THE "PECuIIAR INSTITUTION"
have spoken of the National Republican party.
Look at what have said in rational view. In the
first place is il not right, according TO the Democratic
rule Their idea, they say is the good OF the greatest
number II IL turns out then, that the white people
are the majority their interests ought be subseryed.
That is the doctrine they preach, but not the one they
practice All along here in the Slave States they say
our institutions are peculiar II Slavery, and freedom
of the press and of speech cannot exist together 1t rs
indeed peculiar instution-devilsh peculiar. IL Is
an institution Moreover that You can't talk about with
ont anger to somebody Well we say we don't want
any more of so very peculiar an institution.
A Voice-Set your nggers free.
Mr. Clay-They are, and now want 10 do the next
best thing. want to set those fellows that call them
selves Democrats, free-fOr God knows they need It
more than the niggers. Now, gentlemen, If you VIII
allow to tell you, nggers get good master some-
times; but your masters neither feed clothe you
but put their hands in the exchequer TO take out the
contents and the devil bit OF IL do they give TO you
poor fellows. have often thought of this, as have
seen Cufiy black and sleek working in the field and
then have seen the lazy dirty lousy Democrat unfed
and ragged, halloang: " Hurrah for Democracy and
damn higgerism."
Gentlemen | have sad enough. If all these truths,
presented to You in this plain, unvarnished style,
that YOU all can understand them, and comprehend
them do not move you no logical deductions that may
be drawn by fancy II, with all this living expe-
renee before you of that institution which has driven
your foreathers and from the Atlantic SLOPE and
which will drive you until you cross the plains of the
Far West and seek the shores of the Pacific you are
not moved; if the marks of eternal prosperity and
progress exhibited in and by the Free States of the
Union, in the unparalleled increase of population and
wealth. railroads and canals vessels at home and
sea; if the admiration of the world conferred upon the
great States of the Free North, and above all the
great schoohouses and churches-livng evidences
that God Almighty has declared that the unjust thing
OF Slavery shall not prosper-do not move you what
can say that you should hang upon my words, and
listen to anything that should be able to offer.
The speaker, making effort TO sit down, was In
terrupted by question as to the intention Of the Re-
publican party upon obtaining power. He replied in
language similar TO that used heretofore in the
of hia remarks.
