Such' was the \ - iew of the. sultject taken by Wash ington liitusell. But the elThrt was made. It owes its success simply to the fact that the right of each State to manage - its own do mestic concerns, in its own way, was fully con ceded. . _ It was easily foreseen that' great diffi'renco of - ,!pinion arid feeling wOttld exist between 'the people of the several States, in regard to the treatment that might to be liestowed on the l•lack race, 'who were among us, hut nut of us --LW lio Were on our suit, mull yet not a part of the people, nor qualified in any way to be our equals.. 'This race was then held in slavery, or involuntary servitude, - by the laws of mill the States exeeptone, - But in the North their truml)ers were lew,'and the climate unsuited to them, while in the South it -was just the re verse. It was utterly Out of the question to .expeet unanimity. on a ,sullioet Like this. It could be managed in one way only ; and that Wits by agreeing:that each State should deter mine the. whole ; matter , for itself, and on its own responsibility. It : was then solemnly agreed that the Federal GoVermuent should not interfere with Slavery, and that no- State should interfere with it in any other State, either directly ar indirectly.- And all the people said amen r If the -solemn assurances mutual.forbearenee then given, and sworn to so often since, have been belied and viola ted, it has not been done with the consent of the Demo c racy. • The question of-involitntary servitude had engdged the earnest attention of the sages of the revolution. There can be no doubt that if they euttlit ha% e proNided for-its amelioration •tnd gradual emancipation, they -would have done so: They - fou ad it, Janie ver,' incorporat r ell in the social,system of all the states but one, and, they dealt with it according to the, exigencies of the times in whielt they lived. We all - know that even at that early day it was. subject of mutual irritation arid excitement and although the wonderful uses to which the ciltton ,Lint has been a ellied, on account of tiie subsequent discoveries in the utanufaetu Ilf nuioiinery, were then scarcely anticipated., it is enough to say that the republican fathers could not dispose of this slavery question un- (11 . t.5% tl t ley agree( upon ttO Jams nc t el 0 the formation of the Constitution ; the recog nition of the domestic institutions of the south, in the ratio of representation, and the provis ion fir the restitution of fugitives front labor. Twelve of the thirteen StatesAltat formed the Constitution, held slaves at the time that in strument was adopted, and by the quiet oper ation of their popular exclusive- sovereignty six of these States have f,ince beeome free. Throughout all the action of the framers of the federal Constitution, the idea wideh pre vailed was that which regarded - the negro as inferior to the white, and until Abolitif misni is able to convince the present generation that this idea is illogical and untrue, (and to d o this they must agree to the doctrine of a perfect equality between the races,) all legit , - lathal on the subject of the negro, race must and will be controlled by the same sentiment.

Against these proceedings in the North the South ut-, tered not a woril of complaint. But the views and opinions of t he 5( nit horn States were whol ly averse to abolition. - They believed it to lie utterly impossible, without the greatest dan ger, not to their prosperity only hut to their very existence. This was an opinion to which they had as good a right as the North had to the opposite one., But they were not suffered to-enjoy and to net upon it in quietness and peace. - Alte-very•first Congress, after the , overnment was organized, a petition. from the North was presented, praying for the abolition of "slavery by Cong,mss. :Treacher ous attempts to deprive the South of her un doubted tights• to maniore .hcr -own affairs, have been constantly ma r de. The framers of the Constitution declared in its preamble, that one of their great objects in adopting it W a s "to insure domestic tranquilily." But the ‘•doniestie traitqOility" of the South has been constantly and cruelly, assailed - by Northern Abolitionists, who knew very well that they had no- business whatever with the - matter. A •majority of the old States made the ne groes free without opposition from abroad, That it was wise for the North to do go "all are agreed ;- that it was just and proper in the . South to make no complaint is equally true. Now let us See whether the South h irk-gained any advantages or commit 'any aggressions With reference to the new States. --Maine and Vermont were:admitted as free States, and nobody asked them to - put slavery . into their constitutions. This was it matter 'of course, and sotreated all round. But with reference s to the Western States, their exemption front 'slavery wits not a mat ter of course. The South ,might "have pre vented. it if she had seen proper. The Whole of the territory north and west of the Ohio, and east (d . the MiSsissippi. belonged to the State of Virginia. She owned the land, and had power to-control the settlement of every acre. Whitt did she do? *She magnanimous ly gave up not only her political jurisdiction, - hut also her proprietary right .tu the Federal thwerninent, allowitt 7 4 the voters of the North to settle its destiny, and all its proceeds to go into the general coffers. CA omeeticut had a spurious claim -to a part of it—a claim twe e sely like that which she :..et up to a part of Pennsylvania, and which was decided against her. but her claim to the Western Reserve, was eimeeded to her—she kept it, sold it, atol puf:' the proceeds. into her Own treasury.— Virginia did not protest even when the Ordi nance of 1787 was passed, abolishing Slavery within the territory;'Whielt she had . thus gen erously given away. Was there any aggress; sion in all this? lf there was "encroachment" rol either Hy rommittel tt iere was unwise euneessioll, from whom did it come ? is now Arkansas, lowa,. Nebraska, Kansas,. and the unoccupied wilderness be yond, was purchased from France in 18113. It was all slave territory. We-took it with it French law upon it legalizing slavery. It could not be made free without repealing that law. Missouri had been settled long before by persons who owned slaves and who had held them there upon the faith ot the law.— They • were not disturbed during her whole existence as an organized territory. .When she proposed to conic into , the Union as a State, her people, in the exercise of as plain aright as any people ever posessed, made'n Constitution for themselves, iu which, with almost entire unimiznity, they recognized the rights of the slat eholders to retain the proper ty required under previous law. Then arose the . wildest veils of fanaticism'. Large ma gses of people in the North, and especially in New EDglimd, led on and excited by the inflamma tory appeals of their leaders, grew almost frantic with rage. The sole cause of this out cry was that the pr.:)ple of Mis , :oori,had made thcir o wo C.'o, , t;tati,,u to suit their own views, Will Amisinna: IZUII2 th - ets as vigorously as.ever upon the north be cause it hail not thsisted on more., Was this Northern or Southern aggression? , • DW, this cry of Southern aggression on Northern rights again rose to a pitch which seemed to put the Union in extreme danger. Again the trouble was allayed by a couipm, mise. The nature s ehartoter and tennis of the Compromise will show how much aggession had been committed then. There were five measures included in it. 1. The admission of CalitOrnia as a free State. 2. The terri torial organization of New Mexico on ,the principle of. non-intervention, whieb it was known - would exclude slavery. - 3. The pur chase of a large portion of texas, taking it away from the jurisdiction of ty slave State.- 4. The abolition of the slave trade in the Pis trit,;t oreolunthia. 5. The foLjtive slave law.

The only Measure which the ,;south got was opposed and- resisted, even utter its enaCtinent, - luMin manv 'lilac es its execution was wholly prevented, We de= mond, ugain, where Was the aggression? It is on these bets we base the-assertion, that io every contest where the rights of the North have been entrusted to Democratic pro jecthin, they have-been guarded faithfully and well. We have not resisted. any lust.daini Which the South ever made; we have nicant to treat them iitirly, and to carry mitT in -good faith the obligations iMposed on, yni 'by. the Constitution.
