LIBERTY OR DESPOTISM.
Letter From Casaitui M. Clay.
JULY 19, 1855
EDS.-GAZETTE : TO-morrow Igo to
the field of contest, to determine
whether the liberty of speech and
religious freedom is longer possible in
*slave State. I In this unequal struggle,
as the result cannot be foreseen, I
deem it due my own character and
th e great issue pending to say a part
ing word through a press where sup
pression is impossible. Born and bred
i n a slave State, every hour of my ex
perience compels me to avow that the
world has not yet begun to conceive
the consistent Jesuitism and unfathom
able atrocity of the slave propaganda !
They who stand at the cradle, ignoring
the holy sentim ents which consecrate
the pledgee of devoted and mutual
loge,-to catechise God's noblest work,
end to stifle the immortal aspiration of
a human soul, are not the men to show
magnanimity, or indulge in the weak
ness of justice, mercy and truth !
It is their vocation to dominate over
the human mind, and to subject brute
power to the superior force of intel
lect. Gentle, polished, and winning
—stern, bullying, and remorselessly
cruel—appealing at one time to the
sentiments, now to the .passions, and
then to the fears of men—they must be
"cunning in fence," indeed, who can
stand up under such odda. No won
der, then, that they have taken posses
sion of the press, the pulpit, and the
government ; and that the boasted
liberties of the American people lie
crushed and bleeding under their iron
heel! But despotism is, under what
ever name, everywhere the same ; and
its chief and last resort is form To
that has the Slae Power now come.
Its organs threaten to drive out the
new Congress with arms—renewed
violence swells on westward. and can
non, and the rifle, and the bowie-knife,
overthrow the civil power; and despot.
ism rules supreme in places of vaunted
"popular sovereignty"—in the great
prairies so often solemnly pledged to
Liberty, to Civilization and Christiaui
ty.
When Governor Reeder is threaten
ed with a halter and assaulted with
intent to kill the representative of the
American sovereignty, and Franklin
Pierce, who was very manly in sum
moning the nation's power to the re
capture of a poor trembling fugitive
from slavery, repudiates his own
government and plunges the sword pf
justice into the heart of his own
standard-bearer, it cannot be expected
that I should advance, urroppoed, the
vanguard of the "Republican" army in
the midst of its enemies. 1 seo now,
I have long-seen, the meshes gathering
around me. Let no man, therefore,
too harshly reprove trelf the instincts
ofself-preservation have caused me to
cry out too wildly for the composed
ears of self-deluding nation, against
the ever-onward march of Despotism!
When Don , las Co. repealed the
Missouri Compromise, how could I
refrain from denouncing them as
wortity (i:death 1 Noss' from me, not
fur me, comes the imprecation. I and
mine will be forrzotten in the great
issues of this crime, arid my voice will
be silenced amid the tears—the blood
—,the woe which fidlow iu its wake,
and the lamentations of the widows
and the orphans which it will have
made! No, to all America that time
has rome—Liberty or Despotism!
The Courier of Louisville found us
quietly at our work. It called upon
its myrmidons to imitate the deeds of
Atchison and Douglas and Stringfellow.
Ready with pistol and bowie-knife,
they silence John U. Fee, the fearless
rnartyr-spirit of our patty, in Religion.
lfa lie had not followed fast in the
footsteps of this execution, this had
not been tho land of slavery ! He is
/a/sdy accused of distributing tracts to
the slaves, and exciting insurrection!
Mr. Fee sends his denial to the Courier,
with the programme of his action, laid
doWn in the Annual Report of the
American Missionary Society. Did
he retract his calumny? did he publish
its refutation 1 No, that would not
have been like the mercenary tool of
despotism. Zit/.card he is condemed
and silenced !
I come to the rescue of my friend,
the defender of my cause. Now, once
na,re against me, also unheard, the
eerier publishes a libellous letter,
Jesuitically invokes bloodshed ! The
resolutions - passed at the Jessamine
meeting, and published in the Cinctn
wi Gazelle, were read at the assem
blies at Bush Creek and Scaffold Cave,
that there might be no question about
our motives and actions. I know too
Well the scoundrelism of that party to
trust myself to their magnanimity. I
flatter myself that my name is placed
beyond the sphere of calumny, and all
. 41 :r past history gives assurance that
my friends may have cause to mourn
y fate, but never my principles.
I call your attention once mote to
my letter to the :Very - York Tribune,
after the Nebraska crime. I ask of you
the favor of its republication. I am
cheered that I find myself in sympathy
with the great minds and heroic hearts
Of the Nation. Thank God for 'this
foretaste of "the good time coming!"
All hail, Ohio! all hail, the North! all
hid, the REPUBLICAN PARTY!
Go on, then, with the sentiments of
the 13th of July inscribed on our ban
lers---July the 4th and July the 13th:
may they both be eras to be ever re
membered among men! when the
aspirations of the great Jefferson shall
be fulfilled, and the revolution begun
in '76 shall commence being completed
in '551.
But we shall not have a peaceful
triumph. Deity vindicates and ex
piates the violation of His eternal law i s.
Blood consecrates ever the remorse of
great wrong. Standing here, under
the acknoWledged respoialibilities of
home and country, which no man can
at will put on or off ; I calmly look
destiny, whatever it may be, in the
face ; but living, or dying, my aspira
tion shall be immortal—may our coun
try yet be free
Your obedient servant. -
From the Evening Post
SIGNS OF THE TINES.
It would be difficult-to name any
act of our federal administration, since
our government was organized, which
the people of the free States so unan
imously condemned, as the recent re
moval of the Governor of Kansas.
What makes this-unanimity the more
significant, is the fact that Governor
Reeder was personally to favorite
with the North, and his appointment
to the governorship of Kansas, gave
to the free States much more concern
than gratification. The circumstances,
however, under which he has been
superseded, invest him with a peculiar
interest, and seem to have given to
the manner of his sacrifice a -degree
of importance which it is difficult to
overstate.
The Pennsylvanians feel the •indig
nity with peculiar severity. They
think the President has deserted one
of their honored fellow-citizens in the
hour-of danger, and then tried to defile
his character, as an excuse for not
sustaining him. The press of the
whole North is almost undivided in
the opinion that Reeder's removal was
merely the consummation of the orig
inal purpose of the Nebraska bill, and
that in the selection of his successor,
the same has been kept in view.
It is said by one of our exchanges,
the Detroit Adrertiser, that Mr. Daw
son, the new Governor, recently went
cn board a' steamer on Lake Superior,
proclaimed his repentance of the vote
be gave for the Nebraska bill, and
with the views he now entertains, will
have neither the inclination nor cour
age to accept.the appointment - which
the President has conferred upon him.
It is also intimated in some quarters,
that the President expected him to.
decline, or at least not go to Kansas,
and thus furnish a pretext for the con
tiuuanco of 'Woodson, the Secretary,
now acting Governor of the Territory,
at the head of affairs, until the work
of legalizing slavery in the 'Territory,
shall have been as fully accomplished
as possible.
What importance deserves to be
attached to those intimations, we can
not say. The course of the Executive .
will doubtless depend not a little
upon the result of the southern elec
tions for the current month. It was
to secure a few- members of Congress
in North Carolina and Tennessee that
Reeder was sacrificed, and if the elec
tions there•do not result favorably to
the Administration, it may conclude to
abandon any farther "prospecting" in
that.quarter, and direct its attention to
the fall elections in New York Ohio,
a :d Peunslyvania.
It is
. never too late to do right; but
it is already too late fur President
Pierce to inspire the .people of the
northern States with much confidence
in his patriotism, or respect for his
understanding. He has given theAl
too many evidences of a deficiency of
both. Any efforts lie may make to
repair the wrong he has done to the
new countries which have been re
c4;.ined from the wilderness during
his administration, will only serve to
convict him of the vacillation and
weakness which seems to characterize
every feathre of public policy which
bears his impress.
Among the expressions of public
sentimcnt with which our columns are
laden tcis morning, will be found an
article from the Elmira• Gazette, to
which we invite the special attention
of those who think the Democratic
State Convention should be silent
upon the slavery policy of the admin
istration, and confine itself strictly to
questions of State concern. We agree
with that print fully. We hope the
democracy of New York will not be
drummed like bees by the tin-pan
clamor of State finances, into the hive
which has been placed for them. by a
clique of federal dependants who nat
urally desire nothing so much now as
silence upon federal questions.
- 1 While aspirants for the succession
are hatching their presidential eggs in
southern sands, it may be very conve
nient to have the the attention of the
northern people diverted to some
other object, but that trick is worn
out.. It .has succeeded twice ; it will
not succeed again. There can be but
one leading issue in the next election
in this State, and that will be on the
approval or disapproval of the course
of the administration - in Kansas. All
other questions must be only inciden
tal and subordinate. Silence upon
that subject is approval, and approval
will be destruction.
Good temper is like a Bunny day
From the Detroit Democrat and.Enenirer.
Mr. Wheeler, it is known, is the
accredited Minister of this country- to
Nicaragua, and is most certainly pre
sumed not to be - ignorant of the fact,
that, in bringing his slaves to a free
State, they became by that act emanci
pated. And knowing this. he seemed
to have relied upon the attachment of
his slaves for him, or upon the ties
which bound them to relations still at
the South. In this he was disappointed.
He ran a risk, which eventuated con
trary to his expectations, and he has
no right to complain: - --:.
But there is a far more important
consideration than this to be reflected
upon. The courts have adjudicated
the law by which slaves, voluntarily
brought to a freo State, become free,
with grave regard to the vital interests .
of the northern States. The South has
enacted laws for the protection of her
institutions, all of them severe and
harsh, and souse of them clearly un
constitutional. No consideration for
peculiarities of northern feeling deters
her for an instant, in enforcing those
laws with the utmost rigor. She im
' prisons colored seamen from the .n'orth,
who visit her ports, subjecting them
to heavy expense, which sometimes is
only liquidated by selling them into
slavery. All this is done by southern
laws, and southern public opinion.—
And yet it becomes - a terrible thing if
a northern State enforces its own laws,
and brings the power of its public
opinion to bear upon a southern man.
We hear charges of treason and bad
faith at once, but fortunately the con
victions of most men are accessible to
reason.
C. M, CLAY
Bin farther, the right of a free State
to declare slaves which may be brought
within its borders free, is highly im
portant for the conservation of its Bill
of Rights, and cannot be surrendered.
Let there be a *general surrender of
this right, and slavery is nationalized.
True, it will only be a right of transit
Or limited continuance at least, but. in
its train would follow incalculable
evils. Contrary to the general public .
sentiment, it would excite acerbity of
feeling. It would naturally incite the
colored people of the North to acts of
violence in emancipating their brethren
which would load to still greater es
trangement between North and South.
And, if that much were granted, more
would be presumed upon, and our
courts would be filled with a character
of litigation fruitful of the most in
flamed feeling and 'angry expression.
Slavery is purely a local institution;
and it is not safe to consider . it in any
respect otherwise. It is due the
dignity, as well as demanded. by the
welfare of the free that they do
not consider it otherw:_s.
Difficulties dissolve before a cheerful spirit
like snow drifts nefore the sun.
