The Delate in llio Spanish Cortes
on tho Abolition of tho "Pecu
liar lustitiition" Senor
' Cnstell&rVKJreat Speech
" in lIcLalf of Hu
man Rights.
In session of tbe Spanish Cortes Constitu
yentes, on June 20, 1870, the discussion be
ing upon the question of the abolition of
slavery, Senor Castellar made a speech which
created a profound impression throughout
Europe, as noticed in our cable despatches at
the time. He said:
Sonores Deputies Either I do not under
stand tho law which is being discussed, or it
proposes the gradual abolition of slavery.
My amendment proposes immediate aboli
tion. Those who formerly sustained slavery
now support gradual abolition. As for us,
we have always sustained tho contrary, imme
diate abolition. I will now prove by reason,
by historical records, by statistics, that my
idea is the only one promising salvation, and
that the idea of the committee and of tho
government has within it tho germs of great
and fearful catastrophes.
I desire to avoid a great calamity the ruin
of our national honor. If yon would have
nations prosper, shine, increase, think, and
labor gloriously, infuse into them an idea of
progress. All people who have obeyed groat
ideas have been elevated to riches and glory.
Every nation which has obeyed eQ'ete ideas
has been ruined, and has lost its influence
over the human conscience. I come, then,
to ask that the Spanish nation shall elevate
itself on the high plane of social principles,
which are the secret of all prosperity and
grandeur. "We astonished the world at the
beginning of the revolution of September.
We did bo because upon waking up to modern
life philosophical theories were disooncerted,
as well as those of a social and political char
acter, founded, as they all were, upon the
supposition of our irremediable decadence.
For this reason our resurrection surprised
the world. All hoped that we would give the
first example of a transformation due to the
intelligence and to tho force of a psople
abandoned to itself. We ought to give the
xample not only to Europe, but likewise to
America. We shall always bo an American
power. Ilistorio deeds, however extraordi
nary they may have been, run back through
many ages, and Spaniards cannot by thoir
arms, nor can Americans by their ingratitude,
obliterate from memory the fact of the dis
covery of America, which is our work.
America, notwithstanding her independence,
an act logical and natural, will ever continue
to be the delight of our spirit. And when
the Americans (Spanish) shall seek, with a
view to checking the greedy impulse of the
Saxon race, to establish a great confederacy,
made up of different confederacies, in order
to invoke the fundamental unity of their
origin, they will be compelled to recur to the
language which we speak, and the blood
which courses our veins. But more: To
httain this end it is necessary for us to hold
in these American lands what is ours a
policy truly democratic.
The revolution of September was an auspi
cious moment for the initiation of this policy.
Providence favored us. After many useless
attempts, the submarine cable, giving a sort
of spine to our planet, passed and transmitted
from one continent to the other its respective
ideas, its respective sentiments. How better
could we have used this marvel of industry
than by its metallio fibres to have transmitted
in the sparks of the lightning itself tho aboli
tion of colonial regime for the whites and the
abolition of the servile regime for the ne
groes? We did not do so: and some day or
other we shall repent of it, however sad and
useless that may then be. And still it is said
from the Conservative benches that we must
await representatives from Cuba. I do
not understand how this is demanded by
those who have held our Antilla subject to
exceptional rules. You submitted Cuba to a
military despotism. Our kings, who were
constitutional here, were over there absolu
tists; , our ministers, who were responsible
here, 'over there were arbitrary. You held
the press under censure and its opinions
under gag. You disposed of the rights of
the people without hearing them, and of their
tribunes without consulting them. The land
of liberty stopped with the Canaries, and
when the new Spanish world commenced,
then began the dominion of absolutism which
no people can endure without great political
suffering. Never did you recognize the right
of the colonies to be represented here, and
when we asked that there should be received
the most unfortunate of them all, you pro
claimed our incompetency, and asked that the
whites should come here to decide the fate of
the negroes; that the masters should come to
decide the lot of the slaves, ah! of the slaves,
free without them and without us; free in
spite of them and of us; free against them
and against us; free by reason of their being
children of God, by the sovereignty of nature,
because of their being members of the human
family. And every power which fails to
recognize these primordial rights, whatever
may be the law, or whatever convenience
may dictate, commits assassination upon the
human conscience, an assassination upon the
soul a crime which celestial rage punishes,
and which damns itself with an everlastiug
infamy in the hell of history. (Applause. )
The question as to whether or not negroes
are property shall not delay my argument. I
have never believed such an absurdity. This
law, judged by the light of my principles,
cannot be approved. These enianelpmlos,
who live under a transmissible patron for
many years, will be oppressed and driven
about upon the earth. These old me a and
women, who will only become free when they
shall become useless, remind me of those
serfs whom the ancients consecrated to Eiau
lapius, leaving them to die on an island in the
Tiber. This law will emancipate the negroes
in fifty years. Gradual epochs in the matter
of abolition are horrible; they engender all the
servile wars, the most bloody of all wars. It has
been attempted a thousand times, and has
always failed. The slave has a foretaste of
his liberty, and struggles against his irons.
The master knows that he is going to lose
bis slave, and so squeezes out the laat drop
of bis sweat upon the field. When emanci
pation comes, that which is given up to free
dom is a dead body. No; the interest of the
master, who desires to preserve bis property,
and tbe rights of the slave who desires to bo
free, cannot be served at one and the saute
time. , That is impossible.
The two difficulties in the way of the aboli
tion of slavery are: rirbt, the disrepute into
which labor falls; and, second, the dispro
portion between the slave and free popula
tion.
Jn tie Erjjlihh voloaU'S this '.lir-i;,
Was ft.nrminn. In them there wai not a froa
laborer. This did not stop the English, for
they abolished slavery. We ourselves have
in our Antilles a much greater free than
slave population. In . Porto Rico there are
42,000 slaves and 350,000 freemen. In Cuba
there are 700,000 froemen and 300,000 slaves.
The negro race will bo thankful for freedom,
ftna, iar irom raising tne banner of insurrec
tion, it will cover you with benedictions.
And what I say of the population I repeat as
to labor. It is not possible that labor should
fall into disrepute where there are so many
free laborers. In Cuba 300,000 negroes are
forced to labor by the side of 300,000 volun
tary laborers. Were this not so, tho public
wealth would disprove it. A sta
tistician of Puerto Principe demon
strates that slavery has been in the
descending and wealth has been in the
ascending scale. For the year IsOO her Vner
cantile transactions reached the amount of
$13,000,000, whereas years before they were
not larger than $7,000,000 per annum. The
lesser fruits, which require but littlo labor or
land, make up nine-tenths of the riches of
the whole island. In reacting times, commis
sioneis from Cuba and Porto llico come here.
The commissioners of Cuba asked for aboli
tion in twelve years, but those from Porto
Ilico asked that it should be granted at once,
with or without indemnity. These men de
served to be placed upon an equality with
those who, in 17W), renamed their privileges
and proclaimed the rights of all. Go with me
over contemporaryhistory, and you will find
nowhere gradual abolition, It was in the
second year of tho French Republic. A
negro, a slave, had come up from the
bottom of his slave den to the Convention
to a perception of the height of the human
coEscience. He asked liberty for his race,
and the Assembly vacillated, as all those po
litical organizations which pass the dividing
lines of great social hemispheres. But many
great orators spoke, and among them Danton,
who was the thought and energy of the revo
lution. The Assembly, moved at last by
great thoughts, voted unanimously the aboli
tion of servitude. A cry of joy arose from all
parts, as if the human race would palpitate
with pleasure at freeing the conscience from
such a gloomy weight of anxious thought.
The negroes who were at Paris entorod the
building, scattered along the benches, and,
with tears in their eyes, embraced their re
deemers. These tears shed by the liberated
serfs were sufficient to efface from the human
memory all tho blood spilt by the convention
jn its delirium, and in the sottishness of its
ideas'.
To estimate properly gradual reforms, no
race has a greater aptitude than the Saxon.
In England seldom does one man initiate and
achieve a reform. Some begin the work,
others propagate the idea, and others put it
in practice. Electoral reform, Catholic
Emancipation, the corn laws all this was
effected gradually in England; but not so the
abolition of slavery. The effort was made,
but it required thirty years of Titanic labor
to abolish the slave trade. In 1832 the pro
ject for immediate abolition was presented to
and adopted by the two houses. England
had spent $400,000,000 to redeem her negroes.
Never will the human conscience sufficiently
thank her, nor will history applaud her as
much as it ought.
But there is another example which shows
how impossible is gradual abolition. This
example serves as a veritable humanitarian
and religious epopee. America had been bom
in order that it should be the Paradise of
man free, of man regenerate; yet it was there
that Blavery budded. The evil was so great
that it touched the United States of North
America, and so intense was it that it pro
faned even the bosom of the republic. Not
all of it, however, fell into the accursed
den. Jefferson trftCed the line
where the black line of Blavery should
be broken. But the slave parly had so
grown that they were on the eve of passing
that line. Then a navigator of the Mississippi
and the Ohio, a Senator from the Great
West, went up to the Capitol at Washington,
and when the slave-owners gave utterance
to their loudest defiance, he broke the chains
of 3,000,000 of men; and that nothinp might
be wanting to his glory, not even martrydom
itself, he died, as did Socrates, as Christ, as
all Redeemers, at the foot of his work, over
which forever humanity will shed its tears
and God His blessings. (Applause.)
I know that many in this chamber believe
that such grand things are exclusively the
roperty of the Saxon race; but our' own,
ikewise, has performed them. Look at the
examples of the American republics. Bolivia
abolished slavery in 1820; Peru, Guatemala,
Montevideo in 1828; Mexico in 1820; New
Granada in 1849; Venezuela in 18."3. The
President of that republio, Monagas, began
by supporting gradual abolition, but ended
by declaring immediate abolition. The new
French republio triumphed on the 24th of
February, 1848. On the 7th of March it
called together the commission charged with
the abolition of slavery. The greater part of
French mercantile cities protested; the
owners of the slaves protested; but the reform
was brought about with an energy and a gran
deur of spiritwhich are so muoh to bethe more
admired as the poverty of our spirit is made
plainer.' During all the reign of Louis
Pkilippe the owners were opposed to reform.
They did not desire it under operation of law,
but they found it under the revol ation. They
asked for preparation, and did not find it;
for time, and could not get it; previous in
demnity, but it was later coming; they dis
dained to receive $300 each for their slaves,
and had to content themselves with $100.
One day they arose doubting whether a slave
was a human being, and before the sun had
set saw him elevated to the dignity of a
citizen. What glory for the French revolu
tionists of February ! What shame for the
Spanish revolutionists of September! The
French colonies, emancipated, are free, rich,
and happy.
It is said: lint bow muun ricner 11 our
island of Cuba! Ah! but what crimes follow
in the wake of slavery! With this infamy
existing there can be no justice. When the
Recent of the Kingdom ceased to be Captain-
General, the free negroes not so much bv
that fact but by the law were again reduced
to servitude. What tribunals of iustioe!
General Pezuela, during his short adminis
tration, captured 4000 contraband negroes
landed from slave-ships. Lord Aberdeen
said on a certain oocasion that, notwithstand
ing 2000 negroes had been captured in a term
of years, thousands bad goue in the
meantime upon the sugar estates.
Lord Russell calculated tho number of
such as entered the island every year
at a large figure. Rich and beautiful
Cuba, thy plains are as a fl wer-garden; tiara
is not within thy borders a poisonous reptile,
and there fioat upon thy breezes choirs of
birds which lift up an eternal symphony to
the heaveup, enamelled as they are by a in iio
lifcht. But if now there fall upon those
plains torrents of blood, these torrents have
been engendered by the evaporations of the
drops which the lah of the white man has
torn from tbe filnn of the nonroos. Thai,
i ste on viie eud th-3 o'.lu-r htud ihtj
cruelty of this war a cruelty which I equally
condemn in boln parties 1 think we are pay
ing the just expiation of our national wrong,
the crimes engendered by slavery.
The parties who make up this Chamber
cannot repel my idea. The Conservative
party represents stability, and a society can
not be stable when given over to the tor
ments of a servile civil war, the irremediable
consequence of a gradual abolition. The
Progresista party, which never was abashed
by kingly prestige, nor before the privileges
of the slave-trader, cannot do so. The Demo
cratic party derives its doctrine from the in
nate tights of man, and cannot make an ex
ception against the negro in the universal ap
plication of rights. The Republicans unite
the days of the republic to those most auspi
cious days when the slave shall be made free.
Modern slavery is more horrible than ancient
slavery. The old slavery had for its origin
war, but modern slavery had for its origin
the slave trade. Ancient slavery was founded
in some metaphysical principle. Aristotle
thought the family was a triangle, and on the
sides were ranged parents, the children and
the slaves. It is certain that many of these
exercised duties in their natures noble, thoy
exerted a powerful influence, and counted
among them illustrious names. In modern
slavery no Terence is to be found, no Epicte
tns. Modern Blavery is brutal. Man in that
condition is reduced to a mere labor machine.
And yet it is said we thus speak because we
own fao slaves. We neither have them, nor
do we desire to have them. We have been
slaves; we have ourselves suffered. Plebeians
in the persons of our ancestors have been
bought and sold, and martyrized or put to
death under the vile yoke of slavery. Agree,
Senores Deputies, to this, and be just.
Agree to break the chains from the slaves,
your brothers, (and you will have put the cap
stone to our age, which will be then the
grandest of all if it shall prove to be the age
of the final and definite redemption of all the
slaves. I have said.
