1861, July 22-Mr. NOBLE, of Ohio, offered this resolution:

Resolved, That the contest now existing between the Government of the United States and the disloyal organizations now existing in certain States which are now waging an unjustifiable war upon the constitutional authority of the Government, should be treated and regarded by all loyal citizens not as a sectional war, nor an anti-slavery war, nor a war of conquest or subjugation, but simply as a war for the maintenance of the Government, the suppression of rebellion, and the preservation of all the rights of all the States full and undiminished, as they were purchased by the blood of the Revolution of 1776, and secured by all the provisions and compromises of the Federal Constitution, and for no other purpose whatever.

The resolution went over, Mr. BURNETT indicating a desire to debate it. It was not again reached.

1861, July 22-Mr. CRITTENDEN offered the following resolution:

Resolved, That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the southern States now in revolt against the constitutional Government and in arms around the capital; that in this national emergency Congress, banishing all feeling of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole country; that this war is not waged upon our part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States; but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; that as soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease.

Resolved, therefore, dc., That Congress does hereby solemnly declare that hostilities against the so-called confederate States shall be so prosecuted as to enforce obedience to the obligations of the Constitution, and the laws passed in accordance therewith; and that they shall not be so pros ecuted as to reduce to a position of inferiority any of the States, or to interfere with their State governments, or to abolish slavery within their limits.

1. Resolved, That the Union as it was must be restored

2. That if any person in the civil or military service of the United States shall propose terms of peace, or accept or advise the acceptance of any such terms, on any other basis than the integrity and entirety of the Federal Union, and of the several States composing the same, and the Ter ritories of the Union, as at the beginning of the civil war, he will be guilty of a high crime.

3. That this Government can never permit the intervention of any foreign nation in regard to the present civil war. 4. That the unhappy civil war in which we are engaged was waged in the beginning, professedly, not in any sprit of oppression or for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, and was so understood and ac cepted by the people, and especially by the army and navy of the United States; and that, therefore, wheever shall pervert, or attempt to pervert, the same to a war of conquest and subjugation, or for the overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of any of the States, and to abolish slavery therein, or for the purpose of

IN SENATE.

1861, December 20-Mr. WILLEY introduced the following, which was not acted upon:

Resolved, That the existing war, forced upon the country by the instigators of the rebellion without justifiable cause or provocation, was, and is, designed by them to destroy the Union and the Constitution; and their purpose, moreover, was at first, and is now, to disavow and repudiate the fundamental principles of republican government on which our fathers established the Union and the Constitution.

1861, December 16-Mr. TEN EYCK offered this resolution:

Resolved, That the present war is for the Union, according to the Constitution; that its object is to save the former and enforce the latter-was so in the beginning, is now as carried on, and should be, to the last; that measures, extreme and radical, disruptive in themselves, involving in a common fate as well the loyal as disloyal, should not be resorted to; and that in crushing treason-wide-spread and hateful as it is--the Government itself cannot prove traitor to organic law.

Third Session, Thirty-Seventh Congress.

IN HOUSE.

1862, Dec. 4-Mr. STEVENS offered the following resolutions:

Resolved, That this Union must be, and remain, one and indivisible forever.

2. That if any person in the employment of the United States, in either the legislative or executive branch, should propose to make peace, or should accept, or advise the acceptance, of any such proposition on any other basis than the integrity and entire unity of the United States and their Territories as they existed at the time of the rebellion, he will be guilty of a high crime.

3. That this Government can never accept the mediation or permit the intervention of any foreign nation, during this rebellion, in our domestic affairs.

4. That no two Governments can ever be permitted to exist within the territory now belonging to the United States, and which acknowledged their jurisdiction at the time of the insurrection.

Which were read, and postponed for the present.

Same day, Mr. WICKLIFFE offered this amendment, which, being out of order, was not entertained:

That any officer of the United States, either executive, legislative, or judicial, who is opposed to close the present war upon preserving the Constitution as it is, with all its guarantees and privileges, and the union of the States as established by said Constitution, is unworthy to hold such office, and should be dismissed or removed from the same.

any of the States, will be guilty of a flagrant breach of public faith and of a high crime against the Constitution and the Union.

5. That whoever shall propose by Federal authority to extinguish any of the States of this Union, or to declare any of them extinguished, and to establish territorial governments within the same, will be guilty of a high crime against the Constitution and the Union.

6. That whoever shall affirm that it is competent for this House or any other authority to establish a dictatorship in the United States, thereby superseding or suspending the constitutional authorities of the Union, and shall proceed to make any move toward the declaring of a dictator, will be guilty of a high crime against the Constitution and the Union and public liberty.

1862, December 8-Mr. WRIGHT offered the following joint resolutions :

Resolved, dc., That the rebellion, on the part of the se ceding States, against the Government and laws of this Union, was deliberately wicked, and without reasonable cause; the compact of the Union being perpetual, no State has the constitutional power to forcibly secede, and that there was no grievance, real or imaginary, upon the part of the seceding States, for the redress of which the Constitution does not furnish ample remedies.

2. That the rebellion being in contravention of the Con stitution and laws, it is the duty of the Government to pot it down, without regard to cost, or the consequences that may befall those engaged in it, and all necessary constitational means for this purpose, and this alone, should be farnished by the people. That inasmuch as the great and wicked crime invoked the power of the sword, the war should be prosecuted with all the vigor and strength and

means of the Federal Government till rebellion be subdued, | ton, Charles O'Neill, Orth, Patterson, Pike, Pomeroy, Price, and no longer.

3. That an honorable peace is desirable; but no peace while armed opposition menaces the Capital and threatens the overthrow of the Union; nor that peace which would be established upon the dismembered fragments of a mighty and prosperous nation; and that man who would entertain peace upon these conditions is a traitor to his country, and unworthy the protection of its laws.

4. That the war was inaugurated solely for the suppression of the rebellion, and the restoration of the Union as it was; that any and all attempts to change or divert this line of policy is a fraud upon the nation, a fraud upon the memory of the gallant men who have sacrificed their lives, and a fraud upon the living soldiers who now stand up as a wall between their loved country and its wicked invaders. 5. That the value of dollars and cents does not enter into the momentous question of the maintenance of popular liberty, or the preservation of a free Government, any more than the lives and comfort of the traitors who have conspired or leagued together for their destruction.

6. That the Union restored the war should cease, and the seceding States be received back into the Union with all the privileges and immunities to which they were originally entitled.

First Session, Thirty-Eighth Congress.
IN HOUSE.

1863, December 14-Mr. FINCK offered this resolution, which was laid over under the rule: Whereas, in the opinion of this House, the Federal Government is invested by the Constitution of the United States with all necessary power and authority to suppress any resistance to the due execution of the laws thereof, and to employ the army and navy in aid of the civil authority to disperse all armed resistance to the rightful power and jurisdiction of the United States; and whereas, in the judgment of this House, the army and navy cannot be right fully used to subjugate and hold as conquered territory any of the States of this Union: Therefore,

Be it resolved, That in this national emergency Congress will forego all feeling of mere passion or resentment, and will recollect only its duty to the country; that this war should not be waged on our part in any spirit of oppression. nor in any spirit of conquest or subjugation, or for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpared; and as soon as these objects are attained the war ought to cease.

1863, Dec. 14-Mr. HOLMAN offered these resolutions:

Resolved, that the doctrine, recently announced, that the States in which an armed insurrection has existed against Union, and shall be held, on the ultimate defeat of that inthe Federal Government have ceased to be States of the surrection, as Territories or subjugated provinces, and governed as such by the absolute will of Congress and the Federal Executive, or restored to the Union on conditions unknown to the Constitution of the United States, ought to be rebuked and condemned as manifestly unjust to the loyal citizens of those States, tending to prolong the war and to confirm the treasonable theory of secession, and if carried into effect must greatly endanger the public liberty and the constitutional powers and rights of all of the States, by centralizing and consolidating the powers of the government, State and national, in the Federal Executive.

2. That the only object of the war ought to be to subjugate the armed insurrection which for the time being suspends the proper relations of certain States with the Federal Government, and to re-establish the supremacy of the Constitution; and the loyal citizens of those States, and the masses of the people thereof, submitting to the authority of the Constitution, ought not to be hindered from restoring the proper relations of their respective States with the Federal Government, so far as the same is dependent on the voluntary act of the people, by any condition except unconditional submission to the Constitution and laws of the United States. In the language heretofore sol. emnly adopted by Congress, the war ought not to be waged on our part for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union, with all the diguity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired; and as soon as those objects are accomplished the war ought to cease. 3. That all necessary and proper appropriations of money ought to be promptly made by this Congress for the sup port of the military and naval forces of the Government, and all measures of legislation necessary to increase and promote the efficiency of the army and navy and to main tain the public credit ought to be adopted; that through a vigorous prosecution of the war, peace, on the basis of the union of the States and the supremacy of the Constitution, may be the most speedily obtained.
