the Slave Power You may cell this piracy disgracmg
us in the eyes of the civi lied word But can you
deny that Slavery needs power, and that 1t cannot OBJ
tain tbat power except by extension?
So pressed by Its nee ssues, it lays its hand
upon our national territories. Time ,uored com.
pacts hemning in Slavery, must be abrJgtt.
ed. The Constitution must be 10 construed as
TO give Slavery unlimited sway over OUr La
tio1 al domain. Hence yonr Nebraska bills and Died
Scott DECISIONS, and Slave Code platorms Hou may
call that airoCous but you deny It's consistency
But" adds the STAKEHOLDER, " Of whaI use Is 10 us

bills voted down and the blight Of oppressive specua
ton fastened upon your virgin soil, and attempts are
made 10 deprive the foreign immigrant IN the Terrific
ries Of the immediate enjoyment OF political rights,
which in the primitive state OF social organization, are
essential 10 his existence. All this in order 10 give
Slavery chance TO obtain possession Of our national
domain. This may seem rather hard. But can you
deny that Slavery Tor It's own protection needs pO yer
in the General Government That il cannot obtain
that power except by incr ased representation That
ii cam Of lis representation except by cOnquest
extension over the Territories and that with this
policy all measures Incompatible, which bld fair 10
play the Territories into the hands Of free labor
This lie ali. Listen to the STAKEHOLDER once more:
" Our States" he tells u, are essentially agricul
tnTa producing States. We have but little commerce,
" md still less anutacturing industry All legislation
tending 10 benefit the commercial and manufacturing
" in;eress principally, Is therefore TO our mmedae
" pre- udce. IL will oblge us 10 contribute 10 the
growth and prosperity oi the Free States at
pense and Consequently the balance Of political
Z" lower still more against We are, therefore,
obliged TO demand that all ateu pJs 70 promote, by
Federal legislation, the industrial interest be given
cup" Nothing NOR logical. The 81 stem of slave
labor has permitted them 10 recognize and de-
veCp The harmony Of agricultural and industrial and
commercial pursuits WHAT is more natural than that
they should seek give the peculiar economical nkr-
est LII which their superiority consists the prepOnder.
in economical policy Hence tleir uureient-
ing opposition 10 all legislation tending to develop the
peculiar resources Of the Free STAGE.
Here let pause. Is there anything strange or sur

By the Irepresbe power Of necessity 1t caunvt exist

willing TO cOncede that II struggles for self preser-
walton; but now the mOmentous questions arises how
DO Il means which TO be indispensable for the
seprt servaion of Slavery agree with the existence
and Interests Of free.labor society,"
Sir, if MIR. Hammond of South Carolina, or Mr..
Brown of Mississippi had listened to me, would they
lot be obliged give credit for having stated their
case fairly Now listen TO me- while srate our own.
Cast your eyes over that great beehive, called
the Free States. See by The railroad and the tee-
graphic wire every village, almost every lakewood
cottage dawn within tie immediate reach of progress
sve ciyilizt ton Look ain fields but Lately
a lonesome wilderness, where machinery is almost gu
psIsedng the labor Of the human hand over our work
shops, whose aspect is almost daily changed by the
magic touch Of inventive genius; fleets of
merchant vessels, numerous enough to make the
whole world tributary to our prosperity; look upon
our society where by popular education and the con-
tinUs change of condition the dividing lines between
ranks ana classes are almost obiterated; look upon
our system Of public instruction, which places even
the owest child of the people upon the high road of
proIe ssIve advancement; upon rapid growth and
exp ansive prosperity, which is indeed subject TO re.
and checks, but contains such wonderful fer
tlty Of resources that every check is incentive
for enterprise, every but mere opportu-
