forms, existed throughout the Roman em- pire in Judea as elsewhere. And yet he, whose mission upon earth it was, to Gre prove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement to come," who con- demned iniquity in its minutcst forms, in stead of preaching up this modern philan. thropy, enioined the observance of all the duties which belong to the relation of master and servant. "Shall mortal man be more just than God Shall man be more pure than his Maker?"
 And now, in conclusion, Mir. Char man, would ask, is threatened inlustlce to be consumated upon the South. ihese Territories are at the price of pioou' streaming from every portion of inc on- ion. The blended chivalry of every Sta'e of the Union has won this rich domain. On every battle-f field in Mexico. the hardy son of the North. and the fearless volun- teer of the South, have together upheld the flag and honor of their country. Side by side hare they languishcd in the hos pita}. In q common current has their life blood mingled, and the tears which a na- tion of mourners sheds upon the grave of inc one, run over 10 moisten and hallow the kindred dust of the other. And now that the dim of battle is hushed, and the spells of victory are gathered to our camp, is it to be said, that he who was foremost in the fight and the last in the retreat, has no intersest in the fruits of the common achievement Shall the Northern traitor, who imprecatcd the judgements of Heav- en upon the armies of his country, be told "to enter and enloy,o while the Southern patriot shall be forbidden to pour out his sweat upon the very fields he has already watered with his bloodl Shall the Nerth have everything, the South nothing Sir let those who persist in this career of madness and injustice weigh well the re- responsibilities they assume. Let them net disregard the compromises of the Consti- tuition, nor stretch to dangerous tension the chords which unite us. Let them re- member that the sense of national injus- lice and national degradation is never ap- ?eased; that the wrongs already threaten ed have weakened, in many a patriotic bosom, the sentiment of attachment to the Union of the States. Men now use ia, miliar words which twenty years ago would have been deemed as reasonable. This Hall, consecrated to the purposes of eternal justice, is made the theatre of per pctual elimination and rccrimnation. Suspicion has taken the place of coni- dence. The spirit of fraternity and equali- ty has fled, and the gorgon train of ill., weaved ambition, sectional jealousy, and the insatiate lust of unlawful power, hold their accursed orgies over the violated Constitution. The cloud, which but yes terday was ''no bigger than mans head" which excited no alarm, today has spread over the whole Heavens, and its dark shadow is upon us. Beyond the walls of this Capitol, men maddened by disappont- ment, and thiisting for vengeance forget ting the favors of the past, rioting in the dissensions of the present, and looking only to the ruin of theEfuiure false. to prin- ciple, false to self, and false to country, are madly attempting to array the two extrem- ties of this Union in fierce hostility to each other on this fearful question. Sir, let the patriotism, wisdom, and moderation of Congres come to the rescue of the Un- ion let it by settling it, and that forever, withdraw from the strife of the Presiden- tial canvass this fearful element of discord, which, though now manageable, may here- after return to us defying all control. Let us take from the wrecklessness schis- matic, and the unprincipled factionist, this question of slavery, the only alment on which they fee l, and restore tranquility to the public mind by another triumph of the Constitution.
