legend Of tradition, will stand the landmark
OF his country's genius, a mental pyramid In
the solitude OF time, beneath whose shade
kings may moulder; bat around whose summit
eternity must play? cannot close this pOT-
tiOn Of my theme without extending TO the
memory OF those gallant foreigners and their
descendants, who stoOI BY our ftg when poT-
ientous clouds bovered over our horizon, a ma
TONS gratitude. Our beloved country IL, truly
speaking, an asylum Of the oppressed Of every
n%alion. Il matters not what language they
speak, OF from what country they come, "ths
poment they set their foot upon American
soil, their former gods and altars sink togeth-
err they walk forth redeemed, TsgeDerated
and disAnihrallsd from the shaekles Of des-
pOtism."
TRUST I viii be p~srdoned for stating that a
dark and lowerifg cloud has, for the past ten
Years or longer, been hanging over our political
hor.z7n. Two months have scarcely elapsed
since there was a deep and thrilling senss ion
in the halls Of Congress In relation TO he ad-
mission OF Kansas as a Scste. Her admission
was opposed by q party called the Black Re
] publicsns and sustained By he nationslDem
o~erstie, and 4 portion Of the Southern Ameri-
can parties. After a heated discussion, The
bill, IN a modified form, finally passed both
Houses OF Cousress-Was signed BY the Pres
i3eat. aud Kansas conditionslly csms into
the Union as ore Of the soversigl States
Of the confedsTscy. Bat, fsllog-eitzsns, not
outstanding the fsetious course pursued by
the Black Republican party, 90 SION as the
news reached Washington that American yes
sells bad been fired into. and were visited
and searched BY British ships Of war, in III.
Gulf Of Mexico, on the preteXt OF suppressii 2
he slave trade, they almost without a diss nt-
ing voice, with Mr.. Seward al their head. rsme
out promptly In favor Of ex ending to the Pres
ident the means OF resehtiEg, 10 the proper
manner, the insult to our flag. So long as the
party at the North show a willingness 10
guard, defend, and protect The q z Of our con :
non country, there is 10 danger Of q dissOlu-
ton Of this glorious confedeEacy. Bat when
they attempt to trample under foot the Consii-
tuition OF our common country, or, to say to -
that we have not The right to bold slaves in
b~5ndage-that each State is not per 80 a gov
erument-that It has not a perfect right to leg
islate for itself, and cannot pass any laws or
acts which are republican, and which do not
oIhict with the Cor s~titution OF the Unitec
States and which have not been delegated to
tie Federal GoEernmen, Gen it will be that a
civil wal, with all its ~tendant horrors, will
be brought about sDd unless that calamity
can be averted, by a.lVing a fight with a foreign
nation, the Union will inevitably be dissolved.
But, fellow-cifizsns, all that we Of the South
ask is, that the Back Republicans will stand
by the Constitution Of this Union, and the
Union Of tue Constitution, as they we're, az they
are, and as they were intended TO be by those
who FRAMED item. Above ali, we allure them
70 let Us and this institution Of slavery alone.
Il is none Of their business. Slavery as it ex-
lists In these Southern States has rights under
the Constitution, but anti slavery has none.
slavery is a creature Of the Consultation and
the Bible. Anti-slsvery lie a creature Of the
Devil and all the agitation on the subject has
been the offspring Of either dsmagogueism or
downright treason. Were 1t possible TO carry
the war into Africa, that is, on the other side
OF MasOn's and DiXon's Line, and induce the
North to adopt negro slavery, I believe il would
be one Of the most aHspieious events for this
country, and for mankind, that has happened
for lol thess many years. Such a thing, low
ever, at present, seems scarcely within the
range OF probability. The South, by no means, I
desires TO force slavery on the North. yet lie
have quite as much as, il not more right tdtso
than the North has to force slavery from
u.s. And from present indications in FranSAs
England. Canada, aud elsewhere, 1t sppeAMI
quite az bkelY that the sympathies Of the q
side world would be with US as with th%
People every where, just at this time, it sesIhs,
are opening their eyes 10 the fact that African
