Mr.. Roor. in the anti-slavsry debate, in the
House Of Representatives, among other matters
said
"He hoped that We might free ourselves
of the uammels Of privilege and order, and
send the subject to a committee. II theEs
was any member here who had nothing to
do hat decoy away negroes. his Constituents
should know it, He should hope that no
one here would advocate mobs. He was as
tonished to hear advocates Of the slave in
stitutiOn say that mobs were UNSUITABLE; be-
cause if any institution should dread mob.
1t was that Of slavery. In reply to the re-
mark that the Boston tea party was a mob,
he said that was no mob, for it was opened
with prayer A mob deals in weak heads
and strong arms. You, gentlemen Of the
South, said Mr.. R., ought TO rely on the
constitution. not on mobs- The sympathet-
ic spirit Of mob travels faster than the
cholera. The spirit which arose in Paris
is travelling about, and soon some serf may
occupy the seat of the Gar Of Russia.
The southern gentlemen wanted an oppor-
tunity to show their interest in relation to a
peculiar institution, and he liked it himself;
sometimes. He had made up his mind to
stand anything here. He would submit to be
called neutrality-suspicious., fanatic, &c,
and even an old federalist, if il would do
gentlemen any good at home. He suppO-
sed they spoke in a Pickwickian sense.
But they ought to discriminate between alb
olitionists and those who, while they sup
ported the rights Of the South, believed
slavery to be great moral evil and curse.
All were alike denounced, unless they uni
ted with the South in the belief that slave
ny was the greatest good that could be en-
Ioyed. But We have had nothing here ike
Squire Lamanine's abolition. The French
go ii strong-and yet you symPathize with
them. As to John Bull, it was alleged that
he sent abolitionists here TO get up an eX-
element. lie would be a fool to go to that
trouble-loI the southern men could do
that any day. The South will get up ex-
element enough-no, not excitement-that
is out Of fashiOn-but sympathy-sympa-
thy for consolidated liberty"
Mr.. RoOr was good nst1red, and. in this way.
