From this physical and mental analysis. it Will
be perceived that each organ may be penkrv IN
one race than IN the other buf that N other re-
spects they do not materaally differ The snato-
mr. OF the one IS the auatomy OF the other; the
mental sclence tiiaf desefioes tue laws OF mind
OF the one delineates the spiritual nature of the
other; the moral philosophy that analyses the
moral emotions Of the one, reveals the raora fac
ulties Of the other. All the laws OF health and
culture applicable 70 the one, are applicable to
the other. The same phys that prcscribes

The manifest inieriority Of the African to the
Angio-Ssxon does not consist IN generic or.
specific difference II Is that kind Of inferi0rity
which, doubtless, the enlightened statesman

symetrlea his face less beautiful; his appctites
passions, instincts, and desires, less manageable;
his perceptions less acute; his conceptions, less
clear; his memory, CONSCIOUSNESS, belief, powers
OF reasoning and will, more feeble; his love OF
parents. OF offspring, OF man, OF country, OF
truth, OF honor, justice, and OF Cod less relia-
BILE. Bnt is any one OF these absent? Ii SO, what
element OF manhood mas been omitted! None;
not one.

ting great political truths that thus 1iuminates

OF a sheer Is it the Senatorial mode OF discard.
ing fundamental truths as mere aostractlons!s
Am thus told that such political distractions
might DO IN the Original lorlnauon OF society,
but that the system. OF slavery has long since
been established, and that 1t cannot now be sud
ocnty removed without danger 10 the welfare OF
The slave, as well as the safety OF the master! II
this be the purport OF that meaning smile, Its
| truth is granted. l believe 1t, every word. Its
truth is conceded by the mass OF the people OF
the North and OF the est. the dlfficulty OF
\ the immediate emancipation Oh large bodies OF
| slaves, in States where it has been long estab
shed, is sfully understood and as freely ad it
people ofthe slave States
but, sir, tins = not t, a mere aostractlon when
applied to Kansas. There, the question is a new
one fou go there not TO oefend otd insntu-
tons, but to organize society-to lay the founda-
tons OF repnoic tte aoao. lhefe, you are 1ree
from every embarrassment attending the question:
OF emancipation IN the old states. y GU go there,
in advance OF organ ed society, TO plant the PHI
lars OF a State, where yoar acaH as supreme-where
you may either approve or prohibit Slavery, as
your hearts may prompt and your conscience
| approve.
Then, II my argument Is conclusive as an 40
strdction tits equally conclusive when applied to
the practical question OF the introduction OF sla
very into all the Territories OF this Union where
it has not previously existed. II the oppression
of the weak by the strong is wrong IN the first
organization of civil society, and should be pro-
hibited by law, it should be prohibited in Kansas.
in Nebraska, in Utah, and IN New Mexico, as il
was prohibited in the Northwest Territory, and
as it is now prohibited in Minnesota and Oregon.
1t should be prohibited wherever you go to, lay
the foundations ola State--to build up new re-
| public.
There is an apology for the existence OF Sla-
very in the old thirteen States. When they were
severed from Great Britain, they inherited the
institution ofSlavery. You found it pre-existing
in the Territories of Louisiana and the Floridas.
You acquired it with Texas, in her reception into
the Union. But it was not acquired with Utah
and New Mexico. And, in 1854, it had no prac-
teal existence north of36 deg, 80 min. in any OF
| your Territories. In the great unoccupied North
west, this institution no part of your inheri-
lance. will cose this point Of the discussion
by quoting an opinion of Hon. John Mclean, one
OF the Justices of the Supreme Court of the Uni.
ted States. When interrogated on this subject,
