57383 | I ask the Senator to recollect, too, what, save to send aid and comfort to the Enemy, do these predictions of his amount to? 57383 If, then, for a common object, this Property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge? |

57383 | *** But you may ask me what are these rights and these privileges? |
57383 | *** How has the planting of Slavery in new countries always been effected? |
57383 | *** On the subject of arming Slaves, of putting Negroes into the Army, how has my colleague and his Party voted? |
57383 | *** This being so, what is Judge Douglas going to spend his life for? |
57383 | *** What can authorize him to draw any such inference? |
57383 | *** What cause is there for further alarm in the Southern States, so far as the Territories are concerned? |
57383 | *** What is fairly implied by the term Judge Douglas has used,''resistance to the decision?'' |
57383 | *** What is now the case? |
57383 | *** Who did it? |
57383 | *** Will it be any more valid? |
57383 | ***"''Question. � In what direction would Johnston have had to move to get by you? |
57383 | ***"I ask Mr. Lincoln how it is that he purposes ultimately to bring about this uniformity in each and all the States of the Union? |
57383 | ***"You may ask, why does the South want us to do it by Constitutional Amendment, when we have just done it voluntarily by Law? |
57383 | ******"What more, then, is demanded? |
57383 | ********* Question[ by the Chairman]. � Would there have been any difficulty in preventing Johnston from going to Manassas? |
57383 | *********"Question. � While at Bunker Hill, the night before you left there, were any orders issued to march in the evening? |
57383 | **********''Question[ by the Chairman]. � And that left Johnston free? |
57383 | 1, but are in the immediate neighborhood, on their plantations? |
57383 | 9:45 p.m."LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GRANT:"Would it not be well for Warren to go down with his whole corps and smash up the force in front of Sheridan? |
57383 | A Freeman? |
57383 | A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer( Taylor), who exclaimed:"Have n''t you got a musket? |
57383 | After assisting him in checking his steed, the President said to me:''He came pretty near getting away with me, did n''t he? |
57383 | After shaking hands all round, the Governor said,"Coleman, what the devil is the matter here?" |
57383 | And Farnsworth met this idea � which had also been advanced by Messrs. Ross, Fernando Wood, and Pruyn � by saying:"What constitutes property? |
57383 | And as it is to so go, at all, events, may we not agree that the sooner the better? |
57383 | And as to Oligarchal rule � the rule of the few( and those the Southern chiefs) over the many, � was not that already accomplished? |
57383 | And how is it, that Johnston gets away from Patterson so neatly? |
57383 | And if such is the case, what are we to hope in the future? |
57383 | And is it not needed whenever it helps us and hurts the Enemy? |
57383 | And then cried the orator- his voice rising to a higher key, penetrating, yet musical as the blast from a silver trumpet:"What would he have? |
57383 | And then, having succeeded in convincing himself of Republican failure, he exultingly exclaimed:"But why enumerate? |
57383 | And to this more than fair proposition to the Southerners � to this touching appeal in behalf of Peace � what was the response? |
57383 | And we are asked by one of my colleagues,( Mr. Cox) does the gentleman from New York intend to call us Traitors? |
57383 | And what can that purpose be, but to throw his augmented right upon our left, at Blackburn''s Ford, and so, along the ridge- road, upon Centreville? |
57383 | And what have we seen? |
57383 | And what is this"republican"form of government, thus pledged? |
57383 | And what next? |
57383 | And what was the chief cause or pretext for discontent at that time? |
57383 | And what was the response of the South to this generous and conciliatory message? |
57383 | And when does he do it? |
57383 | And whose the sacrilegious hand that dared be first raised against his Country and his Country''s flag? |
57383 | And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period? |
57383 | And why the hasty after- indorsement of the decision, by the President and others? |
57383 | And, above all, is it consistent with any notion, which the mind of man can conceive, of human Liberty?" |
57383 | And, in any event, can not the North decide for itself, whether to receive them? |
57383 | Another, Mr. Charles E. Lex( a Republican), speaking of the Southern People, said:"What, then, can we say to them? |
57383 | Are they not already in the Land? |
57383 | Are they not intended for disorganization in our very midst? |
57383 | Are they not intended to animate our enemies? |
57383 | Are they not intended to destroy our zeal? |
57383 | Are they not intended to dull our weapons? |
57383 | Are we to predict evil, and retire from what we predict? |
57383 | Are we to stop and talk about an uprising sentiment in the North against the War? |
57383 | Are you for it? |
57383 | Are you for it? |
57383 | As I drew up by the party, Bismarck accosted me with,"Well, General, are n''t you hungry? |
57383 | As a political question and a question of humanity, can I receive the services of a father and mother, and not take the children? |
57383 | At every meal the steward would come to me, and say,"Captain Sherman, will you bring your ladies to the table?" |
57383 | At this General Grant remarked:"Did he say so? |
57383 | Aye, what next? |
57383 | Benjamin, why do you not vote? |
57383 | But do you think they are so perfectly moulded to their state as to be insensible that a better exists? |
57383 | But how can we attain it? |
57383 | But it first became necessary to settle the important question of who should succeed General McPherson? |
57383 | But the matter regarded by him of larger moment � the safety of the Union � how about that? |
57383 | But to return to Military operations: On December 10th? |
57383 | But what have we seen? |
57383 | But what next? |
57383 | But what would be the effect upon South Carolina? |
57383 | Ca n''t you defend your own family?" |
57383 | Can Grant supply himself from the Mississippi? |
57383 | Can I have fifty? |
57383 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
57383 | Can aliens make treaties, easier than friends can make laws? |
57383 | Can it be that such a resort finds root in any stratum of American opinion? |
57383 | Can not this last bloody battle be avoided?'' |
57383 | Can the Union endure under such a system of policy? |
57383 | Can their self love be so totally annihilated as not frequently to induce ardent wishes for a change? |
57383 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
57383 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens, than laws can among friends? |
57383 | Can we Abolish Slavery in the Loyal State of Kentucky against her will? |
57383 | Can we account for it to ourselves, gentlemen? |
57383 | Can we afford to send them forward to their masters, to be by them armed against us, or used in producing supplies to sustain the Rebellion? |
57383 | Can we do anything more? |
57383 | Can we whip the South? |
57383 | Can you expedite the sending to Nashville of the recruits that are in Indiana and Ohio? |
57383 | Continuing, he said:"What more do the Southern States want? |
57383 | Could I get a hundred tolerably intelligent men, with their wives and children, and able to''cut their own fodder''so to speak? |
57383 | Could not such a camp be established about Pocotaligo or Coosawhatchie? |
57383 | Could not such escaped slaves find at least a partial supply of food in the rice- fields about Savannah, and cotton plantations on the coast? |
57383 | Could not your cavalry go back by the way of Stony Creek depot and destroy or capture the store of supplies there? |
57383 | Could the one, in any way, greatly disturb the seven? |
57383 | Davis, etc.? |
57383 | Do not its principles and theories become daily more fixed in our practice? |
57383 | Do we not know it to be so? |
57383 | Do we not know that they have been anxious for a change of Government for years? |
57383 | Do we not know this?" |
57383 | Do you mean that I am to concede the benefits of the political struggle through which we have passed, considered politically, only? |
57383 | Do you mean that I am to give up my convictions of right? |
57383 | Do you mean that we are to deny the great principle upon which our political action has been based? |
57383 | Do you suppose we shall do nothing, even upon the sea? |
57383 | Do you think differently? |
57383 | Do you visit the North in the Summer? |
57383 | Does it appear otherwise to you? |
57383 | Does not the Fugitive Slave Law affect the Black soldier in the Army who was a Slave? |
57383 | Does the Free Republic of the United States exist, in fact, to- day? |
57383 | Does timidity ask WHEN? |
57383 | From your Custom- houses? |
57383 | General Blair simply asked,"Do you like it?" |
57383 | General Grant remarked,"What is to prevent their laying the rails again?" |
57383 | General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked,"where is the rebel line?" |
57383 | Governor of a State? |
57383 | Halleck was present and spoke up, saying:"How would Sheridan do?" |
57383 | Halleck''s telegram of last night says:"Who sent Smith''s division to Nashville? |
57383 | Has Congress any power over the subject of Slavery in Kentucky or Virginia or any other State of this Union? |
57383 | Has any thing been heard from the troops ordered from Vicksburg? |
57383 | Has he not stolen a march and sent re- enforcements toward Manassas Junction? |
57383 | Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes? |
57383 | Have any more troops arrived from Richmond, or are any more coming, or reported to be coming? |
57383 | Have we not at the South, as well as the North, grown great, prosperous, and happy under its operations? |
57383 | He asked me,"Where?" |
57383 | He dropped out of the retinue with an orderly, and after we had ridden a mile or so he overtook us, and I asked him,"What luck?" |
57383 | He inquired,"Why not both?" |
57383 | He remaining mounted, spoke first to me, saying simply,"How are you, Sheridan?" |
57383 | He said:"What is the use of your persevering? |
57383 | He then asked in his quizzical way,"Are you a foreign embassador?" |
57383 | He then said,"Have you any impudence?" |
57383 | He turned to me and said,"Ca n''t you take your regiment up there?" |
57383 | How can this be done? |
57383 | How can we feed and care for such a multitude? |
57383 | How can we, by conceding what you now ask, relieve you and the Country from the increasing pressure to which you refer? |
57383 | How did that side of the House vote on the question of arming Slaves and paying them as soldiers? |
57383 | How does it happen that we have not had unanimity enough to agree on any measure of that kind? |
57383 | How is he going to do it? |
57383 | How long have we been at War? |
57383 | How many letters of marque and reprisal would it take to put the whole of your ships up at your wharves to rot? |
57383 | How will he do it? |
57383 | How? |
57383 | I answered, rather shortly,''How the devil do you know there is a masked battery? |
57383 | I answered:"How can you go to New York? |
57383 | I asked Deshler:"What does this mean? |
57383 | I assured him with thanks that I was"first- rate,"when, pointing toward the village, he asked,"Is General Lee up there?" |
57383 | I had on my undress uniform indicating my rank, and inquired of the sentinel,"Is General Fremont up?" |
57383 | I presume that some one said to the Governor about this time,"Why do n''t you get Sheridan?" |
57383 | I said I had come to see him on business; and he added,"You do n''t suppose that he will see such as you?" |
57383 | I said to Mr. Pickens,''What next do you propose we shall do? |
57383 | I submit to you, my fellow- citizens, whether such a line of policy is consistent with the peace and harmony of the Country? |
57383 | I touched it and examined one or two of the larger pieces, and asked,"Is it gold?" |
57383 | If Hood goes to the Alabama line, will it not be impossible for him to subsist his army? |
57383 | If Rebellion and bloodshed and murder have followed, to whose skirts does the responsibility attach? |
57383 | If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not say it does not mean some other man? |
57383 | If such persons have what will be an advantage to them, the question is, whether it can not be made of advantage to you? |
57383 | If the rebel leaders were to arm the slaves, what would be its effect? |
57383 | If you ca n''t get over, how can the rebels get at you?'' |
57383 | In answer to his compliments about the comfortable location I had made, I said:''Very comfortable, General, when shall we move on?'' |
57383 | In that event, could you stand the reaction feeling which the suffering commerce of Charleston would probably manifest? |
57383 | In that event, would it not be possible for you to become a citizen of our State? |
57383 | In what do our new Territories now differ in this respect from the old Colonies when Slavery was first planted within them? |
57383 | In what way can that Compromise be used to keep Lee''s Army out of Pennsylvania? |
57383 | Is he going to spend his life in maintaining a principle that no body on earth opposes? |
57383 | Is it doubted that it would restore the National authority and National prosperity, and perpetuate both indefinitely? |
57383 | Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage? |
57383 | Is it less fertile? |
57383 | Is it not a mere usurpation without any known mode of justification, under any existing Code of Laws, human or Divine?"] |
57383 | Is it not a time when the measure is most likely to produce danger and mischief to the Country at large? |
57383 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? |
57383 | Is it worth our while to continue this union of States, where the North demands to be our masters and we are required to be their tributaries? |
57383 | Is that what you mean? |
57383 | Is there a single Court or Magistrate, or individual that would be influenced by it there? |
57383 | Is there no danger to the Tranquillity of the Country in its existence? |
57383 | Is there, has there ever been, any question that, by the Law of War, property, both of enemies and friends, may be taken when needed? |
57383 | It forces us to ask:''Is there in all republics, this inherent and fatal weakness?'' |
57383 | It has the sanction of God''s own Apostle; for when Paul sent back Onesimus to Philemon, whom did he send? |
57383 | It is only a week ago last Monday, that a Bill was introduced here to punish guerrillas*** and how did my colleague vote? |
57383 | Look to the illustrations which the times now afford, how, in the illustration of that sentiment, do we differ from the Black man? |
57383 | MAJOR- GENERAL THOMAS, Nashville, Tenn. Is there not danger of Forrest moving down the Cumberland to where he can cross it? |
57383 | Major Childs inquired,"Where is Coacoochee?" |
57383 | Major W. T. Sherman: Will you accept the chief clerkship of the War Department? |
57383 | Mason said to me,"What is that?" |
57383 | May it not interfere with the common Defense and general Welfare? |
57383 | May they not pronounce all Slaves Free? |
57383 | May they not think that these call for the abolition of Slavery? |
57383 | Member of Congress?" |
57383 | Mr. Lincoln*** more than once exclaimed:''Must more blood be shed? |
57383 | Mr. Lincoln, who was still standing, said,"Threatened to shoot you?" |
57383 | My friends, is it possible to preserve Peace between the North and the South if such a doctrine shall prevail in either Section of the Union? |
57383 | Not that he feared the North � but the South; how would the wayward, wilful, passionate South, receive his proffered olivef- branch? |
57383 | Now, what do we find? |
57383 | Now, who was it that did the work? |
57383 | Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,''Can we do better? |
57383 | Of all the times when an attempt was ever made to carry this measure, is not this the most inauspicious? |
57383 | Of parties claiming foreign protection? |
57383 | Offering the flask to his uncle, he said:"You''ve had a hard day of it; wo n''t you refresh yourself?" |
57383 | Often"Johnny"would call:"Well, Yank, when are you coming into town?" |
57383 | One party to a contract may violate it � break it, so to speak; but does it not require all, to lawfully rescind it? |
57383 | Or would he conduct this War so feebly, that the whole World would smile at us in derision?" |
57383 | Others say:"What are we to do? |
57383 | Our position for renewing the action the next morning was excellent; whence, then, our failure? |
57383 | Pausing awhile, and watching the operations of this man roasting his corn, he said,"What are you doing?" |
57383 | President?'' |
57383 | Renick said,"What do you want with General Fremont?" |
57383 | Shall we send a flag of Truce? |
57383 | Sherman said to me:"Admiral, how could you make such a remark to McClernand? |
57383 | Should his request be granted, who would you like as his successor? |
57383 | Should we allow them to escape, etc.? |
57383 | Simply that a Constitutional Amendment shall be adopted, affirming � what? |
57383 | Sir, are they not words of brilliant, polished Treason, even in the very Capitol of the Nation? |
57383 | Sir, how can we make Peace? |
57383 | Sir, how can we retreat? |
57383 | Sir, is not this a remarkable spectacle? |
57383 | So that among the younger officers the query was very natural,"Who the devil is Governor of California?" |
57383 | So that the only questions that remained were, would he surrender at Raleigh? |
57383 | Some say:"I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?" |
57383 | State in what manner you would rather live-- whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by yourselves? |
57383 | State what you understand by slavery, and the freedom that was to be given by the President''s proclamation? |
57383 | State what, in your opinion, is the best way to enlist colored men as soldiers? |
57383 | Suppose he does re- enact the same law which the Court has pronounced unconstitutional, will that make it Constitutional? |
57383 | The Governor knocked at the door, and on inquiry from inside"Who''s there? |
57383 | The immediate Secessionists, or those who are opposed to separate State action at this time? |
57383 | The next was,"What are WE to do?" |
57383 | The only question now was, how to get rid of it? |
57383 | The question, then, naturally arises, what are those rights and privileges, and what is the nature and extent of them? |
57383 | Then followed the question,"Is Fort McAllister taken?" |
57383 | These speeches of his, sown broadcast over the Land, what clear distinct meaning have they? |
57383 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here( mostly women and children) to find any shelter? |
57383 | This feature was more than acceptable to the parents at times, for how else could they so thoroughly learn all the neighborhood gossip? |
57383 | To mob law, to partisan caucuses, to town meetings, to revolution? |
57383 | To whom shall you appeal? |
57383 | Tracy desiring"to know whether, in these Halls, the gentleman from Maryland invoked Almighty God that the American Arms should not prevail?" |
57383 | Upon what terms? |
57383 | WHAT NEXT? |
57383 | WHAT NEXT? |
57383 | WHAT NEXT? |
57383 | Warming up, he proceeded to say:"Can the Union be restored by War? |
57383 | Was it Mr. Clark? |
57383 | Was it that they believed a Monarchical form of government was incompatible with civil liberty? |
57383 | Was it that they were opposed to a Monarchical form of government? |
57383 | Was it the firing on our flag at Sumter? |
57383 | Was that the first adversary passage? |
57383 | We then returned to Benicia, and Wool''s first question was,"What luck?" |
57383 | Well, so much being disposed of, what is left? |
57383 | Well, suppose he is; what is he going to do about it? |
57383 | Were it his own, would he not have said in"making"it, instead of in"stating"it? |
57383 | What American is not proud of the result? |
57383 | What Commissioners? |
57383 | What better Compromise could have been made? |
57383 | What can I do for you?" |
57383 | What can it be? |
57383 | What could I do? |
57383 | What do those terms mean when used now? |
57383 | What do those terms mean? |
57383 | What good does it do to pass a second Act? |
57383 | What has become of it? |
57383 | What has become of that Squatter Sovereignty? |
57383 | What has been their course in regard to raising money to pay the Army? |
57383 | What has now become of all his tirade about''resistance to the Supreme Court?''" |
57383 | What is Popular Sovereignty? |
57383 | What is War? |
57383 | What is it? |
57383 | What more can any man demand? |
57383 | What more? |
57383 | What of future hopes? |
57383 | What of past glories? |
57383 | What should be done with them? |
57383 | What signified the terms to them, so long as we obtained the actual surrender of people who only wanted a good opportunity to give up gracefully? |
57383 | What then? |
57383 | What then? |
57383 | What was Squatter Sovereignty? |
57383 | What was to be done with the rebel armies when defeated? |
57383 | What were they but a clear indication that the framers of the Constitution intended and expected the ultimate extinction of that institution? |
57383 | What will become of Constitutional Government? |
57383 | What will become of public Liberty? |
57383 | What would be its fate there? |
57383 | What would he have? |
57383 | What would our condition be in the event of the greatest calamity that could befall this Nation?" |
57383 | What''vested right''has any man or State in Property in Man? |
57383 | When ground is owned by parties who have gone south, and have leased the ground to parties now in the city who own the improvements on the ground? |
57383 | When he did speak it was to ask:"Grant, how many wolves do you think there are in that pack?" |
57383 | When houses are occupied and the owner has gone south, leaving an agent to collect rent for his benefit? |
57383 | When houses are owned by loyal citizens, but are unoccupied? |
57383 | When movable property is found in stores that are closed? |
57383 | When parties owning houses have gone south, and the tenant has given his notes for the rent in advance? |
57383 | When parties who occupy the house are creditors of the owner, who has gone south? |
57383 | When the navigation laws cease to operate, what will become of your shipping interest? |
57383 | When the owner has gone south, and parties here hold liens on the property and are collecting the rents to satisfy their liens? |
57383 | When the owner lives in town, and refuses to take the oath of allegiance? |
57383 | When the tenant has expended several months''rent in repairs on the house? |
57383 | When this Tariff ceases to operate in your favor, and you have to pay for coming into our markets, what will you export? |
57383 | When your machinery ceases to move, and your operatives are turned out, will you tax your broken capitalist or your starving operative? |
57383 | Where are you?" |
57383 | Where is Rome, once the mistress of the World? |
57383 | Where is it? |
57383 | Where is the remedy when you refuse obedience to the constituted authorities?" |
57383 | Where is to be your boundary line? |
57383 | Where the end of the principles we shall have to give up? |
57383 | Which party will prevail? |
57383 | Who defeated it? |
57383 | Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama?" |
57383 | Who have prompted him? |
57383 | Who heard of any such thing, because of the Ordinance of''87? |
57383 | Who is responsible for it? |
57383 | Who is so bold as to do it? |
57383 | Who shall treat? |
57383 | Who would go? |
57383 | Who, then, has brought these evils on the Country? |
57383 | Who, then, shall come in at this day and claim that he invented it? |
57383 | Whose fault was it? |
57383 | Why better after the retraction than before the issue? |
57383 | Why declare that within twenty years the African Slave Trade, by which Slaves are supplied, might be cut off by Congress? |
57383 | Why deprive him of supplies by a blockade, and voluntarily give him men to produce them? |
57383 | Why disguise this great truth? |
57383 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
57383 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
57383 | Why even a Senator''s individual opinion withheld, till after the Presidential election? |
57383 | Why is this so? |
57383 | Why may not our Country at some time, average as many? |
57383 | Why not attack at once? |
57383 | Why not save this Proposition, and see if we can not bring the Country to it?'' |
57383 | Why not? |
57383 | Why should they do anything for us if we will do nothing for them? |
57383 | Why the delay of a re- argument? |
57383 | Why the incoming President''s advance exhortation in favor of the decision? |
57383 | Why the outgoing President''s felicitation on the indorsement? |
