prominent historical fact, to wit: that the in
ventor of an ingenious machine for cutting
off the heads of Frenchmen, was rewarded for
his benevolent contribution to science by a
Inleeettefelbexperitnent upon his own.
In the, utterance of that " - higher law" ..and
"irrepressible conflict" doctrine, at the city of
Rooheeter, in the year 1808, Mr. Seward may
be said to have opened wide the pandora's box;
be raised the whirlwind, but was utterly power
less to direct the storm. The author of an
erroneous, even though dangerotht doctrine,
when honestly enter! d
clee.„ may not be ILUlenfi
ble to the charge of having criminally offended
against the moral law. Not so, he who de
liberately publishes dangerous error, know
ingly, from motives of gain, or criminal lust of
power. " Words are things," and just in pro
portion to the extent of the mischief created by
their publication, will their author be held re•
sponaible by the unerring judgment of pos
terity. When, therefore, Mr. Seward told the
people of this country that there was a " moral
law," a law of sentiment, higher than the Con
stitution of the United States, and that, by im
plieation, if not in words, the allegiance of the
people was due to the superior law when it
came in conflict with the Constitution, he pro
mulgated error—most pertecious error—wil
fully, deliberately,, in order that, upon this
dangerous so phistry, h e might construct a party
out of the fl.tatiog debris of disrupted organi
zations, upon whose turbulent, ephemeral tide
be might be carried into power. In this, was not
this great leader of the Republican party guilty
of at least moral treason ?
I hold as an axiom; that the Constitution of
the United States, embodying in its.provisions
the will of tire sovereign people, is, per ee, the
government of the United States. That Consti
tution provides for its own administration — in
the election by the people of agents, with power
to those agents to appoint subordinates The
official titles of said principal agents, their
terms of office, their duties, and their salaries,
being fixed and designated by the people in
their Constitution. And whenever, and by '
whomsoever, sedition to, or subtraction from.
that fundamental law, in ever so minute a de
gree is attempted—save in the manner written
and provided therein—or whenever, and by
whomsoever, another law is attempted to be
substituted for this supreme law, the person or
-persons so offending are guilty of, at least.
moral treason to the Government of the United
States.

SPEECH.
THOMAS J. MILES, ESQ.,
2113/011.11
the Democratic Central Club, of Philadelphia, delivered
on Saturday evening, June 27tb, 1883
"flow natural that the author of the higher
law doctrine, should also be the author of the
following words, addressed to Lord Lyons, in
November, 1E561: "My Lord, I can touch a bell
on my right hand, and order the arrest of a
citizen of Ohio; I can touch the bell again and
,order the impriaonment of a citizen of New
York ; and no power on earth, except that of
the President, can release them. Can the
Queen of England dons much!" If Lord Ly
ons responded to this interrogatory, he doubt
less said—"No, indeed, she cannot. God for
bid that she could i"
Whether Mr. Seward intended this to be an
illustration of a "higher" or a lower law, it is
a power certainly not derived from the Cansti•
tution of the United States; and whether I, an
unostentatious citizen, yet the peer of the Sec
retary of State, shall fall a victim to this arbi
trary power for thus exercising the preroga
tive of a freemen, it is impossible to tell; but
CM long as God 'in hid mowy shall preserve,
unimpaired, those faculties I received from
him, and which alone elevates man abovd the
brute creation—the faculties of thought and

Mr. Seward is not a fanatic, or a sentimen
talist, but a cold, intellectual, calculating poli
tician. No man better comprehends the theory
and structure of our government; no man bet
ter understood the resolute character of the
Southern people, and no men knew better than
he that our confederative system could not en
dure the strain of a purely sectional presiden
tial contest, waged upon the principle of an
"irrepressible conflict" between the slave labor
of the South and the free labor of the North ;
but, reasoned Mr. Seward to himself, I shall
have become President of. the United Staten;
the goal of my ambition will have been attained ;
for the sake of preserving - the Union and avert
ing civil war, I can abandon the principles
upon which I shall have been elected. In other
words, I will "Tylerize" the Republican party
for the sake of preeerving the - Union ; parties
and platforms, quoth Mr. Seward, must all be
made subordinate to the one grand patriotic
purpose of preserving the Union ; end who
knows, we may fancy the astute reasoner say
ing to himself, but that this noble sacrifice of
long cherished opinion, on the altar of the
Union, may induce my appreciative and grate

term ? Alas I what a pity that

In transmitting to Congress a copy of. the
Constitution, and the resolutions of the Con
vention that it-should be submitted to a con
vention of delegates from the States for ratifi
cation, George Warhington, who performed
that duty, thus wrote :
tiThe Constitution which we now mom lq
the result of a spirit of'amity, and of that mu
tual deference and concession which the pe
culiarity of our political situation rendered
indispensible that it is liable to as few excep
dons as could reasonably be expected, we hope
anti hulieve ; that it may promote the lasting
welfare of that country so dear to us ell, and
secure her freedom and happiness, is our most
ardent wish."
Thus wrote George Washington, the Chris
tian, the patriot, the sage, the statesman, the
peerless example to all mankind,--he whose
sublime virtues have so adorned and ennobled
the human character as to cause even the
brightest in history to pale before the efful
gence that encircles his name as With a halo
of glory.

Contrast is, at least, an artistic arrangement.
I have given you the written opinion 01 Wash
ington upon the Constitution ; permit me now
to read the published opinion of fnother dis
tinguished personage upon the same document.
Said Wendell Phillips:
• "Away with a Constitution that recognizes
traffic in human flesh. It is a covenant with
dealt! and a leapt with hell."
Both of these personages will be remembered
in history. Phillips, as well as Washington,
has been the recipient of distinguished honors.
Dnit winter he was invited to a seat on the floor
of the United States Senate, an honor rarely
accorded in an official manner, and only to the
moat exalted characters. He has been the
honored guest of the present President of the
•United States, who alto honored him with his
presence at one of his Abolition lectures. If
I rightly remember, it was the famous lecture
entitled •'Touissant L'Oaverture," the bleak
demon of St. Domingo, whose "known rule of.
warfare" was '•the indiscriminate slaughter of
all ages, sexes and conditions ;" whose '.mer
eiless savages" marched on to victory with the
impaled body of a white infant elevated in front
of their column, in order to incite to higher
enthusiasm their "heroic valor."
This is the "hero" whom Wendell Phillips,
in the address I haie named, declared to be
greater and betlrr man than our own beloved
Washington. You hive now the recorded
opinions upon the Constitution of the elaye
holder Washington. of Virginia, and the Abo
litionist Paillspe,. of Massachusetts. Which is
it safest to follow

Wally desirable result. I contend for the su
premacy of reason over passion, the lairs of
God and our better nature over the baser in
stincts of man. The Union of the Staten is
held together by powerful though elastic cables,
capable of great expansion before they snap
asunder.
These are a common ancestry, a common lan
guage, a common religion, C012121320n sufferings
and pride in the memory of the past ; the law
of consanguinity, the laws of trade and com
merce, the flow of rivers, the stretch of rugged
mountain chains and peeceful Smiling valleys.
Then there is one other great bond of union,
a cable which must 'hold when all' theeothers
hlve parted ; there is but one, and only one—
Washington
These, I have said, are elastic cables. When
heated in the crucible of passion, they expand
and continue to expand just in proportion to
the intensity and duration of the heat. While
capable of immense expansion, there is a point
where the most elastic cord will Hasp.
But let it once begin to cool, and immediately
contraction begins, until at length there is a
return to original dimensions.
Hasten, then, my fellow-citizens, Republi
cans as'well as Democrats, not to add fuel to
the already seething furnace, but to aid in
quenching this demoniac flame, before your
ears shall be saluted with the noise of the part
ing cables; that sound would fall upon our
.affrighted senses like the laugh which may be
supposed to have arisen from Pandemonium
when the angels fell from their high estate.
I believe that, could there , be a cessation of
hostilities; not that kind of pause when each
army is watching the other like crouching
tigers,, ready for a bound; but en official ces
sation—an armistice for sixty or nihety days,
hostilities would never be resumed I Each day
of that blessed probation—that (in legal par
lance) f• cooling time," affording to region an
opportunity to resume her sceptre, would be a
victory won—a bloodless victory in the con
quest of peace—and Would, as I firmly believe,
result eventually inw restoration of the Union
as it was, (save the.sed memories of the pres
ent.) and the Constitution as it is. Of course,
this opinion ie based upon the hypothesis that
the war is carried on for the purpose et resto
ring the Union.- If the contest is wagid for the
aloolibioti of Slavery, in disregard of the plainest
codatitutionaliguarantees;thewl-confess that
all I have soh:thee no force, and we must pre
pare for the disintegration of society. The only
foes of the colored man are those who would
suddenly or violently disrupt or attempt to de
stroy the social relations existing between the
Iwo saves in the•southern States.- --
I would suggest' to the Abolition pintion of
the clergy—and for this suggestion I have the
example of the Union League—that on some
appointed day, they preset' froni the text, obitt
tamped in the 44th, *tit and 46th verses of the
26th chapter of Leviticus : •
'•Both thy bondmen - and thy bondmaids
which thou shalt have, shall be Ofthe heathen'
that.are round about you ; of them.shall ye buy
bondmen' and liondmaide. •
"Moreover of the children of the strangers

buy ' • and oft arr families that are with you,
which they begat in your land ;•and they shall
be your posses{

forever."
And when thr i rcliticalAbolition clergy, of
- the Reverend A • lion Giluirt stripe, writhe,
and twist, and .stiirm, and try to cheat you
with suggestions about "literal constructions,"
"old dispensations" and all the other stereo
typed saphiltries r ,do—which. thr.3r..resort when
cornered, point tii4nt, to the kite. chapter, and
almbst the lost Ilfrikof the sacred volume—
Revelations, 20 - *hap., 38th kelt 9th verses:
"If any man Atoll' add miitei 7 these things,
God shall• add unto him theSe: " that are
5 ,
written in this book: and if any hall take
away from the words of the boor' Ole. pro
phecy, God shall take away his Partnut of the
book of life and out of the holy city; and from
the things which ore written in thin book,"
After this, if he persists in his sacrilegious
endeavors to distort these plain tests of Scrip
ture, and mystify you by learned sophisms, let
him know that you believe him, to he just what
he is—a knave and a hypocrite.
I am also aware that the Constitution of the
United Hfates is treated in like manner with
the Holy Bible; perversion of its plainest pro
visions is their argument when yon quote the
Constitution, and When they find that men will
not be blinded by their sophistry, they have
the effrontery to speak contemptuously both
of the Constitution 4ad of those who quote it,
saying that the Constitution is made a cloak to
cover up treason. Was there ever mendadity
equal to this? The Constitution a cldak to
cover treason!
It might with . equal propriety be said that
the blessed light of day would be made a cloak
to Golfer up MiUtdot or anon. Ido not believe
that Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Jack
son, although slaveholders, were criminals.—
I do not believe that twelve of the thirteen
original States, when they provided for its se
curity by an express clause in the Constitution
committed a sinful act.
Not slavery, but the fanatical interference
with it, has produced this civil war. Nor do
I agree grith those who have regarded the in
stitution of slavery (as it has existed in Ajmer
ica) as a great social evil per as, any more than
other existing institutions. Religion itself,
at different periods in history, has appeared to
be a great social evil, and in the name of reli
gion the most abominable crimes have been
committed. Even at this day ? end in our own
land, those beautiful lessons of charity and
good will among men taught by our Saviour
on the Mount of Olives, are so perverted by
those of our clergy who have been inoculated
with the virus of Abolitionism. thett•our chil
dren may well be at a loss to know whether
their duty is to 1048 or to hate their "neighbor

Mr. Sumner introduced a bill into the Senate
for the obliteration of State boundaries, redu
cing the southern States to territories.
They carved a new State, **Western Vir

fourth, section third, of the Constitution reads;
"No new ntate shall be formed or erected within
the jurtadietiron of any other State."
They have provided for the election of mem
bers of Congress, in districts within the retibl
lions States, in a manner subversive of the
express provision of the Conptituf ion. in order
to retain a majority in the House of Represen
tatives. in defiance of the popular expression
at the ballot•box.
In order to guard, as far ss it was possible,
againehthe danger of centralised power, our
fathers provided in the eighth secteon of the
first article of the Constitniton, that "the Con
