The Re-. TuEODORE PARKER said, there are times
that try the souls of men, times Of diversity and OF rev
olution and in such times there always souls that
cannot stand the rack There are also times that try
Institutions times of prosperity aud unexampled @eslth
1t is in such times that our institutions put to the
test. WIN they stand it For a nation to work hap
PLY there must be in it unity Two cannot walk to-
QeLer unless they be agreed Have We this unity OF
ideas air ard means Let us look and see Wehavelhe
American idca that all men are born with equal, III
aliehalle rights. The idea Of eedom which tends to
Democracy. This idea had it, eliminating time IN the
year l716, and in this very place Of Faneu Hall UP
Wonder is the man whom Government opposed TO this
idea proclaimed its hero when IT said he could neither
be cOaXed nor bought. That was glorious old Samuel
Adams. But have in this nation anOtner idea-the
idea Of slaveryand it has its eliminating point to
space in the City Of Washington, and as 10 time, III
1854. Can these two ideas work tremendously No.
They are inc0mmensurable terms they are antago-
nstic powers They never live peaceaby together
Ever since the establishment OF this country there has
been hostility between them. Twice Freedom has pre-
vailed in this warfare First in l7s7, when By sol
ordinance, Slavery was forever prohibited IN the
Northwest Territory; and second, when 1t was
enacted that TIE foreign slave trade-not the domestic
regret to say should he annhilated, in lr0S These
victories were in the early youth of our Republic,
while The impulse of the Revolution was not lost, and
the Declaration of Independence had not come t. be
regarded as idle rhetoric.
Since that period Slavery has been constantly advanc
inc, and nine times has il trumphed and freedom been
into eleven to the ground First Slavery legslated
the Constitution know that in this opinion, differ
frcm ofmy free soil friends | am sorry for IT,
wish they were right But the North wanted Union
for the sake of trade, and therefor she submitted to
have five slaves counted three freemeD, and this
put into the Constitution as well as clause to
restore Fugitive Slaves The second victory was when
Kentucky admitted to the Union as Slave State
The third was, when the first Fugitive Slave bill was
passed in 1898. The purchase OF the Louisiana Ter
itory with Slavery in 1853 leading 10 the admission
of Louisiana as Slave State in 1879, the fourth
victory. The fifth was, carrying Slavery west OF the
Mississippi and establishing Missouri Slave State.
For this got the pledge which 1t is proposed 70
withdraw The sixth step of this onward progress OF
despOtism was thePurchase of the fine Territory of
Florida and establishing il as n State with Con-
stution which Orbd its legislature 10 pass act
emancipatng the slaves The seventh great extension
Of Slavery aud the slave power by the annexation
of the vast region of Texas and the reestsbishment
Of Slavery when it had been abolished even by bar
barOus Mexico The next was the prosecution OF the
Mexican war to extend the OF Slavery The ninth
and last victory was called the Compromise Of 1850,
including the Fugitive Slave bill, the extension of
Slavery to New. Mexico and Utah, and the payment of
Sl0CO00 600 TO Texas 10 enable her TO concOct other
schemes for the extension Of that which she re
stated after il had been abolished on her own soil.
Aud now il is proposed that the slave power sna take
another stride toward the entire control Of our des
MES and the entire prOsratOn Of freedom on the CONT
nent Why is il that Slavery has in short time
taken these nine consecutive steps each more mpuden
and dangerous to liberty than It's predecessor why
has II been checked in is career Is II because we
love Slavery / do not believe that Ii is because
the South loves Slavery and is faithful to it, 1t is be-
cause, though We love Liberty, We are not faithful to
it, You have heard Of John Adams ose of the fathers
