loud laughter1 l will face the music
myself, and / have got as many negroe!
as any man from the State Of Virginia
And as l invited the gentlemen of this
Convention at Charleston to visit my
plantation, l will say again that, if they
will come to see me, viii show them as
fine o lot of negroes, and the pure Afri-
can, too, as they can find anywhere

Renewed laughter. And I wish that
Virginia may be as good a slave trading
and slave breeding State as Georgia; and
in saying that do not mean to be dis
respectful to Virginia, but ! do not mean
to dodge the question at all.
Now, l want no Office, never asked
any, did nos ask the State Convention
to send me hero; but am here to tell
the truth to you all, and this is my idea
of non .intervention. I want the State
of Virginia, if she has negroes, to have
as many as she pleases. If you want
Slavery in the State Of Massachusetts,, I
want you to have it. If you want slave
ry in Indiana and Ohio, and Wisconsin,
and Minnesota, in Gods name have it.
1t is your right to have slaves, and just
as many or as few as you please; will
never join any party which desires to
force slavery anywhere, or to keep it
from any place. [Applause.] l believe
that is regulated by the law of God, of
natures God, and all history proves that
to be so, and all that l ask is Glands
off, leave it to the people of the States
and Of the Territories to settle that mat
ter for themselves under the Constitu-
tion of the United States. GApplause.
And now, while am up, l want to
put my veto upon one thing. l know
that am not going to be applauded in
what say but seed sown in good time
will bring forth fruit; and though you
may say now that l am wrong, yet
think / shall live to see the day when
the doctrines which l advocate to night
will be the doctrines of Massachusetts
and of the North, for
Truth crushed to earth will rise again:
The eternal years of God are hers;
While error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dief amid her worshipers.'
say go for non-intervention in the
broadcast sense of the term. l say that
this whole thing should be taken out of
tho hands of the General Government
l say i. is all wrong to be spending two
or three millions of dollars annually from
our pockets, and sacrificing thousands of
lives upon the Coast of Africa, in that

pay 81, 1000 for him, it is equally right for
US to 60 to Africa, where we can get
them for $50. Applause and laughter. I
Here is the condition we are placed in,
and you may as well como to your senses
and face the music.
There are 1000 of our negroes now
down at Key West begging and pleading
not to be sent back what would be the
result? One half of them would die
before they got there, and the other half
would be turned upon the coast of Afri-
ca, upon the coast of Liberia, among
strangers, to be eaten up by cannibals, or
be caught aud sold again, or die of star
walton; and this you call humanity. l
say it is piracy. say that our Govern
ment is acting against right and reason
in this matter. And if the Southern
men had the spunk and spirit to come
right up and face the North, I believe
the Northern Democracy at least would
come to the true doctrine Of popular SOW
ereignty aud non .interven ion. ZAP
plause and laughter
Now this may be secondary question
before US to night. The great point is
harmony and union in the great Demo
cratic party. Let us whip the Black
Republicans let us win the fight; and
when We have settled these things let US
act together and all will be right.
