GEN. JAMES WATSON WEBB-A Re-
publican leader, said, in the PhiladelpEi ia Con-
yention:
"Ifwe (meaning the Abolitionists) fail there,
(at the BALLOT box) what then? We will drive
it (slayery) back sword in hand, and so help
me God believing that to be right, | am with
them"
HORACE GREELEY, Republican; .
II have no doubt but the free and slave States
ought to be separated. The Union is notworth
supporting in connection with the South"
JOSIAH QUINCY, Republican of Boston:
"The obligation incumbent on the free States
to deliver up fugitive slaves is that burden, and
it must be obliterated from the Constitution at
EVERY HAZARD"
HORACE MANN, Republican of Massa-
chusetts:
II have only to add under a full sense ofmy
responsibility to my God, ! deliberately say,
better dlsunion, better a civil or serwie war,
/ better anything that God in his Providence
shall send, than an extension Of the bounds Of
slavery
Mr.. BANKS, present Republican Governor
of Massachusetts,:
81 am not one OF that class of men who cry
| or for the perpetuation Of the Union though I
an willing, IN certain state Of circumstances, to
| let ii slide"
Mr.. BURLlNGAME, a Republican Con-
gresham:
| "lhc times demand, and we must have an
/ ANTI.sLAvERY CONSTITUTION, AN ANTI-SLAvE
! RIFLE ANN ANTI SIAyFfV
BURLINGAME, again:
"When we shall have elected a President as
we will, who will not be the President o par
ty, nor of section, but the Tribune ofa people,
and after we have exterminated a few more
miserable doughfaces from the North. then, if
the SaUe Senate agW not giUe aody, aCe OiU grind
ii Jet,ceen the 'I,per and neither mRlstOnes Of our
powcr."
ABRAHAM LINCOLN of Illinois, lead
ing Republican of the West:
~ believe this government cannot endure
permanently half slave and half free. do not
expect the house to fall, but do Expect it will
cease to be divided. 1t will become all one
thing or the other. Either the opponents of
slavery will arrest the farther spread of it, and
place it where the public mind shall rest in the
belief that the course Of ultimate extinction, or
its advocates will push forward till it shall be-
cume alike lawful in all the States-old as well
as new, North as well as South"
SENATOR WILSON, Republican, of Mass
achusetts:
"1et us remember that more than three mil
lions Of bondmen, groaning under nameless
woes, demand that we shall cease to reprove
each other, and that we labor for the r deliver
ance.
81 tell you here tonight, that the agitation
Of this question of human slavery will continue
while the foot Of slave presses the soil Of the
American republic.
1--WE shall change the Supreme Court of the
I United States, and place men in that Court
who believe with its pure and immaculate
Chief Justice, John Jay, that our prayers will
be impous to Heaven while we sustain and
support human slavery"
BENJAMIN F. WADE, U. S. Senator from
Ohio, Republican leader;
"T'Acre is really no union nor Jet,oeen the
North and the South, and he believed no two
nations upon the earth entertained feelings OF
more bitter rancor towards each other. than
those two nations Of the Republic. The only
sa7uoho;s Of the Union. therefore, acas to be tound
in djveshing it entirely ofaH tai't Of S2avay."
SENATOR SUMNER, Republican, of Mas.
sachusetts:
"1he good citizen, as he reads the require
ments of this act, (thc fugitive slave,) is filled
with horror. X Here the path OF duty
is clear. an b0and to diSoJey this act

! this bill Willie executed lere "--Charles Sum
ner October, 1850, in Boston, and August 26,
1852, in the U. S. Senate,
SENATOR SUMNER, November, 1855:
Not that love the Uniou less, but free
dom more, do | now, in pleading this great
cause, insist that freedom, AT ALL HAZARDS,
shall be preserved. God forbid that for the
sake OF the Union"
w. II. SEWARD, Republican, in the Senate
OF the United States:
"Ihe Constitution regulates our steward
ship. The Constitution devotcs the domain
TO union, to justice, to defence, to welfare, to
liberty. But THERE IS A HIGHER LAW THAN
TIE CONSTITUTION which regulates our author
ity over the domain, and deyotes it to the same
purposes"
He declares for collision and an irrepressbe
conflict between the North and South--a bloody
issue:
"Thus these antagonistic systems are con-
tinually coming into closer contact, and col.
lison results. Shall | tell you what this col
lison means? They who think that it is acci.
DENTAL unnecessary the work of interested or
fanatical agitators, and therefore ephemeraI
mistake the case altogether. 1t is an IRRE-
I PRSSlBLE CONFLICT between opposing
and enduring forces, and it means that the u
nited States must and WILL sooner or later, be.
come entirely, free labor nation. Either the
cotton and rice fields of South Carolina and
the Suger plantatiL MS OF Louisiana will uti-
: mately be titled by free labor, and Charleston
and New Orleans become marts for Legitimate
merchandise alone, or else the rye field and
wheat fields Of Massachusetts and New York
must again be surrendered by their farmers to
slave culture and TO the production Of slaves,
and Boston and New York becomes once more
markets for trade in the bodies and souls o
men. 1t is the failure to apprehend this great
truth that induces so many unsuccessful at.
tempts at final compromise between the slave
and free States and it is the existence of this
great fact that renders all such pretended com
promise, when made, vain and emphemeral.- -
Startling as this saying may appear to you, 'e
low citizens, it is by no means an original o.
even modern one" aas9
