After the yeadlittor the petition, the assembly

of exeitement, of anger, and of indignation were
kindling against him. The slightest manifesto.

have e'posed Mr. Mendenhall to great personal
danger. But, Mr. bitty roue; with perfect calm.
nossand composure; and first addressed the mul

hoped that Mr. M. might bo treated with the
greatest forbearance and respect. Ho' assured

imitation of tho petition had not occasioned him

thought be could give it such an answer as became

This appearing to compose the astiCinbly— Mr.
Clay bowed to Mr. Mendunkall„and addressing
.._ . . .
him, Haid:--: " .
k
rI Will now , sir; makcto you and to this pet,.
tion, such a response as becomes me. Allow me
to say
.that think you haveliot conformed to the
indepcnden character of an American chile'', in
presenting a petition to int. lam like yourself,
.
but a private citizen. A petition, as the twin hp
'plies. generally proceeclS front liiiiiiVriM. in pow
or,'irto,,tion,..ta-Ax,uperior, but between us, there
-is-en tirely-qua I ity,---Aint- what .are - the - drum:.
'stances under which you have chosen to offer it?
I im a total stranget, passing through your State,.
on my way to its capital, in consequence of an in
vitation with which I have been honored, to visit
it,to exchange friendly salutations with such of
my foilutv.eiiizens of Indiana as think proper to
rneetme, and to accept of their hospitality. An.
_ :ions as I am to see them, and to view parts of
this State that I had never seen, I came here with
:_hesitation and reluctance, because I apprehended
that ths motives of nay journey- :might be mis
conceived and perverted. But when the fulfil.
ment of an old promise to visit Indianapolis, was
insisted upon, I yielded to the solicitations of
friends, auil•have presented myself among you:
Such is the'occasion which has been deliberatt
ly selected for tendering this pkition to me. I am
advanced in years, and neither myself' nor the
place of my residence is .altogether unknown to
the world. You might, at any time within these
last 25 or 30 years; have presented your petition
to me at. Ashland. If you had gone there fur
that purpose, you shOuld have been received and
treated with perfect respect and liberal hospitality.
Now, Mr. Mendenhall, let us reverse condi
tions; and suppose that you hid been invited to
Kentucky to. partake of its hospitality; and tlvit
previous to your arrival, I had employed such
means as I- understand have been used to get up
this petition, to Obtain the signature; of citizens
°taint State to a petition, to present to you, to
rellnquish 7 your 'farm or other property, w hat • I
would you have thought of such a proceedine—
Would you have deemed it courteous and aecord.•
ing to the rights of hospitality/
I know well.that you, and those who think with
.you, controvert the legitimacy of slavery, and
• deny thre•right of property in slaves. But the . law
of my State and other States has otherwise or
dained. Thilaw • may be wrong, in your opin.
lon,and oughtto_berepealed; but, then,_you and
your associates aro not the law makers for us,
and unless you can show some authority to !Edify
our Maio, we must continue to respect them. Un
til the law is repealed, wo must be excused fur as.
serting4lte rights—aye, the Property in slaves—
wide!) it. sanctions, authories, and vindicates:
And who are the petitioners • whose orga,n you
assume to be? I have no doubt that many of'
them aro
,worthy„, amiable and humane persons,
who by' erroneous representations,. have been-in—
duced inconSiderately to affix their signatures to
this petition, and that they
.will deeply regretit.
*Otherit, and not a few, I" am told, are free 'blacks,
men; IVOMCI) and children, who have been artfully
deceived and imposed upon. A very largo pair
• thin, I have been credibly inflarined, are the poli-
eical opponents of tho party to which I belong
- Detnocrat., as they, most undeservedly null them
'aelirel, who hive eagerly 'Elizad this opportunity
to Round; as they iinakined, my feeling., and to
aid tho.oauso to which they aro attached. In
other quarters of the Union, Democrats claim to
be exclusive champions of Southern interests,the
only defenders of the rights in slave property, nd
unjustly accuse us Whims with abolition designs,
Wholly incompatible with its security. What
ought Abase distant Democrats to think of the
cottrse.of their friends here who have united in.

Without any. knowledge of the relation in'

half a dozen of theinJrom age, decrepitedn or

for themselves, and are a heavy charge upon Me.

Excuse me, Mr. Mendenhall, for saying that my
slaves are as well 'fed and clad, look as sleek nod
hearty, and arc quite as civil and respectful in
their demeanor, and as-little disposed to wound
the-feelings of any one as you are.
• [Great-nnd continued laughter nod, applause.)
Let me recommend you, sir,,) imitate the be
nevolent example of the society of ft ienck in the
midst of which you reside: Meek, gentle, imbued
with the gerAume spirit of our benign religion,
whilst in principle they are firmly opmscd In sla.
very, they do not seek to necimmlish its extinc

gross calumny. Their ways do not lead thiough
blond, revolution and disunion. Thar brood and
comprehensive philanthrophy embraces, as they
believe,
the gond and.the happiness of the white
as.v.:ellas the !tick race; giving to the one their
cominisseration, to the'ether their kindest syin.
plithy. Their instruments are not those of de
traction nnd of war, but of pence, persuaskon, and
curliest nopeals•to, the charities of the human
heart. Unninhitions, they, have -no political ob.
jests or purpogei to subserve. My intercourse
with them throughout life has been considerable,
interesting and agreeable; and:l venture to say
nothing could have induced them as a 'society,
whatever a few individuals might have been temp
ted to do, to seize the oecasian of my casual nne
sage throngh this State, to offis me a personal in.
- -(This part of Mc. flap "speeeh' was listened to
with deep and' absorbing 'attention, and was fol
lowed by lo • d bursts of applause.)
I respect the 'Motives of rational abolitionists,
who are actuated by a sentiment of devotion to
human liberty, although, I deplore nod deprecate
the consequences of the agitation of the question.
I have even 'natty friends among them. But they
are not mono-maniacs, who, surrendering them.
selves to a single idea, look altogether to the Week
'side of human life, They do not believe that the
sum total of our efforts and all .our solicitude
should be 'abolition. They believe that there ore
duties to perform towards . th e white man as well
as the black. They wanCgood governmental:rod
administration, arid tho general prosperity of their
country.
I shall, Mr. Mendenhall; take your petition in.
to respectful and deliberate consideration; 'but
before I come to a final docirdon, I•should like to
know what you and yoor.assoeiates are willing to
do for the slave's in 'my possession, if I should
think proper to liberate them. I own about fifty,
who are probably worth fifteen thousand do'lars.
