~ in possession u copy Of ! speech, de-
fyersd in Tho House Of Representatives, Of
thslSsais n Missouri, on Tie 18th Of Oo-
tsbts last, By jams B. GARDExHlnE, late
Attorney General II that State, in defence
ofthe right Of emigration, and Of political
and fsligious freedom. What motives
pronptsd the genslsnan 70 make DC the re-
cipiens Of this document, We cannot even
guess. Ii could not hare been because the
gentleman endorsed the principles therein
promulgated, because, ~ We said before,
be is an ssuntcrri6sd'' Democrat. Under
these circumstances, We are forced to the
conclusion, that our friend wished our
opinion in relation to the doctrines therein
laid down, aud a. we arc not lawyer, and
do not attach amy pecnniary value 70 our
opinions, We have NO objections to crafty
ing what NO conceive to DO the wish Of the
gentleman aforesaid. ~. {,
It's long document, and whatever might
b our inclinations, our limited space viii
NOT admit Of its publication At this time. In
the 5trict sense Of the torn, it is not par
tisan document, but in the language of its
author, 50 manly uttsrance Of our ssnti-.
msnss alike due to ourselves, to our neigh
bors and to the State.' It is full Of
thought and ripe experience, and well cal
culased to command the respect of all, even
though differing from tho sentiments sought
to be incplcated. " ~ II.
Mr.. GARDKNHIsE is president Of the JEFF
fsrson City Land Company--an Organise
ton, having for it, objects, the building up
Of ! large manufacturing city, and supply
ing the same, With all the educational ad-
vastagss Of the ago. In pursuance of these
offsets, the company issued circulars, and
took other methods, Of inviting emigration
to that city. In justification Of this act,
Mrsg G. said: a3o7 aa r 3k"
'fhoush We felt satisfied from the tendencies Of fss
es, that the population We invited would come chief
~ from tho free States, invitation 70 all the
world Our purpose ives TO enrich ourselves and our
neiShbors, asd those who shoald come among US and
should excite the
pride and moral enthusiasm Of the whole Sate and
1t nsttsred not to from whence population capital
and enterprise came. whether from the North or the
south, Europe OF America"
This enterprise, 50 laudable in its designs,
instead Of commanding the appreciation Of
the entire people, met with determined op-
position at tho hands of some few of the
ultra pro- slarery men in and about Jefferson
City, and by persons elsewhere in the State.
Senator GREEN, of that State, made speech
asthe Capital, cat war with the enterprise, -
and intended "greatly to encourage opposi-
ton to it, About this time, Mr.. GARDEN
HIRE, As president Of the company, submit
ted to tho Educational Convention, plan
for the establishment and endowment of Q
State Normal School at Jefferson City,
This object was vehemently opposed by q
member Of the Legislature, whereupon, Mr..
GARpESH1RE remarks, 81 felt it due alike to
them and to myself, to meet the cruel politi-
cal war thus declared against individual en-
terprise." He then proceeds to examine
some Of the positions Of Mr.. GREEN on the
Slavery question, which he declares are Sat
war with the opinions of the early Fathers
Of the Republic, and, in his opinion, with
tho best interests of the State.'' II seems
that Mr.. aGsEEs assumed, that "Slayery
agitation and the evils resulting from it,
were attributable to the enemies of negro
slavery, and in this description, no includ.
Cd abolititionists, free-soilers and emanci-
pationists, all who do not believe Slavery a
moral, religious and political blessing"
Mr.. GARpESHIRE takos exceptions to this
position, and unwilling to deal in asser-
tion," cones sswith evolutionary witnesses,
and armed with revolutionary authority"
to overthrow the baseless fabric erected by
Mr.. GREEx. He 6rst quotes from the official
proceedings Of tho provincial Congress of
Georgia, in tho year ITS, wherein he shows
that the people Of that colony, were "ths
enemies of negro slavery, and desired its ul-
