SLAVERY a CURSE"

The Shareholders give us some rare specimens Of

declared that slavery was an evil-a curse-and
yet he would defend it with his hearts blood
There is patriot and moralst of the approved
American pattern. The following is passage in
discussion which took place in the House q day
or two previous to adjournment Of congress-
Mr. SOLLERS. The very instant the Senator
from Massachusetts Mr.. Wilson was elected, he
was denounced all over the country. 1t was said
the Union would be broken up! But what did
the Senator say on a late memorable night of the
session? Hear his words 81 would not say, as
my colleague said, l would not restore fugitive
slave to his master; but if the law Of Masssachu-
setts will not do it, I'll help to do it myself" Do
you call Senator Wilson a Know-N Nothing? Be it
so. Under the old regime, who was sent to the
Senate from Massachusetts by the Democratic par
ty? Mr.. Sumner, Cries Of No! No! Yes! Yes,
he was elected by the Democrats. | understand
Mr.. Sumner was sent to the Senate by the Demo
cratic party of that State.
Mr.. KEIrT would ask, if the recent letter writ
ten by Mr.. Wilson to the editor of the American
Organ was pronounced so conservative, how was
it, that last night every sentiment and line of it
was endorsed by the gentleman from Ohio? Mr..
Giddings. lie said if the same questions had
been propounded to him, and he called on to an
swer as curtly and Omprehensively, he should have
used the very words.
Mr.. OLIVER said the Slavery question was the
only subject which threatened serious disturbance
of the Union. The gentleman alluded to Senator
Wilson, and endorsed every sentiment of his
speech with inexpressbe delight We under
stand Mr.. Burlingame made h in presence

his voice should never be hushed, nor his abort

SPEECH OF
HON. ENRY WILSON
IN THE U. s. SENATE, FEB. %, 1855.

On tie Bill to protect persons execution tie Fugaire
Stare act from prosecution IN State COlnts.
Mr.. President, have no desire to mingle in this
excited any angry debate, which has 50 unexpec-
tedly sprung up; but the tone and temper of the
remarks which the Senator from Tennessee Mr..
Jones has seen fit to indulge in towards my friend
from Connecticut Mr.. Gillette, and the extraor-
dinary language he has applied to Senators from
my section of the Union, should not be permitted
to pass unnoticed. Sir, the Senator from Tennes-
see, with bitterness of manner, has denounced the
Senator from Connecticut, and other Senators who
oppose this measure as little band of traitors"
men who "treacEerous" to their country.
This is extraordinary language, Mr. President, to
apply to honorable Senators upon this floor for
acting in accordance with their convictions of pub
lie duty. That Senator may, if he chooses, class
me with the little band of traitors" for assure
him, the Senate, and the country, that shall not
shrink, in this hour Of their weakness from stand
ing side by side, with men who, amid abloquy,
sneers, and reproaches, have faithfully and fear
lessly vindicated the sentiments of the freemen
whose representatives they are. Sir the honora-
bic Senator from Tennessee would do well to re-
member that the Senators to whom he has applied
such language represent on this floor the opinion
OF at least one million of the intelligent voters OF
the Republic, and that they sustained by the
action OF fifteen sovereign states. Cheered by the
approving voice of the people and by the con-
sclousness OF growing power, the Senators he haa
tauntingly denounced will not be deferred by cpl
thets, no matter how prolusely he may apply
them, from the vindication Of their cherished
convictions. l intend to tell you, gentlemen OF
the South where we of the North stand upon this
exciting and disturbing question of slavery and
what We purpose to do. intend to deal frank y
with you in regard to this question in which you
and your people are so deeply interested.
Sir, have not an unkind word to utter towards
my friends from the South. God knows have not
an unkind feeling in my heart towards them or
those who they represent. trust that | have a
heart large enough to embrace in its affections the
whole country, and every man that breathcs the
air or treads the soil of the Republic, be that man
black or white. | have no war to make and
those whom represent have no war to make up
on the Senators from the South or the people o.
the South. To me- sir, the proudest master anl
the lowest bondmen are alike brethren and iel
! low countrymen.
Sir, l believe, and the people Of Massachusetts
believe, that slavery is violation of the holy
commands to love our neighbor, and TO do unit
others as we would that others should do unto US

On LIES DARK rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone that we
Account IL but dream.

or Times old iron heart,
Which tireless Is, and strong as When

What is years IT'S but turn

Or but a page upon the book
Which Time must shortly seal.
It's but a step upon the road
Which we must travel Ger;
A few more steps, and we shall walk
Lies weary road no more.
What is yeary 'Tis but breath
From Times old nostril's blown,
As rushing onward DER the earth,
We hear his weary moan,
IT'S like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn
As transient us the mist of morn,
Beneath the Summers sun.
What is year, IT'S but type
Of life's oft changing scene
Youths happy morn comes gaily on,
With hills and valleys green;
Next summers prime succeeds the spring,
Then autumn with u tear,
Then comes old winter death and all
Must find level here. s f4.
