About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1884 Excerpt: ... t: al quiet; for times of degeneracy and times of lustrous virtue; for " pi ping times of peace."and dark times of "grim-yisaged war." And the best evidence of its soundness is that it is recognized in the election laws of every State in the Union, and has been from the very birth-hour of the Union to this bleeding hour of civil strife. Now, I ask my clear-headed friend from Massachusetts why he should not apply this philosophical reasoning of the Congress of 1826 to my constituents and their humble Representative? Is there not a peculiar, and even touching, applicability to their case? Sir. it looks to me as if the committee of the 19th Congress had seen far down the vista of time, aijd, glancing with prophetic ken at the dark scenes of this unhappy rebellion, had fixed up (if I may so speak) a set ojmaxims for our guidance in the very case before us. Is not the " elective privilege as important" to my constituents as to any other people? Have they not. like yours, Mr. Speaker, and those of other Delegates here, need for a Representative? Have they no rights to be shielded, no interests to be watched after? Sir, when the people of my district Went to the polls, were they not there "in the exercise of their constitutional rights?" And did they not "go througrh with the process of the election according to the prescribed rules?" The committee admit all this. Why, then, (to apply the just sentiment of the committee of the Nineteenth Congress, ) 'should they be deprived of the advantages accruing'therefrom?" And then, if you say that the votes of those loyal men who could go and did go to the polls shall go for nothing, do you not disfranchise all the loyal men of the district 'of representation for a long period of time"--at.least until 'this cruel war is over?...
