If that, then, be so, he stood there clothed with no authority to say what any State of the Union would do; but he knew that Virginia stood committed by her declarations, stood committed in honor and interest, to resist at all hazards a war of aggression upon the Southern States of this Confederacy. And she must do it. Why must she do it? The very hand that would aid in striking down South Carolina and Alabama, strengthened by Virginia, might, at any moment, be uplifted to crush the other States--crippled and crushed by the very subjugation of these Southern States. Whether they made a declaration of war or not, all the Border States, within three months time, with one or two exceptions, will be found side by side with the seceding States of the Union.

all the power I can bring to bear upon the occasion. In the name of the Constitution it violates, I denounce it. In the name of my constituents, whom it injures, and is likely to attack, I denounce it.--In the name of our common country whose peace it is likely to disturb, and whose peace if once disturbed can never be restored, I denounce it. In the name of that humanity to which we all belong, but which too many of us ignore, with redoubled energy and in deeper accents, I denounce and execrate it." [Applause.] Mr. Howard, of Michigan, characterized the remarks of Mr. Bocock as mere clap-trap.--The appeal of the gentleman from Virginia was designed for his State, so that it might operate on the minds of the delegates to their Convention, which was now in session. He was not willing to let the seceding States go peaceably. He was unwilling to give any guarantee, or to make any compromise. On motion of Mr. Stanton, the bill was made the order of the day for Tuesday next.

He would ask was it likely that Virginia and Kentucky would hold a position in which they would be liable to have their militia called out — they, perhaps, being nearest the scene of action — to aid in making war upon South Carolina or Mississippi? No, they would not do it. They would much prefer to throw off the yoke of the Government, and do what they could to repel the attacks of the Army and Navy, and to crush the power of the Government.

on to that, they had a local legislature, by whose authority he could call out the military in case they were threatened by an invasion of armed forces from other States. Even if the military power of the country was called out to aid in the enforcement of the laws, it must be subordinate to the civil power. But when they called out the power to bear directly on the execution of the laws, it was making war, and would be so considered by the country; and so every force bill reported to this House was a war measure, and indeed, whether or not it should be so regarded, it must, in the necessity of the case, result in war.
