met together TO form the Constitution Of
country Slavery in some form extended quite over
tie land Our fathers deemed il evil. They
said They imagined II would cease to exist in fifty
years. You must remember that Madison would not
stain the Constitution with the word slave" In fact,
our fathers gave it in the Constitution only such
sconfu recognition would not permit their children,
if happily il should sometime pass away, to gather
from Anything they should find there that such thing
m American Slavery existed in the land BY
the accident Of cotton it became pccuniary
rover Through clause in the Constitution it be-
came political power; and these powers, pecuniary
and political, passed into few hands-not
more at the present time than $4,000 all told.
Thus it is seen that but small proportion voters and
yet there few men, through negligence, dominate
in every department Of our Government They have
taken to themselves the eighty millions Of the spols
of this Government. They have taken to them
selves nearly two thirds Of the offices to De dis
tributed by the Federal power. They WELD the
machinery Of Freedom to foster Slavery. Freedom
and Slavery started together upon this continent The
very yoar that the Pigrims landed Plymouth Rock
slaves landed in Virginia, aud the two systems have
made their way together towards the setting Free
dom has gone on trampeing down barbarism, and
creating States, building the symbols OF Its faith by
every lake and river until now IT has passed the faer

sons of the Purta with all the institutions of their
fathers stand by the farOf shores Of the peaceful

march Of Freedom across the continent, Slavery has
made its way also toward the setting sun 1t has
reached at the present time tho Rio Bravo at the
South and the groans of IFS victims and the clank of
its chains may be heard az it slowly ascends the
western territory of the Mississippi River While FREQ
dom has left in its bright path land filled with
religion free schools and civilization, Slavery has
left DEATH ignorance and desoation in its track. Such
is the simple picture of the two systems MS they have
made their way toward the setting sun. All the time
Slavery like ASSASSIN, has been eDdeavong to stab
Liberty DEATH All the time we If the North have
contributed our energy and our blood-a mighty
streato assist Slavery at the South. All the time the
North has been furnishing its men, its money, its

upon the Bible, that his mother gave him,
that Slavery is Divine institution thus insulting the
great God himself who, to prove His adherence Of
Slavery suspended the laws Of nature and in the Red
Sea swallowed up two millions and half of Egyp-

this Government for the benefit Of a few
shareholders who claim the right to rule say tho

Cabinet Caleb Gushing is from Massachusetts. Then
Mr. Marcy is about half Free Soil, but the larger half
has been given to Slavery, He too, came from Mass

Liberty, Charles Sumner Three loud cheers for Mr..
Sumner.
Mr.. Burngame spoke of his interview with the Hon.
Charles Sumner and said that although he did not wish
TO be the bearer of i'll tdngs to them yet he could not
hide from himself the fear that the injuries he had
ceived might yet prove fatal But whatever his fate
should be- his memory would live in the land forever
and for aye ICheers Returning from this DEPRESSION,
he proceeded TO prove that the system of Slavery had
the effect of making people pecua arily, intellectually
and physically weak. That it had this effect in pc
cuniary point Of view evident examination
of the Southern States. The master, in his heart of
pride would not labor and the slave would not work.
