Toour northern friends who would excuse themselves
for what they have done doing and intend do here
after about this slavery question, by saying ave didn't
commence this agtaiion-all quiet until the Missouri
Compromise vas fepealedI beg to say that after its
adoption southern the last give up the idea
of such division Of the territory and that they
rejeced-caers which were endorsed by what you
called the etrasouthern, re-eating dsunion Nashville
convention. Yes sir that convention asked for nothing
more and think there is not in America whose
mind is open to the impressions OF reason and
sense but will be ready TO admit that had such division
of our property been made and adhered good
faith there would not now be am cause for quarrel be-
tween
But you would not heaken us and perhaps 1t is
well for with general acquiescence of the country in
the great American principle that communities of
people, as well older ones shall regulate their do
nestle affairs in their way will this trade Of agi
talionwhen instead of deyotng, now, less than
day In the week to the interests of the nation and It's e
people, Congress will have nothing do but TO labor for

is 1t that the only safe just and certain mode ever
broaehed for the settlement of this slavery question
should not be at once recognised by every man who
would quiet forever this disturbing ele,entwhy? "Oh
give us back say northern gentlemen, that sacred old

gentlemen tell us this they know II would be but alve

roots penetrating the vtals They know well there
feeling underlying that paramount to all Others o
more less determined according to the up down of
the barometer that from
Territories another State recognising African servitude
shall never be admitted into this Union They know full
well that before and ro the day when the old eo-

throughout the world, and whether it would be done
peaceably by blood, God only knew but in ohaever
teay he would say, let i comeyes sir from that time
this northern gentlemen must know that this antslavery
sentiment has been fed in every possible way northern
anacism and southern violence If you please but stead
lily has 1t increased until now aspres to the CONTROL for
own purposes OF every branch of this government
Is it strange then that southern should SEEK and
in tho solution of this question: ask that it shall be gov
erned by principle in itself ust 70 all that its
has not been asssed by any, only may conflict
with their determination to shape things suit themselves
by congressional nterference2 And sir is all
strange that northern men, eastern and western men,
should come and meet then and subscribe to doctrine
the basis Of and even older with than the constitution
lisehe Fight Of people to selfgovernmen and the
regulation OF their domestic aairs2 To suppose
would imply that their ideas of freedom and gov
eminent were but the galvanized images of King Georges
attempted rule in this land No. sir there 1, love of JUS
raernal feeling pusatng through the mighty heart
OF this naon which will scott to shame any party
OF men who may SEEK by whatever means weaken the
lands that grit about 1t by the hands of its glorious
old founders.
AS for those eternal babbers about system that is
training, In civilization aud Christianity millions of
of people who, from time mmemora have deed all other
of elevation above the most brutal instincts Of
elsewhere ships that bear servitude infinitely OPP
pressye than any known in the States Of this Union thou
sands upon thousands of another whose history
parave civilization and form of government date back
period when the Anglo-Saxon unknown; they see
millions Upon millions in another quarter of the world under
bondage to their allies Of old England still more CALLING
for there torture ITSELF in many horrd FORMS is pracsed
by government officials in the qualification of appe
es forever saying give If any of those gentlemen wish
the evidences to sustain such have them
here In official FORM collected and published by order

book Of three hundred and odd pagessamped its
Torture and in the "ndian News of the peced

selves satisfied to the humanity which would be heard
for its long prayers would refer them the price
coolies in the Havana market where six Thousand
hundred Of them recently landed from three English
vessels And If they shall still rave and say nigger"
think they may very safely be turned that scrm-
mating justice which has already overtaken many OF
Them II this book upon torture not official record
would specially recommend it, Mr. Speaker to be studied
those charitable people in region Of country who
talks such delight getting upa Terrific Register against
the southern Shareholders of this Union but there being
nothing in from newspaper scribblers mawkish
mancers stump orators against us, fear my
mendatons would 60 unheeded.
When of the South only ask to be allowed to go
without hindance of authority and to take
with if choose into the Territories that prop
ery which the has heretofore
the high think it not unreasonable But when you
Of the North would not only deny that right but
would seek by all possible means make imperative
laws-the constitution self-which require the delivery
ugtves from labor and by not unfrequeny endan
gering the life of claimant and oftener st the escape
of the savemeans which prevent my travelling into your
States with my servant when could do in the most
civilized country in Europe yes sir in the most civilized
country in the world if general diffusion of education
be taken the standardwe think you unreasonable
Some of those in your country Mr. Speaker who
ride before pioneers look upon government
unhoy leaguea disgrace because it recognises
tain rights in u.s. And notice in the newspapers call
for State antslavery disunion convention in your
chief towns consider the best mode of getting rid of it.
do not know what epithets such men may apply to
foreign government-whose laws founded upon the
comfy Of nations, liberal to than their own
State than they would have the laws of the general gov
eminent; for it is true sir that whilst could go
child without danger Of her being forced TO leave me-
might take strapping negro man into Prussia and bring
him away my slave, by the laws OF that country And
yet sir because expect much less from you and
government honorable gentlemen honest gentlemen good
citizens lovers of the Union even they would have the
world believe striving do that which, if carried out
will certainly eventuate in dissolution of this cond
eracy as If God in his wrath the unappreciaon of
blessings bestowed had visited with that judicial blind
ness which precedes destruction.
From the smile observed upon their faces when adj
verted to the laws Of Prussia gentlemen around
seem to doubt the of what stated and in
oder that there may be caving about the matter
to the Clerks desk to be read letter from Mr. Vroom
minister at the court of Berlin and only ask his
communication shall be read because IL condenses into
space the Judgment of the courts of that country which
have before me-
The Clerk read the letter, as follows
BERLIN, July 49, 1865.
