Mr.. FUREEss said:
Mr. president: 80 sincerely deprecae the expectation
Of speech from nc on this OCCASION that although 1t il
not exactly good taste to begin with talking about one
self yet must be allowed to say that have come hlther
on is OCCASION much 10 make speech as 10 take
sides Ii appears TO me 1t is not question OF sPeeches OF
whether man can speak well or Ill, or not at ALL Du That
this Is the question namely what side he 49, ana thank
those gentlemen who have invited me hter for the oppo
funiy OF committing self again and retrevaby TO the
great cause OF humanity. lAppauseJ Besides, l am
iimd man, and like to be on The safe side ana on the
strong side ApPlausse'I l do ar not 'hnk M haDo No
the Pro-Slavery side, though j should have the
President his Cabinet and all Congress to back me.
l.aughter And besides again it is difficult to make
speech. When l am in the pulpit have notes
before me, and there is restraining grace there
but upon this free platform it is difficult to speak
in any measured terms upon Slavery and at the
present time when We think what is doing at
Washington, IT seems to me every one VINO rises
to speak the subject with heart IN his bosom,
il seems TO me his words must die away III shrek
Of horror and indignation. lApplause. l recollect,
thirty forty years ago, and nearly all who are old
enough to recoect SO far back have similar recoectonl
when the subject OF slavery was mentioned our elders
used shake their heads, look grave, and say: Ah
there is the danger; that is the thing which going to
"wolk the ruin OF this country; that the black cloud
(which will grow bigger and bigger, aud at last send out
terble lightning TO dash to pieces the fabric OF Amer
"ean freedom" This the universal anticipation;
fearful looking forth of deadly mischief from that quarter
and the way and the form III which the mischief expected
was 10 come by nsunection. 1t expected that
the blacks would increase such degree that they woud
at last rise upon their masters that the terrors oi OIL
Domingo would be reenacted here on larger anu
more frighul scale and that, when war
between the two began, itwould terminate IN .he M
establishment of black empire over nearly ohe-hal tne
country. The dread of nsurrecton has now Amos. en- en-
rely died away. Ii does not appear TO DC ieareu .a o
colood people-that the slaves-wll ever rise o the
selves ana the reckless determination with winch slavery
seeks to enlarge her borders more aud more, LOOKING
greedy eve on Mexico, Cuba, the River Amazon ana e
remotest parts of the earth shows how distant na ua
in the apprehension of the South wheh 'ho ~ oao T S
rise am free TO admit that think there Is very he m
danger of an nsurrecton and for two reasons FIRST he
character of the coored themselves so genie anu ~
docile The fact that nearly tour mniYhs VI ne. %

The second fact which is our protection agams,

word for ncendary and hrebrand but the existence

Is so little prospect of insuecon or any danger TO t
country from that quarter II does not by any means oov
that Slavery can do evil Evil II has done ana
doing us; the very greatest mischief While we wer'
looking for Slavery produce its evil consequence
