Now. is it any great sin to catch 8 set ofthsSs
lazy fellows, that live on the earnings OF their
wives, learn them to work, make them. work,
teach them to love one another and to lave
their children, so that their highest ambition
shall no longer be to buy an extra number Of
wives that they may have a few "pickaninnes'
(children) to sell? a wild African. recently
brought TO Boston by merchant, begged for an
old gun which he saw. When asked what he
wanted Of it, he replied: 'to buy wife and
have few 'pickaninnies' to SELL" Is it anT
harm to yoke up such men and work the lazi-
ness and the brutality out them7 Yes but
yOu say there is better way to do it. There
may be, but it wants the evidence ofa success
ful experiment. The Moravians once kindlsd
their altars Of fdegotion all around tho African
coast, but the waves Of barbarism have sxtn-
guiShed them. Jamaica, in spite Of devoted
missionaries, British philanthropy and AfDeri-
can sympathy, is fast receding through idfeDess
to barbarism. Halfa million of people there
in twenty years have not lifted as many spades

iornia in one. third the time. If this half
million had the twenty thousand to lead them
and guide them and plan for them then that
island, which was once fruitful field, would
not be going back to a wilderness. The best
thing that could b. done for A Africa, il they
could live there, woud be to send them hun
drod thousand American shareholders, to work
them up to some degree Of civilization,

Christian masters? Just in proportion as tho
price of these slaves is raised in Africa, just. to
that degree is there motive to the heirs to
spare their lives. So far az Africa is con-
cerned, the slave-trade was and is humane in
its operations; its abolition was the result of
sentiment, and not the determination OF calm
anil deliberate craftsmanship That it was not
called for by the condition Of the world, nor by
any deep seated moral sentiment is proved from
the fact that the nation foremost in its abroga-
ton has now revived it on other shores and un-
der another name, adding to whatever sin there
is in the direct open slave trade, the other sin
OF othypocrsy and false pretense. ''
Jamaica wants laborers, not because there
are not plenty Of them on the island but be-
cause they will not work; and the same British
philanthropy which stands guard over the
stalwart and immensely lazy son Of Ham, brings
in the ieebler children of Shem and dooms
( them to the same bondage under another name.
Honor to the sagacons and far seeing states
men of Georgia and South Carolina; for they
breasted the united streams of British and
American fanatacism, claimed and maintained
their rights, and saved the South from barren
ness and desolation, the North from civil war
and the negroes from harbarism. IF more Ia
borers are needed for Texas, Central America,
parts of Mexico and Cuba, they ought to be
brought, without objections, upder such hu-
name regulations as are made in other cases ior
the comfort of passengers These laborers
should come from Africa because they are strong
er and make better slaves than any Of the cop
percolored races because they are more sus-
ceptbe of transformation, and their improve
ment will be greater, and, lastly, because they
are the most degraded.
AS to the influence of slavery on the charac-
ter of the whites, that is quite another question;
but so far as the political history OF our country
is concerned, it is not easy to see how we could
do without the Shareholders. See how their
names shine along and adorn the past history of
our country: Washington, Jefferson, the Ran
dolphs, Bayard Pinckney Madison, Monroe,
Crawford, Rutedge, Jackson, Calhoun, Clay,
Benton-blot ont these names. and countless
host of others, from the slave States and what
/
find men from these States now in Congress,
fully the peers OF any that you can name from
the North in craftsmanship, honor, integrity
patriotism, aud high moral and religious char
aCter? Do you not see some bright and shining
| lights around you from the South? | have read
no speeches that give more entire isiacton
than those OF the clear headed, broad minded,
candid, fair, patriotic Stephens Of Georgia, or
his associate Jackson. In their speeches they
seem to me models for smaller statesman to
look up to, and strive to equal.
/ few words as to your motto at the head of
your speech: The fanatacism of the Democrat
ic party" lfthere could be found in the DEM
ocratic party or in its history, any of thatele-
ment, certainly no one ought to be better quail
fed to deal with it than a gentleman from the
/ Republican ranks. They were born of it and
nurtured by it; it is their meat and drink
( their nervne and anodyne; their zeal in con-
tiict and their consolation in defeat. The Dem
ocratc party needs no defense; simple recital
of its biography is its highest eulogy., When
the measure of British insult was flll--when
for twenty years they had insulted Our flag
embarrassed and put under tribute Our COM
merce; when they had seized our sailors and
fired into our ships, and hung nnocet men for
being found on board an American vessel then

ted the national honor, and established new
name and a new flag over the ocean; aud from
that day to this all the progress and expansion
at home and honor abroad have been won by the
measures the Democratic party.
This glory will remain, in spite Of all that

Heaven prevent you) in the attempt you are
making to trample under your feet the covenant

of your success would he the hour Of your disso-

they lay down no principles; adhere to no name.
