Turn again to Virginia. There is scarcely a new town, except at one or two pouils, within her whole borders. Her ancipnt villages w ear the appearance of mournful decay, ller min erals and timber unwrought. Her noble wa terpower is but partially occupied. Her fine harbors are without ships, except from other ports; aud her sea-port towns are without commerce, are failing to decay. Ask your self the cause, sir, and I will abide the answer. It is essential to the ex stence of republics that education should be generally diffused among the people. Slavery prevents tiffs. Rich men employ private tutors, or send their children abroad. But the children of the peo- j pie generally cannot he educated without the instrumentality cf district schools. In slave siatoe, where the plantations are large, the white population is too sparse ever to maintain i them. Beside there is another fata! obstacle to them in the aversion of the rich to associ ate with the poor. The poor while laborer's children couid never be permitted to mingle in the same schools and sit upon the same benches with the rich man's sous. That would be offensive. Slavery enfeebles a nation in war as well a in peace. It is impossible that a nation of masters and slaves can be as powerful and formidable either in offensive or defensive war as a nation of freemen. A large portion of the population must remain at home to prevent the rebellion of those who are constantly in a state of latent warfare with their oppressors. I know, sir, we have had a most alarming de seription of the prowess of the South. \\ e have heard their cannon roar; eccn their bay onets bristle: heard the war-cry of their charg ing chivalry, and seen their bowie-knives gleam within this hail, in the vivid picture of the terrible gentleman from North Carolina, (MR. CLING MAN.) We have often been modestly reminded of the ' blood and treasure, and the pallantry of the South." Tins 1 do not dispute. 1 am proud to admit that -she has furnished many ' gallant sonf, whose names will adorn the brightest pages of our history, both for the war of the revolution, the war of 1312, and the war which we lately assumed as the ally of Texas and of slavery. I give her full credit : for her patriotism in furnishing most of the men who have borne the official burden of the Government both 111 the civil and the military list. 1 know, too, that she has furnished the kind of nun tor our armies whe arc apt to be distinguished when great deeds are done. For it is only the officers and commanders of ar mies who live m story. The stout hearts and strong arms of the common soldiers that fight ■ the buttles and win the victories are unknown to fame. Their birthplace is not sought for; their graves are undistinguished. And the Mouth huß always furnished officers for our armies; Presidents for the Republic, most of our for eign ambassadors, heads of departments, chiefs of bureaus, and, sometimes, in her proud hu mility, has consented that the younger sons of her dilapidated houses should monopolize the places of clerks and messengers to the Gov ernment. But whence are drawn the com mon soldiery, the men who peril their lives, and win victorirs for your glory ? Almost en tirely from the free States, except in cases of sudden emergency, when volunteers are called nearest the scene of danger. The present Secretory of War, a southern gentleman of great ability, and strenuous for southern rights, says in his report: "According to the practice which has long "prevailed, the great majority of enlistments "is made in the northern Atlantic cities and " the adjacent interior towns, whence the re cruits are sent to the general depot fir in "f.truction, and finally distributed to the South ern an I Western poets, according to the " wants of the service." Yea, sir, our northern freemen have always filled the ranks of the regular army. '1 lie Mouth has lent us tho gentlemen to wear the epaulettes and the sword ; to take command of our troops, and lead them to southern and southwestern climates to tight the frontier bat tles, and whiten your fields w itli their bone*. I am opposed to the diffusion of slavery be cause confining it within its present limits will bring the States themselves to its gradual abo lition. I.et this disease spread,and although it will render the whole body leprous and loath some, yet it will long survive. Confine it,and • like the cancer that ia tending to tho heart, it must bo eradicated or it will eat out the vita's. The sooner the patient is convinced of this, the sooner lie will procure the healing opera . lion. , The learned and able gentleman from Vir ginia, (.Mr. Meade,) in a pamphlet which he laid upon our table, takes the same view of it. He says, " Virginia has a slave population of , near half a million, tchose value is chiefly I At pendent on southern demand." Let us pause for a moment over this humiliating con fession. In plain English, what does it mean ! That Virginia is new only fn to be the 'under, nut the employer, of slaves. That she is re duced to ihe condition tiiat her proud chivalry are compelled to turn slave-traders for a liveli hood! Instead of attempt.ug to renovate the soil, and by their own honest labor compelling the'earth to yield her abundance; instead of f seeking for the be.-t breed of horses and cattle to feed on her hills and valleys, and fertilize the land, the sons of that grsat Slate must de vote their time to selecting and grooming the I most hasty sires and the most fruitful wenches, to support the slave hairacoons of lite South ? , And the learned gentlemen pathetically !(•-- j merits that the profits of this genteel traffic w ill ho great ly lessened by the circumscription of Slavery ! This is his picture, not mine. The same gentleman says in the same speech : "If we intend to submit to the policy of; . "confining the slaves within their present lim- j " i;?, we should commence forthwith the work i "of gradual emancipation; it ia ati easier " work for us; lian our children." The eloquent gentleman from Alabama, (Mr. Milliard,) is of the same opinion, lie said, " H E must make up our minds either to resist the interdict ion oj the progress of slavery, or to submit to anorganic change in our tnsti lutions." Yes, sir, this admitted result is, to my mind, one of the most agreeable conse quences of the legitimate restriction of slavery. Confine this malady within its p-eeent limits. Surround it by a cordon of freemen that it j cannot eprrad, and in lets than twenty-five years every siaveholdiSg State in this Union will have on its statute books a law for the gradual and final extinction of slavery. Then will have been consummated the fondest wish es of every patriot's heait. Then will our ' fair country be glorious indeed ; and be to pos terity a bright example of the true principles of government —of universal freedom. 1 am opposed to the extension of slavery into the territories now free, for still graver reasons —because 1 am opposed to despotism through cut the world. 1 admit that this Government cannot preach a crusade of liberty into other j States and nations, much as she abhors tyrants and tyranny. There she can onlv mourn over its existence, hut when the question of gov ernment is within her own conlrol, and phe permits despotism to exist, HUH sil? its diffu- ■ aion, she is responsible for it in the face of the civilized world, and before the God of liberty. : In my judgement, not or.lv the slave States but the Genera! Government, recognising and j aiding as it does slavery, is a despotiam. Ido not use the word in a declamatory, but strictly iegai signification. That government ia de potic where the rulers govern subjects by their own inere will —by decrees and laws emanat ing from their uncontrolled will, in the enact- I meat and extension of which the ruled have no voice, and under which they have no right?, except at the will of the rulers. Despotism does not depend upon the number of tlie rulers, or me number of the subjects. It may have cne ruler or many. Koii.e wae a despotism I under Nero; so was she under the triumvi rate. Athens was a despotism under her thir ty tyrants; under her four hundred tyrants; under her three thousand tyrants. Tt has been generally observed that despotism increases in severity witii the number of despots ; the re sponsibility is more divided, and the claims : more numerous. The triumvirs each demand- ! ed his victims. The ttnaller the number of j subjects in proportion to the tyrants the more | cruel the oppression, because the less danger from rebellion. In this Government the free white citizens are the rulers —the sovereigns as we delight to he called. Ail others are subjects. 'J lu re are, perhaps, some sixte?r. or seventeen millions of sovereigns, and some tour millions of subjects. The rulers and the ruled are of all color?, from the clear white of the Caucasian tribes to the awartny Ethiopian. The former, by cour tesy, are ail called white. The latter black. In this Government the subject has no rights, social, political and personal. He has no voice in tiie laws which govern him He can hold ii) property. His very wife and children are not his. IJ is labor is anothers. He, and all that appertain?- to turn, are the absolute pro perty of his rulers. He i? governed, bought, sold, punished, executed, by laws to which he never gave his assent, and by rulers whom he never chose. He is not a serf, mereiv vith half the rights of men like the stbject of de spotic Russia ; hut a naked slave, stripped of every right which God and nature gave him, and which the high spirit of our revolution declared inalienable—which he himself could not surrender, and which man could not take from him. Is he not then the subject of* de spotic sway ! The slaves of Athens and Rome were free in comparison. They had some rights—could acquire some property ; could choose their own musters, and purchase their own freedom; and when free, could rise in social and political life. . The slaves of America then lie under the most absolute end grinding despotism that the world ever saw. But, who are the despots! The rulers of the country —the sovereign people! Not rnereiy the slaveholder w ho cracks the ia?h. lie is hut the instrument of Despousm. That despotism is the government of the slav e States, and the United States, consisting of all its ru lers— all the free citizens. l)o net look upon this a? a paradox, because you and 1 and the sixteen millions of rulers are free. The rulers of every despotism are free. Nicholas of Rus sia, is free. The Grand fSu'tan of Turkey i? free. The Butcher of Austria ia free. Au gustus, Antony, ami Lepidus were free while they drenched Rome in blood. The Thirty Tyrants; the Four Hundred ; the Three Thou sand, were tree while they hound their coun trymen in chains. You. and I, and the sixtcn millions, are free, while we fasten iron chains, and rivet manacles on fuur millions of our fel low men ; tear their wives and children from them; separate them; sell them and doom them to perpetual, eternal bondage. Are we not then despots—despots such ns history will brand and God abhor ? But we are told that this is none of our busi ness. That southern slavery is ? matter be tween the slaveholders and their own con sciences. I trust it may be so decided by im partial history, and the unerring Judge, that we may not be branded with that great stigma, and that grievous burden may not weigh upon our souls. But could we liopo for that justifi cation, if now, when we have the power to prevent, we should permit this evil to spread over thousands W square leagues n<>w free, and settle ujon unborn millions ! Bir, for myself, t i should look upon any northern man, enlight ened by a northern education, who would di reclly or indirectly, by emission or commission; by basely voting or cowardly skulking, permit it to spread over one row! of God's free earth, ns a traitor to liberty ami recieant to his God! Slavery tends to render the people among whom it is planted, arrogant, insolent, intoler ant, and tyramcal towards the freemen of other parts of the Union. The honorable member front Virginia, from whom 1 have already quo ted, [Mr. MEAI>C,] says, speaking of slavery, " Our past history te.-tities to the fact that it elevates the character of the white man.— Though ice half beta in a mum riral raiwn t ty in the Union f" fit' 13 yara. J that period we hucc managed to control the destinies of the Union. Whether on the bailie field or in the couticii, the MIII.* ~f lbe South have taken tlie lead ; and the records of the nation a fiord ample testimony of i| ll;Ir superior intrpy and penivt Sir. Ido nt complain of tins statement. The former t , hr . of it is both candid and true, iLt 1 caimo* listen to the roci'sl without feelings the burn, ing blush on my countenance, t: th® North, with her overshadowing millions ot freemen, has for half a century been lame and eerviij enoiijjh to submit to this arrogant rule. The South impr.sons northern freemen wh< n found within her borders, if they happen to be guilty of a dark skin, and carry it '* between the wind and their nobility.'' And vvii- n „ sovereign State sends a teamed and venerable agent to teat the legality of such imprisonment before their own tribunals, he is driven with violence and indignity from their shores. M a ._ sflchm-etts has t-uffcred, and, I trust, remembers the insult. How often have these walls hern profaned and the Nor'h insulted by the insolent threat, that if Congress legislates against the Southern will, it should be disregarded, resisted to ex tremity, and the Union destroyed During the present session we have been more than once told, amidst raving excitement, that if we dared to legislate in a certain way. the South would teach the North a lesson ! That their minds were made up to extreme resistance ! Is this the place to use threats instead of arguments 1 Are the Representatives of freemen to be thus treated? True, you are not wholly without justification in the belief that it will be effec tual. You have toooften intimidated Congress. You have more than once frightened the tame North from its propriety, end found "dough faces" enough to be your tools. Arid when you lacked a given number, I fake no pride in saying, you were sure to find them in oid Penn sylvania, who, in former years, has ranked a portion of her delegation among your most sub missive slaves. Hut 1 hope, with 6ome fears, that the race of doughfaces is extinct. Ido not see how it could be well otherwise. They were an unmanly, an unviril race, incapable, according to the laws of nature,of reproduction, i hope they have left no descendants. The old ones are deep in political graves. For them I am sure there is no resurrection, for they were soulless. Now, when the whole civilized world unites in denouncing slavery as a curse, a shame and a crime, I trust that when the great battle between liberty and slavery comes to be fought en this floor, there will be none found hiding among the stuff, no fraudulent concr-s.- ments, not one accuised Achan in this whole , camp of the Representatives of freemen. The eloquent gentleman from Virginia [Mr. . S ELD EN,] tiie other day. in his beautiful perora tion, personated the great States of Virginia, Kentucky, and Louisiana, and in their name apostrophized the good, and I will add, the great man who now occupies the executive chair; and in their name besought him as he loved the place of his birth, the place of his nurture, and tiie place of his residence, not to forsake his southern brethien in this emergen cy, but to stand by them in defence of human bondage. How much more effective, enduring, and hallowed would that eloquence have beau, had the orator's lips been touched wiih a coal from the Altar of Freedom ! Then could he have gone with friendly anxiety to that noble, benevolent, and heroic man, and admonished | him, that although he had gathered all the earthly laurels that can tie reaped by the sickle of death, yet if he would have his name descend to posterity with increasing lustre, lie must, by one great, just, and patriotic example, wipe out the only spot that obscured the sun of his glory. He might with propriety have taken with him the learned gentirinan from Alabama, [Mr. HiLLixJtD.] and together have pointed biro to tiiat sdletnji hour, which to him, and to all of us who are treading thedown-hili of life, must soon arrive, when the visions of ambition and of earthly wealth thtii have passed from before his eyes, and leit him nothing but a gap ing grave, and an eternal judgement. The accomplished gentleman from Alabama, [Rev. Mr. HILUAHH.J might with peculiar pro priety, do what, with profane lips 1 dare not, go to his illustrious friend, end with fervid piety and eloquence more thrilling than that which made Felix tremble, implore him by a lovs deeper thnn that of birth-place, of nurture, and of residence—by the love ot hisown immortal soul, to he warned in time bv the awful, the inexorable doom—"Accursed is the man-oteai er." He might, perhaps, have pointed io Vl.e gloomy journey that leads through the dar; shadow, and show n him bow ineffably brighter are the glories of that Kingdom where all are free. Perchance, too, he would have noticed the thronging thousands travelling to that same diend tribunal, summoned to give evidence nf deeds done in the body ; some of them weie bondsmen and slaveson earth, but whose ilsrni bodied spirits were then disenthralled, erect, tall as the proudest of earth's oppressors; am! ask ing him to inquire of his own conscience, who was most likely to meet hearty welcome there —he. whose cause was advocated bv the sup, plicating voices of thousands with whom he had dealt justly on earth, and made free indeed, or he whose admission should be withstood by myriads of crushed and lacerated souls, show ing their chains, their stripes, and their wounds to their Father, and to his Father; to their Dod, and to his Judge.
