Excerpt from Speech of Hon. John B. Huston, of Clarke: Delivered in the House of Representatives of Kentucky, February 11, 1863
To make their work complete, the trainers of that instrument wisely distributed the powers of the Government into three departments. In it are loulltl legislative powers, limited and restricted, awl they are conterred upon Congress; executive powers. Still more restricted, and they are conferred on the President; judicial powers, equal, and suffi cient l'orthe ends and purposes of the Government, and they are vested in the supreme and interior courts. These powers are kept separate. There is no intermingling of them among the dilferent departments. One department, or its olficers, cannot exercise the powers conferred on another. The wisdom and design of the separation is that each should he a check upon the other and so preserve the harmony of the system. One department cannot, by law, or by any implication, exercise the powers and duties of another. And equally the rights and liberties guaranteed to the States or the people, cannot be ih fringed or taken away by law orimplication. It should be stated that,in addition to his executive powers, the President is made the Commander-ih-chief of the A my and Navy oi' the United States.

Excerpt from Speech of Hon. John B. Huston, of Clarke: Delivered in the House of Representatives of Kentucky, February 11, 1863
Mr. Chairman - I propose, as briefly as possible, to express some views upon the subjects under consideration. I am profoundly impressed with the importance and solemnity of the occasion. Dangers beset us on every side. Darkness and gloom are round about us. We anxiously look for light to guide our course. It is incumbent on us to strive to keep passion under the control of reason. Let thought - calm, dispassionate thought - rule the occasion and guide our action. There is danger, from the natural operation of the mind, of running into extremes from a familiar and continued line of thought upon any subject at any time; and a force of will and action is given in one or another direction just as the practice of such familiarity is indulged and continue. And in these times of lawlessness, of open violations of legal restraints, and of acquiescence in, and excuses for, such disorders, the natural tendency is increased in strength, and requires a stern and fixed resistance to avoid its fearful consequences. It becomes us, then, in proper spirit, to rise above all mere party, to look the danger fairly in the face, and keep full high advanced, the standard of loyalty, the standard of our country's interest, and to walk firmly the narrow path of principle and duty, fearless of consequences. If I know myself I intend to pursue this course. And I am gratified to believe that the people have taken the "sober second thought" in regard to the perils that beset us; that they are alarmed into reflection. And when this is fully accomplished good results must follow. It is well for the country's hopes and destiny that we should be aroused, while floating down the current of events, by the roar of the plunging cataract, before it is too late to escape. We may yet leap to the projecting crags, and achieve deliverance, and escape the fatal plunge.
I am aware, sir, that a disposition exists to question the loyalty of any one who feels constrained to condemn the principles and policy of the administration of the General Government. This arises from a neglect to distinguish between the Government and its Administration, and from an incorrect perception of the constituents of loyalty. I, sir, am not apprehensive that my loyalty will be questioned. I feel a consciousness that I am above suspicion. The brief history of my humble career is my sufficient vindication. What, sir, is loyalty?
