The Slsye Trade il revived, and now the only
question is, whether the laws which prohibit u
shall be repealed or not.
know my Democratic friends s9y that they
said Of the Missouri Compromise. So they said
Of tho Fugitive Slave Law. So they said of
every event in this long train Of submission,
which hiss been consistently fulfilling its course
They have always said that they would not con
sent, and yet they always consent What
ground have Jou, my Democratic brother, that
they llnot eoasml7 Whist grsund have you
to say that the saupe course which has been pur-
sued heretofore will not be pursued ag1in: II
you will admit SlaTery into the Tas1tories, Why
not into the Stateai II you admit the carrying
Of slAres into the Territories, Why not from
Africas II you consent 70 the Dred Scott dect
sion which established Slavery everywhere, arc
you prepared to resist the Arguments which
will be addressed to you in favor Of the Slave
Trade? It is impossible. There j. no Fopnd
Of reason or conscience upon which those who
consent to the aggresslons already made should
not consent 70 these further aggressions:
Then, - have said lrssdg; that will not be
all; but they will claim that Aares once intro
duced into the country may be sent into the
froAE CT and hhYa IF mt fhR African
Slave Trade, It least the American Slave Trade
revived in all the State.
EXPERIENCE.
Some people will say that this is Ill imagina-
tion. hut, ny felboN.axhess, 4 hare seen the
workings and progress of this party for the last
fifteen years.-f hare observed them all the
while, md have. from time to time, lifted up
my voice in Waruipg Of the aggressiens sought
to be made. I bare always found that every
thing that supposed coaad take place has been
transcended By that which has taken place.
did not dream feu years ago, when I resisted,
in the Senate at Washington, the Fugitive Slare
Act, that the measure would be indoFsed by The
Democratic party, aud inscribed on their ban
ner in the election Of = PreAident But saw it
done. But even then, when they had elected
their President, ane had submitted to the 'Fugi
tire Slave Act aud the Compromise Of 1850,
did not dream there WIS aoy further hurliliation
in reserve for u.s. did not suppose that this
guarantee of Freedom, by which The Territory
was protected - Free homes for the Free men,

that ether Judges would assent did not dream
that they could sanction such an act. WhatAia

that decision pronounced /
Still When Mr. Stanton, Ar. Buchanan's SEC

There are other topics upon which woul
I'm Il frt1F DO
fl for their owa interested purposes to uttel
that the Republican party il unEiendly to th
foreisn-born citizen. shall not speak Of to-day
except siMyly to yay here, that brand It Us
falschood. Ny own course is before you. y
man can point to the act or word Of mine wh1c
has not breathed the hreadest spirit of Liberal
II and freedom for all, without regarding tn
country from which he came; and | here pre-
test 10 common with the Republican party
against against any such discrimination as III
Federal Government. has lately proposed t
sanction, in the Cass letter. while also rrotes
acaiust any such discrimination as has bee
imposed By Law In the States Of South Carolin
aud Massachusetts.
TIE HOMESTEAD BILL.
Thtre'is another point to which should ais
like to speak to you, because regard It rs :
tal. refer 10 the Homestead BILL The r.
publican party stands BY the Homestead Bill
shat is to say. they stand by the principle th
il is great deal better that the public lands
the country should pass into the hands Of SC
tiers, that they should ali have opportunity
tuke up those public lands, with little or :
price, and cultivate them, the country looklr
for remuneration, not to The price Of the lam
but 10 the increased wealth resulting from II
settlers industry. 1t is the policy Of our pa!!'
to have free homes for all, and because th
homestead bill contributes 10 that end we e
dorse it. know thas-t&.c Democratic party
the State Convention endorsed it too, but Wh
do they at Washington? In solemn phalaI
they voted against the bin. All the slayehol
ers in the South, aided By great body o! u
Democracy Of the North. united in rotiu
down that proposition. They 80 united Ia
winter. They will SO unite again. What go<
does it do thntyour Democratic party here pr
test against it! None! We want votes U.
can party have given ior it. and these they VI
continue to giSe, and this id-my: fudgme
marks it NJ the pa1tF of the people, aud not
the party Of an o{igarchy.
