SENATOR SEWARD ON THE ‘The Black Republicans in Albany — Mass Meeting at the Capitol, Aruast, October 12, 1855, The abolition whig fusionists held a ratification mecting at the Capito! this evening. Great efforts had been made to secure a large attendance. The city for two days had been profusely placarded with invitations to the “friends of freedom” to rally and give a hearty receplicn to Sena- tor W. H. Seward and General Nye, who were announced as the orators of the occasion, But the elements were decidedly unpropitious, It was wet all day, and towarde, evening the rain poured down in torrents. Nevertheless, by the aid of a band of music stationed in the square in front of the capitol, and sundry bonfires which the boys bad bard work to keep burning, severa! thousands of persons were gathered together. The meeting was or- ganized at Lalf-past seven o'clock, by the appointment of Mayor Parmzzer as President, and the ‘ollow iug Vice Pre- sidents and Secretaries:— VICE PRESIDENTS, Mich. Clarke, De:mott DeWitt, Morris F. Viele, James Taylor, George W. Lather, €, DeForest T. Belknap, Aug. Migguel, FE. 8 Willett, 3B, Shear. ©. W. Chapin, PRETARIES, Charles Bell. D. 8. Pierce, James H. Carroll, W. H. Rice. Mayor l’annetee briefly stated the objects of the meet- sing. Mr. Droparvs Wricnt moved the appointment of acom Tuittee of five to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting; and such committee, having been appoint- ed by the Chair, subsequently presented the subjoined ‘resolutions, which were adopted by the meeting nem con:— Resolved, That, cordially approving the joint action of the whig and republican conventions at Syracuse, and dis- regarding past political names and as: tions, we unite for the preservation and tion of the U turning the government a ‘its interests, to the poli declaraticn of rights, in their constitution, and in their congressional acts and ordinances, for extending freedom inptead of slavery. Resolved, That to this end we invite all who believe ‘that freedom is more national than slavery to join with us in establishing tha’ principle of refusing admission to any new State, unless eet territory, by restoring e freedom to Kansas and Neb +f resisting encroachments of the federal judiciary, and by main- taining the equal rights of all men, whatever their race or birth, in our own State and in the national domain. Hon. W. H. Sswarp waa then introduced to the meet- ing, and was enthusiastically cheered. His speech, how- ever, did not elicit much applause, Perhaps it was be- cause of the weather; but somehow or other there was Jess than tho usual enthusiasm at such assemblagos, Mr, Seward spoke as follows:— Hail to the capitol of New York! Venerable for its antiquity, ana yet ished for its loyalty to pro- . liberty and Union, This capitol is dear tome. It 8 more than once sent me abroad with honorable functions, and even in those adverse seasons which have hap to me, as they must happen to all representa- tive men, it bas never to receive me at home again with sympathy and kindness, Doubly honored be the banner of the stars and stripes which here takes on its ‘highest significance as it waves over the halls where “equal representatives make the laws which regulate the lives"of equal freemen. Honored be the statute of Justice that surmounts the dome above us! Blind, that she may not through either pagtion or prejadice, discrimi. wate between the rich and the poor, the Protestant and ‘the Catholic, the native-borg ani the exotic, the freeman ‘and him whose liberties have been cloven down, and weighing with exact balence the rights of all classes and vall races of mon. Old familiar echoes t my ear from beneath these embowered roofs! The voices of the fe rode of Kent ana Van Rensselaer and Van Vechten, nial Tompkins, of Clinton the great, and the elder Clinton, of King and Hamilton, of Jay the pure and benevolent, and Schuyler the gallant and inflexible. The very air that lingers around arches brings inspira- tions of moral, social, and physical enterprise, andof un- conquerable freedom. You, old, tried, familiar friends, ask my counsel whether fo cling yet longer to traditional controversies and to dissolving parties, or to rise at once to nobler aims with uew and more energetic associations? I do not wonder at your suspense, nor do I censure caution or even timidity. Vickleness in political associations is ‘& weakness, avd precipitancy in public action is a crime, Considered by itself it is rtunate to be obliged to se- rate from au old party and to institute a new one. The new one may exhibit more enthusiasm for a time, but it must also for a time lack cohesion and discipline. The names of parties are generally arbitrary and not at all indicative of their characters or purposes. A gene- Tous man will, nevertheless, cling, as if it were a family altar, to a name that has’ long been a rallying cry for himself and his compatriots. The great yuestion before us, however, is to be decided not by feeling, but under the counsels of reason and pa- triotism. It was the last injunction given by the last one of the Kevolutionary Congreases to the American people, never to torget that the cause of America had ale ways been and that it must ever continue to be the cause of huwan vature. The question then ix, what is the course dictated to us by our love of country and of hu- manity? . ‘This gation was founded on the simple and practically now principie cf the eynal and inalienable rights of all men, ard therefore it necessarily became a lic. Other governments, founded on the ancient principle o the inequality of mer, are by force of an equal necessity monareties or aristocracies. Whenever a government of either of these kinds loses by lapse of time and change of circumstances its elemen’ privelple, whethar of equality or inequality, thenceforward it takes a rapid and irresistible course towards a reorganization of the oppo- site kind. No one here or elsewhere is so disloyal to his country or to mankind as to be willing to see our repub Jican system fail, All Wiad that in every case and througout all hazards, aristocracy must be abhorved and avoided and republican institutions must be defended and reserved yw ‘Think it not strange or extravagant when I say that an ‘aristocracy bas already arisen here, and that it is aiready undermining the republic. An aristocracy could not arise in any country where there was no privileged class and no special foundation on which such a class gculd “permanently stand. Ou the contrary, Btate, wever republican its constitution may be, ‘is sure to become an aristocracy sooner or later, if it hasa class standing firmly on an endaring apecia! oe and it = a is continually a stronger and stronger, an: unprivileged el pot growing weaker and wesker. It ensential to a privileged class that it rest on tenures, or on mili command, or on ecclesiastical authority, or that its rights be hereditary, or eve that it be distinguished by titles of honor. It may be even the more inridious and the more dangerous for lacking all en vecause it will be less obnoxious to popu- lar hoat a A priieged class has existed in thix conntry from an early period of its settlement. Slaveholders constitute that dass. ‘They have a ppectal foundation’ on which to atand, namely, dominion over slaves. Con- science and “ forbid all men rie a ‘ing slaves ; but some Wsregard injunction. Bone of the States enforce the inhibition; other States neglect or refuse to enforce it. In such of the States - there are three hundred and fifty thousand citizens who avail themselves of this indulgence, and these, Ut by the laws of those States, constitute a privi- ss. They confess themselves to be such a class they designate the system of slavery asa peculiar institution. ‘The spirit of the revoluti age was adverse to that privileged cinss. America and Burope were zealously en- geged then in prosecuting what was expected to bea speedy, complete and universal abolition of African slave. ry. Nearly all the privileged classes admitted that slave- as & permanent system, was indefensible, and favored A removal. Tney asked only what seemed by no means unreasonable, some securities against a sudden, rash and violent removal of the evil. Under these cireumstances even the most decided its of slavery consented to gome provisions of the Federal constitution, which were inconsistent with the stern logic of equality that pervaded all ite other parts, and fed the whole of the Decla- ration 6f American Ji dence, on which the constitu- tion itself was based. We are not to censure the fathers for these concessions; they had a union of the States to create, and to their ardent and ‘minds the volun- removal of slavery action of the several Btates themselves, without Federal interference, seemed not only certain but close at hand. ‘These provisions of the cons‘itutlon were:— 1 pal foreign slave trade should not be abolished before 1 2. That any law or regulation which. State might establish in favor of freedom, ehould ‘aot iuipaie the ie remedy then supposed to exist by common law, for recapture, by Process, in such State, of fugitives from labor or service, escay from other States. 8. That three-fifths of ves should be counted in settling the basis of 1 tation in the several States, These three which in themselves seem very limited and aimost harmless, are all that the fa- thers consciously mude to the privileged class. i classes always know well Low to improve waaay which the constitution or Jaws orn ong aoe were Seige F bm aired from two other provisions of the constitution First, That ‘which makes the State authorit “ Fo ges a t) ¥ independent Sounlley ig ha nt’ eee aay oer. veing vi 0 mu in its nature be Tat vovision, whieh, out of tenderness to thy vmall States gives them a representation in the Senat equal to that of the Jargeet State, Freedom bnilis grea States; slavery multiplies small States and even dwarf great ones. Thus we see that the American slaveholiers are a pri- vileged cliss, standing on a special and permanent foun- dation, and that they are protected in their advantages ie Mi gs law. aA ht show a priori that a privileges class, thas “en on an exceptional principle, that i* wrong in itself and antagonistic to the fundamental principle of the government, must necessarily be dangerous if it be suffered to expand and sggrandize itself. it unhappily we are not to the necessity of resorting to speculation on that sniject.

Unlocked for events have lent to the privileged clasa advantages which haye more than counterbalanced the adverse effects of this early rational legislation. The in- vention of the cotton Ca which lad separates the seed from the fibre, has made cot'on an al Perclusive - cultural staple in the States of the privileged class, and an eminent commercial staple of the whole country. The national territory has necessarily been en! from time to time to accommodate an overgrowi population ant an ever increasing commerce, vere by these cireum- stances the privileged class have at the same time found in a home production of slaves, in Maryland and Virginia nd other Sta compensation for the loss of the Afri- can slave trade; and they have not been slothful in un- learning all the fears and dismissing ail the timidity and conciliation which marked their conduct during and im- diately after the Revolutionary war. of Kentucky, Tennessee, Miasissippland Alabama as slave holding States into the Union seemed to be unavoidable, inasmuch as they were the overgrowth of some of the old thirteen States; and thus there new States south of the Ohio balancing the growing free States north of that river, a sort of bainnce was maintained between the pri- vileged aud the unprivileged classes which it was thought not necestary to disturb. This was the first final parti- tion of the unsettled territory of the United States be- tween those classes. In 1804 France ceded to the United States a broad bel’ stretching along the western bank of the Mississippi, from the British possessions on the North to the Spanish province of Texas on the South. This acquisition which ‘was equally necessary for the safety of the country and for the uses of commerce, stimulated the desire of the priv ed class tor an extension of their territory and an aggrandizement of their Vy New Orleans, situated practically on the coast of the Gulf of Mexieo,was already at once, an ancient slavel colony, andan oie commercial mart. It lay contiguous to the slaveholding States, Under these circumstances, it was, without any resistance, Koon and admitted into the Union, with its ancient laws and customs tolerating slavery. St. Louis, though destined to acquire great commercial im- pertance, was as Rhed an inconsiderable town, with few slaveholders and laves, The Mississippi only divided it from the Northwest Territory which was already conse- crated to freedom. The best interests of the country re- Fe and humanity demanded that the Ordinance of 787, should be extended across the Mississippi, The privil class, however, took ion of the region sround St. Louis, and partial settlements lower down on the west bank of the Mississippi. St. Louls and its environs matured as a State in 1819, and demanded admissian with slavery into the Union, Then only thirty. two yenra after the passage of the ordinance of 1787, ami afier ite unanimous ratification by tae American people, the privileged class made common cause with the new slay ing State, and assuming a tone at once bold, insolant and menacing, they denied power of Congress, alahough in the Ter- ritories it was su] and exclusive, equally su- Fegulate at all ogalnrt Ghele priviloges tn the Territories, late at al cir e Territories, ‘or to refuse pole nh toa new fate, ‘on the ground of its refusal to surrender or abate those pitvileges; and they threatened in one loud yoice to subvert the Union, if Misronri should be rejected, The privil class were backed then by the Senate of the United States, as they have been backed on all similar occasions since that time. ‘they were met, however, with firmness and decision by the unprivileged class in the House of Kepresentatives, and so Missouri failed then to be admitted aa a slaye State. The privileged class resorted to a new form of strategy, the strategy of compromise, They offered to be satisfied if Missouri only should be admitted as a slave State, while Congress aoe youn slavery forever in ailthe residue of that part of the Louisiana purchase which lay north of the parallel of 36 deg. 30 min. of north latitude—the Territory: lying between that’ parallel Ne: and the province of Texas, and constituting what is now the State of Arkansas, being left by implication to slavery. This compromise was accepted, and imme- thus diplomacy obtained for the priviledged class diate advantages which had been denied to their clamor and passion, This compromise, however, could have only the authority of arepealable act of Co . 80 far as the prohibition of slavery north of 86 deg. 30 min. was concerned. Wise and t men contrived extraordinary forms to bind the faith of the privileged class to that per- petual inhibition. ‘They gave to the compromise the na- tore and form of a contract, with mutual equivalents between the pa ed class and the es Habe class, ich it would be dishonorable and perfidious on the par privileged class, at any time, on any grounds, or unter any circumstances, to annul or revoke, or even to draw in question, They proclaimed it to be 4 contract proper to be submitted to the people themselves for their ratification in the popular elections. It was 80 submitted to the people, and so ratified by them. By virtue of this compromise Missouri came immediately into the Union as a slave State, and Arkansas followed soon afterwards as a slave State, while, with the exception of Missouri, the Ordinance of 1787, by virtue of the same compromise, was extended across the Mississippi, along the parailel of 36 deg. 40 min. to the Rooky fountains. ‘Thus, and with such solemnities, was the strife of the privileged class of slaveholders fcr aggrandizement of territory, a second time, finally compromised nnd forever settled. It is not my purpose to discuss the policy or the jus- tice of that great setilement. As in the case of the Con- stitution, the responsibility for that great measure rests with « generation that bas passed away. We bave to deal with it orly as a fact, aud with the state of affairs that was established by it. ‘the occupation of the new region west of the Mississip- pi, which bad thus been saved for freedom, was artfully postponed indefinitely, by dedicating it as a home fur the concentrated but perishing Indian tribes. It sounds in favor of the humanity of the unprivileged class, if not of their prudence, that they neither remonstrated nor com- plained of that dedication, ‘The success of the privileged class, in securiag to themselves immediate possession of Missouri and Araan- sas in exchange for the reversionary interest of the un- privileged class in the remainder of the Lousiana pur chase, stimulated them to move for new national pur- chases of domain, which might yield them farther aequisi- tions. Spain was unable to retain longer the slaveholling provinces of Fast Flurida and West Florida which lay ad- jacent to the slave States. They fell to the United “tates by an easy purchase, and the privileged class with due ailigence procured thelr organization ws a State and its | acmiesion into the Union. The spell of territorial ag- grapdicement had fallen on the United States ot America, and simultaneously the spell of dis- solution had fallen on the United States of Mexico, The privileged class on our side of the border entered Texas, established slavery there in violation of Mexican laws, detached that territory from Mexico, and organized it a3 an independent sovereign State. Texas, thus independent and fovereign, sought annexation to the United States. in the very hour when the virtue of asufficient number of the unprivileged classes was giv- ing way to effect a constitutional annexation of Texas, the President of the United States, with a Senate not less subservient to the pri class, executed a roup d'etat, by which that State unlawfully, and in defiance of afl recedent, came into the Union under a covenant stipu- ling that four new slave States might be created out of its territory and admitted as slave States, while, by a so- lem mockery, an inconstder it that lay north of 26 deg. 30 min, was ostentatiously dedicated to freedom. ‘There remained no other new territory within the | nited States, #0 by this strange partition of Texas there was a ihird final settlement of the pretensions of the privi- Hieged clase; and it was eequiesced in by the anprivi- leged class, who thought themselves secure in the old Northwest territory by the ordinance of 1807, and equally safe in Kansas and Nebraska by the Missouri compromise. The public repose that followed the annexation of Texas wos of short duration. Moxieo resented that offence. A ‘war ensued and terminated in the transfer of the entire norihern portions of Mexico to the United States. The Mexican municipal laws forbade slavery everywhere, and the new possessions were under that law. Nota whit the teas for that reavon did the leged class demand either an equal partition, or that the whole suonid be opened to their colonization with slaves. The House of epresentatives tesisted these pretensions, as it had re- sisted similar ones before; out the Fenate seconded the privileged class with its accustomed zeal. 89 Congress was divided, and failed to organize eivil governments for the newly acquired Mexican ferritories, and thuy were Jet under martial law, The question raised by the privi- leged class went down to the electors, The people Foye filled the House of Representatives with a nia > jority sternly oppoced to the extension of slavery the readth of a je equare mile, They increased the force of the unprivileges class in the Seuate, while the: called to the Presidency General Taylor, who, althoug! himself a slaye holder, was committed to non-faterven- tion on the question in G and to execute faithfa.ly whstever constitutional laws 6 shoul! adopt. Under these clreumstances, California and Mew Mexico— youthful communities—practically free from slavery, and uncorrupted by the seductions of the priviloged class of its political organs, hastened to establish con- stitutions and apply for andmission as free States, while the eceentris population of Deseret, indulging latitutina- and of poli- tian principles equally in matters at reli ties, ware te be recéived into the Union as a State or as a Territory, and with or without slavery, as Congross should prescribe. The privileged class’ remonatrated, and @ seditious movement was organized in their behalt in the slaveholding States to overawe Congress if Fe ble, and to inaugurate revolution if their menaces {ailed, You all know well the way of that memorable eontro- versy. How eminent men yielded to the menaces with- out waiting for the revolution, and projected and ten- dered to the privileged class a new compromise, modelied after the already time honored com ine of 1820, You all know how firmly, notwithstanding this defection of leaders, honored and beloved, the House of Representa- tives, and even the senate, led the compromise, and bow firmly the npriviige class of freemen through- out the Union, demanded the unqualified and uncondi- tional admission of California }o the Union, and re- fused to allotany further Territories to the privileged clase for the extension of the aystem of human bondage. You all remember, too, how ina critical hour the Pre- dident tickened and died, and p and of all the people swooned at his grave: and thence- forward all was lost, You remember how the provisional suecessor of that {lamented President, with ominous baste, accepted the resignation of his cabinet and committed the seals to a new one . ike bod velf, to the adoption of the eampromiee, which the had eondemned, an’ how at after a painful struggle, its adoption was effected. 1 think, also, that you have not thur soon forgotten the terms of that compromise, the fourth final and everlasting settlement of the coniiict he- ‘tween the privileged and unprivileged class of this Uo Me. You bave not forgotten how the ordinance of 1787, which exeluded ete | rom the region northwest of Ghio, was left to stand os am institution too sacred to be even questioned, How the§Missourl Yompromise, which extended that ordinance acroas the Mississippi, and over all Kansas and Nebraska, was made at once the authority ecedent, and formula of the new compromise, and even Reclared to be on irrepealable law forever. How Cullfor- vin, which refused to become a slave State, waa g udeing- ly admitted into the Union av a free one. How the lote- ful and detestable slave auctions were banished from uo der the eaves of the Capitol, quite acros he opporite baste of the Potomac :iver. And bow in consideration of these magna: vivileged class, it was stipuiat be continued’ tn the Dist: long a8 the priviloget class shoul! require ite con tinuaner. New Mexico, with her free onas‘itution, «a st pcvehiourly remended to her nattye moantaine, while without a Ueerisg, ber ancient and fre. territory was nimons ani vast eoncessions mace by the jes that slavery saoa! let of Columbia admission, di and its fairest part tran-ferred to Texas, with the a: of ten as of dollars, to win itt act by that defiant privileged State. You remem- ber how it was polesuniy stipulated hat Utah and New Mixico, if the slaveholders «oq corrupt them, should ag Bn Ry Se ater; 5 ly, how the priv! d class, 80 offended and exasperated, were brought to secept fais compromise on.t) part, by a re-enactment of then obsolete fugitive slave law of 1703, with the addition of the revolting features of an attempted suspension of the beas corpus) an absclute prohibition of the trial by jury; an effective repeat of vital rules of procedure aud evidence: ant the substitution of commissioners in place of courts of justice in derogation of the constitution, You all” remember how taboriously and ostentstiously this compromise was associated with the time honered forms and solemnities of the Missouri Compromixe—how it wus declared not the result of mere ordinary legislation, but a contract with mutual equivalents by the privileged with the unprivileged class, irrepealable and even unamenda le without perddy, and even treason against the covstitution ‘and “the Union, You all remember how, notwithstanding your protests and mine, it was urgently, viclentiy, clamorously ratified and con- firmed, as @ full, fair, final and perpetual adjustment by the two great politica! conventions of the country, repre- senting the whole people of the United States at Balti- more in 1852; and how the heroic and generous Scott was rejected to bring into the Presidency one who might more safely be trusted to defend and preserve and estab- lish it forever. Nevertheless, scarcely one year had elapsed before the Privileged class, using some of our own representatives as their instruments, broke up not only this compromise of 1850, but even tle compromise of 1820, and the ordl- nance of 1787, and obtained virtually the declaration of Congress that all these settlements, #o far as they were adverse to the privil clsas, were unconstitutional ususpations of legislative power, 1 do not stop to stigmatize or even to characterize these ressions. Of what use would it be to charge perfidy, when the losses we deplore have resulted (com our own, imbecility andfcowardice? 1 do not dwell, as others so often and a0 justly do, upon the atrocious usurpati the government Kanvas by the slaveholdera of Mis- souri, nor even on the barbarous and tyrannical code which they have established to stifle freedom in that Territory, mor even yet on the fraudulent and nefarious connivance of the President with the usurpers. Nor will I draw into this picture, already too darkly shaded, the personal bumilia- tions ‘which daily come home to yourselves in the conduct of your own affairs, You are commanded by an unconstitutional law Cf ingress to seize and deliver up to the members of that privileged class their fugitive slaves, under of imprisonment and forfeiture of your estates. You may not interpose between the armed olay and the wounded slave, to prevent his being murdered, without coming under arrest for treason, nor may you cover his naked and lacerated limbs except by stealth. You have fought twenty years and with but partial suecess for the constitutional right to lay your re- monstrances on the table of Congress, You may not tell the freed slave who reaches your borders that he is free, without being seized by a federal court and condemned, without a trial, or even an accusation, to an imprison: ment without bail or mainprize, and without limitation of sentence. Your representatives in either house of Congress must speak with bated breath and humbled countenance in presence of the representatives of the privileged clasa, lest justice be denied to your old soldiera when they claim their pensions, or toyour laborers when they.claim the performance of their ‘contracts with the government. e President of the United States is reduced to the position of a deputy of the privileged class, ean ng, the treasury and $Ymarshalling bat- talions and ships cf war to dragoon you into the execution of the fugitive slave law on the one hand, while he removes Governors and Judges at their com- mand, who attempt to maintain lawful and constitutional resistance against them in the Territory of Kansas. ‘The Vice President of the United States and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, are safe men, whom the privileged class can trust in every case, The care of tle udiciary, of the Territories, and even of the Foreign Re- lations, is intrusted in either house to assured supporters ofthat class. Protection is denied to your wool, while it is kaley 4 given to the slaveholder’s sugar. Millions of acres ofthe public domain are freely given to Alabama for railreads, and even as gratuities, while not @ dollar can be obtnined to remove the rocks of Hellgate and tho sands of the Overslaugh, or the bars in Lake St. Clair, or inthe mouths of your lake harbors. Canada, lying all along your Northern borders, must not even be looked upon, lest you may lust after,it, while millions upon mil- lions are lavished in war and diplomacy to annex and spread slavery over Lonisiana, Florida, ‘Texas, Mexico, Cuba and Central America. Your liberty of speech, where is it? You may not, without severe rebuke, speak of despotiem in forelga lands, lest the slave overhear youon the plantations of the privil class, or the loreign aespot visit them, in rgtaliat for your une availing sympathy. The National flag, the em- lem of universal liberty, covers eargoes of slaves not only in your own view, bnt finunts deflance over “hem in foreign ports, Judges of the United States Courts, safe under the protection of the Presitent and Senate, d Juries, in advance of any question federal lows are constita- igatory; they give counsel to legislative bodies how to frame laws which they will sustain, instead of woiting to review those laws when enacted. They even convert the writ of freedom to an engine of slavery, and they pervert the power of punishing irregularities com- mitted in their presence into the machinery of a tyranny ‘as odious ox thet of the Star Chamber. Tho privilegeil class in Virginia imprison your seamen in their retaliation for the fodependence of your Executive thofities; and you are already inn doubtful strogyle for the right to exclude the trafic of slayes from your own borders. 1 will only ask, in concluding this humiliating re. Leoreul, whether there is not in this privileged eonntry a privileged clasr—whether it does ‘ot wand on an endur- fn ng foundation—whether it is not growing steonger and airenger, while the unprivileged class grows woaker and we er t—whetlier its further growth and extent would not not mevelg detrin ental, but dangerous? aud whether there is any hope to arrest that growth and extension hereafter if the attempt shall not be made now? ¢ change that has become at last so necessary ia ax to be made as it ix necessary. The whole number of slaveholiers is only £50,000—one hundredth part of the | entire population of the country, If you add their | parents, children, immediate relatives and dependents, } they are two millione—one fifteenth part of the American | peopie. Slavery isnot and never can be perpetual. It will be overthrown either peacefully and lawfully under this constitution, or it will work the subversion of the constitution tegether with its own overthrow, Tl slaveholders would perth in the struggle. con now be made without violence, and by the ballot box. The temper of the nation is j forvent It will contribute any money an any sacritices to effect this gow and im ant chan| , it ishalf made already. ‘The Hy tives is already yours, as it always mus chocre tohave it.

The Privileged class who had debauched it, abaudoned it, bo- cause thoy knew that it could not vie with its rival in the humilisting service it proffered them, and now there is neither whig party nor whig south of the Potomac, How is it in the unprivil States? Out of New York, the lovers of freedom, disgusted with its profana- tion, forsook It, and marched into any and every other Organization. We have maintained if here, and in ite purity, until the aiders and abettors of the privileged clasts, in retaliation, have wounded it on all sides, and it is now mapifestly no longer able to maintain and car- ry forward, alone and unaided, the great revolution that itinavgurated. He is unfit for a «tatestnan, although he may be a patriot, who. will cling even to an honored and fairbful association, when it is reduced so low in strength and numbers as to be entirely ineffectual, amid the con- parties by which republics are saved. Au} reduced so low, must ultimately dwindle and dwart into a mere faction.’ Let, then, the whig party f Tt committed a grievous fault, and grievously it answered ft. Let it march out of the fleld, there- fore, with all the honors, ‘The principles of true democrats and the principles of true whigs remain throughou: changes o parties and are sound, ey are nocensisa, of men, and so far as th rily the same, Such trueWemocrats and true whigs are now rer dy to unite on those sound principles common to both. Neither of these two classes can or ought to insist on fercing a defective organization, with a stained ban- ner, upon the other. The republican o tion has ragaciously seen thix, and mi imously laid a now, round and iberal platform, broad enough for both classes to stand upon. Its principles. are equal and exact jus- tice; its speech open, decided, and Its banner is untorn in former battles, and unsullied by past errors. ‘That is the party for us, 1 do not know that it will al- ways, or even long preserve its courage, its moderation, ano its consistency, If it shall do so, it will rescue and save the country. if it, too, shall become unfaithful, as all preceding parties have done, it will, without sorrow or regret on my part, perish as they are perishing, and will give place to another, traer and better one, So long as the republican party shall be firm and faith- ful to the constitution, the Union, and the rights of man, I sball serve it, with the reservation of personal indo” pendence which is my birthright; but at the sane time with the zeal and devotion that patriotiam allows and en- jeins. Ido not know, and, personally, Ido not greatly care, that it ‘sball workout {te great ends this year or the next, or In my lifetime; because [ know that those ends are ultimately sure, and that time and trial are the ele- ments which make all great reformations sure and last- ing. Thave not thus far lived for personal ends or tem- porary fame, and 1 cball not begin so late to live or labor for them, ve hcped that ight leave my country somewhat worthier of a lofty destiny, and with somewhat safer guarantees for the equal rights of man, A reason- able ambition must always be satistied with sincere and practical endeavors. If among those who shall come after us, there shall be any curlous inquirer who may chance to scrutinize my public character, he shall be obliged to confess that however unsuccessfully 1 labored fer generous ends, yet that I was ever faithful—ever hopeful.
