On a motion of the gentleman from Maryland [Mr. Davis] the other day, this House by a unanimous vote, in which I be- SPEECH or MR. COLFAX. 165 lieve the gentleman from the second district , of Ohio participated, declared that we would not allow any- foreign country to plant a nation on the prostrate ruins of a republic anywhere upon the American continent ; and yet, Sir, when we assent by our silence to a propo- sition to recognize this confederacy, we not only assent to the planting of a forei...gn nation upon the soil of this continent, but one upon, the soil of our own beloved Union. Nay, more than that, when he has seen, when I have seen, when you have seen, and every member upon this floor has seen the emissaries of this rebel con- federacy bowing the knee to every sovereign in Eu- rope, asking an alliance with them, and saying in their confederate congress that they would prefer allegiance to a foreign prince than to remain part and parcel of this Union, do not we know that when their indepen- dence is acknowledged and recognized there will be an alliance, in their weakness, to make them stronget-, with any foreign nation, power, or potentate that sees fit to enter into treaties with them, and th^n upon that soil, once belonging to the United States, foreign ar- mies will be landed and their forces joined to that of those traitors to invade our own country and destroy our armies and even the liberties of our people f You have no right to pass resolutions like that offered by the gentleman from Maryland, warning foreign nations, if upon your own floor and by your deliberate assent and vote you declare and avow the sentiments uttered here yesterday by refusing to rebuke and condemn them, I have now perf9rmed my duty, and leave the rest to the House." 166 LIFE OP SCHUYLER COLFAX.
