offer no stronger illustration OF its in
sane and traitorous character tnan by
giving the conclusion OF the speech, rs
we find it reported 10 the Now York Ex

heard. But the South knew better; she
hid herself behind the law and the North
knowing the decision OF the Supreme
Court was fosl, they obeyedit. But the
South said !: III like your decision |

.he North had her hands tied while the
south was free to do as she pleased. 1t

DO so. So would he recommend the alb
plition,sts to say che knew no one but
tho slave, and il the Constitution and

ionged,) 90 much the better" lie con-
tinued in q strong speech 'galnst the
Federal Government, euloglzing Marga-
ret Gardner, who murde Ell her child ra-
Their than let him 20 into the hands Of
her pursuers. The bred Scott decision
was more dreadful TO him than Sharps's
rifles, and he must raise New York, Mas
sachusetts and Wisconsin to the level Of
being trai ors. There ia one word the
Republican people know and dare not
utter, namely. that this is a resolution,
but such must be avowed; and that there

York must be educated TO trample the
law under foot, Massachusetts, men to
be made to say that no slave law will be
allowed there or oheyed j.; and he wanted
TO make tho soil of saohusetts so hot
that a slave holder would sooner go
down to hell than come into Massachu-
