ELOQUENT Appeal.

The following is the conclusion of Mr.. Caleb
cushiugs eloquent speech, lately delivered at
Faneuil Hail. Boston
Merchants Of Massachusetts, with your superb
galleons from the shipyards of East Boston and
Newburyport, moving over the sea in the pride
of their beauty and strength, frcighted with the
rich agricultural productions of Carolina and
Louisiana. you have been told here that vour in
terests are in conflict with those Of the South =.
Manufacturers of Massachusetts! you, with your
palatal manufactures TO weave into apparel, for
the worlds wear. the agricultural productions of
Georgia and Alabama, have been told here that
you must surrender yourselves to the evil spirit
of jealousy of the South
Citizens of Massachusetts and especially you
of the industrial classes, who wear the cotton, eat
the corn meal and sugar and drink the coffee of
slave labor. and who provide objects of art for
the use Of slave labor, and Of those who own it,
you also have been told that slave labor is the
irreconcilable antagonist of free labor, and that
therefore,, leaving all other things, you must be-
take yourself TO hating the South, with sworn
hatred like that of Hannibal for Rome. Men of
Massachusetts you are eXhorted to cultivate am
icable relations with Cuba--slave colony though
itbe--to supply il with lumber, food, and other
objects of value. and to buy aud consume its pro-
duets and thus TO sustain and perpetuate slave
labor there, and love slave owners, while you are
called upon to sacrifice the peace and honor of
lDe Gbale. Wilu upulChlc NpufStlli llpHl l'piNuh
ton of slave labor, to unceasng hostility against
your own eountrymen of the Southern States!
When hear such counsels darkly intimated
under specious disguise of speech, to The State Of
Massachusetts,, il seems to me that the first Tempt
er, as depicted by Milton, is before my eyes
Close at the ear of Eve.
Assaying by his dcvilsh art to reach
The organs of her fancy, and with them forge
Illusions. as he list, phantasms and dreams;
Or IT, inSprinQ venom, he might taint
The animal spirits that from pure blood arise,
Like gentle broaths from rivers pure thence
raise
At least distempered, discontented thoughts,
Vain hopes, vain aims, inordinate desires,
Blown up with high concets, engendering
My friends to dlspel such mischievous inspira
tons, it needs but the llghtest touch of IthuricPs
spear of truth.
say down down to the informal pit where
they belong, with all these drcict Inspirations Of
malice, hatred and uncharitableness You the
people of Massachusetts,, do not, In the inner
chamber of your heart approve, and will not on
considerations adopt this abominable theory OF
sectional spite aud hate. You will, in the end,
if not TO day, repel that policy with scorn and
horror. Before that time of sober Judgment
comes ! who stand mp for the Union, IL its letter
and spirltwho will die in the breach rather
than let it slide i may be struck down by the
tempest of party passion, but others, better and
more Fortunate will rise up to mi the gap In the
ranks Of The sacred phalanx Of the soldiers of the
Constitution Man Is feeble, mortal transient
but our country is powerful, immortal, eternal
In the long ages Of glory which lie before us
rolling onward. one after another, like the cease
less rote of the surging waters on the sea shore
wave upon wave rushing on to fill the place OF
that which sinks into the main, generations OF
men will come and go, with their joys aud sor-
rows, their aspirations and dsappontments,
their conflicts aAd their recouciliations. Then it
will be seen that he who was the highest had been
but an atom of the great whole, and he who was
humblest had been as much. We are alike In the
hands of the Almighty, and but the Instruments
of his will In the doing Of the great work com
mcnced by our forefathers Mt Jamestown aud Ply

civilization the savanahs and forests of our coun

Union will not he found backward, at the hour
Of need In performing her appointed part OF that
great work Of the Lord God In the New World.
