[ruaczou sn~ -;- Ki~.~csr. Fsztow-Crriameen—Before I knew the use of money, my mother taught me the meaning of ..B i rduribus Unum." Before my intent under standing could comprehend the nature of Govern ment, I learned to repeat "United we stand, divi ded we and to sing with my summer school mates; the childish ditty— " Firm united let us be, Rallyisqv mond oar liberty." ..The Un;sol It is a concord of "sweet sounds, that give delight and hurt not." The Union! Its sound Mit the thought of marriage to the virtu ous,Wheriihtienma which have beat in the harmony of Youthful'ailliction, repose in the quiet of conju •,-gal ~.. Our young fancies were taught to think of tittiorr of Braras as the magic circle which lurk 'World's last hope of Freedom:—like the shining Wreath of promise, brightest amid clouds, on Whielkehildren and matron's gaze "At tYnauner Hie, when Heavens Aerial bow, Spans with bright arch the glittering bills below." Yes, Fellow-Uitizens: The Union is the rain ow'b of Hope to this nation. And when clouds for a moment obscure the twenty-six stars that clus ter in the American constellation, her soft colors, made mom brilliant, and her limits more clearly defined by the darkness of •the hour, shall dispel the gloom of the Patriot, and convert despair into hope. I rejoice, Gentlemen,that; according to my poor ability, I am permitted to Speak its praises; but above all, that, while I do it, I am permitted to stand IWO••••413111.1S, on the very Key-Stone of the .tacu whose beauties we admire! Aye, here in Pennsylvania, on the tomb 'ofFRANKLIN and of FLNII.in the niidid of institutions which were moul ded by their hinds, and bequeathed to you their descendants. I go further, even beyond my eloquent antago nists—l say, tot the hand be withered that shall tear this Union, palsied the tongue which blasts it, perish the ruthless one who, through wanton ness or folly, shall attempt its annihilation! Now, • Gentlemen, let me turn abruptly upon you. and solemnly ask, who threaten the Unton? Who have threatened it almost daily since its first existence? Were these treasonable rumors brought to your ears on the North-east wind! Were they front the green.hills of New-England, the so-called home of Abolition? No! Gentlemen. These threats of treason have uniformly come from a warmer climate, a more southern latitude! What is the import of these threats! Suppose the Abolitionists as wiChed as tho friends of Slava ry represent them, what is the language of those • who declare they will secodel Why, simply and flatly thir “If the Abolitionists continue to speak and write, end turn the public opinion to hatred of Slavery, we will destroy the rTnion," i. e. by the . decision of-President Jackson / ticommit treason!" And mug we deliberate on the most grave subject sour country's history furnishes, under a threat, that if we decide contrary to the wishes of South ern men. they will commit treason against the Gov.: emment! The demand is insolent and impious! But if the Abolitionists are only exercising there Constitutional rights in a legal and Constitutional way, the arrogance and insult of this Southern de mand is Pan the reach of language to described— It is as if Men, despising the Criminal Courts, ;mons, mut gibbets of the country, should coolly teltsontiof their fellowscitizensi If you do what the Constitution and Lameallow you to do, we will conurdt murder, rob, or steal. • And let me,however, relnctantly,say this threat of dissolution of the Union comes with a peculiarly I iU gnice from the Sotrh. Who pays fur carrying the mails to the doors ofour Southern Gentlemen and Dictators? The business and enterprise of the North. The Southern mails have always been a tax on the unexpended balance in the Treasury Department. Nine tenths or more of the revenue which supports Government, comes from Northern parts. If the South were a sepa rate Government, their civil and onerous military establishments mutt be supported by taxes direct and galling to the people, "wnich we nor our fathers could bear:" and yet we are told, at every turn, "do as we bid you, or we will secede! We will shatter the Union." We must pay for our own and_ their mails; support the Common Govern ment, and cower, on all occasions, like their own crippled and dishumanized Slaves, or they will leave twin the enjoyment ofour wealth and quiet! Nor does this threat of treason appear in any better light, when they affirm that we war on their characters by calling them "Tyrants," eman-hol dere," -•flesh-merchants" and the like. Is vilifi cation and abuse a justification for threatened trea son? If so, who does not know that the South,' by her members of Congress, has exhausted lan guage of its odious epithets, carefully culled, selec ted, and heaped on tho Free Labor States! Most men would prefer being called a tyrant,sooaer than a mean-spirited Slave and a fooL Yet from the Convention in which the Constitution was settled unto the present time, expressions of contempt have been tie every-day phrases used at the South concerning every man that labors at the North.— Even in that Convention, one of their debators declared that they mull early time, purchase Northern compliance for a hogshead of tobacco!" Are these the men to stand crs niceties of expres. sion, and require the punctilios of etiquette, when we speak of them? Above all, are they to justify their threatened treason by a declaration that we imitate their example in using harsh and ellen. sive language? We feel,—feel keenly, too, when our birth spot is abused and vilified. It is true, our hills are rugged, and the North wind chills them like a dead lover's kiss. Brit the air ie transparent, and the waters are pure. So, praised be God, is our patrotism: far tob pure to admit of the ruffian doc trine of Nullification, Lyneh Committee and trea son-remedy for all ills of State! But let me hasten from these painful topics of necessary recrimination, to the argument in this car* which, for convenience, I shall arrange un der seven distinct heads. I. Slavery, if Id alone, will dissolve the Union. Few, with whom I have conversed, have even doubted this, even of those who are wont to accuse the Abolitionists of Union-breaking. Southern men have all along been acting upon the suppo sition, that if slavery stood, the South must be ruined, and the Union must aIL Multitudes have made investments in lands in the Free Western States, to which they mean, shortly, to retreat...— Multitudes have gone already, and the declaration of G. W. P. CUSTIS is literally and strictly true: even the Wolf, driven back long since by the ap proach of man; now returns to howl over the des olations of slavery."! But we should know, without these facts, that slavery will dissolve the Union by the sac xxxxx of the slaves alone. This is two and :: half to one freeman. Already the slaves number two and a half millions, with an annual increase of seventy jive thousand! God has so constructed nature that her laws punish their own violation. The toil of the slave leaves the Free population idle, and idleness makes any people vicious, and leaves them weak. The offspring of slave-mothers, al ways being slaves, almost all the children raised will be slave children. The terrors of the free people will increase with the number the slaves, and fear will make them crueL The chains of the slave will be drawn tighter, by the anxiety of the masters to keep bim down; at the same time, they are strained to bursting by the bulk of slavery growing larger. Thus, the slaves will be kept more ignorant and treated more cruelly as they grow more numerous, and every blow upon his back renders him more desperate and more dan gerous, by hardening his muscle and steeling his heart. ••The end of these things is not yet," but draweth nigh. even at the doors!" Where, then, will be the Union? When the worn-out threat of breaking it? Gentlemen tell you, that the Abolitionists are alienating the South from the North. Impudent assertion! Slavery has long since alienated the South from the North, if indeed we were ever ' blest with their gracious and condescending re gard. Have not the honest laborers of Pennsyl vania long enough been the song of their drunk ants, and the reproach of their fools! Their by word, to points proverb or to season a jest? What more “edienation of affedion" remains possible, since slave-holding has taught the South to dis pise us in the mass? Yes, slavery bast produced this disaffection. A slava-holder must even look upon a laborer as a mean-spirited slave. Not only this. but another source of alienation is, that most of the laws which a Slave Slate requires, bring disasters upon a Free Stale. One wishes to make the laborer ■ brute; the other a man. Pay a laborer, and the more he knows the better. Enslave him, the less he knows the more quiet he will be. In a ?lave State, of the people who beam= poor am auks- Wens and thriving, that will hurt the interest of the master by bringing slavery into reproach. It is therefore the policy of a slave State to make every laboring man on the soil, bond on free, white or colored, as ignorant and despised as they can• . Directly opposite is the policy of a Free State, where ell aro laborers. The more the chil- Brest of the poor learn in schools and at Church, the less the bordens of the rich. The more know ledge and self-respect the laborer has, the more good will he do for his employer, and the less trouble he will occasion to community. In these, and tea thousand ways, the interest and policy of a slave and Free States west and jar and clash at evay point in theirlagislation.-- Their character, their wants, their virtues, their •ices, their fear, hopes, tastes- and inclinations must,tlilrer just as widely as their practices; and thew are as unlike as industry and Robbery. Who, Len, will have the effrontery to aseert, that Abolitionists have, or will, or can, alienate there two antagonist masses! But if slavery would not dissolve the Usros by destroying the South, or by alienating the South from the North, or by both these causes working together, it will do it by the provoked anger of Almighty God! "I WISH NO OTHER HRRALD, NO °ramp SPEAKER OF MT LIVING ACTIONS, 40 REEF MINE HONOR FROM OORRUPTION."•••••SHARS• alitteMregM2artts .7)4209 atimmate, carpans 3190 agetta This addrras was published in 1791, three years after the Constitution. If any man had then in sinuated that holding such meetings, and publish ing such speeches, were a violation of the National Compact, he would have been pitied as an ideot, or laughed at as a fool! The truth is, at the time , the Constitution was formed, it was on all hands expected,that the down fall 'of slavery would follow the abolition of the slave-trade in 1808. They naturally supposed, that when it was declared piracy to make a man a slave, or bring him into the country, it would be infamy to hold him after ho was thus brought in. The wording of the Constitution itself shows n• it both Northern and Southern members expect ed slavery would be attacked as we attack it, and abolished as we shall abolish it. Not one article of the Constitution needs alteration. When men shall cease to bold each other ''as property in the United States, the article relating to ofugittves from labor" will apply to paid servants and bound ap- prentices; and the article concerning taxation and representation will not point out, indirectly, wha "persona" shall be voted for as human cattle, when those cattle shall, by their present masters, be re. cognised as men. At the time of the Constitution, as before, and for a time after it, the Methodist Church was al- most one great Anti-Slavery Society. Coss and Amiss.; successors of Wasr.zr, went to General WasurrcoTors, to his seat at Mount Vernon, with a petition, for the Abolition of Slavery. Wash ington did not sign their petition, but assured them she was with them in sentiment," and would write to the Assembly, expressing his wish that the measure might be carried when they took it up. Not far from the same time, Washington wrote his letter to Sir John Sinclair, in which he says, the high price ;if lands in Pennsylvania and New York are owing to the fact that "those States have laws which are effecting thi; Abolition of their Sla, very, which Maryland and Virginia have noi•as yet, but which it is plain they must have, and that et a period not greatly remote." tilarh sentiments were spoken, printed and pub. fished throughout the country at the North and South, and none ever 'hinted that the Compact was at all infringed! Jarranson's well known letterfrom Monticello is familiar to all: "The hour of Emancipation is advancing in the march of time. will comer and whether brought on by the gen- erous energy of our own minds, or by the bloody process of Bt. Domingo, excited and conducted by our present enemy,(Great Britain,) if once perma nently stationed in our own country, and offering There was never yet a den of robbers who 'did not fall out about the spoils. Nor was there ever a slave-holding nation where one /art did not sooner or later fly at the throats of the other.— Egypt had wise laws and well-planned institu tions; but Egyptians were slave-holders. The Republics of Greece and Romo were destroyed by civil dissentions; i. e. quarrels between slave-hold ing Republicans. Spain is writhing under-the wrathful dealings of God, and every nation which has imitated or shall imitate her slave-holding of In diana and Negroes has suffered or shall suffer the same prostration beneath the hand of Divine Vengeance. What then do our opponents gain by puttiiig down Abolition: Have they saved the Union, or shielded it! No, this they themselves do not pre tend. They know this horrid catastrophe must come, and that soon. Yet they ask to be lot alone! Their cry, to the abolitionists is like that of the Devils, in a like case, to the Savior of mankind: "Then they cried out with a loud voice, saying, let us alone, art 'thou come hither to torment us before the time?" 11. But, Gentlemen, though Slavery will, the agitation of the abolitionists will not dissolve the Union. Because, the abolitionists are doing noth ing against the Constitution or the Laws. If they were infringing either, it would be easy to prose cute, and fine or imprison them: for they have always been unpopular, and juries would easily he found to give verdict against them. What then is this wom.out Southern threat! Why,as before said, it is just this: If you exercise your rights—if you do what the Constitution and Laws allow you to do, then we will blow up•the Union! In other words, we will commit treason! And you, Faeguse, are asked to decide on your course of conduct with threats of treason over you! 111. But "the compact! The compact! If obeli. tionists go on, they will violate the compact implied in the Constitution, and the South will secede." - By this, our opponents mean to say, that there was an understanding between the North and South, in 1589, when the Constitution was ratifi ed, that slavery should not be attacked in the way we do it. This assertion is utterly at variance with fact. A few years before, at the very time, and for several years following the Constitution, Slavery was violently assailed by individuals and societies. The old "Pennsylvania Society for promoting the Abolition of slavery" was reorganized in 1784, and immediately chartered by the Legislature. It ex cluded slave-holders, and even those who avowed slave-holding sentiments, as unfitfor member-ship by an article of its Constitution: thus making war on the character of slave-holders. Dr. FRANKLIN was then President of that society; and in 1789, the year of the Constitution, the society sent out an address asking funds, in which they call slave ry "an atrocious debasement of human nature." This address is signed "B. FRANKLIN, Pres't."-4 Their war was on Southern Slavery and South ern Slave-holders, alit will be recollected that the Pennsylvania Abolition act was passed in 1780, nine years before. There wore many man then in Pennsylvania who would net - eat with a' slave. holder! Similar societies then existed in different parts of the country. President En waling, (the younger,) addressing one of these societies, at the head of which was President STILES, of Yale Col lege, said among other things: "The Africans are by nature equally entitled to Freedom as we are: therefore to enslave them, is as really, anal!' the same sense, wrong, as to steal from them, murder them, or rob them." "Many, -many are knocked down; some have their oars beaten out; some have an arm or leg broken dr chopped off; • and many, for a very small or for no crime at all, have been beaten to death, merely to gratify the fury of an enraged Master or Over-Seer!" And again: ""Who can hrsitatc to declare this trade, (the slave trade,) and the consequent slave ry, to be contrary to every principle of justice and humanity, of the law of nature and the law of God!" an asylum end alms to the.oppiessed, is e leaf of our histotjr not yet turned over." "This enterprise (i.e. Abolition)ls for the young; for those who can follow it up and bear it through to its consummation. It shall have my prayers,and these are the only weapons of an old man." From these and other witnesses, which might be multiplied to any extent, it is plain that Slave ry _was attaeked,and the slave-holder publicly cen sured, before,at the time of,and after the Constitu tion. That Northern men (ace the list of members of the old Abolition society,) took the lead in de netmeing EiLwery as "an atrocious debasement of human Nature," which ought to be abolished; and that the impression was current all over , the South, as well as North,that the time of Emancipation was ralqi,Viadeancing Me march of time." Now, thv man who pretends. that there was on compatt,"when the Constitution was ra tified, thet *rely should be let alone, must either bar grossly ant orwilfully,malieious. That the Constitutiovis written, forbids our attacking sla very, none, will be so much an idiot as to assert. IV.

Before the abolition in the District, our cause will have spread so far among the Southern= ere themselves, as to have a powerful minority all through the South in favor of immediate and eter nal Abolition. Every day our strength increases at the. South. If they had wished for dissolution, their time was two or three years ago. Now it is too late. Awl as the cause of Freedom advances, the attempt by incendiary hands to dissolve the Union; will become more and more desperate, and the danger of it will hourly decrease. V. I know, Fellow Citizens, wo are told, "If you go on to agitate, the South will secede." The South will never secede. First: because she can gain nothing, either profit, comfort or safety, by secession. On the contrary, she must lose immensely in profit,comfort and safety. Now,her mails are a tax on the balance in the treasury of the post office department, and nine-tenths of the revenue Is collected at Northern ports. If the U nion Were, dissolved, the first token of their altered condition the Southern Planter would receive, would be on enormous direct tax to support the New Government. The Southern people never will submit to this taxation, for the sake of letting ' a foie mad leaders enjoy the horrid comforts of Slavery. If the Union were dissolved, the separating line would be another Canada line,rind the slaves could not be kept 011 the South aide of it.

If each individual freeman. at the South should commit voluntary suicide, the act were a sane one com pared with their voting for a dissolution of the Union. Nor could the dissolution of the Union afford the South even the Devilish consolation of revenge upon the Abolitionists. It would not throw a straw in their way, but aid them in theirdesigns. Were the South to dissolve the Union, then nobody in the North would fear a dissolution, and all would Iv Abolitionists by interest and inclination. And to keep us from influencing public opinion in her midst, the South must forbid all marriages across the line; search every mail bag or prohibit their entrance; burn every paper, read every letter; pro claiin non•intercourse in trade; in short, she must make the gulf of separation between us as fathom loss and impassable as the abyss which divides Hell from Heaven, before she can throw one ob stacle in our way. Not only could she not injure us, but she would deeply disgrace herself—an in jury which, of all others, she would most keenly feel. Suppose the Union dissolved, who then are the associates of .this new Southern Empires Who her allies and friends! Brazil excepted, there is not another elave-holding people on this whole continent! and the chivalrous South finds herself in the same catalogue with the Algerine and the Turk; and his excellency Gov. McDorm is at once shouldering side by side with that Hairy Sea-dog, the Sodomite Bashavv of Tripoli; the Pirate man-catcher of Algiers, and the Knight of the Seraglio, the turbanned Sultan! By force of circumstances, they would be mentioned in the same breath, and the same paragraph, and held up together for the honest execration of the patriot freeman and the common loathing of mankind!— This would be revenge upon the abolitionists with a witness! If, then, the South should go opt of the Union,'she would go against all the motives which have heretofore influenced mankind, except ing only naked delirium. Her interest, her repu tation, her safety, her revenge, her love of slavery, and her love of Freedom, whichever way she turns, and whatever motive be uppermost, all impel her toward a Union with the North. But if she is to secede, how Lilt to be donel— Why by calling a convention, which would intro- duce a discussion of the inerita of slavery into the very bowels of the South! By this method, VI. The South cannot dissolve the Union if oho wore mad enough to attempt it. Discussion there may destroy slavery, it cannot dissolve the Union. Long before she could harmonize in one the perfect Babel of opinions which prevails in the different States; long before she could fix on a line of Sopa- ration between us long Wore the foundation prin ciples of this modern republic, whose corner-stone is to be slavery l —L e. oppression, robbery and fraud —could be settled in preliminaq debate, Me pee. pk of the South would be awakened to their dan ger by leaders wishing their favor, and the nal flare themselves again be nullified! No =amen entertain so despicable art opinion of southern fore• sight, as to suppoae that whole people QUI be for ced headlong into the jaws of the Abyss of dine union, without stopping to look down the praci- pia: and sea where they are like to land. And that too from simple, flat, opsamodia rage. VII. But the great argument against the posai bility of disunion, after an, to in the plumbed Pee tection of Gov.

Is it righteousness that_ ruins a nation by forfeiting God's pmtectionl The thought is impiety! No., "No measures of a day, Change the bright hopes of Empires to decay." It is the silent creeping of vice, the aecumulat ing wrongs of oppression, the 'poisonous progress of luxury, and the wasting effects of idleness,which sap the foundations of government,end bring down the wrath of God. Ten righteous men would have delivered Sodom; will ten times ten thousand, who are doing the same things which . Lot (11.1 in his country, destroy' thief Never! Never! He who obeys the behest of the Almighty in denounc ing acknowledged wickedness, takes part with God against sin, and he has the oath and promise of the moat High, that • the fruit of righteousness shall be sown in peace." Then, who are the Incendiaries? -In the elo quent appeal of my antagonist, I seemed to see the Temple of Freedom standing in the Groves of Pence, spotted with the green leaves of intervening olives; its white columns and graceful . minarets in beautiful relief against the blue sky. I gazed entranced. I saw in Golden letters stamped all over it, "Liberty and Union; now and forever one and inseparable." I saw the Abolitionist incen diary approach it. My breath grew short, as I be held the wretch, with quiet and noiseless tread draw near and produce his torch, which, with mulish obstinacy and marble indifference,he plung ed into the magazine beneath the templet' My. blocid froze and I choked with horror! But—but no explosion followed! The temple still stood, as fair and as firm as ever. I drew near and discover ed to my infinite joy, that the thing which he had thrust under the corner of the Edifice, and which was to blow it to atoms, was a simple Nzw-Tss ram ENT, covered with a parchment Declaration of Independence! My vision was righted. I saw the veal Temple of Freedom: and through her open portals, dis covered the sweet Infant of. Liberty rocked in the cradle of Hope. The Black-Snake of Slavery had slowly crawled to the place, and stealthily wound himself around the child. His folds were already completed, and his circles straighted. The face of the stalling cherub already blackened, was distorted by convulsive gasps for breath, when the GENIUS Or EMANCIPATION approached, cut asunder the spires of the Serpent, and the temple rang with the chorus Jubilee,which Echo prolonged along the far-vaulted roof, till they sunk and were lost in the Anthem of Eternity! NrlaMaUllil'eo External happiness and misery are not in this life always the consequences of virtue and vice; this world is not the theatre of .Divine retribu tion;' but there is a life beyond the grave, where the good will receive their reward, and the wicked be punished.

Tzecuses.—Parents do not sufficiently reflect how much mischief may acdrue to their children, by entrusting them to the care of incompetent and injudicious school masters and mistresses. Many of those persons who make a trade of teaching the young idea how to shoot, ex ercise a baleful effect upon the young end tender mind of the pupil. The most improper notions are often imbibed at these little education shops, and the finest traits in the juvenile character, are warped and ruined by the tampering of weak-mind ed and ignorant teecbets. Parents too often im agine that when their children are very young, it matters little to whom they are intrusted, as a per son with very little education is competent to teach them the alphabet and a—b, ab. If the literary acquirements of the' instructor were alone to be , considered, this would all do well enough. But how many vulgar ideas, and how many fides opin ions may be almost imperceptibly imbibed by the young student, when placed in such hands.
