state so I may ask by-and-by lo have read nn editorial from he same newspaper indorsing fully these resolutions and expressing in language which conforms to the resolutions selves its hearty sympathy with them Il was slated Ihu other duy by an honorable Senator from my State in the winy uf the no Republican paper in the Northwest had ye supported John in liis invasion of the soil ol Virginia the fuel had nol been brought lo hia for il U had he would nol have thn I now in my hand Republican paper from the Slate of Wisconsin which Adoption of English by the vote of tha people cif Kansas under that I they recognized it as an issue gone inlo the past and from that day to this there has been no recognition of any distinction be- tween Democrats in the State Looking lo the near approach of the contest of we thought that we could not afford to throw away time on and past issues when we had befort us an active energetic foe all pervading in the northern Slates that de- manded of every man that waa a Democrat or claimed to be a Democrat to by his organization whatever his private griefs might bo And sir I hare under- stood that when we find wrongs and errors in our own parly the very best way to right those wrongs or to cure those errors is to Abstract Ali t Inlying selling In the i A c- and liar uny in tht in lit 1 K in I in in llu inz nuy these sentiments which and which supports the object ol John in hid incursion into Virginia to Iho fullest Now I need not to bo informed by leading influential and patriotic in the State of consin that these resolutions which purport to been adopted by a meeting of nro not tlic ex- pression of the opinion of class of zens in the State Wisconsin I lived these men for the last years I lived in a county county were carried on by German and I feel il my duly here to any in that that no more no more loyal no more patriotic men it i WISCONSIN fur In Hirer I liiv ull TO of tha Republican party of the State of Ohio and of the Republican party of the Union Ilia sentiments enunciated in the States of Wisconsin Michigan Minnesota and Iowa would be denounced sentiments He could run ts Republican candidate in cither of those States Does he soy that he will never vote for the admission of another slave State 1 Does lie say Unit he believes the fugitive slave law to bo 1 Dow he say that he will re- sist the operation of that law Nn sir he does not so but he stands upon the Philadelphia platform Mr will tell you where the ble is In heir convention the Republican party endeavored to n remain inside of the organization not to i national platform They attempt to make go out of il not to join the Opposition but to remain inside the party organization there let our voices bo heard Now lo show there is no issue between the different winga of tho Democratic party I need only mention the fact that every convention in every State has indorsed the national tion upon all its measures except upon this issue and that being out of the way there is now no division between the Democrats in that section except dis- crimination which is attempted to be kept up liy a few but their ber is so Insignificant thut they can hardly be dignified with the name of a parly Sir I have been astonished to hear tlemen on this floor who were Democrats and who say they are charging upon the Administration of Mr Buchanan Dint it in wicked that it is corrupt that it is Why sir if this ii BO I have learned the fact for he firm lime I think I havo watched the course of the President ae carefully as those gentlemen have and although there have been things that I might not subscribe to yet al the same time I know the high responsibility of that position I know that but few men can fill it without being surrounded with difficulties I know that it is the most the highest and the moat honorable position thai a man can fill upon earth and I always yield to the President of the United Slate the highest possible respect I entertain those sentiments to-day for the present occupant of the executive chair and it milters not to me whether ho me as a Democrat or not in the more distribution of paltry Federal offices Why sir that is bui the smallest part of the duty of a Representative it is the smallest field on which ho can operate No man should visit hii mere personal grievances on his party Il there is nny good in party organization it ii for the purpose of carrying out practical principles and no man should join a party for the mere of his own selfish ends and poses We should give no Md or comfort in nny way to the Opposition parly Now there are gentlemen upon this floor who think precisely as I did on the question who claim to be Democrats and wero elected as of Democratic principled and yet for sometime they have their party national but when go to State conventions they frame a different kind of platform When they go IHo Mump they talk different sentiment from those contained in their national platform I have heard time and Republican orators before the people denouncing slavery as a curse and as sters They appeal lo the feeling of the people and take advantage of for the purpose of getting seats upon this When they get here however they an- different sentiments from those they declared at home Let me ask my anti friends why il is that the gentleman from Ohio acts with the Republican parly 1 Why simply because while thai party is wrong ho will remain inside the organization and therein correct the wrong That is what we should do at all times but T fear he cannot do it I fear that It will be utterly impossible for him to the Republican parly I know tint it will be impossible for him to curry along with him upon the Philadelphia form any large portion of the Republican parly of Northwest He denounces the Helper book but his candidate for does not Ho denounces tho Drown raid but Governor Chase does not Now sir I ask why it ia that with these facts before us with this Helper book issued and circulated for the purpose of exciting bad passions against the people of the South ask why il is that the Republican for Speaker docs not rise in hia place rind denounce the infamous of lhat book 1 Will ic not go before the because of his silence he proves of it 1 I do not say thai he to loose voles if he gets up on the floor nnd denounces that book He mny his own policy bur sir I tell him lence upon this floor upon this matter ihc side as national men sound men intelligent and patriotic made by those men there is imminent danger that the South must divide Irom the North Sir I have never until recently allowed myself lo think fur one moment a dis- solution of the American Union was n sible Bui air J am to sny that if men's are worked upon as they have been for a few years past if the North shall persistently excite feeling against the and the South re-echo it red man the yellow man Has not every j Now a word na to firebrand which they race ils differing from the attempted to throw into ers Now is the marked the question of slavery in the Territories of istic of the black 7 It is the United Slates 1 told you nil tint I lhat he possesses the principle uf affection was an

significant fact that he docs indorse that book Now it will not be denied by gentlemen upon the side that there in a large and controlling element in the Republican party which U in favor of ing aggression upon the rights of the ple ot the South They will not deny that there is a large and controlling portion of that party which is opposed to the tion of the fugitive slave law They will if in inform will iin all of live on the coil of the United Slates than they arc They arc sternly hostile to nnd to of and on the S For fear il may have gone out lo anil to the country thul the contained in these are the of that class of our have felt it my duly here although I know that If I were lo consult nj mere inferior views of personal success 1 would nol attempt to address the House my has been

responsibility by the amount of population which I claim to resent on thin floor being over three red sixty thousand than in cither of mont Rhode Island or Oregon and more lhan tho white population ol Mississippi or Arkansas I would bo very cautious and very an to what I said on this floor Having eaid thus much If the House will give mo its I will submit a few remarks I promise not to detain the House long I do not hopo lo sny anything lhat will induce gentlemen upon the side to change their course of action in the est but if I can anything lhat will in- duce those who help to make up the tion to tho Republican party in this those claiming to belong to national to be opposed lo the trines and to tho genius and spirit of the Republican I can anything to lhat wil lead to unite wilh ue for the purpose of preventing the represent ol tho Republican party from occupy ing lhat chair I shall be content Now sir 1 am an I teas nn Democrat when issue wos n live issue When the President sent in his message monding Admission of Kansas under iho Lecompton I had been a Democrat from my earliest youth and although I was but a private fell it lo bo my duty to my party lo dissent from that recommendation I know lhat il IN for in loU ot I or ot Stand lip his party Und one benefit of parly t always stand a thing for a man to I know the I know that when a man takes hii stand outside of

of j Wisconsin took ground almost unani Iho timber lund the policy of tho i Administration While it was a the stood ll I lirm and fast When it was settled by voted for the gentleman who tins been put not deny there is a largo clement of in nomination by the Republican Why is this They could not il they were to try give any higher proof of their ment to Republican principles lhan by ting for the gentleman who has been by the Republican parly Now sir I hold lhat no miin who claims to bo a Democrat or who is n Democrat in heart and principle ought lo give aid or comfort by his vote or by his voice to the can party upon this floor Now gentlemen we who the majority of tho members upon thin floor all upon one thing and is that Republican party organization of the North is purely a organization and we must agree that the inevitable result of sectional parties in this country must be the rupture of thn American Union I ask you if we havo not met here to-day ace to face lhat state ol facts which tho er of hia Country in his Farewell Address warned the American people against ing to 1 I ask you if we do find and have not found since lion party based wholly on geo- graphical lines The Republican party is a purely party lead- er Mr Seward in hii Rochester speech enunciated the doctrine that thero is an ir- repressible conflict between the North and free labor and stave labor I know not what could have induced him to announce this belief on his port Ambi- tion sometimes will lead men to go to a greater extent thin any other It may be but it ia not for me lo question his motives that his eye fixed upon presidential chair he knows that only way he can it is by appealing to sectional and Why sir if sny proof wero required ol the fact that the Republican party is gressing upon the of the people of the South it be found in the platform of that party in the States The platform of the Republican party in my own Stale contains which are inimical lo the rights of the North even under Iho Federal Constitution They dis- asseverate they will resist the execution of the fugitive slave They denounce law as nl They sny lhat they will er allow slave State to into the American Union Look at the Slate of Massachusetts with her personal liberty act look at my own State with her habeas corpus act referred to by tho from Curry look at the that a very large proportion of tian ministers who fill tho pulpits of the North arc members of the Republican par ty and that they persistently denounce rican slavery as a sin against God and manity Wo see sectional church we see those church organizations fostered and kept alive purely by this in the North to the institution of very in the South In the State of Ohio a distinguished gentleman who has occupied bench there ever uince my boyhood days has been ostracised by the can parly for during to stand up snd decide the fugitive slave law to be constitutional And Mr Clerk here this gentleman from Ohio who has only furnished his complexion to the can lo God he had imbued them with some of his principles that standing alone in his position so far as I am able to observe Ho claims upon floor that he U i that party which will never submit lo the admission of another slare Stute into the Union And sir they will not deny that without thot clement that they cannot carry a single northern Stale or a single congressional And yet how is it when they come here 1 Hus a man got up upon this floor to represent the views of Horace Greeley 1 Has any body got up to enunciate the opinions of tha Wisconsin Republican party or of the Republican party of Minnesota of Michigan or of Iowa No not one Is there a man upon that side of the House who will his place that he will never vote for the admission of another slave Slate into the Union 1 Is there a man there who will say that he will resist the fugitive slave law 1 Not one of them has risen in place to say these things Why do they keep silence 1 Why is it when they know the fact that tho is justly indignant and excited the sentiments of Re- publican parly in the North that they allow two or three men who hearts and in- moved with a love for the Union to speak for them 1 Why do they keep lence and permit sentiments to be ed oa theirs when thiy do not entertain them How great sir will be the responsibility of gentlemen from the North OT South who will aid in any way the election of the representative of the peculiar sentiment we denounce Whether they be South Americans or whether they be compton Democrats how great is their I hope gentlemen be- fore take we another may reflect that what you may do indirectly msy do KB great injury to your organization as thing ycu may do directly These Lecompton Democrats who do not act with me and those around as J understand it notwithstanding they were elected outside of the democratic organizi were elected as Democrats They were elected ing Democratic principles They were elected upon their pledges to support not the Philadelphia but tho Cincinnati form Any action therefore upon their part or which leads to lican success is a violation of their pledges before the people I care not whether their course is action or they were elected aa Democrats and not Republicans Now air I have never had any doubt but that the raid of John Brown at Harper's Ferry was the result of the teachings of SB extreme wing of the Re- publican party of the North not the ings of such men aa the gentlemen from Ohio the from Illinois or the from Indiana who have here denounced it but of man who occupy the pulpits of the such papers as the New York Tribune of such men as dell it is result of such teachings and that it can be ascribed lo no other 1 have listened upon this floor with great pain to statements mide by southern men calmly coolly and deliberately of what is tho of public sentiment in their own sections ofthe Union- I refer rot now to the passionate appeals of some gentlemen I refer not now to tha indignant tions of others but I refer to the calm and deliberate statements of gentlemen who are advanced in yearn who have occupied for a long time seats upon floor who ire recognized even by gentlemen the Union is not a of time but that il mny bo now here though we may be going through the forms of Government You may be silting upon this floor thinking you are constituencies at home but I tell you that when men cun be ar- rayed against each ss wo see are hero one little overt act one step too far may precipitate lhat result which we all fay we fear Now sir I always thought that this Government of ours wis like a perpetual motion Unit it would run itself that il would run in spite of cians and not because of any assistance they could render lo it I want to think so yet and I want o sec the time come and come shortly when men may meet together upon this floor liko brothers join in inter- course join hand in hand to carry out those public measures which ore necessary for the good of the when northern men can go to the South and southern men go to the North and each bo received by the like brothers Hut sir I fear we have reached the and necessary result of these appeals to sectional Gentlemen may eoy here that they nothing when they incorporated such ciples into their doctrine of resistance to the extension of slavery and the doctrine under no conceivable will they allow Brother slave to be admitted into the Union You may come here and take back those words or explain away their significance but of what avail ia it A mnn mny go into the and culled rt him may appeal lo passions and he may not mean what he but can he tell how the men hear him may can he tell how many John may be in tho crowd who may his teachings upon the occasion 1 So it is with enunciation ofthe honorable Senator from New York the lender of the Republican parly that there is nn irrepressible conflict between free nnd slave labor Suppose it wero true as an abstract proposition no great loader of a parly in this try should have enunciated such n doctrine no leader no patriot would havo it into expression or publicity It may be tho truth though I do not admit it anil in the of some men it mny bo a fact that there is a conflict be- tween free and slave labor A gentleman may entertained lhat sentiment with sincerity but docs it become him knowing tho fact that slavery exists in southern States by virtue of the guarantees of the to enunciate it in any public speech How does he know how many Jolin Browns may hear him who will carry out his teachings not in tho way he desired to havo them carried out but in a way thai might soek out for themselves There is one other significant fact and is lhat you never hear a Republican spanker either here or al the hustings de nouncing abolition sentiments I never heard one in my life and I seen it in no Republican press Do you denounce Wendell Phillips 1 do you denounce treasonable utterances of No you do not u apply them to j our own elevation lo office you them lo the strengthening of your own party end for the purpose of placing a man of your own kind in Presidential chair The try Is nothing in your view The rights of any portion of it under tho Constitution are in your view You march over them trample them down carrying out but the single idea of mere ambitious projects to attain control of iho Do these men ever vote the Democratic No Did Cheever ever vote Never Hut these gentlemen on the other notional conservative men from Indiana Illinois and Ohio who have spoken here will act side by eide in the political battles of the country with those men who know ate treason to the country and to Constitution I have had at one time respect for the can organization I have respect for that principle in their which says that it ia in the power and is duty of Con- gress lo prohibit slavery in the Territories I know from whence it the hitherto action of the that they might rest gs a great party on that idea But I cannot how they can rest on the State platforms or on the trines enunciated every day on stump and in their presence Now Mr Clerk I have made this stale ment time and again I have made nunciation of their peculiar abolition prin ciples time nnd time again And when I have denounced them and stood up lor the Constitution and the rights of all sections ol Union I have been myself denounced as a doughface as a tool of the South Anc il is for you gentlemen of the South to know the tact lhat we men of the North who stand by the Constitution and its com promises and guarantees have to meet this sec tional organization face to face every day of our lives Now Mr Clerk on this question o slavery I probably differ from most gentle men on this floor I do not think thai there Is any irrepressible conflict between free labor and slave labor I do not think il is there the conflict is I the is the one between lh races ol men I have never subscribed to the doctrine of unity of the human race I do not believe that il is a single race o men I believe in the plurality of The trouble with us here in this country i simply there is a conflict of That conflict commenced when we firs peopled or to people this conti nent We found here race of men wit distinguishing and marked characteristics differing ourselves Tha trouble with African is tha with us he is out of his place and position Docs he not possess marked characteristic distinguishing him not only in color and i form but in mental and moral organization Does be not differ from tke while in lo race is the race lo form seminaries ol principle which subjugates his oilier it And I think ii would be very poor sions nnd controls them j policy for us to permit it lo be dug up of the while j by Now gentlemen tin's question of slavery the Territories is purely an abstract in my view When a great party is organized upon il Is done fur the purpose of carrying out that principle upon present or approaching nol as a mere on not for thing a hundred years hence but wilh to that his to be done here now this year or next Will you tell me what possible practical question learning to invent the press the telegraph the steam engine to spread Christianity to go on and to conquer all races with which it comes in contact has been its history That will be its history Now what is the distinguishing of the red American Indian It is his will resulting in carrying out the principle of Thai principle in the North American In- dian controls his affections and his intellect Thus you have the race of intellect and the race of will in contact What is thu natural result Either one or oilier must be exterminated Is nol going on now 7 Where is the red man Fading away before of the white man You havo not enslaved the red man Massachusetts attempted to do it at an early Jay in the history of lhat colony But with the black man the race of lion when he is in contact with the race of intellect lhat rate compels him nnd coerces him to some form or oilier of and from the fact that he docs possess this qualification he becomes a vant If he did not possess it you could not make him a slave Without intellect without invention without the marked characteristics which distinguish the oilier wo intellect or ou place him in with the white ace he must be And niter the fact ic man is out of his place on the arth when in contact wish the while race iat he was here here will be nly question is particular form of he will be in It is not a on of slavery or freedom II is not n of citizenship or of servitude and Il is of the form of else What would we o with these men if free 1 What could lie do with these millions if they free Yon know we do not them with us You know that the of every Stole wilh tho of one or two is directed in driving out blsck know that when you fought your hat les in Kansas where was carried out the of popular nd when you formed a constitution there not only did not make citizens of roes but you absolutely prohibited roen from coming within the borders of State Now what would you do with them fou do not want al the could nol take care as their masters an who have lived wilh them from their up cannot break apart Ibis anO this system thai d itself into every social and political fiber f thai great people who inhabit one half the Union No radical or sudden change an lake place Do you mean to tieh it by slow means 1 Do you mean to o what your press your stump speeches our sermons in church every Sabbath immend Do you mean to do it by the adoption of your platforms which ore to the principles of the Constitution lo you mean to do it by holding one ion before the people and here and lolding n different one 1 You cannot do it n way You cannot do it inside the American Union The idea ol a peaceable solution of such a question has never itself la my judgment It cannot c done peacefully by nny party tion whatsoever Il is a problem is n hands of God and can only be solved by slow progress ol lime Gentlemen an the other side and orators al always appeal to he Declaration of all men are created equal and they go on to argue from that directly and black men are intended lo be included n that Declaration and lo be incorporated aa citizens under ibis system of Govern of oura Now sir this is a mere ab It could not have been thai Jefferson meant lhat all men were ere ated wilh equal under any particular for we know thai does not proceed directly from God jut is of human thought human and human will What did he mean It is true they are equal in the sight of God they bear same relation do but politics to time and eternity that we all they are not created wilh equal nor was it ever so intended We know precisely the contrary because slavery existed at the time the constitution was formed and if il was intended to rate these men in political community it would have been EO said in the tion itself Now I want lo soy a few words to gen tlemen this side of the House i know that these words would come wilh much greater force from some other than myself I will acknowledge that should nut place myself in the position o attempting to advise those gentleman who are acting wilh me in the organization of House when I have had so liltle ence in arena but have a few words to aay to you gentlemen and 1 hope you will hear me A studious silence has been preserved on the other side of this House I suppose the philosophy of it is that they go into the country and say that we are consuming the time in debating instead of voting I pose that the philosophy of il is lhat theio contrariety of sentiment upon that side of the House that if Mr Sherman should get up and declare his true he should place himself on the side of Mr Corwin be could not the that side to Tote for him and consequently they do allow the of that we do here r am glad that iiv this in this party of ours we cnn tions of principle and questions of policy and can disagree but when the time cornea to battle our common enemy we can stand side by side and forget our difference come up winter with regard 10 any of the Slates Sot Will our upon the other side wiio nrc impersonation of the idea of con- gressional to prohibit ex- of slavery introduce a ng any Territory hey do il thU session they done l for four years In they that idea in their Have lo carry it out in either branch of Congress during the last four years 1 1 hink not y were last year on the same pledge Will such a this winter Oh no they vill not do il Why not Because the question is absolutely settled in the of ill intelligent men in every organized in the United Stales Is it not led in Washington Territory in Olah Cansas and in Nebraska Is it not led in I it ia 1 no will be either on hat aide of the House or on this this cr or next either to establish in ny one of those to prohibit t Why 1 Because the mon sentiment of people of those has already settled has decided that il does not want Enough said we ire lo abide hat New decided that she does nol want slavery enough aid I agree lo thai It is their business ond not mine As nn individual and as aa can citizen f would be to concede lo every southern man the right to go into every wilh hia slaves and hold them there a State constitution ia I would concede that right but of what use could ii be T Why a thousand laws of Congress cannot slavery into a Territory against the will o the people and a thousand Jaws of Congress cannot prohibit slavery where tho people want Hence think vfa might pore our time nnd energies and not throw hem away upon a purely ia absolutely settled in every ory o the Slates Why not let he question rest J Why keep it Why excite the passions of the the and of the the f Why sir if I wert an inhabitant of a southern Territory 1 laugh at you here attempting to prohibit it 1 wanted it and if I were an inhabitant of a northern Territory I laugh at you for attempting to establish it there or to force it if 1 did not want il ff I lived where slavery existed I would own slaves myself I would nol think that I was thereby guilty of a moral wrong I would take these servants and I would ex- pend upon them my energies anJ my lect to train and protect and in every way lo du my duly before God to thoic thus placed under my care and guidance But in a northern in Kansas of in my own Slate I do not want These sons of the are of no use lo us there We cannot elevate them to equality wilh ourselves and we do not want them there at all There is not one man in one thousand in the Northwest who wants this race of men among us I know it They are not ble ol self-government Tney must be vants if they come among us without er on our part to direct or guide them in their service lacking as they intellect and capacity for progress Hence gentlemen of the mate and second the prevailing sentiment of ide people of each will the question of African slavery I then to you in all as a brother ss a of yours is one acting wilh you only tional upon which rests destiny of this submit lo you who voted against me you gentlemen of sylvania you of Kcw Jersey and you of South that you ought to stand by my side in resisting the aggression of this lican parly upon the Constitution BIr If allow me I will show him bow I think that the question of slavery can be

Lecompton Democrats and South Americans will differ with the party A proposition may presented for organization of the Territory of na The Republican parly holds trrat Con- gress has the power that it is its duty to exclude slavery from lhat Territory or any The South Americans differ from that doctrine as do the both and The Republican party when it that act of prohibition of slavery to will then be opposed by all the other ties in this House besides Does not gentleman see then the may arise Mr Wheft IMt question comes up I will be aet upon it I will vote against any law either for or prohibiting slavery in of the of the United Slates It msy be that Arizona wilt apply for and that tha tion of congressional of will come up I admit that but I do not think her application for is so near at hand does The Gentleman from hasr view and I hire mine I will try lw
