Richard Vavx., on taking the'ohalr.'said: Democrats of Philadelphia, it was a right re served by the Democracy at the Institution of the- Demcoratio party, and ever since exercised, that its constituents should express a preference for any of the candidates in nomination for election to cffloial service.' ' t To this right was conjoined a correlative and an Imperative duty on eaon individual member Of snob’ Democratic constituencies to support nominations thus made by their authorised representatives. In the enjoyment of this right, and yield leg an? reserved obedience to the commands, of this duty, we have now, and here, assembled to express our' preference t for Stephen A. Douglas M the cltUen and statesman to reocive the 'nomination by the National Demooralio Convention, for President of the United States. A National Convention of the Democratic party was regularly convened at Charleston, on the 23d of AprO last, oharged with the high ana solemn rev ipbnsihllity of placing in nomination a dltiwtt for election to the presidency of this Union. , r Into that Convention came discofd'ond sopesiloj}. They were there without constituents and without credentials. 'Among the masses of the Pfathmal -Democracy, nowhere can be found sentiments justi fying the intrusion of either spirit ip the councils of their representatives. Loyalty to their time-honored, national political organisation is as sincere and universal now a*-U was in the Jeffersonian yg—w-wHig 1 history. " V Devotion to the Union of these States is as pro found no W ■* ever, and tt'hae bee* exoiusfvelythemission of theJ}*m9era&#<ftaal* Teev and maiatain it, tore ther with oonsUtmiiMi, liberty and rights,' It faltered act In this devotion to the FoderaT Union, neither when Northern nul lification appeared in Connecticut, nor when South ern nullification advacoed Into Carolina. . . The causes which invoked the spirit of discord and eeoesff dot 'if the late Convention in Charleston did not originate With the masse? of the Democracy. They oamo only at the call'of personal action or dynastio weakness; in the one case. Invoked Co oover realised unpopularity, in the other, to ward off merited and foreshadowed condemnation. It is tho duty of the Democracy to declare its determination forever to deny thorn again admis sion into Its councils. They must be forbidden to interpose, either to defeat toe popular wilt or de stroy that union and harmony which must mark the deliberations of Democrats Conventions, grace their proceedings, and glye moral to their action. They must be compelled to retire from national Democratic conferences, for there disunion will never be permitted to plot or proselyte. In this Convention these disturbing elomeots ap peared. It is in vain to ascribe their exUUnee to any question not already determined by the Demo cratic party. At Cincinnati in 1856 the Demo cratic National Convention Anally adjusted the last of thoso issues which were designated “see; tlonal.” That adjustment was sanouonedby the national election of that ycsr. However optional and nnnatlonal political organizations may seek to revive these issues, as.the^ only mode of giving vitality to Bpch oojnbinattops, the Uemocnoy has settled them, and its settlement was apppnq by a majority of the people qf the United state*. cannot consent to any appeal from this decision. No new Issue has since been raised. The popular verdict has been gjven, and no secession hr a few, or dissatisfaction by less, can be permittee to dis turb it. For whatever may remain to bediieussed, there is a constitutional forum in which tie argu ments and the decision properly belong. Polltioal Conventions have performed their doty—the Fede ral- Congress has exhausted its powers—the na tional ballot-box has proclaimed its decree; to the Judiciary, Die bulwark of our liberty and property, must be leu the leg'al'oustoUy of rights iqoideqt to the great principles thus asserted. The Inability of the Convention at Charleston to select a candidate for President is to be regretted, for tbo causes adverted to. If wo oan afdlt on its reassembling at Baltimore, on the 18th of the pro? sent month, by the expression of our preference for a candidate, let us make tho effort. It is our right to do so, if respectfully made, and in the hope of harmony regained, Wt pay to them, Stephen A> Douglas will satisfy, in our opinion, the great majority of the Demo cracy here: Let that Convention do no despite to the peoplo’s voloe. Like Jaokson, he has been as sailed, misrepresented, and sought to ie over thrown. Standing almost alone In a Sons‘e of re presented sovereignties, he has fought Hi battle like a giant. The same Senate condemned Jack son at the biding ot the administration of a Bank of the United Slates. Tho people reversed the judgment. . '' A like judgment against Douglas may meet with a like result. Should the Baltimore Convention got heed our voloo, the duty which compels all true Democrats to support its action and its nominations will find ui ready to obey. We aro not so lost to all sense of patriotism and devotion to our country and our party as to barter away our political birthright, or turn traitor to our principles and-past political associations, because we may fell in sepurlog ttyo realization of onr most oherisned hopes. n SPEECH OF WILLIAM E. LEHMAN, ESQ. -Wm. E. Lehman wa9 then introduosd to the meeting, and spoke as follows: I have been in* struoted by the committee to report a series of resolutions; but, before doing so, allow me to say a few words. I heartily conour In the, objeots of this meeting, and believe that good will grow out of It—-good not only to the Democratic party, but to the nation, Dissension has been sown in the ranks of the party by designing politicians, who only desire to defeat Judge Douglas, ant} oare very little what becomes of the party or Us principles. This’ meeting will have a tendency to thwart the schemes of those who hayo betrayed and misrepre sented the party, and unite us in a common cause— obedienoe to the law, respect for the Constitution, and devotion to the union Amid all the false alarms that difturb ns, there is one real danger that we must vigilantly and continually guard against and that is the estab lishment of seotionai parties. It is tree that this peril has beset us almost from the commencement of the Government It has thus far been counter acted by the deep attachment of the masses every where for the Union—an attachment oonfined to no geographical line, but existing equally and as deeply in the South as in the North. I believe the same attachment egistp at the present hopr. I have no idea that Wm. L- Yancey any more repre sents the sentiments of the South than that Lloyd Garrison is an exponent of the views of the North. They are both extremists, and de not reflect the loyalty of tho people. Xhe Northern fanatiQ de* spises the Union, because it guaranties to-tho,| South the protection of slave property; and, on the; other hand, the Southern fanatio wishes to “ prooi pitate tho ootton States into a revolution,” be cause we of the North refuse i<S take the institu tion of-slavery to our besom as the sole idol of our hearts. The argument of all sectional men is apieoe with Mr. Seward’s “ irrepressible ponfilot,” that there is auoh a real diversity of interest North and South, that the happiness of eaoh is to be se cured by a separation. But this is a mischievous and wicked fallacy. The framers of onr Const!- tutlon wisely arranged that the States should have entire control over their local advancement; that they should form and regulate their own domesilo institutions ; that there shoold be no intervention or Interference on the par t of the Federal Government. And it is,' for this reason, bad policy, in • political point of view, for the Federal Administration to identify itself with any interest that i* purely local. This begets heart-burnings and jealousies. This policy is the cause of our present trouble. Mr. Buchanan was not content with following in the footsteps of the great lights of Democracy, and treating slavery as a focafinßtUution, and protect ing it as such; but he must make and by tneans of legislation, platforms, and ;resolution*, farce it Into the domestic eoosomy and policy of all the States. Thor© - was no necessity for this, end it is to be deprecated as a seotionai movement. The South are just as secure in their institution of slavery as they ever were. There is no aggressive spirit In the Democracy of the North. On the con trary, our Southern brethren are general favorites, , much more so, than, our Yankee brethren!'

Douglas is their choice for the Presidency, and to danonnoe - the shameless persecution of this distinguished Demo cratic ohampion, whose repeated vlotories over tho Opposition have covered, his namo with unfading Ft joined, That we solemnly pledge onr unfal tering devotion to tho Union, and express our oon tinned confidence in it as the best means of promo ting the prosperity and happiness of the peopio; that we will steadily resist every Infraction of Its obligations, oompaots, and compromises, maintain the sovereignty of its individual members, and ex tend .protection to every State and tho people thereof in ell their constitutional rights. - E esolved, That tho fundamental theory of this Go vernment rests upon the equal rights of all tho States; hat the people of the States and Territories are In the foil possession qf all the political rights not surren dered in tbo Constitution, from those principles the great dootrlno of non-intervention naturally - follows—non intervention as cell in tho Territories 1 as! in the State.—non-intervention by Congress with slavery In the Territories, end non-interven tion with the privileges and Institutions of the several Btat«s. To-this deotrine the Dethooratlo i party solemnly committed itself in 1853- It -was 1 enunciated and aooapted North and South, and it .whs distinctly understood that, hereafter, all ques tions relating to domestic slavery should be banished i from the halls of Congress, leaving tho people of i the Territories and the States- perfectly free to I form and regnlato their qwn domestto institutions, . under and anbjeoc to tho decisions, of the federal j couth/by wbioh alone the pease and harmony of ' this Bapnblio could be preserved, and the liberties of, the people established upon a firm and perma- < nant basis. . , . Resolved, That we utterly .repudiate all sea tional parties; wedenounoe the nomination made ! at Chicago as a purely-sectional one. By a rbshln- 1 Man passed ia its Convention, the prefix of " Na- ! .tfonaV’ta thelr party name .was deliberately ex- i tinged, whereby it was annonnead that their nqn- < Mata Waa sectional and not n yitfttonal renre- ' setitatife.

Marshall, of Illinois, was first intro dnoed to the meeting, and wee received with great enthusiasm. He said: F*llow-citizbks : My appearance before you to-night i| wholly aooident&l and unexpected to my* •elf. ' X am here a stranger, fitting yoqy ojty on basineta, but bearing of inis meeting of the gal* lent pemooraoy of Philadelphia, l felt it my duty to be present for the purpose of seeing who* ther the hearts of the people of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, tho real bone and sinew of the na tion, respond to the aame Democratic sentiments which are entertained by the Democraoy of the flowery prairies of the West. [Cheers.] I oome a humble oitisen from that ncolo Western State, whose highest pride is that she is represented iq the United States Senate by a stqtesqiaq'and ahero, who has the ability, and 'is not afraid to vindioate the Constitution of the country and the rights of tho people. [Great applause.] It would have afford ed me muoh pleasure to have been a listener rather than here to-night; and as I did not oome at all prepared for a speech, £ shall detain you but a few minutes. I feel, ,in commencing my remarks, something like the gentleqian who W 1“ ‘S* ft f ooml n g hoBB t(p»y ) «ni shen5 hen expostulated with by ' his wife, replied tat it was not beoaqse he liked liquor that he drank so muoh of it, but because he was invited by his friends and could not refuse, being snob a poor hand at making an apology. Gentlemen, I was a poor hand at making an apology, jrhen I tried to excuse myself to night, and as I must s ay something I will be as brief as possible. [“Go on,” “we want a long speeoh from you,’ ’ oto. j Fellow-cHUens of Pennsylvania and of the noble olty of Brotherly Love, you wilt be called upon very soon to determine the most important issue ; ever submitted for the determination of any froe people on earth. It is the question as to whether this glorious Union, around whioh cluster th e hopes of millions, shall be rent asunder, our flag torn into fragments and trailed in the dust by seotionalists ansT disu nlonists, or whether the hgnest masses of tho'people will raljy around the Constitution qnd resolve to transmit it to our posterity as it oame to us from our fathers. [Applause.] The spirit of faotion, aud of sohlstn—-that spirit of antagonism to i all that is right and honest—is rifo in the land; and, whether it intends so or not, will lead to a dissolution of the Uqloq, the degradation ! of our country and our people, and all those horrors and miseries whioh must follow, as a necessary, In evitable result, the division and disunion cf the i States of ibis Confederacy. Thore are dlsunt nists North and South 1 there are men in the North who disregard the rights of the South, and there aremtn in the South who live upon the fanatical exoitemen * which they keen constantly alive in tholr section! •gainst the North. The object of these men is to ob tain offices for themselves or retain those they now hold; but the honest masses of the oountry have no sympathy with them or their principles, and can not be influenced by them. - The people love their oountry, they love the Constitution, they love their Institutions, and they will defend and main* tain them by supporting the 'conservative prin ciples upon which this Union rests. [Cheers.] what in the radical difference now at issue before the people of the country ? Because, although you have oome here for the purpose of pressing upon the attention of the National Democratic Conven tion shortly to assemble at . Baltimore theolalms of the greatest statesman of this oountry, yet men are as nothing compared to the interests whioh the people of this country and their posterity hare at stake. There are men in all ages who are repre sentative men, who are the bold champions of certain great ideas ahd principles, and it is eminently proper that to suoh men should be conftded the trait of carrying out those principles, if the people believe they are right; but. as I said before, men are as nothing compared with the des tinies of the country; aud it is for every mao to decide how the peace and welfare of our beloved f fe n «S*!- ¥*‘- , b 8 piiaiA^ft^ttpjLa*^' - n .^ a t doolabn...

[Cheers.] They tnU about squatter sovereignty ns if it was something new. as if It was a principle but recently introduced.

Maasa ohusetts, or those from any other State. And yet this principle of popular sovereignty is now a terri ble doctrine. Virginia was made a slave State bv it, and every slave SUte.admitted into the Union— Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Ken tacky, Tennessee. Arkansas, 'and MiMourl-recog nJE«d the institution, noc through the interposition of the federal Government, but by the practical working .of non-intervention and popular sove reignty. [“ That’s so I” and applause.] There never was a , State admitted into the Union, slave or free, which, did hot onter noder this principle, which was adopted'as the funda mental principle of the Democratic party in 1048 , by an almost unanimous vote, established by Con -8n» In the Compromise Measures of 1850, again t “® Whig and Democratic parties ip 1852, and unanlmoufely reaffirmed by the Demo cratic party at .Cincinnati, in , 1860, fapplauße,] when Pennsylvania’a favorite ago, James Ba- was nominated, [DerUiv* laughter.] wMatt grut rwpMt uut veiwnitlou for th« old Whig p>r ty, and th. grout atatninen whioh it produo«d, [»ppl»us.]—both adopted, In thoir plltfonna and oreods, and onforoed tn tho prootioal lagiilatlan of tha oountry, tho dootjineof non-intorroutlon; and nt that day, if any man had advooatad tho prinoh pie that the.power of the Federal Government should bo used either fqr or against slavery, he would not have been permitted to claim fellowship with oltbor of those parties. [Applause.] A word or two mow. Theßepublioan party pre tend tQ bo tbe peculiar friends of the Union. It U not the party that cries out •‘Union” that is the truest to the Union—lt Is'not the people that cry out peace oil the time that are for peace. We must look at their doctrines. What Is the result of their doctrines? They are as objectionable os those of the dlsunloniits of the Soath. What is there effect? They hold Is their party creeds, and their maintain in their pledges every where, that the Fe deral Government established by the people of all the States, North and ccmth—that we of the North, being in tho majority, must take control of this Federal Government; mast use it far the purpose of crippling the South in her rights of ex pansion, and in her rights of property guarantied bv tho Constitution, what would be the result of these dootriqes if carried oat? There Is not a man within the sound of my voice who does uot know that, if the Republican party of tho North were to get the control of this Government, and to attempt to carry out tho dootrlnes whloh their leaders advocate, it would, inevitably, result in the breaking up of this Union, in blood shed and in civil war. Even the lead en of that party themselves have become alarmed at the tendency oi their dootrines, yet they are not willing to abandon them/ The Re publican party now brings forward a man whom they tell us is more distinguished for splitting rails than for anything else in the world. I am residing In the same State with Mr. Lin coin, and a cq, to some extent, a neighbor of his. and I intend to say nothing against his personal character. They call him <( Honest Old Abe.” Well, I suppose honest; but they re peat this phrase as if they were tickled to death at the Idea that they had found an honest man in the Republican party. Now, why is It that they talk so muob about “ hqnest old Abe?” In God's name, did they never suspect before that they had an ho nest man in their party ? Is there no other honest man in the Republican party but “honest old Abe?” |A voloe, “No,”] Now,‘l suppose he U an henosc man in all his personal and toolol rela tions, but although I am an Illinoisan, and although Mr. Lincoln has lived in that State some thirty or forty years, I must say that I never heard him called 11 honest old Abe ” until ho was nominated for President by the Ropnbllcan party. It is an epithet which they froshly applied to him. They talk about his rail-splitting and his honesty. Why do we hear this ? A re not most of the men of this oountry honest nod upright in thoir personal de portment—though they may not be as politicians? Unquestionably they are, and we have never be fore beard any party resort to this oatoh-theme of honest old somebody' ©r the rail-splitter, unless they were oonscloua that their candidate had no principles and no qualities of.statesmanahlp to re commend him to the Amerioan people. [Applause.] < Henry Clay was a poor orphan boy, who worked his way un from poverty until he became the oentr? qf admiration as an orator to the whole gating world; and Henry Clay, in all Iris personal relations, was as honest a man as God ever placed ou this green globe; but who ever hoard the Whig party talk about honest old Henry Clay? When they spok oof him they spoke of him as a giant statesman, by his iron will, and regarded his matchless patriotism in bringing thaAmerioan peo ple baok from their wandering! to the true land marks of the Constitution, with a just and glowing pride that their country should nave given birth to suoh a man. So it .has been with all the men of this country who hare achieved something worthy of note.-in their manhood. It is only with men who have not established any position as statesmen, it is only with men who have nothing to oommend them selves to tho Amerioan people around whloh they can rally, that we hear the party leaders.when they bring them forward; talking about “Honest Old Abe, and “ raU-epUtters.” Now, I insist, if a man is to be elected President because he has split rails, we have, in our oountry, many people who have split a great many more rails than ever Abe Lincoln did. If this Is his qualification for the office of President, if for suoh achievement* as that he is to be brought forward as the unequalled and matohless orator of the land; as tho man whose’feats of statesmanship, Whose giant Intellect, and whose natural eloquence had gathered around him the pride and the admi ration of the whole Amerioan people. [Applauso.] In the brilllanoy and splendor of bis achievement* they forget the “mill boy of the slashes,” though he was sometimes referred to as suoh. Daniel Webster was a poor boy and worked like a slave in a olerk’a office, > even after he had arrived at manhood; but who ever heard of any party referring to him as the poor, humble boy, who was obliged to toll, year after year, in a clerk's office, for .the purpose of sustaining him self while reading law? No; the intefleot of Daniel Webster was of so sublime a character that it eclipsed the obscurity of his boyhood, and when men looked upon him they saw him only as the giant of maturer years, and regarded not the hum le beginning of nis youth. Bo it was with Jackson. He, too, was a poor boy, left an orphan In his youth, and struggled unfrem the ranks Of poverty to occupy a position prouder than that of any king upon earth; [Great ap plause. ] But when men speak of the Hero of New Orleans, do they oall him the ” honest old rail splitter?” No. The qualities Of his manhsod, when he had been brought prominently before the world, were of tush a character that never, except to gra tify a mere historical ouriosiiy.- did men refer to the humble beginning of the* boy. They looked only upon the giant etatuel that was erected. No, gentlemen, It is an insult to the intelligence of the Amerlqan people to use nob on argument as tniiin regard to a candidate presented for the highest office in the gift of any people on earth. For President of the United States we do not want merely a' man who has tolled his way np from poverty; but, as for that, we have man a man In the Democratic party.

Another Olympiad is nfgh, and the American States are choosiDgthelrohampioMto enter for the great race, the prise of whioh ls the laurel wreath of the Presidency. Id'the Convention which' re* oently assembled at Charleston were the repre sentatives of every State and Congressional dis trict in the entire Republic. , I do not mean th|»t all were faithful representative#—for, to oar shame be it spoken, the mejority from oar State no more reflected the wishes of their constituents than Wendell Phillips rfpeqks the sentiments of the American people. A majority of the Convention, by the parlU* mentarv rules t which had been unanimously adopted for the government of the body, after the fullest discussion, reaffirmed the Cincinnati plat form.- Did the Convention right? As this has been disputed by the braxan-fsced politicians of the South, and by some of the bad*headed, th* soft-hearted, and weak-kneed doqgfcfsbe* of the North, let, us for a few minutes examine the sub ject, for, if wrong has boon done, let as fly to do the right. African slavery, which England now looks on with hypocritical horror, was introduced into this, our polftioslparadfse, by the sin of the mother country. When Great Britain denied thp people of these then Amerioau territories the right to legislate -for- themselves, they pro- Our fathers, devoted to the eaefed culm In whiek many had lost and all had'risked their Mvw, their hearts inflamed with the fires of liberty and brotherly love, dealt #!th the'iubject of slavery as praotisat and patriotic’men. 'No mean advantage sought ono section to take of the Other. He who boasted of love for one part would' have been doabted in hit devotion to the whole country. They com promised sUdifferencef and laonchad (as they fondly hoped) the Republic on the sea of time, to float for countless esntaries, freighted With the ba[)pinen of each succeeding generation of the Amerloan people, the prot©otor or freedom and the bearer of glad tidings to all the down-trodden of the world. Prom' tune to time, as’the magnificent country of the West beoame Inhabited, slavery was made the tubjeot of contention and dispute in Congress and throughout the entire land. In the North, political fanatics itrova to deprive our Southern brethren of all'right to emigrate'with their property, and to exile them forever (tom the territory purchased by gold from the coffers of the nation, or won by united valor. When the vast domain stretching from the Rio Grande to the’ Sierra Nevada, and tbanee sloplog to the Paoifio sea, had become ours by right ofoooquost, but which was about being magnani mously purchased, a powerful party in IheNorth aimed to tob the South of its rights by the passage of the odious Wilmot Prbilao. They sought by Congressional legislation to deprive our fellow countrymen of equal rights in the Territories. To the rescue of their brethren oame the ohivalric De mocracy ef the North. For years the strife con tinued in the halls of the Oapitol until at last the fear orept over tho strongest hearts that imminent danger threatened tho Republic. Then It was that partisanship was forgotten is the more ennobling theme of patriotism. Then' the wise, the good, and the true thought only of their country. Then it was that Clay, [applause,] who had year* before bode farewell to hi*peo'r*,ahd retired to the shade# of Ashland, bearing with him in his retreat the respectful homage of all who glory In' our truly great, though far adv&oohd tn year*, ones more entered the Senate to lend hta potential aid io re storing peace to our distracted land, and then to die when the good Work was done Then Webster, [applause.] with a front Uke Jove, spoko “not as a‘Massachusetts man, but for his country.” Then the venerable Cess, the giant Douglas, tho jurist Badger, and others, all strove for the common good of all. After months and months of solicitude, It vu finally decreed that the subject of slavery shoold be forever banished from the halls of Congress, and, in nnUon wlth the spirit of Republican institutions, it should be dele gated to the people of each of the several Territo ries. Thru tho task Was done; California In her robos of gold entered with the joyous greeting of every patriot heart into the ehanned etrele ot the Union. Tho clouds of,discontent departed, and the sun once more looked down on a happy, pros perous, and united people. These measures of peace and reconciliation met with almost universal approval. A‘few bold, bad men, tried to stem tho torrent of popular feeling in the South, but they Were swept into ignoble and deserved defeat. The "Democratic National Convention, in 1852, adopted the Compromise Measures. The Whig National Convention echoed the same sentiments. In 1854, Mr. as chairman of the Commit tee on Territories in the Senate, introduced the Kansas and Nebraska bill, the first practical ap plication of the Compromise Measures that I have specially named. It passed the Senate with the vote of every Demooratio Senator; it was carried through a Demooratio House of Representatives; It was concurred in by a Democratic Cabiaetia which was Jefferson Davis; it was signed by a Democra tic President, and was received with approbation by the Demooratio party, North and couth, with the solitary exception of a weak-kneed gentleman, j whom I will name in a few minutes. The ' passage of this aot- was denounced most veho* ! mently by the enemies of the South.' Mr. Douglas was the especial object of Northern fury, and many were tho indignities heaped oh the brafe little man As he mihself said, ; he could ride from Washington to his home in Illinois at night by. the i light of his own effigies. In 1856, at the Cincinnati I Convention, the South—ave, Itniak, even in the | person of Yancey—demanded the prinoiplo of non intervention and a faithful oomplianoe with the sacred compact of 1850. The Convention unani moosly—jnatvC*, unanimously—and with enthusiasm adopted the principle that slavery should' not be legislated Info any Territory by OongTess, or be oxoludod therefrom, but be left entirely to the -peo ple thereof, subject only to the Constitution of Um United States. Mr. Buobanan and Mr. fireokeu ridge expressly aooeptod the nomination on that platform. Mr. Cobb and Mr. Case and Mr. Dou glas, on the same stand in and Mr. Stephens, at OhambeisDurg, in unquali fied language, advocated the doctrine, and every Southem State, save Maryland, as it Is now boast ed, gave its electoral vote for our nominee*, who were, by 1 TV* twy/ttaMd’a ,' vefo"' , elected. Listen to an extract from the sp«*oh of ueo.. Casa, made at the meeting I have alluded to { and 1 jt iu, Mr. President, wen president of that meet-! j “ And you, my fellow-Democrats, who are now around me, and who have oome to this convocation of freemen,' knowing your rights and always de termined to maintain them; you pwtiqipaU, in the government of this good old Reystena stsde— K.jitone may » •'« b.-«d boo tain, oyjoa nav.

And think yon, if yon should remove .to Kansu, .that they would be leas dear to you, len competent to manage thorn ? Yet if you wore, then it ia claimed by the opponeataof Democracy—by all of thorn, I believe, that tbit power to regulate your dome*tie relation* Would belong te Coupon, not to you. That a foreign Legislature, iortlgn to tho Territory, (haoaou the i Territory hu.no representation ia it,) has th* right to dictate on tho rahjaet of then relabel*, and thoti, it is tto duty to oontrol one ef them ot least, that of master and servant, and that th* right of Mlf-government does ndt haleag to the people. Do yon think, if you wore theso, you would approve of such a. moutmoaosarpoaon? H. who would do so is u unfit to enjoy tho privi leges of a freeman u he is Incapable of apprsola tlng thslr value.
