Church. and had suborned the Press. But there
was higher law than the constitution of the
United States; but man who lad sworn to sup
poit that instrument could recognize no higher
law, and with him there was but this alternative
either to obey the the Constitution and disregard
his conscience, obey his conscience and toIsake
the Constitution. Slavery held dominion over the
whole domain Of this country--ruled the North az
well as the South. To talk OF staying the encroach-
meats of Slavery was worse than Madness

North had been turned into hunting ground and

20 think that one ofthe simplest things was tue
golden rule-the simple dictate of Justice. But the
anti slavery movement had taught them different
ly. This nation had yet to learn the profound mys-
terry of the parable of the Good Samariian.-
But the anii-Saverv movement had done much to
enlighten the world upon this. We had heard
much Of Father Mathew and kossuth as they came
upon soil, we found that they Ignored the
question entirely Kossuh was willing to do any
thing for Hungary, but not even to raise his voice
for humanity and when that question was present
ed to them both suffered a moral collapse, like
balloon rent asunder by the lghtnngs Of God
The friends of this movement were engaged in no
political scheme. They were not seeking to lber
ate four millions of Africans, but six times four
millions of white men to release them from chains

ing away with Slavery by gradual emancipation,
he thought suggestion to thief to stop stealing
gradually would be quito analogous. In forty

not take care Of themselves. Whathad we lately
seen declared by the highest Court in this country?
that the colJrGd man had rights which white
man is bound to respect. They wished to see ev.
cry slave liberated by the action Of tho slavehold
ers. To 10 this they wished only fair fell--that
they be allowed to speak the truth. They needed
no muskets or arms to assist them, but only the
truth freely spoken. Applause

Of the Supreme Court of the United States. lie

fact that colorel men were found shoulder to shOu-
der with white men on every battle-ground Of this
country Judge fancy should have closed his lips
when he sought to utter the iniquitous decision he
had rendered. The speaker regretted that his
