Mr. HISE. Mr. Speaker, in the course of policy indicated by all the atrocious and monstrous measures which have been brought forward here, the dominant majority in this body have indicated a deep seated consciousness that there can be no State in the Union without its representatives in Congress; that there can be no State unless that State has its proportionate share of representation on this floor. Hence, while the majority in this Congress exclude from representation ten States, comprising a population of 12 or 15 millions, they at o same time propose to institute over those States a most oppressive government, to justify which they must main tain, as they do, that those States are out of the Union, that they are not States of the Union If they are not States in the Union, then I do not think you can govern them at all. You have no right to do it. If they are kept out of the Union by any means whatever, then I deny the authority of the States in the Union under this Constitution of Government to govern them at all. They would have the same ground now, at least of remonstrance, protest and resistance, that we had when we ociated our independence at the risk of a bloody struggle with the enormous power of the government of GreatBritain. You deny them now representation upon this floor, which was then denied to our fathers by the British government., Did it justify our forefathers, the people who inhabited these 13 British colonies, in shaking off British domination coming from under the British yoke, an making that war with GreatBritain you may call it revolution, then it was did it justify them upon the ground of right and principle? Where now is the American citizen who will not say the DeclarIndep was not justified, that the union of the colonists to establish that independence was not justified and rightful in jo These gentlemen are mighty sticklers for the DeclarIndep and the principles therein contained; and that Declaration contains the principle in substance that the people have the right to alter, remodel, and abolish their institutions of government at discretion, and that whenever in the progress of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, but a decent respect for the opinion of mankind would seem to require they should make a declaration of the causes that led them to that point. So we did in reference to GreatBritain. We made a declaration of the causes which led to the Revolution, and one of the main causes was that these Colonies had been denied all representation. It is true that Government was oppressive. It is true our people were taken abroad and tried in British courts. It is true American commerce was taxed by acts of the British Parliament. They rose up against the oppress ive government that was attempted to be riveted upon them by the British Government. Qp pressive government, misrule, and revolution will follow every people who are denied representation in the body that attempts to govern them. Witness what we are doing, witness what we have done, and then see whether or not the principle of representation being aban doned or surrendered or taken away the rule still held over the people unrepresented will not result in unjust, sectional, oppressive, and arbit governments.
