trade, and the people of the South went for it.
Now we know that provision is made in the con.
~stitution whereby this matter as TO slavery may be
ordered in two ways. One is the action of the
two Houses Of Congress. the other is by conven.
tions OF the people. Now, the effect Of pruhihit-
Ing the slave trade is simply this; While the North
has this northwes territory to invite emigration,
we Of the Scuth-both white and black, | mean
were restricted to counting out five negroes ms but
three. We knew, as everybody now sees, that
immigration could not come into competition with
slave labor, and the consequence was that all the
immigration went to the North. The effect OF that
must be, as time is now developing itthnt in course
of time, by natural increase and by immigration
the North will have the constitutional pow Ell, which
the strength of numbers gives them, to change our
constitution and to abolish slavery, if they think
proper. The next mistake was in the repeal OF
the twenty. first rule, by which free negroes ana
abolitiouists OF every hue were authorized TO SEM
petitions and papers to Congress, insulting TO the
southern representatives and people, ana to pros,
tituto the United States mail to carrying them anu
giving them circulation.
[Mr. Brooks referred also to the Missouri Com
promise and the Compromise Of 1850. as measures
of-mistaken policy on the part Of the South, which
should have been strcnnously resisted
THIS DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF Tue NORTH,
Now, fellow-Citizens as to the democratic party
of which | am a sort Of n member, and not very
much Of one, unless voting for buchanan which

They will stand by the constitution, but catch any

Now, fellow-citizens, the democratic party wa'
somewhat responsible-nay, it was to a very grea
extent responsible-for that act. And yet It is d
party with which South Carolina will now affiliate
and | think rightly. The democratic party has
conducted the affairs of this nation, from its organ
ization, with success and glory.nhd under its inhu-
ence the greatness of the country has increased.
Now, it cannot be denied that the Northern de-
mocracy. with all their faults, magnanimuusly
honorably and faithfully fulfilled their pledge
They did give you IA Fugitive Slave law, which
is now on your statute book. They did repeal the
Missouri Compromise, which was an insult to every
man Suuth Of it.
he COMPLAINS OF THE WANT OF PLUCK AMONG TIL
BLACK REPUBLICANS.
Do you believe that il Charles Sumner had Civ
en- me n Gaming, they would have arrested him ant
tried him? No: they would have sung psalms q
glory over it. The most stupid thing | ever kneN
was, that there was not some man who had sens
or pluck enough to fight.
There never was 50 strong an inducement for
man to offer himself to be shot at since the wOrl
began; and | really thought there was some ma
among them who, from pride or ambition, woul
have incurred the risk.
Now, these northern ngitators call themselve
free and think it q great compliment the

much as | hate abolitionists. Nay, worse. | hat
them worse than | hate the rnttlesnake, for, unlik
it, they give no warning of their approach, an
seek to conceal their objects.
THE ISSUE STATED.
In 1850 l told my friends-and it was the onl
prophecy of mine that ever was fulflleo-tha
they need not be alarmed about an issue; that is
sues would come as fast as blackberries in tn
summertime, and stronger ones than We bad then
We have the issue upon us now, and how are W
to meet it? | tell you, fellow citizens, from thu
bottom of my heart, that the only mode which
think available for meeting il is just to tear th'
constitution of the United States, Triangle it under
foot, and form a southern c0ntederacv, every state
of which will lie II slaveholding State. Loud anc
prolonged cheers / believe it, rs | stand in tho
face of my Maker--I believe it on my responsible
ity to you as your honored representative, that th'
only available means of making that hope effectiv,
is to cut asunder the bonds that tie us together, ant
take our separate position in the family of nations
These are my opinions. They have always beer
my opinions. | have been q disuuionist from tn,
time l could think.
