We copy the following extracts from tn,
speech of Mr. Julian, from the Christian
Press.
Mr.. PRESIDENT - In obedience to tic
call OF our ant-savcry friends in this city
we have assembled from various sections o
the country, to consider what more can ht
done, for the three millions of slaves in thcs,
United States; wlnt new lubors and sncrifi

we desire, at all events, TO lit up Our voices
III continued rebuke, Of the transcendent aud
oyershadowing iniquiiy Of this nation.
The Free power Of the United Stntcs on
the one hand, aud the Slave power on the
other, are the parties TO the great struggle in
which we are engaged; aud | propose, in
the outset, to guuce nt the position and rel
ailve strength of these c0ntcnding forces.
and 'hen To deduce such conclusions us facts
may warrant, bearing upon the question of
present duty.
What do we understand Ivy the Slave Pow

ly, IN the shareholders of the country mum

at u very liberal calculation. The entire
white population of the Slave States, accord
ing to the late census, is six millions, one
hundred aud siXty-niue thousand, four hun.
'lred aud thirty-eight. The shareholders
therefore, constitute only about one hptniy-
MN of this number; or in other words, Tor
every snvehuder, there are tireniy fire uou-
slnvelolders, or twcnty-fonr twenty -liHhs of
the people having no direct connection with
slavery. II we include the whole population
OF the South, white aud colorcd, bond and
free, the Shareholders will only amount 10
about eJortieh Of the aggregate, that is TO
say, thirty-nlne iurliclhs OF the whole will

calculation the entire present population of
Tie Union, setting it down in round numbers
nt twenty-five millions, (Which cannot he far
from tie trutl,) the shareholders will cunsIi-
tnte only one-hundrcdM part of the same,
leaving ninely-nine hundrcdths of the people

and insigniGcance of this don,incering oil
garchy Of the SOUTH Le says:
But let us turn now to the other side of
The picture, and contemplate the strength of
the slave power, judged 10y what we know Of
It's actual achievements. The slnvciullers

terlnine all things according to the cOunspls
of their own will. They say to the polite

The moral pulse of the nation, and il ceases

before the dread authority of these men.-
They nre the reigning lords and masters of
the people, white aud black. Look at the
facts. They hold in the most Calling bond
age more than three millions OF their fellow
creatures, being over twelve times their own
number. They keep in suhieclion and corn-
purative slavery, six millions of their own
race in the South, who dare not even muir
;nur at their lot. They lord it over fourteen
millions OF people in the Free States, sub
sldlzing the leaders in church aud state, to
their purpose, debuuching the public senli-
ment OF the country, and pragnutically an
nouncing, aud lhen enforcing the conditions
upon which the Union shall be pres rved.-
