Did that remark excite any horror in the gentle- EMINENT SPEAKERS. 191 man's mind. Not at all. I undertook, in my humble way, to demonstrate that, by the very letter and spirit of the Con- stitution, you had a right to lay the lives and the property and the homes, the very hearth-stones of the honest and the just and the good, under contribution by law, that the Re- public might live. Did that remark excite any abhorrence in the gentleman, or any threat that fifteen slave States would be combin...ed against us? Not at all. I stated in my place just as plainly, that by your law you might for the common defence not only take the father of the house, but the eldest born of his house, to the tented field by force of your con- scription, if need be, and subject him to the necessary despo- tism of military rule, to the pestilence of the camp, and the destruction of the battle-field. And yet the gentleman was not startled with the horrid vision of a violated Constitution, and there burst from his indignant lips no threat that if we did this there would be a union of fifteen slave States against the Federal despotism.
