The Irrepressible Conflict

In the late conciliatory speech in the House
of Representatives of Mr. KELLosa, the rep
resentative from LISooLN's district occurs
this passage
Fifty years ago ii was generally CONCEDED,
South as well North, that slavery was wrong
but since hen education and political training had
greatly changed the current of mems feelings
with regard 10 this question; and now the opn
i the pe9Re ga S be essanggd fy v might sb
South would believe that slavery was right. They
might iegislate till the sun grew tired in his
course, and yet the Northern mind would retain
the belief tina, slavery was "a moral and political
evil. This was subject on which il was useless
to legisla,e. His proposition was to do their
question in the Territory of Louisiana was agi
lated. How WAS that agitation met and settle =
Their fathers ut once applied II remedy. They
drew a line between the slave and free States,
SAYING that north Of that line slavery should not
be, but south of Ii that slavery might exist. The
result WAS that peace was restored to the com
try--an undsiurbed peace of thirty years--durin3
which time the country devoted Itself tothe de-
veloping OF tl,eir natural resources "
If, Us Mr.. KELLOGG AYERS nothing can change
the belief in the Northern mind that slavery
is u moral and political evil, then the conflict
between the two sections is indeed irrepres-
sible. With such innumerabie occasions Of
collision as must cons family arise, harmony
is impossible. 1t is precisely this belief
ia the sin OF slavery which is at the bot
tom OF all the agitation the subject,
which rendered the settlement of 1890 and
all subsequent settlements mere Temporal
~ expedicnts, and which will render all
patched up compromises hereafter as ineffec-
tuai as dykes to keep out permanently the
great ocean. For while, these artificial bar
riers may hold back the sea, rs In Holland,
but there, ever, always In full sight, washing
our very feet, Is that vast ocean, undermining
