- treat Mr. James B. Clay fairly, petmit sue to quote
one paragraph from 'the speech we .'have been con
sidering. He says, on page 14 ofjth' e pamphlet
" Fellow citizens, the country is in dahger. - In 1820
our wisest and best Statesmen told us there was
great danger from the question - Of Slavery- -.For the
purpose of piitting it at rest, the eo called Misiouri
ComproMise was made, but itj did not settle - the
question. Again. in 1849-50, •it'i raised its horrid
float. Fortunately,-for the country, -at that time
there:were then at Washington men of a giant race,
who, could see and appreciate the -danger, and warn
the country of it,. 1110 you not '.recollect how the
black cloud sat like a leaden pall upon the hearti o
menj--how the bravest trembled for the Union ?, Do
you rot remember with what anxiety - rill eyes were
turned to Washington with what trembling eagerness
you ;listened for the Least scrap of news? At the
last,! tidings -came that the Compromise . Measure of
18,50 had been passed, althongh in detail.' Have
yon j forgotten the rejoicirigs throughout the whole
land'? How the bellS rung, and the-glad shouts went
up WI heaven in gratitUde that their country wasside?
How vain and how Calle were the hopes of the best
and Wisest of men. Scarcely are some of the princi

or - dissolution , —thia is the question now before you,
cnd roi, cannot avoid it. It is not I alo ne who tell you
r
so—Americans, as you choose to call yourselves, old
linelWhigs. it• is Mr. Fillmore also who tells you so.
Hear what he says in his Albany speech recently de
, livered—a speech so patriotic and se; honorable to
1 h -
im lrere Gentlemen, you have a isp6cimen of the fair
and honorable dealing of this pro-slavery pink of
I consistency, James B. elay,." son 'of Henry Clay."
You will readily see that he studiously omits every
vitas, material fact in each of the cases Cited. -
He omits the fact that, the Threatened danger of I
1.8,0 arose purely out of the aggressive spirit of Sla
very ; and that 'Lly_Jier blusteiing she giincd all she
then asked, 'promising most solemnly that she would
forever after be satisfied. ' • '
He forgets to : tell us that the same rggressivespir.'

It tint:tiled upon us the Mexican war; for no other;
earthly object than the strCagthening of the slave pow-
I ler. I He neglects to tell us that the filibustering spir
it cif the South. is the Slavery spirit' in disguise, He
forgets to tell us that the troubleswhich brooded
1 0ver the nation in 1849—1 . 10 were occasioned by the
Isate steady,, aggressive,, and dtirnincering spirit of
SlaVery, which refused to be comfortedtill every free
. •
man of every, free State was made - by law ' a blank
i hoUnd; and under the most . degrading shamefuf

thisipurc patriot,James B. Chiy, "Son,cornpanion,anif

abOut either cause or consummation of the repeal of

honor, should refuse to sell Cub ,

course . of the American Govern
cumitauces
Self-preservation, is the firs law of nature, with
States as well as with individuals. All Nations tiave,
at different periods, acted noon this maxim. Altho'
it has been made the pretext for committing flagrant
injustice, as in the partition ::( l'oland, and other
similar cases which history recorder,
rds, yet the principle
itself, though often abused, has always been recog
nized. l• 1 -.•
The United States has never acquired afoot of ter
ritory except by fair purchase,., as in the case of
Texas, upon the free and volun . y
application of the
people of that. independant State, who desired to
blend their destinies with our4wn.
• Even our acquisitions from exico are no creep
tion to this lute, because; although we might have
claimed them by the right of conquest in .a just war,
yet we purchased them frombat was 'then consid
ered by both parties a full and ample equivalent.
Our past history forbids that we FlIOUld acquire the
Island of Cuba Vrithout the consent of Spain, unless
justified by the great liw of self-preservation.' We
' must, in any event, preserve otar own conscious rect
itude and our self-respect.
Whilst pursuing this course, we can afford to dis
regard the censures of the world, to which we have
been so often and so unjustly exposed.
. After we shall have offered Spain a price for' Cw-
La far beyond its present value,: and tins shall have
been refused, it will be time toeontid.-r the question.
.Does Unlia, in the possession of Spain, seriously en-'
l' danger ottriaternal peace and the existence of our.
cherished Union I . .
Should this question be answered in the affirmative,'
then, by .every law, human and divine, we shag be
justified in wresting in from Spain if se e pongees the
I power; and this upon the very same principle that
wi,uld justify an individual in tearing down the burn
ing,
house of his neighbor,- if there were no other
means of preventing the flaw s from desfroying his
oars. home. ,
Under such circumstance we ought'neither to
, count the, cost nor regard the Odds: which Spain
might enlist against us. We forbear to enter into
the question, whether the present condition' of the
Island would justify such a measure . We should,
however, be recreant to our duty, be unworthy ofour
gallant forefathere, and commit base treason against
our posterity, should we penrilt Cuba to be African
ized and become a second St. Domino, with all its
atteedant horrors to the , white race, and suffer the
flames to extend to our own neig.hboring shores; -se
riously to endanger or ac yto commune the fair
fabric of our Union. .
We fear that the course d current of events are
rapidly, tending towards such s catastrophe..We,
ho never, ho for the best, though we ought certain
ly to be prepared for the worst. -
We also forbear to investigate the present ~eondi.
dition of the questiona at bens between the United .
t,e
&Ales and Spain. A long rice of Injuries to , our

of all her immense American possessions, a
little spot left, which she cherishes as a me-,
mento of the mighty past. Shereflises to sell '
it, and therefiwe says Mr. Buchanan, we will
wrest it from her. How strikingly. this re- ,
minds a reader of Scripture of the eenduct of
Ahab, the King of Israel, who coveted the
vineyard of his poor neighbor; who refused
to sell the patrimony of his .fathers. ,The
King, under the advice of Jezebel, pursued
precisely the same policy which Buchanan
advises our government to pursue in regard
to Spain. The prophet protiouneedthe judg
ment of God upon the idolatrous and cruel
Queen,- and the weak King, and the people of
the United States will soon pronounce a sen
tence of condemnation upon Mr. Buchanan.
Even the bad administration of Gen. Pierce,
disdained to take the martfuder, or rather the
Buchanier advice offered. They offered to
buy Cuba, but did not, under the highway
man's.plea, proceed to wrest it from Spain.
If Mr. Buchanan shall be elected President,
he will, lithe statements of his friends can
be believed, proceed to carry;;' out his ruffian
policy of robbing Spain of Cuba; thus inVolv

thing of value taken froth us. without cere

them to leave, and Shannon when applied to

means to crush its, backed up as they are by
the democratic party ? The cause of free
dom in Kansas has nothing td expect at their
hands. So well convinced am lof the utter
rottenness of the party now in power and
their worthless' lying pretensions, that it
seems to me that a just retribution will soon
overtake them. During the seventeenyears
of my residence in the State of Illinois, I have

his dirty work—instead of adrninisteringlus
tice their motto has been " We will - subdue
you"— and well have they served their mas
ter. The poor broken down politician,Shan
non, who has lately been victimized to save
appearances, is a fair sample of the whole,
batch. The fact -of our incarceration here
will explain in part our firm determination
to make Kansas a free State, and if need -be

with avouselous belief that it is a just, and
holy one, we are bound to stand by it to the
last gasp. Peeling that the. Almighty - Ru

our freedom or else leave our bones to bleach
