Claw solid. It is literally True that that party has in the pa. inane felled .Stilily to slavery in exact it to a c pacify to Rio it. When it consisted of individual it Conley Ileal with individual opposition Lottie execution of the i Ligi Iive slave Law in like free Stales and Wilh the prevention of the his fugitive thither acquiring More Strei Gib and gelling into .�?Tongrcs.s, it began with tie of abolition petitions to induce Congress to take Over the sii Joet. In the last few years it of tinned Possession of Many of the Northern Nind whenever it has Lonc so it has enacted Laws nullifying the in the Lugi slave clause. This is the past. Its last great is the election of or. Lincoln As .Sidenl of the United Stales. Or. Lincoln who has declared e civial.ti Maliu �1 slavery. That is the sum of a that Creed on which he he Eie ii eternal hostility to slavery lie has been put upon Iisley the Black Republic inns and entreaty appeals to their patriotism appeals to their life Elisii appeals to their fear. Now 1 say this Gie of the Cir a not Only rain Fiji Rea Flionis All of. The had pr., but if foil cells the future. It signifies to you that in future As in the past party will to the utmost of ability harm slavery. And this is not . It is in accordance Widi a Law of nature with the Law that cause will produce a elect. This parly Mev slavery that is the word hates slavery. The chosen leaders or. Lincoln and or. Seward proclaim that there is an irrepressible eternal conflict Between the slave slates and the free. Another chosen Lender or. Sumner Calls the sentiment a sacred animosity a that is religion. Now this parly actuated by this depth of hate towards slavery would be untrue 10 past , if it did not exert All Power to , shivery. The Only question therefore is As to when the a Larty shall acquire the ability to destroy it. I say then that the meaning of air. Lincoln s election to the in a Sideney is the abolition of slavery As soon As the Republic rain party shall have acquired the strength to abolish it. That Power Uliey rapidly acquit iii and will soon acquire unless something is done to prevent it. And this is Tny second proposition. My third is that abolition would be to the South one of the direst evils of which the mind can conceive. Let us look at it for a moment. When abolition comes by the Dicicc of the North it will at a Lime when the South is so weak Liat tie North will feel that she will he per Felly Able to accomplish the deed. Still the South will not be so to at she will feel herself ult Eily . The Cotton states will at that time live a Large population of slaves a larger population of slaves than of , but the population of the Whites will be respectable. I he decree will excite an hatred the , on one Side and the slaves Anil the North on the other. Verv soon a War Hel when the whiti.,s and the Blacks will break out everywhere. It will he in every town in every Village in every in every Road. It will be a War of Man with Many a War of . Fuiek by the North will intervene and of course Lake sides with the Paity ii Enid by tin in inc Chieks. Hic coalition will exterminate the Whiteace, expel them from the land to wander As vagabonds Over the face of the Earth. That w ill he like Laleff the Colton Stales so.As the men Iscon Erined and As for the won eit they will Call upon the to fall upon them. That w ill be the end of the while race that now exists in the Cotton Stales and the Black Lack will Lake of our goodly land and convert it into an Olber Jamaica st. Domingo. But that is not Ali. Our Northern friends will begin to covet the Good lands Laius hell by the , As they do All Good lands within their reach and they will gradually encroach upon them and drive Oil the negroes. Under this i it process More and More pursued the negroes will follow the Fate of la Weir late masters and he exterminated and the Yankee will tread your soil As lord. Am Inot right then in saying that abolition is one of the direst evils that the mind old states would he is form iii Minisel Vinto a states. Can imagine. Thus then w v o 71. Kircou.

My second proposition is that the North will soon acquire that p Iwer unless something is done to prevent it. 1 dare say every one present will agree that Lilis is position. The North has now eighteen states and tie South fifteen. Tie whole of the of the United slates May at this time be said to be Noil territory. This is True and it is evidence that we Liall have no More slave states from the Public territory. This territory has an area sufi event to form Twenty Stales of 50,000 Square mite Raeh. Add to these the other eighteen and you have but this not All. Some of the slave states aie in the process of becoming free . The last census shows that Delaware has decreased in number of . Probably the same is True of Maryland and Kentucky whilst Virginia and Missouri have barely held their own. In process of time and that no Long time these slates will become free states. North Carolina and soon follow them. Then slavery will be compressed into tie eight Cotton states. Gentlemen i Pray Yon to realize this is a great fact that there a a in opera Tiomi which a allowed to continue in operation will drive town ail the slaves into the Cotton , and you know they but. Eight. Yah ii that Lime comes and indeed Long be-f. that time comes the North in the Black Llepun Hircan party for that will be the. North will have it in Power Only to Amend the and Lake Whai i o Quot a i pleases upon the sigh feel of i Olvry. It will then take the Power to emancipate. Your slaves iii id to hang you if you resist la Weir emancipation., Bui we have reason to believe from Wii at this parly has , that it Linzil it can acquire this a at majority a a of lilo , and Amend the Constitution. As soon As it can require. The physical a Power to it will and will abolish slavery. The. Constitution with that it arty is Iai ready a dead Iclet Athing Viil under of the a higher a the Only ques Jon tier Pforr have data from which we May announce this that abolition dire evil As it is is iii Vitalle so iii Liling is Duuck either to Ino Lily hostility to shivery on the part of the North of to prevent tie North from the Power to abolish slavery. Whatever remedy is proposed must be tried by these two . Having either it will be suf Licten having neither it will be wholly insulin Pierit. I leg you to observe another thing. Some have thought that a Semerly to our evils would to have die Fiig Viive slave Law enforced on Larl of the tion slave holding states. True we need that for at the North Law is a dead letter. We need a therefore a remedy for that evil but that rues Tiomi bears no higher relation to that .it one the intention to slavery than a cent to a Dollar. It is a Mere trifle compared Wilh the question whether not slavery shall he Abol Ishad at the South. not that so our Semerly must be a remedy lor this prospective abolition. Any remedy for that will almost certainly he a Rem etly for the other and Ine remedy for that is what we now to seek for. Then As i said any remedy that will be Suslie Keiit to prevent the abolition of slavery have one of the two characteristics Vav High have been mentioned either a capacity to change the will of the North and make them Wil Ling to let slavery exist As it is else the capacity to prevent the North from acquiring the Power to abolish it. If it fails ill either of these respects it is no remedy it does not reach the disease. What now the remedies suggested is opposable to prevent the North and the a tick slave states Adrail fed into the a nod from below new dividing line would not remain slave slates Long. Lying on the same parallels As the Border slave states they would be subject to the same raise s which now operating on the Border slave states and transforming them into free states. All the slaves would gradually sink Down into Texas and Arkansas and finally even these new slates a Voltl become free states merely by the process of declaring them selves such. So that this Mca Suie it seems so , is no remedy to the disease. It docs not meet the Case. It Only puts off the evil Day a Little while to make it a Darker Day when it docs come. For come it will. It seems then that even amendments of the Constitution so great As these would be no a Meily. They a Vouhli Hick both of the Essenti. Clui Raiteris tics of the remedy. They would not suf Liee to change the North a hostility to slavery nor to prevent the Norli from acquiring the Power to abolish slavery. This is a Case which we have merely supposed. No body dreams that a general convention of the would concede us such amendments As Linse supposed. Nobody at the Softli Olio merely goes for a convention Rais is his voice so High As to demand such Aten Dinnels. No but what do Genii Tiemen of the South propose As remedie.-. I now come to consider in Sci and first As to or. Slept Nils. Or. Stephens As i understand him proposes that there shall be a convention of the Southern Stales that this convention shall remonstrate Wilh the Northern states which have violated the Constitution in refusing to execute the fugitive slave Law and shall demand of them the repeal of their obnoxious Laws and shall plainly declare to them that if they do not repeal those Laws the South will dissolve the this if i understand it is his whole remedy. Now i say men of Georgia that this remedy does not look at tic great disease it toes not touch i has reference merely to the fugitive slave Law a matter which As i think is comparatively a trifle in this great . This would be a Sulli Eie it objection to the plan of or. Stephens if it he True that the Case which i have supposed would be no remedy much More must it he True that this can be n o ii a fur this Falls Short of that by a thousand leagues. I proceed however to discuss it a Little further. And the first remain which i make on it is that Small As it is it is unattainable. 1 say that it would be a vain thing to Call the Southern slates together and induce them to make this remonstrance to the icon slave holding states with the aim uni a a evil that ii the remonstrance was not heeded they would go out of the Union. The North the Black Republican parly would disregard any such remonstrance. It would laugh in cur faces. In order to get that demand concede in it would be necessary to overthrow the Black Republican party the North it would be necessary to have a party get into Power there Friendly to slavery. Therefore i say it would be necessary to overthrow the Black Republican parly. Now 1 say it would be a hopeless undertaking to overthrow the Black party. That a party now has at the North the press the pulpit the schoolmaster the , the. Governors the Legislatures the jul Ilgis the county of fliers the town officers All official life it has on Side the Ariti path to slavery which is almost Universal at the North now it takes Possession of the general government government and All Postand patronage. Every Man at the North who has office from the gov from abolishing slavery first 1 Drill will consider those in the Union and 1 will suppose As Strong a As 1 can. Suppose a i one Ilion regularly called of All the states of this Union suppose that cd invention should so Amend the Cutis Littion of the uni Icil slates As to make it that All the Public territory should be equally in proper proportion divided Between the North the South and Flirl Eicr that it should be the duly of the Gim ral government and even of the slates to protect slavery. Suppose we could get such an Ninenan Keiit As this to the Cutis Littion. Still even this would be no remedy and the reason is you cannot depend upon the North for any guaranty she gives you. She May stipulate and Promise and make constitutions but so far As slavery is concerned she will observe none of these. Slie holds slavery to be a sin and a a a it i league Wilh hell and covenant with death a and Liling this a pm Limpid she does nut consider liar self Iio und to keep any covenant Agic Nien t f Ivor Alt to slavery arid the Only Wilh her Aslo any such Agi Cement covenant is Aslo a whether she has strength to Viii Hile it with do you not know that this is True. Of the Black parly Vav High has now become the North i and hold iii As the North does these doctrines you cannot fasten her by any compact league covenant which Yogi. make with her. Coins dilutions . no Efficacy promises a-.of Iio Avail because she holds them a to be void a bin they favor slavery. Yve could get such Ameid meals is these to the Constitution the remedy would be ineffective insufficient. Vohy a because the North would idiot keep them a and that same Harc Djion sly i by Puld still exist. It is ineradicable not Only is but that same process if hiring nor Down to the Constable holds it by the Teri of his hatred to c.1i you overthrow a party thus deeply Roo Teil by a and by a thre. ? Viliy vye have told them Ull la rough this Campaign that if they elected Lincoln to the presidency this Union Puld be dissolved. And Alliey have receive in the it but with mockery and scorn. You could no More Dis Lilge this party from seat at the North by remonstrance and Mcnamee than you could cd pc the from Gibraltar by the blast of a rum s Horn. Applause t say then that the first objection i have to this plan even so far As the fugitive slave Law is concerned is that it is unattainable. Another objection is that it involves delay and. A great Deal of delay first you have to a convention of individual Southern states. The Legislatures of those states Wil i first have to then the convention will have to As a semble each of these things will take up time after that has to be sent to each h ind Vitu dial state that passed the obnoxious Laws and each Lias to Eim Sijer Vav Licolli. vill repeal the i not. This will up additional time and in the interval or. Lincoln with All the Power Vav High he As president of the us Rietl states can exert will set about paring to defeat your purpose of going out of the Union in Case your Ramon a Strancz shall be a dire Felt a by the culprit states. Arid a that will he be Able to do a there is you say a majority of the Senate and House of in present opposed to his policy. Grant it Mill he can do a great a Leal to harm you. A you have Qew Niu Clu the largest proportion of arms arid am Uhi tion in your arsenals. The president the a Power to order these in lie sent away from you. Trial Wimbeis ready at a word to assume a military form trained a aired a in sol Deily exercises. you a rifling that or. Livic Oln shall have the Opportunity of taking your arms from your arsenals a iii Pul Linein into the hands o wide awakes 5ir. Stephens plan would give Linin that Oppio Puriity. Ai Tullier ouse Etiopi 1 have to that plan is that it would not be a remedy for even the Small disease for Vav High it proposes to remedy the violation of the fugitive slave Law by the Northern states. Suppose the obnoxious jaws of these slates were repealed would that Lelieve the South wily these Laws have never i believe been in forced against a single Southern Man some of them hav been in existence for years and Many eases of have occurred. No the trouble is t Nat hostility of the peo Jile of the North to slavery is so great that the Jiulie ait homilies of iii Dessales Ean not exec Wilc the Law of the Genii prod Iove Nuu it and As Long As that hos Ithily Reinius tin Kiili evilly will remain in Exee it ing it. When a people is universally against a Law you Ean not execute stand so i say it would he a vain tiling to expel tie least iii to the recovery of fugitive slaves iii repeal of those obnoxious a perfectly vain thing. 1 think then this remedy proposed by or. Slepin is is wholly inadequate. What is the of or. Will ? i am not Suie that i understand him As to his . Llis plan is this if i a Myers Laid it that there a Conven Ion i f the people of Georgia perhaps of the Sontheim states nil a Lien am on the in Reswik it to enforce the fugitive slave Law and in the event Thon Vilii enforce Einen to Call out the Mili Froin the South to of iii a the North to observe Law. Geill Eirien. This plan seems to met to labor under All tic objections to that of or. Slept end a -. But ii Etc others Peculiar Loil. In certainly iii Olvi a delay As Ranieli of indie than the Oiler because before iii Opportunity shall Oeur when the North shall resist the iii of the Federal Lovern iii ent ill the Excil Tuii of the fugitive slave Law four More years May elapse. The soil Hen peo ilc raid logo into the Northern slates for their slaves. A to set lii plan in motion May not occur lor years ii Ian in Verger but Sheie is an additional objection Peculiar to this plan. It Call up on the preside it to enforce the fugitive slave Law. Why the a resident has always done his duty in ii toeing that Law. That is not the it is not any nun her of regular soldiers Southern soldiers that you need to execute the Law in is a posse coins Moliis of ii Zens in the Northern . themselves that you and this you Eai idiot have As Ion hostility there to slavery is As great As it is. In Liblick opinion rises up in vast mobs against your attempt to carry Back y our slave. The idea of the calling out the whole military Force of the South has a show of grandeur about it but it is All show. Another remedy plan sometimes spoken of is to Fig lit in the Union. 1 say i for if we do we fight to great . The Constitution declares that no stale shall make a com pact with another stale shall make a treaty with a foreign nation shall Levy any tax on imports on exports Oil tonnage shall Coin Inonu a Emit Bills of credit make airy Liling but Gull and Silver Coin a tender in the payment of debts. The gives the whole Power to the general government. Now when the slates go to fight in the Union it is of course to be assumed that lii y shall do so . I they fight there they will fight shorn wholly of their sir Eiith fight As lolled units. On the other Liam the general Crement win have All of Power All of prestige. It will also have the Benefit of the Viies Tiomi whether the i it Izeris of the fighting slates do not owe their allege Aimee toil rather than to those slates. It is Plain that it will be bad Light iii the slave iin either. Let us examine j to Len the Ortli. From the Best inform this a fur Liev. Wii at time gives abolitionism at the Norelli Sulci Power enters into their politics All the offices of the slate at length held by the tenure of hatred to slavery. A political capital a is made of it. No party in Canada , France a Loes can make any political capital out of the shivery of the South. so it would soon be at the Ortli if the South was a separate people. I say alien trial whenever the South is separated from the North the of slavery will go out of the politics of the North and Stead other wiil Spring up Wheeli will occupy All tin in time and attention such questions for example As the Tarlit the Dis it Osi iii of the Public lands ii Lenial improvements and Ollious. Jul there won d then lie partic.-? Amiti isl themselves these questions. The Western slates an people the Eastern Middle a Eoin Mereial people. The two latter would desire heavy Piot Clive duties the two fori iut would such midst the distractions and the quarrels that would ensue on this and other is injects . would be but Little tii Zielo give to fugitive slaves to the slave pies iii. 1 believe so far from Lierbo Rizig those slaves they would expel them if they came Over into their Lior dets. Already some of the Wes Lorn states have Laws spelling free negroes itis Only when receiving a negro is an injury to sonic master that they will Reri evea negro. The feeling from which this con incl Springs won d soon pass away after a Sepa Ali Jii. would take .n place of prejudice then become abstract. I lies Wohl leave us our slaves to help to make the Eolynn they would want As new England a Loes. So we see that we live a perfect remedy for both diseases in immediate secession. . That not All if we were scar Raie from the North we to wild Pul an Mel to the Ahkii Minig by which the slave population is draining Olf into the Cotton . The Mere of separation would .Ive that Lemlem a of Eitra the fear Ilia slaves will escape to the North by the Umler mid Railroad otherwise is .e chief cause of the Drain a in the Imler grouted Railroad would cease to pay and the rail would sus Pei id business. What might be lacking we could easily obtain by invoking Laws Siueli As Law laying a tax on every slave coming Fiona a certain parallel of latin Side. You enact any Law of this Kimi As the Wou lii be All of one feeling on the subject it would be to the in Erst of Allol Vliem that shivery should be Dill used Over whole extent of their territory. Ii it even at the worst the Hurder states if they should become free slates Woi ild not be Strong enough to h. the i Olton states. Julie Cotton slates have six Hundred thousand Square Miles of Border Stales less than flirt to Hundred thousand. Both this relative proportion of territory in would be impossible for the Border states to interfere with slavery in the Cotton slates and therefore even though the Border states should become hostile to slavery a Case hardly suppose hic it would not he ill their Power to harm us. The st Paris iii from the North would the i be a per Leet relic by for All diseases. If this is so we certainly ought to Miott it unless the to in too great unless the evils which it would entail greater than those would come from abolition and .iter than that come from the Militi Calion of the fugitive slave clause of the . What the to a separation from the Nolti ? let us Consi Iler Ali iii calmly. The first is not enough of lii slave states will separate to make it effect dial. I deny this. I say that if one in two of the Cotton states go out All the Cotton slates will go out that if All the eol Loii states will i out the Border states will soon follow. State will Rush to the Side of state As a brother rushes to Lioa can obtain there is now a larger proportion of the Public arms and munitions at the South than at the North. Then we have a larger fund of military knowledge at the Softli. 1 believe there is not a single state military school at the North. But we have one in Virginia said to be almost equal to that at vast Point one two in Smilla Carolina that turns out accomplished soldiers one in Georgia one in Kentucky one in Tennessee one in Alabama All of which Sci tools of a High order. These schools will furnish our army with most accomplished officers and when you have Good officers you will soon have the Good men. We have More financial Power and resources than the North has. We have an article lii he eng Lami must have i might almost say the same of France. To deprive England of Cotton would he the same As to deprive �?�1,000,000 a if her subjects of the Means of subsist nce and to Shiow them out to work anarchy and this she would never consent thus our Cotton would be an unfailing Supply of Money to us. The temptation of would be great to take sides against her rival the North the Only people that Suc fully compiles Wilh her in her Ocean dominions. She never Hosila Les when her interests at stake and she would have a ready pretence ill san Jinan and the Central America . She has enough to desk of the entire Navy which the North would have and to enter the Harbor of new York and Boston and with the improved artillery of the these cities in a few hours. On the other hand the North Cut of from Southern Cotton Rice tobacco and other Southern products Touhl lose three fourths of her Commerce and a very Large proportion of her . And thus these great fountains of finance would sink very Low. I say then that we would have ample Power to maintain our Independence in spite of the North. Again suppose the South wait to prepare ? whilst she is preparing the North will also be preparing and being in of the general Goveri it she will prepare twice As fast and twice As Well. Or. Seward has proclaimed in his late speech at Lansing that one single Republican administration will be sufficient to do the business lor slave Gem ral govern Ideiil in the the Side of a brother when out to be the Power to abolish slavery would go Wou d be an Iramene loss to in though not quite . New free and Ihu a the is in the a ii Shive hold a a a. So a to to Omeg Iirth the ing st,Aan,.i. Vast in /a----.-v. -j.-r1�?� plan too involves do Lay. When is the War to commence in you wait to Figlilo in the ? will you Wail until the Norelli has it in her Power to abolish slavery ? if you wait till then resistance will he Vai. 1 i Lisuk however that this plan has not been seriously entertained by m a ii y Fleck iii persons As the one the South ought to adopt. These three All the Jih itis for obtaining our rights in the Union that 1 have heard spoken of the difficulty with them All is a to not reach that great disease for which they prescribed they a to not operate on lh. till of the North which is fixed to ilc Troy slavery. They do not Izier ale. On that by which the Norihisa fast acquiring the Power of destroy slavery. What Tsien ? it Foh lows that there is not i Hin the iii ii any remedy by which we can Aioli tips and therefore if we wish for a reined by a Semerly we must seek outside of the a Union. Birr Sis of applause 1 say Gobi Clemeti that follows As a new eos illusion if Hesi a Rono Simions Truc and of their truth you to judge. Well i . that a separation from the North would b�.�?T. A.

That is Clear. Tin till to a to so also cease. Slavery exists ill Juha in Brazil and the Mortti has much with Liolu Overon Rizic by a Trio real adversary thou it May be that he himself would not have begun the fight. Mere feel of fraternity would he enough but it will have the Aid of interest. In a a Parale with us the Border slates Voi id have for the that monopoly of our Rich markets which the North now Lias whereas in a separate government with the North they would have to Erie Munler in null markets a profitless Competition with the North. And then upon these great quest inn they Agrecio with us a that is to say they agreed to the extent that Thev do not Coli Sivier slavery an evil and that they feel an interest in maintaining if Whii. they not agreed will the North i have no fe.that ii the Cotton states should go out of the Union the it lick Southern states Touhl fad to inflow but if they did i say boldly that we Shuhl be Ible stir solves to in iii iii our cause.

Iii he Finisi place we Well prep but indeed there will be no the effect the North of our separation would be a commercial crisis a bankruptcy greater than has Ever prevailed there before. The very separation itself would produce the effect. Would the North in such a condition As that declare War against the South ? properly in the North and particularly in vast of Point Pierce would sink to. A Mere nominal value nobody would be Able pay the necessary taxes for the War. There Touhl be nothing in the Treasury and no ability to borrow. Her soldiers would have to be shipped at a vast expense for the Border states would not suffer them to go through her Borders to the Cotton states perhaps around the dangerous coast of Florida and be sent As far Aslo . Every Soldier would Cost according to an estimate which i have seen �1,000 per year. They could not raise an army. A few might Volunteer for the Sake of bread none would for any other reason. Under these Mircu instances could they expect to conquer even us of the Cotton , although Thev might number 18,000,000 of pc Jih and we Only 5,000,000 ? Why look at Prussia. For some years she resisted the combined Power of France Austria and it happened that she had taken Silesia and they wished to a deprive her of it but she with her 6,000,000 7,000,-000 of people seecs fully resisted their 60,000,000 70 000,000 and held Silesia. The possessors were lighting upon their own soil As we would be upon ours and we would fight there in such a cause As ours would be not Only like them but even with the so Virit of Leonidas when he stood at thierm Opalic. Applause. Then our very climate is a terror to men of Northern climate. They think that yellow fever and other of lever almost is bad fill up Allol our Simiu imers and our Anim is the time of Eam Faigus. Who would Volunteer for the glory of dying of Black vomit ? it is True i believe that in the i Volu to opiary War not a single Northern Soldier could be in filled for love Money to come South of York town.
