doctrine that these States must be all free

The constitution, as our fathers made
it, is good enough for rae. cit is good
enough for US all, aud checrsl Mr..
Seward pretends that it isnot good enough
for him. He and his republican associ.
ates are ready to obey all the provisions
of the constitution with two or three ex-
ceptions. daughter, and voice, "Lct
us have the cxcoptions.) Well, | will
give you the exceptions. In the first
place the republicans tell us that their
conscienccs will not permit them to car.
ry into effect that clause Of the constitu-
ton which provides for the surrender Of
fugitive slaves. That is one exception,
presume. (Cheers} Mr.. Seward tells
us, in one of his late speeches that he is
opposed to that provision Of the constitu-
ton which recognizes unequal reprcsen-
tation in Congress between white men
and negroes, (Cheers) That is anoth-
er exception. Mr.. Seward, in the same
speech, also informs us that he is in favor
Of establishing the doctrne of an equality
Of rights and universal suffrage in the
States. Remember that all white men
have equal rights and universal suffrage
now. Mr.. Seward does not like that
lie wants to establish equal rights be-
tween the white man and the negro, and
universal suffrage in favor of the negro.

ing to the doctrine of the democratic par
ty, tlts government was made for white
men, for the benefit of white men, to be
administered by white men and nobody
else. lChecrs1 Mr.. Seward and his
followers think that it was made 10y white
men and negroes, for the kencGt of white
men and negroes to be administered by
white men and negroes, forever, on terms
of equality and universal suffrage. -
(Checrs) 1t is on this very point that
our republican friends feel so savage
towards tic Supreme Court for its lie
cision in the bred Scott case. In that
case the court decided that bred Scott
being negro, descended of African pa
rents, was not citizen of the United
States. (Cries Of Fright Correct,
"Good.') The republicans think that it
10 unjust, cruel barbarous, monstrous,
not to allow a negro to be citizen. -
And they say, because we arc opposed t.
making negroes citizens, therefore we
arc in favor Of making them slayes.--
That does not follow by any means. On
the contrary, the democratic party hold
that the negro race everywhere ought e
be permitted to enjoy all the rights, al
the privileges, and all the immunitie
that can be safely extended to them witt
the safety of society. (ChceIs) Per
haps, then, you would like to know what
those rights are, and the nature and ex
tent Of them. (Crios of "Yes.D
