The discourse was delivered on Thurs- day night, at the Tremont Temple. he Governor and Lieut. Governor, President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, Hon. Robt. Rantoul, Hon. Anson Burlingname, and other dignita- Ties took seats on the platform. Before introducing the orator of the evening, Dr. Howe read extracts from a letter from Hon. A. B. Butler, of South Carolina, iving as a reason for not lecturing in ‘oston, that he would have to lecture to an audience of foregone conclusions, and entering into a brief argument in defence After telling his hearers thaf though far away from Texas, he felt he was not far away from ‘‘home,” inasmuch as he was in the midst of Americans, the Gen- eral proceeded to say that though born in the South, he had learned to knows North, He came among them unsolicit- ed—indeed “‘] might say, undesired, because it de- volves upon me a degree of responsibili- ty to vindicate an institution with which Lam concerned—one in which [ had no election, one that fortune or destiny cast me into connection with, and one that must exist, or the two races cannot exist It was not his purpose to discuss the abstract principle of slavery. “To discuss the abstract” principles of slavery or freedom, is not my here. I take it as I find it, and as I have found it in past life. It was not the contrivance of myscli or of my immediate ancestors, that the institution exists in the country in which I live. We find that the adap- tation of climate, of soil, and of produc- tion have demanded and commanded the labor of a class of laborers that have been expelled from this section of the country. The institutions have changed in this section. In the achievement of American liberty, there was not one of the Colonies but held to slavery, and recognized it as aright, as an institution. The achieve ment was made by slavyeholders, and if they have dispossessed themselves of Slaves, they have now cnured to another section of the country and there exist to- day. They are not objects of pity, or of wretchedness, or reduced to a state of heathenism; they are possessed of the light of civilization and of morality. [1 is the care of the masters there who have the fellowship of the community, to see that on the Sabbath day, the day of rest and adoration, their slaves attend the worship of the ity ser Being. The Word is there given by men of their own colof, or by white preachers, and they are instructed in religion and virtue. Masters rightly constituted there feel anxious that their slaves should become acquainted with the mysteries, the truths, and the advantages of revelation. They do not desire to have them shut out from these advantages. Men who would re- strain them from their liberty on that day—and I say with all sincerity that ] have known but two masters of this kind in the whole State who are charged with compelling them to labor on the Sabbath day—are not consorted with by their neighbors. Their houses are looked upon as infected places. No one will consort with them, and no one ‘on- siders them fit for any office of trust cr distinction. These statements, I know, are not con- formable to the state of excited feeling which exists in various portions of the country. But they are nevertheless true, and [ feel called upon by the respect shown to me to state truth in return for that respect. [Applause]. So far as the South has heretofore ex- pressed itself—I say the South, as I have come to vindicate the South against the respons:bility sought to be cast upon it for that fur which it is not responsible— the South has said, ‘let us alone, let us regulate our domestic institutions for ourselycs ; you governors, you states- men, go on and regulate your domestic institutions, but give us the same privi- leges within our reserved rights of soy- ereignty, and it is all we ask. Let us alone.” How long has that spirit of ac- quiescence been? How perfect was it at the commencement of the last session of Congress! Not a voice of discord, not a jarring, sound was heard. Throughout the broad land peace, concord, harmony, and unanimity of feeling prevailed. The compromises of 50 had — for the sountry a state of peace and joyous tran- cpaiitjlant before heard of. ‘Lo be sure, some exceptions were taken to them, but I speak of men and measures generally. No jarring sound was heard until a voice proclaimed within the hearing of the American community—‘Nebraska! Ne- praska!’’ [Loud applause.] That was the note of discord—from whence did itemanate? From the South ? [deny it. [Cheers.] I will prove from history that the South never demanded il, nor did all the Fouth acquiesce in it, either. [Renewed cheers.] 1 know it requires some iron nerve to stand up against clamor and abuse, but-I would not give a fig for a man who could not stand up against .the world when his breastp:ate is ghonor, and his helmet truth. ([Applause.] Not one Legisla- ture of the whole South—not one execu- tive—exhibited any uneasiness under the Missouri Compromise. Not one single tor—not one voice was heard claiming the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. repudiate it as an effort of the slave power to encroach upon the Norih. [Loud cheers} The North was not in- jured by it; the injury was done to the South, as I insisted upon at the time, declaring that it was pu the throat of the South, whil abstraction at most, for not would ever be recognized north of 38° 30°. For on the score of poli slavery never could react north of 36° 30’, while south of that line it would be juctive of benefit. Thus it was an ction at best. Bot it was that kind of mis- chievous abstraction that disraptured the bonds that conneeted the two sections, and created apprehensions in the minds of the people of the North, that the South were struggling for dominion, al- — barren sceptre for it at at . SOUTHERN SLAVERY. As to the institution of southern sla- very, he continued, we found slaves in the country, and we use them. We use them, but do not abuse them. We must use them, or where would your cotton mills be—in what condition would they be placed? It may be said that this is mere cupidity—a very sordid view ef the question—but he would appeal to all common sense if it was not the real and just view? Slaves were there, and were not fitted for any other situation: the work could not be done by other labor, ote emancipation would not benefit the slay. The speaker said that he had spoken plainly. His anxiety to place the sub- ject in its proper light had induced him s9 to speak. All could not think alike. The South did not wish to obtrude upon the North, and so could not be to look kindly on interference with her peculiar province. Let us alone in the possession of our rights, and only our rights, is all we ask. As the Union cannot be severed, so let us live in har- mony. The adaptation of slave labor to the southern climate and produetions was again alluded to. It would be impossi- ble, said the lecturer, to supply one quarter of the demand throughout the country for southern production with white ibe pl —. man could not supply t! ace of the slave; the m is ab adapted to the situation. White laborers there orth die, while the negro grows an ives. The negroes cannot prosper at the North; at the South they live the happiest people of the world. Who said he had ever heard of a negro suicide? If they are unhappy as a race, why should not some of them at least give way to their teclings? Yet he had never heard of an instance of self- destruction in all his life among these people. He, as he had we to the North had seen am: evi of prosperit; and progress. fie saw Staise locking like gridirons, and in every thing show- ing evidences of splendid prosperity. He saw all this, and it delighted him ; but he would ask, could all these railroads and these improv ts have been con- structed without the feip of foreign labor? Would all the native labor of coun- try have built them? [Much laughter, applause, and no little amazement.) It could never have done it. The work was well done and he was glad of it; but, said he, suppose all the improvements at the North were to have been achieved and we had no foreign labor to do the work. Then, he would say, had such been the case, you of the North would have held slaves to this day. (Sensation.) There would have been’ no help for it. It was cheaper here to hire labor than keep slaves, and when this is so in the South, they will send the ‘slaves to Africa rather than keep them among them. ‘The speaker, after stating that he had lectured under much difficulty, and that he had no opportunity for preparation, closed by an earnest appeal to his audi- ence to retain ever in their hearts the love of the Union, and to practice for- bearance toward circumstances that could not be avoided. VISIT TO WARREN STREET CHAPEL. Subsequent to his lecture at the Tem- ple, Gen. Houston, accompanied by Gov. Gardner, paid a visit to the Music Hall, where there was @ concert taking in aid of the Warren street Chapel. The children of the chapel, several hundred in number occupied the seats on the plat- form, and the hall —_ — with a ly appearing audience. pon as- re Ae the platform, the General was introduced to the audience by Rev. Mr. Barnard. He responded in a few words, complimenting the audience before whom he had just lectured as one of the most brilliant before which he had ever ap- peared—and also, neatly introducing a sentiment in favor of the tuity of the Union. Gov. Gardner was also called upon to make a few remarks, which he did briefly and modestly. The choir of children then sang Hail Columbia, after which Mr. Houston retired amid the cheering of the assemblage. The Gov- ernor and Senator then went to the Faneuil Hall ball.
