Wo quote from a debate in the Senate March 11th, 1802. Mr. CLYMER. But, says the Senator from Bradford, if this country could be restored to peace, and could go on from age to age prosperously, with this insti tution intact, ho would bo inclined Mr. LANDON. The Senator is not right, sir. I wish to bo rightly represen ted. I want tho whole of the quotation. Mr. CLYMER, reading from the speech of Mr, -Landon in the Rccoid." 41 God has made certain men with their faces a little darker than mine ; but if they arc capable of enjoying freedom; liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is your duly to give it to them ; and woe to the govercmcnt, sooner or later, that refuses to do it, and throws itself athwart their pathway of progress. I am no infidel ; but if wc, as a nation, can hold up and perpetuate slavery ,agc after ago, sanction it legally and christen it ecclesiastically, and at the same timo prosper ourselves, .bo free, happy and great, escaping all the consequences divinely threatened against injustice and oppression " Mr. LANDON. That is correct. Mr. CLYMER, reading further "then this, if anything, would constrain ma, not only to question the bible, but to doubt the very existence of tho Deity himself." Mr. LANDON. I endorse that. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE THAT GEORGE LANDON IS A DISUNIONIST. Wo quote from a debate in the Senate March 11th, 1802. Mr. CLYMER. Mr. Speaker, the Senator from Bradford asserts that "this question of slavery meets us everywhere, it meets us here, at home, and on the stern and bloody battle field," and ex. claims in excited and angry terms iive must meet it." But how? "Ncccssaiily in one of three ways," says the Senator. "First we can submit to bo ruled and ruined by it. Second we can continue as tee havs been doing fight the rebellion tvi'.h one handjtnd hold up slavery with the other , until both par tits are exhausted then settle our difficulty by allowing or by compelling the sccedtig States to fall bade into the Union with slavery, slave rcpte. scntatin and all its concomitants as afore time. I have feared," says tho Senator from Bradford, uthcrc were too many men, in high places who desire this ?nodc of set- tlcmcnt." But the Senator asserts "this would be a false and fallacious euro for existing ills. Let no one delude himself and others, by pointing to this as the pathway from the wilderness to tho prom ised land. It ncver should, it never can, it never will be done" .Micro you nave it, sirl iiiere is no i mistaking the position of the Senator from Bradford, and his followers. lie and they will never, no, never I consent that this constitution shall be inaintalucd as it is, and tho Union restored as it was. Oh, no, sir I lie and they assert, "it never ' 6hould.it never can.it never will be done."
