THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
"The Declaration of Indcpcnd-

way or1he reason Of their becoming slave hold
ing communities. It is sufficient Tor our pur'

and that they placed provision in the Consti'
move the disease By cutting of its source. TLit
was the abolition OF the slave trade. So general
was the conviction-tbe public determination
to abolish the African slave trade, TINT the pro.

in the Constitution, declared that il should no!
tutionnl provision was necessary, to prevent the
people, through Congress, from putting stop
IL the traffic Immediately nt the close Of the
war. Now. it slavery had been good thing,
would the fathers Of the Kcpublic have taken i
step calculated t. diminish its bcneticent int'u-
ence among themselves, and snatch the boon
wholly trom their posterlty! These communl.
ties, By their representatives in old 1udepend.
ence Hall. said to the whole world Of man =
ave hold these truths to be self evident that
all men are created equal that they are endow-
ed by their Creator with certain unalienable
rights; TINT among these are life, liberty and

verse. This was their lofty, and wise, and noble
understanding Of tue justice Of the Creator to
Ills creatures. Applause.l Yes, gentlemen,
to all Ills creatures, to the whole great fatnily
| Of man. In their enlightened belief, nothing
stamped with the Divine image and likeness
| WAS sent into the world to be troddcn on,
and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows.
They graspcd not only the whole rnce of man

beacon to guide their children aud their child.
RMS children, md the countless myriads who
should inhabit the earth in other ages Wise

established these great selfevident truths, that
wien in the distant future some man, some fac
tion, some interest, should set up the doctrine
TINT none but rich men, or none but white men,
tied to life, liberty aud the pursuit Of happiness
their posterity might look up again to tho Decla:
ration Of Independence and take courage to re-
new the battle which their fathers bcgan-so
that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the
humane and Christian virtues might not be cx-
tinguishcd from the land; so that no man would
hereafter dare TO limit and cltcumscribe the
! great principles on which the temple Of liberty

| Now, my countrymen, If ycu have been taught
doctrines conflicting with the great landmarks
o. the Declaration Of Independence; il you
have listened to suggestions which would take
away from its grandeur, and 1nutilate the sym
metrv Of its proportions: if ron have been in
clined to believe that all men are not created
equal in those iunllenable rights enumerated by
our chart Of liberty, let nc entrent you to come
back. Return to the fountain whose waters
spring close by the blood of the Revolution.
Think nothing Of me-take no thought for the
political fato Of any nun whomsoerer-hut
come back to the truths that arc in the Declara:

with me you choose, il ron will but heed these
sacred priciples- You may not only defeat me
