as leaven put into a batch Of meal. that Will
ere long leaven the whole lump. | am sorry
to have to admit this truth, that the slave
States and slave interests have ruled this ma
ton from the Declaration of Independence TO
the present time they have kindly taken the
North and West under their care and keep
ing, and have provided a large majority OF
our Presidents, Cabinet officers, Foreign
Ministers, and Judges of our Supreme Courts,
from the slave States; they have made our
laws 10 suit their peculiar institutions. IL
was 81 veholders that demanded the admls-
sion of Texas into this Union, with her mix
ed and degenerate race OF inhabitants OF all
nations they knocked at the Halls of Con-
rress for admission into our glorious Union;
the North blushed awhile, but were soon
whipped into the traces by their masters.-
They knew il would be contrary to law to
admit them they also knew there was no
use to contend about that, as the South al
WAYS managed to have it their own way .
they consented, and Texas was admitted in
a day with the dash of a pen, with her mixed
and motley crew of inhabitants as good and
loyal subjects Of these United States when
al the same time the most respectable foreign.
ers coming amongst us, and adopting this
country as their future home, must knock for
wears for admission as citizens, before they
can be admitted they must then swear to
support the constitution, and pay a fee for
admission. Surely the slave power is ON
nlpotent-no other power in this land could
have produced the same result; and what
has been the legitimate fruit of the admission
of Texas into the Union ! We have the adj
mission of some Of the strongest minds. even
at the South, q. e. Calhoun of that number,)
that the admission of Texas was the cause of
the Mexican war, where hundreds of millions
of the peoples money have been wasted, and
thousands of valuable lives sacrificed by
sword and climate, all for the slave interest.
No intelligent man doubts this fact, that it
was the slave interest that caused this cruel,
disgraceiul and unrighteous war. But all
things are producing their Legitimate fruits.
a few years since, a Senator that would speak
his own mind freely on the subject OF slave
Ty, in Congress, was In danger of being eX-
PEELED now it is the all-engrossing subject,
it enters more or less into every subject
brought before either House at Washington.
1t is an institution that cannot bear %investi-
CATION. This subject is now fairly before the
people-this is what abolitionists have been
laboring for, TO have the subject fairly cam
vassed by the p~eopIe-then | fear not their
verdict, Look at the nations around us !
The cause of freedom is progressing with
railroad speed-their object is now about to
be accomplished. | have not correctly read
the signs of the times, if the days Of slavery
are not numbered in this country. The South
will have to yield to the growing anti-sIavery
feeling of the north and west; or before ten
years from this date there will be a dissolu-
tion of this Union. There is a point of for
bearance beyond which the north and rapidly
growing west will not submit. | have now
done, and thank you for your attention.
