Mr. WADE. Iam very frank to say that when gentlemen tell us that if we persist here with all the physical power the Almighty has put into our hands we may probably prevail, it is not an argument against my staying here, standing by the Constitution, standing by these powers that the Constitution has armed me with, and which I have no right or authorityto give up. No Senator on this floor has any right to surrender the authority with which we are clothed. The momenta President can rise and interpose his interference with aquestion purely congressional and legislative, your Constitution is not worth the paperupon which it is written. That is the reason that I urge, and beg of my friends on this floor to take every advantage that the Almighty has put into your hands to maintain, uphold, and sustain that Constitution that we have sworn we will support. Sir, a little physical inconvenience here will not lead me to surrender that power which the Constitution has armed me wit; and the people of the State that I represent would look upon me with scorn and contempt if I should surrender it on questions like this. What are these States that the President wishes to get in here? It is suggested to me that this question has nothing to do with that. I say this bill does have something to do even with that. The issue the President has made with Congress, the quarrel he has picked with Congress from the very commencement, is nothing more or less than on the question of recpgntzing and permittin rebels to occupy their old places on this {floor for the utter destruction of the Government in my judgment and belief. What power has he to do it? What is the condition of these States that he says shall be represented here? Do you know an thin of their constitutions? Vere they may c by the people of those States, or are they mere creatures of military power, made over the heads of the people who have I never asked you yet to recognize a single one of them? No, sir, the people of these States, with the exception of one single State, have never had the right, have never had the opportunity to pass upon the constitutions that on are asked to admit here as legitimate. Ihey were not submitted to the people, but it was dictated from the Executive ansion what provisions they should contain. I or red this matter all over, last year, in the case of the apIication of Louisiana, and my mind has not changednpon the subject. It is not a presidentialquestion. I argued then as zealously against Mr. Lincolns interposition as I care not who your President may he, he is not to be a despot, and it is time that the American people should know and feel that no one man may c this great Government. of ours, and, thank God, no one man can destroy it. Sir, if there is anyone question about which the American people are unanimous, it is against this one man power these monarchical attempts of your Presidents to beat down every other Dept of the Government and set up their own will as supreme over all. Sir, it will not be done. with my consent, on this floor by any compromise, by any concession, and not even by the lea of comity that is now paraded before us. lilor one I am willing to stay here all night and all day tomorrow, and as long as my hysieal powers can hold out, in order to ving icate the great principle of constitutional law that Iam intrnsted with by the people whom I represent; and nothing shall ta c it out of my and s except it is the power of majorities here. Neve with my consent, will I yield it.
