Now ia the time, the present ges-ion of Co: -
gress. If no other can on this floor were
willing to vote in the iiffirmatiTe, though I
stcod alone, —which I shellnot, and for which
I'am thankful—l would hold up both hands
and say to our members in Congress, " Gen
tlemen, in the name ol humanity, in the name
of our commou country, I pray you from tny
heurt of hearts, vote for the bill now before
you "
Mr. Speaker, we are progressing gloriously.
ThisJs the hostage the the country has ever
seen ; the best year we have ever had ; the
growth of liberty, virtue, and of greatness and
glory, iA more ruugDifieeut than ever before.
These are golden hours. I ara comparatively
a young man. yet I can rememberer when a
a clergymen of the gospel was dragged through
Washington street in the city of Bostcm, in
the city of the Puritans, with a halter around
his neck, simply because he dared to question
the moral right of slavery. I remember when
a company of ladies simply holding a prayer
meeting for the fugitive slave, was broken up
by the broad cloth gentry of the same city.—
1 remember when notice sent to the pulpits of
Boston, craviog christian sympathy for pant
ing fugitives who had refuge there, were
spurned and his-ed at. I renumber well wheu
Boston court house was environed with chains
in obedience to siavpocrats All this hard by
Banker Hill ! You, and we all remember a
dark catalogue of such events. But. now*oh !
how chunged ! Gerritt Smi'h, Wendell Phil
lips, Geo B. Cheever aud Horace Grecly, are
called upon to speak—aud to speak where ?
Why, sir, in Washington, in the Smithsouian
Institute, the nursery of national science, the
great temple of letters. Ttiey are called up
on to come there and speak upon this very
identical subject ; but do they have hearers ?
Aye, sir, the trouble is not to get hearers, but
to get room for the bearers. Right in the
city of Washington, Gerritt Smith lias lectured
within a week—by the way, one of the class
of men who have told he world more truth
than the world has yet given them credit for ;
but pay-day comes in nil such cases ; it comes
in a little while after, and it will surely come
in this case. It is only c little while ago when
Charles Sumner,one of GOD'S nqble meu, stood
np in the United States Senate and advoca
ted tho principles of freedom aud truth ; and
there came the representatives of this aceur-ed
aud damnable institution armed wtih a blue 1
geon and smote him to the dust. The blood
spots of the almost martyr upon the floor of
the Senate Chamber will semi up a lasting cry
for retribution against those fiends in human
form who prompted and applauded the deed.
Escaping justice at?t!ie Land of mar, Brooks,
the immediate agent aud guilty miscreant, wa
louched by the retributive finger of the invis
ible and withered from the earth. Sumner was
hissed aod scorned from social circles. Mow
he stands almost the master man, if not the
Nestor among the Xestors of the United States
Senate. Old Joan Q iiuoy Adams once pre
sented petitions from his constituency drawn
iu the mildest language-tor the abolition ol sia
very iu the District of Columbia. If they had
prayed to GON.in language so feeble their
prayers would hardly have gone higher than
their heads. But mild as the petitions were,
when the old sage presented them, they raised
a howl around him as if all Panderuom cm had
broken loose. Now, sir, that same Congress!
has a bill hefore it to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia ; and not only that, but:
has a bill before it forbidding the officers of
our army to return slaves to their musters. —
Congress is coming up tothe true iine of action
Oh, we are progressing. But a few years ago
there was indescribable, unearthly terror in the;
word abolitionist. In the north you had but
to call a man uu abolitionist and every nerve
Mn his body quivered while his heart palpita
ratcd. Thank Gon, that cloud so full of light
ening and thunder has lost ail its electricity
aud is passing away. .It will not be many
years before a man will be as much ashamed
to be called an atili-aboliiioaisl, as ) he would
to be called a sheep thief. All 1 have* to say
touching this mo ter is this. 1 have always
guareuteed the nstitutional rights of South
crucrs ; voir ,ney hare none. This I will say
about the abolitionism, that if to give liusey
wolsey for rags if to substitute joys for sorrows, .
smiles for tears, and the comforts of home fur
dissevered and disjoined domestic relations :
if to give freedom for slavery makes a man an
abolitionist, put me down as one ; I take the
responsibility.
One remark more and I make if in respect
to my honored friend, the Senator from Berks,
(Mr. CMMER ) He remarked that he would
not discuss these resolutions if discussion came
ap n;w; but be will probably change his mind
and enter into this discussion. The other UAJ
in a certain debate he made a remark*in an
swer to something 1 said, and I did not reply j
to it then. I take this occasion to answer him,
because the subject is in keeping with,and ger
mane to that now under consideration. The
Senator stated that the Constitution of this
country was made by white men aud made/cr
white men. All right, sir, he is properly un
derstood. The sunlight of yonder heavens was 1
made for white men ; the breath of nature
that fans us aud gives us vitality was made
for white men ; the refreshing elements that
bubbles up from the tippling fountain and
and from the heart of the earth to quench our
thirst was made for white men. But was the
sunlight made for them only ? Was that uat- i
nral breath made for thein exclusively ?—was j
the fountain that slakes the thirst and gives
physical energy made for them only ? I say i
the soi.lighf, the breath of vitality and the
fountains of water were mi.de for humanity ;
and I say that liberty is GOD'S birthright to
humanity. The men who drafted the Consti
tution moulded the Declaration of ludepend
tDce intended and did embody that great prin
ciple. They made the constitution and uttered
the declaration for humanity Go aVay with
your adjective " white." It is an intruder on
those glorious docnnieuts. Their authors nev
er put it there. The Great Creator made 1
that Senator white and made me white ; and
lam thankful to Ilim that He did. But in
His inscrutable wisdom, He has made some
others black ; but urc they less human ?
Tbey have the feeling of humanity—the flash
ing of fancy—the capacities of reason—the
yearnings after immortality ; and these are the
ingrane principles of ail humanity. I chal
lenge the world to deny it. Every human be
ing has the right to be, to enjoy all that his
nature is capable o f being, of becoming or of
•enjoying. Gon has made.certain men with
their faces a little darker than mine ;
but if they are capable of enjoying freedom,
life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness ,it is
your duty to give it to them ; and woe to
the government, sooner or later, that refuses
to do it, and throws itself athwart their path
way of progress. lam no infidal • but if we
as a nation, can hold up and perpetuatejslavery, J
age, after age, sauctiou it legally and christen
it ecclesiastically, and at the same time pllteper
ourselves, be free, and happy, aud great, es
caping all the consequences divinely threaten
ed against injustice and oppression, then
this, if anythiug, would constrain me not only
to question Bible, but to doubt the very exist
ence of the Deity Himself. But in the signs
of the present there is no reason for scepticism
or fear. I look around me, 1 look upon our
brave armies, I look upon the sentiments aud ,
feelings of the people,l look upon the growth I
and onward march of public opinion, I look j
upon the resolved action of Congress, I look j
at the out croppings of seeming Providential |
iuterpositiou in our behalf, I look at these
and many other things, sir, and then I am ex- j
ceedingly encouraged in regard to our country, j
We were born in IT7G, we are born again in
1862 or thereabouts. Then we sprung into
an infant existence as a natiou. Now, if our
principles and patriotism are commeusurate
with the demands of the age, we leap into na- j
tioual mauhood with the lines of greatness and ;
glory stretching onward before us into the in
finite future. That we may secure our nutiou's
peace and perpetuity, let slavery be abolished
iu the District of Columbia, that its foul
abomiuatious may no longer send their wreak
ing stench into the very windows of the capi
tal. The slaves of all rebels urc now virtually
anu actnhlly free. Let the Government so '
recognize auu treat them. Confiscate the
property of all traitors and apply it to the
payment of the war debt, compel the instiga
tors of this fratricidal war to meet its expenses
as far as possible, and not constrain the patri
otic people of the north to first pour out their
blood like water in defence of the country, and
then irnpovish themselves iu paying these
enormous expenses.
Thus much do. Do it speedily, and when
doue it will stimulate the heroism of our sol
diers, inspirit the people with new zeal, help
crash the heart of treason, and place the Re
public upon a sure and benificeut foundation.
1 have no lear fur the country, no despair of
the result if we are but true to ourselves —true
to the historic momories of the land true to
God and humanity, 1 look forward, sir, with
ioyful emotions to the day when from thiscooa- :
try the great disturbing element shall be re- ;
moved, and removed forever; wht n the last
shackle shall be broken—when the last slave ;
redeemed aud disenthralled, shall lift his hands
to Heaven with thanksgiving that he is allow
ed to enjoy ttic rich immunities of his man '
hood. That day will surely come, and when
it comes will constitute a new era in our exis
tence. It will form the brightest spot upon
the canvass of our nationality. Posterity will '
look back to it with rijoicing. Upon it the ,
poet will rhapsodise in future days, and over ,
it the christian pLiiospher will bend with rev 1
ential adoration. It will furnish the sculptor
his models, the painter the theme of his sketch- i
es, while from it the historian shall gather
abundant material for ths most glorious and
gorgeous page in American history.
