" I hold that that plea, even if it was legal, (which it was not, because the Constitution de- nies him that power, ) is not well taken, for the necessity did not exist. Was the capital of the United States saved by the increase of twenty-two thousand men to the regular Army ? Was it saved by adding eighteen thousand men to the Navy? I affirm, in the presence of the Senate, that it was - not. What saved it? If saved at all, it was saved ' by the volunteer force that came to the standai'dvJ of t...he Government under the proclamation of ths-- President. I do not know whether the confed- erate States intended to take this capital. If they, did, it was the duty of the President to use all the • means confided to him by the Constitution to-'> resist the attempt. That I cheerfully admit. Butt sir, if the capital was saved from an attack it wa»i 8 saved by the volunteer force of the country which was called out under the first proclamation of the President. Senators on the other side of the Chamber and indeed all around have been justly eulogistic of the promptitude with which volunteers from their respective sections of the country rushed to the service, at the call of the President.
