that henceforth, il all the Territories of the United

There is this great and solemn lesson taught By tbs
review, ard that that 10 succeeding generation has
corrected the error or retraced the step Of its prede
cessot, and the solemn monitiOn is put TO Us that
should follow quickly this action by reaction II il for
you row who have this thing done to undo it, Il,
i. for you to protes, Cheersi Now, suppose that
this tubJect OF the extension of Slavery TO Territories
which ftbey have aay government are governed by
the federal power, IL legitimate subject OF federal
politics, and we intend 10 act accordingly. We sup
pose that 1t is more important subject of federal poll
tcs than any Others and intend 10 act accordingly
We have called you together, and you have responded
to the call in Of those echoes which heard from
one quarter Of the land to the other This is practical
question. 1t is question Of making this sentiment felt IN
the way that politicians understand, by votes by ndu-
ence by condemnation Of the bad and by the support
of the good lcheenl We do not intend TO be IN sled
into any inquiry or sympathy, however aggravating
the wrong Of the slave may be. We do not intend to
be crswn into any discussion Of mere ethics, Of
philanthropy for the inferior race" they
called by our sOuthern brethren. We do bot intend
to Unsette any social relation but intend to
else the clear night Of Freedom in determining that
new and large regions shall be devoted to free labor
upon the one hand, and TO the exclusion of SavsTy
upon the other loud sheersl. In determining this
principle, we have 10 occasion to quarrel with any
Of the dogmas that assumed or argued
Slayery.
Ii is said by them that Slavery in this country has
been productive of uDmixed good to the negro so be
it, if they can prove it, But it is our opinion it has
been productive Of unmixed evil to the white man.
They say that Slavery is the only relation which is pos
sible in society which is composed of blacks and
whites and mixed races So be 1t, if they can prove
H. But that only adds TO the recttude of our opinion
that no new territory should be occupied by mixed
races lCbeerl Now there Is another argument by
which the savehodng interest treats the efforts Of the
eemen Of the North to get possession OF some part OF
these teTitories II said that they have been won
by our common blood and treasure. Well now, if
this were argument TO show that the black race
ought to be allowed to 90 into new Territory
if il was pretended that they had been won by the
and the white men Of the North, could understand
the force Of the argumt MT lAppausel. II has been
won by the common blood and treasure OF the white
men Of the United States and If God at the efforts
that we commence tonight it shall be occupied by
the white men Of the whole country lCheerl.
Well, it is said that it is the part of brethren to
OCCUPY their common heritage ID prhCe ana quiet,
and that the white man of the South and the
white man of the North should 60 together and
possess the land; but there is one difficulty
about this business. 1t does not depend
upon the law of Congress or the law of
al State but it is written in the hearts of the free
laborers of our country that they will not work side by
side with slaves. lCheerl. Labor, gentlemen, we
acknowledge to be the source and basis OF all our
wealth. Of all our progress of all our dignity and value,
but it Is the labor of the free man. lCheersl Garry

United States is not ncosed within straight lines be

the Constitution formed, the whole population OF
the United States resided on strip OF territory along
tie Atlantic coast and then the country was neces,
saIily divided into a North and South for 1t was all
East and no West. But should think that, with the
