After tsdrp the resolutions which received with
mueb appsu.e Mr. EMMET said he might have alluded TO
he evils of Slavery but he had carefully avoided all I'M
necessary auson to irritating topics Whether Slavery
was or was rot right not then the question. Inc
matter to be considered whether solemn treaty
should be preserved in al is integrity He might have
alluded to the eouuen opinions expressed oy
wrs themselves OF the evils OF Slavery in contrasting
he foursbinp growth of Ohio with the worn out and
efete Virginia But fcrbear Suffice it that all 81 US
nj The North end at the South fully aware Of the bar
rer that Slavery is TO all progress for IN the words OF an
oracle Wherever the labor of countrys performer
by slaves there labor dishonors the hands OF the free
"man." Cheers.
Jydpe IMMET's speech was listened to with great aen-
ton, and frequently greeted with applause
Mr. JAMES W. GERARD lawyer OF this City, was the next
sneaker He said II is true of New York as expressed in
the int resolution that the citizens Of the Empire City
have always been conservative They were so in 1850
when the Union in danger they rallied at Castle Gar
den and fred the rst gun to celebrate the Compromise
hses and applause 1t because they are conservative
that men of al parties meet here TO might to do justice to
the South had the honor Of firing the first gun
for her in $780, and trust shall ever be foremost
in aiding her 10 obtain her rights, and rejoice
tberest when they are secured to her avn no
politician nor party man. i here tonight the ad-
yocae of no political creed but having studied this sub
ject with all the analytical closeness Of judge and acting
upon the principle Of old David Crockett be sure you
"are right, and then 60 ahead have come mere 10
night to bid the South beware OF nfllcung mp. a "a
stab TO her interests and honor have come here 10
night to unite my voice with yours, in solemn appear
to the nation, against this shameless violation
Of most sacred treaty mee ' ns ,7sg e isao
and 1880 given above in the speech OF Judge Emmet
He also took the ground the foregoing in the con
sruoton of the meanings Of these several treaties But
he said he could well understand why an aspiring young
Caesar like Douglas, wanting to clutch the golden crown
of the Presidency should make this overture to the South
Iiisses and cheers He said that be made no war az
against Senator Douglas He was personal friend OF
that gentleman The Committee argue that the Compro
mise Of 1850 succeeds the Compromise OF 1920 Inc
speaker would like to know if Henry Clay thought mat
and 1850. Did any Of the Southern men make war
against the COmPromse No. it was raised BY the po
mise argued that i was unconstitutional The speaker
then proceeded TO date at length upon the amend
ments which had been offered by Mr. Douglas.
MIR Gerard said there two kinds of legislation
one of which allowed States TO make govern them
sees and the other allowed them to make compromises
which nevocable and binding the eonsciences of
repeal any compact compromise entered into between
man and or made by the members of such legisla
turc What would be the practical argument he asked,
Congress should say TO that the compact was
no He appealed to the spirits of the South, and
asked them to break the Compromise if they
could 1t could never be broken No foundation
was fixed upon too firm basis The compact would be
sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States tho
highest judicial tribunal in the land if the matter should
reach there. When he heard the matter proclaimed by
Southern men, and not by Western politicians he should
take notice of it, The Southern could not take
the ground that the Compromise was unconstitutional
The South lie said should have fair play. The grand
argument upon the constituonality. If they took
the ground of unconstitutonay the common sense OF all
mankind wO@a rise up against ,1em tbor nss
and he had heard tell Of a. case in which
thief after getting his share, raised quarrel for
the of getting the share OF an. n,S Rs as IA
sad right for the South to come in at this late day to re
pudate the compact made with them by the North on the
grounds Of unconstitutionaty. He would advise the
South to take other grounds. They have received
and have enjoyed and all We ask OF them is to carry
out the bargain made in good faith ny the people
for territories for sixty years and for sixty five
years of that period no man or no party had ever
raisod such an objection to a Compromise as this.
Tie speaker proceeded in elaborate argument to show
that Congress could not nulify their own laws He said
asked who creates all this agitation created
by the Committee in Congress- who bring in bill which
opens old sores. They to keep quiet, don't agi
tate the matter let Douglas have his bill He could
pare IL Ia nothing but incendiary who fires your build
Tie fugitive slave law was glded pill but after ali
bitter pill for the North to swallow. He helped to
gid that pill; He held in his hand a speech which he
made at the time Of the passage Of that b-hisses and
the law ard the North had sustained that law the letter.
lie would SO help him God stand up to defend the Com
promise of the North and the South and he would advise
politicians to beware they were hand edged tools II
the Compromise of 1850 can be thus ted with, what will
become Of all compacts Is lie said all the work OF
politicians f. the purpose of making capital The
patons of these men he detesed they could not ride
into power smooth road they raise whwind and
AMID the confusion of the moment obtain the power they
wished.
The speaker continued at considerable length, conclud
