occupation Of free white men while we shall
oppose the reopening of the African slave trade,
we are ready to join you at any moment, and
incur any expense which may be necessary, TO
procure by treaty or purchase, in Central or
South America, the rights Of settlement and
citizenship for the colored men of all the States of
this Union now free or hereafter to become free
by the voluntary action Of States or of individ
uals. This would in no respect be a sectional
measure it would be national in all its aspects.
1t would not, in any manner infringe upon the
rights of the several States, nor of the individ
ual citizens of the States. AS the case now
stands, it is hardly practicable for an individual
or State to emancipate their slaves And,
because this measure would make States and
individuals free to rid themselves of slavery, if
they should choose to do so, it would by no
MEANS not in the slightest degree, infringe
upon their rights or constrain their independ-
ent action it would only make them free to
act for themselves, and in their own way. They
would remain free to hold or to emancipate
their slaves. If slavery be as the men of the
South say, blessing, they could hold on upon
it. and be blessed. But, if it be as the men of
the North maintain, an evil, they would no
longer be compelled to bear it as necessity,
for it would then be in their power to remove
it. When the people of the North shall meet
the people of the South, and strike hands to-
gether upon this question, as in my judgment
nine tenths in both sections will be prepared to
do when they fully understand it, every danger
10 the Union growing out of this negro question
will have passed away.

He opened it, glanced sullenly, and then,

at last, hinging down the closely written page,
he turned upon her one glance OF his eyes, all

Northern man can render himself acceptable
to the slave Democracy of the South, unless he
takes the position of Mr.. O'Conor, of New

FROM the Missi.sippian
EDWARD EVERETT ON SLAVERY.
Mr.. Everett made speech at Boston on the
occasion Of the great Union meeting there. His
strong card is conservatism and he likes to
play the part of pacifcator. Of course, he con-
dennis the raid into Virginia, but then he gave
the people to understand that slavery was a
great evil. The only difficulty was to get rid
of it. He viewed it as a question Of policy, as
"A matter of dollars and cents. He deprecates
the Abolition excitement, not because II is
wrong itself, but because il fails to free the ne
groes. He does not call it abolitionism, or
fanat;cSm, or any such truthful term. Oh, no;
with him, it is Irritating agitations of the
