the area Of human chattIedom. Do you
understand me, sir? Yes, we thank God
we haze such men as Wilson, Seward
Sumner, and a Chase; men who, know.
ing the right have the nerve to contend
for it, men Of undoubted integrity and a.
blIity, whose patent Of nobility comes
from Heaven. And mark ye, gentlemen
Of the South, the days Of hunkeysm at
the North are numbered. The Northern
aunkies are all dead and damnedl and
ii ever another one appears 10 your Wis
ion, rest well assured he is Legitimate
We have elected twenty one Rspresen-
tatives from Ohio, all pledged for Inc re-
peal ofthis Nebraska injquity; and you
will find, when they arrive there, you
will have an accession Of just twenty -one
Hales and Wilson's on that question,
t0ith mol a funkey among them. We in
Ohio do not threaten them with political
death only, but have resolved that if they
do not stand up to the right, in opposition
TO the encroachments Of the Slavery
propagandsts, we will hang them high as
Haman! Long and loud applause. ]
A Agentleman from Alabama cries out,
douglas was from the Norlh!" Ford
replied: so was Benedict Arnold! The
British took the traitor and we retained
the territory. Our Southern brethren
have taken the territory and left US the
traitor. They had ought to protect if
they do not despise him. Applause
and laughter.
Now, Mr.. President, we Of Ohio pro.
test against this plank, as unjust, and
unrighteous. The majority of our dele
gates are from Virginia, the sons other
soil; and Virginia in the purer days Of
her commonwealth, taught US the lessons
OF liberty. You well remember by The
cecession your State made to the gener-
al Government Of the Northwest terrific,
ry, you Virginians expressly stipulated
that neither Slavery nor involuntary SER
vitude should ever exist therein except,
for the punishment of crime. We then,
under The ordinance Of 'e7 are the first
born in the cause of Freedom; and in
Ohio, your children have resolved 10
carry out your will by seeing TO it that
Slavery never does exist there; and we
are prepared and determined to resist
its encroachments upon soil consecrated
to Freedom. Yes Virginians! remem.
ber this; that with warm hearts end
strong arms, your sons will stand up for
Liberty and Right; and Ohio, cemented
: as sne is with the mighty West, is ire
sistabe as the armies of Israel. Striking
for the faith once delivered to the Saints
2 we strike for Human Freedom and Hu.
man Rights! Cheers cries of''go on
+ A voice in the crowd, "You had
J better come in Virginia and see our con-
, dition." Ford answered: We have been
in your State and all over it. We know
the situation of your population both
, white and LACK. We know that Virginia
] in this age of advancement has retrogra'
5 ded; and that the white and black races
both suffer under the scourge of Slavery.

from one 10 two hundred negroes were
