After some more plain talk Of this sort, Wade
referred to the Southern complaint that, ths
American Government is u failure to such q
degree that they mediate its utter distinctions
and asked in that connection how happens it
that you who have been in power in all branches
of thu Government for sever consecutive years
should have so conducted it that you are now
appreheusiye Of ruin. There is no other con.
c'usion than that you have shown yourselvest to.
tally incapable Of administering It, aud it be-
comes the imperative duty Of MI patriots to
unite and turn you out of power and saye the
country rather than let you remain to tear down
the pillars Of the Confederacy aud involve us
a1 ir our common ruin, US you are threatening
to do. Selfpreservatlon and holy patriotism
demand tuat your faithless, dangerous party be
hurled from power.
Mr. Wade next discussed the demands Of the
South for territorial expansion, saying, that
the Senator from Georgih {Mr. Toombs) told us
that they we're in the possession. md he was
proud of it-and well be might be-o! 8500o0
square miles Of the most beautiful country God
ever bestowed upon man; and be informed Us,
Sir, that it was capublo Of sustaining populu-
tion greater than that Of Europe; and belese
he smoke within bounds when he said 80. He
told US there were but twelve millions Of people
intabiting that country. And VIC all know that
the Slaveholding States in point Of area arc one
third greater than the Free States, while
they contain now not more than one half Of the
population. What more do you want? Ccntu-
ries will roll away before you occupy what you
have; but the swa1ming North With half your
area has double your population. There are al
ready more white men in the Northwest than in
all a$n

conduct it in your own way. T. it is wrong
and it is wrong-your new philosophy cannot
stanl the scrutiny Of the present age. Yea,
more; it is 1ounutd on tie selftness and cuptdity
Of man, and not on the justice Of God. There

Territories Of This country, if I am right, and
Slavery is branded and coudeu1cd By the God

Mr. Wade closed by referring to the free ne

victims Of decp-rooted prejudice, so deep Is to
make it apparent that the two races could not
