No. SO

Eaylish are much moro likely to come IN BY a isnd
boundary like that than to do Us any harm Ia tine
Carriceaa sea. You have got afraid suddenly ina
some nation viii cone and take YOU, and that she
will stop at Caba and take drink when she Is
coming Do yoa want Jamaica for the sane res
soar ID, you want San Domingo for the same
reasons Why do yoa not want them! Because
there is no ne gro Slavery there. The negroes "A
the one have been made free, and IN tia otaer
have freed themselves. That is the reason why
you are afraid Of them. Just drop that shiveing
pretense. nv brother, you who won't Caoa ana say
that you want to possess il with its slaves, De-
cause it would not be worth cent without them
Leave il alone; it is not yours-it dont oeioas 10
You. II you send your hibusiers there, II Il was
matter of private account, if you sent parcel
of fellows to me, to q wealthy man like me hav-
ing $4,000 in mouey; if can prove that anu
they take the money can send you to the peni-
tentiary That is the morality Of individuals, but
the morality of nations seems to be. to take ali
you There is . country above US where a.
a tribunal We shall soma day ind Him, who will
tell yoa that thu same morality that prevails
amons individu als prevails between nations, and
il there is tribunal here. there is one elsewhere
where wicked rulers as well a. wicked subjects
have TO accouat for what they have done ia this
world, aud we have examples of this respoasiblIr
ty attaching before they got there. Run over
the history Of the world and see what Rome has
done.
Owls hoot in the palaces OF the Caesars, From
those palaces there went forth the voice OF impe'
rial Rome that shook the world. They thought
manifest destiny led them to it. bat manifest
judgment destroyed them. aud that was the end
of their power." They said We carry tbs plow OF
civilization TO the barbarian. You say that yoa
extend the area of freedom. That is Ike this
to make man free, you put pistol to his head,
and blow out his brains. You call the previous
question. aa1 take the vote with saltpetre and
lead. That is what you mean TO do with Cuba
and God Almighty will smi;e you as he did the
/ whitened wall
Let them alone and we can meet on the banks
of the Ohio and can take to fraternal embrace
those of Kentucky and Virginia ss of old, As |
have seen it in days gone by. when the footsteps
of the invading army Of England crossed the lake
and came on the frontier of Ohio with their bar
barous allies, and laid waste parts ofour Western
country with their tomahawks reeking with the
the red blood of the women they had slain, while
the bloody sc lips hung drying over their fires by
the long and beautiful hair Of our wives and
daughters, when we too weak to defend
ourselves. Their negroes came with their mas
ters, and should then have liked to have seen
any fellow get n habeds corpus for one OF them
1t is because are thus bound to defend each
other,tha your Constitution provides that We arc
bound to preserve this good feeling. Ii yoa are
assailed by foreign so!diery the freemen of this
laud are bound to rise up side by side with YOU
and defend your cause. 1t Is damnable to do
otherwise; it is Internal and the devil inveuted

carry it out but they have beon mistaken.
/ That is my view of the subject of the Fugitive
Slave law. That is the Republican view of the
subject; that is the Republican doctrine. They
don't like the way you have invented Of carrying
it out. Remodel the law, and tell them exactly
what the law is, and where the courts say it is
right; they will have to put up with it. If any
man takes You. my Republican friends, by the nap
of the neck and says, Catch my nigger." all You
have to do is to send for me, and lie never viii do
il over again. l will take him to some OF
those Justices that we have in this State Of
Ohio, aud he will never again order our white
men about; but when the majesty of the law is
resisted then hold that every man is bound TO
execute that law. Ii this be not done, you must
ask a despot to substitute his will tor yours
! If you don't like the law. you must remember
that yo1 made it. You elected the men that
! = de the law. Some people say the State ought
he oAAAAaA-a.~ That might have been right
enough, but in 1898 Congress made a law. Two
years aaerward the Constitution was made; aud
they gave it to Congress to do and the South
has enjoyed it since.
