is not . single true Republican but will shed
his last drop OF blood before he will submit
to this; they will fight you for thousand
years ere they will slbunss; they Will not re-
lapse into French serviiude-
We preach no new doctrine, We invoke no
new God, but standing BY the old doctrine
of '76. upon which our fathers fought and
died. we say, with Crittenden, that .'thsi
which is good to stand upon is good ground
to fall upon" We invoke the people of the
North and South to stand by the Constitution
Of the United States, and indicate it beyond
the possibility of doubt. Who are the
men that have avowed the intention to dis
solve the Union? Look at all our record
/ Not . single county meeting, nor distric,
convention. nor State assembly, nor nation
al convention of the Republican party has
ever declared that, in any emergency, will
they dissolve the Union. No, sirs, we say
all the time that We submit to Democratic
rule while you shareholders rule US. and we
submit because we know Of no other policy,
no other alternative. except it be force, and
when that is used all law is silent, and the
Government becomes desp, tism; whenever
you resort to violence you have an anarchy
as has Mexico, which is continually at war
because it does not stand by any Constitution
or law. All our pledges and our antecedents
prove that we are bound to be loyal TO the
union of these States; and. therefore, l say
We can safely claim your suffrages, not tax
ing us by our svowals. but taking US by our
acts II we have submitted for eighty years
We are willing TO submit for eighty years
more, unless we can pursuade you TO take
hold of those glorious privileges which we
feel to be right.
HELPERS CRISIS.
There is man in Carolina whose father
was born, it is said, upon North Carolina SOIL
and we know not how many centuries before
his ancestors lived there, and it happened
that he belonged to that large class of North
Carolina that may be called the working
class, the non shareholders. He saw the in
tiuence Of slavery upon the interests of that
class Of men. and he broke away from the
trammels of that party. and published book,
and he tells US that however good a thing
lave labor is for the stakeholder, free
,bor is better for the Shareholders. He
axes up the census Of the United States
I'D he complies at all unques,ioned. and
hows how the institution Of the South affects
he mass. He appeals to these masses and
SKIS them to see for themselves and act upon
leir knowledge thus obtained, if this thing
- not according to the doctrine OF Jefferson,
lis which believe was pretty good Democ-
acy once?
Now about this book l am going to be
rank. l did recommend this book. | say
have real this book carefully, and there is
not single ineendiary doctrine in it-there
Is not single appeal to the slave. If it be
asurrection among apeople protesting to be
tree TO appeal to the legal white voters of the
aountry. for whose protection the Constitu-
zion processes to be made. to rise from a serf-
dom to the same power and control of the
government that the free laborers and free
people Of the North have done; it is insur-
rectlOnary.
Let me go one step further, and say, that
there were some places in that book publish
ed by him tn at we did not regard as just;
and 10 asmuch as we conceived that the slave
holders held their property on the tenure that
the British held it, we thought it was Pc
litical question-we thought that the slave
holders should not be taxed. wrote to him
that that was foolish thing. but i. was uu.
derstood that all these Objectionable things
should be expunged. as Mr.. Blair. of Nilsson
ri, has said. He says it was understood that
these parts were to be stricken out, not that
they were incendiary. but that it was blum
der not to be urged.

what l say.

have stood by you all the long days of
my youth and manhood, ex,inguished all the
aspiration of ambition. suffered ignomny aud
contempt, been denounced, spurned and
avoided by the men whose interests was ar

the black man; but still holding myself true
to one purpose, stand there still. What to
me now are the rosy tints Of life, with my
hair silvered over. with my sinews stitfened,
with age; in the course of human events,
have but little time to remain here. l say,
kentuckians, come war, come peace, | trust
in God may have the fortune to stay there
the re of my days. and that although the
millions may depart from me, there will be
in Kentucky one standing true to the last.
whose aspirations may be. however vision

which l would have float over US. The
same old banner of 1776-each stripe with
the progress of the ages paling into bright

Webster its motto no such miserable inter
rogatory, as what is all this worth? Nor
those other words of delusion and folly,
"Slavery and Union" far less Slavery first
