HON. JAMES T. HALE. (AfEMBER FllO3l THS9 DISTRICT,) la the house of I?rpresontatives at Wash. ingion, May 3, 1860. lIEMMF2 The House being in the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union— Mr. HALE said Mr. CHAIRMAN : I think the Republi can party has been more misrepresented than any one that ever existed in this country or any other. J. propose to say a few words in regard to what I under stand to be the principles - of • that party; to see whether they hold' any doctrines that'are inconsistent with the rights of any portion of the country any doctrines not held by the fathers of the Republic, from the beginning down to the last very few years. - The doctrines of the Republican party, as I understand them, Mr. Chairman, aro, opposition to the extension of human slavery and protection to American in dustry. These I believe to be the two pardinal principles of that party. This is the, only one we hold on the subject of slavery, except those other -incidental measures that grow out of the opposition tots extension. We are opposed to tak ing $200,000,000 from the people for the purchase of Cuba, and to the acquisition of territory from Mexico,. for .the exten sion of the area of human bandage. We„ are also opposed to the reopening of the African slave trade. Have not these principles' been held at all times, by all parties of the country, up almost to 1854 ? The North with one voice did so. They were also held by the founders of this Re public;--not alone by those who belonged Debote3 to 14e, iiq:ipits of DCiT)OONeg, 4io of Yoh ' lag, /-iter4llol an aCitical. SPEECH.

We hold uo oth- I er principle on that subject than they' held: We stand just where they stood;' where Washington, Jefferson, Madison,' - Clay, Pinckney, and other elaveholding fathers and founders of, the Republic, stood. Is not this true? The history of the country shows that beyond any sort of doubt. . . Who were the founders of the Missou ri compromise line in 1820—that great and benificent act of patriotism ? Were they the fanatics of the NOT ? No, sir; they were the slaveholders of the South; with Henry Clay at their head. This measure, which gave peace and repose to the country, never was attempted to be disturbed, either by the North or by the. South. Oa the contrary, upAct 1854, the South in good faith regarded that com promise as one to be observed and kept by them. It is a remarkable fact, Mr. Chairman, that our southern brethren never understood that they' were. so de graded and cueated by that measure, •as they now say they_ were, and never re garded it as a badge of inferierity, as they now claim it to have been. • It remained, sit, for a Yankee to. discover that the South Lad been so wronged and cheated and in.ulted by that compromise measure of 1820. A gentleman from the green hills of Vermont goes to Illinois, studies law, comes back to Congress in due time —as be had a right to do—and instructs our southern brethren as to their rights and duties, informing them that they have been most egregiously wronged by that act of 1820 ; that the tuen - who fram ed and established it did not know what they were about—did not kuow that they were degrading the power and sacrificing the rights of the South It scents to me that this is an imputation on the patriot ism and wtßdotn of the men of the South who framed that compromise measure, who sustained it, who were willing to abide by it, for all time to come, and who did stand by it for so many .fears.' Mr. Clay, that illuatrious man, who was for a long, time tkfavonte of •the_slaxeholders of the South for the Presidency, always sustained it. Do you think that Ulm had been living it, would have been repealed ? Never.. If Mr. Clay had been in the Sen ate in 1854, in my judgment„ the South never would and never. could have repeal. ed that bill. Like,:Rhoderic Dhu— • - One blasf r ppsot his hugle-horn Were It.orth-A - thousand men." I should be perfectly willing and I be lieve the Republican party would be, if it was possible, to have that line restored. It would be an end of this slavery agita tion forever. Our southern *brethren tell us not to agitate this question. I, for one, have no desire to do so. I came here with no such purpose. The slavery ques tion was thrust into our faces without any reason, in the most offensive manner; and when we repel the charges against us, we are told not to agitate the slavery ques tion. I should be willing to have it ban ished forever from these Halls, and to never have the subject alluded to. But when we hear the subject constantly iter ated and reiterated by the South, how can we help speaking ? We have no de sign or desire to interfere with slavery in the States where it now exists. We have said so in every way in which a political party can speak—in our platforms, reso lutioLs and speeches. We have declared that we would protect the rights of the South under the Constitution, and we mean to do i ; but, sir, it is our duty and our intention to maintain inviolate our own rights under the Constitution as well as theirs. The views tre bold in regard to the ex tension of slavery are those 'which were held by all the people of the free States but a few years since. The 'Legislature of my' own State declared, in 1 / 4 7 ' that no territory should be received from Mex ico, unless it was provided, as the funda mental condition of the -acquisition, that slavery should be forever excluded from its limits. That.was the doctrine of the Democratic party before the Republican party had an existence. In order that there may be no misunderstanding, I ask the Clerk to read the resolutions of the Pennsylvania Legislature. The Clerk read, as follows : "Whereas the existing war with BlexicO may result in the acquisition of new territory to the Union ; and whereas measures are now pending in Congress haring in view the ap propriation of money and the conferring of authority upon the treaty-making power Ito this end : Therefore, "Resolved by the Senate, 4-e., That our Sena tors and Representatives in Congress be re quested to vote against any measure whatev er by which territory will accrue to the Union, unless, as a part of the fundamental law npon which any compact or treaty for this purpose is based, slavery or invob.ntary servitude, cx cept for crime. shall be forever prohibited. "Resolved; That the Governor be reqnesta to forward a espy of the foregoing to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress." Mr. HALE. The committee ,will, per &ice -that -that resolution request's' -the Senators and Representatives of Pennsyl ! vania to vote against Ow; acquisition of any territory uness slavery shall be ex cluded from it. It was; vnted for by eve ry Democaatie member of the lower House of the Legislature, and by all . the, Sena tors but three—Mr. Bigler, the present Democratic: Senator "trout Pennsylvania, being in the Senate, and voting for* • If resolutions-like that Were now adopted by. any party in Pennsylvania, thei would be deuouneed.by the,Democratic feeders as tieasonable, incendiary, and:dangerous to the peace -and Welfare of the ;Union. A siMpliiresolution,, which was"offered at this session;" instructing the Judiciary Committee ° inquire into the expediency of prohibiting slavery where We- have the constitutional right to'do so, was consid ered a-dangerous attach upon the rights of the South. They t4II us now; that if we assert that freedoin is the proper con dition of the Territoiresl, and that ',slavery does not exist and inuatrnot go there and if we should dare to: elect President holding these views,' that, he shall never take his sear, and tlffitl the Union shall be dissolved in ennscquence. Can it be that this course on the part of the South has caused this great change in the poli ticians of the North ? Have we been frightened 'from our propriety and our rights by impotent and, : insolent threats ? It seems to me that - 06 other reason for the change can be ascribed. It this be so; if eadnivill be deterred from holding their opinions' by such reasons; then; I' think, slavery of the baser sort may fair ly be said to exist .north of Mason and Dixon's line. How would our southern brethren feel if we put a like proposition 1.6 them . ? We - believe slavery to be wrong. We think that it is an evil. • You, gentle men, believe. that slavery is right, and ought to go into .the , Territories, You favor the extension of slavery. Suppose we should say that it ,you elected a man to - the office of President, who 'held the Same views you do, and elected j him in a peaceful and constitutional manner, we would never . allow hint_ to- be sworn into office, but' would ; " in that mail dissolve this 'Union and destroy the Government; I would it not be fairly said il+t such •a tbreat-deilevved only your scorn and con.. , tenant.? Surely . it would.. So we treat it,' when it conies from yo-2.. No such threat will, I. think, prevent -the 11/7z of the North from exercising the sacred right of, ' suffrage -in the way ;they think proper. We intend, at the next election, to elect I a Republican President—if we can get votes enough; and When he is elected he will take his scat. br that you may be sure.. Mr. Chairman, the Republican party is, a Union party. It iS" in favor of preserv itig this -Union iu its, integrity, and with all the rights of all the sections. We do not desire the preseryation of the Union, as our southern friends sometimes-allege, for meiceuary purpbses. We disclaim that entirely. \relieve higher and no bler reasons fur sustaining it. We would preserve it because it is a rich legacy from our forefathers, won by their toil and blood. We have received it tinimpaired,i and unimpaired we! intend to leave it to.i our children. We, believe it to be the best form of government on earth, and that its destruction ;would be the greatest political calamity that could befall us, had one that Must be a-ierted by almost any conceivable sacrifice. My own State has suffered more froin the acts of the South, within the last fif. teen years, than' all the southern States together have suffered from r the acts r of the North from tlielocginning of the Gov ernment. 'We have • seen our interests.' struck down by the free-trade Deinocrats of the South ; in •the repeal of the tariff ' i of 1842.; our property depreciated in value; our manufactories, Closed ; our, business; in a great manner ruined ; and yet we have not threatened to dissolve the Union on thakaccourett-::. We did not claim the right to redreis our grievances in that way..; I have no hesitation in saying that we have lost more property by the repeal of the tariff of 1842. than you have by all he runaway slaies; from the foundation of the Govcrutuent down to the present time. Mr. Chairman; that hare we done nith respect to slavery that should bring upon us all this fearfullstorm ? What pried pies do we now bold that should so ex cite their hostility. I lire in a State bor dering semi three; or fourlUndred Miles upon slave territory; and yet the fugitive slave -law, :odious as it is to the mass of our people, is oieouted there without se rious diffeulty. To be sure, we require southern men to come after their slaves; we do not propose to run clown their l De grees and take them back. They should not ask that - ; but whoa they come to us and!sk . fur their .;rights, their request is always respected; although it is opprsed to the feelings of l all our people. ;Wi. iwere brought up : to look upon slavery!.

When we are ready to give up all these rights we shall be fit for slavery, but not before. ! :, I ropost to devote some remarks now to th discussion of that other principle of th Republican party—protection to Arlie Man industry.. Upon that subject I! can of expect to say anything very new or in eresting; anything which has not been said by others better qualified to :Ike il s sit than I am. The best minds, of th s country have been turned to its exa ination; and I think I may safely say, that, when they have done so with au i the partial desire to arrive at the truth, ecision has almost universally been or of the doctrine UM fore I proceed to the discussion of subject, I wish to notice some re- I B that its by the gentleman from Virginia, MlLLsorz,) who addressed the cour e fiday or tw.o since. I did not hear cutleman's speech, but I see it re din the Globe; and io order that he mar! Pitd Fula! 'xbe portie , Ewa not be misrepresented,. I will read (what he said on that occasion : "set I understood the allusiot . of the gen an from Pennsylvania, and it confirms me in t e supposition that I have indulged for som • time pastas to the objects of the Repub lica party, with which the gentleman is avow edl • associated. What is that party ? Sir, I say, for one, that I do not fear the Republican par yin any of its assaults upon sia very, I am .ot sensitive; because I do not fenr you, gen leruen.

The Re.Ublican party haie no desire, have no deign, have no power, lun'e no wirh, to int . rfere with slavery in the States where it exists. They have said so in every fo In, on every occasion, and gentlemen ou.ht to believe us; and Iwo glad to,find th- gentleman from Virginia does. He sa s further. ' Yet you maintain yourorganization, hop in that the strong anti -slavery sentiment w ich you attempt to nourish and perpetuate wi 1 induce the people, to remain with yon. bond together as a Republican party ; and when'you are lifted into power, then you will gi , e that protection to northern manufectur in , and mining interests, and persecute these grad and gaudy schemes of internal int= prbvement, that yon have been prevented for s. many years -from accomplishing, by the st rn opposition of the Democratic party." . lam obliged to the gentleman from rginia for that candid and frank avow- of what he believes to be the positidp aid objects of the Republican party. ? - ? hat is, no doubt, the true secret of the o.position to that party on the part . of o r Democratic friends They do not far us .on the slavery question. They t etnnelves say so, speaking through one .f their most distinguished leaders on this floor ; but they oppose us because they believe that, when we do get into poWer, we will pass laws for the proton ion of northern industry. That is the rue secret of their opposition. .They re not afraid of us •on account iof lavery ; and why should they be ? Do ye not hold the same principles on tat übject that Henry Clay held iu his life. imp? We stand precisely where he tood when he was supported by a lafge najority of the slaveholders for the Pres. lideney. I ask leave to read what Sr. lay says on that subject : "So long as God allows the vital cutient to flow through my veins; so long as reason holds her seat enthroned in my brain, I Will never, never aid iu submitting one rood of free territory to the everlasting curse of ;hu man bondage." • • J Does the . Republican party hold any stronger position than this? No, sir.— What does he say again with regard to the moral, political, and social aspect of slavery ? - • . "1 have made no change from the earliest moment when I could consider the institution of slavery. I have held and I have said, from that day down to"the present, agaitiand again, and I shall go down to the grave vrithf the , opinion, that it is an evil—a social and poll cal evil—and that it is a wrong as it respects those whe are subject the institution of slav ery. These are my opinions."—Speccit oft the compromise of 1850. Now, these are the opinons of thelßo. publican party, and as far as any member of that party has gone. Then why do they complain of us? They know iwell that so far as slavery in the States is 'con cerned, they have nothing to fear from i FOUR CENTS. TERMS.-41.25 PER ANNUM. us; and as to the Tevitories, it would-be a vain and useless effort for slavery •to undertake to keep . up - with - the 'activity and energy of free dom there. They have tried that once, , in endeavoring to make Kansas a slave State. That _lesson, I trnst, , will not soon be forgotten by them; and I also think the effort will not soon be repeated. • Give us, Mr. Chairman, the homestead bill, as I trust we will' soon have it. Give us a fair and free election- by the people Of the Territories, and freedom, I think, would have nothing-tlffesz. front the re suit. The Territories are neer freer. Theyr will be free. It is their right and destiny. Why should bur southern friends endeavor to force slavery on them I They haie ample space within their own States for all conceivable wants of the system.- According 'to the admission of a distin guished Senator from the South, made in the Senate a short time since, they have territory sufficient for two hundred mill ion slaves within the slave States. As they have now but fOur million, they will scarcely need. any more slave territory file the next five hundred years at least. [The above embraces about half of Ittdp , Hale's speech.

So also, if by continuing to stand you - make taus continually raise his eyes to lee you. Be as Motionless aw possible, and never gesticulate in speaking to the sick. - •• . Never make a patient repeat a - request, especially if it be some time after. Occu pied patients are accused of doing too much of their own business. 'They are instinctively right. Bow often you beer the person charged with the vequest of giving the message, or writing the letter, say half an hour afterward to the patient, " Didyou appoint 12 o'clook.?" or, "What did you say was the address ?" or ask, per haps, some Much more agitating question —thus causing the Tratient the effort of memory, or worse atill,of dedision, all over again.
