several States the power over the institu-
ton Of slavery, as power not necessary to
the plan of union which it devised, and as
one with which the General Government
could not be invested without planting the
seeds of certain destruction. There let it
remain undisturbed by any unhallowed hand.
Sir, am not in the habit of speaking
lightly of the possibility of dissolving this
happy Union. The Senate knows that
have deprecated allusion, on ordinary occa-
sions, to that direful event. The country
will testify hat, if there be anything in the
history emy public career worthy of re-
collection, is the truth and sincerity OF
my ardent devotion to its lasting proserva-
ton. But We should be false in our alleei-
ance to it, if we did not discriminate be
tween the imaginary and real dangers by
which it may be assailed. Abolition should
no longer be regarded as an imaginary dan
ger. The abolitionists, let me suppose,
succeed in their present aim Of uniting the
inhabitants ofthe free States as one man,
against the inhabitants ofthe slave States.
Union on one side will beget union on the
other. And this process of reciprocal con-
solidation will be attended with all the vio-
lent prejudices, embittered passions, and i'm
placable animosities which ever degraded
or deformed human nature. A virtual disso-
luton of the Union will have taken place,
whilst the forms of its existence remain

al kindness, the feelings Of sympathy, the
fraternal bounds, which now happily unite

ready adverted are not sufficient to dissuade
the abolitionjsts from further perseverance
in their designs,the interest of the very cause
which they profess to espouse, ought to
check their career. Instead Of advancing,
by their efforts, that cause, they have thrown
back for half century the prospect Of any
species of emancipation ofthe African race,
gradual or immediate, in any of the States.
They have done more; they have increas-
ed the rigors Of legislation against slaves in
most, if not all, of the slave States. Forty
years ago the question was agitated in the
State of Kentucky of q gradual emancipa-
ton Of the slaves within its limits. BY gra-
dual emancipation mean that slow but safe
and cautious liberation of slaves which was
first adopted in Pennsylvania at the instance
of DR.. Franklin, in the year 776O, and ac-
cording to which, the generation being were
to remain in slavery, but all their offspring
born after specified day were to be free at
the age Of twenty-eight. and, in the mean
time, were to receive preparatory instruction
to qualify them for the enjoyment Of free
dom. That was the species of emancipa-
ton which, at the epoch to which allude,
was discussed in Kentucky. No one was
rash enough to propose or think Of immedi-
ate abolition. No one was rash enough to
propose or think of throwing loose upon the
community, ignorant and unprepared, the
untutored slaves Of the State. Many thought
and Iamongst them, that as each Of the slave
States had right exclusively to Judge for
itself in respect TO the institution Of dorles-

slavery as ii exists throughout the world
Why not leave it to us, as the common Con-
stitution of our country has left it, to be
dealt with, under the guidance of Provi-
dence, as best may or can?
The next obstacle in the way of abolition
arises out Of the fact of the presence in the
slave States of three millions of slaves. They
are there, dispersed throughout the land,
part and parcel of our population. They
were brought into the country originally UNI
der the authority Of the parent Government
whilst we were colonies, and their importa-
ton was continued in spite of all remon-
strances of our ancestors. If the question
were an original question, whether, there
being no slaves within the country, we
should introduce them, and incorporate them
into our society, that would be totally diff
ferent question. Few, if any, of the citi-
zens of the United States would be found to
favor their Introduction. No man in it
would oppose, upon that supposition, their
admission with more determined resolution
and conscientious repugnance than should.
BQt that is not the question. The slaves are
here: no practical scheme for their removal
or separation from us has yet been devised
or proposed; and the true inquiry is, what is
best to be done with them. In human af-
fairs We are often constrained by the force
of circumstances and the actual state of
things to do what we would not do if the
state Of things did not exist. Tho slavesare

AosioH' ASo sCHeHe was ever presented 10
the acceptance of man, which, whether it
be entirely practicable or not, is characteri-
zed by more unmixed humanity and bene-
violence than that Of transporting, with their
own consent, the free people of color in the
United States to the land of their ancestors
1t has the powerful Recommendation that
whatever it does is good, and if it effects
nothing, it inf1icts no one evil or mischief
upon any portion of our society. There is
no necessary hostility between the objects
OF colonization and abolition. Colonization
deals only with the free man of color; and
that with his own free, voluntary consent.
1t has nothing to do with slavery. It dis
turbs no mans property, seeks to impair no
power in the slave States, nor to attribute
any to the General Government. All its
action ind all Its ways and means are vol
untary, depending upon the blessing Of
Providence, which hitherto has graciously
smiled upon It. And yet, beni6cent as
colonization is, no portion of the People Of
the U. States denouaces it with SO much
Persevering zeal and such unmixed bitter
ness as do. the abolitionists.
They put themselves in direct opposition
to any separation whatever, between the
two races. They would keep them forever
pent up together within the same limits, per
petuating their animosities, and constantly
endangering the peace Of the community

ces between the two races ought to be en-
