REMARKS OF
COL. S. S. WIIAllTON. :
I^ PA. SENATE ; FEB'UY. 2, 18C2. |
The Sennto hnvinp under oonsidorntion the resolution instrnotin^ our Senators to Toto for Iho expnisiou of Jesso D. Bright;
Mr. WHARTON.    Mr. Speaker, I hnd '. nol intended to ooonpy  lho  attention  of . tho Sennte upon this question ; but   I  do nol foerat liberty to pass   it  by,   content: wilh merely castinf'   my  voto.    1   dosiro j only lo say a few wjrds, however, in rela¬ tion lo poinis wliioh I think havt nol been touched upon in the discussion     In   tho first plane T will   say  Li   my   friond   from Bradford, (Mr. LaiiJon.) llial I am afraid ho cntorlains a niistakon notion upnn  thc qacstion; I do  nol  think  il is   of that character which can properly bo   donomi- , nated " a lover's quarrel."     If il was   of ; such  a  character,   thon   ils    adjustuiont , niijihl be expeoted to resomblc that whioh ho has supiircslod.    Ho  talks  of tears   of ! joy and sorrow beinp; shed, lho adoption of Blcrn resolutions by  both   parlioa  iu   the ^ qoarrel, and then a mutual good feoliDf< ; i but there is more than   thai  embraced in tbe action had upon this resolution.    It is plainly evident that thc instincts of party | policy are tho rulin;; motives in tho dispo- lion of tho  present  subjeot.    Although, perhaps, every uieinbcr of lho Logislaturo hns Elated his belief that tho object of our present action is nnt  dtsi^ned to raanjiiify or Icsfico tho staudiiii:; of noy political or- , panizalion beforo   the   poople,   yol  upon nearly all oecasiuii.s of importanco  lo Ihc ' interests of the wholo country, this dispo- nition has been privately indulged   in  the Legialaluro.    I do nol think ihoro should be any stadicd demnnslratioDS of party { taotics on questions of so mueh vitality lo our oomnion country ; but wo hnvc politi- ' oal parlies, and I would   as readily rcco^- [ niie parly lines at this timo upon material ^questions uf polioy, as I would  hnvo prc- | vious lo the dawnin;; of the present greal orists unon the country.    Il doea  not no- . cessarily follow thnl because parties do ex- 1 isl, thoir adherents arc nol therefore patri- ! otio. As an individual member of society, belonging lo a politioal organizntion, Ican ; slato withoul the least  provarioalion thai my parlv feelings do nol make me less pa- trfotic than if I repudiated all  parly isms or political principles ; and I supposo lho same may bo said of lho   mombcrB of tho . I Democralio  parly genorally.    I  supposo they are carrying out their convictions of duty ; and if thoy arc honest in those con¬ victions, Ihey will favor oll measures which !ook to promoting the best interests of tho country.
Now, Mr. Speaker, I oan soe no reason why Ihera should be nny difforonco of opin¬ ion on thia resolution, botween tho two Houses, if it was nnt for tho facl lo which I havo referred. Il is owipg to lho tac¬ tics of party—to a kind of mania for a obange of whal one politioal parly in this Senato had proposed and to subslitale tho proposition of our Democralio friends in tho Houso. The party in tho IIousO seems to havo lost tight of lho facl tbat this Se- oato finally voted unanimously for tho re- 'Solulion of instruction to our Bonalors in Congreas, to vote for tho expulsion of tho traitor, Jcsso D. Bright. Whether the aotion of tho Demooraoy of the House is based upon thc assumptioo thai they arc better leaders than thcie df their parly in tbo Sonalt, I Jim unable to tay ; but ono tiling, Mr. Spisaker, is oertain—that the tendency to differ between the two houses on rtiie (fiestion, at the prosent time, can certainly have no good offeol upop tbe in- teceslaof tbf people. If our Sonatora in Congress arc lo bo instruoted to vole for tbe expulsion of thc traitor Bright, why not give thom direol initraotionaf Tbey are men of direct and poailive dealings ¦nd thov would oertainly greatly prefer that if instructed al all, those instructions ihopld 1)0 plain and lo thc point. Xow, .,tii. iSpeaker, having mado those prolimi- ; nary roioorka, I desiro lo call the atton- tlonief tba Senate lo the somewhat ivoot- •d qntition of the right of inatrootion.—
That ia a doclrino as old as Demiicraoy it-' heart. In that viow Ihcro should be no self; il is so well undorstood nnd has been hesitation on the pari of any Senator here fi well practiced in years gono by, ond is lo voto in favor of this resolution of in¬ ao generally praolioed at this day, thai il slructiuu for his expulsion. I ropoat tho sooms to bo a part and parcel of tho gov- question is nol whelher he oau bo legally ernment ilsolf. Mombers of all parties oonvictod of the crime of treason, but il havo long einoe camo to tho conclusion, is whether thc iuiporalivo roquiiomcbts of that, in poinl of principle, the doctrine of the hour do nol demand thai the ncoessi- iiutruolion is jusl and proper. Why, ^r, lies of tho nation shall bo plaoed abovo all if I felt aalisfiod in rogard lo the inslruc- donbl or disloyalty in thoir couooils. Why lions of my oonstituenis upon any ono wns that great writ of habeas corpus sus- qnestion, I would feci that t was nut dis- pendcd ? Tho object was to catch such obarging my duty ns a Sonalor if I did mon ns oould nol bo oouviclcd of treason not obey those instructions ; tho only al- or unfricudlincss to tho government of our tornalive loft mo os an honorable mnn, in country, that thoy might do no injury ; suoh a caso, would bo to resign my posi- that is tho reason why wo havo ao many tion. In tho present instance, wo havo men at proaent confined in pri.sons. Thoir olearly tho righl lo nsserl that principle, iucaroeration is neccs.sary in order to pro- and especially so al the present session vent thom from doing vnst injury to the wheu mnny mombers of lho Legislature welfare of the country, by giving infoini- aro present, by whose votes tho present ationtoiiiuruuoiauuu uuil.iioof ttoSo'Utb. Senators in Congress wero elocted lo llicir .Vs an illustration of the injury whioh such high and honorable offices. Tho Legisia- men bavo causod our country, I would re¬ turo is that power by whieh our Senators fer to the facl tbnt upon tho ooeasion of a in Congress are officially created, and tho mililary cxpodilion leaving our shores, tho right of lhi.s body to inslrucl thoso rcpro- robols always knew tho destination and scntative officers is nol only clcnr but em- purposes of that expedition, whilo loyal iuontly just ond proper, and in acoordnneo people bad uot tho slightest infurmation wilh tho ropublican iustitutions of our ns to whero their fellow-countrymen were eountry. Furlhermore, necessity requires destined. So long as wo havo quibbling thatthosohighroprcsentalivos should knnw hero in Pennsylvauia amongst loyal mon, our opinions npon all questions of vital in- this state of lLiag.-i will continue to c.\ist. terest lo this peoplo. Tho Domooratio par-' Tho Scuuto rcsolulion requests our Soo¬ ty having, al all times nnd on all occasions ators in Cougress, in precise language, to agreed to tho righl of instruetiou, it is do jusi as you or I, Air. Speaker, would most singularly strango thnt that organiza- bo likely to nsk a rcprosentalivo to aolup- tion should now profess to avoid tho doo- on a question affecting our privalo inler- Irino of voting for distinct and positivo in- csts. It conlcmplalos no other than a Birueiions.    I   make   no  chargea ngainst   direct answer.

Bul I ob- for the next fall campaign, to whioh I jeet to this univorsal prejudice in favor of ^ hnvo already alluded. It has very much party. In tho disposilion of tho measure | that appearance, at least. After presuming before us, that projudioo is based upou tho to instruct our Souatora in Congress, the hopo entertained by Democratic politiciana rcsolulion says that if a certain state nf that lho difficulties* the oouulry nro but things is found to exist, cortain action shall temporary, and that Ihey must lake oaro ; bo taken, and thon as if alarmed nl ilsown of the party in tbo uieautinio or also tho sirongth tho resolulion savs in thc moat operation of the south will bo lost to thorn j nmi.ablo terms, "provided there is no dif- when lho war is over. They arguo that ficulty in tho Constitntion." This latter Mr. Bright is a Democrat and a friend of sentence ia added for foar that thoao who the South, and if mailers becomo quieted , arc to bo instructed migli find somctliing down tho great Democracy of the North | in the Constitution that would not exactly will require the aid of lho South in order [ allow Ihcm, on con.«tilutioual grounds, to lo obtain possossion of the reins of gov- expol a fellow ineiuber from tho United ernment. Members of the Losislnturo Stales Senato. Il will bo perceived that would bo a groat donl belter off if they Mr. Cessna i,i a man nf policy, (and I know acted frankly in these matters and eithrr | him to bo a" man of sense,) for by his re- oamo out boldly against Iraitors or ngainst' solulion ho places himself on bolh sides of Iho govcrninent. Theso party arrange- ' the queslion. If Mr. Cow.in votes for the ments lo go before the pooplo next fall, expulsion of .Tcsso D. Bright, then the aro Bubjoets which frequently ongross the member frora Bedford may con.sistenlly attention of representatives of tho people loll him ho has dono righl; nnd if bo votei in these halls; and I would suggest to ngainst the expulsion, our politio fiiend thoso gcntletnen thnt thero is no uso in min- may likewise applaud tho act; and should cing the matter. It presenta a queslion ho moet Mr. Bright, he can say "this ro- upon which we must go beforo the peoplo ' solution wns not so hard upon yon, for wo of the nation. Tharo is nol a man hero | left it Just whoro it comiiienccd." Thcre- who dnes not believe Ihat Senator Bright I foro, nobody is hurl; with such a rosolu- wrola the treasonable lettor with which he ' tion nobody cau be hurt. As I before "ifl charged. 1 nuk how oan a sonsibionian reninrkeu, ourSoiialu.ooJC-itriightfoTWsrd, oonsoientiously believe that n porson writ- intelligent men, nnd they ccrlainly wo'ild ing a letter at tho timo at whicii this one greatly prefer, as also would tho peoplo al W.1S dated—three or four days befuro tho ' largo, that wo instruct them directly to pre.'ienl President of the United Stutes was ' thc point. If they see proper to disobey inaugurated under frowning batteries of j that instruction, then they and thoir con- oannon, ranged for the dofeneo of tho ca- sciences may settlo that oucstion. Tho pital, (which preparations wcro rendered j peoplo of Pennsylvania will hold them lo necessary beeanso of rumored attempts to ; a strict accountability for their votes on tako possession of lho gnvcrnncnt by a . this question. I do nol caro whal indi- lawlcss band of reboli)—howcan any mnn vidual suffering thuir action may cnuso, under auoh circumstances, refiino fo believe thoy must oomo up to lho work. Tho that that letter furnishes evidonce of trea-' pooplo of I'cunsyli-ania arc loyal, whelher son 1 I havo nlready put tho question to , Ihey bo domocrats, republicans or of any tho Senator from. iSorks, (Mr. Clymcr,) ! political failh ; and I would add that if whether ho belioved that letter waa genu- i they could only lay aside their liltlo pre- ino-whether il was written by Mr. Bright.

Sir, you may road- | fit to go into a secret session of tbo Senato ily fiod an excuse even for a bad caso, and whero all lho plans and projects of tho that oxouso may satisfy us as partizans, ' governmont aro determined upon. Ilo though it never can ns consoiontioua and , has nover repented of lho traitorous letter responsible men. Whon our consoienoes wilh which ho is charged; ho has never and judgmenis aro appealed to, the aspect! denied hi.s complicity in lho treason which of a oaso wbich to our heated partizan pro-1 it unveils; ho has nover cvon said tbat ho judiccs mny appoar propor, will becomo was sorry for wriling il, and bo is nol any greatly obanged. I think tbo timo has better qualified for tho dutios uf his bun- arrived when wo should tako nolion upon I orablo position than ho was upon lho firsl this subject, and thereby render a prece-! of Marcb laat; yd wo aro kesilating as to dent for tho punishiiiont of traitora tn nil | otir proper actiou in the promises.

The real question al issue is not as to tbe tcgal or teohnioal sottlciuoot of this uuos- lion ;¦ it is higher than that. Tho point is whether Mr. Bright Is a fit adviser of tho PresidonI of the United States, whether he haa tho iotoreata of tho byal paople at
