OPINION OF Mr. ADAMS on THE AB-
CLIFTON OF SLAvERY.-While Mr.. Ad-
ans was delivering his speech on Texas,
Mr.. Campbell, of S. c. said -
~ e L.
tleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Adams
bowed to ask him to explain the consist
eRcy of his argument in two particulars.
If his object really is to prevent slavery,
[ ask him whether he is not convinced
that slavery will exist in Texas, whether
she shall be annexed to this Union or not
And whether, on this point, the only dif
ference will not be in this: that if she
comes into the Union, she will get her
slaves from the United States, and if she
remains without, she will get them from
Africa2 Ard whether, therefore, the eff

with all those things which he has chos-

apparent inconsistencies.
Mr. ADAMS. 1t is not difficult to an

their slaves, after having once tried the
experiment of the effects of freedom.
say that, when the slaves shall have, to a
great extent, been drained of, the interest
of the Shareholder will prompt him 10 do
the same thing here. 1t will then be his
interest, as it is now his duty, to Put an
end to the whole system. And, if it shall
once be abolished there--as in nv pray,
ers TO Almighty God nightly and daily
invoke Him that it may be-slavery in
Texas will fall Of itself A slave State,
like Texas, could not exist between two
, states like this Union and Mexico, both
free. But if Texas is to be admitted and
if we are to hear lessons in philosophy
such as we have lately had addressed tc
US, teaching that slavery is blessing and
virtue; if, say, we are to have school:
where it shall be taught to our children
and youth that slaves are chattels-tha
slavery is benevolent institution of Coo
