On Monday Evihing, Sept 17 —Thu Anniver

sure, under these circumstances, or addressing

then dream that'l should bo, selected as, the
standard-bearer of. the party to which I have

their candidate for (ho Governorship of the.

, Gentlemen, seventy-three years ago, on this
very spot] hy' a little band, of hold and prttrhi
tie men, a great work was perfonhed—a work
that has.challenged the admiration of the civ
ilized-world.; .A system, of government was
then, adopted by those patriotic men, repre
senting the States of this Union, the equaT.of
"which thbtvorld has never soon; and y‘ou are
hero t wiight to attest your fidelity hf that op-1

I am sorry to say, a great 1 political organiza
tion, the tendency pf. whose' principles; what
ever its members -may say. is to sow disaen-'
nidus.between the States, and tb destroy our
Union; 'They declare that thdyayo' opposed'
tojtho extension of slavery inths/fttrttteries.

principle that endangers the existence,of the
Union. itself. ~ They declare that their .pur
pose extends no fartjher tluin to protect the
Territories of th'p‘*t’hired States from the

statement is delusive, and by it many of -their

Wlio is the groat head of that party i . Mr.
Seward, of . Ne«*yiSrk. He is its head, and
" soul, and life; lie gives it laws; ho shapes
its destinies.- .And ho has not yet disguised
the faet that tho purpose of this organization
■' is to go far’ beyond what they how declare to
- bo their object—to.prevent'the extension of
i slavery, inbi the Territories, Mr. Seward, ip
his Hochester speech, has declared that there
is ah “ irrepressible Conflict” between the sys
tem of free'jabot and that of slave ialiur. aml
that tho United Statesmust and will, sooner
or later* beooniO;.oithp> entirely a froe-I4bor
nation or eptirefy. h, slave-holding nation.”
C.oatlemen, do voh believe tljjit? nViees—
” No, no.”| ’ , r 1 ’ -
Again, spoakiiig in the Senate in regard to
the progress of tho . anti-slavery sentiment,
Sir. Seward said, addressing the won of the
Smith;
“You uiay, indeed, get a start under or
near the: tropics, and- may seem sale for a
time, but it will bo only a short time. , Even
there you' will,found. States only for freejabor
to maintain and occupy. 2Vi e interest nf'ih/e
white race demands the ultimate emrineijjation
erf' all men. Whether that consummation
shall bo allowed to take effect, with needful
and wise precautions against sudden change
nnd:disaster,,or bo hurried.on by violence, is
all that remains for you to decide."
Is if not tho meaning of all this that ypu
'ust pass the limits of the Constitution of the
Vitod'States; that you must go into the

ed toiyou, It,is ,for you now.to determine
whether,this great instrument under which
we have lived, and. under which, every man’s
rights.havo been.secured;; ahallnowho torn in
,tattora, nnd the Union, broken ,up. [Cries of
no, no, no, and applause.] I toll you, gentle
men, that, is. now the issue which, disguise it
os you please, is forced upon us. . ;
. ■ Now? let mo say one word in regard to the
slavery question. Itmay be, perhaps, dry and
Uninteresting, but I wish to speak of one of
the planks in the platform of the- Republican
party—that in. reference to the extension of
slavery, into the, Termorios. That party con
tends that Congress has no power to do, what ?
Not to legislate generally upon the subject of
slavery in the Territories, hut that they have
the power and right to legislate upon one side
(if that question—that they ought to say to the
Southern States, “ although you arc joint own
ers, with us, of .those Territories, you. shall nut
go.there with your property.” The Republi
cans demand that Congress shall prohibit the
i institution of slavery in all the Territories of
this Union. Where does Congress derive any
| such authority from ? What part of the Con
stitution gives Congress the power to legislate
upon both sides? If they, can say slavery
I shall not go into a certain Territory, they can
say it may go there. I say that Congress has
no right to.interfere with the matter at all.—
[Cries of “good, good,” and long-continued
shouts of applause.] There is.no such power
in-Congress, and Twill tell yon why. The
/Congress, of tho United States legislates upon
all questions, under express grants of power
contained tho Constitution. '-Wherever'
there is no grant of power Congress does not,
possess the right to legislate at- all. Now, I
oliallonge any man of the Republican party to
show the where, in all .that, .instrument. Con
gress is authorized to say.that slavery shall not
exist in the Territories. No such authority
can- ho found. ■
But it is argued that,a Government having
the right tb acquire territory, either by con
quest of by purchase, the right to govern that
territory is incident to the right tb acquire it.
I agree that, in ordinary cases, this is the fact,
but it is'only ab where the power acquiring a
territory is supreme—where theft) is no limi
tation upon its powers—hut when the Govorii-’
moot of the United States acquires now torri
tory'it will pot bo contended that tho Congress
of the United States has an unlimited [lower
of legislation, over that territory— : an unlimi
ted sovereignty. It .is.by virtue of their sov
ereignty that they/acquire the territory;' hut,'
,so far as/concerns legislation in regard to the
territory; they are rostrained by the limita
tions of the Constitution under which tho .Go
vernment lias been formed.-; -Now, I maintain
that tho 'clause of the Constitution which is
claimed as bestowing on Congress the right to
legislate for the; Territories does riot confer
tiiis power.in .regard to.-slavery, ■ ,Onr oppo
nents urge... as tlieir authority, that .clause' of
the Constitution which declares OorigrbAa shall
have the' power to dispose of arid rniiko till
needful rules and regulations rbspeetiiig the
territory and other property belonging to the
United States, '
I-Could,-if T had time, exhibit to you the
views of some of the ablest minds of oureuim
try,; all concurring in the opinion that that
clause of the Constitution treats tho Territb-
vies iis property, and does not give to Congress.
Jurisdiction to govern ■ the people. inhabiting
thgt Territory, and to control their private
property,
f The words of that clause are “ that Congress
shall liavb power to dispose of it.” Now, it
cannot' bo : piaiutamikl: that. they have tho*
power to dispose of tho people, as they may of
the land., Congress may sell the laud, may
control it, moy give it aWay, if you please, hut
they cannot sell the people or give them away,!
-Upon -this; subject we “have”"tlio highest
authority in the country maintaining that
the power of Congress to legislate for.the Ter
ritories is not derived froiii that clause of tho
Constitution, - Oiir opponents nro compelled,
then, to fall back upon tho idea ,of,the sover
eignty of the Government thHt'-'Stgamzes the
Territories, and when they avo driven there,
they,have no foundation for the position that
Congress has the right to legislate -upon this
question hi the Territories. I say, then, gen
tlemen, that this is a question not political;
but judicial. .The tribunals constituted by
the iCunstitution must determine these qucs
tbnfc, and I, in common with all law-abiding
citizens, am .willing; to submit to the final ari
bitrament of. the; tribunal, appointed by the
Constitution to interpret that instrument.
’ NqWi'gbntfcmcn, if Idnwe not detained you
too long [Voices: “ Go-,ahead,”] —l will ad
vert to a . question on which the jieqnle ,of
Philadelphia, ps a manufacturing anil com
mercial people,- feel great interest—a question
on which they have the right to know tho
opinions of,the candidates presented for their,
.suffrages. In this very city, not more than
ton days ago,- tho captain-general of tho Re
publican party made an assault upon me, de
claring that J am a free-trade man; that the
record of my : life,, public and private, exhibit
ed the fact; that-.I am and always have boon
in favor of free trade, and against protection,
to American industry. I refer to the speech
made by Col; A. K. M'Cluro, Chairman of
the .Republican State. Committee of this Com
monwealth. Now, Mr.'M’Clure is doubtless
a gentleman of voracity, and this mis-stato
nient l can attribute to nothing but profound
ignorance of my history. Mr. M’Clure char
ges that,-from the earliest period of my,pollti
cablifo,.,! hayo boon, opposed to the doctrine
bf protection. Ho charges that ! have voted
for free-trade Governors, free-trade judges and
free trade Presidents.,
Gentlemen, I hod-tho honor of being in
; Congress in 1844. a tariff sat
isfactory to the manufacturing- interests pf
Pennsylvania. .It was a highly protective tar
iff; ,it.w»s just the port of tariff demanded by
tho great industrial intorosis of Pennsyl
vania. In 1844, whilst ! was in : Congress, ip
bill-was Introduced-,to repeal; or modify the
tariff iff ,1843 b ../When, this great question of
.protection to .American Industry thus Paine,
up in Congress, there sat beside moi in that
body, no less a man than Hannibal Hamlin,
who is now the Republican candidate for Vioo
President of the United-States, Whilst I re
corded,my. votofor the protective policy,iljan
ni.bal Hamlin recorded his . vote against it!
[bough tor and applause.]
Col. M’Cluro charges me, with voting for
free-trade Governors; ;jindon ; thnt subject -lot
me l mention a• single circumstance. At,the
•period-.to, which I .have .just |alluded,.one of
my colleagues in .the Congress -of. the,United
I States was David" Wjjmot, who, a'few years
Since, was the -Republican 'candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, , -.Mr. iWilmpt;was; the
only member qf. Congress from.Ponnsylvanja
that votod-against the protective policy! Yet
that.goplleipau, for .Governor.
■ 1? v®?} 7 at ! W' iMW fb W fp r hy Cpl.M’Ciure
and.Col.Curtip, and all those zealous advo
cates of protection-1' [Laughter and applause.]
They, votod for a free-trade Governor, and now
theyasffyouto veto,’ against, pie ..because,- as
they allege, lam for free-trado ! “ " ' “
Let me state another fact on this subject.
At the period I mention, (1844) that till for
the repeal of the- tariff of. 1843 did notpass.
Ip 1846, the proposition wag-itonpwed,. and
then it was that.tne law. was. passed .striking
•down almost entirely the protective' policy;
because it substituted ad valorem- duties for
speoifle duties. Lot me tell you that ’the
great cpiestion.in regard to this matter of the
•tariff, is between specific duties and ad valorem
duties. Tho moment you abandon the pririci-
Elo of speoifle duties, there is ho protoctiori:
n 1846, when the bill ctttno up repealing the
tariff, of 1842, and adopting a universal ad
valorem principle. Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Wil
mot wore still members of Congress. , That
bill was passed; and both these gentlemen
voted for it, while I voted against it! [Laugh
ter and applause.] Yet, I wonder whether
Col. M'Cluro and his friends will not support
Mr. Hamlin for Vice President of the United
States. I wonder, also, whether they will
riot vote for Mr, Lincoln, whoso opinions on
this questiori neither they nor- anybody else
know anything about. , -
, There is no record of his public life that af
fords any knowledgo pf his views upon this
question. (Applause.) Mr. Lincoln is hold
up as the friend of ; the protective policy, yet
you cannot find a vote ho.ever, gave, “or a
speech ho over made, wherein ho favored the
doctrine of protection at all. My record on
this subject is that which was made years ago,’
when I no more dreamed of being a candidate
for Governor than I dreamed of being made a
cardinal. (Laughter.) You cannot find a
word or a vote of mine, during the whole pe
riod of my service in Congress, in which I did
not advocate,.with all the zeal and ability 1
possessed, the doctrine of protection to Amer
ican industry against foreign competition.— .
(Applause,.) Yet Mr. Hamlin is a better tar
iff man than I am! (A voice, “over the
loft.”) ■ : ■; ; •: j
Let us examine the position of Mr. Hamlin
a little further. In 1855, a proposition was
made in the Senate of the United States to re
in it for three years the payment of duties up
on railroad iron in bond at the custom house.
'Oiir-'Senators', Messrs/Bigler and;lirodhead,
fought that bill day by day and inch ; by inch.
Mr. Brodhoad llbldly and feavlcsslyoiiavged
upon Southern men and New England manu
facturers a combination between them to strike
down-tlio iron interests of Pennsylvania.. Mr.
! Hamlin, then a United States Senator, arose
and inquired of Mr. Brodhead what he.meant
by- that declaration, “ for,” said ho,. “Lam a
great deal of a free-trade man rijyself, rind .1.
intend to vote for this bill.” ; Arid .he did vote
far'it ! ‘ '
Let mo give you another illustra
tshg the insincerity of that party oiWlhis ques
tion of the tariff. Under the tariff of 184,6, al
though our languished, still
they lived. The laborers received employ
meut'though their wages wore not as remuner
ative', as they ought to have been, because the !
profits of the manufacturers "wore greatly di
minished. But in 1857 W hill, was .passed
which still further reduced the duties of the
tariff of 184C.‘ np\V was that bill passed?—
Mr. Banks, (if Massachusetts, was then Sped-’
ker of. the House—-a Republican of the very,
blackest dyrei • (Lauglitor and applause.) On |
the organization, of tqp House, he fippointed ja’
Republican Cummitteb of Afays and Means.
That .odmmitted reported the bill of 1857,—a
bill more destructive to our industrial inter
ests than any that ever passed the Congress
of the United States—a’ bill that affords no
protection at all to the inanufaoluringhnt'oresta
of Pennsylvania. How was that hill ,passed;?
There were flfty.slx Republican votes past in
its favor, and it passed the House of Repre
sentatives. Going to. the Senate, it was amen
ded and was sent back to the House. The
amendments wore not concurred in, and the
bill was sent to a committeeof conference,.
jvhamlMr.LSpnaker-Banks'appointed on thw
part of the House: Did lie appoint a single
man who was in favor of the protective poli
cy ? No, not one. The mombers of that com
mittee wore Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, Mr..
DeWitt, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Letcher,
of Virginia, all of them Republicans,'and the
whole three known to be in favor, of the pas
sage of that bill. : Into such hands it was sent.
That committee, jointly with the Senate com
mittee,.reported that bill, and it was passed. 1
It is now the law of the land, and while it're
mains the law, lot me say, your manufactur
ing interests never will revive. They cannot
revive. More than that, William H. Seward,
the captain of the .Republican party, was a
member of that committee of conference, and
signed the report.
Now, gentlemen, I wish you to understand
ray views upon this question- I said before,
that there can be no tariff beneficial to our in
dustrial interests, which does not proceed upon
the principle of specific duties. The moaning
of that is this; if a ton of foreign iron is im
ported, it pays us so many dollars and so ma
ny cents, according to-the specific principle,
but according to the ad valorem principle, it
pays so much per cent, upon the value of the
article abroad, according to the foreign .in
voice. Under this specific principle the Ame
rican manufacturer lias exactly what ho wants
in the market, steadiness in.the
doty—-which ho does hot have under the ad
valorem principle. You will observe that the
.act of 1857 proceeds entirely .upon the ad va
lorem principle. The duty is levied upon die
price of the foreign article abroad. ..When
that price is high, the duty rises just nt the
moment when tho American manufacturer
does not need the increased duty, but when
the price of the,foreign article fade in the for
eign market the duty goes down, just at the
time when tho American manufacturer needs
[ a higher duty on thi) imported article; jherp
fote, J say that there is no protection without
specific duties.
Lot mo how say a few words in regard to
this slavery agitation, which so distracts, the
country. This agitation, gentlemen, must be;
stopped or the Union must-bo
They make an outcry about slavery, in,the
Territories. Why, gentlemen, there is.no ter
ritory now. belonging to the United States
where slavery can exist. Talk ns you may,
there are laws higher than acts of Congress:
higher than the Constitution, that control and
regulate this question, Wherever free, labor
can go with .advantage, slave labor must re
treat before it.' Slit the. Northern man can-
not go into'the rice swamps and cotton fields
and sugar plantations of the Southern States f
the,white man cannot work there and live;
consequently the cultivators of,the,soil rpuat
avail themselves of negro Ifibor. 1 It is a'ques
tion for them whether they will have free, (jr
slave labor. Why. then,.should there. not;ho
on end of agitation on this subject? : Slavery,
will never exist in any territory now belong
ing to tho United States. For this reason; if
for no other, this agitation should cease. Tho :
purpose in creating this excitement is merely
to acquire political power, to obtain the “ loaves
cod fishes” of tho Govornment. (Applause.)
■ : XiCt this, agitation ceased Let no .violent
hands be' placed upon that sacred instrument,
the Constitution Of the-United States; for if
that ho not sacredly maintained, there is ,no
security for.any,one within the . Union. J)o,
not allow yourselves to think about adisaola-

tha.t if this Union,hud been formed W force—
if it had been established by the warlike exer

expect to maintain its integrity by the . same

If I hayp not detained you too long, let nio
say a few words.more in regard to the tariff;
and I only a v dvei*t to this matter because Col.
M* Cluro has directed the attention of the peo
ple of Pennsylvania to it. ■ At the last session
of Congress Ai bill passed thp house,of Uepre
sentqtiyes, which has been called ,tho Mor
rill-tariff,bill. It went to the Senate, and, .in
the words of Gol. I'd' CJuro, was kijled dead/'
Ho states that'l wont thero begging the Sen?
ato-to pass it because it would operate politi
cally in ( my .ffutor :in Pennsylvania. Now,.
gentlemen, I would no more have gone to tijo

that kind than *I would out off this right arm, 1
(Applause.-)/ ; :P would pot. degrade myself by
WWPg such an .appeal to meriibors of .that
august I did, go there arid talk with,
those Senators. I told them that the groat
manufacturing interests of Pennsylvania de
manded.at^thb.hands of tlie* Government this
measure of protection;,that, besides, the no
cessities of thp.Govornmept called fojr this in
crease of revenue, I 'told them how the net
of 1857 was passed, that by thoaid 0f§187,000

.it WM -lobbied thrdugh v Congrcss. ,I,asked

which sh.o had the right to ash; and siive'the
Government .from the necessity of making
loans, land issuing .treasury notes to. moot its
dfa .necessary expenses. VjJut ,Col. M’ Clure
says that J <3id nothing there. The fact is this j
the J bill'was brought to the Senate’ within { a

that'/it’be postponed until/next’iDeoembor.'
