SPEECH . OC• HON. WM. H. SEWARD, DELIVEIIF.D • At Dubiteir, Inca, Sept. 21st, 1860. From the Dubuque Daily Times (Concluded.) You have been very indifferent about these subjects ; you have not takeu no tice of that. It was only two years ago, only by constant watchfulness and activ ity of the friendly representatives of the free State in Congress, that the . whole protection - of the United States was not withdrawn from the fisheries. The slavelioldiTs don't want ice to be gathered with freescil hands; they would rather have it taken from the lekes and and riv er! of They don't want the - fish- . cries conducted by free hands ; they would rather take their supplies froth for eign markets. .The fisheries are some what foreign for you, but the quarries are net—the granite and the marble out of which our capitol is being constructed, our great cities erected, some of it in your own beautiful city. Have you any idea of how large a portion of the national wealth is extracted frodi the quarries of granite and marble and' free-stone ? It is beyond any arithmetic to compute.— Yet there is -not a slave engaged in a quarry in the United States. Have you any slaves down your shafts in your lead mines here ? [Not one I Have you any slaves in your coal mines? Not one.— Any in your iron mines ? Not one.— Pennsylvania is being burroughed all through and through in all directipns, and for the iron and coal, taken out and fabricated. There is not a single slave nor was there ever one that raised his hand to add to that supply of nation al wealth. On the other hand you have in Maryland and in Virginia deposits of coal and iron as rich, and of gold too; and yet in Maryland and Virginia in their iron, coal, and silver mines, the work is mainly dune by freemen. - . _ I need not speak of manufactures; the African save is reduced to a brute, as nearly as may be, and he is incompetent to weave, to cast a shuttle, to turn a wheel, to g,rease or oil the wheel and keep it in motion. In all the vast manufac turing- . establishments in the United States ; in all die estabiisnments of the forests and of the fisheries, or of . manu factures throughout the whole world, there is not one African slave to be found. California rejected the labor of slaves, and well she did so ; for if she had in vited and courted it, her mines, instead of yielding fifty millions of gold perlyear to the commerce of the United States, would be yielding nothing. Co'uld a man subsist in,lowa by cilti vating wheat or corn with slave labor If not they tell us this is a question al together of economy, and that men have no idea of justice. Nn 'man has •ever brought or ever thinks of bringing an Af rican slave hero; the reason is a moral one; that slave labor don't pay, and only free labor will. . N. D. BELLY Commerce is of two kinds, domestic and foreign. The •commerce down she Mississippi and ap, the commerce across the railroads with New York, is domestic commerce; the commerce across the ocean with foreign nations is the foreign commerce. -In New-Orleans I found that sixteen thousand men were engaged in domestic trading on the river btween New-Orleans and the up country in the Mississippi valley. How many of them -were slaves ? Not one. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, New York, Michigan, send the boatmen who conduct the commerce even lu blave States, while .Votote. to tty, ?titicipizs of Ikqe, Diltypetleg, qqa fig VSseirgiglicor of iffoiltil4, jr.iteisaft(i'e 'tram POET RY. THE SUMMONS PO LI.TI.CAL. COUDERSPORT, POTTER • COUNTY, PA.,:.THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1860. on all the oceans theie is not a alive en cm&el in commerce. Now the three great wheels:.of nation almealth are, agriculture, including the subjugrationof the forests,, manufactures and" frade: Siay,ok are unlit, African slaves are absolutely, unfit to be employed in turilinp, either of those wheels; - and - it thus enters into-the. elements of a great and prospermia State . that its people shall not be slaves-but freemen. .' The reason is chylous; it is the inter est of the freeman to cultivate himself as well as he can, to produce the most be can at the least cost; and it is the iri terest of the slain to be as_disqualified as he can, to consume•as much as be can, and produces as little more than he con. smiles as posAble. It is not wealth alone that makes a na tion, It must have strength and power to command, by the Mere signification, of its will, peace and good order at - home and respect and confidence abroad. Just . imagine the United States converted in to- planting States in which the labor was performed only by negro slaves and judge if you can, what would be the police pow er of the government in any of the States. The laborer in a slave State is 'watched night and morning; his outgoings,his in comings, his path is surrounded bya po lice; he tan pass to execute the order of his master only on permit or license.— Why he must retire - to sleep at nine or ten at night, and must not be abroad from the plantation without a special li cense ; fur no other reason than, being held in involuntary bondage by his mas ter, he regards him as - an enemy to be watched. Turn a whole nation ,into masters watching slaves, - and slaves regarded as natural enemies—what is the power of that nation to preserve peace at home ? What its power to command respect abroad ? Make us for once a nation of slave States, and any fetble, worthless power in Europe has only to apply the torch of insurrection and civil war by proposing to emancipate our slaves; in stead of relying on oirselVes we would want. to make a federal union with Cana da that: we might get protection, just. as the free - States now protect the slave States. But all these—material wealth -and power—are but low ideas of what consti tute a nation. It should have a head, an enlightened head, an open, free, manly, honest heart. Such will enable any man or woman to go through the world with safety. A nation is only au aggregate of individuals, of so many heads to work as one head ; of so many hearts to work . as' one heart. You want an enlightened free people to constitute a nation; and if you have such a people, they are perpet ually reducing the labor, the sacrifice, and toil of muscle; and if it be true, as theologians say, that labor is the primal curse imposed by the Maker on man for disobedience,. then this benevolent . heart and enlightened head will suggest all' manner of machines to relieve them of the necessity of so much labor. - The pour widow, who, to eke .out a subsis tence, has to sow for her neighbors, will, with a-machine that costs but from fifty'. to one hundred dollars—the invention of a free people—make fifty garments where before she made but one. And the steam engineit plows, plants, sows and bar vests; it thrashes, it gathers into the gra- naries; it hauls the cars loaded with pro duce; .it drives the steamboat on the I river. That is what. invention dims.— Now, out of the million inventions which the American people enjoy, - there is nut one that was manic by a slave, and simply because the slave is iwbruted in his heart and stupified in his intellect. • A nation to be great wants character' —character for justice, honesty, integrity; for ability to maintain its own rights and respect for the rights of others That it cannot bare it it be a nation of slaves. It is only a nation of freemen that can' •cultivate the virtues Which constitute a character. Those virtues are two. Jos tie°, equal and exacejustice among men ; the equal freedom and liberty of every other man. The other virtue is courage.l The freeman haS' no enemies; he is just;! he oppresses nobody; nobody wishes to be revenged • upon him. A nation of freemen are safe ; they provoke nobody ; they wrong nobody; they covet nothing; they keep tee tenth commandment. And' nations must keep the commandments as well as iudividua's, or 's.uffer the same penalty. But you cannot have these . .virtues ex cept on one condition, and that is that the people of the nation are trained up in them. And how trained ? By schools and general instruction, free press, free debate at borne, and in legislative coun cils; and everywhere to be undisturbed as they go in and come out. Introduce slavery in lowa, and what kind of free dom of speech wouldyou enjoy ? What kind of freedom of the press? freedom, of bridges? of taverns? Just look across, the State of Missouri into Kansas, and you will find freedom of the press pro tided you - will maintain that property is ' above labor, that -slavery -is .before all coustifUtions . -and governments-the free dom of speech which sought. the. expul sion Of -John Quince - Adams from Cie Congress of the United States, for pre- . seining a petition 'in .favor of , human rights ; the freedom of debate Which at-. rested my distinguished and. esteemed friend; . Charles Sumner, in ..the midst of - . a glorious - and useful•Parcer, and*dootned him to wander sufferer and invalid for four years. AS for freedom of .bridges, why the b.idge over the Misswri at Kan sas Was proved to be only a bridge for slave State men ; and the tavern at Law rence..s.was sitbv,erted tor a 'nnisance'on ac count of its being. a tavern at which free State men could stop. - It is a bright September afternoon, and a straego'keling of surprise comes over me 'that I should be here in the State of lowa,]the State redeemed and Saved in the eouiprothise of 1820; a State peopled by freemen; that IshPuld be here in such a State before Such a people, imploring the citizens ofAlie State of lowa to main tain the cause.of Freedom instead' of the cause of Slavery. It is a strange change' from the position I was in goy a year ago. In Italy,' in Austria, in Turkey even I was excusing, in the best day I could, the monstrous delinquencies of the American people in tolerating slavery, which even the Turk had abrogated.— Yon tell me tbat it is uni ecessary ; that you are all right ; I happen to know bet ter. That courtesy which I appreciate, suatity which I acknowledge, restricts some, many, in this assembly from inter rupting these remarks (though they . are intended - to be disrespectful 0. nobody) as I have often been' interrupted, with shouts of—" aurrah.fot Douglas ;" and . yet, if lam right in what I have said, the Wide-Awakes are not up an hour too soon „they do not sit up any too late o' nights ; their zeal is not a bit too: strong to save the Seine of lowa from giving her votes, in the present canvass, for a con tinuaiice of that administration Wr .renew al of that administration, which - has for forty years roads slavery the cardinal stitution, and freedom secondary to it in the United States. There is something of excuse and apology fur this; it is in the reluctance which *men who are always opposed to one new idea coining in; have to give up the old idea, which they hove so long cherished. The - Democratic par ty has a wonderful affection for the name, the prestige of the democratic party; and most of them, felrow citizens, must die unconverted. It is not in human eature 'that adult men and women change their opinions with facility; it is Lute ones like these that grow up unobserved and un known. Ten thousand of their votes en ter into every successive canvass in the State'of lowa. In 'every State the ereat reformation which has been made within the last six years-4r we date no farther btielt than that—has bden the .dying out of the one idea men of Democracy and the growing up of the young one idea wen of Repub licanism. .And now why shall we not in sist, so far as our votes shall be effective, that the Territories shall .remain free Ter ritories, so that the new States which shall hereafter be added to this Union shall be free States. They say we have no right to interfere in the slave States; that we attack slave ry in them. ;..Not at all; we do not vote against slavery iu Virginia.. We do not authorize Abraham Lincoln or the Con gress of the United' States to pass any laws about slavery in Virginia. We merely aut hot ize theta to intervene in the Territories, and to pass laws, securing freedom there. They tell US that it is unnecessary. They have rendered it necessary, because they have explained the laws and the constitution to establish slavery there ; and we must either restrict slavery there or reverse the decision made by the federal tribunal. But they tell us- that this is inconvenient; it excites Violence in the slave States. To which I answer that they have the', choice be tween slavery and freedom as Well as we; but they must be content to letive it where it is. When they choose to Carry slaves into the Territories, we interfete. What we . are attacking is not .slaVery in the United States but slavery in- the Territo ries. But they tell us that - we arc suf ferinc, very:great harm ; that, our South ern filends,, driien angry, will not buy of us. Mayor Wood made the discovery that we area trading people, and we shall lose our- trade if the :Republican .party come into power. -We are a trading peo ple as we are an eating people, a drinking people, a - clOthes wearing people. • Trade !

[Loud applause.] Revelations of a Slate Smug gler.” The recent efforts • (too often succers ful) to revive the, horrid traffic in Afri can slaves, which the whole - Christian world has denounced as •• piracy, m a k es these " Revelations" of peculiar interest. The editor is Rev. Henry . Baird Westiof, the Protestant Home Union in the city of :New York. The bock is a narrative of the life of Capt. Philips Drake, said to" 1 have been an "African trader for fifty years.". ..The author describes as follows) the fate of the Poucheeta, with 700 slaves i on board; just purchased at Bedagry. !The vessel was commanded by toniO Mendez, ati old slate smuggler " Our schooner was-loaded beyond cal pacity ; and the deck had been fitted with !temporary platforms, or shelves, as high las the taffrail. Abilve these, stiff netting was drawn to prevent the shackled coin pies from leaping overboard, to commit suicide. In walking the deck, we son times trod on a hand or foot thrust out , liroin the lower tier. Such was the cold- dition of the Pouehaeta"s cargo, when w6 l left the Bight. On our first night out there was frightful battle among. the slaves for rooni and air, although our hatches were of: The crew and overseers restored order by the use of whips and handspikos, bdt not till seventeen negroes hild been elieke)4 to-death, or , so badly gnawed ,iu their' throats by their neighbors, that we weie l obliged to drown them So tightly wee the wretches wedged below,- that the sa!i-I lots had to draW the dead ones out liy main pulling of their legs. 1 About a week out we encountered la severe gale, which drove us. furiously be fore it, all our canvass being taken in. I had, up to this time, kept my resoluti4n of abstaining from think whilst on ship board ;. but the close, sultry weather, and the stench of the negroes, sickened me, so that I indulged that night pretty free ly on potations of Jainacia spirits, until I dropped off to sleep. I was awakened )1 a crash, as if the skies were falling, Mad a yell like a thousand tigers. Springi)ag from my hunk, near the after gangwa, I heard Capt.
