Ths eensleman from Va, (Mr. Millson) the
csAsr day went further and said such q man
vss not &c to liss, yet the Republicans received
tlsis remark a Inuts as fishes and gentle as
lambs, and they must regard this observation
Ersta him not as q menace but sober truth
us had bcen served with notice from the Re-
uabiican side that they were determined not to
listen TO any further remarks from him. For
sh;s he did not care. He would tell them the
eoyatry held its breath in suspense, and listens
"a che sInhsest word which falls from the lips
ef gentlemen here present.
The Union had been threatened; he occupied
q posisicn Of neutrality; ne was not Northern
man. and had no sympathy and very little gooo
sesline for the North. He was bound to it by
po ties whatever, except by the strongest OF all
ties, common Language, common country;
least OF all was he q Northe n man with South
err principles He was United States man.
with United States principles, he was for CIV
ing the South all that belonged to it. the Fugl-
tive slave. law, the right to slavory in the terri
tories, and whatever rights the Constitution
coaiers. Our fathers made this compact, and
he would yield to it not grudSing, but rea-
dy obedience in all its parts. Applause lie
was not pro-slavery man or non ro-sla7ery
man, but a serene indifference on the subject.
tis thought he occupied the constitutional
ground Of our fathers in whose days the people
vysre animated by patriotism, and had not as
soue haye now an anti-slayery god, an anti
slavery Bible and an anti slavery Constitution.
He avowed himself Western man by both
sentiment and education, while at the same
tina hs avowed himself Constitutional man.
Ns said Mr. Corwin had been detailed to lead
tia iorlorn hope of the Republicans and to be
shot down at the Malakof, Hc could never
conquer.
The next census would show that the Valley
VI the Mississippi has majority of the people
Of the country who will administer govern
rnent for the benefit vi all. The people have
lent themselves too long to the North TO make
cause sgaint slavery and help tc fight Tor Nor.
thern masters who, il successful with Seward
or any other Republican, would divide the
polls among themselves. If they would no
listen to the voice Of patriotism, let them bt
governed by selfrespect; let them lay aside
their fanaticsm and be Western sectionalsts
lie dssplsed them as much for their servillty II
the North, as they could despise servility il
others to the South.
He came now to speak OF the painful and dif
flcult subject OF disunicn, which had become a
familiar as the most ordinary word of saluta
ton. There was not day but what the
heard the croaking of the ravan apd the mourn
ful Iirge like wall. He declared in the cours
Of his remarks that he was against disunio
now and forever. He held to one union, on
constitution, one destiny, which could not b
fulfilled except by united people, and by tn
immediate, total and unconditional destructio
Of the sectional and anti-slaVery Repubca
party. tApplause,l
