; lis members turned pale and fled aghast
= \ eS, Tennessee, in her mighty million, feels
secure, aud IN her perfect preparations to
discuss this question politically, eccGsiast-
cally, morally, metaphysically, or physical
ly, with the extreme North or South; she
is willing and able to persuade others to be
calm. In this connection, ] wish to say,
for the South to North, and to the world
that We have no fears from our Slave popu-
lation. There might be a momcntary in
surrection and hloodshed, but Obstruction
10 the blaclrman would be inevitable The
Greeks and Romans controlled immense
masses Of white slaves, many Of them as
intelligent as their lords. Schoolmasters,
fabulss, and poets were slaves. Athens,
with her thirty thousand freemen, governed
half a million of bond men. Single Ro-
man partricianS owned thirty thousand.
If, then, the phalauX and the legion mas
tered such slaycsfor ages, when battle was
physical force Of man to man. how certain
it is that infantry, artillery and cavalry
could hold in bondage millions Of Africans
for a thousand years.
The great question of the world is, What
is 10 be Tie future Of The Americ,n Sl,res
Hhat is 10 be The future Of he american
.Hdaer? The following Gdraet from The
Charleston Mercury gives my views on the
subject, with great and condensed particu-
larity.
Married, Thursday, 26th instant. the
Hon. Gushing Kewang, Secretary of State
of the United States, to Laura, daughter
of Paul Coligny, Vice President of the
United States, and one of our noblcst
Husuenot families. We learn that this
distinguished gentleman, with bis bride,
will visit his father, the Emperor Of China,
at his summer place, in Tartary, north of
Pekin, and returned TO the Vice Presidents
tea pavilion, on Cooper river, ere the
meeting Of Congress"
The editor of the Mercury goes on to
say:
This marriage in high life is only one
of many which have sgnaliZcd that i'm
mcnSe emigration from christianized China
during the last seventy-fve years, whereby
Charleston has population Of $50 900,
and the State Of South Carolina over s.
000, ,000-an emigration which has won
derfully hNrmonized with the great exodus
of the negro race Of Africa"
Some gentleman here requested to-
know Of DR.. Ross, the date Of the Charles
ton Mercury, recording this marriage
The DR.. replied the date is 25th May,
1858, exactly one hunrded years from this
day. Great laughter. I'm .l..u
Sir, this IS a dream, but it is not all a
dream. No, / verify believe you have
there the Gordian knot Of slavery united.
You have there the solution Of the prob
lem. You have there the curtain up, and
the last act of the great drama of Ham. =,
l am satisfied with the tendencies of
things. / stand on the mountain peak,

upon the Niger, black with death to-
the white man-instinct with life to the
children Of Ham. There is the black
mans home Oh! how strange not you
Of the North see not how you degrade
him when you keep him here. You
will not let him vote. You will not
let him hold pew in your church. Send
him away then. Tell him begone. Be
urgent like the Egyptians; send him out
Of this land. There, in his fatherland, he
will exhibit his own type Of Christianity.
He is Of all races the most gentle and kind.
The man, the most submissive; the ttomaa,
the most affectionate What other slaves
would love their masters better than them
selves; rock them and fan them in their
cradles; caress them, how tenderly, boys
and girls; honor them, grown up, as supe-
rior beings; aud in thousands of ilusrious
instances be willing to give life and in fact
die to serve or save them? Verify, verify,
this emancipatcd race may reveal the most
amiable form of spiritual life, and the
jc,oei may glitter on the Ethiopian's brow
in meaning more sublime than all in the
poets imagery Brethren, let them 90;
and when they are gonc-aye, before they
go away--rear a monument; let it grow in
your heart in lasting memory of the South; /;
in memory of your. wrong to the South /;
in memory Of the self denial Of the South,
and her philanthropy in training the slaves
to be free, enlightened, and christians.
Can all this be? Can this double cmi-
grafton civilize Africa, and more than re-
people the South? Yes; and l regard the
difficulties presented here, in Congress or
the country, as little worth. God intends
intends both emigrations. And without
miricle, he will accomplish both. Difficult
ties. These are no difficulties. Half mil
lion emigrate to our shores from ireland
and all Europe every year. And you
gravcly talk of difficulties in the negro's
way to Africa. Verify, God will unfold
their destiny as fast and as fully as he sees
best for the highest good of the slaves, the
highest good Of the master, and the glory
