and OF WashiDgOn, who expressed his desire to see

Ths then, is what the fathers intended to effect TO

the dilemma Our answer is understood. If Wash
DgtcD Madison and Jefferson were Abollllons's, we
aie. Mr. Mason Gays they were mott wei, then, we
not for policy has been theirs, and theirs nag
become ouTs. Loud cheers
Viii this policy effect solution Of the conflict IL
will because it viii harmonic our Social and political
deyelopn en with the tendency Of cur sge, by neu-
tTalzirg the obstacles that aud in its way.
But am told that these obstacles refuse to be neu-
tralzed. TDty will resist. Resist by what BY die
solving the Union. The dissolution Of the Union
Tls spectre has 20 long haunted the imaginations OF
uFerous peOl e that it Ia time, at last, 10 anaomze
the blOvdefs BODY.
They thresten 10 dissolve the Union. Why? First,
because We do not stop the agitation OF the Slavery
question. II is true do discuss every social prop
len that presents itself TO our considerations we agate
IT, aud do ct ean to stop. And, therefore, slave
holders you will dissolve the Union DO you think
shall make haste to stop the agitation-'o muzzle
mouths and our press after you have dissolved u
United as we are with you at present, we certainly
are not devoid Of frstera sympathy; but let the a;r
monious feeling arsing from divorce embltter our
relations will not the agitation, which annoys you
nor, be hundred times more dangerous to yoa then
ICheers
Second You threaten to dissolve the Union, because
do Lot show sufficient alscrity in the catching OF
fugitive slaves. True, we are not much i1clned TO
perform for the STAKEHOLDER mental dirty service,
which hs would hardly o0p TO do for himself Enhu-
siastic cheering. And, therefore, you will dissolve
tie Union DO You not zee that, while now, indeed,
a great many slaves escape. the North would after
dissolution, scoIn TO surrender single one Would
not Lat is now the Canada line be removed rlght 70
tie banks of the Ohio
Thirdly You threaten the dissolution Of the Union,
ecause do not mean TO surrender the Territories 10
Slavery. True, we mean 10 use every constitutional
eaus within our reach TO them for Free Labor.
Ann therefore YOU will dissolve the Union Do you
think that, afe dissolution, we hll courteOusly
invite Slavery to make i!sef comfortable on our
national domain AS things are now, " champions OF
free labor" such as Douglas, may occasionally offer
.oha q, f,r a -
times as large as the Sta Of New-lOrk, but Will
tbst be possible after the Union s dissolved? Mark
well what position the North will take if by a revolu-
tionary act against National Government you
should attempt 70 cut loose from the Union. The
Ter tories are the property of the Union as such ;
those who, in a revolutionary way, dss.rt the
Union, give mp their right % the property of
the Unicn That property tre Territories will remain,
where he Union , and the Slave Power woulo
co well rst to consider how much blood it spare
tefCre 1t attempts TO strip the Union of single square
foot Of ground. Tremendous cheers Thus, while,
aocoI ding 10 Judge Douglas you no have chance to
principle that chance will De entireh goae as soon as
by secession you give up the leaat shadow Of right
to The property OF the Union.
Lastly, yOu threaten TO dissolve the Union, if the
North refuses 10 submit TO the exclusive economical
policy Of the planting interest You want to establish
the commercial and industrial independence Of the
SlavehOdiDg States. For years have held South
ern Conventions and passed resolutions 10 that effect
You resolved not to purchase any ger the products
of Northern industrial labor, but to build your own
iac' cries not to carry on your exporting and impOr
ting trade any longer by Northern ships but to estab-
hsh steamship lines and commercial connections your
own. Well enough. Why did you not do it, after
having Iesolvedit? Was it want of money You
have an abundance Oft. Was it want of determine.
ton Your resolutions displayed the iercest re Al.
hat was it, then? And, indeed, the failure is mag
nifcently complete. Senator Mason's homespun coat
