1t was my fortune to have served in the

Louisiana at the time Of the passage Vi
the measures u which he has REFEREED
Ny votes l can sver were 81 en- to sustain
what ! deemed to sound, constitutional
principles. and perhaps . true reflex OF
the sentiments Of the Democracy Of NY
section Of the Union and Of our disrin-
linguishsd candidate f,r the Presidency. -
How strange aud unnatural that Ste phen

feelings Of opposition, IL not hostility, BY
Southern men.

of . Southern State. In the House OF
Representatives he fought the most memo
rab!e legislative battle on record, to relieve
the South from the oiious and unconsti,u

do tie South owe. more than any other
two living men. that great measure uf de-.

Never since the days OF General lack.

pride and glory it was to have voted
against the "Wilmot Proviso" in all i,s
shapes and phra.es-t" have votel for all
the Compromise measures of 1850, the
Fugitive Slave Law included-and for the
Kansas and Nebraska bill Of 1854. The
INSTRUMENTATION Of affairs in Kansas.
and the sudacious interference of the peo
pie OF Massachusetts and Missouri in the
affairs OF that Territory, caused the over
throw Of the Democratic party IL the
Northwest, while i, only gained Kentucky
and Tennessee in the South. Surely
States owe their redemption from the 90
position to our self imnplation for them,
should be slow to ask US to Join in forming
new issues. such ~ must prove disastrous
both 10 our party and country
Allow me 10 say en- pa SAINT that Della
ware was 70" the % Wilmo, Proviso" when
Iowa Was helping to Ggh, the battle of the
South against it. Our fathers we're defeat
ed for voting with your father. for the Mis-
souri, restriction of 1920: their sons have
been overwhelmed with defeat for voting
with you for it's repeal. Let ", now that all
obstacles are removed. strictly adhere ~

that exalted station; but We would no, be
his friend or supporters if We. did not
know him 10 be in favor Of the equality
OF the States and Of even and exac, instice
to the people of every one Of them. II hp
had the slightest faint Of abolition about
him, or if all his past life were no, guar
anty that he would use the army. navy

clothed for the protection Of the South,
and d" it justice in the formation Of his
Cahins, and the distribution Of his patron
age, Ne would. instead Of supporting, scorn
and spurn hin. Arplsnse
Speaking Of the South brings to mind
that it was my destiny to have ancceeded
my honorable and distinsu. he'd friend from
Louisiana Mr.. SouI-) in the discharge of
an important public trust in . foreign
