What Uwe you 7 mad ! SPEECH OF HON. Wit. ALLEN before die Dimessrati iot rillai Mkt. VP AMOS. My fellow citizens of Pennsylvania, I have no anecdotes to tell yrie—nn wit to display—nothing to excite your merriment or elicit anything else than your serious sod solemn attention The matter involved in the pending contest is of a value too great, and the aspect which that contest lass already pot on is too serious and solemn for us to spend an occasion like this, in any other manner than in a pledge of our mutual aid to each other, in a great effort to save the Constitu tion of our Country. , Applause.) For the first time in the history of the Re public, an organised effort has been made to em bitter the feelings, esinte the jealousy, and array the passions of one half the Republic against the other For the first time an organized effort is made to make use of the power of the Free States to drive cut of the Union the whole body of the Southern States; to drive them out by compelling them to retire in order to enjoy that right of domestic and local legislation for which our fathers wrenched these thirteen old colonies from the crown of Great Britain (Applause ) In this very city, almost within the sound of my voice, was put forward the Declaration of Lode pendenee, to justify the insurgent spirit of the people in the eyes awl in the reason of mankind, for what they were about; and the great reason given was that a foreign power made laws for us contrary to our interests—contrary to our will (Applause.) Before one century has expired, we find a party rising in the United States, at the very first Presidential election after the Free States have a majority in the confederacy, and calling upon sixteen to band themselves against fifteen, because sixteen are more than fifteen, for the purpose of depriving those fifteen of all the benefits of the American Revolution—local legis. lation That is the character of this contest Now I know very well that these men say " We only pr pose to limit the rights of the people on the subject of slavery, and within the Territories " Is that all you propose ? Is that the cud of all this clamor by which you disturb the harmony and affrignt the sections of this Union ? is it to limit the area of slavery in the Territories Is it to prevent a new State from coming into the Union, when you yourself know that if she is rejected toolay because she has slavery in her Constitution, she may take slaves out ttemorrow, come in the third day, and put slaves back the fourth ( .Ipplatiee.) =I -Are :hey serious then, wbeu tbty tell us that this is all they mean by abolition, that this is all they mean when they undertake to array one half of this people against the other, and to precipitate them together in fierce quarrel first, and afterwards in bloody struggle—all In order to keep one State out of the i forty eight hours, and then let her come in with negroes Is that what they mean? Suppu. Kansas come , with a slave Constitution to the door of Congress toinutrow? Congress says, you have g negroes there—take them out Kansas steps behind the door, takes out the utgroes, offers her Constitu tion, and she is admitted The next day a Cot vention is called in Kansas, the Constitution 1 , altered, and the negrd stuck hack. (Laughter These tneu preteud that all they arc contending for, is ju't the privilege of wak;ng this new Stet.. :let the hypocrite for about six montL, (Applause , But they cry out to the old farms rs o f th. country whose sous arc going northwest and South west, that we , t 1 te part, by our pulley, are limiting tb, qualitit) I iau 1 wi.1:14 ,) 1,, cupied h, tu , t.tig Prow rii.

If 1 had been a Senator from South Carolina, bitlisiaua, or any Southern State of the Union, wheu the proposittou to re peal the Aissuuri Compromise was preseuted, and I had been luilueuctd b, pro-slavery con siderations aluue, I should have said "nu, let it , itand " My logic leads we to quite an opposite conclusiou trom that of many gentlemen on this point; and I will tell you my reason. Every human instals/awl, to endure, must have this basis:—utility In the common phraseology of the day, it must pay The institution of slavery stands like every other human institution, upon the sole principle of its utility, ur in other words, its profit The question of _profit is determined not as the wise creatures who call themselves legislators, suppose, by acts of legi,lation, but by climate nod soil When the wise meu who inserted the Missouri Compromise in the statute book found that the public mind was then, very much like it is uow, exasperated to a tury upon the slavery question, they quietly got together lo the night, entered skin a et ipulat ion as politiciaus, not as legislators, but as men who meant to quiet the country, and they put the political arrangement of a few politicians in the ,shape of a law, and called it lii Missouri Compromise. They knew when thiy put it there that, it had nu obligation of law, They stamped upon Its brow the death warrant of the very article they were incorporating into a law, for it purported to be eternal, whereas, every law in the statute book can be repealed the next diy after its tuactuieni, if the people's re presentatives choose to repeal it They knew they were legislating outside of the Constitution, but they thought they were dung a thing that would be harmless in its character, and they aid it for the purpose of quieting the public agitation of the moment. What did they mean by it'— Just about this was their conversation in the clo set at night, when the great and wise men of that period debated the matter:—Mr Clay would say to N• , ri heron gentlemen, "you know all experience shows that slavery on this continent, on account of the fierce climate that atteude the N ,rthweatern coast, c.tooot be profiusuie oeyond 36 deg 40 w i n worth latitude, and because it catmint he pru6table, it will never go there, weltier there be a law to aid or to retard its march " As the declaration of this fact, they proposed to limit slater) where the climate limited it, and they barely, - 4 mbodieci in the form of a legislative protisi ,o, a recognition of a law of nature.— Whetto.r that enactment stand or fall, m a k es no t th e lest odds from the beginning to the end, with regard to the extension or 000 traction of slavery If slavery were found profitable up to that it was known it would go there. If it were nut found profitable nearer than five degrees below that line, it would stop there. I come now to the point which I particularly urge in this c..nvention, and to whieh I especially call the attention of my fellow-citisetui of the free States. 1 nave already sail that slavery is kept or rejected as an institution, according to its p r ofi ta bl e ness or unprofitableuess; and the ques tion of profit ie determ►ued by soil mid climate There is a natural barrier beyond which it cannot so, whether there be soy law on the ,abject or Doc Not so with the spread of free population.

Oar fathers, prompted by a de sire to make their own laws in their own loath ties, united to cut loose their former sanneetion with the British Clown. When they sumeeded to that great effort and formed our Constitutiou, they preserved in it the organization of the Stave Governments for. the express purpose of making it unnecessary fur the Federal Government to interfere in the domestic relations between parent and child, husband and wife, muter and servant, to regulate the manner in which real estate should p4as, the manner in which, the es tate of a dcceask•ii man should go down to hie poatenty. When they preserved the State or_ ganizatioas for these views, they reserved to the States the right to regulate the teal labor in whatever form it might be, whether performed by a black man or a white mea t or no mu at all. (Laughter.) At least, say what yon wil lie regard to 'slavery, it w oily one of the relations between man mid OAS —as aniarcpy one, as aa fortunate one. It is, however, nothing bat.a iou: so there is a relation between master end apprentice, contractor and contractee, husband and wile, parent and child. All these mesquilly personal relations, the sobjeaseer of the ms• alai organization, and coming, therefore, prop•riy within the cognizance of the load legisistare.. It was in order to give each State, by its Moral legislature, entire jurisdiction of all these Ma jects, that the Constitution of the Milted Stale preserved the Suite governments. The gram object of our Revolutima was sot to work a social change. There wow inqub7 *ma as to whelks or our emetry Mond be ant up into republic's or amenisiliss. When we eat Mess from she Ilittiah, maws we did sot ask Slag George and UM &Wei Parliament whether we should have a nobility or ore menareby, or not. That was lot thisspiewiliss. Our fathers serer debated that qnselioa among themselves, bees,es there wu prelimieary point to be seeded, which was that of independence, b which they would have this that, or the other, form of local goverainent.— The first object was to get loose from England. Why? Bemuse whilst that oonnactiois hated a foreign power legislated for us. When therefore the Constitution wan shoat to be formed, the fathers of the Republic saw the nemesis, of guarding this great principle of local legislation opium the absorbing Maumee of centralisation, by keeping up broadly and distinctly the bound aries of State jurisdiction; and hence they would mot allow the Federal governmeet to put its tin ger upon any one of that large class of doinesue qesettoes which mission of and peculiary belong to the local social organisation. If they had at lowed it, what sheeld we Imes gained by the rawhide*? If our eras; friends who are talking about one Mr. Fremont (laughter) should, by possibility reused, what will our Southern friends have gained by the Ameriem revolution?' They will have gained just this—before the revolution Old England made laws for Virginia; now, New Vuglond is to make laws for Virginia (Great epptause.) But, gentlemen, let old Pennsylva nia raise her mighty arm, and in -this c, ntest bear in the palm of her hand her own illustrious and worthy son, James Buchanan, (enthusiastic aware for "Old Buck") and the success of the LftleriOLO people in this great effort to perpetu ate their government will be complete. Let me dwell on this idea for a moment. Our Abolition friends pretend that they are very moral; they love God and justice so much better than the people of the South; that, ►l. though negroes do not interfere with them, they cannot rest in their beds at night while there is a slave. (Laughter) They become fretful and feverish; their hearts reproach them with the sin of remaining in connection with the Southern States, so long as they have soy negroes. I beg you to bear in mind how easy it is for you to stand on one side of a river and make a system of morals for the people on the other side, pro. vided it does not apply to you. But when a man is called upon to make a system of morals under which he himself is to live, he will be a particular about it. If he is to bear the burden as well as the blessing, he will very quickly com teepee to balance .the burden A gentleman's logic is a very hasty aid to his morals in all his reasonings, when be is laying down systems of logic for the bedefit of his neighbors and tiGt of himself. Let me put the case as truth requires It, and then let .tne get up a system of morale, and see who will be the first to flinch from it, throwing out, for the sake of the argument, the idea of local legislation as having nothing to do with it. [low came the Degrees in the South? The present inhabitants of the South, against whew the wild fanatics are trying to inflame the feel. Inge of the Northern people. are no more response. ble for the existence of slavery there than we are. They were born long - after slavery had been introduced. If you ask toe whether they may not abolish slavery, I say it Is impossible until; that state of things shall have arriv ed there which has already arrived in the East Wherever the advance of fla i ls white pop alation,in density and in•space, shall have gone VI .11111411 •114. • e.enusa iii ii tn the. siss, ceases, to be profitable, the slaves will begin to be removed from the South, as they were from the Eget. Then, in all probability, they will be removed by a gradual process, requiring them to pats around the Gulf of Mexico, through Texas LB a gate, landing finally in Central America as their uluirtate home, separated forever from the white race That will, I think, probably be the course of events, the final destiny of the African race upon this continent; and that process will begin and end so gradually as to be imperoepti. ble until it is far on towards its final accomplish• intent. The slaves will recede from the South in the same manner as they receded from the North, when they cease to be profitable, with this dif ferenee : I do not think our Southern friends will be quite so ready to get rid of them by bar gais and sale, as our Yankee friends werd (Laughter and cheering.) New England got rid of her negroes, not by gradual emancipation, forded on her by an imperative necessity„as will be the ease in the South when emancipation shall take place will h. ao rosirtetilm Southern man to sell his negroes; but they will pass in the manner I have described, performing one of those great phases in the march of the lin: man race aropnd the surface of the globe, which we can trace as having an organic beginning, au organic middle, and an organic end. Our Sew England brethren, however, as long as they could make anything out of slave labor, kept it. When it ceased to be profitable, what did they do ? As they amid no longer make any money out of the labor of the negro, they made it out of his blood and bones, by taking him South and selling him. If that is not true, where are the desesadanta of their freed negroes ? If they emancipated all the slaves they bad and did not sell them, what has become of their posterity ? Freedom dose not unusually emasculate men.— Where are the free descendants of the freed ne groes that our Yankee friends set free ? They did sot est them free, but sent them South, end eontinued to import them. They insisted onrthe Federal Convention which framed the Constitu tion, that they should have until 1800 to import them. They had Dome old vessels, not worn out in the African slave trade, which would not be used up before 1800, and they caused a clause to be inserted in the Constitution covering the entire profits that could be made out of the un- Crion of the Afrioaa nos. Now, when they et rid of their negroes by increasing the solemnise of the South—for slavery is toques. tionably a calamity wherever it eziate—and ren dering it more impossible for the South to get rid of this evil, they seem to have laid in wait mail they got a majority of one State in the Coofederaey, and then whispered among them. selves "sow we have them ; let us elect a Prea dult of the free States." The very idea is the entering wedge, to a dissolution of the Ucion.— The very fait that a man is running for the Presidency in the free States alone ,, who has no ticket in the Southern States, is an initiation in the work of dissolution. Why does he run in that way 1 He undertakes to ask the American people to make him President. Under the Con stitution the people of the Swirl have a right to Toole for President; but they an called upon to stand by quietly and see a Man put in possession of their power, who claims that possession with so avowed intention d sing that power to their prejudice. Yet persons Wife the madness to is; that 411.14110611111111 will stand all this ? Will they? Renews the sps ; suppose the Sines States should say--nod they could say ii with more propriety, logic, and truth—"gentlemen of the ores States, nothing but an air line divides us in many plume; rivers short and fordable in others; the proximity of this line of free States is preju disial to us, bemire they Mimi an inducement to ear slime to escape." The argument is true. Suppose dm slave &saes should band together •argsg thiswonseet, and should insist on the bus adopting slavery, sad they should run a meadow phofted to nee the federal power wish winner is to nurse the free %ties to become slave, would you sot consider it the ex tremity of human wrogg and ittunno Orroigtar And yet it would be but menial' an casa b as coodition of things. 4- s have said that the present population of the South are not responsible for the existence of slavery. The immediate ancestors of the present race of Southern people are not responsible .for it, far they found it there under the old colonial system ; bat the ancestors, and seen some of the living men at the North, at the present day, are responsible, because they brought the negroes from Atm*, and sold them Now, let us equal= tie the matter At the adoption of the Consti tution, twelve of the thirteen States were slave: holding. All of them except those on the South ern reaboard emancipated their slaves, or rather sold them, and said that no more slaves should exist there As they now insist that the ne groes' descendants shall be free, let the South agree to it, and square the account between them according' to justice and humanity. Let the South say they will set thp negroes free at half price ; suppose they are to be worth $5OO apieoe, let them be willing to take $250 Then let the son of the man who received $l,OOO for them, pay the purchase money, up to this day, into a common fund to buy out the negroes, and make a joint.operation of sending them to Ifiberia.— If our northern friends would only oome up with their bags of dollars, which they received by the original sale of the negroes, with the interest to this day, and plank them down in behalf of hu man rights, and then say to the South, "Now, plank up your'negroes ; ' then we'd see some thing like equality and morality in the proposi tion • ( A pplause. ) I oboe knew an old gambler, who quit the trade after having made money out of it. He then went about lecturing against gambling, and every body, said he was right. Finally, be got to lecturing about religion. This touched a min ister in the neighborhood who did not like to hear a gambler talk about religion until he had given some evidence or pledge of reformation.— fie said to him, "My fried, I agree to all that you have said about the gamblers • they are an awful set, and ought to be punish ed : but have you paid back all the money you won?" (Laugh ter and applause.) "Oh, no :" Was the response. On-this matter I hire no prejudice. lam a native of a slaveholding State. I live in a free State. My children are in the free States, to partake of their fate; but I am an American.— From my infancy, when I have glanced my eye over the ample map of my country, and sur: veyed its wide extended plains, reaching as they now do from ocean to ocean, and from the Lake of the Woods to the Gulf of Mexico, I have felt proud that I was something more than a citizen of the single State of Ohio, (applause.) I have felt proud that I could travel a thousand miles from my home at any point of the compass, and still stand on land, where I could fold my arms, and say—here I sin a citizen: I rejoice in the splendor and prosperity of Philadelphia, my heart is glsdened at the exhibition of her wealth, her intelligence,, her power, the comfort of her people, and the general happiness of the great' community, as much as if I wore member of it. (Applause ) When traversing the mountains of Penallylva, nia, I saw that your penetrating intellect and tremendous energy had brought down the Alle ghenies to your feet; and where the rock was too stubborn you have penetrated it, and passed steam through the bowels of the earth. When I see all this, L feel as proud of it as though it were a scene spread out in my own native State (Applause.) I feel proud of it, because I can say to myself—this is one of the parts of the great Republic of which I sin a citizen. My friends, even the oldest of you, will hive mournful days to pass through, if this Union be dissolved I have told you that like the marriage contract, it cannot be kept together by fome.— It can be maintained only by a sense of justice and right, and a mutuality of interest. The sense of right is stronger in the human mind ; but here we have a mutuality of interest which is even stronger than the sense of right, and it binds North and South together as one undivided whole. Look at the railroads which are hourly oon: fleeting you with the Southern borders. 'lf the Union should be dissolved, what will become of the immense mass of property in railroads ' what will become of the ten thousand mechanic shops where now so many million dollars worth of goods are annually manufactured for sale to the people of the South? What will become of the large amount of money that is earned by the North lu th« ;mule rineratious from the Southern seaports to En; f an t r a sit back the products of the South ? What will become of the or-yoke makers Of Boston : Nearly all the agricultaaal implements of my States are made in Boston, and so it is in the State south and south-west of me. In the streets of Chilli. cotbe, you will see the Boston stamp on the rough common articles made of wood; because in Boston, they have the machinery sod instru mentalities for making them cheaper than we can. But in the event of a diesels / don, where would all this pro6t be? I desire to call attention to a few other points of the question. Get the map and put your fin ger on the great navigable rivers that run from the vast interior, rise in the Lake of the Woods and stretch between the Allegheny and the Rocky Mountains, look at the point at which they enter the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Every one of them, without exception, is within the jurisdiction of slaveholding States. Pittsburg herself, with all her Aboli tionists, would find her navigation stopped at the month of the Ohio, by a large barrier of intervening slave States. The Ohio, the Mississippi, the Missouri, wito their vast tributaries, 40,000 miles of navigable water, traversing the richest plain on earth, populated by the mast energetic and enlightened portion of the human race, en. ter the Atlantic and the Gulf within thelurie. diction of the slave States. Both the great rir era of Pennsylvania, the Deleware and Basque- harms, find their outlets to the ocean through slaveholding States. In what a condition should ' we be in ease of a dissolution, with the slave States in possession of the mouths of our rivers from the Potomac down to the Rio Grande.— ' This is no small item. These rivers drain the vast Northwest—the greatest grain growing and meat growing region in the world. They bear upon their ample bosom the iron wrought into shape iu the furnaces of Pennsylvania. We have, therefore, quite an interest in this matter I have already spoken of tee repeal of the Mis souri Compromise, as enlarging the area for free emigration. Climate, as I have said, interposes in some cases an impassable barrier to slavery.— Let me explain to you, as I am a farmer, some thing in regard to the value of slave lobor. I am farmer, though known to you only as a politi cian. I will explain to you why slave labor is not so profitable as free labor, except under pe , culler circumstances. Suppose a Kentuckian on his aide of the Ohio river has 100 acres of lead, j and I have 100 sores on my side. We each propose to put 100 acres io eon next spring; we know that it will take four field hands to do the work in four menthe. I can hire the hands for 'that time, bat he mast keep a large family of blacks—old men, aid women, and pug ism, and eisildren—sad feed them all the year. Oa this eeeenat, it is only in the extreme Ileatiers latitudes where, owing to the atones of winter they eau earry on out door work all the year, sad Morons can be paying !be their bread and B. F. SLOAN, EDITOR. NUMBER 22. meat, that slavery is profitable. The peculiar culture et the soil there is also favorable. The sugar eau requires eleven months labor oat of twelve. This is in a humid climate, ander a hot sun—deleterious to the existence of the white man, but dot prejudicial to the bleak. Ulu such circumstances, slave labor is profitable but it is not so in the N,rth, where we have snow cm the earth, sad the earth frown to grog. ire, for five or six months in the year In sash a country, with a miscellaneous crop, slavery would sot only be a curse morally, but it ,wquld be destructive of the interests of the people.— Why is not Ohio a slave State Why is sot Illinois ? Why is not all the North Western Territory Because they are too far North for Slavery to be profitable there On the coast of the Pacific, you find that the same reason ope. rates to• carry the white population 250 Miles South of the Missouri line, in the new State of California; of which my friend Bigler has bees Governor. [Three cheers for Governor John Bigler were here gives.] In the Caldontia Con stitutional Convention, tot one man voted to make it a sieve State. Why ? Because the peo ple saw, from the character of the country and the nature of the employment :n which men most engage, that olive labor would not be profitable. I can inform you that all the law* Texas cast make, all the laws Coogress can make, all the laws the human mind can devise, cannot make a slave State out of Western Texas It is a gra zing country It cannot be rendered profitable for slave labor ; and slavery will never go is say place where it is not profitable I may mention a fact which is a powerful ii lastration in this discussion. In the Stater of Kentucky, a great part of which lies north of the line of 36 deg 30 min , and in Western Virgin ia, as the late Governor of the Old Dominion , Hon. Wm Smith,) and the gentleman from Richmond, (Mr Robert G. Scott,) can testify, 15 or 20 years ago, there was a great slavertkag itation. lii Maryland, it was common for dffng men to bequeath freedom to their slaves. A most eminent citizen of that State told me that the example was becomiug so c .raagious that in a few years Maryland would be a free State, but it was delayed because the people did not want to leave the negrues helpless, and unable to bear the expense of finding a home Now, all this is clanged. Instead of emancipation eing spokes of in the Southern States, it is the reverse.— WL) ? Because you would uut let the natural feelings of men take their course ; because a por. tion of the people of the North commenced inter meddling in a matter foreign to their jurisdiction, and beyond the orbit of their righttul powers.— As soon as this was commenced, an unfortunate tarn was taken in the public mind at the South. They would not permit other people to control them, to do that which they were willing to do if let alone The effectof this principle of 000r eionton the American mind may be illustrated by a striking exhibition which every neighborhood in this country will appreciate. You have Isere no national religion In Europe, the Church in some form or shape, is in partnership with the government, sustains its authority, and gets the benefit of its support. Large taxes are there lev ied on the people to keep up the churches; and priests and preachers of all descriptions are paid out of the public funds Aocording to j wronrreasonini, founded upon no knowledge of 'human nature, a man would say that in the Ifni. tei States, where the law compelled no man to pays cent to any church or preacher, there would be none; but instead of that being the state of things, we have in the 'United States mot* churches, more ministers, and a better paid cler gy than any people on thi. earth Every dollar out of the immense CI (1111 tirr of millions annually expended to sustaiu this great system is contribu. red freely, without the compulsion of law, from the good will, the religious feeling, and sense of right found in the American character So in regard to the uegr es, if the S ,uttrern people had been let alone they would have aided time and circumstances in facilitating emancipation, and putting the emancipated negroes in a condition of ease and oomfort. Ad this would have been die toted by the kind fedings which rise up between the master and slave, and especially between the master and the slaves of a domestu household.— I have been in Slave States ; I bate been a long time in the District of Columbia, and I. know there is something more than law which binds the negro to his waster in the South The negro recognises his master or his protector against all trouble and all danger He recognizes his taas• ter as the fit, permanent and sure source of live lihood throughout the entire year No solicitude misfortune to work without having the price of his labor counted out in coin, he has the gratifi cation of knowing that he is never in danger of wanting bread and meat (Applause.) Strong and powerful attachments spring up in this way; and those are greatly mistaken who suppose that if there were a dissolution of the Union the North would have nothing to do but call on the negroes to rise and put down their muters.— Not one in 500 would rise against the masters Some of the strongest defenders of the domestic households of the South would be their domestic servants. There is a feeling of attachment be tween master and stove little dreamt of in the Free States, because the Abolitionists have con tinually represented this relation as that of tyrant and oppressed. I told you this much in regard to the institu tion of slavery, from my own knowledge of its workings—not that I would recommend it to yoa. If slavery were proposed in my State to-morrow, I would oppose it to the bitter end, on the soun dest political and philosophic reasons. The peo ple of Kentucky would probably get rill of slave ry if they knew what to do with the slaves ; but to abolish slavery in the South, is to tear up root and branch the whole social organization of their communities. Can any good be accomplished by exasperating the Southern people and making them our ene mies, as though they were a hostile nation in stead of "bone of our bone" and "flesh of our flesh 7" Instead of encouraging the purchasers of the products of our labor in the South, there is an effort to destroy our beautiful cities, to bankrupt oar industrious people, by interdicting all commerce with fifteen of the American States, forcing them to hate us, and to form alliances, we with Great Britain and they with France against each other I stand for the old partnership of the Revolution. (Applause.) I stand for the union of the States—all the States, and all the people of all the Suites. If it were my right to address a prayer to God on this subject, it would be a prars for every State, and every man in every 841 e. (Applinee.) I say you will injure yourselves wore than you will injure the Smith by a dissolution ; but I will not compere the ez• tent of calamity that would befall tbet easing in the event of that terrible catastrophe.
