Mr. WADE. Will conquer again! It has conquered. What do you call this tempest in a teapot now before us? Do you call that a war? Sir, it does not rise to the dignity of war fare. The attempt i. but down now in the hearts of the people. (1 knows the prover berations from al parts of the country show that the attempt to war on the radicals will not rise to respectability enough to make a defense. SLaughter] I thank God for it, for, Mr. President, in the history of mankind, so fares I have read or know it, there never has been a time when parties were so organized on radical principles of justice and right. The party with whom I act a paid touo expediency, to none of your politica policies; we dig down to the granite of eternal truth, and there wQ stand, and they who assail us haveto assail the great principles of the Almighty, for our principles are chained to His throne, and are as indestructible as the Almighty himself and do you think by your puny attempts, by false, copper head, miserable papers like this to assail us, and think to prevail over the principles which we have adopted? Iwant no warfare with anybody; but if you will make war upon such principles as we have adopted, it is the worse for you. You cannot prevail. I have been in these political warfares for a longtime; Iclaim to be an old soldier inthem. I stood in this Senate when there were not 5 men with me to support me, and then I rose here and told those who were invei hing like demons against the principles that they called abolitionism, that I was an abolitionist. today you are all abolitionists, not voluntarily, but by compulsion. [Laughter] Yes, sir, compulsory abolitionists, for who does not. go for abolition? Your President is an abolitionist; every leading man of the South is comelled to say he is an abolitionist, whether he is at heartor not. such are the trium hsof the great principles of right, justice, and liberty, which were abetted and advocated by the great party with whom I have acted and claim now to act. Talk not to me about resolutions or the veto of a bill making any successfil opposition to the measures that we have brought forward now for the purpose of advancing right, lily erty, audjustice in the South and everywhere else. You may delay the blow, but come it will, for the decree is not of us, but of the Almighty; we shall revail, and all you can do or.say will not be obe to prevail against it. I have wondered a great deal why men did not learn more about these things than they seem to do. Our principles are assailed now with just the same virulence that they used to be when we were in a small minority. I do not hold that they have triumphed thus for because of any sufferior capacity on our part. Certainly not. why is it, then , that we, from the smallest of all beginnings, have conquered the prejudiecs of the people and conquered the proominant party of this country which had stood completely dominating the whole nation for more t ian 40 years 2 Why is it that we have conquered you and now are triumphant here in "Us Senate and almost by 2/3rds in both branches, with the whole nation at our backs? What miracle has wrought this chan ve? None other than the great consoling fact that justice, liberty, and right are destined among the American people to succeed, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against them, although they are trying at this particular time very hard to do it. [Laughterf Mr. President, I did not rise to speakon this resolution. It has been here. long enough. I wish we could come to a vote upon the subject. I did not intend to open my mouth upon it, and I should not have said anything now but for the fact thatI have been assailed by forgeries and falsehoods here without the least foundation in the world. When I see things running as calmly, as glibly, and as triumphantly as the principles I advocate do now, I am content to sit still and see the hand of the Lord. I am not compelled to labor now. Formerly we had a little something to do, but now we may sit still, in perfect calmness, and see how rigIht and justice will work themselves out. say to you, Mr. President, that it will not be one month from today before any man who claims that he is not a radical here will wish to God he had been. [Laughter] I understand very well that, fromthe POTUS to the copperliead and the sympathizer, the radicals are sought to be at down. but you ought to have found out that it requires hard wrestling to put them down. You have uOt the force you used to have to contend with them; and as I said before, you do not seem to be I capable of learning anything. [Laughter} I tell you we are triumphant. The people are impatient; the people are ahead of any of.us, but I do not intend that they shall be O me if I can help it. [Langbter.] On the great principles of justice and right, for which I have always contended in this body, I have always intended to be ahead of the rent mass of the people, but they have overta on me, and are now threatening to go ahead of me. lfIcould take another advance I would do it; but having grounded myself on the granite ofeternal truth, as I said before, I do not see that I can get any further; that is my foundation and I defy all opposition to it. I do not care whether I am assailed by Presidents and called a traitor or by somebody else; I do not care who it is that assails me or from whom the assault comes; it does not shake my nerves at all. times when a manjwnnted more faith to believe in the triumphant justice of God than now. His course wrth this nation has been so mani fest foryears past that no man but an utter heathen can doubt that the Almighty arm is bared in defense of the princples we advocate. Ifnow, backed by the impatience of the people, who are ready and eager for the contest on the issue that is sought to be joined with us. we should be backward we should be the greatest conards on Gods earth. But we are not; and I say if Presidents or kings seek to make opposition to us. stand firm, my friends, and you that waver had better go back a little.
