MR.. BUTLERs SPEECH.
The Hon. BENZ F. BUTLER was then introduced,
His appearance evidently created feeling of unusual
satisfaction, which manifested by loud cheers and
clappng of hands. He spoke as follows:
Mr.. President: In March last, preparatory to the
holding the great meeting the Tabernacle to protest
Against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise law 1890
engaged appear that meeting, and to address my
citizens upon that important and momentous ques
tion. severe attack of influenza prevented me from
being present at the meeting In the letter of apology
made pledge that strength and voice nd be
sufficiently restored to would on any proper occar
sion meet with my felowcitizens in any remonstrance
is inquty half effected. tAppsuse.l an here
70 redeem that pledge. But felow,stizen, Ihave but
lust recovered from the sickness with which then
visited This is the first real trial to which have put
either voice strength and II is pretty ordeal %
begin in the open air. but, feow-ctzens, though fear
may not be enabled TO offer to you all would desire osay
on this most interesting and momentous occasion yet
can do the brave Gen. Miller did when he was asked at
Lundys Lane Can you take that battery and spike tne
cannon - - try He succeeded may fail but If
do there other brave soldiers behind who will be abe
with your hearty cheers and voices, to spike the
cannon of the enemies Of human freedom. APP
plausel Mr.. President and fellow-citzens we have
assembled under circumstances Of peculiar inter
est and solemnty. When in the early part Of the
last winter proposal TO repeal the eighth section OF tne
Missouri Compromise of 1920 that section which secures
10 territory broad and extensive as the original thirteen
States the blessings of freedom and forever orbds the
tread of the slave the stakeholder when the proposal
repeal this great ordinance of freedom was s'eaiihiy
covery, and in most cowardly way brought before the
Senate of the United States, the people OF TINS Unon
especay the people of the free States were ncreduous
They could not be brought to believe thar was possible
that any number of the representatives OF this nation IN
Congress assembled-least OF all 'na' any NUMBER OF rep
reeetatives from the free states could be possessed
with the sprt Of maass of folly and OF wekedness, as
seriously TO enter upon that work OF shame II was not
until il was found that the who entered upon TINS
work were really in earnest that they were banded To-
gether repeal in some way get rd OF ths orance
of freedom. Il until it was discovered fhat tnere
was design 10 force the BILL with that infamous proyl
SON tbrourh the Senate before the people could
understand II and raly-I say 1t was not until
this disclosure ha. the people o .n ,oS ~ NY mn N

loud note of remonstran, e-of indignant reprooauon-
proceeded from every city I'd town ana nanes N ne

TIDE of popular indignation that tn authors 9l ,le
they had in the meantime ucceeded IN carrying
the bill through the Senate seemed q. ee pasa. sy
