Bus, feliow citizens, 1% does geem to me that we have otbor questions which interest us, fa th's country besides this question of clavers—and questions, too, to which we ehoule pay a gocd des! of attention. 1 proposs, before I talk about slavery, to call your attention to eome acts of federal legitiation, Afew years ago Mr. Buchanan was look ig for tbe nomination for the Presidency. In 1852 he wrote a letter from Wheatlend. In that letter he said, iutenomg that is sbould be read by the American people, that Gur finaccia: affairs were in a bad way; that our ex- Ppendivres bad a'ready reached the enormous sum of ifsy millions of dojlazs, and that unless the democracy put forth iis strong arm and resisted this tendency to extrava- gence, there wus reason to that in the course of Some sbort time the expenditures would reach the sum of ere bundrea miijions of dollars There waa no knowing tbat if the democracy did not put forth ite strong arms but the expeoses of the govern nent would swell to the enormous sum of one huadred mil. hundred negroes from « siave and tho tab afn tes Rosanee ease aes ae jure! , Buchonan finda it dangerous to.abuse yatoront whion is in favor of tho slave trade, lost he fad ibaa to gecure the nom {pation to Charletton. Slave is revived, aud pow the only queation is, whether the laws which p:o my democratic ¥ are Lot going to convent to ita re mise; so they of evory been hibit it pball be repealed or not.

Then, a8 I have said already, that will | not be all; but they will claim that slaves once introduced | into the country may be sent into the free States; and you } if not the African slave trade, at least the American trado revived im all the States. Some paoplo will that this is all imagination, but, my fellow ciiizans, 1 | bave seen the workings and ‘this party for the last Afteen or twenty years. I have observed tuom all tho while, azd I have, from time to time, lifted up my voice ip warning of the aggressions sought to ba made. T havo always found that covery thing that [ su; take place has been transceaded by that wi bas takoo | place. Idid cot dream ® fow years ago, when I resia! ta the Senate at Washington, tho Fugitive Slave act, th the measure would be endorsed by the democratic | party, and inscribed oa their banner in the election of | ® President. But I saw it done, mitted to the Fugitive Slave act and the Compromi rr py id jp reserve for us. uarantee of freedom, by which the Terri & homes for free men, was to be br: was protected an free the prohibition of lions of dollars. Well, now, Mr, Buchanan was elected in 1856, a8 weallkuow. I did not vote for nim, and a gcod many of you did not. but some of you did, to your great sorrow, (Lavghier.) Well, he was elected, Tate, and what did no do? Why, he pat forth his strong Gemocratic arm, butit had the opposite effect from what be baa predicted ix bia letiers. Instead of arresting ex- | travagacce, it propelled it, and in the first year of his ad minigization the expenditures of the government were | about sixty five mibions of dollars. Tasy bad already reached tue enormous sum of Gity millions whin he went into offiee. Now they were raised to sixty-five miilioas, In 1858 the strcng Gemecratic arm was siill extended | end iil! in action, aud the expenditures of the govern: | ment went up, inetead of down, to eighty-one millions of dotiazs, I bede To 1859, this year, x8 you koow, mach | to your sorrow, this strong democratic arm still extents, nd the expendiiures, according t> the estimates mace by your own able, intelligent and excol- lent meiber of Coogresa, go up to ninety-ono mil- tions Of dollars. Next year, wen this strong democratic arm wilt be still extendea for tho last time (we will dave to be thankfol for that), there ix every reason for the epcouraging expectation that Mr. Bachanan’s pro- phecy will be fulfiliod, and the exoenditures will bo raged to over one huodred millions of dollars. Wast do my Cemooratic brethren think of that? There is the arm. Iy is emocratic. There ig the expenditure. Nobody can question that. But this isa matter which is no} worthy Ube attention of democratic orators; they aro satisied with the extension of ths demovraticarm; but I think the prone are interested in it, therefore I speak of it. Ia re- gard to the question of slavery—for as I said at the out- Set, alibougn there are other questions of iaterest whisn it becomes en inteiligen people to think of most seriously, there tg etiil this great qucetion of slavery coming into our Stato and national affaire, which deserves eerious con- giderstion, The republican Legislature, kaowing that the slavcholders claim the right to pass tnrouga the treo States with thelr slaves, aad to hold them as slaves during whatever time may be required for ther conyeniorce in pasting through—toe republi- con Legigiature, in viow of this fact, passed aa act 10 pro- bibi, slavebolding im Qnio. You all know that toere is a case now pending before the Supreme Couri, called the Lemon case. In that case slayes were brought to New York for she purpose of being gent. West or North, through Seversi free states. The owner clatmed his right to do that, end now the question before the Supreme Court ie, since tbe reveral courts refused to recognise that righ:, &nd get those sleves free, whether that right exists or not. 1 have ro doubt as to how thst question will be decided, that is, it a democratic admizi'ration continues. It wul ‘be dooited in favor of the claim, just as efter the election of Mr. Buchanan the Dred Scott case was decided in favor of the claim tw carry glavery ivto the ferritories. It wili be deciced as is claimed by tue elave power, just 28 soon as they achieve another victory, wpica ldo not beiteve toey will, What will that decivion be? It will be just as ‘thay claim, that they can take their slaves into New York over the railroads of New Jeracy, through Pennsylvania und through Ohio, Indiana and 1/iinois to the slave atates of the fer West, or, a8 it gnits \neir convenience, to any of the South, and that they can hoid them during all the time that it ts convenient for them to be passing through. In ovber words, it is a decisioa io favor, uot of the African nlave trade, but of tho American sive trade, to bo carried on in the free States. Are you prepared for ‘hat? Bat thatis whai is to be dove if that case ia do- cided iu the way ia which it is proposed, and you have tamples epoogh cf the disporition of the federal officials a5 they now exist to carry into effect any law, Do matier how inhuman or cruel, The republican Logistaturo pasted an act to probivit that. What did the democratic Logiela- ture do? They repealed that act, many of the members avowipg that, in their opinion, the siaveholders bad this Tight of traveit, Tocy repealed it, aud gave the soloma panction of your Legistature to the possession of that right, and this will be invoked as the coveent of the demo- party of Oslo before the Supreme Court, rad of a mojority of the people ef the State of Ohlo, who, it wil be presumed, elected that Legislature pledged to this nefa- rious doctrine, Here is aauiher law you repeated.

At a subsequent period the bill was amended, ou the motion of Mr. Berrien, of Georgia, by atriking out the words “in respect to African slavery,” and in- feitiog & provision to restrain the Territorial Lo gitleture from “establishing or probihiting African slavery.” In that dark period for Southern rights we should not probably have gained even that much but for the conviction on the part of the majority tast slave pro- perty wes suttisiently excluded hy the lex loct_ot Mexico, sud Would require legislation to ertablish it.

Our assertion of a right to protection does not necesssrily iuvolve the enactment of additional laws, nor would any law give secarity unless they were honestiy adminiatered, The position so long betd by the Soutn, that the constitution, as the supreme ia # of the land, extended tothe Cerritories, aud aa it recogaized property im elaves, so suthorized sheir istroauction loto the Territories, the common comaia of the United ‘Sta'oe, baa been aflirmed by the Supreme Court Tos de cree of public, not municipal law, which inhioited siaverr im al ine territory acquired from Mexico, was therefore repealed by its travsier to the jurisdiction cf tho Ualtea States; but if tue rules of proceeaing romalaed unchanged, then all the remedica of the civil law would be avait for the protection cf property ia slaves; or if tas Jangu: of tho organic act, by specifying chancery aud commoa jaw jurisdiction, denies to ws the more ampie remedies of the civil law, ‘hen those knowo 10 ibe comefon law are certainly ia force; and these, I have been assured by the highest avthority, will be found sufficient I¢ this be 80, then we are content.

Our countrymen heve two paths before them, either of which the majority of the States sofef the people are free to choose. Toe one leads by the way of usurpation and tortuous construc: tow, through discord and civil strife, to the destruction of thts best hepe of repubiican government. The other, through peace and prosperity, by tho perpetuity of the iustiintons we inherited, mounts to an eminence which locks down on a@ continent of equal, govereiga, con- federated Statca. We are near, I believe, to the point at which that selection is to be made, Our fathers feared the convulsion which the eicction of a President would produce, Tne next generation regarded the apprehenaion a2 uafomded; to us its resiizssion may be sppointed, because to ue it has been reeerved to wit been the orgenization of a party cceking the postession of the government not for tho common good, uot for their own particalsr bevefit, but as the means of executing a hoetile purpore towards @ portion of the States ‘Tne wac+ cess of Such ® party would indeed produce an “‘irreprersi- bie conflict.” “To you would be presented the question, will you allow the constitutional Union to be chanzed into the deapotism of a msjority?

In tho life time of living men our numbers have swelled from three millions to more than thirty mil- hong. Men yet live who in thoir youth barely heard of this great and beautiful land of youra; and yet, I come here to-day, and as much asIhave heard of Minneso and of your own beantiful city, Jam wonder struck whea I find that with a gromth of bul six or seven years Si, Paul has become one of the most us cities to be found any where in the length and breadth of these United States. Why if we could recall again the great and good men who were chiefly instrumental in creating our na: tionalities, how would they be struck attho splendid re- suits which bave been achioved by your enterprise | Ta0te were the “men who loved their country, and who shed their blood at Charleston and Yorktown and Saratoga; who never dreamed tn their widest dreams that the ro- walt of their labors and sacrifices would be so great and so glorious.

(Applause.) No persona wi think in looking over this country, there would be apyibing but love. But we hear men in certain portious of these United States denounced as bitterly and ag hearti- dy 9 if they ware our enemlen ins of being our ¥ ren aud citizens of this common land of ours, Way ie that good mea have been taught of late years to cherish something like a hatred toward their fellow coun- trymen because they chance to live in circumstances aad under institutions different fromour own? Why is it that we are forgetiul of tue coat at which our liberty was achievec? Why is it that the very institutions which have contributed 20 much to our great rs Ny are held in syoh light regard? Now, lam a Northern man, standing on Northern soil and speaking to Northern men, andin Ryn od the South—ihough [ belleve with (oe Norte that they have men ainong them who are seif- isb-yet aicer all, as a body, I recognise them as patriotic tata, whe love dncir country, as brothers of my owa, wen whom I wish to have iive in the kindly momories of every citizen of this: great and glorious land (applause); therefore, im 8} of tee onlain ape and history of tais oiference between Norihera and Southeru men, I shali epeek of the fauits of the North, as I coosider it im good taste and irue manhood to speak plaivly to those who Lear me and kindly of those who are away. (Appiauee.) When ovr fatbers,on common battle folds were atrug- glog for commoa rights, slavery existed im all our coi. pice; there was 59 exception; it was on every rood of ground, We bad uo d.floulty on account of sisvery, then, imachteving our iedependence. Bat since that time sla very has been aboliwhed over more than balf of the lana of ours, It is now in comparatively contracted Jimits, and now we hear that it muat jead to alieuativa of the people and the disruption of this great confederacy. I fear What we of tne North are unjust, aud not altogether courageous, in our treatment of our brethren of the South Eow came slavery iu there United States? Who brought the negro from Africa? Tho South never bad sbine, The mea of New York, where I came from, the mtn of Maseechusetlf, suc the men of Roode [eland, were those who s:o'e them trom their homes and brought thom overt to the sbambies bere. (Applause) Who laid tne foundations of slavery which underile the institations of moby ot our Siaies? The me was when, over the whole length and breadth of this lave of oura, the people did‘ uot’ recogniae the black min as baving any political righis. Now, my frievds, that is just as true of Mateachusotts as of Scuth Caroliva, and Judge Toney, to 60 stating, merely tta’ed a bistor Sect, and kpown to be go by every stu- cent of bistory. Yoe other day in looking over payers which came ito my bands, | found an original dccameat, 8 bill of ule for a slave from a maga in Massachusetts to a men fo New York, avd that paper throws @ ost remar eule hight over this whole queetion of slavery.

(Langhter.) They id tbe views which laid the foondation ‘of y in the theology of that time, they cold Quekers into slevery—they so!d the taroily of Krog Philip unto slavery. These were ths sen. timenta that exisied in the North in our carly dsys. Woen the covstitution of the United States was formed, when the delegates from the different Siatea met in convention, the question of slavery was there, and it was asked when ebalj the siave trade be put to an end? Georgia says, now; Vir » Bow; South Carolina says, not yet; ot; Rhode Island, lasgachu. Convecticut, not yes, Me 9 kolts, rot yet; and New Hampshire said not yet—tho slave trade ‘a profiable. (Laughter.) i you will read Minot’s “Hiatory of Meseachusetis,” you will learn that the great burinces of New Englend at one time was the manufac- ture of rum—pure rom (iaughfer); and when they made rum, they took it to the coast of Africa apd exchavged it for smves. (Lavghter.) Theelavers lavd their cargoss on tome urfrequented shores of the Southern coast, and fori wit the cutiro Bouth was charged with complicity in th ve trade, But they do not at the same time tell you that tho siave abips are filted out irom New Enagiaud Porte—that the ont to sea on their nefarious glide Voyages beneath tbe shade of Busker Hill. (Loud a: plauge and laughter.) The political power of our country in the hande of the freo States, Te populatioa of the coun- try increases st the rate of a miilion a year; of this increase the North receives over seven bundred thovsant. This large mejority cr the yearly increase hes given the North b th in the confederacy. How came the North by increase? At the outsot we wore equal— listave States. Now, what led to the abolisd ment of clevery ia the North, aad thus gave us the basis of Our present pirongth? I will tell you, my friends, ond you all ktuw it to be #9. Tho democtatic party undor Jefter#on inaugorated the wite and beneficent policy of in- viling the laborer of the oto world to plant himeeif dowa upon the great and fertile plains of our country, Under thie policy the stigrants from Earope flocked to the Northern Stetce, because they found’in their oil and cli- din thelr institutions, a more congenial home. So you gee, my frienas, that it has becn under a pol{cy in- augorated by Southern etatesmen—a policy which found its most bitter opponents at the North—tbat our section bes become all powerful in the government. We have pow a majority in the Senate, in the House of Representa ‘ives, and ja the Electoral College; but the census of 1860 will how that two thirds of the members of the House of Representatives, and an overwhe!ming mojority in the Senate, represent free States. Is this a time, and ars these the circumsteuces under which an ‘ irrepressible conflict” shall be waged ogainst the people and institutions of the weaker section? When the South wae strong and we were weak, they furnished us no preso- dent for the courte of action wo now propose te pursue ogainet them. (Cheers ) These being the truthe which histery teacher, and standing be * I dojat the very head waters of tho m‘ghty Mirsissipp!, wroso arms Jock our coupiry together, tenvhing us a perpetual leasoa of fra- ternal love ena union, I beg you to pause before you enter upon @ sectional warfere which will rive asunder thoss whom God has joined together.

There is an ipetinctive difference between the two pariics, The demo- oratic party is 2 let alone party—tho republican party iz a meddling party. (Desfening cheers.) It ig a great deal essier to dencunce other people for thelr sias than to re for in ourseiver—it is & great deal easier to obtain political power by inflemiog the pasion and prejudices of our nelghdors, by denouncing men a thousand miles away, than it is to gain influence by governing our walk in Ife by the principles of justice or the dictates of @ sound patriotiem. aot | Is it not too trae that the reverse ofthis has been hurtfal tothe morals of our people—and hurtful to the pup, of which I speak with all reverence, and to the boly doctrines which shonld jesus from the sacred derk? (cheers) Is it not too true, my re publican friends that s rifle for Kaness or a cure for the South has weighed more ix the political scale than private virtues or pudtic service? (Tremendous cheering ) Whence comes.etlavery? We have accn who prolonged it. Now, my friends, do you ever etop to inquire who upholds it? Iv is sustained by the firm cf ‘Weaver, Wearer & Planter,”” and two of tho partners live up North. | (Cheors and Jaughter.) Every one knows that but for the looms of New England and Old England it could not live e dey. The loudest denunciations against slavery are made by ten with cotton ehirte on their back. The mont fervent pulpit exbortations egainst slavery come from men who wrap themeclycs for repore at night in cotton sheets; wh? Isy thelr beads upon cotton pillows, and go to sleep thanking God that they are better than the men “ down South.’ (Laughter.) i was called upon some years ago, while Governor of New York, by « deputation of Quakers from Great Britain, to lay before mea “testimony” against slavery. As they wished, I listened to them, We after- warce fell into a conversation, and the question aroze why the people of Europe were #0 oppressed and burdened 80 heavily by taxation, We attributed it to the differencse in their Japguage—the great number ef nationalities, di- vided by imeginary Iines—the patty jenlousies an atrifos, and coneequent necersity for maintaining large stand: irgarmies, We then spoke of the blest condition of Ea rope if all theee rival governments could be moulded into ove, tpoaking a common Isnguage, having common aym. patbies, with no custom houres to anazy, and no etanding armies to threaten; and my Quaker friends warmed with enthugiasm at the glorious picture, and expressed tho carnest with that such a day might dawa, for would come the true mitlenium. “But,” eafd I, “when ail this bes been achieved, suppose tome man sbould riso up in England, and say genial fellowabip among the nations, this community of interest and of jarguage, shai] be destroyed unless serfdom bo abrogated in Kuesia and polygamy in Turkey.
