THE "IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT ~
THE TRUE AUTHOR.

The organs Of the Black Democracy harp
day after day upon passage in the speech OF
Senator Seward at Rochester, in which he states
that there is an irrepressible conflict between
Freedom and Slavery. Now, that is very fine
passage in that great speech, but it is not equal
to the following, which VIII be found in speech
of HENRY CLAY, uttered in the prime of
life after he had been candidate for the Pres
idency.
We give notice to the Black Democracy that
we intend to keep before the people this pas
sage from Mr.. Clays great speech, before the
Colonization Society, in January, 1927. So
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLEi Thai
Henry Clay as the author Of the " irrepressible
con9ist" doctrine
Extract from speech of Henry Clay before
the AHericGR Colonization Society, January,
l827.-iSee Tenth annual Report.
We are reproached with doing mischief by
the agitation of this question. The society goes
into no household to disturb its domestic tran
quillity; it addresses itself to no slaves, to
weaken their obligations of obedience. 1t seeks
to affect no mans property. 1t neither has the
power nor the viii to affect the property of any
one, contrary to his consent The execution of
its scheme would augment instead of diminish.
ing, the value of the property left behind. The
society, composed of free men, concerns itself
only with the free. Collateral consequences we
are not responsible for. 1t is not this society
which has produced the great moral revolution
which the age exhibits. What would they, who
thus reproach u.s. have done? If they scould
repreSs all tendencies to,cGrds Liberty and ulti-
mate emancipation, they must do more than put
dosO1s the 6enecoteiat efforts Of this society. They
must go back TO the era Of our Liberty and In
dependence, and Danzzle the cannon a0htch utta-
derS IT'S annual joyous return. They must re-
cire the slace trade, scih all its train Of atroci-
ties. They must suppress the scorkings of Brit
ash philanthropy, seeking to ametiOrate the con
ditiOn Of the unfortunate Vest Indian slaUes.
They must arrest the career of SoHth american
deliUerGnce from thrdldom. THEY MUST
BLOW OUT THE MORAL LIGHTS

GREATEST TORCH OF ALL, WHICH
AMERICA PRESENTS TO A BENIGHT-

THEIR RIGHTS, THEIR LIBERTIES,
AND THEIR HAPPINESS. AND WHEN
THEY HAVE ACHIEVED ALL THESE

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.

WAsHISGToS, n. c., august al, 1859.
We are here in Jail, on the charge Of abduct-
ing slave, the property of the Rev. Michael
Robbins, who was found secreted on board the
schooner George Harris, while on passage to
your city from this port, which caused us to be
brought back, when an investigation was had,
and we were committed to Jail, and are to be
tried for our lives in October. The penalty for
the same, by the laws of this State, is DEATH.
The vessel is owned here, and the loss to her
owners being great, we cannot expect help, or
even sympathy, from them, nor can we obtain
a lawyer without means, and can only appeal
to our Northern friends for help in our time OF
need" Public sentiment is against us We
are all colored men. The excitement is great;
and if funds can be raised to employ lawyer,
and we succeed in having our trial removed to
an adjoining county, with the meagre testimony
bearing on the case, we viii be'scquitted. Il
without counsel, and our case is tried here, with
popular feeling against Us, we fear the result,

POSITION OF THE NEW YORK m
M0CRACY.

The Douglas organs are yainly attemr,.,
create the impression that the "Democr,,
Convention at Syracuse endorsed the Dam.
sovereignty platform Of theif leader. The
lutons actually adopted by the Conveptoo g.
ford conclusive REPUTATION Of this assert.
So far from in any way giving counten,p,.
the Douglas theory, the Convention exr,s..
endorse the administration of Presij4n, n
chanan, and endorse his judicial platform .
laid down in the official organ. The fri ,,
resolutions are as follows:
ReSolred, That the administration of
Buchanan, elected at crisis in which M, ny
the traditional principles Of democratic go,.-
ment, but the integrity OF the Union i,..
were threatened by powerful sectional com.
nations, has justified, by its action and bv :,
wisdom and patriotism which have charactsr;,.
its domestic and foreign policy, the choic.

ResolUed, That We approve and reite-
the principles laid down in the Cincinnati n,
form as the true creed of the Demoor,-
party, and that We deny the right of anv DON.

such questions as belong to the courts to "a
construction of the Judiciary, and Congress
that subject has no power, the DemocracT
garding the interference Of that body to exc.
the South from participating in the Terriu-.
and the proposition for a Congressional ss-
code as equally repugnant to the spirit Of I,
Constitution, and uncalled for by any cons.ss
alton of public expediency."
This falls far short Of the popular so7er-v
ty " spoken of by Mr.. Douglas in his recent
say and speeches. Indeed, the idea of SOW,
eighty in the people of the Territories is Ne.
tived by the strongest implication, and the j
dietary is declared to be the only arbiter in /
case. Well may the organs of the Presid.
claim the result of the Syracuse Convention
a triumph of his policy. 1t can no longer
said that the President is without friends. 7
New York Democracy endorse the Presiit
and his Supreme Court policy, and reject
Douglas with his popular sovereignty, as v
as Governor Wise with his slave code.

THE ESSENCE OF DEMAGoGUIsM.

In the speech of Senator Douglas at Column
bus, he gave utteranee to the following senti-
ment, in which he, without design and merely
by instinct, lays down the creed of the dema-
gogue. He said
I" He held any doctrine to be unsound which
could not be carried and discussed in Column
bus and in Charleston, or New Orleans and
Chicago. There was something radically wrong
about any doctrine that could not be proclaimed
North and South, East and West-any doctrine
affecting the whole people, that was not as broad
as the country and as universal as the Consti-
tuition"
According to Mr.. Douglas, proposition, or
doctrine, in religion, morals, or politics, to be
true, must have universal acceptance; and II
any section or party of the nation hold to any
custom or regulation inconsistent with it, and
which is condemned by it, that fact alone con-
dennis the doctrine at once as unsound and
untrue. The logic of this statement is char
acteristic of the demagogue, whose highest sane.
ton is popular applause; and who "knows no
higher Law" than the various conflicting and
crude systems actually in existence. Not merely
the moralist and the philosopher, but the states
man, would be ashamed of such a sentiment
but it is the glory of the demagogue.
The Stiffness of the proposition need not be
illustrated for the benefit of our habitual read
ers; but, for the edi6cation of Mr.. Douglas him
self, we viii refer him to the denunciations o.
his fayorite theory of popular sovereignty
throughout the South as being worse than the
Republican theory; and especially to q remark
of the Richmond Enquirer, quoted by us las
week, in which Mr.. Douglass magazine ESSAY
is denounced as an Aincendiary publication

as a thanksgiving in New England without
pumpkin pies.
This part of the programme ran into the
shades Of the evening, having nothing to COM
plete it but a brilliant ball, In magnlhcent
tent. where there was beauty enough, If DIS
tr;hnted in moderate portions, to supply any OF
the last half dozen States that have been ad-
mitted to the Union. 1t was a scene dazzling
with fine dresses, graceful forms, and happy
faces, lighted up with profusion of gas-burn-
ers and enlivened by the music OF two large
| bands.
| 1t was tomorrow before the services of the
day were closed and the compans separated,
to remember and repeat the incidents of the
pleasantest centennial In which any OF them
had ever taken part.
Let it not be said that this space has been
devoted to mere local event. 1t is frsnght
with thoughts and reflections of character IS
expanded as the Union itself.
Such gatherings as these, called by aSsocia-
tons as hallowed as those which were awaken
ed in most of this vast assemblage, do not stop
In their influence or effect when the last wreath
has faded, or the last light been extinguished,
which may have served to decorate or give bril-
lancy TO an ephemeral holiday.
These men and women have come back to
the homes of their childhood, or those of their
fathers and mothers, from families and cities
and neighborhoods scattered all over the Union.
They are not the humble artisan, the small
farmer, or the small tradesman, whose opinions
aud influence are circumscribed by his shop or
the few acres he cultivates. They come from
all ranks and conditions of life-from posts of
honor and distinction, the bar, the pulpit, the
bench, the mart of commerce, and the thousand
fields of usefulness and influence within which
their opinions and sentiments form no tritng
element of the sentiment that sways their
respective communities.
And can any one pretend to measure the ex-
tent of the influence which such gathering as
this around the old familiar hearth. stone must
have upon the hearts and minds of the thou
sands and tens of thousands that crowded those
streets and hospitable doors
Nor IS this a solitary instance. There are
hundreds of just such corporations as Norwich
IN New England-not SO large, not so public
spirited, perhaps, but with the same elements
of local attachment and early associations,
which have sent forth their sons and daugh-
tiers to the South and to the West, and who will
love and venerate the places of their birth and
the teachings they there received in their child
hood, till they cease 10 feel the consciousness of
an identity with the boyhood or girlhood which
they recall away of in these remote homes of
their maturity.
And is it TO be believed that Union thus
knit together, if by no ether ties is to be severed
at the bidding of set of selfish politicians
Let them come and witness such a gathering,
and then see if they have in their mathematics
any terms by which 10 calculate the value of
the Union"

A CARD.

1t is due to the subscribers of the National
Era to state that the paper viii continue to be
edited and published under the provision made
by its late editor and proprietor, in view of bis
intended absence in Europe.
The Era will remain true to the principles it
has always advocated. Writers of eminent
ability viii contribute to its editorial columns.
It's literary department will be placed in able
hands, and no effort will be spared to make the
paper as nearly as possible what it has always
been.
The value of the National Era as the repre-
sentative of free principles at the National Cap
ital and to the family of its late editor as their
only available means of support, makes it my
imperative duty to continue its publication
without interruption.

speaker, as well as his other high qualifications
The Enquirer says:
