Mr.. Huxrsaid: sExpsrience hAs demonstrA-
ted that the varisd forms Of iadustry and pro-
ductton contribute to the general strength, and
largely augment the benefits resulting from
commercial In terchange between the different
actions of the country. The notion that the
States Of the North and South cannot co-exiss
side by aide - friends and neighbors, and act
| together harmoniously in one national system.
| by reason Of the dissimilarity Of their dornes-
tic institutions. h m absurd and mschievous
| faiIacy, having no basis Of fact or sound argu
ment for It's support. Loud applause.) Our
whole history refut ties the proposition, and
common sense rejects il; Tor I emphaticaily
deny that there is any necessary antagonism
between African slave labor in the tropical
South and free labor In the temperate North.
(Cheers.r)
Mr. THAYBR presented the following strong
view OF the same question: "There are some
who gravely ask il there has not been for three
thousand years a conflict between free and
slave labor, and must no, always be as il all
arguments drawn from history or analogy do
not proceed on the fact or assumption, that
where there is such a conflict free and slave
labor exist in the same community, side by
side, under the same institutions, and gov
erned by the same laws, assuming forms of
competing labor and rival industry. Jap
plause. Good, good.) This is the essence Of
the whole thing. And there can be 30 conflict
in this country, unless il be from overt and az
gressive action on the part of free labor-(ap-
plause)-for the reason, first, that slave labor
exists in distinct and separate community ;
is created, regulated and controlled by the laws
of the States in which it exists; is recognized
and protected from interference and molesta-
ton by the Constitut ion Of the United States
(appiause)-an us ofths North hare no right to
meddie NTH it, psaceat!y or foycibiy, directly or
indirectly, politically or socially, in any form
manner. (Applause.p
UTTER WANT OF PRETEXT FOR AN ANTI-sLA-
VERY ORGANIZATION AT THE NORTH.
Mr.. HUNT made the following strong point
against the anti-slavery crusade:
"But it is urged that their real object is to
prevent the extension OF slavery I'M tree Ter
ritories. That was once a pending practical
question. 1t is 50 no longer. Kansas'is free
AS many Of us maintained that it must be. from
causes too powerful to be controlled by the eff
forts of politicians or propagandists. All the
territory affected by the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise is tree and must forever remain
SO. Cheers That battle is fought and won
and the troops should be disbanded. There is
no territory belonging to the Union in which
slavery can be probably established Every
rejecting man in the South as well AZ tho
North sees and admits the fact. Why, then.
prolong the STRIFE on mere abstraction after
the controversy is decided! The North already
holds a large preponderanoe of strength. She
can afford to be Justand magnanimous. Texas
was the last slave State admitted in to the MON.
Since that event the whole Pacific coast has
been added to the domain Of free territory;
tour free States have been admitted, and Kan
sas Is forthcoming. While the public ear is
wearied with the incessant ratings on the ex-
tension and the aggressinns of slavery, these
actual results show that in fact there has been
no extension whatever. tApplause.) Mr.. Pre-
sident, the age Of the Crusades is over, and the
country is entitled to repose.'

From Mr.. THAYERs speech We quote the
following striking passages:
ITO come, then, sqnarely up to the issue-to
grapple with it fearlessly and without parley
what is the present aspect and position of
the slavery question between the North aad
the South / think it is ON pretended in this,
that WIENEVER THE ANTI SLAVERY
SENTIMENT is INTRODUCED INTO
POLITICS AND MADE THE SOLE BASIS
OF PARTY ORGANIZATION AND AC-
TON, IT BECOMES ABOLITIONISM.-
prolonged applause-waving of hats.) X n 4
The anti-slavery sentiment as moral convic-
ton and opinion in the minds and consciences
OF men, no matter how strong, is passive
sentiment, and remains such until introduced
into politics. 1t then becomes an active agen-
cy-and, if it alone constitutes a party. if
there is nothing of the party hut what is based
on this, then we must see what is its antayo-
Rism, what it is directed against; for every
party is an active aud opposing force, formed
for posi- live and ag aressive action. Now will
you tell me what there is for a party, based
solely on anti-slavery, to oppose, to fight
against Not, certainly, the extension of sla-
very in Territories--thatc contest is ended. ZAP
