LoYEJoY,s SPEECH.

Inc speech winch LoFeJOy Iiasee III 'iiS AAe, =
Representatives few days ago, which gave tlss :
to the scene of excitement of which we nave reaa
so much in the newspapers, is certainly one Oh
most violent and infam,matory harangues eyer ".
lyered in the National Congress. old 1iod'nss, IN
| his palmest day, never excelled ioYelos ~ his
manifestations of malignant hostility 20 the peopie
| and the institutions of the South.
Thus, he denominates slavery as the source q az
human yillanies-worse than murder, arson, tneie,
| or all of them combined. He declared hnlseh an
endorser Of the Helper Book, with all us Dlooay
and brutal doctrines, and was proud TO say SO.
He advocated the forcible resistance OF slaves 70
their masters, even to murder and ASSASSINATION
| and he promised them his personal assistance, II
/ they should come along his way, in their attempt
| to escape.
| And yet this infamous speech, instead OF being
repudiated by the organs Of the Black Republican
party is warmly commended and applauded, and
its author held up as one Of the representative
men Of the organization Of which he is member.
The New York Tribune advises thattwo millions OF
copies of this speech be printed and circulated,
and thus have its detestable doctrines sown broad
cast throughout the whole North to fill the hearts
Of the people there with the virus of hatred to the
South.
What a blessed fraternity exists, to be sure,
in this Union Of ours! A representative in Con
gress gets up in his place, and denounees the
people of one half of the country as worse than
cut throats and robbers; and leading newspaper
wishes such speech to be placed in the hands of
every voter in the other half. And yet we live
under the same Constitution, fight under the same
flag and cheat ourselves with the deusion that we
are friends and brothers. If this is the sort of
Union contemplated by the trainers of the Consti-
tuition, it were better that their task had never
been undertaken.
