have said TO him, when be told Charles Sumner
with laughabe ignorance, that ho never heard Of
Virgil til he came to the Senate, 'Of course not ;
who ever expected you to hear Of Virgil in te-
nghted Virginia ?" Had stood in the Massa

resolution that the ignorant Senator from Virginia
he furnished with copy Of Virgil at the public

Clothe him educate him. send him to Yale or to

Aboltonis.s had claimed it all in the face Of thir
ty millions of people, every line in this inspired
book (taking up the Biblc) would have vindcatod
the tide and stood for the basis Of she enterprise
(renowed applause.) And yet, when We only
claim flavor, a homeopathic pellet, an almost in
fnitesimal fraction of the slaves rights, press and
pulpit, staesmanship and literature cry out, The
heavens are going to pieces the earth yawns at

Bible does not sanction Virgi' ia in selling every

My good friend Dr. Cheever thinks We have an
other sin to answer for and that is. libel the
I American Constitution. Well all can say is, I
will share in the fault betwxt the Americans that
e are and the Americans that have been. l was
+ afraid, in the present state Of American vitality,
/ that if we pot the whole load of sin upon our
shoulders it would crush us entirely out, and so
r | called Washington and Jefferson, Patrick Henry
and Judge Jay to help us bear up the load, He
, says do them injustice. All can say is, that if
the Constitution is good, and if the present cap
tain and the present crew, with spotlcss deck
and unsulied ships papers, started on a cruise,
and turned US into such pirates then the and

such a Union, where in the DEVILS name, should

ment but it is physically our constitution. The
North and the South, on this subject Of slavery,
are like two boys that went out in Boston on elec
ton day. One said,
"IIow much moncJ has your father given you'"
, 'IIe has given mo twenty-five cents said the
: ther. How much las your father given you :?
lie has given ninepence; let's divide" (augh
ter) The North and the South started with the
Constitution, with the idea that we should put our
culture, wealth. thrift enterprise, righteousness,
Christianity, into this rotten partnerShip of slave
! Democracy and we agreed to it. Washington
and jefferson knew it. My good friend asks
with an eloquouCe all his own "Who can believe
that Washington ever let them oist into the Con-
sttuiion Of the United States that dnmnable pro-
vision to bring back fugitive slave p Well,I do
not know that he did but knJw that when il
! was there he used it, Whether ho consented to
its being foisted in do not know; but after it was
in, even George Washingt gton-can speak purer
or q better name in that generation ?-even
!, George Washington could send to New Hamp-
shire (Charles Sumner read the letter on the floor
Of the United States Senao), and ask the collect
} or Of customs at Portsmouth to bring back to
Mount Vernon the slave that had sought the free
air Of the White hills, and was breathing it con-
trary TO law. But let il be said, to the immortal
honor of the great Virginian that he added, "if
the attempt to take her back will offend the preu
} dices of the farmers of New Hampshire, do not
} attempt to do it," Qoud applauso.) Would to
God that the prejudces of the farmers of New
Hampshire could have crowded out the prejudices
of South Cardinal But, unfortunately the preju.
dices of Carolina have choked New England
} What poetic justice it that on the very
} steamship which theDemocratic party hired to car
ry them to Charleston and to bring them back,
fugitive slave concealed himself And on the re-
turn voyage-as if it were Gods own manifest
hand held out to try thom-he was discovered.

life put back the steamer and returned him to bon
dage( ('shame]. Thank God the Democracy is an.

old story of the bar-room bully, who said that he
knocked bis antagonist down with such blow
that there was nothing left of him, The next
morning, they brought light and found grease
