ered, 330 ; letter from the Secretary of War, 330 ; bill 

 passed both Houses, 330. 



In the House, resolutions on the object and conduct 

 of the war offered and voted on, 830, 331, 832, 333, 834 ; 

 how stands the Union to-day ? 334 ; a brief period of 

 three short years has produced a fearful change in this 

 free, happy, and prosperous Government, 835 ; the real 

 friends of the Confederates are in control of this Govern- 

 ment, 335; the amnesty proclamation absurd, 836; war 

 is final, eternal separation, 330 ; the views formerly en- 

 tertained of the coercion of States, 386; the Confederate 

 States are out of the Union, occupying the position of 

 an Independent power, 337 ; they have been treated as 

 belligerents, 837; the time for the restoration of the 

 Union long since dispelled, 888; remarks of Marshal 

 Ney, 83S ; how do we stand in the eyes of the civilized 

 world to-day ? 839 ; how much better if we had parted 

 in peace with our dissatisfied sisters ! 839 ; better sacri- 

 fice nine-tenths of the territory than to destroy our re- 

 publican form of government, 839 ; the lessons of history 

 are full of warning, 840 ; a common error to suppose that 

 to part with our jurisdiction over eleven States involves 

 the destruction of the Government, 840 ; the Union is 

 lost, never to be restored, 340 ; the idea upon which this 

 war is founded coercion of States leads to despotism, 

 341 ; do not believe any peace is attainable on the basis 

 of Union and reconstruction, 841 ; reminded of a distin- 

 guished character in "Paradise Lost," 842; a Benedict 

 Arnold proposes to surrender, 342 ; the first time it has 

 been proposed to abandon the war, 842 ; the right of 

 revolution, 842; where shall the line of division be 

 drawn ? 842 ; secession is the tocsin of eternal war, 343 ; 

 coercion is the basis of every law in the universe, 843 ; 

 never attempted to override the Constitution, 843 ; reso- 

 lution to expel Alexander Long offered, 344 ; presented 

 as a matter of duty, 844 ; giving aid and encouragement 

 to the enemy, 844 ; is this bold avowal to go unrebuked? 

 843 ; its effect abroad, 845 ; not a leading member of the 

 Administration party who is not committed in doctrine, 

 if not in practice, to a separation of the States, 846 ; is 

 this member to be excluded from the House in contempt 

 of its rules, in contempt of his constitutional rights, 

 and the constitutional rights of his constituents ? 846 ; 

 there is a hop<j in this House, 346 ; war never did, and 

 never will bring your Union together in such a manner 

 as to be worth a cent, 846 ; the Union is dissolved, and 

 a gulf of blood between the sections, 846 ; I hope you 

 will never subjugate the South, 847 ; ratbr than see the 

 Southern people exterminated, I wo'uld accept recogni- 

 tion as an alternative, 347 ; motion to expel Benjamin 

 G. Harris, 84S ; lost, 34S ; motion to censure him, 84S ; 

 carried, 348 ; this war cannot restore the Union, 848 ; 

 can there be such a thing as a Conservative Republican? 

 84S; the rebels, by their insurrection and making war, 

 have forfeited all their rights as citizens of this country, 

 849 ; a time may come when a question of recognizing 

 the Southern Confederacy will have to be answered, 349 ; 

 until that time there shall be no compromise, 850 ; what 

 did Lord Chatham say f 350 ; a tribute to the power of 

 public opinion, 851 ; the issue absolute victory or abso- 

 lute ruin, 351 ; resolution modified and adopted, 351 ;
