OF having any re, ort to violence was
plain. If New England interfered, Eng
! lana and all the world would cry ont
stop! to enable the South to go on and
make cotton. What would coercion do?
Could the South be coerced back into
the Union? Could you get back South
Carolina, if she should 90 out? The at
tempt would be of such suicidal follv as
was never heard of! You might as well
say, that if Orpheus had been the only
man IN the world, the women would have
killed him. He did not believe that Ten
nessee and Kentucky would permit their
Northern neighbors to cross their terri
tory to attack their Southern friencs!
The moment that secession takes place.
the moment breach is made, that mo-
ment the word Union loses its charm.
Suppose North Carolina, on this oues-
ton, was met with an invitation to io;n
the Union, would she not stand by her
sister States? He begged leave to sup
pose case. Virginia is crowded in the
tobacco market by Kentucky and Mis-
souri,. Suppose such confedcracy-
that Clay could keep Kentuly, and Ben,
ten Missouri. The Southern States
would only have 70 make some Slight
commercial coi sions to England to
get five or ten ee4its knocked off Of the
duty on tobacco, and Kentucky and his.
souri, could not sella pound in the En-
gllsh market People understand these
things! But suppose the confederacy
embraced all the Southern States, a coun-
try from the Chesapeake to the Gulf of
Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains; and
what could she want? There would be n
homogeneous population--tie of blood,
and harmony uninterrupted No ma
ton has ever existed with so magnificent
a prospect, as would be presented by this
view of the case. What would be want
ing? Anything in ommerce-manufac
lures? Virginia included coal and wa
ter-power in abundance. What could
they want, suppose this thing done?
Where would be Pennsylvania? She
had now to sustain herself against the
competition of all New England, and was
crying out about the tariff Yet she had
the Southern market. Take away the
tariff, and she goes to the markets of the
world, in opposition to New England,
and she would at once be the workshop
of the South; ard instead of being on the
margin and contending for the markets
with New England and New York, she
would have it all to herself. There was
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. What Ohio
would do, he did not know-she was a
sort of nondescript. She had industry,
skill, wealth, commerce, and all that.
But when you go ashore at the Queen
City, you would think she was imported
from Germany. There was little of the
Irish brogue, to be sure. She had all
the elements of greatness, but she was a
problem. One Of the most beautiful fca-
lures of the slavery system was that the
association of the whites and blacks had
elevated the latter. Associations be-
tween equals would generally elevate one
class at the expense of the other Our
system had made the negro pretty much
of gentleman! The Ohio man has moth
Ing but the hog, and he cannot make
anything of him. There yas one thing
Ohio reminded him Oft was a green
and standing pool-aye, cess pool.
He was conscious that he had tried the
patience of the audience. A tired man
speaking to a tired audience, was like a
tired man riding tired horse! He had
not said tenth part of what he had
meant to say He came here with his
mind charged, and he might as we'll at
tempt to drain Lake Erie through a
goose quill as attempt to bring out all in
his mind through his speech. He had
said nothing of compromises, but he
would say he was sick of them He had
always lost by them, and they had all
come from the same quarter. Some of
the agitation might have been gotten up
for the sake of the credit of pacification.
But he was too much fatigued to speak,
and would close.
