ssIte. which lack al the greet elements and I'll ibe

win mention but one other Of the precious resuls Of
your branding Slavery o. an outlaw, and consscrsting
every foot Of your coil to Freedom and promising IS
full prot con 10 the fugitive slave who steps upon It
o. 10 any other innocent person within your borders
You will then be free State. which care NOT yet
cay you are You will then have State Government
which Idare not yet say you have. Certain IL thata
State not free and has not government, go oeg a.
il Acknowledges the paramount rule oil slavery mat
is not worthy Of the name Of government winch does
not promise pots con 20 all the innocent w'nin us

loftiest white srstotrat.
But If YOU are not vet free State, am cure you
will con be one. lfyou have not yet State Govern

Your. is TIE State which Will set this b h, and besa-
tful cxampe that will be quickly followed by other
Stat,s. Hoped, lat April that my own would be tho
State set it, But, while fortythree OF the members
Of her Assembly with the noble Speaker al their head,
voted for the bi introduced BY the brave and honest
Wtoster-s bill forbiddn all recognition Of Slavery

their wisdom it violated law! As il they kae~ what

But We shall be tod that one Of the result and by
no means pleasant one, of your defiance ofthe Slave
Power will be the invasion Of the Federal troops sent
TO enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. TIE Federal
troops will come-or II they do, they most cer-
tainy will not come a second time. The State that
sha have the honesty to declare, "No SLAVE WITH
IL NY BORDERS, will not lack the courage to maintain
her declaration. She will maintain IT, al whatever ex.
perse life toLer foes to hersef Moreover the very
lastthing which Federal Administration will 90 ttosnot

There is no remedy for Slavery but to deny lie legal

If nevertheless he admits in their behalf the plea that
they are sacred, obligatory law. Down to this day,
Slavery has been constantly growing stronger under
all the miserable negative Anti.Siavery of the North
and i will continue to grow stronger until it shall be
denied the name and shelter OF law In woFut
Slavery will continue to increase until the people OF
the North shal have the honesty TO DC ana ne cool
age to declare that they Aboltonists SO long -
they shall thrink from demanding the abolition VI
Slavery the STAKEHOLDER will desplse them; end -
long will all their Anti.Slavery zeal lack the inspra-
ton and all their Aht-Savery sb0rs lack the blessing
Of Heaven. God is to be found in no Anti Slavery
scheme which recognizes as law the highest CRIME
against Himself and His children. There may be less
u wrong the creed of the Republican than IN that
of the Democratic party; but if in both VI these
crseds Slavery is deferred to as law then the
righteous and impartial God is in neither OF them
,ao that you but help Slavery so long rs yoa own
It TO be law. Gree, however declare il an outlaw,

refusing to vote fer any man who recognizes its iegsi

/ cannot take my seat without saying that you did
well 10 choose the anniversary of the battle of Bunker
Hill for the day of this Convention. There arc
striking anslogies between that occasion and this.
History teaches that Bunker Hill decided two thngs
Fhst that our militia coulc be relied on " light even
egsinst regular troops; second thai aitr the pauie
the threatened war could nc. longer be prevented
Decided il then that America must hght--hat she
must either conquer or be conquered. II is tue that
kcpes Of peace It'll entertained aud negotiations
for peace etll continued. Nevertheless, Bunker Hill
had rendered these hopes and negotiations all vain
The battle there too earnest and bloody TO be
followed by nyhrg short OF revolutionary aud de-
cisiye war. 20.
Now if the men collected here FROM oil parts Of this
State shall dare gray her ugainst the Slave Power
and against the Federal Government and the Federal
troops which are both but servants Of that power,
then will point OF resemblance between the pres
ent occasion and Bunker Hill be established. Foe
then il will be manifest that there here, a. there
there, ready to peril all In the cause Of hu.
man rights and 10 contend with mighty Government
and with military discipline. But no sooner wlu this
point OF resemblance have been established than an
o,Ler will quickly follow. For, when this Convention
shall have tax en- this advanced step IN the AntSlave-
" war there will be no more possibility OF refreshing
from it than there was OF retreatng In the Kew
outionary war after the battle Of Bunker Hin.
The Revolutionary war had to be fought out then;
ard the Anti-Sav.ry war will have to be fought
out now il this Convention shall do its duty, and shall
take ground that will result in making Milwaukee ~
memorable and glorious as Bunker HILL.
And II Wisconsin will thus heartily enter into the
Anii.Slavery war, it will not take longer u ght ous
than il did the Revolutionary war. seven yeas oid
il take TO conquer the British forces. less Time
will it take to ovei throw An erican Slavery ii WIZ
