CHICAGO, MONDAY,7APR1L Is, 1856,

that Is not the point-1 am talking abou. this
matter in the court Of conscience, in the court
ofright and wrong; and insist that any laws
for en.laying men have Just the same moral
force IS the arrangement among robbers and
pirates for distributing their spoi1s.
want to know By what right you can come
and make me slaEes want to know BY what
right you can saF that my child shall be your
slaref want to know bF what right you say
that the mother shall not hare her ch1Id, given
to her from God through the martyrdom Of ma
ternity: Hear that soft exquisite wa1ble Of Il
mothers lore:
"Ese !sst yeAsa tur had let the sky,
aad dGiatat f5iata e. :SS?fRt g asxnes 5ax ta9:sa ns'
Us tlay wings upon ny bresss."
Now where is the wretch who would dare to
70 up and take that duttering and painting bird
ling from the bosom Of its mother, and SAY, a. It
is NINE; I will sell it like calf; I will sell it
like pig!" What right had that mother to
her babe, Was it because she was '' Fanny
Forester" the gifted authoress; WAS it because
she was the wife Of venerable and veucrated
missionary: No, it was because she was its
MOTHER; and every s1aFe mother has Just IS good
q title to her babe as Fanny Forester bud
to hers. No laws can make it right to rob her.
/ say, in Gods name, my child IS mine; aad Jet
not to his child. Not PARTICLE The same ar-
liberty, proves the right Of every hu1nan being
to his. The argument that proves ny right to
my children, glves the same title, the same So
cred claim to every father. They, as I, get it
from their God, and no human enactment can
annulthe claim No, sir, neser! Therefore,
every slave has right to bis freedom, in spite
ofyour slave laws. Every slave has right to
run away, in spite Of your slaye laws
tell you, Mr. Chairn.auy aud tell you all,
that if I we're slave, and had the power. md
we're it necessary to achieve my freedom. I
would not hesitate to ill up aud bridge over
r aud the heaven of freedom with the car
cases Of the slain. Girc me my freedom.
Hands off: Unthrottle that man. Give him his
liberty. lie is entitled to it from bis God. With
these views, I do not think, Of course, it is any
harm to help away a slave. I told you that
year ago. 1need not repea. it.

nation croucbed and covered in the presence
Of this stupeDdous wr0ug. Here and now
break the spell, and disenchant the Republic
from the incuntation Of this accursed sorccrcss,
It is simply q. question whether it will pay to

X moment. sir. Let us look at this question
aside from its moral aspects. AID j want to know
what right slayery, OF a Stakeholder, has to 70
with slayes into the common Territories of the
United States? You talk about the equality of
the States, and grant it. The citizens Of q
slave State buye a}l Ito ri.ktz in the Territories
that citizen Of tree State hus. You haze thu
right, concede. to 70 into the common Terri.
tories aud lire there with any kind Of Of prop
perty we can take, but you hare not the right Il,
take stares. IhiA is the distinction make.
At liberal estimate there are not more than
two millions of people in the United States in
te1ested in slayc labor. There are only four
hundred thousand Shareholders. There are
thirty millions Of people in this country. There
aretWenty eight millions interested ia the sys-
TEN Of free-labor, and tWo millions in that of
Stare labor. The free system accommodates
some eight millions in the slarc States better
than the slave system. Here is The point. II
slavery goes into the Territories, free labor
not go there
Tie presence Of slavery without any local law
for the purpose is the exclusion OF free labor.
