SPEECH OP SENATOR BIGLER.
AT.CLARION, PA., ON THE 8m INST.
In reply to the Audreys of the Hon.. David Wil
mot, delivered at Philadelphia , on the 24 th ult.
Alter giving a brief history of the Democratic par
ty, shuwiug how eminently wise aud successful its
pulley had Deon in the past, and how it had uniform
ly, in all exigencies, in war or peuce, stood by the
true iutereaio of the country, and had advauced its
growth and prosperity, and elevated the dignity and
prowess of the nation, claiming lor that party a high
er degree of purity, wisdom aud patriotism than were
possessed Uy any aimilur association ol men in mod
ern times ; and having also paid a handsome compli
ment to the character and qualifications of Gen.
Packer and his associates on tlio Democratic ticket,
he proceeded as follows .
judge YViiinoi, the Kepublican candidate, has
evinced his entire willingness to make his Views
known to the peuplo, and seems quite unhappy that
the a late Committee would not agree that tne Demo
cratic candidate aUuuld waste his time with him in
personal controversy, and still more displeased that
the Committee should huve suggested that the dis-
cussion ol the slavery question is not essential in a
Gubernatorial contest. Palling to secure the attrac
tions ol General Packer to gel up large meetings and
excitement lor him, he has bravely dashed into th*
held alone. lam in possession of a copy of his first
address delivered ui Philadelphia on the 24th ultimo,
and published iu the -Evening Bulletin,' 1 to the
leading leatures of which 1 shall ask your attention
beiore i take my seat. 1 liud no fault with .Air.
YViimot for appearing before the public to make
known his viewo. 1 tmuk a candidate for any office
muy properly do so. 1 see no want ol dignity or
propriety in the practice, ll pursued in the proper
simit. in doing this no candidate properly appre
ciating his posiuuu will solicit votes ; he will simply
deolaie his viewson pending questions, foreshadowing
as best ho can the policy he will maintain if elected,
so that the intelligent elector may vole fur or against
him, as may seem proper. But 1 have searched iu
vain lor any such lureahaduwing in the late speech
ol Air. \\ llmoi. It is devoted exclusively to the sub
ject of slavery, except only a bnet reference to his
letter uu Americanism. Slate atiairs seem to have
hud no attructjoiis lor him. it is an alniust incredi
ble fuel that in a long speech occupying columns of
the “Bulletin, 1 ' he snould not have alluded to any
one of tbu mauy interests which would come under
his charge, where he elected Governor, nor discussed
a single question connected with the duties of the
ojbee for which ho is a candidate, or over which the
political authority of the stale Government ouuld in
any way be exerted. Brum begiuuiug to end he has
.talked outside of the true purposo of his appearing
before the public, and has tailed, therefore, to give
the people the means to decide whether ho would
make a good Governor or not. lie has talked about
slavery, and questions incidental and collateral; but
not a word about State ali'airs. lie should certainly
have given us his views uu the question ol mure
Banks and paper currency. .Many of the people
would be glad to know whether he intends to main
tain the pulley of the present incumbent, his politi
cal friend, uu these vital questions. What dues ho
think ol the policy of giving away tho largest share
ol the .Public Works for an inadequate compensation,
payable to tho next generation ; aud if elected, will
he favor a disposition of the remainder on the same
conditions/ Why.nut give tho people his views ou
these State questions, as also on the subject of paying
the public debt, maintaining and extending our sys
tem ol free schools ; on the granting of special priv
ileges to facilitate,l)lo ends ol private gain, aud es
pecially on the pending amendments to the Consti
tution, embracing questions of grave concern for the
people. All these subjects, vitally importuut, and
within the range of the legitimate duties of the Ex-'
ccutivo, seem to have been lost sight ol in the smoke
and dust of a kind ol' Quixotic onslaught upon slave
ry and the slave power.
But another fact, equally singular, is,that although
his address abounds with graphic descriptions ol tho
evils of slavery, and course imputations upon the
motives of its advocates, it does nut contain a single
practical suggestion as to a remedy for the evils it
lumenta. Air. W. declares it to be “a quostiun ol
vital practical importance which lies at the founda
tion of everything valuable to us as freemen," and
yet ho has not attempted to show tho peuple of Penn
sylvania in what way they can apply the remedy.—
Not only this, but 1 shall prove tu you that, accord
ing to his own showing, tho people of a tree. State
huve no U- nstitutional right to interfere foror against
the evils he affects to deplore, whethor in a Stale or
Territory, if Mr. Wilinot found it necessary to make
his address ou national issues entirely foreign to the
Executive duties, it is to ho regretted that he did not
devote a portion uf his time tu his once favorite top
ic, tho tariff. The old friends of “protection for the
sake uf protection, 1 ’ whom ho expects to rally under
his flag, would doubtless be delighted to hear from
the man whom they used to designate as the advo
cate of -British free trade,” the ‘-successful betrayer
of Pennsylvania’s best interests,” and as a “vile
traitor to the State of his birth.” Possibly he could
havo convinced the manufacturers of iron in Clarion
and elsewhere, that they uro specially his debtors,
and permitting the dead past tu bury its dead, they
should come to his rescue in ibis hour of need. Per
haps there were among his auditors at Philadelphia,
those who had assisted to give Mr. Dallas to the
fl..mes in effigy, fur following the Wilinot lead on the
Tariff, in lb4t>, and ho cuuld have induced them to
repent that great wrong on Mr. Dallas, as also their
oft-repeated imputations upon his own motives and
conduct. Ho certainly could have shown those who
abused myself aud others, last spriug. tor agreeing
• to a mod lication of tho tariff when we hud no power
left to resist it, that they wero unreasonable in that
complaint, or aro now mistaken iu their support of
the distinguished advocate of “British free trade.”
But let mat pass; wo will leave tho distinguished
advocate of iree trade iu the embraco of the protec
tionists, aud the protectionists under the leadership
of the distinguished free-trader. Tbo new alliance
only furnishes another verification of the homely
adage, that political necessity makes strange bed-fcl
lowa.
But to the speech, and I will give you its best sen
timents first, so that his friends may not complain.
It rends as follows :
“ I hold that under the Constitution of the United
States wo havo no right to meddlo directly with tho
question of aluvery iu tho States where it already
exists ; it is a State Institution, and oan only be oon
trollod by State luws, and wc in Pennsylvania havo
no more right to legislate for Virginia upon the sub
ject of sluvory than Virginia has tho right to legis
late for Pennsylvania on the subject of our Public
Schools. But in the Territories tho question is dif
ferent. Tho. Territories are the common property of
the Union, and wo havo tho common right to control
them ” • f ‘
Then again, speaking of slavery, ho says:
“Tho question is no more abstraction, nor is
simply a*quoaiion of right and wrong, a question 01
morals; it is a question of vital practioal importance,
which lies at the foundation of every thing valuablo
to us as free men.”
Touching tho Dred Scott decision, ho remarks:
“And as 1 am on this point, 1 wish to say that I
bow to the Dred Scott decision as a matter of law. I
raise no arm against the aw, and I would never ad
vise any one to do so ; but there is no law on eurth
whioh can bind my reason or my conscience 1 can,
and will think, and vote for what X boliovo right.”
Now lot us consider tho doctrines of these quota
tions for a few minutes. In the first he says wo have
“no right to meddlo with slavery in the >S*ute.j whore
it already exists,” but that “the Trrntories aretho
common property of tho Union, and wo have tho
oommon right to control them..” In tho secoud ho
presents tho effects of slavory as “vital practical
questions, involving every thing valuablo to us as
free men.” And in tho third ho iuforms u§that he
“bows to the Dred Scott decision as mattor of; law.”
Of course I agree that wo havo no right to interfere
with slavery in the States , but, “bowing to the Dred
Scott decision ,” how does Mr. Wilmot propose to
reach the institution in the Territories ? What be
comes of “the common right” of the States to control
its exisience ? How can that right bo brought to bear?
That decision defines the Constitution to mean that
Congress has no right to legislate on the subject for
the Territories; that a congressional interdiction
against its extensioh is unconstitutional, and Mr.
Wilmot agrees that that decision is law. Then what
of his common right to control it iu the Territories,
and of the “vital practical questions” he has presen
ted for our consideration ?
Now this is tho point to which I wish your special
attention. Though acknowledging in his own pecu
liar phrase the binding effects of the decision of tho
Supreme Court, Mr. Wilmot is very oaroful to con
ceal the influence of that decision upon his position
and.arguments ; ho has not told the people frankly
that by virtue of the decision he so reluctantly rec
ognizes as binding, slavery in a territory is almost
ub completely out of tho roach of the people or tho
Governmont'of a free State, as it is in the State of
Virginia. He dare not bo explicit on this point; for
he would thereby illustrate the uttorimpracticability.
of'his doctrines on the subject. Indeed his whole
theory goe3 to pieces at this point, and he must ne
cessarily oonceal as much as possible, the effects of
this decision, or the deceptive character of his speech
es would become so transparent that he would be
obliged to abandon the discussion entirely.
Bowing to the Dred Scott decision as matter of
law, it will not do to say only that “Pennsylva
nia has no more right to legislate for Virginia, on
the subject of slavery, than Virginia has to legislate
for Pennsylvania on the subjeot of Public Schools.”
Mr. Wilmot oannot stop at this point; he must, and
does virtually agree by that “ bow ” that neither
Pennsylvania nor Virginia has any right to legislate
for Kansas or Nebraska, on either subject, and they
have no power to interfere for or against'the institu
tion of the Territories directly 0 r indirectly. The
citizens of eaoh may go to Kansas, and when bona
M* residents, they can give effect to their will.—
He or I can do this; but as citizens of this State we
cannot influence the question in either Kansas or
Virginia. Prior to the Dred Ecott decision, the Re
publican party contended for the power of Congress
over tne subject iu the Territories; but that decision
has settled me question against them, and has closed
the last channel through which the free States could
reach the question. It has swept away the entire
stock in trade of me Kepublican agitators; the Mis
souri line, the Wilinot Proviso, and every other
scheme of Cungiessiunal interierence. They havo
no occasion longer to seek even the election ol anti
olavery men to Congress, for that body cannot touch
the question. Their long cherished business ol agi
tation is therefore gone —gone forever- Wherein,
then, is the fitness of Air. \\ ilinot'a inflammatory
addresses about slavery, to the exclusion of every
other topic / Having no power over the subject, u
cannot oe ol vital practical importance in Pennsyl
ma, uniwo, indeed, Air. \V . iu nis leverish sensitive
ness, Uas allowed himself, to conclude that some
•• faced Democrat ” in obedience to the “slave
poweis.” is about to propose to re-establish the
institution in this state. Until this be done the
question cannot be so practical as he alleges. Bu.
is it not singular that Mr. Wilinot should seek to
agitate the public mind iu behalf of measures which
nave been Ueclared unconstitutional, and to which
decision he agrees l What can he accomplish by
such effort / Though he could convince a majority
of the people that the measures would work practi
cal good to thecuuntry, the Constitution,till changed,
is an insurmountable barrier to their adoption. —
would it noL be wiser to accept the philosophy ut
the trite saying, that *• it is useless to cry over spilt
milk When the election is over he will need the
beuelit of some such reflection, furl think hischances
are better to become the successor of Judge lSiUtocl,
than ui uuv.’ Pollock.
1 do not mean to say that the candidates for Gov
ernor may nut properly alludo to the subject of sla
very ; but ,\.r. Wilinot insists that measures which
have been declared unconstitutional shall be recog
nized issues in the Gubernatorial eontesi, and
continues to discuss these measures as though
they could bo inude available to the country,
and insists that the people should take one side or
the other. He says slavery is the only question in
volved, und has so far declined to speak on State
quesliuus at all.
Ho says th .t V irginia has the saino right to inter
fere with our public schuuls, that Pennsylvania hus
with slavery in Virginia; and that is true, but it
did not occur to his mind, at the same time, that it
would be a most singular, if not ludicrous spectacle,
to witness a candidate for Guvernor in V irginia rest
ing his claims to popular tavor solely on his views
about public sehuols in Pennsylvania, aud confiuing
his discussion to that tuple alone t Why the people
of the Did Dominiun wuuld get a straight jacketlor any
one whu might attempt to play such a trick before high
Heaven. And what would Pennsylvanians think of
such impudeut interference/ They would most
certainly invite the Virginia aspirant to take oare of
Ins slaves and leave the public schools to them. Air.
W. would be sure tu do this, aud yet he talked lor
hums about Virginia negroes, aud said not one word
about Pennsylvania Schools ; so does he
seem to rest his claims ou questions belonging to
other States, aud over Wuieh we havo no control.
Perhaps his friends cun explain all this, but I think
i can assure them uf one ining, il he does not get
more votes m States where his address would bo ap-
propriate, than in his own, he will be badly beaten.
Ho will almost be convinced that ho has not only
been speaking fur other States, but running lor Gov
ernor some svherc else than at home.
Mr. W ilmot s prompt recognition of the binding,
effect of the Dred Scott decision has certainly sur
prised and disappointed some of his lauatical adhe
rents. But they shuuld notice, ho duro not raise his
voice against the Constitution, when asking tu be
peinitled to Luke uu uaik to support it. That he has
yielded reluctantly, aud with exceeding bad grace,
is evident from tho low terms In which he impugns
the motives uf the Court, llesays, "it is easy enough
fur the Kxerulivt- to find corrupt Judges to carry
out corrupt designs." This is coarse, exceedingly
coarse, scarcely allowable in a common place poli
tician, aud utterly inadmissible in a candidate lor
Governor. Very many who .ntend to voto lor the
author uf the base allegation, will despise his loul
aspersions. Even they will nut agree that it is.be
coming iu David \\ ilinul tu warn thecuuntry against
the corruptions uf James JJuchauan and tioger JJ.
Taney. But in his auger at courts, ho has gone out
•If his way still lurthor to make an onslaught upon
tho integrity of tho supreme Court of his own Btate,
and broadly alleges that its decisions arc often con
tradictory, and it is common talk amoug the bar,
that a decision must bo revived every five years to
huve binding effect. The Courts shuuld take warn
ing, for failing to be Governor, as this gentleman
certainly will, he may still retain the office ot Ju
dicial (Jensunan
Scaring lu repudiate the decision of the Supreme
Court in express terms, many ol Mr. Wilinot sschool
of politicians are industriously engaged in efforts to
destroy the conlidence ot the public in its integrity.
As a means of doing this, they are in the habit of
expaiiafc-fig on the extraordinary circumstance that
the Ordinance of 1787 should have boon declared
unconstitutional at the end of sixty years after
its adoption, and the Missouri Compromise so
declutch after having stood for' nearly forty
years. They certainly know that the Ordinance
of 1767 did not derive its authority from'
the present Constitution —that it was the work
of the Congress of the old Coniederation, and was
agreed to by the States, and was merely perpetuated
under the present Constitution as a measure which
the states bad agreed to. This item of history they
prefer to suppress, so that the action oi the Court
may seem the more strange. They know, too, that
tho Missouri Compromise was an arbitrary arrange
ment between the .North and South? forced by an
exigency that endangered the peace of the country,
and that its constitutional authority, though con
stantly denied by many wise statesmen, had not
been directly tested prior to the late decision.
The history of the renownod Proviso is 're-written
in this speech, and Mr. W. has manifested special de- |
light in exhibiting what be considers the inconsisten
cies of the Democratic party on this subjeet, and
more especially those ot (Jen. Cass, lion. Richard
Brodhcad and myself. He alleges m substance, that
if the General had voted before he reflected, he would
have gone for the Proviso, and that Mr. Erodhead
bad said ho would vote for it if offered to tho proper
bill, and that I had been very careful to record my
name in the affirmative, when a similar sentiment
passed in the Stute Legislature. Tho course of Gen.
Cass und Mr. Erodhead needs no explanation or de
fence at my hands. Their sentiments are too well
known to the country to be successfully misrepre
sented. And, indeed, admitting all that Mr. W. al
leges, I do not see that he makes out any man’s de
struction. The wisest men in the nation have often
been wrong in their first impressions as to tho expe
diency of suddenly proposed measures ; and to be
mistaken on a constitutional question, is no uncom
mon thing among able lawyers. As to the Pennsyl
vania resolution, it certainly did notrecciYO that con
sideration to which it was entitled. X donotbelievo
it was under consideration in the Senate, exceeding
ono half hour before it passed finally. For myselt
1 knew but little about it until it came from the
House of Representatives, tho day it passed the Senate,
and had only thought of it as an abstract sentimont
against tho acquisition of territory, with the view to
the extension uf slavery and as affecting the question
of peaoe with Mexico. Asa proposition involving
the rights of the States, aud the powers of Congress,
I had, at that time, given it no thought. Reflection
upon thoso things soon after, and long before I knew
that Mr. Wilraot intendod to press the principle ns
admissible when applied to Territory whioh had been
long previously acquired by the common blood and
treasure of all the States, without any such original
condition, convinced my mind that its practical ope
ration would do injustice to tho slave-holding States,
and I discarded its doctrines ontirely. Pour years
after the advent of the proviso, when tho Democratic
nomineo for Governor, I certainly was not charged
with a want uf sympathy for tho South. Tho reverse
was the constant allegation of my political cnemieß. —
Tho execution of tho fugitivo slavo law and tho doc
triuo of non-intervention were topics in thatoontest,
and I advocated the affirmative of both on all occa
sions. Mr. Wilmot himself publioly dissented from
my views on those points, at a meeting in his own
| town, whore wo stood face to face. But it is of-,little
momont whether X have been consistent or not. X
trust I may always bo rnoro ambitious to bo right,
and never vain enough to pretend to great wisdom
or fo’resight. If 1 did not mistake tho moaning of
tho proviso, when first proposed, I certainly misun
derstood its author, for X thought him a Democrat,
and he has turned out to bo anything else. But has
Mr. Wilmot rolieved his position by what he has said
on this point ? Xf it even be true that certain Demo
crats inclined to favor the proviso before they had
discovered tho was not thereby warranted
in sustaining it when*the injustice of its practical
workings had become apparent by discussion, especi
ally since it has boon shown to be unconstitutional.
But this candidate and his party are great on con
sistency. They are in tho habit of arraigning Mr.
Buchanan, Judge Douglas, and other Democratic
Statesmen, on the charge of inconsistency, because '
at one time they sustained tho policy of settling the ;
slave controversy by a geographical division, and
have since embraced tho policy of referring the
question to tho people of the territories, to be settled
us they may deem best. There is very little sense
and less patriotism in such criticisms. The whole
history of the subject show 3 that the controversy, at
the different periods when the excitement attained
to a dangerous height, was treated as a subject'of
compromise, implying atonco the concession of prin
ciple and peculiar views. Statesmen and patriots
felt required to yield much in the way of opinion, to
secure the peace of the country. Mr. Buchanan fa
vored the Missouri line so long as the policy of set
tling the question by territorial division was main
tained ; and Mr. Douglas, in 1848, proposed to extend
the parallel of that line to the Pacific Ocean as a
final adjustment of tho dangerous feud. But the
very men who now, and since 1854, have not oeased
to bewail the abandonment of this policy, wore uui
ted in their opposition to its extension and perpetuity
on that occasion. They repudiated it, scouted and
reviled it. Another mode of became ab
solutely necessary to save the oountry from civil war,
and that of non-intervention, as now found in the
Kansas, law, was wisely adopted in 1850; and is
maintained by tho statesmen X have named. What
inconsistency is there in such action ? And what is
to be said for the sincerity of those who continued to
denounce the Missouri line up to the time of its re-
Eeal —that party who in Connecticut burnt James
oilman in effigy for voting for it, and Isaac Toucey

Topeka Governor, had petitioned Mr. Stanton, when (
acting Governor, to confer the appointment of Com- ;
missioner to acknowledge deeds on his friend, by
virtue of the territorial laws. He seems determined
to give the version of affairs that will best suit his
purpose. Having presented a startling picture of
the wrongs and outrages which, according to his
story, have been wantonly inflicted upon the free
State party of that unhappy Territory, he makes the
following sweeping declaration:
“ I affirm that the Administration knows all about
these outrages, and yet they uphold them. They
sustain the Missourian usurpation, and they dare
not be just, because they are the slaves of the slave
power who created them and upholds them.
This is terrific indeed, coming from a candidate for
Governor; but Mr. Wilmot : s language is tame and
feeble compared with the sparkling rhetoric of Got.
Keitt of South Carolina, on the othet side of the
question. The Colonel, in his letter dated at White
Sulphur Springs, imputes to the Administration alto
gether different action and purpose. He alleges
that its first uct was to appoint a Governor to ‘‘de
bauch Kansas from allegiance to the South and de
liver her into the hands of Free Soil fanatics, and
that “ to say that the cause of the South was lost in
Kansas prior =o the appointment of Walker, is to
palliate fraud by falsehood.” Here is a wide differ
ence between big doctors. But the Southerner seems
to have the best of the contest. Indeed the best at
tempts of Wilmot and his school of orators, to show
the subserviency of the Administration to the slave
power fall far below the most ordinary efforts of Col.
Keitt, ihe Charleston Mercury, and the New Orleans
Delta, to demonstrate its free soil tendencies and its
treachery to the South. With such tiresin front and
rear who will say that Col. Keitt may not reasona
bly imagine the fantastics to be hereafter played by
“ shivering Cabinets ” and “convulsive Administra
tions'”

Mr Wilmut ta'tks very positively about what is going on
in the territory Of course he knows; hut 1 spent some
weeks there this summer and f.-uud it difficult to obtain

No unbiassed mind will come to Midi a conclusion. It is
md however, inv purpose to go into a history of Kansas
alT.'irs or'-ive uiv views at length us to the policv of the
ailmiii'istration at this time; but I can assure Mr. Wilmnt
Unit tbe only impracticable polilicinus 1 tn«l in the terri
tory wer- of his owu school ; (he leaders of the Topeka re
bellion. Thev seem det-s mined to rule or ruin. It was
i o uncommon thing to hear them sav that if the Conven
tion to meet in this month, should adopt tbe Topeka Con
st itui ion, vve rd for word, they who made it, originally,
would uje--t it at the p -ols. lint I hope and believe, that
throu-h i he a-vney of the present able and patriotic Kx
ecutive of Mr. Walker, the bitttor feudfl di
viding I.hn people of that territory, will I e happily settled,
and Kniwashe brought into t heUniou on principles perfectly
'consistent with the organic act. In this effort Governor
Walker will be sustained by the great mass of the pe-ple.
whom I f-nnd to be moderate, practicable and patriotic in
their views. For mvself, 1 have believ-d that the spirit of
the Compromises of’lSoU. as in the organic law of. Kansas,
contemplated 1 lie decision of the question 'd'slaveo . in the
Territory, by some direct action of the people, prior to ap
plication for admission as a State; otherwise the question
will come back to Congress in the same shape in which it
was when referred lu the p—pie; unaccompanied by any
expressinn of popular will. That expression should, and,
Iliavu no douht, will be bad without any oiliccinl intertci
ence os to what it Hi-uld be; and when so had. deciding
the questiou of slavciy as the people wish, 1 shall, f-r one.
assist to throw wide open the portals of the Uinou.and
wclc-me Kansas as a state, ulavrrjj or no slavery. _ But J
shall not vote to admit h-r on the Topeka Constitution,
because tbe inov-m-nt whs not nf the people, but of ft par
ty was not by autb- rity ul' law. but m violation ot law,
nod th-rethr- rev.'hiti'marv. Nor am 1 at all inclined to
indulge the rebellious spirit of those In the Territory who
seem determined to set the laws Ht defiance. If they will
not act. save in their own way and Kansas becomes a slave
State by th- voice of those who do act, the responsibility
must rest upon them.
But 1 have been wandering from in y text, ami neglecting
the KcpuMirau candidate fur Governor. I wish t>* make
ono itio.e extinct from his speech, and then I shall have
don-. It is on- of his best gems, it reads os follows :
Willi lespect to the labor question, it is alleged by the
Democracy that we have no sympathy for free white labor;
that all our i-ars are exhausted on the black man. Now
1 leave tlo* chivnlrv of the South to the noble office of
Unking God has laid a heavy hand on them, and
ItScck not to | res* the curs- harder upon them. The chiv
alry may have all th * uf women and

under Toot, if they please, but I tell you that the interests
0 f nil I,iima.nltv are ono. God has so ordered it, that no
mau can do deliberate ami systematic wrong to other men;
no man cun bo a tviant i r a despot without slaining his
□wn soul and without becoming a boast aud a demon.”
How id’ie, if not unmanly, it is for a man who uses hm
gmi-’c of this character, -u a question entirely beyrnd the
reii-di of those to whom It is addressed, to become indignant
and deuouncu the Democratic press as ‘-debased.’ 1 ••venal,”

Mr. Wilmoi’s addr-sa. wln-ttier considered as a declaration

below what his friends had reason to expect. It can rank
but little above rommou-plareanti slavery taut, as wanting
in method and useful suggestion as in the ordinary graces
of even partizau discussion. Is it possible that the Repub
lican party caunot maintain liieir principle* without re
sorting to such daugernus incendiarisms? Uncharitable
crimination of tho SoutU seems to oe wieir (fitly source of
partizan capital. Assuming respect for the constitutional
rights of the slavehoidiug States, they are sure to discourse
in such a way as to lead the fanatical abolitionist to b. lieye
that iu some way or other, at no distant day. through
their agency, the institution is t • be uprooted even where.
It was by such in the last Presidential eleetiou that
they gained over to Fremont, Garrison, Parker, Beecher,
and all that school of fanatics. Unable to devise a practi
cable scheme to improve the condition of tho black man,
they per sist in the work of agitation as their most fruitful
means of political power. They know that they could do
but. little to improve tire condition of the black man. th<V
the wboln subject was under their unrestrained cimtrol.—
Suppose ail legal difficulties to be removed, and the subject
placed within their reach, by emancipation Ou the part of
the South, conditioned that the negroes b« properly rarod

slavi-s so that they might escape the dreaded “kicks.’” and
be where none would '‘horsewhip the women and sell their
babies P How could they be clothed and fed, ami bow
elevated in the scale of m<>ia] beiug? Would they be
brought North to compete with our present laboring pop
ulation ? I ant sure the free States would never agree tn
that- But suppose they should, would that insure an im
provement iu the physical and mental condition of the
slave? With wbat new political aud social dipuitjes would
th« black men be clothed, bo that they might live easier
and hippier, and attain to a higher degree of civilization
and Christianity? Who will stand up for equality for
them in the North? Let us have these questionsanswered,
and have a practical scheme for the elevation of the negro,
