Senator Hammond Of South Carolina, in a speech

Hammond says:

Where il the manhood Of the North that il does not
rise up, a man, and bury in overwhelming con
demnaon the authors and thejr supporters OF such
sentiments these Does the Northern voter coyet

insults and rides over him ?
Is il said these sentiments are exceptional among
slaveholding rulers Gentlemen they are not ex
God knows find that often enough in the Southern
Democratic press to relieve them from this charge;

UNIVERSAL in the saveholdng States.
But who denies that this class ofnen rule the opinions

concurrence in whatever particular the Shareholders
choose to dictate DO they not neyorably dictate to
their Northern supporters what opinions they shall
entertain in regard To Slavery and its spread L. il
not shamefuly true that the Senate OF the United
States, to-day, now constituted and sustained by
Northern Democratic votes, the Democratic votes Of
this Congressional District being counted in that sup
port refuse to confirm the appointment of any man
holding to the doctrine of the Nilmot Proviso And
how long is II since the entire Democratic party o the
North sustained that to the fullest extent those
three ui-lnitarv vGeneras-Generals Cass, Pierce
and Gushing inclndedl DO not all know that any
holding To that doctrine now aud going before the
Senate for confirmation would be gulotined on the
instant unless he did all the Northern Democratic
leaders have DONE recant his opnione, humbly
fess his errors but virtually ask pardon of these Auto
cracts Of the plantation? Gentlemen can deeper
humiliation to the Free States than this exist Can
anv fact more clearly demonstrate the iron rule of the
Slavery men over Northern Democratic opinion And
does it not show, too plainly show, that rheH necessity
requires, that same Democratic opinion can be made

Gentlemen, do not the backings-out and baekngs

do not consider therefore. that there is any to
believe that If assent TO Gov. Hammonds sentiments
were demanded of every Northern Democratic leader,
az condition of retaining his party standing and re-
tanning his chance al the Federal offices, should
find those sentiments at all VapoDUldr.
When that gigantic border ruiian William the CON-
queror invaded England history tell. us that he put

Saxons and sent them TO wander the country To
