IN regard TO this question, the mon is house

ne that Rave often said to him that toe Institution OF
Slavery has exted for eighty yeersn come states, and
yet it does not exist in some otters, agree 10 tne
fact ar account for by locking at the position IN
which our fathers originally placed t-restrlciDg

lately, I think-and in this charge nothing on the
JUDGES mo.ves-lstely, j think, that he and those
acting with him have placed that institution on new
basis, which locks TO the perpe.uty and nationality
tion If Slavery loud cheers And whhe IT is
plsced upon this new basis, cay, and have said,
that believe shall not have peace up IN the q1es-
ton until the opponents OF Slavery arrest the farther
spIead Of il, ard place it where the public mind shall
rest in the belief that it Is IN the course CT ultimate
extnctIon or the other hand, that its sfvocstes
will push it forward until it shall become alike lawful
in ali the States, old well new, North as well as
South. Now, believe if could arrest the spread,
and plsce il where Warrington, ard Jefferson, and
Madison placed it, would be in the course of ulti-
mate extinction ard the public mind would, az for
eighty years past, believe that 1t wss In the course OF
ultimate extinction. TIE crisis would be past, aud
he lof oil for hun HYa0

ereientyl lCrles of "A bumbrg, a humbug.'l Is
il the rig ht tie people TO have Slavery net have
IT, as hey zee lit, in the Territories will state
a. have an able msn TO watch me-my understand
rg is that Popular Sovereignty. az now applied to the
que stiOn of Slavery. does allow the people OF Ter.
ritory TO have Slavery if they want to- but does not
slow them not TO have it if they do not want IT, APP
psuse ard laughter do not mean that if this vast
cCncourse Of people we're in Territory of the United
States any che oil them would be Obliged to have
slave if he did not ant one; but do say that, as
understand the bred Scott decision, if any one man
wants slaves, ell the rest have way of keeping
that man from holding them.
When made my speech at Springfield, Of which
the Judge complains, and from which ne quotes, l
really was OF thinking Of the things which he ascrbes
TO me at al. ! had no thought 10 the world that /
was doing anything to bring about war between tie
Free sno Slave States. bad thought in the world
that doing anything TO bring about political
snd socisl equsty OF the black and white races. IL
never occurred TO that doing anything or ia
Vorng ythiI TO reduce to dead uniformity all TIE
local institutions Of the various States. Bat | must
say in ell fairness TO him, If lie thinks am doing
son ethrg which leads to these bad results, il is
the better that did not mean it, II is Just as fai.l
to the country if have Gny influence in producing it,
wfetber intend it or not. But il be uus, tnst
placing this institution upon the original bssis-the
ter enpsn which our fathers placed it-can hsye any

Laughter The Judge Gays this u a - r,;cs.;ol:
started in regard to this question Does the Judge
claim that he ls working the plan OF the founders
Of Government / think he Gays in some Of his
spec ches-indeed have one here 10 THAT he saw
evidence of policy to allow Slavery 10 be south OF
certain line while north CT il il should be excluded
and be raw indsposon on the psrt Of the country
to stand upon that policy and therefore he set about
studying the subject upon original principles, and upon
original principles ne got up the Nebraska bill am
fighting 1t upon these "orginal principles fighting
II in the Jeffersonian Wsshirgtonian and Msdisonsn
fasbon. Laughter and applause.
Now, my fiiends, wish you to attend for q little
while to or two other things In that Springfield
speech. Ny main object was - show, far as my
hun bic ability was capable of showing to the people
of this country, what believed was the truth-tnat
there was tendency, if not conspiracy among those
VITO have ergueered this Slavery question for the
last four or iive years, 10 make Slavery perpetual
and universal in this Islion. Having made that
speech principally for that object after arranging tie
evidences thst thought tended to prove my PROPOSE
ton, / concluded with this BIT of comment:
cannot absolutely know hs; these sdAptsons a
result VrecoIcert but when ~, OF framed
