5. Of the practice of the slave trade
Yes, gentlemen, distinguished persons IN th
South have boosted openly, not only that the,
intend to violate the laws prohibiting Slav'
trade. but that they have proceeded to carr
their purposes into execution, and had land
ed upon the Southern coasts what have beer
VIGOROUSLY acknowledged to be Slaves fresl
from the coasts of Africa, and we have ye
to learn of the first punishment for this VIC
laton OF law.
ADVICE GRATIS.
Here l remember to speak of those North
cru allies that to- day you are afraid to trust
You are right. tell you now you are right
and l am going to give you little extra ad
vice. Some Of you are wanting to know how
long they will stand by you They will stand
by you just so long as you pay them, and nc
longer, and the moment you cease to have
pc session Of the Government, SO soon they
will leave you. That is the kind of men you
have for your Northern allies. Gentlemen.
l take it that you are all men Of sense, and
SO put it to you here to mig hr, if l was to
get up here and say that l believed slavery
was divine institution. and that all my pre-
vious declarations were false. that l was con-
WINGED l had been wrong, and that it was
preferable to liberty; and religious institu-
ton favored OF God, as Gov. Magoffin has
said, would not every one of you put your
hand upon your purse, for fear | would steal
your money? You would al once say, "that
man thinks to-day as he always did, and in
addition to all the rascallties we have charx-
ed upon him, he is an internal hypocrite; W.
will not trust him. 1t is because / come
out and tell you what believe, that you to-
day trust me to going among your negroes
Move the scene over the line, and it is just
the same. The man who has ever seen the
sanctity of the hearthstone preserved invio-
late, and who has gone into some common
school to receive his education, and who has
watched the unparalleled development of the
! free States, who reads his primer or his Eng
fish reader, and studies the Bible, and rises
from the reading and tells you that from his
observation, the condition of slavery is the
true condition of humanity will some day
teach you that at last the unjust thing shall
not prosper, and lie shall not live forever.
He who has seen all these things. and turns
round and tells you in the South: II have
lived under all these institutions, and be-
lieve slavery to be good thing, divine in
stitution, the best state Of society,"" don't you
know enough to say that that man is not fit
to be trusted? Some OF your orators said to-
day. state the truth and make them tell the
truth, survive or perish. That is the true SEN
timent. You ought not to trust them.
will tell you who you ought to trust. l
trust the man who says: Gentlemen, don't
believe that slavery is divine institution,
that it is any source of political. social or
moral good; but l believe. you had better
try all the chemical power of Heaven and in
the winds, the steam power and the power of
the waters, than to hold the African in bond
age, because, after all it is but a blunder in
an economical point of view; and although
we are determined to stand by your insttu-
tions, don't ask us to deny the life which we
live on. in letters, so that all the nations of
earth can read. We not only believe that
liberty is prefable, but we believe that sla-
very is a curse to white and black" that
is the man for you to trust
am here to day aud gone tomorrow. but
tell you If the time ever does come when
the shareholders need aid to protect them
from the violence of slaves rising for freedom,
that aid will come from the men who are OPP
posed to the Northern Democracy, and not
from the Democracy of the North themselves,
because, there is not logical argument on
. Gods earth that can bring them TO the con-
illusions which they pretend to draw. There
fore, it was that Stephen A. Douglas was
ready to beat you in 1873, when you
were attempting to force slavery upon Kan
sas. He has backed down beyond doubt to-
day, but if you had not elected him Senator.

You are right. when you say you can't trust
these. "a voice-"we didn't say SOY You
