4 NORTHERN PARTY.

This, Mr.. President, is concise ac,
count of the National Intervention il
the Territories in favor of Slave Labor
and Slave States since 1920. Nc
wonder that the question before us ex-
cites apprehcnsions and alarms. There
is at least North side of this Cham
ber-a North side of the Chamber oil
Representatives. North side of the
Union, as well as South sides of all
these. Each of them is watchful,
jealous and resolute. If it be true, as
has so often. been asserted, that this
Union can not survive the decision by
Congress of direct question involving
the adoption of Free State, which
will establish the ascendencv of Free
States under the Constitution, and
draw after it the restoration of the in
flucnce of Freedom in the domestic
and foreign conduct of the Govern
ment, then the day of dissolution is at
hand.
THE RELATIONS OF SLAVERY IN KANZAs
To THE PROGRESS OF THE TERRITORY.
i have thus, Mr.. President, arrived
at the third circumstance attending
the Kanzas question which | have
thought worthy of consideration,
namely, that the National Intervention
in the Territories in favor of Slave
Labor and Slave States is opposed to
the material, moral, and social devel-
opments of the Republic. The propo-
sition seems to involve a paradox, but
it is easy to understand that the checks
which the Constitution applies,
through prudent caution. to the rela-
tive of the representation of the Free
States in the House of Representatives,
and especially in the Senate, co-opera-
ting with the differences Of temper and
political activity between the two clas-
ses of States, may direct the Govern
ment of the Federal Union in one
course, while the tendencies of the Ma
tion itself, popularity regarded, are in a
direction exactly opposite.
The ease and success which attended
the earlier policy of Intervention in
favor of Free Labor and Free States,
and the resistance which the converse
policy of Intervention in favor of Slave
Labor and Slave States encounters,
sufficiently establish the existence of
the antagonism between the Govern
ment and tho Nation which have as
serted. y vessel moves quietly and
peacefully while it descends with the
current. You mark its way by the
foam on is track only when it is forced
against the tide. will not dwell on
other proofs-such as the more rapid
growth of the Free States, the ruptures
of ecclesiastical Federal Union and the
Generalization and disorganization of
political parties.
HOW THE CONTEST cAy De ENDED.
Mr.. President, / have shown why it
is that the kanzas question is attended
by difficulties and dangers only by
way of preparation for the submission
of my opinions in regard to the man
ner in which that question ought to be
determined and settled. j think. with
