Nothing lees than the abridgement of the Debates in Congress—the debates from 1789 to the present day— fo aa to bring them down to the tend future ge nerations records of the wisdom of our forefathers. I went ac to commence the abridgement of that great work, ime 1 bay absent I have done Cee have abridged ‘he administration jashington, eight years; the administration of Jobn Adams, four years; and I om two years deep in Jefferson’s administration. ' The publishers are far advanced with the it far in advance of the publisher and his that I felt free to run oif fora while and en- gage in the conclusion of the cam; m2 in Missour!. It ‘was in the forenoon of Thursday last that I sent off to the publishers the last instalment of the copy they needed for the volume in the prees. At four and a’ half o’clock the tame evening I threw myself into the cars, and coming night and day, three nights aad two days, without rest or sleep, and mciliing myself up in @ corner of the seat, #0 that I was ecarceiy found out by the tel ph wires or printers that were on the road, and who would tell the news before arrived, a { brought my own news with me; and when I speak to you of that three bights and two days without sleep, in which I made the travel from Washington City to this place, I do not tell it for the purpose of making an exeuse for the imperfec- tions of my speech. { do not want to make you believe that I bave suilered so much in this hasty fravel that I can’t do as weilas I would. I fee! as at this mo- ment, or when I arrived hore, as when [set out; and I could have done no better bad I come by the most geptie stages, I arrived amonz you, fellow citi. zens, fresh, vigorove and full of hope; and now I will say to you that, in my summer work, in looking over the debates of the early Congress, although I have looked into them much before, I still found mucb that bad cecaped me, and I find that there is no subject that occupies Our attention at this time that has not occu; ibe attention of ouriorefathers in the carlier of their existence, | can say to our friends, Know Nothings, that everything bearing upon their questions, Pro and con, is in those carly debates, for on the three diferent paturalization laws that were passed—one for three years one for feurteen, and one for five years’ re- sidence—all was said tbat could be said pro and con. ‘That is one of the questions of the present day that we find there discuseed. But to drop these and come to the absorbing question of the day, We find the old question, ia all its forms, in the early bistory of our government, We find the subject of slavery in the very of the government, brought up by PO eagle by Dr. Frapkiin, ing for the abolition slavery in the United States it received a general rejection by vote from all parties. When I mention Franklin’s name, you can atl feel at once a with, im there vas totbip, ut @ — philantl Dg, an had pe other fecling than what was phitsmtbrople. More than that—a fow 5 ears later—further petitions were pre- sented on the subject. These petitions were by Northern mea—men from the free States—and among those who were eminent and foremost in speaking against them were thore who by education, by all their pripeiples, and, if you choose, by their prejudices, who were the most to slavery. I will name Mr. Geilardet. He said be was a citizeo—be was bora in the republic ¢f Geneva, where no such institution existed, apd he was against it, living in the State of Pennsylvania, where no such institution existed. He was there, with the rest of the community, entively against the jastitution; but it existed in eur Union; it, was acknowledged by ‘he constitution, compromises upon it entered into th» copstituien, apd witbout these compromises no constitu tion could bave been formed. He was therefore to the di.tur! ance of the que=tiou—not merely to dis- turbance of the right of the owner—not merely tw destroying the right or title of any owner—Dbut he was against annoying them even, He was against making them upensy sbovt their property; and im that point of view it was taken up by the early Con- greta. They said, when we meet here in these baths, we are not as in our States, where we may do as we please, but here where members come from ali tne States, where com) have been entered into on the subject, without wi £O constitution could have been framed: no one is to bave bis Seclings injured by bring- ing up the subject in these memorials. Yer, sirs, that ‘was the language of members of Congress from free States, for they took the debaters chiefly from those States. ‘We do as we picase—we oppose the extension of siavery— but as to those that have entered this bond of union with us, we must meet as brothers mee}, and nothing must be said or dome to annoy their feelings.’ (Warm applause.) And in the last vote they took on this sulyect, the tion, One re bean exception only, because the resi *tropg enovgb, sr Gaillardet expressed bimself on it, He waid the emancipation of the slaves would be a calam|- ty to the country.
