THE EXPULSION OF THE CITIzENR OF MADISON
COUNTY.
So much in connection with that subject. |
admit that great many very respectable gen
tlemen in the county of Madison were in this
affair-inen for whose character and lives l
have profound respect personally, and good
feeling and friendship. All l can say is that
l regret on their account, this transaction, but
more especially do l regret the influence this
thing must have upon the large class of the
people of the country, who were receiving the
benefit of the education that these mem were
bestowing.
THE NEW GOD.
We are told also in that report that this
mass.5 Fee) imported new god-that the slave
holders god was not good enough for him and
his associates, and this is attributed as ii re-
preach. l knew the community in and around
Berea when I was boy, and | say that they
were Of the most vicious people that ever
did know a drunken tobacco chewing, whisky
drinking people dcbauchery and fighting
could there be seen az plainly as the noon day
sun. But now, how is all this charged. The
price of land has advanced as these gentlemen
themselves admit and morality reigns where
disorder was predominant Why, sir, they
have invaded the great State of Kentucky
How? With Sharps rifles, pistols and bowie
knives? No! but with the New Testament,
the school house. the church and the saw-mil.
Where before the inhabitants dwelt in huts
without windows and with mud floors these
meu have introduced neat frame buildings
hot nd i,,i 10
ness and dissipation, had been reformed and
| were going to one of the best schools in Mad
ison county, ana in SO saying, make no slight
exception. 4 certain degree Of selfrespect
had been inspired in the people, and / venture to
say that now there is no better people in the
| State than those who surround the colony Of
! Berea, in the county of Madison. This is the
new Gcd they introduced. No, sir no new
God has been introduced 1t is the same
God who before the long centuries created the
| heavens and the earth, who based HIS Throne
upon the eternal principles Of justice, and
draped it III the undying beauty Of harmony,
liberty and love.
THE IRREPREsSIBLE CONFLICT.
Another allegation is made against MIR.
Seward. intended to affect the Republican or
ganization. 1t is now alleged that h. has an
nounccd in his Rochester speech, this much
abused and cant phrase Of u conflict that
there is Il conflict between slave labor and free
labor all through this government and that
/ That conflict has been going on and will go on
until one OF the other utterly triumphs. This
is the assertion. We acknowledge tive own
up. So let examine it. Why, gentlemen,
| understood that to be the openly ayowcd
sentiment of Washington Madison and JEFF
ierson ! understood that to be the dcciai a.
ton Of the resolution in Virginia, for which
YOUR candidate fer Speaker Of the Democratic
parry. voted some years ago. | understood
iurthcmor.. that that was the declaration Of
81 late South Carolina legislature. and above
i 81. nave it here, tithen from the Louisville
Courier, the leading crgan Of the Democracy
in kentucky, mad; more than tcG years ago
You would like to read it. Then will you
have the goodness TO turn it to the files oi
that ipuri,al, and see il lie or not. (Cries oi
read it,
Will read the extract which I cut with my
5wu SCISSORS from the Louisville Courier. and
by referring to the flies of that paper, you viii
ind it in the wo:i5 which l tonight q1ote:
Il presume that it will not be denied that free
, labor AMI slave labor are Incompatible. The
white man is unwilling to labor 10y the side OF
the Save, and the Save is equally avcrse TO Ia
boring bv the side Of the white There
cx SIS mutual repugnancy, and it follows, OF
course, that the ma Of the labor OF Ken
| ;uc'ky must be wholly the labor Of the white
, man, or wholly the labor of the save"
il What think you of that coming from thi:
. high Democratic authority? Mark he extcn
. to which this gentleman carries the idea. No
L only that there is conflict, but he goes fur
Z fhcr. He says that not only does the white
= nan refuse TO labor with the Save, but mari
Y aim well, he pats the slave above the Demo
:, cratic white laborer of the commonwealth ant
: tells You the sentiment of the slave. Wha
then is his conclusion? Why that in the con
lct the "nigger" is to have precedence, so tina
save labor becomes entirely predominant ii
+ the commonwealth What sort Of Democrat
, ic teachin" is that In the name of God le
rs hear no more from the Democratic party
from Gov. Magoffin, or ice President Breck
inridge, of this thing about the higher law o
y of this eternal conflict between free and slav
= labor.
