odious amendments Of lasl.. over both thea
territories,
Sd. BY the repeal of Tho Compromise, you
have reaaved the prohibition of Slavery fa1'd
the territories, and at the same time your inr'i-
nous bill enacts that these territories CT any
mart of thesamc, whea admitted as States, shall
he received into tbs Union with or without
Slavery, as their consultation shall prescribe
Has the South yielded anything rhoy have
not. While tho suuth have saved to themselves
every advantage 10 he derived from the NissauIi
Compromise, the North have been basoly be-
trayed and shamcfully sacrificed. II is haTd to
set you ard p majority of Congress down as a
worthless Tang of Fillibusters but Yug have
Tirated upon the free States-rohhsi tho:a OF
the consideration which induced thpm to enter
inta the compromise of 1920, and then enforced
the eaad;t;ans against them. M wandor the
clcrgy of New England invoked Almighty God
to witness their protest against this cot, iir it
is net only u breach faith that would do credit
to the Ingenuity Of Charles l., who justly at
toned lar his pcrldy ON the scafoa, bat 1t is one
Of the NEST objectionable nsalts eyer offered TO
any people. When such games arc played with
us, it is time the whole North took the advice
Of Oliver Cromwell to his soldiers--to trust in
Cod, and keep their powder dry
We have just concluded !, reciprocity treaty
with England, by which we have agreed to adj
NIT certain productions Of Canada free of duty,
and England has guaranteed TO US tho freedom
of the fisheries. Suppose Canada should send
her productions to our seaboard until Spring,
free Of duty, and just as our vessels were ready
to start for the fishing grounds, the British
Cabinet should issue an order in council doclar-
ing that treaty null and void, and at the same
time, in the most precmptory manner, require
US to execute the conditions of the treaty. and
receive tho productions of Canada duty free,
would not every American bosom swell with in
dgnation at the insult Should we not say to
England ''0ur vessels will 60 upon the fishing
grounds; and if you interfere in the least, SON
trary to tho rights granted us by the treaty,
you shall have war to the knife We will pun
ish your pcrHdy. and humble your pride. il it
costs us the last drop Of our blood. and the last
cent of our money!" Such would be onr IAN
guase, if we had the spirit of mon. And where
! ask, is the difference! England by annuling
! the treaty, takes from US the consideration that
induced lis to eater into it, while she seeks to
enforce the conditions beneficial to hers IT. You,
ly the repeal Of the compromise, take fron she
free States the consideration that induced them
to enter into that compromise, while you en-
force every condition beneficial to the South.
| Cannot say bHt the North may submit TO
this. They have licked Il great deal of Soothcrn
Spistlc, and mmy be induced, by a set Of politi-
cal Jockeys and gamblers for Office, to lick up
this. Our bible tells us there is sin we arc
not bound to Pray for, and SHOULD the free
States tameiy submit to this insult, let 10 good
man &.y hereafter, God bless them - f,r
they vii! not he worth praying for.
