tx? cnte the lawn as contemplated by the Coosti ution of the country. Mr. Johnson. 'quotes, largely and mo-i pertinently fron the fathers of the Retch lie on these points.' From Jefferson thus: Mr. Jefferson, in his letter to Col. Monroe, dated Parts, August 11, 1786, speak thus : - There never will be rueoey in the Tres ury Tin til the Confederacy shows its teeth The State roust seo the red; perhaps n mutt be felt by some one of them. Ian persuaded all of them would rejoice to se every one obliged to furnish its contributions. It i not the difficulty of furnishing them which beggars the Treasury, bu the fear that ethers will not furnish amuch. Every rational citizen must wist to see an effective instrument of coercioi and should ftsr to it on any other elt mam than the, water,". Mr. Johnson quoted from Madison, Mar shall. Jackson and Webster, and finallt

from Washington. He remarked aftei baring fortified the steps of his argument with history: "Hence in traveling along thrmgli th instrument, we fiud how the Governmen, ia created, how it ia to be perpetuated , anr bow it may be enlarged in reference to Um number of States con-tituiing the Con frdeiact; but do we find any provision fot windug it op except on that inherent prii. ciple that it may be wound up by th states not by a Stale but by the Stttethat spoke it tato existence, and by m other means."

Mr Johnson saya on this head: - The Constitution baa been formed; it ha been n a Is ftiU: ; or in other word means have been provided by which it cat be made perfect. It was intended to bt mdf perpetual in reference to lheexc tinn f ihe law under it. What do wh fir,.

Mr Jo1" boo quoted from the annual met sst of Wahin'on, In which he gave a hitory of the -Whisky Rebellion. In his m.axff Washirtrtnn said:

undertake to drive the Federal Courts out

of that State, yet the Federal Government has the right to hold thee courts there. She may attempt to exclude the mails, yet the Federal Government baa the right to

establish post offices and post roads and to carry the mails there. She an ay resist the

SOU TBI CaEOLIKa's DIE Of CBSSIOIf. - Mr. Johnson read the deed of eessien by South Carolina to the General 0iVernmut of thelaad on which the forts of Chsrl aton are erected. Mr. Johnson aaid: Here is a clesr deed of cession. The Federal Government has complied with all he conditions, and ' ha, in its own riht. the hand on which these f-trta are construeed. The conditions of the cession hare been complied with; aacl the Government has had possession from that period to the present time. There are its forts; there is its arsenals; there are its stock yards; there U the property of the Government; and now, under the Constitution, and under the laws ia pursuance thereof, has South Carolina the authority and the ruht to expl the Federal Government from its own property that has leen given to her by her own act. snd of which it is in p.-sseiion? By restating execution of the laws; Ky attempting to dispossess the Fed ral Government, does she not put herself in the wrong? Does she not violate the laws of the Untied täte? Does she not violate the Con-slits 1 tton? Does she not put herself, within the mesamg and purview of the Cons itoiion, ii the attitude of levying war abates-. Iba United State? The Censtimtiou defi e nd declares what is treaton. Let u tat sbout things by their r'gbl name-i. I know that some hotspur vr madcap may declare ih st these are not tiroes fr a government of law; that we are ia a revolution. I know that Patrick Hrsry once said, "If this be irea job make the most of it." If anyihini; an be treason in the ecop-t and purviaw of he Constitution, is Bot levying wr upo i he United States treat hi? 1 not an at en. pi to tske its property treason? Is not n attempt to expel lis soldier ireao-.? la not an attempt to resiil the c -llectioa of he revenue, or 'otXfelyo i tnsiU. or to r to arive yoiyr courts irom herbor r, t a on? Are not the e powers cleirly c m

ferred in the Constitution on the F-d al viovernment to be exi-rci-ed? Whatitp, when,Iakin the cams of the Const tuton in the mesiing of the term ax thee flned? It is iti-ason, and nothing hut reason; and if one State, upon tt own volition, can go out of this Confederacy

without regard to the cüvet it is In have ipon the remaining parties to the compact, hat is your Government worth? wha. will ii come to? and in what will it end? It is no Government at all upon such a construe ion.. WHAT rati WI PIB.MIT A 8TAT1 TO DO?

Snppoe this doctrine to be true, Mr. PresMeut that a State can withdraw from his Confederacy and suppose Ssuth Croina bas seceded, asd is now out of the Cod'esleracy; io what an altitude doe the ptace bersell? There ruirht We c ire urn -itaoces under which the S'.ates ratifying the compact might tolerate the aecession of

a State, she tasirg the consequences cT the set. But there ruiuhl be other cirrunstsn cea under which the S ales cualJ net allow one to secede. Why do I say so? Some

tippose and it is a well-founded suppo--uion that by the secession of a State, a'l ne remaining S alts might be involved in iatrius ennseqa-Dre't.

not In her power to protect the citiaens that were the-e. It waa a dead limb, paralyaed, lifeless. The Federal Government came alonx as a kind of physician, saying, "We will take this dead limb from your body and Titaiiis it, by giving protection to the people, and incorporating it into a territo rial government, and in addition to that wo will Jive you $10,00 000, and you may retain your own public lands," and the other SiV were tax-d in common to pay the $10.000.000. Now, arier all this ia done, Texas, forooth, up-in her own volition, i t-i aiy, "I will walk out of this Union I" Were there no other partial to that compact! We are told tin com pact is reciprocal. Did we take io California, did we lake in Texas, just to benefit

them 7 No; but to add to this great fami

ly of States; and it is apparent, from the

fact of theircofning in. thai the compact is

reciprocal; and having entered into the

compact, they have no right to withdraw

acquire the tree . navigation of tin riVr-r from Franc. ; we will j.i out if we think proper, and consulate an iniependem Power, and hid' drfitiwe t- the other

States." It ia an absurdity; it is a contrs

diction; it is illogicil; itt not ueduciblo from the structure of ths Governmtni it

self.

a - e at :. 8 sensitive h'ave been the people of mv

State upon the free navigation of that river, (Mississippi) that as fr back as

796, now aixty four yean aeoia their

bill of ritrhts, before they passed under the

juridiction of the United Slates, they de

clared:

"That an equal participation of the

free navigation ef the Mississippi is one of

the iuberent richla of the Citizens of this

State; it cannot, therefore, be concedod to

any prince, potentate. Power, person, or persons whstever."

I bis ebows tne eni-nato that the Dconle

and now we are told, if Louisiana does go

out, it, is nut her intenti" a: this t me to

tax the people above. Who can te.l ht may be the intention of Louisiana here

after? Are we willing to place the rich's

of our citiseaa, are we willing io place the trsvt.1 and commerce of oureni n,'at the .li-creticn of any Power outaidt ot thi Government? I will uul; 1 lj not rare whether the other Power be Louisiana or the moon.

FLORIDA. Mr. Johnson gave the history of the purchase of Florida, and the expenditures of ihe Government in driving out Ihe Indians, and remarked: We paid the sum of $25,000,000 to get the Seminole out of the swamps, so that the Territory could be inhabited by white men. Wo paid tor it, we took possession of it; and I remember, when I was io the other House, and Florida was knocking at the dor for ad iiiaion, how extremely anx

ious her then able Delegate was to be ad raiticJ. He now aits before me, Mr. Yo-r lee I remember how important he thought it was then to cume under the protecting wing of tie United States K one of the stars of our Confederacy. But now, the Territory is pa'd for, England is driv etvout, $t5,000.000 have been expended; and they want no longer the protection of this Government, but will go out without toufcuiting the other S'.ate. without reference to the effect upon the remaining rattie to ihe contract. Where will ahe go? Will fehe attach herself to Spain ajain ? Will she pass back under the jur;aJictien of ihe St-minoles? After having bt en nurtured atd protected and fos

gard to them, ia the to be allowed, at her own Volition, to wr.hdraw from the Union? I say she has no constitutional right to do it; and when she doe it, it is an act of aggression. If she succeeds, it will only be a cucreosful revolution. If the des not

Mr. President, I have spoken of the possibility of a Slate standing in the position of South Carolina making alliances with a foreign Power. What da we see now ? Ex Governor Manning,' of that State, in a ptech mado not lon einco at Columbia, made theso declarations : 'Cotton is king, and would enable us in peace to rule the nations of the world, or successfully to encounter them in war.The millions in France and England engaged in its manufacture, are an effectual guarantee of the friendship of those nations. If ueec.sary, their armies would aland to I

she will become a dependent of Great Brit

of France? hat is the doctrine of Mr

Buchanan and Mr. Mason and Soule? If

Cuba is to pass into the hands of an un

friendly Power; or any rower inimical to the Unite 1 Stales, we have a right to seize and to hold her. Wh;t is the difference

between the two rases?

If South Carolina it nulside of the Con

BTATE4 BV IBB OULV STATES. Mr. Johnson read extracts from the tne

sitije of Governors and the fire-eetiu Congressmen from the Gulf States showing their determination to drag the Border States into revolution. He aaid:

Now, our siater, without consulting' her

sisters, without caring for their interest or their consent, says that she will move for

ward; that she will destroy the Govern

ment ui.der which we have lived, and that

hereafter, when she forms a Government

or a Constitution, unless the border States come in, she will past lawa prohibiting the importation of ataves into her State from those States, and obstruct the slave trad-j

arooug the State, and throw the institution back upon the border States, so that they will be compelled to emancipate their

slaves upon the principle laid down by the Abolition party. That is the rod held

over nsl

I tell our sifters in the South that so far

as Tenuese is cincmpd, she will not be dragged into a southern or any other con

federacy until she lias Urn to consiJer;

at d then she will no wheu she believes it

t. b her interest, and not before.- I tell our northern friends, who are resisting the execution of the laws m ide ia conformity

with the (Jouslituiian. that we will not he

driven on the other hand into their con

federacy, and we will not go into it unless

it suits us, and they give us such guarantees as we deem right and proper. We say to you of the South, we are not to bo fright ened and coerced. Ob, when one talks about coercing a State, how madening and insul'ing to tne Slate; but whe i you want to bring the other St es to forms, tow easy to point eut a means bj Wb ch to coerce them! But, sir, we do uot iutend to be coerced.. We are told that certain Slates will go out and tear this accursed Constitution in tn fragments, and lra; the pillars ef this nighty edifice down upon us, and involve us all in one cuifnon ruin. Will the bor der States submit to such a threat? tso. If

they do not come into the movement, the pillars of this stupendous fabric of human freedom and greatness and goodness are to be pulled down, and all will be involved in one common ruin. Such is the threatening language used. "Tea shall come into our confederacy, er we will coerce you to the emancipation of your slaves." That is ths language which i held toward us. DISUMOX IS ABOLITION. There are many ideas afloat about this threatened d'noln:ion, and it is time to

6peak out. The question ames in reference to the protection and reerva ioti of

this inetitutton or lavery, whether dissolution i a temedy or will give to it protection. I avow here, to-day, that if I were aa Aho!i'ionit, and wanted to accomplish

the overthrow and abolition of the lustitu

succeed she must take the penalties and tion of slavery in the -oolh-rn Slates, the

terrors of the law. I first step that I would take would be to

break the bonds of this Union, and diinlr this Oovernment. I helievethe eon

Has the Federal Government lYiled to

comply with, and to carry out, the obligation it owes to South Carolina? In what has the Federal Government failed? In what has it neglected tho interests of South Carolina? What law has it undertaken to enforce upon

South Carolina that is unconstitutional and oppressive? If there were grievances, Mr. Johnson said they should b? specially stated. XriK POSITION OF TENNESSEE AND 80CTII CAROLINA COMPARED Tennessee will be found standing as firm and unyielding in her demands

for those guaremees in the way a State should stand, as any other stite in this Confederacy. She is not quite so belligerent now. She is not making quite so much noise. She is not as blustering as Sempronius was in
