The evils Of Slavery were--- m sal

The States ii which il existed. M aaf

is'Ocracy,,o place all The lands in large
estates and in the hands Of a few, and
10 destroy entirely tho middle glasses.
3. That,he eyslcm was destructive
not only Of rhe liberty Of The colured but
ofihe white population, and not only Of
the white population Of the Slave States
bul also Of tue Free States. e
These he considered in The order
named. Under the frat head ha remark
cd, that Free Schools iu the North de-
yeloped ihe mind of,he Norihern laboIer
and taught hiniSio control the powers Of
Nature, hence The manufacturing spirit
so universal throughout The Mouth
Though Conventions at Memphis and
other places might resolve and re-resolye
10 bscpme lheit own manufacturers, IL
would be Of no avail, because three mill
flans Of the laboring mind Of the Souib
was 10 slolid ignorance-- could no, reld
and consequently could not control
those powers Of nature necessary for The
successful prosecution Of manufacturing
enterprise. AS the capitalist cnuld mol
make manufacturing profitable, he was
obliged 10 investin land, and the result
was 10 place the lsnd in the h,nds Of n
few and to destroy The middle classes
Towns and cities in the Slave States de-
clned after q certain perisd.
Madison, Scoti ard Bonrboru counties
had decreased il population 33 per cent.
since the last census. H. was true thai
Baltimore ana 81. Louis had steadily pro-
crossed, but tkis was because these cities
bad p,seh a largo iuttsioh Of men from
Northern States. The non-slayeholding
whi,es, which we're in the proportion or
2 10 |, were oppressed almost as mush as
tho slaves. !, was irne ilat tho slave
holders could moi legally intefdici their
learning 10 read and write, as in The case
VI the slaves, bun they did il as sffectual
ly BY preventing HE establishment Of
Free Scbepls. They openly avnwed lIiat
Common School cduca;ion aHd Slavery
were Incompatible.
The lecturer stated that he was Kerr
iuckian, but he said IL without boas,ing,
and there were frw Keniuckians tha,
could make tho statement without boast.
KenMcky was the freea Of the Slave
Sta,es, aili the onty one thai allowed the
Cous,itntion ODE carried out. But when
in the Mexican War--a war undertaken
IN keep nj, the snpreni;cy. moi the cquali.
", Of the Slave Sisies--ihe bona and
sinow Of Kcntuky had been called on to
ehlisi, not single commission was Issued
~ aHon.slSyeho der in tho entire State.
Tbors were jnst as determined an ariso,
erscy in the Slave States as ever existed
lathe histery Of tho world.
IN South Carolina tho viva yoce systom
ei voting prevailed, and when il was pro,
posed in convention 10 alter this TO The
secret bsllo,, il had been opposed, and
the groued Of the opposition as stated by
Mr.. Marshall was, because he wished TO
preserve ,lis wholesome influence which
the landlord hoids over the tenant. There
were no manufaclures there except lit.
Gle NEEDING ofold boots ard old carriages;
they did not oven make their own hoe,
handles. The material for which grow al
their doors, buiimpor,ed them, and there
fore tho laborine wLiie man could find no
employment but 10 become the tenant OF
some woalhy landlord. The landlord
says to him in effect, "Our fore fathers
were unwise enough 10 give you the rigi,,
ofvoilng, bu, wo will tako care 10 render
this a nullity, fer. wo will either control
yosr vote OF you may take up your bed
and walk.n (Applause.) He could not
see hsw Northern freemcn could unite
lhemselycs wilbthe Democracy OF South
Carolina, the least democratic Of all the
Siaies in the Union.
Under The third head, he remarked
ihss the South had actually retrograded
under tlis lytrany, and had lost, since
shs Beyolslion, the right OF debate, the
sighiofpeti,ion. the liberty Of spsech and
ofsho press, Of immunity from search in
person and papers, the right Of pos.-affice,
Of trial by jury, and Of confronting wit
nesses face TO face. All those great
principles which were supposed 10 lay
81 the foundation ofshe Brilish Consitu.
fion had been lost since the Revolution
BY ihe slasoocracy.
II was q, the present time a law o.
Kentucky thotif any man be suspected
OF sseslipg slave o: OF an intention tc
ateal one, he could be brought before a
magistrate, and without trial thrown in
