. crack speech of the day. 1t now being l2A o.
d. clock, the audience retired to dinner.
l At 9 o'clock the audience again convened
and Simon Bernard appeared on the stand in
favor of dissolution. This speech was truly
what Mr.. Foreman, his opponent, who replied

his reason for favorng dissolution, which was
as follows; He commended that slavery was an
admitted evil, that our constitution upheld that
evil, and he could no, support the one without
the other, and consequently he desired that the
Union might be dissolved for the purpose of
forming separate fedei compacis, saying then
tho South would be unabeto control their slaves
and would be forced to introduce free labor, &c.

was sarcastic and severe. He used some Sc
we're and cutting language in reference to Davis
last speech, and went on 10 reply 10 Bernard.
He showed that the separation Of the Union
would be the means of carving slaves and sla-
very into all our South Western territory, show
ed the blindness as well as folly of abolilionists
to ask for peaceful dissolution, such thing
being out of the bounds of possibility as well
as probability. lie showed the evils now ex-
listing relative to fugitive slaves now escaping.
