In the first place you will understand
what is the intention of the South. NO
man can doubt what the intention OF the
South is. The inevitable tendency OF
The South-for she clings to the policy
If her wisest and ablest statesman-is
to carry slavery right across the contin-
emf TO the Pacific. They do not hesitate
to ayow that it is their intention to carry
slavery westward. But there was wall
there. not made Of wood-no old Chinese
wall but a wall made up of amity and
compacts and pledges exchanged between
the aqitated North and South. II was
the Missouri Compromise of 1920 by
which the line Of 500 80! was made the |
dividing line. There was no getting ac-
cess to this territory unless this wall was
broken down. ] need not ask them to
remember the great excitement which
took place two years ago throughout the
country. 1 will not ask you to remember
the disagreeable snap judgment pronoun-
ced by Congress upon this subject
When the Missouri Compromise was
broken down the South said that the
proposition came from the North; and
they asked if they should decline it !? l
have been brought up to think that Slav-
cry was particularly propitious to Chiv-
airy. Late events have tended to shake
my faith; but that was my education. l
have been taught to believe that it is dis
honorable to break contract. To break
this was particularly dishonorable.--
Never did fish swallow relishful morsel
quicker than the South caught at this
Compromise (Laughter.) But unlike
the fish of scripture, they refuse to
throw it up (renewed laughter but yet
they will find it to be jonah, and they
will be glad to do it daughter and
cheers.) The only difference between
the stealing of the Nebraska bill and in
dividual stealing, is that it is wholesale
stealing (Cheers.) learn that I am

But the fallacy of the Democratic doc
trine is that it is enough to show that the
proposition came from Northern man
, That is not enough. 1t should be shown
, that it came from a man from the Nortl
with the consent of the North. Every
} Southern man knows that it was withou

North, expressed in every way that tn,
