he loved as a brother, that man is John
C. Breckenridge. Upon the point men.
toned, they differed. He Gov. Brown,
sought protection /; he was the friend o.
this Union, but would leave it to Idle
men to sing her hosannas. but, said he
if this Union is Gully to be preserved by
surrendering your rights and your equal
ity, then take my commission, and ger
somebody else to do the dirty work, for
| never will. Unless you can have pro-
lection to slave property in the Terrific
ries, it will not go there. Ii the whole
emigration be from the North, and they
ask admission, Of course they will be
admitted as a free State. II you will
but convince the North that you are in
earnest, they will halt in their mad
career.
The contest, he said, would end in
the election of Lincoln. He would not
disguise it; lie would say SO as a patriot,
as a friend. Would a physician be al
honest man who, standing over the bed
side Of dying husband, shoIId tell his
wife that in a few days he would BE-
we'll?
In the event OF Lincoln's election, he
might be asked, what will the South
do? He would answer, l do not know.
But be would tell what she ought to DO.
lie would have tue Southern States, or
50 many of them rs could be induced
to act in concert-say Georgia, South
Carolina, Mississippi, and a few others
meet in joint convention, through dele
gates chosen by the people. Withdraw
your representatives from a Congress
unwilling to protect your rights. But
so far as the laws upon the statute book
are concerned, be would see them faith
fully executed. He would return the
delegation to Congress when the North
should give sufficient guarantees; but if
she refused, hi. mind was made up.
He would have the Southern States
unite in a Southern c%onfederacy, and
thus break up the Union. H. knew
that in saying this he was laying his
own political head upon the block, with
the knife suspended over him. But,
said he. let it fall. He had carefully,
calmly, deliberately considered what he
said. He was proud Of the honors Of
State had conferred upon him but
he would not insult bis people by SAYING
that he would wait for an covert act"
Those of you who think that Lincoln
will turn a stark mad fool, and turn you
all into subsection like so many Caman-
che ponies, mistake the man. He will
treat you as you would n wild young
horse-pat you first, molnt the seat,
ply the lash, and drive you seventy mics
a day. You cannot submit. if you would.
The present census W II show tina.
there are in Mississippi 100000 blacks
to 100000 whites. The purpose Of the
Republican party is to e~msncipate this
people; and the same power at the
North which sets the negro free, will
defend him when ho is free. If you
haven't The place to meet the enemy at
the door-,ill, he will drive you from the
hearth-stone through the back-loor.-
Better resist now better 60 out of the
Union at midday, than BE- lighted out
Of it at midnight by the burning of your
own dwellings.
If there WA a candidate in TIE field
who agreed precisely with what hs sa!d
to-day, that mau would get his vote
but be added, if zoe cannot get all that
zoe ask, let as take ,chot we can get.
10 conclusion, he would give his Bell
and Everett friends a little piece of ad-
vice. He didn't think it was exactly
honest in them to hurrah so much for
Douglas in order to create divisions in
the Democratic party. They reminded
him Of an old lady in Tennessee who
had a very curious distaste for corn. She
couldn't use it 10 bread, cakes, dump
lings, or other eatables. but when man
ufactured into whiskey, she could man
age to worry a little Of it down. So with
his Bell friends. They can't stomach
the Democracy Of Jackson or of Polk,
but when perverted into Douglasism,
they could worry a little Of it down.
Now whisky is very good in its place;
SO is Douglasism, as far as it goes, but
be would caution them not to worry
down too much of 1t.
