going to say, employ, but think will reverse it

great cities they bui great States compared with
these Free States There other distinction and that
is the Free State multiply and replemsh the continent
with Free States but the Slave States fail to multiply

they cay that the not in the nature OF Slavery
and Freedom relatively, bu' in the injustice OF not
allowing them first TO establish Slave States and Slave

logically must to reopen the African savelrade, and
co furnish the supply for the Slave States The oppo
sitiou ia founded upon this state Of facts. II Is not
reasonable to concede to it. We cannot concede to it,
unless we are willing to arrest the prosperity,
the growth, and greatness OF our city, OF our
State, and OF our country. That would seem 70
end the argument; but they then resort to terror
and to menace. They tell us that they will with
draw their trade from the city Of unless her
otzer will vote they require them to vote for their
supposed inereet. Is it best to yield TO them Why,
fellow citizens NewYork is not province of Vir.
GINA or Of Carolina any than they provinces
of New-York or Connecticut. New-York is the me- |
,ropoiis Of the country, aud Newlork must be the
metropolis Of the continent. Her commerce, like her
press must be elevated equal, just, impartial toward
every State toward freedom at least if they must be
tolerant Of Slavery. But they proceed TO tell us that
if we do not concede to their demands, they will |
tecede, dissolve the Union. Shall we then |
surrender That involves the question whether they
will secede and dissolve the Union we do not. What,
then is it propose to do, which they request us not
to do2 Why, it is simply to vote for the man that
prefer the three men, or the no men, that they
prefer. lCheers and laughter Is there any ofense
10 tbatl Why that is Just what the Constitution says
we ray do; and nsonuch as there must necessarily be
difference among us, the Constitution requires every
man not to vote for the that somebody else wants
elected but for the that he himself prefers
every body else. Applause. Well they say that, |
nevertheless, they must take ofense, and in |

far you are all right, why then will you dis

pessons upon after they are elected. Very well,
we say, but is it not prudent and reasonable to wait
for them TO be elected frs and commit the aggression,
or attempt to commit the aggression? Cheers. They
answer No." we cannot afford to wait for an overt
act because the overt act may never be committed.
Or if it shall be committed we ehall be 80 much de-
morazed that we can't resist. Laughter and ap-
plausel Well, won't argue the latter point; for |

selves. | know their manhood, their spiri their
courage, and their chivaryi aud ! know enough of
human interests to know also that he who waits until
an overt act is committed before he strikes back will
