and Freedom has been glad to sit the crupper Re
newed aughter During this time, for seventy years,
there las been a constant strfe gong on between
Ssrery and Freedom Ladies ani GenteHe 81 there his
been one victory OF Freedo-One only. II took place
n little more than month ago-when Mr. Banks was
Placed The remainder Of this sentence was Drowned
in applause There is no North, said Mr. Web
seT foui or five years ago, aud when we turned our
eyes in every direction we saw ouly little specks OF
North. But this Winter when the Mississippi has
been frozen clear down to New-Orean-, there has
been North and northern Banks Loud applause.
You may We'll applaud at II; It Is the only victory
Freedom has had Bondage IN seventy years.
Slavery has been master continually since l71s, very
clearly master since 1920, aud very plainly an 05yl-
ouy master since the annexation Of Texas in le45 Dur
rg thi- long period Slavery has had the masterhoof the
Slave Power has ridden foremost and Freedom behind.
Now see how masters at the South have used the
power which we have given them. First, Slavery ap-
points the President. OF twelve Presidents, eight
born in the Slave States and four in the Northern
States and of these the most Northern IN his birth
is Souhenmost in his principles Laughterl. For he
who was born in the Old Granite State OF New-Hamp-
shire, nearest the North Star of Liberty has gone down
Ike the serpent in the Book Of Genesis, crawling
on his belly, that be may do his master will
and eat the devils dust OF the eight southern Presl-
dents five have been reeected Of the four Northern,
not one has been chosen twice The South has had her
for President 50 years the North 10. But there
never has been Anti-Savery President. As the
Vice President, however, il only the fifth wheel to
cannon, while the South has had six, the North has
been allowed eight, and Of these was actually put
the Presidential axle aud served to carry the Fed
eTal cannon where II did most efficient service ior
Slavery. In consequence of that service the new
American party has Just nominated Mr.. Fillmore.
Slavery next appoints the Judiciary Out OF
thirty-tve Judges Of the Supreme Court, nineteen
have been from the South and sixteen from the North.
And the Chief.Justice who mods these vessels OF
Clay-I had almost said into vessels of honor-lnto
vessels Of dishOnor. lust a. he will, the Chief-Jus-
tice j. almost always Southern man. Ii was sixty
years ago that the North had the Chief-Ju.ticeship
The North has held IT for eleven years and the South
for fifty five wears. There have been thlrtyhve At
tOrney Generals and TO eight from the North there
have been fifteen from the South. In 1854 there had
been two hun bred and sixteen men appointed to dpo-
matte Offices; of these ninety-nne were from the
North and III from the South. Our masters almost
always have the largest number But these figures do
not describe the eIornity of the fact. For at the
present day in all our diplomatic offices there Is not a
Single man abroad who was known even to have Ut
tered an anti Slavery word And If the next steamer
should bring word that a man of them had spoken
word in favor Of American Freedom, the next steamer
would cary out bis recall In the House OF Repre-
sentatves the South had 80 members and the Noth l4
while il the South equally represented with Tue
North she would have only GO. The South has had the
Speakership for 70 years and the North but "a. But
when there ever an Anti-Savery speaker IN that
Chair until the North was so cold that III hansas ia
tie latitude of Washington, the Thermometer sunk TO
27 degrees below Zero and the great river OF the West
foze clear dowo to the Gulf Mr.. Banks is the hrst
AntiSavery Speaker there since the memory OF man.
SO. too. it is with the Committees. Mr.. Pugh Is on
the Committee Judiciary, and Mr.. Sumner Is leit
off although Mr.. Sumner has written more law tnan
Mr. Pugh has ever read. UnquestlOnably your own
Senator Seward Immense cheeringl-l am glad you
read in my heart what was gong to say ohnques-
tonaby he is the prooundest and the ablest states
man in the United States Mr. Seward Is put at the
tail of Committee on Pensions which IL about as
important an Office il would be for the City Gov
eminent to appoint him to fill the tumblers OF water on
the desk in the Cabinet. This is but one specimen OF
the way the authorities use the power winch tne Peo
pie have given them. Slavery Is ADVANCING In l'o
II only reached on the Atlantic coast from Massacnu-
setts 10 the Gulf of Mexico; but in case did 1t go
$50 miles into the Interior. Now has spread over al
orr territory: it has crossed toe Aeghanes, anu hnds
home in the great basins OF the Mississippi, III IL 10

their Constitution prohibits bondage yet | tell you
slaves are TO be found there, and their masters are
protected by the authorities II il the boast OF Great
Britain that slave cannot breathe her nee ar Tor

kidnap his man wherever he WILL la l176 the Deoara-
ton Of Independence gave to all our territory an IDEAL
f.aoAo.s. Or all tLat land there are now only five
thousand square miles wnera all men Iuu1t hH free
That is the territory which Daniel Webster surreh'
dered to Great Britain. IL was lost to American De,
mocracy but was reganed to Universal Freedom; and
the slave takes from the hand of born Queen what
the Democracy would take from hun. In Boston the
United States forces have been called into active ger

pone of Rome nor the Car of Russia would have
dared 10 assume such power. Yet the American De-
mocracy would call out the United States army 70
make man slave. Our masters ara no better sats-
fed now than they IN l7s7. The tlger WhO tastes
