From tie Coudtnporf Journal. public Meeting—Speech pi Hon. r . David Wiimot. The People of Coudersport and vicinity have again been -entertained by a visit from Hod. David Wjlmot, of Bradford county. He arrived in our place on Fnday evening. July 7lh. At the earnest sohottatton. of B eve ; ral of the friends of Freedom, and earnest opposers of the Kansas-Nebraska outrage, he generously consented to deliver an address on the subject of the repeat of the M.ssoun Com promise, on Monday evening, Ju y lOlh. Handbills were accordingly circuited on Saturday announcing that he would address the people at the Court House at that lime. At ihe lime appointed the Court House was well filled, considering ihe shortness of the notice, with on earnest and attentive audi ence. The meeting was duly organized by calling G. B. OVERTON, Esq .’to the chair. Nelson Clahk and L. F. Matnabd were chosen Vice Presidents, and F. It. Jones and H. J. Olmsted, Sectaries. The President then introduced the Speaker of the evening, who proceeded in his usual logical and convincing manner to discusS the subtectof Hie late extraordinary legislation or, -the Congress of the United States relative to the repeal of the Bth section of the Missouri Compromis-. •• Mr Wilmot said—that the consideratfcrt of this question necessarily involved to a great extent the discussion of the question of slavery—that it was not his province, how. ever, to discuss the abstract or ihe moral auesnon of slavery—that there were others ( whose province and whose duty it was to, nive 'his branch of the subject a thorough and ( searching investigation—that he proposed to i mscuss u only as an element of vast political ; newer. He Ihen proceeded to show by quo- I lauons from Pairlck Henry, Madison, Jeffer- I son and others, and bv reference to the acts I of the Colonial. Stale and National Legisla- j lures and from other sources, that the early and cherished pnlicv of the fathers of this Republic, both North and South, was averse) K Slaverv —was intended to confine it to i narrow and prescribed limns and finally to , eradicate it as a foul slam upon our republ'i- 1 can character and tnsliluiions The territory i included id the Louisiana purchase, said Mr. | Whmot. is larger than England, France and Italy combined—and that each of these coun- ■ tries had in turn ruled the world. At the j time of the purchase slavery existed in Lou- j tsiana. and a verv few slaves might have ueea held perhaps in some pari ot ihe tern- , torv now included in the Stale of Missouri, jjoutstana was admitted as a State in 1812 | —no obKctinns were made to slavery in that j Slate, for slavery existed there at the lime of me purchase, Bu; when Missouri applied I to- admission with a Constitution tolerating i slavery, the North justly took Ihe alarm—| they saw in it an attempt to subvert the set- j Ilea and cherished policy of me Republican fathers. The North with unanimity and ’ success al first resisted this daring measure —al length a compromise is proposed —Mis- souri is to be admitted —but North of the j nut of 86 deg. 30 min. slavery is to be for- j evej prohibited—the North still stands oppo «od( and tbo people of ihe South insist upon | the measure—a fearful conflict arises—in- j tense excitement prevails. At length the South, aided by a few from the North, who swerved, perhaps through fear of the safely of the Union, from their original purpose, prevailed, and Missouri was thus admitted — mus this compromise was forced upon the North—the South triumphed. It was a great triumph—the first of the senes of triumphs which hove at length entirely deranged and subverted the early policy of the Republic. Arkansas was admitted with slavery without objection The Compromise had come to be considered as sacred, and this was a part of its provisions. Thus had the South extended ner accursed institution over Ihe whole terri tory south of the'Compromise line—she had received her consideration as stipulated in me compact. No one now denied the sa credness ,l of the Compromise as far as the tinhis guaranteed to the North' were con cerned, till a commntee of the Senate, in the secrecy of the committee room, concocted the Dole, wicked, and startling project, a foul conspiracyTb repeal this compromise and to open the whole territory to the inroads of slavery. The south were again united—the President, regard Ihe most sacred Pledges, in direct opposition to the platform o: principles upon which he was elected, by a shameless abuse of his power and influence, nnc pv corrupt promises of Government pat ronage, succeeded in obtaining Northern votes enmimi to secure ihe passages of Ibis odious measure - “ How little,”,said the ’speaker, "do we know of ourselvek.” Had President Pierce been told al his inauguration, lhal in less man one year he would urge ihe repeal m me Missouri Compromise, he would doubt e ss nave answered with indignation. 11 Is ihy servant a dog, that he should do this great tninp t l * Mt. Wilmotsaid that in every couniry and it, aii ages aristocracies were always united and always powerful. That the slaveholders o' me South constituted a wealthy, united anaipo jyerfuJ aristocracy, and as such bo op posed ihemi For his pari, if he was to be governed, be an aristocracy he chose that which traced its descent from the Ceesars, or irom some d her-ancient slock, for there,was something sublime in that. But to cringe to at nnttocraby which was sustained by the overseer’s laish and by a traffic in human be ings, had in lit nothing of (be grand and sub note, and savored too much of meanness for mm to sloop to. Mr. Wilrrjot showed most clearly that the success of jhe South ovbr the North was Drought by means of the unity of inter esis which prevailed there. Whatever affec ted me interests of slavery, affected the whole slaveholding. South, and they acted in fur tnerance of their own interests, regardless of dead issues* and slight shades of difference Detween parties. But at the North there is no great interest to unite us—we are contin ually fighting ovejr party names and shadows where there sas no real difference of opin ion For this reason, the North, although superior in learning, intelligence, wealth, and talents, had been uniformly defeated upon all questions touching the interests of slavery. Mr. Wiiraot urged with great force and clearness the folly of being blinded by the party names and prejudice? by dead issues and ahi Jpw* jof- to the great qbestion of the'day—the slavery ques tion—and the restoration of the Missouri Compromise. He sai,dihatthere yyas iqeth er issue before the jteople, arid ridifculedmost effectually the idea bfT refusing to vote for a Whig or a Democrat who agreed with us upon this question ani disagreed with us on no t vital or practical issue now agitating the public mind, merely because of a difference in name. He urged the voter to reflect seri ously before casting his ballot, and to vote as becomes an intelligent citizen in such a manner as to effect those issues which now present themselves. The above is but a meager abstract of the address of Judge Wilmot, and gives but a faint idea of the forcible and convincing man ner in which he treated this great and all-ab sorbing subject. Throughout ihe whole of a two hours’speech, (he audience listened in a manner which showed.that they were highly -pleased with the speaker and deeply interes ted with the subject under consideration. At the close of the address the meeting adjourn ed. ( Signed by Ihe Officers.)' Connect lent. The Legislature of this State adjourned on Saturday, after a, session of two months. The Prohibitory Liquor Law Bill, is one of the fruits of the session. The intrigues of demagogues had prevented for several years Ihe passage of thia.net, when clearly demand ed by the people. The Legislature chosen on that issue, met the subject like men, and eoacied a law which. Gov. Dultdb says is the nearest perfect of any law yet ppssed, and will be vigorously enforced. An act was also passed “ for the defence of Liberty,” which we hope lo see copied by this, and oth er Northern Stales. It provides that any person falsely claiming a slave shall be liable to $5OOO fine and five years imprisonrrient. This will render slave-catchers afraid-or pur suing their unholy work in Ihe linjits of lhal Stale. Resolutions were passed by a decided majority denouncing the Nebraska bill and severely censuring the course of, ? Senator Toucey in its favor. The Senators and Rep resentatives of the Slate were instructed lo introduce in Congress and support an amend ment to the Fugitive Slave Law, to secure the right of trial by jury to alleged fugitives. VVe copy two other which show lhal the spirit of freedom is aroused and will henceforth stand firm in opposition to the en croachments ofJSlavery: Resolved , Thai the Federal Constitution, ordained to form a more perfect Union, to es tablish justice, and to secure the blessings of liberty, expressly denies to the General Gov ernment the power to deprive any person of life, liberty or properly, without due process of law, and that Government having no more power to establish Slavery than to establish a monarchy, should at once proceed to relieve itself qf all responsibility for the existence of Slavery, whereever it possesses constitu tional power to legislate for its extinction. Resolved , That this General Assembly, in view of the fact that the Compromise hereto fore made on the subject of Slavery by act of Congress, have virtually been repudiated and deprived of their moral force and author ily, by the repeat dF "URSUANI;IoanAct passedihe General .
