gaI search of their persons, papers and
homes. Witness, gentlemen, all the re-
ported cases of outrage made through all
the Slave States, from the beginning of the
government, the formation of the Consti-
tuition, and ending in the year 1860. Look
to the record of all the Slave States of the
Union where outrages of this kind are not
only perPetrated, but are attempted to be
vindicated by the press, outrages against
which there is no redress, and none even
affected to be attempted to be enforced.
As false in the notification of the
laws of constitutional coruity. See the
case of Hoar and others. See the article
of the Constitution which authorizes citi--
zens of the several States to sue in the
Federal courts of the United States. You
all know how that was.
5. OF violation of the treaty with Mex
leo. There was war made with Mexico
while she was ut peace with us, where we
are told in the report, that our Gen. Tay-
Tor marched amidst men, women and chill
dren flying from their hearthstones in
consequence of the invasion of the United
States forces. A voice-"Who made the
warp The Democrats! They did it, as
they said "to extend the area of freedom"
and the way they now extend the area of
freedom, will tell you. 1 find Senator
of Texas was driven out of the commune
ty, Tor an ex-Senator,) because he said
that it was extending the area of freedom
to strike all these rights down; where he
could not have his own portfolio free from
search by Judge Lynch.
8. OF the practice of the Slave trade
Yes, gentlemen. distinguished persons in
the South have boosted openly, not only
that they inted to violate the laws prohib-
iting the Slave trade, but that they have
proceeded to carry their purposes into cx-
ecution, and had landed upon the Southern
coasts what have been VIGOROUSLY ack-
nowledged to be Slaves fresh from the
coasts of Africa, and we have yet to learn
of the FIRST punishment for this violation of
law.
ADVICE GRATIS.
Here remember to speak of those
Northern allies that to-day you are afraid
to trust. You are right. You are right.
I tell you now, you are right, and am
going to give you little extra advice
Some OF you were wanting to know how
long they will stand by you. They will
stand by you just so longas you pay them,
and no longer, and the moment you cease
to pay them, the moment you cease to
have possession of the Government, so
soon they will leave you. That is the
kind of men you have for your Nosthern
allies. Gentlemen, I take it that you are
here tonight, if was to get up here and
say that believed slavery was. "a divine
institution, and that all my previous de-
clarations were false, that was convinced
had been wrong, and that it was prefer
able to liberty, and n religious Institution
favored of God, as Gov. Magofin has said,
would not every one of you put your hand
upon your purse, for fear l would steal
your money? You would at once say,
''that man thinks to-day as he always did,
and in addition to all the rascalities we
have charged upon him, he is an Internal
hypocrite: we will not trust him." 1t is
because come out and tell you what
believe, that you to-day trust me to go
among your negroes. Move the scene over
the line, and it is just the same. That
man who has ever seen the sanctity of the
hearthstone preserved inviolate, and who
has zone into some common school to re-
cciye his education, and who has watched
the unparalleled development of the free
States, who reads his primer or his English
reader and studies the Bible, and rises from
the reading aud 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 q lie shall not live
forever. He who has seen all these things,
and turns round and tells you in the South.
81 have lived under all these institutions,
and l believe slavery to be good thing,
divine institution, the best state af 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 per-
iSh. That is the true sentiment. You
ought not to trust them.
will tell you whom you ought to trust.
/ trust the man who says: Gentlemen,
don't believe that slavery is divine in
stitution, that it is any source of political,
social and 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 bondage, because after all it
is blunder in an economical point oil
view; and although we are determined to
stand by your institutions, don't ask ms to
deny the life which We live out in living
letters, SO that all the nations of earth
can read. We not only believe liberty is
preferable, but we believe that slavery is
curse to white and black" That is the
man for you to trust.
am here to-day and gone tomorrow, but
tell you that if ever the time does come
when the slave holders need aid to protect
them from the violence of slaves rising for
freedom, that aid will come from the men
that are opposed to the Northern Democra-
cy, and not from the Democracy of the
North themselves, because there is not a
logical argument on Gods earth that can
bring them to the conclusion which they
pretend to draw. Therefore it was that
Stephen A. Douglas was ready to beat you
in 1878, when you were trying to force
slavery upon Kansas. He has backed
down beyond doubt to-day. But if you
had not elected him Senator he would
have been in the Republican ranks. You
