great Element af strength into an Implacable edrhily. ‘ ! ‘ Never, in the history of partisan warfare, were men more unjustly and (jerseveringly misrepresented than are the opponents of the extension of slavery. This arises in part from the intolerant nature of slavery, and the weapons it is necessitated to employ, ant l P art ' ly from the fact-yso omnipotent has the Slave Power become in our government —that sup port of its every demand is made the single test of parly fidelity, and the only road to official preferment. The citizen who disseols in terms of earnest and manly protest against whatever exactions Slavery makes, becomes thereby—in so far as the National Govern, ment can impose disabilities—almost as much an alien and outlaw as is the slave himself. If the freemen of the North consent to occupy such a subordinate position in the govern ment of their country, fhe spirit of manly independence will be crushed out in their pos terity. Our sons will become a submissive and servile race; stripped of manhood and of self-respect. The slaveholder, proprietor of the soil, and master of the government, will . domioaje over them with scarcely less of ar rogance and power than ho rules over his hereditary bondsmen. To this condition are the non-alaveholding whites of the South already reduced. They have to day little more of practical power in the formation of public opinion, and in the affairs of government, than has the slave.— The same fate awaits our posterity, if slavery is allowed to monopolize the virgin soil of this continent. It is the inevitable retribution of heaven on any people that have not the cour age and integrity to maintain their rights.— It is not trueithat the defenders of the rights of free labor seek the elevation of the black race to an equality with tha while. They do not propose the emancipation of the slave, but leave that question, both as to lime and the mode of its accomplishment, with the States in which slavery exists. They wish to deal wilh this great and embarrassing evil in a spirit of friendly forbearance towards those Slates; but they cannot carry their lor-' bearance so far as to virtually become slaves themselves—as to surrender the soil and gov eminent of the nation into the hands of an aristocracy founded upon properly in slaves. Free white labor has rights ip the sail su, perior to the pretensions of slavery. The slaveholding capitalist claims that his proper ty, being largely invested in slaves, will de preciate, unless the field whereon he can em ploy it be enlarged. The white laborer, also, has a properly in his labor, quite as sacred and as worthy of the care of the Govern ment,- and where js the field'upon which he is to make that labor profitable to himself and family, if slavery shall monopolize the fertile and virgin lands of the West? Labffr is de pressed almost to the starving point in the densely populated countries ol the old world, because of the narrow field upon which it is imprisoned. The demand for labor is small, compared with the thousands who have labor to sell. So it will be at no distant day in this favored land, unless we keep our vast public domain as a sacred inheritance for the free white laboring man and his posterity forever. In the soil of our extended empire, the toiling masses have the only sure guar antee for their future prosperity and indepen dence. This the cupidity of capital would lake from them; and here lies the real issue that the Slave Power has forced upon the country. It is a struggle for land. On the one side stands the owner of slave properly, demanding a field on which to em ploy bis. servile labor —upon the other side stands free labor, claiming the soil as an in heritance for a free posterity, Central and Western Europe, teeming with its millions of population, is not as large ns the domain of (he American slaveholder. He and his bond men already occupy by far (he most fertile and genial portion of this continent. Let him rest content with his territorial possessions ond power. We do not seek to disturb him. We neither assail nor defend his asserted right to hold this peculiar kind of property. We simply affirm that we have nothing to do with it, and propose to let him and his slaves alone where they are. We make, there/bre, no question about the abolition of Slavery in the South. We but stand in defence of Freedom in the North. Kansas is in the lati tude of Philadelphia. In geographical posi tion id's a Northern Territory. It was dedi cated by a solemn compact in 1820 to Freedom forever. We claim the fulfilment of the bond. We defend the integrity of free Northern soil against the cupidity that would subjugate if by violence into a planta tion for slaves. Much has been said of the dangers involved in this controversy. We are counseled to submission and acquiescence in the wrong, because the wrong-doer threatens greater ca lamities if we shall dare to defend pur rights. Such threats are unbecoming those who make them; and an insult to those upon whose fears they are expected to operate. Great questions of governmental policy, involving the of our liberties, and the happiness of remote generations,'are not to be settled by appeals to the fears of any part of the American people? Reason, and the calm judgment of an enlightened public opinion, must .decide between freemen threats are a terror-to slaves. Imaginary dangers become realities to the tie corageous they vanish on a nearer approach. So, here the only danger lies in becoming alarmed. The danger is overcome the day it is met With resolute courage and determined purpose. Xhe right must prevail, and the wrong must give way. Upon no other basis can the ques tions at issue ever be permanently settled. It is no impeachment of the manly qualities of our Southern friends to say that they will and must submit to that .which is just and right, when constitutionally embodied in the legislation of the government. Let the free men ol the North announce, in language firm and nnmtslakeable, their purpose to resist the spread of slavery, and, at every cost, to pre serve the integrity of the Union, and we shall naye a lasting peace, such as no compromise, naving its foundation in wrong, can ever secure to the country, Ihp position taken by the Convention, in Ha resolve touching the duties and obligations mposed upon those who see)f adoption into our great American family of freemen, tpusl meet the approval of every patriotic citizen. We have a right to expect and require a perfect and undivided allegiance’ front all who are invested with the high prerogatives of citizenship. As the adopted citizen receives in full measure all the rights; and immunities of the native born, so ought he to render the like single and unreserved devotion to the country of his adoption. He shduld ac-. knowledge no earthly power superior to the Constitution an the sovereignty of the Ameri can people. There is no danger that we shall err in our zealous devotion to our coun try, and in the cultivation, of an intense American Nationality. 1 have -not time to speak of the other topics embraced in the platform of principles adopted by the Convention, in the manner their im, porlance deserves. Opportunities will be afforded me hereafter to make my views known on some matters of domestic policy closely connected in my judgment with the growth and prosperity of our great Common wealth. While the utmost care should be observed norm disturb the vast business in lerests of a Commonwealth so rich, and of such diversified pursuits as our own, yet it cannot be denied that ours, the richest Com monwealth of its extent in the world, has not kept.pace in the development of her re sources and in productive industry wilh some of her sister States. We may, therefore, without the charge of rashness, inquire if our policy could not, in some respects, be made more conformable to the spirit of the age, and more in harmony with the wants of an over-active business en terprise. .
