Ii Is true, too true alas that our fathers were

the trite argument founded the earlier example OF
England. Il Is true that mother country st the

with the Spanish Colonies, as the whole price OF all the
blood Of eres. victories that she higged at AK s-
ChapeDe for another lease of this exclusive traffic

ON South Carolina 10 DO the very eyu do-day which
in another generation We Confemn.
A. the Senator ffom South Carolins is the Don Quix
Ote, the Senator from Illinois Mr.. Douglasl u the
squire of Slavery, its very SanchO Panza, ready to do
NJ It's Lumiliaug offices. THIS Senator in his .sbored
mase of elaborate upon another mssscons;raned
himrslf. a. YOU will remember, 20 unfamiliar decen-
ci,s OF speech OF that address have nothing 70 say
al tLis moment though before slt down shall show
something of ia falacies. But 20 back now TO an
earlier occasion when true o his na,iye impulses, he
threw into this discussion. for charm Of powerful
trouble personalities most discreditable to this
BODY will not stop to repel the imputatlons which
he cast upon myself but mention them to remind you
of the " sweltered venom sleeping got, which, with
other poisoned ingredients he cast into the caudron of
this debate. OF other things | speak. Standing on
this floor the Senator issued his rescrpt requiring sub
IN .son to the u.urped power Of Kansas and this was
accompanied by manner-al his oTn-such as behts
the tyrsnnica threat.
Very well. Let the Senator try. tell HIM now tha,
be cannot enforce any such submission. The Senstor,
with the Slave Power at his back IA strong bat he IS
not strong enough for this purpose. He Is bold. He
shrinks from nothing. Like Danton he may cry,
"Fduddcei iduddce! tOuJOurs PJHddce'' but even
his audacity cannot compass this work. The Senstor
copies the British Officer who with boasfu swagger,
sad that with the hit of bis sword he would cram the
"stamps" down the tbroats of the American people
and he will meet simia failure He may convulse
thi- country with civil feud Like the ancient mad
man he may set fire Ia this vast Temple OF Constitu-
tona Liberty, grander than Ephesian dome; but he
cannot enforce obedience to that tyrannca usupson.
The Senator creams that he can subdue the North
lie dsclams the open threat but bis conduct still i'm
plies it. How little that Senator knows himself, or the
rength of the cause which he persecutes lie but
a mortal man. against him ia an immortal prnciPe.
With finite power he wrestes with the infinite and he
must fall Against him stronger battaliohs than
any narshaed by mortal aunthe iuborn ineradica6le
yincible -entInents Of the human heart against him

Let him try to subdue these.
