Now sir, if one so humble as myself ma,
venture an opinion upon these and kindred
matters, must be allowed to say that tn,

first as lastio the realization of the truth
that the coast States are aiming not so much
at expansion uHhn as expansion utioM the
Union Visions of conquest. visions of mill
tary glory, float before the southern eathu
slast, in the glowing speeches Of a Peer the
Hermit of new crusade, whose declared
policy il was " to nilame the southern mind
fire the southern heart. and preclptate the
cotton States into a revolution"
But where is slavery to expand The
South goes ont of the Union and it will never
touch as much earth Of the territory that
now belongs to it as can grasp thus
Never Never! A war of thirty years will
never got it back. If you fight, You will
never extort by a treaty from the North the
same guarantees that yon.now have in this
Constitution emblaZ>ned on those shields
above us-the very type ofnationa! strength
and national unity.
Where is slavery to expand =? Will it be to
Central America? There England exercises
sovereignty over more than half OF her do

Have we forgotten that the Earl of Aberdeen
admitted that the utmost influence Of the
Government waste be excrtcd to procure the
adjustment Of slavery in Texas: and both
he and Mr.. Packenham admitted that this
was with the ultimate view of a similar
result in the United States! At This very
hour commissioner is said to be in England
to negotiate for southern independence. and
to enter into an offensive and defensive treaty,
based upon mutually of interests. The
South cannot descend to take the manufac
tnrcs of NcW England. but she will gladly
take those OF OM England. No matter that
she does give secure refuge in Canada to
every fugitive slave no matter that she did
give in her domnions a safe place for Brown
and his coniederates ohatch their trcasona-

English subject, to drill them no matter if
